Chapter 48 – Opening the Portal

"I will depart for the Asgard and Takagahamara after the conquest of the Yestera Plane is done."

I said to Venelana as we then started talking about various mischievous things.

"Your new look is pretty good... more handsome than before."

Said Venelana during our conversation as a reaction to my new upgraded looks.

After several hours I have been accompanying her and tea and snacks; I went to Mephisto Pheles to discuss magic.

Progress on constructing the planar or astral gate was going steadily. It was decided that the portal would be constructed away from Castle Fuerig in the militarized zone.

This entire area where the portal was located was guarded by several Magic Towers, creating enormous defensive and offensive formations to protect the gate and protect everything from the gate.

Getting help from Mephisto Pheles would greatly help in propagating my new magic system and, more importantly, creating new spells. I have created only several spells, as I wasn't bothered creating countless spells, as there are those who will do it in my stead.

"Lord Lucifer."

"Lord Pheles... so Zekram is very interested in announcing my heritage to the entire world as it seems."

I said while greeting him back. Though with my new appearance, he didn't have to do much, as I would be suspected by most, as silver hair is a trademark of the Lucifer and Lucifuge blood, though, with my Dark Light, it is clear as night's sky.

"Indeed, you are an anomaly, My Lord. For Lord Zekram, or even for Lord Lucifer. In the long term, keeping your heritage hidden may cause you more damage than profit. As Ultimate-Class devil, I can predict that you won't stay as Ultimate-Class long time, right?"

Said Mephisto as he looked at me.

"For whatever you wish to do, you need to bring the maximum from your bloodline, from the fame of the name Lucifer. Devils respect it, at the most innate level, as the original is the creator."

Said to me Mephisto.

"We will see at a later date... after the conquest of the Yestera. When will the portal be ready?"

I asked the important question of this day.

"One day, two days maximally. Planar travel is pretty complicated, and one mistake could result in us connecting to an entirely different plane within the Dimensional Gap, or we would get lost in the Dimensional Gap and die subsequently. It needs patience and resources; fortunately, we have enough of both, right?"

Mephisto said that with a small laugh at the end.

"You have scouted the Yestera Plane, right?"

I asked him.

"No... that was the work of Lord Zekram, but he didn't give me anything, so we will need to do it after we enter the Yestera Plane, but the civilization there is weak, some human barbarians, and mainly goblinoid species and some monster species."

Said he in a sorry voice, as it was also additional work for him as the main leading magician of the expedition.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

"Dammed, old man. Rather, for now, come and look at the fruits of my research!"

I exclaimed happily as we started comparing notes about magic. I showed him my Tier Magic System with a brief explanation of how it worked. Then Mephisto tried it, and thanks to his exquisite knowledge of devil magic, human magic, and several types of runes, he was able to replicate the results.

"Hmm... how did you solve the spellcasting stability? All rune types I am using, be it Aesir, Hieroglyphs, or Shinto, are resulting in a great deal of incompatibility. You must find a suitable Runic Language perfectly compatible with Devil Magic, right?"

He said as he observed the spell he cast.

"As expected of someone of your abilities when it came to magic. Yes, Zekram provided me with an entirely new Runic Magic, which is absolutely perfect for the usage with Devil Magic. Innate Affinity Compatibility is 100,00%."

I said to him. Afterward, we spent talking about magic till the next day, as we worked together on the Tier Magic System; as Mephisto said, it was more suitable for Devils than their innate magic due to the lack of firepower of Devil Magic.

After another day that was spent by me either accompanying Venelana or researching magic with Mephisto Pheles, the outline of the planar gate was finally constructed by Arcane Mechanical Automatons and apprentices of Mephisto Pheles.

Now it was time to activate the planar gate by casting the correct spell that would activate the entire runic formation that was engraved there, and the gate would be open.

Then my armies could march and conquer. Search and destroy.

I was standing on the balcony of the Fuerig; together with me was Venelana, and behind us were standing two of my Generals, General Amyke and General Borke Zagan. All of us were in our armors, and down below, all around the Fuerig, hundreds of thousands of devil soldiers were lined up in nice and clear formations, waiting for orders.

Suddenly, Mephisto started chanting the incarnation for the spell, and the entire runic matrix started glowing as an enormous amount of ambient magic was being drawn to the spell formation, and a dimensional portal was being formed around the planar gate in the same kaleidoscopic color as was the Dimensional Gap.

"Send in scouts."

I commanded sternly after seeing the planar gate was connected to the Yestera Plane.

Fortunately, it took only twenty minutes until the scouts returned with the good news that the planar gate materialized on the abandoned area that looked like some kind of wasteland there. After hearing the report, I grabbed the Rosenkreutz and swung it at the planar gate.

"March! To battle! To conquest! For the Glory of Devil Race!"

I shouted to my soldiers as 2,6 million devils started marching to the gate after General Amyke and General Borke Zagan went ahead of them to guard the gate.

"Come on, my dear... death and destruction await us."

I said to Venelana, who nodded happily and followed after me.
