The Portal

Selma Payne's POV:

I stopped the purification and immediately gathered the rest of the small teams and ordered them to retreat.

"The evil power here seems to be endless. No matter if there are other sources of contamination or whatever the situation is, there is no point in staying here. Let's retreat out of the city first."

We rushed to the nearest city gate, but a strange situation happened again: After we stepped out of the city gate, what appeared in front of us was not a dense natural forest but the central square that we had just left not long ago.

The fountain in the square was still flowing.

This time, everyone's expression changed.

"Check all communication equipment," I ordered. 'Is the signal to the outside world still clear?"

"The signal is full. Communication is normal," the team members said. "No interception detected."

"Are you still in contact with the elven capital?" I asked Kaya.
