Chapter 514: Cost

Rakha Kingdom

The earthquake lasted only a few seconds, yet the panic it incited was far more intense and ominous this time. Princess Isadora's eyes widened in horror as she stared at the familiar black portal slowly taking shape atop Howling Island. Her body trembled, her face paling as she stared at the black void she had witnessed in her past life.

"We—We need to leave," Isadora stammered, gripping her brother's arm urgently. "Now. We need to leave. Now."

"What are you—"

"That is the portal. The demons will soon pass through it. We will not be able to save everyone. We need to leave." She did not wait for her brother to respond; instead, she dragged him towards their father's study. She had already shared her vision with him. Luckily, teleportation arrays existed in this lifetime and they could leave immediately.
