Chapter 11

Mave ran through the woods like his life depended on it, without even allowing himself to catch his breath. The route led him to a park that branched off from the woods. He finally came to a stop at a park, the Ava district park.

““The portal should be somewhere here”” 

He heard the voice of the system in his head and he looked around frantically, hoping to find it just as the system had said. He was breathing heavily and was sweating, beads of sweat were dropping from his face, chest and back. It was very noticeable because he was Shirtless and wearing just a joggers, no footwear even.

“Found it” he said, as his eyes settled on a shimmering slit like white light. It was about 10ft high and as wide as a door entrance. It was shimmering almost like a mirage, the more he looked at it reflecting the rays of the sun.

Mave hesitated as a thought came across his mind as he looked around the place. ‘this should be the portal Jiren and his team had entered, but something is wrong. There’s no-one here and there’s no barricade here stopping anyone from entering. Before there were usually government officials and security personnels that man the place preventing people other than the right people for the job from entering. What’s going on? It’s almost like no-one knows that this portal existed.’

“system are you sure this is the right portal?”

“” Yes I am certain this is the portal anomaly. I still suggest you do not enter, I don’t think you are strong enough for a portal yet.”” The system said, trying to deter maverick from continuing.

“if there is the slightest possibility that my friends are In there, then I will have to go in. I agree with you though, if this is the portal anomaly in my first life, then I am not ready for it.” 

Maverick said, but then clenched his fist and approached the portal, he entered the portal and immediately it took him to another world.

The place was dark but mave could feel he was in somewhere like a cave. A felt a cold breeze against his shirtless body and he shivered slightly. This wasn’t the first time he had entered a portal but this was the first time he was entering in this his second life and the feeling still made him shiver. Shiver out of fear of the unknown since you could never really know what dangers lurked within the portal.

“So if I am correct the portal has led me to the other world. Where the monsters are coming from?”

“”You are correct. You are somewhere in the world that is currently trying to merge with your world. The portals are just gate ways that connects both worlds.””

Maverick nodded in understanding of what the system had said. In his last life he and everyone else had just assumed that the portals were were the homes of the monsters. Although there was unconfirmed theories that tallied with what the system had just said back then, but he didn’t pay attention to them because all he cared about was killing monsters and posing as a hero for everyone to revere. 

Maverick saw a light coming from far and he took courage and began heading towards it. 

**** 

The sound of electricity cackling can be heard continuously, accompanied by growls and strange noises of despair from the spider like monsters. 

The electricity travelled unnaturally through the walls and the ground on a guided path until it struck the monsters, electrifying and charring them to death.

The electricity came from Theon, who guided them as streaks of lightning with his sword to decimate the spiders in their numbers. The lightning was Theon’s talent as a B rank. He was able to expertly control the size, shape and intensity of the lightning, channelling it through his sword to deliver devastating attacks.

His eyes were glowing at streaks of electricity strayed from his body dangerously. He swiped his sword horizontally and it produced a lightning slash that traveled through the air, cutting through three spider monsters with ease. 

“Jiren you got this part, I’ll deal with the mother spider.” He said.

“Hell no! You take care of the small fries.”

Jiren yelled back as he leaped towards the direction of the biggest spider monster hanging upside down on the roof, it was already slowly approaching them.

Jiren stuck to the top of the cave upside down, when he made it to the top. He grinned in excitement as the spider monsters ran towards his location on behest of their mother spider. He slammed his palms on the ceiling and immediately activated his talent. And when he did so the ceiling froze, ice grew out from his palms and covered the ceiling in seconds freezing the spider monsters to death.

The mother spider growled as the ice got to its appendages but it easily broke off the ice with ease, revealing that it had superior strength compared to the others.  It opened its mouth and spewed a stream of acid to Jiren and the floor. Jiren moved out of the way, still hanging upside down on the ceiling and was surprised to see how the acid melted the ceiling and the ice he had place there before.

“Damn, other spiders spew webs but this spews acids, you’ve got to be kidding me.” Mave yelled as he continued to avoid the acid the spider kept spewing at him.

“I told you to stay back” Theon yelled as he threw several bolts of lightning to the boss spider, as he tried to assist Jiren.

“I can handle it” Jiren yelled back as he watched the spider easily swat off the bolts of lightning with one of its appendages covered in thick spider webs. Showing that it was somehow able to tell that it’s webs were good insulators against the lightning.

“then do so, we don’t have all day.” Theon said as he sprinted off to assist Sky Talia and Donre against the numbers of smaller spider monsters assaulting them.

“okay, okay.” Jiren said to Theon and then looked back at the spider with resolve, deciding to end it now..

“Now then mother spider, survive this.”

Jiren inhaled and exhaled cold air, before he extended his right hand at the spider and muttered “cold touch” as he activated an advanced technique of his ice talent. 

**Talent: Ice manipulation: cold touch**

Immediately a pulse travelled from Jiren’s fingers towards the spider monster and other small spiders near it. The pulse was like a wave that moved in the air and the moment it reached the spider monster, it began to freeze, not just freeze but petrify, everything in its body got frozen, flesh, water, hair, web etc. There was no exception and immediately it shattered into ice crystals. 

Jiren sighed and then exhaled again, feeling a little weak since the technique he just used required a lot of energy to perform. But it was very powerful and always gave him victory.

“I just bagged another win” he grinned and then leapt back down waiting for the others to finish up the smaller spiders. 

When they finished , Jiren went to the energy core of the portal and then crushed it.

“all done”

“now we have destroyed it, we have roughly an hour to leave before the portal closes finally. Let’s get moving” Theon said and everyone nodded and then followed Sky back out of the portal, through the direction they had followed when then entered.

**** 

Outside the portal Jiren’s team was greeted by the portal regulation team that had allowed them in earlier, they greeted and congratulating them on successful destroying the portal energy core that would undoubtedly close the portal in a few minutes.

“Good job again” the officer on site In charge of portal regulation congratulated them. They took few pictures for the media, since different media crews were present to document about the whole thing. 

In any portal siting, the portal regulation Team makes appearance first. They quarantine the area and move civilians away from the site since on most occasions monsters do cross over from the portals. They restrict access into the portals so not everyone goes in and endangers themselves, allowing access to only the qualified talented people to go in and close it.

“What’s the situation in there?” the portal regulation Team leader asked, wanting to take their official statements, so they can document what was inside the portal as it begins to close. 

“this portal had giant spider like monsters, all around and below C rank as opposed to the B rank grading the portal was given initially” Theon replied as the leader of the team.

“I see.” He said as he took down their statements. 

“any thing out of the ordinary In there?”

“no” Theon replied. 

Jiren sighed as he waited for them to finish their report

“this is my least favourite part of the job. Making the reports”

“hang in there, we’re almost done” Talia tapped his shoulder, reassuring him.

“yeah, I have no other ….” He was caught off when he noticed something about the portal.

“shouldn’t the portal be getting smaller now that we have destroyed the core, until it eventually closes up?” Jiren asked.

“yes, why?” Theon answered

“look, it’s been close to an hour now and it’s still not still getting smaller or closing”

“that’s not possible” Theon repeated. 

“Sir, we are detecting strange energy signatures” one of the officials ran over to the leader of the portal Regulation Team.

“what?”

At this point there were no more spiders coming out but everyone was still weary of it. The sounds of sirens broke his train of thoughts as he looked back to see what was happening. Five black jeeps rushed to the scene and just from the looks, he could tell they were all government vehicles with government officials, but the question now was which officials. He frowned just as he saw them pulling over on the scene, parking in different points in a pattern that will prevent another from coming in. The portal regulation Team leader was also relieved that someone else, possibly help had come, since it had been some minutes since he had requested help.. “must be the bureau” he said and he went towar

Everyone else looked at her as well, waiting for an answer. Her chest was heaving as she steadied her breath before she began talking. “that lower part of this portal that I could not access before, is now accessible.”“what? Explain better” Jiren said impatiently. “I mean that, there’s a whole new place underneath this place, it’s connected somehow and the entrance is at that place where we destroyed the energy core.” She explained. “Is that so?. Can you tell what is inside this new place from here?” Theon asked her. She shook her head. “Sadly I can’t. I’d have to get closer or possibly inside to be able to tell what’s inside the place cl

He had suffered another devastating attack from the three massive centipede monsters that had assaulted him while he was climbing. The attack had sent him right back to the bottom again. He struggled to one his eyes, but his left eye was already so bruised up and battered that it could not open. Several of his Bones had been broken and it was a miracle he was still alive. He looked at his stats and he saw how bad he was *Health: 09/100**Energy: 05/100*His health was so low because of the level of heavy attacks he had been receiving from the centipedes and his energy low because he had been using it consistently to heal himself and using his skills.He frowned as he watched the centipedes tower over him watching him intently trying to see if he was dead or not. They could see his life force so they knew he was not yet dead, and was ready to finish the

    Chapter 16. Maverick, having arrived at the top, saw that it was crawling with centipede monsters and spider monsters. He had raised an eyebrow at what was happening. “the centipedes are eating the spiders?” It was surprising for Maverick to see, the centipedes were hunting and feeding on the spiders and the spiders were fleeing with all their strength. "In my past life it wasn’t strange for stronger monsters to hunt and eat weaker monsters to level up, but it wasn’t like this. Not to mention that something seems weird here.’ Maverick thought as he kept his eyes trained on the scene before him. *Centipede monsters * C class, level 20+ He read their stats immediately seeing that as they hunted them the spiders their levels were increasing. He could see the energy core of the portal just at the centre of where the centipedes were hunting and he knew he had to destroy it. But before he could do that, he’d have to go through all the centipedes first. The centipedes noticed

The spiders were short range attackers, attacking with the sharp claws on their long legs and their sharp mandibles, clawing and biting were their attacks and it was powerful enough to rend flesh easily. They can spew webs from long distances, which can immobilise their targets for them to be able to attack them.Only the boss spiders can spew acid from longer range and have superior strength compared to the regular small spider monsters.. “Cold touch”Jiren whispered as he extended his arms forward to the troop of spiders coming his way, his talent activated and a wave was expelled speedily and from there anything it touched began to freeze up and crumble to pieces. The spider monsters unfortunate enough to be caught in the attack were destroyed but more took their place. “grrrhhh, I’m almost o

Dammit.” She said as she turned around again, irritated. “you know that worrying this much doesn’t get the job done right?” the portal regulation leader said and she glared at him“I don’t want to even hear it.” She said, While she was talking another vehicle came over and another A class talented came out coming to meet her. “I’m sorry I’m late, I was caught up In another portal” the tall slender man in an all black attire said with a small smile.“Your apologies mean nothing to me and can’t save us right now.

Give me your report.”“Yes ma’am, " the voice said from over the phone. This is a team sent out to investigate the area for any unlikely phenomenon and just one kilometre from the portal anomaly where you are standing we have discovered another portal whose energy signature matches the signature of the foreign energy we discovered from the portal in your location.” The person on the other end of the phone reported.“Is that so? So it’s just as I had hypothesised. These two portals were linked somehow and were able to sustain one another.” She replied.“Yes ma’am, our scientists have confirmed the same thing. ““has anyone

He wasn't even bothered that the energy beam was heading straight for him. But just about half a metre to his position, the beam collided with an invisible force that shielded Maverick from the beam. The collision of the beam with the force resulted in an explosion that enveloped the entire place, owing to its destructive nature.Seconds later and the explosion cleared and Maverick will be seen unscathed.

Maverick gritted his teeth seeing no hint of remorse in both men. At this point, he was certain that they no longer had any bit of humanity left in them."I promise you, I'll get you for this and I'll kill you." Maverick swore. "I doubt that. Supremus, I'm ready.

Alyssa added, struggling to get back up on her own as she was slowly recovering strength."I don't think we can take that robot on our own." one of the returnees lamented.

The punch sent them flying backwards since maverick used a lot of power for it. The third man realizing what was happening immediately aimed his gun at maverick and was about shooting him down but immediately the man was kicked in his face by the girl that had met Maverick before.

His exclamation and behaviour surprised everyone else in the room, since they were somehow confused as to what was happening."What's happening?" one of them finally asked, looking at everyone and at Maverick so that he could find an answer. There were several mumbles but at the end there was no response, obviously because none of them knew what was happening. Then all eyes turned to Maverick who was folded like a ball on the ground, lamenting. "um hello?

The energy cleared the already barren desert and blasted Maverick back into the city. Maverick felt his entire body burning as he was blasted by the
