VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Chapter 248 The golden gate

[{ "Sera, leave them. Come down here." }]

[{ Yes… master… }]

She could barely keep herself floating right now. She had used up all the strength she had and, even after using the Grass that she got from the creature, she could not process all the power contained within that thing as well as that creature could.

She was not used to her Holy powers, much less her Celestial body. She didn't even have divinity to finely refine all the power contained within that glowing grass, so it was more harmful to her in larger amounts than helpful.

So, she didn't take much after the first time and continued on with whatever she could.

Fending off the flying creatures was no easy task since even with her three pairs of wings, the wings of those creatures were several times greater than hers.

She was tired, but she still fought against them and only after Elio reached the central safe zone covered in a strange silver fog barrier that was slowly being penetrated by the monsters that attacked it from all around its periphery.

"We have to get out… open the gate."

"But master-."

"We don't have time, Sera!"

He shouted at her when she was about to ask him about that divine creature and the other creatures of this place.

Right now, he wasn't thinking about just his personal wishes, all the creatures gathered here, the tiger, the squirrel, the white snake… all of them were looking at him with concern and fear.

They had been with him for a long time but they had lived in this place for their entire lives.

This was their home, and right now, that home was being destroyed. And, if even their divine guardian cannot stop this destruction, there was no way the rest of them would be able to do it.

Still…

"It could be dangerous. We don't know where we will end up."

Sera stretched her arm out and a deep golden light was shot out from her palm.

"It doesn't matter… I'll just trust my luck. Any place will be better than this one right now."

Elio wanted that creature, the strength of that divine creature would help them with not just the further leveling up part, but when fighting against the chaos that was on the horizon…

It was strong, and if it had held its own against all these creatures for so long, it was strong enough to go against whatever was going to come for them. At least, it was strong enough to be a partner of some high ranker, so it was certainly someone that would be a great help to their side if they have to fight against some kind of great Evil.

-Oooooooooooooong!

He was thinking about the future that was coming for them, but that didn't mean he was going to risk the lives of all these creatures that he had befriended just for that one creature.

"It looks pretty…"

The golden gate that was opened by the golden Key, the Relic of the past, the Key that opened up her potential, as well as the item that, as they had theorized, was closely related to heaven and the angels.

"Sera, you go ahead and with a few of them that wants to come with you.

The gate stays open for three minutes, right? Go see if you can come back here after passing through it once."

"…but master-."

"Go. I'll be right behind you if you cannot come back in five seconds."

He was going to leave with or without that creature, it was final now.

These creatures might not come with them, but if that happens, he would force them to go through this door.

He was stronger now, and with Sera, he would have all the strength needed to drag all of them to the other side.

Besides, they knew how dangerous this place had become, so there was no way they would want to stay here and risk the lives of their fellow families and friends.

"I'll go then."

Sera looked at him for a moment once, then she gave a glance to the creature behind him and passed through the golden gate… the gates that were so intricately made that it seemed just too attractive to even Elio's eyes.

But, right now, he didn't have the time to admire this masterpiece of natural laws.

-Swish…

Sera passed through the gate and, thankfully, she came back within a few seconds as well.

"It seems fine, master. It's a forest area as well but there's no monster in that place so it doesn't seem like that place is the forest below this mountain."

"That's all we need…"

The path was safe. They were going to leave this place, and though the creatures, who were looking away at the purple sparks flying all around the sky, didn't seem to want it, they wanted these creatures to come with them as well.

"I know you can hear me!"

He knew what these creatures wanted after seeing this gate after instinctively knowing how it was the way out of this heaven-turned-hell.

"This is it! Just come! That's enough!" Your next chapter awaits on empire

The divine creature cared about the creatures of this forest even if it didn't want to do anything for Elio and Sera.

It was stubborn but it also didn't want to endanger the life of any of the creatures of this forest.

-Swish!

In fact, it wanted to save all of them present here.

"Hmmm?"

{ "The other side seems fine but there's no lake on the other side. Thankfully, the ocean is not far from there." }

The creature used its divine speed, went inside the gate and examined the other side quickly before coming back in an instant.

Then, without saying much, it started transporting the creatures of this forest to the other side one by one, starting with the heaviest of the fishes that were almost suffocating in the water of the lake which was constantly filling up with the dead bodies of an insurmountable amount of Monsters.

{ "You two! Go there! I'll leave a few of them just outside the gate! Help them!

Oh! How long do we have?!" }

The guardian of this paradise…

"Yes! Leave it to us!"

It was a caring being that knew what was the right thing.

{ "We will have a talk after this! You hear me!?" }

"Obviously!"

A home was only a home when the elements that make a home a home were there.

It might not have the amazing grass that helped it sustain its strength for a prolonged period in that place, but… it was the right thing to do.

So, it didn't really have any better option in this matter anymore.
