A violet glow encompassed the blades and fists of the plum blossom sect members as they did their best to push away the demons that they were facing.

"Push them back! The sword that our ancestors brought to life will not lose to mere demons!"

"The flowing sword of the plum blossom sect will not falter!"

"I will stand with Captain Gongsu until the end!" A swordsman shouted out right before decapitating a demon.

Multiple members of the Plum-blossom sect have already retreated back to their realm due to injury or to help a fallen comrade. The demons were clearly focused on driving the human forces back. Human forces no matter the reality are considered a powerful threat due to their powerful elites and their numbers. Humans are plentiful in the vast realities and they can call for backup at a moment's notice, this is why the Terran Regiments and the Murim sects are considered dangerous even by the more powerful realms.

It has been about half an hour since Yeram received the message from Travis. The mansion was too far for them to visit at this point. Gongsu and Yeram are barely holding on, the large demon Moban was capable of physical feats that they could only dream about. Even with their expert use of internal energy.

It was becoming obvious that retreat was their only option. With the hundreds of demons and the threats coming from the portals even such a well-trained squadron was beginning to falter.

"Oi!! Open the portals! I'll take them from here!" Gongsu unleashed a purple flare from his body, strengthening him to the point where it was finally his turn to push the demons back.

"You heard the captain, do it! DO IT NOW!" Another martial artist shouted out as he opened up a portal, chucking in an ally or two as he headed in.

"It's too far gone, We'll see you on the other side!"

"Miss Yeram!!!" A woman shouted out as she blocked a blow from the demon. A blow that was meant for Yeram.

"Nala, why would you do such a thing?" She asked, dumbfounded by the other woman's decision.

"We can't lose you again now? Can we?" Right as she said this a blue portal appeared behind her, sucking both her and Yeram into it.

With the help of the Plum Blossom sect members and the sacrifice of their captain, Gongsu, multiple members of their platoon were saved. Their lives would not be forfeit, after all Gongsu traded his life not just for their own but also for the life of a light that they once lost.

The importance of the flower that was Yeram Choi could not be underestimated. A direct disciple of their sect, a talent that reached the Gold-grade at the tender age of 20. She was the daughter of one of the most prolific martial artists to come from their sector, the only offspring of the man dubbed as the Sword tiger. Indeed, despite her arrogant attitude she was loved and revered by many during her day.

To have such a talent now back in their fold, 15 years later was something to behold. Someone that was comparable to their best disciples, Yeram was a gem that they were willing to take back despite the sacrifice of a captain that reached gold-grade at the peak of his prime.

Yeram would be dumbfounded as she looked at the area that the portal led her to. The tall white walls of their sect and the purple uniform that they all wore. Scenes that she often imagined throughout her last 15 years in purgatory, like the end to a long dream she was finally here. Finally home.

Tears left her eyes for the first time in ages, A homecoming despite the years that passed by was something that she didn't foresee at all. Only a few weeks after being revived, she was finally home.

"I see, so the necromancy fizzles out when the corpses enter another realm." Noah quickly took note of this fact as he watched the skeleton crumble on the other side of the portal.

"Put most of the supplies on Ara, we can think about the other things later!" Travis was eager to get out. Rushing through the portal with supplies.

"I can only see trees and grass from the other side Master Travis!" Mira called out to the both of them. "I'm sure that it's safe from here!"

Moving over an entire base was difficult but getting the essentials for a new one was doable. With the help of Ara, they secured supplies and most of their gadgets for the next few months. Living sustainably in the mountain range was no longer a difficult task.

"This will be better for us, I just hope that the new reality is safer than this last one. A reality with better tech doesn't sound too bad and I was never too attached to this one in the first place. Good riddance earth, I'll return when I get more allies."
