"Huh?" Immediately, eyebrows raised at Ferrri''s word as they all turned to look at the gargantuan pce.


    It was protected by high walls, preventing them from reallyying eyes on it, but now they had to make an important choice.


    Even then, there were guards almost everywhere, surrounding the entire pce as if a raid was currently ongoing within.


    It would be slightly difficult to even try reaching the pce to Nn, but looking at the Godly ten, he believed they had way of going through.


    Now an important question arose.


    Should they head for the pce or continue to the rift to close it first?


    Besides, what could be in the pce that drew Ferris''s attention so much? It seemed to be more powerful and grave than his sensing of the rift itself.


    "How grave is it?" Oliver asked Ferris, who turned his gaze away to look at him.


    "Very bad!" Ferris called out, and Oliver made his decision.


    "We go into the pce first and resolve whatever lies within. The rift won''t go anywhere, and we''ll have more than enough time to close it..."


    "Did anyone ever stop to think—if the rift is open, why did the Anteans seem settled and unworried?"


    "Shouldn''t they be more scared or have evacuated this ce by now?" Nn suddenly asked, causing them all to narrow their eyes.


    Verily, his point made sense. ording to Ferris, the rift was just behind the pce.


    If the rift is just behind the pce, it should currently be spewing out an incredible amount of nightmarish creatures, yet the Anteans were all going about their business like nothing was happening.


    That, in itself, was mystifying and an rm that something was wrong.


    "We take things one at a time," Oliver said, and Nn simply shrugged.


    "Fine."


    "Can you get us within that pce, Gojo?" Oliver asked.


    "It will take three teleportations," Gojo replied seriously, and Oliver nodded.


    "It''s not like we''re hiding from the Anteans, but it would be better if we can do this mission as discreetly as possible," Oliver said as he rose to his feet.


    Gojo stretched out his hand, which was grabbed by Oliver and then Aidan, and quickly, they all held hands once more.


    "Shiva Descent Skill: Teleportation," Gojo called out as his eyes lit up from within his blindfold, and instantly, the space where they stood exploded, and they disappeared within the explosion.


    The next instant, Nn opened his eyes and found himself standing in the sky of the Antis city close to the pce.


    His gaze turned to the ground as various Anteans turned their shocked gazes to the entities that stood in the sky.


    "Shiva Descent Skill: Teleportation!" Gojo''s voice rang out once more, and instantly, they disappeared into the void of space again, leaving behind nothing but a cracked and unstable space that had the Anteans wondering if they were all hallucinating.


    In the next instant, Nn opened his eyes. They were now just a few meters away from the magnificent pce, and once more, Gojo called out.


    "Shiva Descent Skill: Teleportation."


    In the next instant, Nn felt his feet solidify on the ground. Rising up, he could see they were all now on top of the pce, their eyes overseeing the entire Antis kingdom.


    -Enjoy!


    Immediately, Nn''s eyes moved towards a particr space that was covered in pitch darkness in the farthest distance, and from it, he could also sense the strange energy which was none other than Terror Flux.


    He could guess it was where the rift ought to be located, but still, it was pretty far away from the pce.


    "YOUR HANDS UP AND ON YOUR KNEES ON THE GROUND! NOW!!!" A roar followed by rapidly rippling waves resounded as they all turned their gaze to the side and found Anteans in armor swimming towards them with speed, their various tridents in hand.


    It was clear they had been sighted already.


    "Get us out of here," Oliver called to Gojo as they all immediately held hands and then...


    BOOM!


    The ce where they stood rippled once more as various tridents immediately mmed hard on their position, but they met with nothing but crumbled floors.


    The Anteans arrived at the scene to find nothing but their tridents having destroyed the marble floor.


    "They''re gone again..." an Antean called out.


    "They can''t be far! Spread out!" a bulky Antean merman called out to all of them as they immediately spread out, moving back into the pce.


    _____________


    The next instant, Nn felt the ground beneath his feet solidifying, and opening his eyes, he saw they were all now in a golden alleyway, with the walls filled with various images of the mermen and Anteans posing with their tridents and crowns on their heads.


    It was clear they were now in the pce.


    "A couple of guards are closing in from the north and west positions," Gojo reported as he turned his gaze to the distant walls, almost as if he could see through them.


    Nn wasn''t much surprised if he could do so. The young man was wearing a blindfold, yet it was clear to all that he could see wherever he was going.


    It wouldn''t be much of a surprise if he could see through walls too, but Nn often wondered why he always wore a blindfold, though.


    He had never seen him try to take it off, even once.


    "We need to speak with the King. Where is the throne room?" Oliver asked as Gojo''s eyes shed around the walls,and soon they locked onto a certain ce.


    Once more, he stretched out his hand, and the others grabbed onto it. In the next instant, they instantly disappeared from where they stood.


    BOOM!


    BOOM!


    The door to the alleyway was opened by the Antean soldiers who looked around the room, finding nothing before they immediately disappeared from it, going to search for another ce.


    Their realm had been invaded, and they needed to bring the invaders to justice for their impromptu entrance!
