But right now I have no mind nor time to do this! I only summoned one shield, scattered lots of bones into it, went towards that grand portal and stored that location in my staff.

That portal was gigantic! It expanded to cover a distance of a mile alone, with a height of half a mile at least! It looked like a mountain, standing all alone here, covered with that annoying reddish layer.

I couldn’t tell how the enemy managed to coat the entire portal with that shield. But after circling around it for a few times, I got to see no hole or point of weakness there whatsoever.

They covered it perfectly, leaving not a single gap behind for me to use. All I could do now was to try and bring this shield down using brute force.

“Tsk! Last time I struggled a lot to bring enough damage to this kind of shield… And it was just covering much smaller portals than this behemoth here…”

I started to feel like the bad luck of that jumper got to me somehow! Or else how could I face such weird situations ever since I went to the jumper world to help.

Wait a minute… Don’t tell me this bad luck was something unique for the jumpers? That couldn’t be, right? After all, they lived a perfect life before my arrival!

I knew things didn’t look that great, but that didn’t mean I was out of options here.

“Time to use the pillar’s new abilities then,” I took out my pillar, and used the normal shields like before.

However this time, I intended to use the new ability of the shields. I was going to use the shield’s ability to attack things inside and not outside.

If I used the same way to take down this shield, then I’d not only endanger my forces scattered outside, but also would waste tons of precarious time.

I’d fall in their trap if I took much time to take down this shield. And so the only option I got was to use the ability of the shield to attack things inside.

As for the damage stored into it, I didn’t need to waste time at time in stacking such a thing. I’d simply use my bones, add enough energy to the shields, before releasing a mighty and devastating attack.

But before doing any of that, I first started to store many locations around this portal.

The first option I got was to use my bones and augment the attack inside the shields. If that failed, then I’d simply switch and detonate my dark realm bones.

In both cases, I’d go blind and would be unable to see anything. My only option to check if there were any gaps or not would be through jumping inside.

Considering the colossal body of the portal, it was hard to determine where the gaps in the enemy shield would be. So I stored lots of places around, before getting out and started to take lots of my bones.

I scattered the bones around, before absorbing and relaying their energy over to the shields I created. The shields supported each other, and grew to extend enough to cover up the gigantic portal.

The energy I gushed out got absorbed and stored inside the shields. I didn’t hurry to execute my attack, and started first by using normal bones.

I didn’t want to suffer a lot in this, as I knew I’d take lots of bones to take this shield down.

I kept absorbing and sending energy towards the pillar, and it stored it inside the shields. It seemed after getting evolved the ability of the shields to absorb my bone energy grew up as well.

The number of bones required before to make the shields get filled with energy didn’t satisfy the needs of the shields this time. I started to increase the number of bones and in return the amount of energy stored inside the shields grew up to a terrifying level.

I kept doing this for almost half an hour before the shields started to emit bright lights. It was the signal that the shields got enough from the energy I released, and it was time to start the attack.

However I didn’t. I kept storing up more energy for another half an hour, before finally releasing the trapped beast.

The energy stored inside was enough to take down anything, burn the entire world into shreds, and the light coming from inside was enough to blind my eyes and anyone’s eyes for tens of miles around.

Yet even with doing so, I didn’t stop releasing bones, absorbing the energy, and relaying it towards the shields. The attack kept brimming inside, releasing such frightening light that kept me blind.

“Time to check over things inside,” after one more hour, I prepared to move in.

The new upgrade of my pillar allowed me to control the amount of damage released and limit the attack over the enemies, saving my forces from suffering any damage.

However I still didn’t trust this and relied mainly on my chariot. But when I went inside, I truly experienced what it was like to be guarded from the attack.

“Impressive!” The instant I got inside, a bubble surrounded me and separated me from the outside. The world outside my chariot was covered in two layers of shields, enough to protect me from any harm.

“It’s close…” Seeing the effectiveness of my pillar, I decided to not leave and kept staying in my place. I filled the chariot with bones, replacing the normal ones with dark realm ones to make up for the difference in energy between the two.

The shield in front of me was covered in cracks, deep and long cracks that extended beyond my sight.
