Chapter 290: Nearing the Portal Location (2/2)

I have a lot of questions piled up in my mind. Who knows, maybe they could answer some of it?

Hearing my words, Fleur and Jayna couldn't help but giggle at my last sentence.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the vicinity of another Merged Zone. This time, it was bigger than even the first one.

Four individual Zones merged into one.

As soon as I stepped my foot inside the Merged Zone, my Adaptability warned me of an immediate danger along with the restriction placed upon those not adapted to Dark Energy.

”Everyone, quickly use any kind of defensive spell or skill!”

I hurriedly said as they entered the Zone one by one after me.

With the Nullification Zone and Bulwark of Invulnerability opened the first barrage of attacks was prevented by me. However, the danger which my Adaptability perceived was still there.

The Incarnation jumped in front of me opening her own Nullification Zone while using the Energy stored in her body.

Following her, Jayna's Earthfire was unleashed in its entirety, creating a wall of Earthfire blocking another set of attacks.

I don't know what's happening but it appears that the guards in this Merged Zone expected our arrival and placed an ambush right at the entrance.

When the wall of Earthfire subsided we finally saw what's in front of us. A number of Rank 5 Mortals barraging us with their skills. Behind them were at least four Transcendents whose Domains or Skills buffed those Mortal Ranks.

Before the next set of attacks could be launched, Fleur already finished casting a 12-nodes Water Elemental Spell, enclosing us with a ring of Water Wall. A bit similar to the Water Prison she enclosed the Werewolf Transcendent back then. This one's function was like a bunker.

And using the two opened slits in the front, Hikari and Boris both cast a 10-nodes Elemental Skills aimed at the group of Mortal Ranks in front.

”We were spotted or it's possible that we're really near the Portal Location which explained this kind of heavy guard.”

The Incarnation said as we watched some of the Mortal Ranks fall under Hikari and Boris' spells.

”Then, it's possible that they will also be informed of our arrival. We're in for more difficult battles now.”

I said before taking out the Totem Pole conjuring a half enhanced Clone to charge out and clear a path for us. After that, I threw every one of us with the three types of boosts as I opened Bedevilled Outbursts to have a counter bombardment against them.

”Yes. Once we reached the Portal Location, we wouldn't just face the heavy guards placed there but also we have to defend the place while we're closing the Portal.”

The Incarnation nodded as she charged out and exercised her overwhelming Energy Control by using more of the Energy stored inside her, disturbing the Dark Energy in the area which resulted in some of the enemies failing to activate their skills.
