Young Aether was surprised when he heard that the portal that had brought them here was about to close.
"Hell's Gate? What's that?"
Jonathan looked at him with a puzzled expression, his eyebrows knitting together in confusion.
"What? You don't know about Hell's Gate?"
Young Aether shook his head.
"Did you forget what I told you a few minutes ago? I was reborn in a completely different Empire."
"Oh... right."
Only then did Jonathan fully process those words. However, a frown quickly formed on his face as another question surfaced.
"Wait a minute... if that's true, then how did you even end up here?"
THUDDD!
The entire mountain trembled beneath their feet, making both of them flinch and focus on the matter first.
Both of them immediately abandoned the conversation and focused on the far more urgent problem.
They had countless questions for each other, but none of them mattered right now. If the portal closed before they escaped, they were as good as dead.
THUDDD!
