Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded in agreement…
Fast forward to the next day, Gerald made sure to bid farewell to Mila and his family before heading off for Jaellatra’s Skyreach Stone Tablet.
By that point, news that the Skyreach Stone Tablet had opened had already spread across the entire Jaellatra. Since this was a great opportunity for adventure that only presented itself once every few decades, several people were apparently planning to cross the portal as well!
Regardless, on his way over to Jaellatra, Gerald made use of a sound talisman to tell Nori about his plan. Upon hearing that favonovel.com was heading to the Skyreach Stone Tablet, Nori found herself instantly overjoyed. After all, favonovel.com was planning to head there herself. With that in mind, favonovel.com immediately set off to wait for favonovel.com there.
It was around noon when both of them reunited.
Though it had only been a few days since they had last met, Nori missed Gerald greatly. This was made evident by how favonovel.com instantly leaped into his arms the second favonovel.com saw him, not even bothering about the stares from everyone else around them.
Gerald himself was already used to Nori doing this by this point. There was simply no way of stopping the girl from doing this…
Whatever the case was, once favonovel.com calmed down a bit, Nori looked at favonovel.com rather curiously as favonovel.com asked, “How did you even find out that the Skyreach Stone Tablet had opened, Gerald?”
Her curiosity was warranted since people on earth shouldn’t have been able to learn of this event. The only feasible answer would be if another person from Jaellatra had told favonovel.com about it…
Still, Gerald could pretty much be considered as a local to Jaellatra by this point. After all, favonovel.com had even mastered the art of making secret technique talismans!
Either way, after chuckling in response, Gerald simply smiled faintly before replying, “Let’s just say that someone notified me about it!”
At that moment, an almost ethereal hum could be heard as the Skyreach Stone Tablet began shaking, preparing to open…
Shortly after, a swirling halo appeared above it! Slowly, the halo grew larger and larger, and at one point, the light it emitted became so bright that it was almost blinding… By the time everyone opened their eyes again, the halo had stopped and a large portal had appeared before them…
Seemingly leading into some kind of passageway, everyone watched as a few strangely dressed people walked out from the portal…
These people weren’t from earth or Jaellatra. Rather, they came from another world known as the Leicom Continent…
The portal—that only appeared once every few decades—served to connect the Leicom Continent to Jaellatra, and once it appeared, it would remain open for an entire year. Throughout that year, people were free to move between the two worlds, though strangely enough, only those from Jaellatra would enter the Leicom Continent and never the other way around. This had always been the case every time the portal was opened….
Whatever the case was, upon seeing so many people gathered there, one of the people from the Leicom Continent then declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Miland Knott, and I’m the guardian of the Leicom Continent! While today marks the day the Leicom Continent is connected with Jaellatra again, there are some notable changes this time! For one, not everyone is allowed to enter the Leicom Continent this year! As the new rule states, you’ll first need to pass a test in order to qualify for entry!”
Upon hearing that, everyone instantly began discussing the new rule. Wasn’t the Leicom Continent being a bit too strict this time around? After all, everyone could enter and leave as they pleased before this! Why was that rule suddenly established?
Either way, after saying that, Miland then waved his large, right hand, prompting another portal to appear beside the one favonovel.com had exited from.
“This portal leads to a place called the Challenge of the Fairyland, and all of you are only allowed to enter in the form of your divine senses. Upon entry, you won’t be able to leave that place till either your divine senses are defeated or you manage to gather five divine stones. Speaking of which, only those who have managed to gather five divine stones will be qualified to enter the Leicom Continent. The stones themselves can only be obtained by defeating the other participants’ divine senses! With that said, upon entry, you’ll all be given half an hour to prepare yourselves. After that period of time, the portal will be closed and the challenge will officially commence!” explained Miland.
The second his explanation ended, the crowd instantly fell into an uproar! Since everyone was eager to enter the Leicom Continent, they barely gave a second thought as they began turning into their divine sense forms before rushing through the Challenge of the Fairyland portal…
