novelWe meet again

Once Gary had left, the pressure in the room lifted with it and so did the heat. Ray was struggling to get up and decided to absorb the three advanced tier crystals he had obtained earlier.
He now had a total of 25 advanced tier points. What Ray also realised is whenever he used the crystals, it made his body feel stronger each time and felt refreshed but what that also meant was he could use it this way to heal himself.
His body started to feel like normal again and Ray was soon able to lift himself off the ground. This was the reason why Ray decided not to absorb the crystals yet, even though there was a chance he could meet Gary.
He had expected an even fight shifting in Gary's favour, then when the time was right, Ray would use an advanced tier crystal to heal himself and get slightly stronger. However, what Ray didn't expect was for Gary to complete overpower him in a matter of seconds, not even giving Ray the chance to fight back.
"Hey come over here!" Ark shouted."Can one of you two help?"
Although Jack's body was strong, the blow he had received from Gary had managed to pierce through his line of defence, his skin. It didn't help that Jack had just transformed a few moments before. Jack's body was always significantly weaker after a transformation.
Lenny started to look at the wound on Jack's head.
"I wouldn't worry about it too much, it looks like it's already healing, " Said Lenny, "But at the same time I don't want to be carrying him around."
Lenny then placed his hands above the wound on Jack's head. His hands started to glow bright white and the wound suddenly started to heal even quicker.
After a few moments, Jack was starting to open his eyes.
Ray couldn't help but think that Lenny was a strange man. Usually, mages specialised in one type of magic, his mother who was a mage could only perform, Fire magic, Lilly could perform wind magic but Lenny had performed multiple different types of magic and was now even using white magic, a rare ability.
"What happened?" Jack said as he looked around."Gary, did he escape?"
"No." Ray said, "He let us live."
After waiting a little while for Jack to come back to his senses, the four of them started to walk up the stairs towards the temple doors. There were two large metal doors made of the same material as the ones at Avrion and similar to the doors at Avrion there was a curricular lock on the door.
"It looks like this was the reason for them waiting outside." Lenny said, "The two of them even with their power can't break Glatherium."
"Well if they couldn't get into the temple, what makes you think we can." Said Ark, "Do you know a trick or two to get in?"
Lenny shook his head. 𝙛𝐫ℯ𝚎wℯ𝗯ｎoѵ𝙚𝗹 - 🅽🅽novel
"I'm afraid not, the only people who will be able to enter must know the code. The smith who created the door and the Mayor are most likely the only people to know."
"So it was a wasted trip then, " Ark said in disappointment.
That's when Ray had walked up to the door and placed his hand on the circular lock.
Just like with all the other doors, Ray for some reason was able to open them.
The circular lock then started to swirl around and began to unlock itself before both of the doors slid to the side and opened up.
Ray could see Lenny was looking at him curiously.
"A skill I learned along the way."
"Well I hope you can teach me that skill young boy, I would pay any price." Said Lenny, "There are many places that I would like to access that have been blocked by a door like this one."
Ray didn't reply hoping that Lenny would forget about it, after all, there was no way Ray was able to teach Lenny anything.
As soon as the doors opened, a blue glow shone out of the room. It was a large single hall that was covered in little tiny glowing blue rocks. Rows of benches laid out all leading to the back of the hall and right at the end was a single large crystal floating in the air.
"The divine being, although I have never seen this one, it is exactly the same as the one at Avrion, " Lenny said.
While Lenny, Ray and Jack didn't seem to be affected by its presence at all, Ark had immediately bowed down to it. He felt it was a higher being that he had to respect.
"What are you guys doing, bow down, " Ark said.
"Isn't it just a large beast crystal?" Jack said.
"Well now all we need to do is hope that the Divine being will speak out to one of us?" Lenny said. The divine being can be picky, there are times when people have come to see her and she has said nothing."
"Don't worry, I'm sure she will speak to me, " Ray said as he walked closer to the glowing crystal in the air.
This time Ray was the one who initiated the connection and placed his hand on the Divine being. Once again it felt like a part of him had left his body and entered the crystal.
At the same time images started to flash through his head. The images of war, Ray's friends standing by his side and also two people he hadn't seen before. One, a female wearing a black cloak and holding a magic staff with black hair, the other, a boy with silver hair and a crystal held in his hand.
And the enemy, the shadow plague. On their side stood Monk and Gary, the two of them stood atop a fortress smiling down on them.
Then finally the images had stopped and the part of Ray that was in the crystal was returned to his body.
"What was that?" Ray asked.
"That, was the future." The Divine being replied.
