Mana Core

Ning appeared before Derel from a portal. Derel turned her yellow eyes to him and smiled as she said, "Is it getting hard for you?" 

"It's getting troublesome," Ning said. 

"So you need me to go back?" Derel asked.

"Yes. The monsters are getting stronger and I don't want any mishap to happen while you are away," Ning said. "If a monster somehow happens to get by me, or if a single attacks goes past me, we could lose with that."

Derel gave a serious look. "I see. That stone monster was quite hard to beat before this," she said.

"Yes, let's go," Ning said and opened the portal. 

"You can just fly instead of opening portals all the time, you know," Derel said as she walked through it.

"Yeah, well this is easier," Ning said and walked through it as well.

When the 2 of them arrived back at the tower, Derel looked around as the messy ground and the serious Issi.
