Millennium Tension

"Let's see, what's beyond that gate."

After the six girls had been teleported, Aizen drew closer to the gate, which still exuded that oppressive aura. Axel, Ana, and seven servants followed toward the gate.

Without needing to do anything else, the engravings embedded in the gate lit up and a stream of energy spread throughout the gate.

*Grrrr*

The majestic gate slowly opened on its own, producing a rough scraping sound until it opened completely.

Not a passage that might wait for them and not any other great hall, behind the gate was an invisible energy portal that might teleport them to an unknown place.

"We will be teleported somewhere if we pass through this gate." Aizen placed his hand on his chin as he scrutinized the portal.

"What shall we do, Brother Aizen? Send a unit to test it?" Ana is standing beside Aizen while she is checking the portal with the other girls.

"We'll send a surveillance unit to check it out. Ana, can you do that?" Aizen smiled at Ana, he no longer focused on the portal gate in front of him.

"Leave it to me!" Ana cheerfully took out a reconnaissance unit from the [Space Storeage] then gave the order to the unit to check what was behind the teleportation portal.

*buzz*

The flying reconnaissance unit hovered then entered the portal without any obstruction and disappeared from view. Unfortunately, not only did that unit disappear from their sight, but even the unit's signal also disappeared from the [Axel Goddess] system without a trace however it didn't signify destruction just as if the unit was forced to disconnect it from the main server system.

"Our connection to the unit has been cut off..." Ana muttered somewhat helplessly. She wanted to act helpful and receive compliments later like she always enjoyed, but the teleportation portal didn't seem to allow it.

"There's a strong interference there, but that's not a bad sign. We can get through that teleportation portal just fine." Axel brought up her conclusion.

Aizen nodded slightly in response before walking through the teleportation portal without worry or hesitation and the eight other girls also followed him from behind in silence.

*buzz* *buzz*

One by one, they passed through the teleportation portal, before them was a hall that was more magnificent than the previous hall. Unique carvings of golden color adorn all the black walls throughout the grand hall.

On the floor of the hall was carved a large rune that was so intricate and elusive while the ceiling was embedded with large crystals that shone to illuminate the majestic hall just like the lighting used in many places before.

Aizen looked sideways and saw the reconnaissance unit Ana had just dispatched lying on the floor in off mode. He grabbed that unit then put it on stand-by mode and let it float in the air. As soon as Aizen let go of the unit, the unit fell back but was still in standby mode.

"Oh?" Aizen frowned at it and grabbed the unit to put it back into [Space Storage]. It was easy for him to know what was happening at this moment, this majestic hall that was patterned in black and gold had the same deterrence as in the lake.

"We were pulled to the ground and couldn't fly? Seriously? Like before in the lake?" Ana was annoyed by this. The two things that were confirmed and did not bode well were flight prevention and the great hall, something big would definitely appear with just this.

"There aren't any gates here or anything, it's just a dead wall." Axel and the seven servants observed the various corners of the great hall which they had just entered after passing through the teleportation portal gate.

*Bang!*

A loud thud came from behind them and echoed through the majestic hall. The teleportation portal gate that had been right behind them had disappeared without a trace and there was only a black gold wall like the rest of the hall.

"Now we've locked up again with no way out? If we do an emergency teleport from here, can we still do it?" Aizen turned his head to Axel.

"Wait a moment... The interference and deterrence here are so strong, teleportation is not recommended but we can return to the previous hall with our teleportation technique."

Axel processed the information quickly and came out with a concrete conclusion. After accounting for all causes and effects, teleporting is highly discouraged.

"That's enough for us, at least we have an emergency exit. I think this hall is where the final boss in this ancient ruins resides. We don't know where we are right now, and most of the system's functions have been prevented by something strong."

Aizen sighed somewhat irritatedly, at this point even the scanning system was unable to check what was behind the walls of this majestic hall.

Right after Aizen finished his sentence, before the girls even conveyed what they wanted to convey, the elaborate runes carved on the floor of the hall lit up brightly.

Unfortunately, that did not bode well for them, it was the same as in some of the halls they had passed before.

The flaming runes were arranged and concentrated towards the center of the hall. Gradually an enormous white figure appeared from there.

"Well, this is the final boss we need to fight this time..." Somehow Ana was tired.

The white and scaly monster that was like an earthen dragon with many heads and many tails finally brought forth its full form from within the runes. The appearance of the final boss they were about to fight was surprising when they scanned the white dragon with their system.

"Roar!" The white dragon roared loudly with its twelve heads while flailing its twelve tails to the ground, its twelve pairs of blue eyes locked onto ten small creatures with strange equipment in front of it.

There was no need to wait for the little creatures to attack, the twelve white dragon heads immediately filled the energy in their mouths and shot out high destructive heat energy straight away without further ado as the twelve dragon heads opened their jaws.

"Evade! Our enemy is at the peak of [Rank 10]!" Aizen shouted loudly as he pulled and hugged Ana beside him who seemed surprised to see their current opponent.

Axel and the seven servants immediately dodged in time, they scattered and continued to dodge the devastating energy shot that was chasing them.

*Swiish!* *Swiish!*

The destructive energy did not produce an explosion upon impact with the ground and walls but rather tore neatly and deeply due to the immense destructive force emitted from the attack.

The white dragon did not stop there and continued a similar attack towards the small creature that continued to avoid its attacks.

Their enemy this time had immediately risen to the hardest level, the white dragon was even stronger than Axel in the whole rank!

"Master Aizen, I suggest sending the entire [Destruction Unit] against this white dragon! At this rate, we will fall!" Axel spoke urgently as she was dodging the attacks from the white dragon.

She was well aware of their current predicament. It's hard for her to win with her strength at [Rank 9] and she doesn't want anyone to get hurt or fall.

She did not propose to run away or make Aizen and Ana return to the [Axel Goddess] to take cover from the current enemy to allow herself and the seven servants to fight even though she desperately wanted to do so to make sure the two of them were safe.

Fortunately, she immediately buried that intention because she knew indirectly it would look down on them no matter the reason.
