Timothy couldn't ighe sensation he was feeling, he couldn’t turn a blio it. He felt capable of summoning a portal that would lead him to the needle universe of Purpureus Mundi, and moments ter, he decided that this was exactly what he wao do!

  Arvena was close to him, slig through the boar meat, so he had to step away from her, for the sake of not promising their meat supply with a random portal. It was best to be safe.

  “Let’s hope that the gods aren't pying trie,” He mumbled.

  The following steps were purely instinctive, they were natural, and he felt as if he had lived with this ability for a hundred years now! It was a weird feeling. First he put his arms in front of his stomach, and the his hands very close to each other, but he didn’t lock his fiogether, he kept them an inch apart.

  “Purposes Mundi Aqus,” He whispered, partially against his own will.

  As a result, a tiny, bck cloud appeared iween his hands! Its shade was as dark as the night, he couldn’t see through it despite it being a mere cloud.

  Tim thehe cloud in his right hand, raised it up in front of him to have a look, and watched it shape up into a tiny version of a portal. Though a tiny version, this was exactly the kind of portal he saw when he was dealing with those Demoles! It was identical.

  “Well then, there you go…” He muttered, and then with a flick of his hand, he threw the portal on the ground, and had it expand!

  The portal exploded in size, and stretched out to be eight feet tall and wide! It was definitely a bit bigger than the portal he was used to.

  “Wow, I actually did it!” He celebrated, “I finally summon portals, and it didn’t e a single mana point, haha! The guys will be so happy, we asd to level eight today if we wao.”

  Arvena heard that he was mumbling about something, however, wheurned around and saen portal, she shrieked in joy! Her enthusiasm matches his!

  “Will that take us to the bug world!?” She asked.

  “Yes!” Timothy answered, but then he realized. “We have to kill those tipedes, though, because we 't have them and their one-hundred legs running around while we level up. They could eat us whole, and we wouldn’t know.”

  “You’re right,” She nodded, “It's best if we bring the dragons with us too, they protect us, fight with us. We also 't leave them here for weeks, because time passes quickly on Valporovus when we're in Purpureus Mundi. A day there is probably like five months here, I'm yet to do the math.”

  The two of them turheir enthusiasm into light mathematics. They wao be very thh before they ehis universe, and with that said, it was best not to rush and jump in there. They had to be prepared.

  They had a bunch of boar meat to prepare, and fry first. They he energy to face the dangers of the other side, so they also had to pack up a buneat with them, as they po stay ht, in that castle.

  In simple words, he had to get rid of this portal first. They couldn't gh it yet anyway, so they couldn’t risk having giant bugs ing out of there, as the portal was quite wide, after all. Timothy simply tore the portal out of its pce, as he had dohe first time around.

  After that, he wao go and inform the rest of his friends that they'll be going to the needle universe of Purpureus Mundi soon, likely tonight, and he was excited about it!

  Anyway, ter on, he kept thinking about the few little words he spoke before he summohe portal. It was not a spoken-word spell, but he just mentiohe universe’s name instinctively, before he summos portal. This was all fine and well, but he couldn’t nearly figure out why he included the word ‘Aqus’ into the summoning! It was against his will.

  Tim had said, ‘Purpureus Mundi Aqus’ - But he couldn’t recall seeing any body of water in that universe, be it big or small. Sure there may be a natural stream of water there, but that didn’t excuse the use of the word ‘Aqus’. He erplexed, but just decided to py along with it, because he was happy that he could summon a portal to begin with. This was a rare power!

  Tim spent the rest of the afternoon helping prepare all the boar meat, and a couple of hours before dusk, they started cooking the haul. The cold air up in the mountain had prevehe meat from spoiling, so it was still edible.

  Collectively, they got a huge fire going, because it wasn’t easy to cook four whole boars! They could put a stick through a boar’s butt and hope for the best, but no one wao spend their night rolling the boar around, no, they avoided this from the beginning, as they dissected a couple of boars very thhly.

  They id a bunch of chops on a wide, ft stone, close to the fire, and watched it sizzle as its impurities were forever destroyed by the heat of the fire. Thin slices were easier to fry on a rge sto didn’t take much time, so they cut a bunch of those first, so they could have some lunch!

  It wasn't ideal to have lunch at 5pm, but they spent a great deal of time preparing the boar meat. Everyone had lent a hand earlier on, it wasn’t an easy job.

  Ohey felt tent after eating a few thin slices, they started cooking these fat steaks afterwards as well! The smell of the sizzling steak could wake a bear out of hibernation, it smelled delicious, so they were hoping that this wouldn't bring them any trouble.

  The dragons were pretty hungry too, and although they didn't seem to prefer cooked meat, Arvena insisted heless. She threw almost two whole boars on the huge fire they've lit, and flipped them a couple of times, until she was sure that she destroyed at least some of the live bacteria, worms, and other extremities within the boar's body.

  “I 't have you guys getting sick,” She said, and then threw a b at Geie the dragon. He was fairly happy. “Worms kill you, and it won't be a quick death either.”

  “Good call,” Skendus nodded, but now he felt less thahusiastic to eat the steak in front of him. He imagined worms sizzling withieak, a sick. “Look at me, huh? A picky rat, that would get the humans cag.”

  Anyway, they cooked a bunch of steaks up until after dusk, and ate half of them. They put the other half of the well-cooked steaks in their separate bags, and hoped that they wouldn't spoil at least until tomorrow.

  The dragons ate what remained of the boar meat, and si dragons were rather difficult to feed, it wasn’t a surprise how they didn't leave any scraps at the end. Geie was even strong enough to chew through a few bones, his belly was like a bottomless pit, as he was a twenty foot long dragon.

  After this, they felt ready to be on the move. Timothy had bbbered about a portal earlier on, so it was about time to summon it once more.

  Timothy focused, put his arms in front of his chest, and then he gently whispered. “Purpureus Mundi Aqus...”

  The tiny portal appeared between his palms once more, so he flicked it towards the ground. The portal then expanded into its great, eight foot size, and was ready to accept visitors!
