Chapter 340 Transported to the Unknown
"He\'ll be alright, won\'t he?" Maisa asked, tears about to fall.
"Of course he will!" Ariel exclaimed, though she couldn\'t help but worry.
They didn\'t fully understand the situation and couldn\'t talk about it with anyone. After all, what if it was something rare and beneficial? Discover stories with M V L
After discussing, they strategically decided not to tell anyone until they were sure it was necessary to help Amon. If it was something that could attract the attention of Star Rank beasts, it might be rare enough to make Amon a target.
So, for now, they could only wait...
"Amon?"
The girls said his name in unison.
The reason was that he withdrew some items from his storage ring. Among these items, the girls noticed that one of them bore the mark of Phoenix University, similar to their storage watches. Amon also withdrew two rings, possibly storage rings, which soon disintegrated in his hand.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, these items simply disintegrated in his hand, turning into particles of a kind of energy that was absorbed by his hand, which emitted a kind of green mist, similar to a cloud\'s substance, but slightly different, like a green toxic smoke.
And then, they saw Amon shine.
Even at this moment, Amon showed no sign of waking, doing all of this subconsciously. When he began to glow with a golden light, Barbara was the first to react, throwing herself towards him and hugging him.
"You\'re not escaping without me!"
Barbara\'s words echoed before she too started to shine in gold and disappeared from the spot along with Amon.
Meanwhile, Mabel and the other girls were in shock seeing the scene. The twins fell to their knees on the ground, while Ariel stood paralyzed, not knowing how to react to the situation.
Even Mabel was in shock. This didn\'t seem like Amon\'s lightning teleportation; though it glowed in gold, it seemed different...
\'Is it because of the seed?\' She presumed.
Being the one who managed to stay the most composed, Mabel took a deep breath, looked at the girls, and knew she needed to act and not let them fall into the abyss of despair.
"Girls." She clapped her hands, drawing everyone\'s attention. "I know you\'re worried and we decided not to talk to anyone about this for now, but... I think we now need to talk to someone more experienced. So, I propose we speak with my grandmother. She\'s someone I know we can trust. What do you think?"
Hearing Mabel say this, the girls\' eyes lit up.
"Yes, Mabel is right." Julia stood up and extended her hand to Maisa.
Standing up, Maisa looked at Mabel as if she were the only hope they had now.
Ariel also looked at her, coming out of her daze.

Barbara finds herself in a strange place. Even breathing is a bit difficult, but not impossible.
When she tries to look around, all she can see is Amon beside her, shining intensely in gold. However, the glow doesn\'t illuminate a large area, at most about three meters around him.
"Where are we?" she murmured.
Cautiously, she created a barrier in her hand in the shape of a sphere, the size of a soccer ball. Immediately afterward, she created flames inside the barrier.
The reason for doing it this way was because she was unfamiliar with the place they were in. What if there was a substance that reacted to her fire and burned the entire area?
When the flames she created illuminated the area like a torch, Barbara was able to get a better view and, to her total surprise, they were in a spherical place, like a giant ball.
When she walked a bit, she could already feel the curvature of the place. However, even when she thought she would be walking sideways, she felt as if she were walking on a flat surface. Within a few minutes, she made a complete circuit of the place and, to her total surprise, even when she was on the opposite side from Amon, she did not feel upside down.
"Does this place have gravity?" she presumed.
Back at Amon\'s side, she sighed deeply upon realizing he was still in a deep meditative state, showing no signs of waking up anytime soon.
After moving away from Amon again, she took out a bucket of water from her storage ring, which she kept for emergencies.
Immediately afterward, she undid the barrier she had created in her hand. When she did this and noticed that nothing caught fire, Barbara let out a sigh of relief.
"What exactly is this place?" Barbara murmured. "And where is this?"
Beyond the reach of the flames, everything was darkness. She tried to increase the amount of flames in her hand, but although the area brightened a little more, it was still far from enough.
Throughout the place, the ground was covered with green grass. The only things that differed were her and Amon. Other than that, everything seemed the same. If the place were a bit larger, she might even get lost for having nothing to orient herself by, as there was no sun, moon, or stars in the sky. Everything was total and complete darkness.
"What is beyond this darkness?" she murmured. "Are we somewhere in the universe, on some kind of tiny planet?"
Creating a small fireball with her other hand, she gave it some momentum and shot it towards the sky.
"Bang!"
The instant the small ball traveled a few meters in the sky, a little over 500 meters, it collided with some sort of invisible barrier.
Since Amon showed no signs of waking up anytime soon, Barbara circled the area, launching small fireballs towards the sky to confirm her suspicion.
Indeed, it was a sort of atmospheric barrier that followed the rounded shape of the small planet where she and Amon were. However, it was a bit different from usual, as it even prevented the flames from spreading out.
Suddenly, something emerged from the ground in a spiral shape that soon took the form of a tree. Then, one of the tree\'s branches extended towards Barbara, quickly enough that she didn\'t have time to react in time!
