BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98 The Merging Of Worlds (Part 1)
"I guess it's our good luck as the dean just texted for us to meet at the location he sent, we are finally leaving the forest", Ray said as he stood up and started to stretch out a bit.
On the other hand, Aliya's eyes also sparkled in delight at the mention of leaving the forest as she also stood up and spoke in relief,
"Thankfully, it's time we left this God damn forest and head back to being normal",
However, Aliya's words did not bring much enthusiasm as both Ray and Emma had an expression of worry on their face.
" What happened to both of you? Looking at you, it seems as if you aren't happy to leave this hellish place", Aliya said in annoyance as she saw both of them making strange expressions.
"Uhm, it's not that we are not pleased with leaving the forest. The thing is that we are still in a dangerous area with at least two dozen mutated wolves on our backs. If not for this place masking our presence, we would have been ambushed a hundred times over", Emma sighed as she explained to Aliya, the source of her worry.
"Not only that, but we are also forgetting that we have to group up with Noah and Elina as well", Ray added as he paced around in thought.
"Where did the dean call us?", Emma asked as she contemplated something.
"The meeting point is a bit deeper in the forest. The dean said that he wanted to show us something before we leave", Ray answered as asked,
"Do you know a way to get us out of here?",
"I might be able to get us out of here without causing much of a commotion but it would take some time to find a perfect route. Also, we need to get Elina and Noah to regroup with us as well", Emma said as she told Ray of her idea.
"Okay, let me send you the location. You find a route. Until then, I will inform Noah and Elina to regroup with us", Ray said as he agreed with her plan.
After that, Ray turned around to look at Tim and found him laying beside a tree, heaving slightly in pain.
"Hey Tim", Ray said as he walked and sat besides Tim.
As Tim heard Ray calling him, he opened his eyes slightly as he tried to sit up straight,
"Urghh", Tim groaned in pain as his injuries acted up again and his body started to ache all over.
"No don't, it will mess up your condition even more", Ray said as he accessed his system storage and took out two things from within it, and said,
"Take these, they will help you with your injuries and you will be up in no time",
"What are these and why are you giving them to me?", Tim asked in surprise as he looked at Ray in amusement.
"I am giving these to you so you could heal better and help us all out. Most importantly, I am giving these to you because I consider you a friend of mine. As for what these are? You don't need to worry about that, just use them. You won't be harmed in any way", Ray said as he smiled slightly and handed them to Tim.
Taking the things from Ray, Tim looked at them as he examined them.
When examined, he realized that they were some sort of talisman and a potion.
"Consume the potion first and keep the talisman safe. It will help you with the recovery of your arm", Ray said as he looked at Tim's stump.
On the other hand, Tim nodded and opened the cork of the potion, and consumed it in one go.
Just as Tim consumed the potion, he felt a strange sensation in his body as the potion slid down from his throat to his stomach.
He felt warm all over as his body felt refreshed and energized. A little while later, things only got better as he felt every single cell of his body brimming with power and healing itself on its own.
Slowly, his wounds started to close as his pale face also started to regain its rosy color.
"Woah! What potion is this? I feel ten times better already", Tim exclaimed in excitement as he moved his hands in amazement.
"The potion name isn't necessary. What's necessary is that you are okay", Ray said nonchalantly as he played down his part and smiled slightly.
Seeing Ray's reaction, Tim let the matter go. However, in his heart, he made a vow to repay this favor and help Ray whenever necessary.
"Now that you are feeling well, let's go. We don't want to keep the dean waiting, don't we?", Ray said as he turned around to leave while Tim followed behind.
As Ray left, he used his mental transmission technique to inform Elina and Noah of his plan.
As for what the plan was? It was very simple, both Noah and Elina were outside of danger as they were not in the area where the mutated wolves roamed.
Thus, Ray transmitted the meeting location to them and also told them the time of the meeting.
With that done, Ray and the others stood around Emma as she used her system to determine the best path to use,
"Got it. Let's go, the path deriving from the east is safer and has less distraction. It won't slow us down much and we would only lose about five minutes more than usual", Emma said as she opened her eyes.
Listening to Emma, everyone else nodded and started to move towards the location as they followed Emma who led them to their location.
Meanwhile,
Within the safety hideout where all the capturers fled to,
"Boooom… Banggg… Boooom",
Several sounds reverberated in the cave as several explosions went off in the cave.
"You think you could use those petty tricks to deceive me?", the dean shouted in anger as he finally took out his weapon.
"Now, Behold! The power of a celestial", the dean exclaimed as he took out a golden trident and held it in his hands.
"Hahahaha… Prometheus, I dare you to use even half of your strength in this world. If you do, it will only accelerate my plans as the merging process of both worlds would only fasten", the lanky professor laughed as he mocked the dean.
"I don't care, Edward, we are ready enough to hold the ground after the world falls", The dean said sternly as he knocked his trident on the ground.
"Good.. Good, if you think you are prepared then you will love my present for you", Edward said as he started to form hand seals with his hands.
After forming fifteen hand seals, the area around Edward lit up as runic patterns lit up all around.
"Now, behold. The true power", Edward said as dark most started to seep out from all around.
"Whatever tricks you are playing, they won't work on me", The dean said as he lifted his trident and swung it towards Edward, sending out a beam of light.
However, just as the beam reached Edward, it disintegrated into countless particles.
"Prometheus, today you shall witness the start of what was meant to be the uprising of the human race. You will see as the merging of both worlds starts and brings the dawn of a new era", Edward said as he laughed like a maniac.
"Impossible, the worlds wouldn't merge until the souls of two hundred mythical creatures are sacrificed along with the blood of a celestial", the dean said in surprise as his eyes opened wide at the scene he saw.
In front of the dean, opened a portal as he saw through it, The Silent Night Forest could be seen from above as the lord of the forest presided over it.
The Lord of the forest turned around and looked through the portal and directly at the dean as an eerie voice sounded,
"It has been enough time already. For what was written is to come true. I, the Oracle Of The First Primordial himself state the start of a new age as your world has time until the next full moon to prepare for the arrival of the new age",
The Lord said as he opened his mouth wide and started to suck everything around himself.
As he did, countless souls started to flow through the portal and entered the lord's mouth. If one looked closely, one would see that all of the souls were extremely similar to a werewolf.
After those souls were absorbed, Edward took out a dagger and slit his hand open as blood flowed from within it and into the portal.
While all this happened, the dean saw everything in fear as everything that he had dreaded for the last decade finally came to pass.
