Sitting at his office desk, Nyx and Ryan were reading the book "Secular Stories of the year four thousand seven hundred". With each translated page, the two exchanged confused glances and made more notes.
<So this book has two purposes...>
'But why would they hide magic in a demonic history book?
<And why would they hide demonic stories in a book of mythology of the northern kingdoms?
'At least this is slowly making sense'
<At least to you. I'm sure I haven't spent more than fifteen hundred years imprisoned, and if it's the year four thousand seven hundred, and this book is considered ancient, the second world is advancing faster in time>
'And how could you possibly know the time in your head?'
<Your mana is like an hourglass, it always increases and decreases at the same frequency. If you don't have any evolution in your mana, it is possible to calculate the time needed for it>
'Using mana like a clock. Interesting'
<In my case, my mana is completely recharged in a natural way only every three weeks. So it is relatively easy to calculate the time I was stuck>
'I see...'
Ryan was looking intently at the white leather cover of that book. Until he noticed a strange detail in the closed book, so by turning the book upside down he made the words reverse themselves in order.
'That doesn't make sense...'
<The words changed, now it is written Portal Creation Manual>
'Portals?'
<Yes, portal spells were an invention of the lower world. The dark ruler Astaroth is a demon lord in love with portals>
Now, in addition to the dwarven kingdom invention manual, Nyx and Ryan had two more complete books to translate. "Start by translating the portal creation manual, it is more valuable. I'll check the dwarven book again" he said aloud, handing the book into the succubus' hands.
<How soon will you be able to complete the cure for Sylvanna? If you have sex with her, it may already be possible to check the portals and rituals in that book>
'According to the texts, my progress with the boxes is going well. So maybe today?'
<That would be perfect. Here are some very interesting portals>
'Interesting?'
<They are talking about the same portals as the guild>
Ryan's eyes widened at what Nyx said, rising from his chair he looked at the book carefully. "Tell me, what is written?!". Pointing to the words in the book, the succubus began to recite <A connection between two worlds can be created by sovereigns as one of the introductory bases for an intermediate attachment portal. It creates a point of flow, in time. Astaroth's research lab identified a way to produce this flow of time in the year three thousand two hundred, research needed>
With a hand on his chin, Ryan sighed "Why are they saying this so openly in a book?"
Nyx just turned her head in confusion <It's not open, no lower level demon could read that book. And it is almost impossible for a human to understand a demon language>
'Impossible?'
<Hmm... As far as I know, your demonic energy is linked with the ability to speak in that kind of language>
* Ring * Ring *
"One moment, I'll take the call"
As Ryan pulled the cell phone from his pocket, he narrowed down his eyebrow. "Ruri? Why is she calling me?"
*Beep*
"Ryan! We need your help. The guild is ********** "
"Ruri?! Repeat, What is happening?"
"The base is ******* one of the ****** is activated"
"******* They are calling ****** the portal"
* Beep * Beep * Beep *
As Ryan looked at the disconnected connection, a new notification came up. The teleport clock on his arm was flashing with a red light.
Ryan and Nyx exchanged glances "It has begun" he said.
<I'll get the boxes ready, get changed> She said.
They both nodded and he made his way to his room. The black cloak that Ryan had gotten at the red portal was currently his best armor. In addition, he was also using a light armor of magical fabric that was puncture resistant.
Resting on the wall of the room was a rifle that Ryan had received as a gift from Lyza, "I need to reward her for this" he said aloud as he took the rifle off the wall.
After reloading the weapon with his own mana, Ryan placed the rifle on his back. Then Nyx returned <I finished the preparations with the cubes>. Ryan placed the items in his inventory and teleported to the guild.
A blue portal appeared in front of him, and running with all his speed, Ryan went from one side of the portal to the other without stopping running. Leaving his house and being thrown in moments into the center of the guild's underground base.
The guild facilities were in chaos, from one side to the other, novice and experienced travelers were running towards the portals. An alarm sound was ringing incessantly. Until the voice of John Wrynn's assistant echoed through the walls of the base.
* WARNING: A SUPREME PORTAL HAS BEEN DETECTED. ALL GUILD WARRIORS ARE BEING MOBILIZED. *
The message was repeating itself over and over. Ryan hurried on towards the portal room, where he found Ruri and Kodiak.
"Ryan!" Ruri shouted.
The two hugged each other and then Kodiak explained the situation.
"A giant portal has appeared in the mountains of Neodrazzil. It hasn't reached the public yet" He said.
Ruri then added "It opened only thirty minutes ago, the guild is mobilizing everyone. Warriors who don't participate may be removed from the wonder project.
Kodiak's face was serious.
'That must include Roy...'
'Come on then' Ryan said, giving Kodiak a weak punch on the shoulder. The druid then gave a small smile and nodded. The three of them then ran out to one of the portals of the room, entering along with five other travelers.
As Ryan stepped through the warm, gelatinous feeling of the portal, he smelled the forest. The weather was refreshing, but the mood was still horrible. The forest was already soiled with blood, the bodies of gigantic bat-shaped creatures were scattered from one side of the portal to the other.
"Do you know these creatures?" Kodiak said.
Ruri was amazed at the size of the monsters "I've never seen anything like this" she replied. "Me neither" Ryan said as he approached the body of one of the bats.
The creature had been cut in half, a green goo was leaking from the flesh. The core of the monster was exposed, as were the internal organs that made up that disgusting creature.
'Do you have any idea what that is?' Ryan questioned, he was holding a stick, analyzing the tissues that made up that monster.
'<Yes... They are creatures from the abyss>
'Abyss?'
A roar of fury echoed through the skies. Ryan quickly stood up, and withdrawing his rifle he aimed in the direction of the sound.... A black smoke was coming out of the portal, amidst the smoke, a bat-like creature appeared. The monster had a pair of torn wings, the creature had no eyes, only a nose and two ears. There was a green goo coming out of the creature's mouth that quickly reached the skies.
A warning arose in the minds of all the warriors watching that sight. "Testing, one, two. Seven here. I am trapping this creature and all of you in a dome twenty kilometers in diameter."
At the same instant, Ryan activated his wings and leaped into the skies of that forest. "Nyx, check my back. I'm going to boost my demonic energy a bit" He said, as he aimed for the smoke.
The bat boss was flying over the smoke coming out of the portal, until a point of light flew out and hit that creature's head, lifting the creature up into the sky. The monster flew out with a roar of pain, making all the bats even more annoyed, and then hundreds of the smaller bats started coming out of the smoke from all sides, both from inside the portal and from the forest.
Using the rifle, Ryan began taking down those bats, one by one. A pile of monsters began to gather in the sky, one of the guild mages was connecting those monsters with a magic that was creating a purple cord around the neck of the creatures. The monsters were being pulled from side to side, getting stuck.
With a single shot, Ryan was able to eliminate fifty creatures at once. "I think my demon energy is good enough now.
<You're going to start?
'Exactly'
The rifle disappeared from his hands. Nyx pulled five dwarf cubes from Ryan's inventory, each one with a different crystal its top. The cubes began to rotate around Ryan, who was channeling his mana into each of those tools.
<It's working>
"So I just need to control..."
Ryan reached out and touched two of the cubes. Within seconds the two boxes opened and connected in his hand like gloves, his mana began to drain with amazing speed. The remaining cubes began to rotate with greater intensity, until they lined up around Ryan.
His mana channeled itself, forming two arms of energy at his side. Ryan's demonic aura began to flow around that armor, creating an intense heat that caught the attention of the warriors on the ground.
"That? That's a boss?"
"No... Look, there's a man over there"
"Is that on our side?"
The confused looks turned to admiration as Ryan made his first attack. With a simple movement of those hands, he launched a flaming slash that destroyed hundreds of the bats that were flying back and forth across the skies in that region.
