Boom! The earth trembled.
"An earthquake?" Negris exclaimed in surprise.
Suddenly, a loud commotion came from outside. Everyone rushed out to see a beam of light piercing down straight from the sky and landing in the World Tree forest just outside the Demon Valley.
The expressions of Anthony and Negris changed drastically. Anthony said anxiously, "This is not good. The Gods of Light have not disappeared. This is the Stairway to Heaven. They are using me as a beacon to teleport here. Quickly, destroy my body!"
Negris shook his head, "It's too late."
The Stairway to Heaven was the name of that beam of light. It was a special type of teleportation method that pierces through two dimensional planes and could continuously teleport large amounts of troops. It was the Holy Kingdom's bridge to conquer other worlds.
