The Villain's Story Chapter [504] The gate.

Chapter 504 [504] The gate.

?It was an unearthly structure to gaze at, one that still required more time to be perfected. Drones and humans worked in harmony to perfect it.

Built from a material that resembled the texture of stone, and the color of obsidian it was mesmerizing, however, even though the color of it was pitch black, runic inscription could still be found on it. Almost invisible to the naked eye, but they possessed a strange...power to them that made them visible.

Everyone there inside the room, could feel their presence, like it was in itch or the p.r.i.c.k of a needle piercing into their skin.

To some, it was like that but to some it was also friendly, like the soft hum of a flute. It didn't cause any pain.

And to one, it was like home. Like it was a part of him.

The giant gate was almost completed, and the people who were constructing it became ready. They protected themselves with the best quality armor they had, and the best weapons they could forge.

Two parties were present in the room, one belonging to the Wellingtons, led by the patriarch himself. He was adorned in an armor reminiscent of a golden lion, with red ruby eyes that seemed to be alive. The sword he wielded was also a formidable weapon, like it was made from golden liquid itself.

It seemed to be more a fluid than a solid, one wondered how it would even cut but they didn't want to be the ones to face it head on.

Who knows? Maybe that thing was one of the strongest weapons on Earth. Aside from the Patriarch, various trusted and strong members of the family were also present, each adorned in an armor that put even Richard's armor to shame.

The other party, was of course the Twilight guild party, who were in a collaboration with the Wellington, The two parties joined together to make the portal after Sabrina had figured out the coordinates.

The Wellingtons would have had an edge over Twilight if they didn't need Alan to activate the portal. They would have even decided to construct the portal by themselves if Alan wasn't the only one who knew the materials.

Sadly, they couldn't monopolize on such an opportunity and had to contact Twilight. Although Alan was aware that Sabrina had found spatial coordinates, he didn't say anything due to his main focus of interest at that time being Elvenheim.

But, after a lot of efforts and trials to gather the materials and keep the mission as covert as possible, they were finally able to construct the portal. The riots outside about Alan clearing the tower helped in keeping this whole operation a secret. And Alan had to sacrifice his time, and dignity to attend any meetings he could.

Of course, he was forced to do this. He had already missed many days of school. As well as Sabrina.

The other party was of course Twilight, who had gathered their strongest hunters as well as Predator to venture into the world that the portal would soon lead too.

"This is exciting."

Maxwell said, as he watched from the back. Soon, the portal would be complete, and he would have the chance to venture into another world.

The furthest humans had made it was to mars, and that was a desolate planet that was considered useless to terraform, especially with the threats Earth was dealing with.

They had done quite a bit on the moon though. But, that wasn't prosperous as well.

"Well, it can still go bad."

Alan said from the sidelines, prompting everyone to look at him. He looked back at the people in the room and said.

"They are the coordinates of a planet, we don't know whether it is a good planet or not... Just a planet. Who knows? It could be a sea planet or a barren planet."

He continued, oblivious of the gazes of the others. Who were having their hopes smashed in front of their eyes.

"..."

Sabrina looked at him with a disappointed gaze, she knew he was an idiot in this regard but this...was too much.

[Quiet down.]

"..."

She said, stopping him before he ruined their hopes once again. Yes, it was an unknown planet and they were most likely the first pure humans to step foot on one, and it may be a highly dangerous planet...but.

Come on! Think of the prospects! The treasures! The new sights and the thrill! One could dream, could they not? The people said their prayers as the drones finished the construction of the portal. Sabrina and Alan went forth to inspect the portal.

Sabrina checked the coordinates inscribed on it, and Alan checked the mana signatures.

"It's ready to go."

They said at the same time, looking back at the team. Everyone had their eyes ablaze, and Sabrina went back.

"Good luck."

She said to Alan, who stood in front of the empty gateway. He looked at the veins in the ground before the portal, which were constructed to transform his liquidated mana to the portal.

"Haaa..."

Taking a deep breath, he knelt down and touched the veins with his fingers, ready to start the process but he waited.

"What's wrong?"

Sabrina's grandfather asked, yet Alan didn't answer him and only waited.

"You can start now."

After his guild master gave him permission, Alan started to circulate his spatial mana towards his fingers, it escaped in the form of sweat and filled the veins. It coursed through them and made a path towards the portal. Which began to light up.

The team behind him readied themselves with bated breaths, they held their s.h.i.+elds up high and their weapons were aimed at the portal.

Multiple spells, each of great magnitude were ready to launch within a second. Such a preparation was necessary, if they could go through it something, or worse 'someone' could come to their world through it as well.

"Hold."

Richard said, as Alan's mana coursed through the entire portal, making the obsidian like rock s.h.i.+ne. The engravings seemed alive and danced in the air as the portal finally showed a change.

A small crack appeared in the center.

"Ready the magic crystals."

The patriarch said, as he and his team took out a large number of magic crystals, no less than S rank.

They knew Alan couldn't supply the portal with mana for a long time, so they prepared these crystals beforehand, after confirming through him they would work.

They wondered how he knew, and they would be right if they thought he didn't. Alan just asked Lanesha the proper way to open and maintain a portal, as well as the materials required to make one.

Sadly, the materials that could be found on Earth could only make a portal of this scale, so they had to make do.

Finally, after Alan almost cursed out in exhaustion. The crack in the portal expanded, accompanied by a shrill sound.

"Finally!"

Everyone looked at it, with antic.i.p.ation.
