Chapter 276: Turning point (7!!!)

[Stable Gate is now Active]

[Stable Gate charge: 3 days left]

The purple swirls of the portal that formerly occupied the entirety of the new, massive gate have pulled to the frame's edges, bending the fabric of the space itself to reveal the familiar world on the other side.

But I did it!

Sure, only with Fay's help in reining that mysterious aura in… But I simply couldn't care less. Or rather, thinking about it, I felt overjoyed over how our bond could help us overcome even such great odds. 

'Power of friendship, huh?' I couldn't help but note, the corners of my mouth twitching as I raised my eyes.
