Gathering (2)

After these rods came out of the ground, chains that were made of light were revealed.

These chains were connected to the rods and in the center of the chains was a much larger chain that had completely surrounded the tree.

With a roar from the experts, they suddenly raised their life energy again.

In response to this, the chains that had surrounded the rods in the ground suddenly started to dissipate before completely disappearing.

From the rod, the chain that was connected to the tree dissipated until the chain around the tree was completely gone.

Once the chain around the tree disappeared, there was a glow that appeared in the center of the tree. This glow wasn't that strong, but it slowly spread across the trunk of the tree until it formed a circle of light that had a fainter hue of light rippling in the center.

No matter how one looked at it, this seemed to be a portal.
