Chapter 768
Thera was more than happy to agree, wanting the change of pace that would come with a quick trip through the sky and with that sorted they grabbed the other three and went off, taking his gate to the magic towers from there and the world’s gate network beyond before Ben helped Thera spend her mana, working together to materialize a cart for them to use to take them to their final destination under her power.

“I am.”
“But nothing can go through you?”
