The Author's POV

As soon as Ryan pressed a few of the buttons on the control panel, the portal that he had constructed began to behave in a peculiar way.

There was a rustling in the air, and on the control panel, there were suddenly rows upon rows of data that appeared with each second that passed.

The information that was written on the panels was incomprehensible to me. Even with the chip in my head, I couldn't make heads or tails of what was written on them. The same couldn't be said for Rayn, who looked through the data in a composed manner and typed a variety of different codes at the speed at which they were appearing.

Ta!

With the sudden press of a key, Ryan urged us back.

"...The portal is connected. Take a couple of steps back. "

"Sure."

I complied with his request and moved a couple of steps back.

After not even a fraction of a second had passed since I had taken a step back, the portal started violently trembling, and an eerie whistling sound that was reminiscent of that of the wind blowing inside of a storm started to reverberate throughout the room.

Rata! Rata! Rata!

The large metallic portal began to shake, as did the room, which had already been shaking slightly before this occurred.

"Okay, the connection is established!"

The loud reverberation of Ryan's voice occurred at the precise moment when the shaking started to become more intense.

He pressed another key and everything went deathly quiet. The shaking stopped, and so did all the noise.

Ryan hurriedly moved toward where the portal was with a large core in the palm of his hand.

"Ready?"

He asked whilst looking at both Angelica and I.

Meeting Angelica's eyes, we both nodded our heads as we quietly observed from a distance.

"Ready."

"Ready. "

"Okay."

Ryan shattered the core in his hand and a wave of mana exploded in the air. The scene looked similar to a large explosion of colors as the mana instantly started to spread throughout the entire room.

Well...at least, attempted to.

When Ryan placed his hand on the edge of the portal, the mana that was previously unrestrictedly moving through the room abruptly came to a stop. Then, much like a magnet, it began to draw closer and closer to the center of the portal.

"Done."

Ryan wiped the sweat that had accumulated on his forehead and moved toward where we were.

"What do we do now?"
