In the blink of an eye, a giant city gate appeared before everyone.
The area was covered with ashes and ice shards, filled with the scent of blood and the strong odor of demon beasts; clearly, Leo Ray and his companions had experienced a fierce battle here not long ago.
Rewind to some time earlier, when Leo Ray and his companions first arrived; the giant city gate had been concealed by an illusion technique.
Fortunately, Little Illusion was always by Leo Ray's side and managed to break the hidden illusion, revealing the gate to everyone.
"Though I can open this gate, given what happened earlier, I ask everyone to proceed with caution."
Lorenz nodded at the group and quickly approached the giant gate.
The old bishop took a deep breath, channeling a divine, warm energy wave that radiated from his frail body.
The dazzling golden light enveloped the gate entirely, and the tightly closed gate slowly began to open.
