Second World

Chapter 1115 1115. Closing The Demonic Portal

Jack and Diana went directly to the underground ruin under Malva's private warehouse. When Severus saw Jack again, he was surprised but not as unpleasant as the first time they met.

"Good Severus, I'm here to finally relieve you from this never-ending task," Jack announced.

"No, seriously. I'm here to take back the Boundless Cache for the kingdom."

Severus stopped when Jack showed him the Portal-closing Stone. His eyes were wide.

"Hehe. I got it from the underworld, of course," Jack answered with a grin.

"There is no time to waste. Severus, open the dome! It's time we shut this portal for good!" Jack exclaimed.

Although Severus found it hard to believe, he couldn't deny the stone in Jack's hand was authentic.

"We still need to prepare in case there are strong demons behind the dome," Severus said.

Severus informed the mages around the dome to be ready for combat. This time, they won't only open a small gap in the dome. They would open the entire dome, so there was no need to limit the combatant.

"Is everyone ready?" Severus asked.

Severus did as Jack instructed. He and the other mages then retreated to behind the soldiers, ready to cast their spells. The dome, after losing its power supply, started dissolving. It started from the top and slowly diffused downward.

"Stay alert!" Dimitri warned. He was with Jack when they first entered the dome, so he was aware.

The second Thenodeep's great flood hit, the demons around the portal turned visible. The soldiers were surprised by the reveal.

As everyone attacked, a roar was heard and a winged demon jumped out from the horde. It had a long neck and a serpent head. It was a level 60 mythical-grade demon.

Duke Alfredo then cast Pyramid Prison and locked the serpent-head demon in place. Arlcard and Therras joined forces and entered the prison. They bullied the trapped mythical demon while the others wiped out the demons outside with incredible efficiency.

His royal agents followed him and helped him open the way. Diana, upon seeing Jack rushing forward, also ordered the platoon to press forward.

The stone shone a bright red before bursting apart into countless red stars. These red stars then rushed into the portal. A soft red glow enveloped the portal. With each star entering the portal, this red glow intensified and slowly shrunk the portal.

Jack felt a powerful throb from the portal before it completely vanished. He then sensed it no more. The demonic portal was finally gone.

"Wow! Even though I don't have a quest for closing this portal, I still got rewards from the system," Jack remarked.

The exp point leveled up his Time Sage to level 67. The number of gold coins and mana cores generated was also generous, but what excited him the most was the merit points. It was more than double what he got from perfectly solving an affair.

They finished the few remaining demons. The mythical serpent-head demon dropped a few things. Jack didn't use his Runestone of Luck when Arlcard finished the demon because he was still absorbed by the notification at the time.

Jack used the super rare amethyst on his runestone of luck and the unique emerald on his runestone of marching. Unfortunately, the elemental energy was not enough to upgrade the two runestones. Both runestones were still far from upgrading.
