Chapter 219 Approaching the portal 3 (1/2)

'I wonder what kind of face she would make if she knew I was an elder...'

As Mars wondered while he stared at Mal Terry asked.

”So what brings you here Mars?”

”Well I am here because I need your help.”

Mars briefly explained the situation and how close he was to the portal to which Terry asked

”How are you so close to the portal already? did you drop off your escort somewhere?”

”Well... We kind of had a disagreement so I killed them all.”

Terry breathed a sigh before he spoke.

”Of course you did.... I would not expect anything less from my elder brother.”

”Hey was that sarcasm? You sure have grown bold joiner brother.”

Mars instantly closed the distance before he took Terry into a headlock under his arm and messed up his hair. That is until he felt a strong killing intent and looked over at Mal that tightened her grip on her spear as she glared at Mars, then he released Terry and asked.

”So will you help me?”

”Sure Mars, the quicker we close the portal the better.”

”Okay then... let's go.”

Just as Mars spoke a portal opened nearby on the wall and the three of them walked through it together before it closed behind them...

The next stop was in the middle of a forest, or more specifically in the middle an army encampment in the middle of a forest. Mars and Terry both turned their heads in the same direction before they began walking towards a big tent that surprisingly had no guards outside it, Mal looked around curious as she followed behind them, then Mars called out.

”Hel, you in there?”

Some time passed before Hel exited the tent and looked at both Mars and Terry with obvious hatred in her eyes, then she asked.

”...What do you want?”

Mal was about to yell at Hel but was stopped by Terry that shook his head slightly, then Mars spoke.

”Well I have a portal about 5 hours away from the portal by flight and I wondered if you wanted to come with?”

Hel thought for a moment before she turned her head to the side and gave a nod.

”...Fine”

”Good then”

Then just as they finished talking a portal opened up nearby which the group stepped though...

The next stop was on an open plain where a military encampment was set up, the group arrived in the middle of the encampment before Mars once again took the lead and walked over to a big tent where guards were posted. The guards spotted Mars and the others and drew their weapons before one of them yelled.

”Who are you!?”

Mars was about to speak but then Hel gave a snort as she waved her hand and instantly all 5 of the guards were crushed into bloody paste, Mars looked over at Hel and asked her.

”Can't you show some resistant?”

”Why should I? they are just mortals.”

Mars gave a sigh and dropped the subject before he called out.

”Elder sister I need to talk with you.”

Soon Tatiana stepped out of the tent, she was as always wearing her slightly loose fitting golden robe. She gave a smile when she saw Mars and Terry, although that smile stiffened slightly when she saw Hel and how her guards had been transformed into bloody paste. Mars followed her line of sight and felt like he had to apologize for Hel.

”Sorry about that.”

Tatiana gave a sigh before she spoke.

”They were some good children... Well never mind that, why are you here Mars? I know you didn't just come to see me, so what is it? Something interesting perhaps?”

”Well the truth is I need your help, I have gotten close to the portal but there's something keeping me from closing it.”
