Upon hearing what Erend said, Aurdis and Saeldir exchanged glances. Their expressions were between shock and astonishment.
"He's right. Our world is indeed very expansive. Maybe even two to three times the size of this world." Saeldir seemed to confirm Erend's words.
"I know about that. But... how did Erend come and go to our world in the first place?" Aurdis asked.
That is indeed a big question for them. Erend just needed to enter the portal to go to their world. The portal also opens easily as if Erend just walked into a house door.
Even though they, the Elves, needed several hundred years of research time to be able to find the secret of opening a path to another world.
Aurdis and Saeldir turned their necks slowly to look at Erend. Their gaze only said one thing, which is questioning.
Being looked at like that made Erend a little nervous. But all he could do was exhale and shrug.
"Don't look at me like that. Even though I want to answer your questions, I can't say anything. Because I really don't know anything," Erend said with a helpless expression.
"So basically... the source of your power is what allows you to do all that. But you don't know how your power works," Saeldir replied.
"Yeah, that's how it is." Erend once again just said while shrugging his shoulders. Indicating that he didn't really understand, as Saeldir said.
For a few moments, Aurdis and Saeldir just stared at the void in front of them without really looking at anything.
And they didn't say anything during that time. So Erend just waited in silence.
It was only about a minute later that Aurdis spoke. "Well, I guess there's no use thinking about that. For now."
She looked at Saeldir. Saeldir seems still not willing to let go of his thought process. But because he really didn't have anything to continue with it, he sighed in resignation.
"You're right," Saeldir looked resigned. After all, he saw the bottomless abyss of Erend which was the embodiment of his power.
He could have looked deeper into Erend's soul to see the true nature of his powers. But that seemed too frightening for Saeldir. He didn't want to look again at the abyss that seemed like it could swallow him at any moment.
Seeing that the two of them had let go of the matter, Erend smiled. "Later if I have some kind of idea about my power, I will let you guys know."
Aurdis just looked at him with a smile while Saeldir just stared at him flatly. Not sure when he will get information about Erend's power, or whether he will ever get it.
After that, they just waited until Billy, Adrien, and Arty woke up from their meditation process. Erend noticed that sweat was starting to appear on the bodies of the three of them.
At first, he didn't think it was anything serious. However, a few minutes later the sweat that came out of their bodies was so much that it looked unnatural.
"Are they all right?" Erend asked in a worried tone.
"Yes. Don't worry. Now their bodies are going through a cleansing process so that the flow of Magic in their bodies becomes smoother," Aurdis answered his question in a calm tone.
Hearing her calm tone, Erend breathed a sigh of relief because it meant that they were indeed fine. He glanced at the three of them who were closing their eyes with a calm face.
He sighed with a worried face. "What will happen in the future after this?"
Aurdis glanced at Erend giving him a sad-looking face. "Next, what will happen is the awakening of the monsters."
Hearing Aurdis' answer, Erend immediately turned his head. He stared at Aurdis with eyes full of fear.
"Monsters?"
"Yes." This time it was Saeldir who answered him. "Creatures in this world will also evolve as Magic power begins to flow in their bodies. I told you already, right?"
Saeldir had indeed said that to all of them from the start. But as soon as he remembered it again, Erend couldn't help but felt anxious.
"Right. Then, now is the time for us to get ready," Erend said.
"I'm really sorry," Aurdis suddenly said in a regretful tone. "I want to help out even more. But we can't do anything more than this."
"No no. It's okay. Everything you have done is more than enough," Erend replied with a smile.
Erend sincerely thanked both of them because it was true. Aurdis and Saeldir had helped them by showing them how to train the Magic within the bodies of the three of them.
If it wasn't for the two of them, then Erend, who knew nothing about how the Magic inside him worked, could only watch helplessly as Arty, Billy, and Adrien were hit by the madness effects of their Magic awakening.
Time passed, and Aurdis, Erend, and Saeldir talked about small things before suddenly Saeldir turned to the three people who were meditating.
"What's wrong?" Erend who noticed the change asked.
"It's beginning," said Saeldir. Then looked at Aurdis and nodded. Aurdis also nodded in return as a sign that she understood.
The two of them immediately moved closer to Billy, Arty, and Adrien.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Erend asked again because he didn't get an answer.
"In a moment, they will secrete a dirty substance that blocks the flow of Mana in their bodies," Aurdis replied. "They'll be fine now that we're here. You don't need to worry."
Hearing that explanation, Erend heaved a sigh of relief. He walked after them until he was close to Arty, Billy, and Adrien.
When he was near them, Erend smelled a very disgusting smell.
"What the fuck is this?!" Erend immediately reflexively covered his nose and winced because of the smell.
"It's the smell of substance blocking their Magic flow. I didn't expect it to be this bad!" Even Aurdis covered her nose and stepped back reflexively.
Saeldir also retreated. It seemed that no one could endure this disgusting smell at close range, not even the two of them.
"This is the first time we've done this in a long time. Elves are instantly born with bodies that can receive the flow of Magic smoothly. So we don't do it this way anymore," Aurdis said as he covered her nose.
