Chapter 167: Yumikos Transcendence (1/2)

5 minutes later, the cracks which appeared from the Door of Transcendence above Yumiko has reached the point where it could now be clearly seen. However, along with that, it also started to repair itself.

If she let up with her attacks, the damage to the door that she achieved would be healed completely, rendering her efforts useless.

”Is that normal, Nysia?”

”Yes. That's why it gives you 3 days to prepare. You have to make sure that after making those cracks, you still have enough strength to continue.”

”W-will Yumiko fail, Sister Nysia?”

Jayna who was also worried for Yumiko couldn't help but ask. What could be seen on her right were probably the Council of Twenty and among them were Harlan and her Father Jayce along with her mother. Those at the left were the twins, Rei and Ren as well as Jagu. There's also the Spirit King and Queen, Ezyn and Yse.

They're really there to stand guard against the Dark Elves or maybe just to watch a miracle to be born in their world. Unlike here, she will be the first Transcendent in that world. They will surely draw inspiration from her.

From the screen, I could see that there's a bitter smile on Ezyn's face, however, it's not envy. He just couldn't believe that Yumiko already surpassed him while she's still a Noble Spirit. That would become an added motivation for him.

Yse on his side waved at me, she probably saw Nysia and my connection with her. Those eyes of her were still a mystery. To see through people's destiny. Thanks to that I got a clearer view of my companions and how important they are to me.

Yumiko soon took out her Gohei, the streamers attached to it fluttered as she started to spin that rod. Following that, her Noble Crest materialized in front of her and the Sea behind her moved to cover it. As her Gohei spun faster, a huge beam of light shot towards her Noble Crest from her weapon. The Phantom of the Spirit behind mimicked her movements which empowered that beam of light to shine brighter.

As soon as that light passed through her Crest and the Sea that was covering it, the beam of light was magnified at least 10 times as it continued to shoot towards the Door of Transcendence.

The slightly dim night brightened as if the sun had already risen from the east. Due to it, not everyone could continue staring at it.

With the intensity of that beam of light, it continued to drill through the door and the cracks which were currently being healed started to expand again as more cracks appeared.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three minutes.

CRACK!

After three grueling minutes of intense light drilling to it, the huge archaic door issued loud cracking sounds as pieces of it started to fall off from the sky. The previously tightly closed door was finally broken open by Yumiko!

When that happened, every spectator watching below, even those who closed their eyes, cheered loudly as if it was them who broke that door open.

However, the cheering was short-lived. From that open, a white spirit-like creature appeared. It was human-sized and looks like it has a physical appearance. However, it has no face! Only a large oval-shaped crack in the middle of its head with huge sharp teeth embedded around it.

As soon as it appeared, everyone gasped in surprise at its visage but what made them speechless was a few seconds later, a second identical creature appeared from beyond that door.

And it didn't stop at two. More and more creatures started to pour out from the door, completely blocking her way inside.

Yumiko stood still as she watched it happen in front of her.

Jayna on the other hand was panicking as she asked if they should help Yumiko. The others were also looking for an answer as they all stared at the screen.

”You can't and you shouldn't. She won't fail her Transcendence but anyone who will attempt to help her might lose their lives. You can only watch and stand guard for her ”

Nysia answered them. As someone who already passed that stage, her words were like an answer sheet to an exam.

They could only nod and watch in bated breaths as Yumiko started her charge through that sea of unknown creatures.

However, before Yumiko and those creatures clashed, the screen unfortunately faded. The video call duration has ended...

”What are those creatures?”

I turned to Nysia after I finished digesting what I just watched. It's a shame that it ended right at that time

”I also don't know. It's always different. You shouldn't expect the same thing will be waiting for you after breaking that door. Just call them the Door Guardians and that's still the 1st part. Only after passing through that door will the 2nd part start.”

Nysia seriously reminded me. It's too bad that I could only witness halfway through the 1st part.
