After successfully defeating the Eternal commander and sealing the latest Grade Four rift, Ironhart secures a massive amount of Merit Points. The System finally unlocks his Saint Advancement Quest, which tasks him with defeating a mysterious figure known as Defender Aurora within ten days. Following his return to the base on Abor to check on his subordinates' progress, he travels to a secluded island to continue his long-term project of constructing a permanent spatial gate to connect the world to his home planet of Vaythos.

The sea surrounding the tiny island surged with wild, restless waves, while violet runes shimmered intensely across the desolate terrain beneath my feet. Under my command, the massive teleportation formation, a complex and sprawling network of intricate designs, was steadily taking form. Up above, the horizon began to grow dim as ominous storm clouds congregated over the boundless waters of Abor.

For several long minutes, I surveyed the arrays in silence, performing minor adjustments to the outer runic channels before finally exhaling and standing tall.

"That should do for now."

Through my Right to Insight, every rune was perceived as a living network of connections and energy flows; I tracked those lines with focus, carefully directing the essence that powered them.

Time slipped away unnoticed.

Another series of symbols shifted into perfect alignment. The stabilizing anchors were now holding firm.

Provided the next sequence of spatial conduits integrated correctly, the structure could sustain a direct gateway to Vaythos without succumbing to the crushing weight of interstellar distance.

I was in the midst of preparing the follow-up adjustment when a voice abruptly broke my concentration.

"Hey there."

I blinked, glancing upward.

Steve and North had touched down by my side near the formation's perimeter, both observing the luminous runes that painted the island.

"They have been waiting for quite some time," Steve remarked, gesturing toward the heavens with his thumb.

Only then did I notice the six formidable presences hovering high above. Even through the dense cover of clouds, their auras were undeniable; the roiling currents of lightning, shadow, gravity, wind, life energy, and sealing force twisted the very fabric of the atmosphere around them.

I straightened my posture and rotated my shoulders.

"Ah... right."

A gentle smile appeared on my lips.

"My apologies. I got lost in the flow of the runes."

North cast a keen look down at the ground formation.

"How much have you finished?"

"Roughly eighty percent."

Surprise flickered in her eyes.

"Is it that far along already?"

"The foundation is stable. Now, I am mostly just refining details."

Steve knelt briefly to inspect a massive symbol etched into the bedrock before rising once more.

"And upon completion?"

"A direct gate to Vaythos."

Steve emitted a low whistle.

"That is... convenient. It will certainly simplify things moving forward."

North nodded pensively before turning her gaze back to the sky.

"They have been lingering up there for quite a while now."

I followed her line of sight upward.

The six summons remained motionless, suspended hundreds of meters above the island like distant stars obscured by the clouds.

"Understood," I stated quietly.

I stepped away from the base and ascended slowly, leaving Steve and North behind as I rose into the air.

Within moments, I punched through the lower cloud layer, arriving at the altitude where the six figures awaited.

They parted slightly, granting me space as I neared.

I halted before them.

"So," I spoke calmly, "how are the rifts faring?"

Aurora was the first to answer.

"We have successfully closed two. However, I noticed the Eternals are pushing more forces through. It appears they have realized we are systematically targeting their rifts."

Silver offered a slight nod.

"Their commanders are pivoting. They have begun reinforcing the larger rifts with far more dangerous abominations."

Ragnar flashed a grin.

"Which only makes the skirmishes more entertaining."

"I anticipated as much," I replied.

Lyrate tilted her head slightly.

"Your reputation is currently expanding faster than the rifts themselves. Most factions across this galaxy are now giving those sectors a wide berth."

That was the exact result I had desired.

"How is your strength progressing?" I asked.

Lightning flickered faintly across Aurora as she answered.

"These relentless battles are pushing our understanding of the laws further. The Eternals provide excellent training scenarios."

Ragnar rolled his shoulders with vigor.

"And crushing their monsters never grows dull."

Ash remained silent, though several dim sealing runes manifested briefly in the air before fading away.

I studied all six of them with a steady gaze.

The power they projected had surged noticeably in just the past few weeks. This continuous combat against Eternal forces had accelerated their growth far beyond what traditional training could provide.

For a brief moment, the wind surged silently through the clouds surrounding us.

Finally, Ragnar spoke up again.

"So... what were we supposed to be waiting up here for?"

I offered a slight, knowing smile.

"Just a short test."

Six pairs of eyes locked onto me.

"The rule is elementary."

I gestured to the empty space where I stood.

"You win if you can force me to move from this exact spot."

Ragnar’s grin went wide at once.

"That is all?"

"That is all."

Aurora arched an eyebrow.

"Against all six of us?"

"Yes."

A brief silence fell over the group. A faint silver glow rippled around my silhouette until I suppressed it.

"Begin."

They wasted no time. Knight was the first to strike. The surrounding clouds darkened as the shadows within them underwent an unnatural stretch. Darkness folded and then collapsed entirely as Knight stepped out from it, his signature vanishing from the sky as if he had merged with the atmosphere itself. Simultaneously, Lyrate launched her assault. There was no soil for roots here, so she conjured her own. Great strands of life energy burst from her palms, weaving into massive, twisting vines that spanned the clouds like living rivers. Entire trees manifested from condensed essence in thin air, their massive trunks launching toward me like javelins. Aurora followed instantly, lightning cleaving the sky. A bolt dropped from the storm clouds above like a meteor, striking directly where I hovered. The heavens erupted in blinding white light. Then, the attacks slammed into something unseen. Thousands of violet shields materialized around me. These shields formed instantly from condensed essence, humming as they spiraled in a defensive cyclone. Lyrate's living constructs shattered against the barrier, and Aurora's lightning scattered across the surface in violent arcs. I remained entirely motionless. Essence obeyed my will seamlessly. Every particle of ambient energy in the atmosphere felt like an extension of my own limbs. Down below, Steve shaded his eyes to look up. "Well, that is a new trick." North watched the expanding formation of blades with fascination. The battle intensified. Silver moved next, his body surging upward as he took the form of a massive bird, his wingspan wide while wind laws howled around him. A fierce tornado manifested as he climbed, unleashing a barrage of crimson beams downward. The clouds bled red. Those beams crashed into my swirling barrier, detonating against the constructs in bursts of flame. Before the smoke dissipated, Ragnar was already charging. Gravity folded around him as he propelled himself forward, space warping beneath his feet from the sheer force of his acceleration. His massive club swung down like a meteor, carrying enough power to crush mountains. The impact collided with the defensive runes. The sky trembled under the pressure. A shockwave tore across the cloud layer as the strike met my shield. I raised one hand, and a massive barrier of solidified essence formed instantly. Ragnar’s club slammed into it with a thunderous roar, sending ripples through the air for kilometers. Ragnar’s grin grew wider. Before he could follow up, space shimmered beside me. Knight emerged from the shadows near my shoulder, his blade slicing through the air in total silence as spatial distortion sharpened his strike to extreme levels. I simply tilted my head. A thin wall of essence appeared exactly where his edge was meant to pass. The blade grazed the barrier before Knight retreated back into the void. At that same moment, Ash unleashed his power. Black sealing runes erupted across the sky. Hundreds of intricate designs spread like constellations, rapidly expanding to stifle the ambient essence around me. Chains wrought from sealing energy lashed out to bind my constructs. "Intriguing." For a split second, the surrounding essence resisted my command as Ash’s sealing laws interfered with the environment. The silver glow flickered around me briefly before I crushed it down.
