45 Chapter 45

Inside Axel's world, the three tribes were working as hard as possible to prepare for what was about to happen.

A few days ago, Heaven's voice suddenly gave a message to all the people in the world.

"In a few days, a portal would be opened on the sacred archway, which would lead to a new and strange world filled with danger. Before this happens, each tribe should send their two best fighters, so the six of them could team up to explore this new world and find a way to close the portal."

As it is obvious, the three tribes' response was immediate, and they began to select their most capable individuals to be sent to the archway.

Not only that, but as soon as it was decided who would participate in this mission, the three tribes began to cooperate by giving them the best equipment possible and helping them by perfecting their skills with new techniques.

In just a few days, humanity created its dream team.

From Esvert Village, the two chosen were both headmasters of their respective academies.

On one hand, there was Denise, from the Ventar Academy. Not only was she young and capable, but she was also the granddaughter of Agathe, the discoverer of elemental energy. She had a cheerful character and always tried to see the good side of things, which made her pupils love her as a headmaster, as she would always encourage them to continue, even if they failed. She specialized in spells that used air energy, with which she was capable of creating a fast and almost invisible offensive, making it very difficult to evade her attacks.

On the other hand, there was Arthur, from the Lumite Academy. He looked exactly like a magician would be described in books, with a great white beard growing on his face. He was a firm believer that base energy was not only equal to elemental energy but was also superior as, if used correctly, it could create a much larger number of effects. This kind of thought made him clash directly with Denise's ideas, so they didn't get along very well, but because this was a quest from Heaven's Will itself, he decided to leave their difference behind and cooperate with her.

From the Yuoko Village, the two chosen were both important figures, each of them being the head of their respective families.

One of them was Cyrus, head of the Bluestar family, who were descendants of the creator of the cultivation of their village, the great Uno. Cyrus had trained on the path of the sword all his life with great discipline, and thanks to a pair of special swords that he received a few days ago as a gift from the Esvert Village, he had obtained one of the greatest offensives in the whole world, capable of cutting in half anything without great difficulty.

The other Yuoko cultivator was Edwin, head of the Cloakwolf family. His family has always been a great ally and supporter of the Bluestar family, so he and Cyrus have grown up as brothers since they were little. He had trained with the spear all his life, as all the cultivators from generations ago did, and thanks again to the Esvert cultivators who had gifted him a new special spear, he had become a pretty capable fighter too. It could be said that even though he and Cyrus had a lot in common, they were also the two sides of the same coin, as Cyrus was very serious and strict with his training, and Edwin was much more easygoing and cheerful, even if that made him a bit weaker than Cyrus.

Last but not less important, are the representatives from the Guburg Village, who both came from the same family, and even more, they were father and daughter.

Gar was the leader of the Guburg Village. He was an enormous muscle mass, with both arms and torso totally covered with tattoos. He was a total supporter of the idea that the strong should rule over the weak, and he had managed to stick to that idea by foiling various coups that some cultivators tried to create in his village just by himself. Even though this might seem strange, he was the one who most encouraged people to try and overthrow him, because, as he said, "if someone in this village is strong enough to beat me, and has yet to do it, it means that strength is not linked to intelligence."

The last participant in this team was Raziel, who was Gar's daughter. She had grown up as his father's right hand, always making sure to assist him in everything that she could. Even though she was very tall, she wasn't as muscular as her father. Instead, she had thinner and lighter muscles, which made her capable of moving at a much higher speed than her father, even if it meant losing some strength. Among the Guburg cultivators, she was the one who most people thought would become the next leader. Also, similar to his father, she had her arms tattoed.

Just a few moments before the portal opened on the archway, the six of them met in front of it.
