But now Herag doesn't have much time to slowly unravel it, it's already too late.

This small rift is akin to a wound on human skin; if left alone, it will naturally heal slowly.

This witch array is similar to a virus in the body that hinders the wound from healing.

And the force on the other side of the rift is like someone pulling the wound open.

Even if Herag can destroy the witch array, he's only solving the internal factors.

He has no way to address the problems from the Abyss Plane.

Originally, with the World Will's power, it was hard to tear open this gap, but this time the witch array on our side helped, making it slightly easier to tear open.

Herag sensed that the aura coming from that side was extremely powerful, unaware of what kind of existence it was.

If this thing really comes here, it would be a disaster.

As it is, this small rift is certainly not enough to support such a powerful presence descending, and the other party wouldn't dare force their way in.

For an existence of this level to descend, it can only be done through a developed plane passageway, similar to how the Wizard Plane invades the Elf Plane.

After establishing a stable plane passageway, entering another plane wouldn't cause them to be oppressed to death by its World Will.

Although the current small rift is still expanding, it's clearly not enough to become a plane passage, and strong entities certainly can't pass through.

Herag was relieved that he absorbed most of the life energy, preventing the witch array from fully activating.

Otherwise, if a plane passageway were to really be established here, the entire Land of Dawn would be in trouble.

Just thinking about it made Herag feel scared; here he is just a regular Level 1 Crystalization Wizard, without the same power he had on the Abyss Plane.

If some powerful entity were to come out, he would have no chance of winning.

Unless he escaped in reverse, directly through the passage to the Abyss Plane, and activate the bloodline mark, he might have some ability to protect himself.

The premise is not to die on the way through the passage.

Herag looked at the slowly expanding small rift, pulled out the World Tree Bow, and shot an arrow at the rift.

The arrow flew out and instantly disappeared, then was gone.

Herag knew this arrow had probably flown straight to the Abyss Plane through the small rift.

After shooting the arrow, he put away the World Tree Bow, grabbed David, and turned to run.

Now the rift has just appeared, not enough for those demons to pass through, except for some extremely weak little demons.

But as the rift continues to grow, stronger demons will definitely appear.

Herag is unable to prevent the rift from expanding, the only thing he can do is run quickly, return to Crystal City, and immediately notify Serlandir about the situation here.

Matters of this magnitude must be reported up, as they concern the safety of the entire Land of Dawn.

Herag sensed the location of the stars, identified the direction, and then sped towards Crystal City.

He felt the Abyssal Aura behind him growing stronger, prompting him to quicken his pace.

Herag came here by scent, as the old man had a strong Abyss Plane aura on him.

This aura was very noticeable in the pollution area because, although there were also Abyss Plane demons there, the aura of those demons was somewhat different.

These demons had been breeding in the pollution area for so many years that their aura had already changed somewhat.

So when Herag sensed this purely Abyss Plane aura, he followed the direction of the aura.

When he arrived, he saw the scene that just occurred.

If he had come a bit later, David would surely have died, and a plane passage would have appeared.

If it weren't for the fact that talisman stones couldn't be used in the polluted area, Herag would have already notified Serlandir by now.

A rift in the plane is something that must be addressed quickly; if delayed, it might be too late.

"Have you advanced to crystalization?" David asked after sensing the magic energy on Herag.

Herag nodded: "Just advanced not long ago."

David sighed: "You're really impressive, there are very few talents like you in the Land of Dawn."

"Genius or whatever doesn't matter; what counts is how far you can go, the road is long."

Herag has seen many powerful beings, knowing how weak he is, he would never be arrogant or self-satisfied.

The title of genius is of no use; every wizard counts as a genius of some sort.

Herag carried David, and the two chatted idly while hurrying on their journey, getting a rough understanding of David's situation over the past few years.

David had traveled to many places with the East Source Commerce Association's caravan, becoming familiar with several business procedures.

Due to his honest and diligent work ethic, David was quite appreciated by the management of the East Source Commerce Association.

This was partly due to David's background; he was introduced through Pries, and the East Source Commerce Association would give some face for that.

Herag had wandered the pollution area for two days before finding David.

Returning is expected to take about a day, even faster at full speed.

But now Herag is not alone; he's carrying David.

David is injured and needs to stop occasionally to rest; otherwise, traveling continuously would worsen the injury.

David insisted that Herag not worry about him, but Herag still occasionally stopped, allowing for some rest time.

By around noon the next day, Herag finally saw the silhouette of Crystal City.

Due to his Titan Power form, Herag appeared as a small giant.

A giant clad in dark gold armor, holding someone, approached the gates of Crystal City, naturally attracting attention instantly.

"Who goes there!" On top of the high wall above the gate, a few wizards in robes watched Herag and David warily and called out.

The magic power surged on their bodies, clearly prepared to act at any moment.

Herag didn't continue moving forward, wary of provoking an attack from the guards.

In public, he didn't want to shed his Titan Power form, especially with two ladies above watching.

Herag produced a talisman stone and said, "I am Herag, an official member of Serlandir, this is my talisman stone."

Those on the high wall were skeptical and looked at Herag, then took out a talisman stone to check something.

The leader was a red-haired female witch, the Head of Security at Crystal City, who indeed found a person named Herag in the talisman stone.

After some thought, she led the three individuals behind her down the wall, walking towards Herag.

Herag placed David lightly on the ground and then said, "This is my talisman stone, and this is my attendant David. He fled into the pollution area after an airship crash a while ago, and I specifically went to rescue him this time."
