Chapter 165: Die Or Run
James looked at the Walkers, Blades, and Drakon, all of them going with the Conquerors... His guild. But he already said he'll be going the other way, so if he changed now...
"Wait! Jennifer, I'm going with you!"
"Uh?"
James and his group were stunned, as Scarlett rushed to the Conquerors.
"What are you doing, Scarlett? Your eagle can't fly that high..." James quickly said.
"Yes, But I can fly with the Conquerors." She said, and added: "James, I know you're strong-headed, but that won't help you... I say you follow us." She said in a low voice.
James stared at the group behind him, and turned to Scarlett: "Sorry, But my decision stand, I just want to survive."
"But, James! What about the Kid?! He's the mission... How will you get him to the mountain?" She asked, not giving up.
"Don't worry, we have the map, and it'll lead us to the mountain... Survive, and meet us there." James nodded at her.
"Come on, Let's get moving, don't forget the Storm!" Mike said, sitting on his tiger.
James smiled at her, and walked away... Scarlett stood frozen, watching as her friends walked away.
"Come on, and don't have any hope... If we cross the Ocean, we'll reach the ice mountain before today runs out, but they still have three days ahead before reaching it... If they survive."
Robert said, standing behind her.
Scarlett looked at him over her shoulder, and slowly nodded her head.
"Come on."
With that the group started their journey to the Black Sea.
'I gained back my powers, so I can face anything that'll attack us... I think.' Aaron thought, moving ahead.

[On The way.]
"What type of monsters do you think are in the waters?"
Scarlett asked Mira beside her... The two and Maria were on Drakon's head... Drakon was so huge, all the Pets, and players could stay on his back.
"Don't know, All I know is... Those things under the storm are inside." Mira replied, playing "card game" with Maria.
"I still can't believe you two are playing card game in this situation, and on a Dragon's back." Scarlett said, staring at the two girls in surprise.
"What do you want us to do? And besides, we'll know when we reach the sea." Maria muttered.
"Card is one of my best games, so far no one can defeat me... Well, apart from my brother."
"Supreme. I wish I have a brother like him." Scarlett said with a small smile, and added in a low voice: "Or a husband."
The two girls turned their heads to Scarlett, and shook their heads with smiles on their faces.
"What happened?" Scarlett asked in mild confusion.
"If you know Supreme some years ago, you won't want him to be your brother... You are saying this, because of who he is now." Maria answered, and turned her head to Mira.

"My Brother-in-law's Life story is deep, and painful... So don't go there." She added.
Scarlett moved her gaze from Maria to Mira, and repeated the action... After a whole ten seconds, she finally sighed:
"You are right, I only said that because of who he is at the moment... Well... What make you guys think we'll survive this?" She asked, quickly changing the subject.
"Because we have this guy we're sitting on, and those guys." Mira answered, patting Drakon's back.
"Oh... That's good."
Whooosh!!!
A cold breeze moved past the three, causing them to shiver slightly.
"Ok, Girls... Get ready, the sea is right ahead." Drakon announced.

Aaron and the group stared at the black eerily calm sea with surprise and awesome. Even in daylight, it cast a foreboding feeling in their hearts.
"We're not ready for this." Scarlett said.
"Yes we are." Maria muttered, her Mystical-class spear materializing in her hand.
"Hey, Miss Jennifer is..."
Drakon, and the girls turned their heads to Jennifer.
She pointed a finger to the sky.
Drakon nodded, and moved higher, the group and their beasts, following behind them, ascended, entering the clouds.
Everyone held their breath, as they slowly moved above the sea.
"See, Nothing happened?" Maria said with a smile.
"There's only one problem, we don't know the size of the sea, and how long it'll take us." Mira said.
"True. And we'll make it!" Maria was clearly excited.
Whizzzd!
Aaron, Jennifer, Erika, Maria, Scarlett and the rest frowned. Everyone heard the sound, like something moving with incredible speed.
Whoosh!!
BOOOOM!!!
"WHAT IN THE GODS' NAME?!!"
Aaron exclaimed as a huge tentacle, measuring 3 meters wide shot into the air, right in front of him.
Whizzzd!!
Whizzzd!!
Whizzzd!
They all looked down, seeing tens of tentacles moving towards them.
"DIVE!!"
Erika yelled, and Without wasting even a second, her dragon moved, diving to the right, dodging a tentacle.
Whoosh!!!
"Ahhh!! It caught me!!"
Veronica yelled from behind.
The Conquerors turned around in horror, they stood there, watching as the tentacles wrapped around Veronica's dragon.
"I'm coming Veronica!"
Before Chris could move, a series of wind blades shattered the tentacle into pieces.
****SCRREEEECH!!!!!****
A terrifying shriek sounded from the depth of the sea. The tentacles redrew back to the Black waters.
Veronica looked above her at Eins, whose sword was held behind him... The blade pointing upward.
"**Go, and don't slow down even for a second...**"
He lowered his gaze to the Black Sea: "**Whatever that Monster is. Is more-stronger than a Celestial-class monster...**"
"**Maybe a Primordial?**" Zwei asked.
"**Go!!**"
Eins yelled at the players.
"Move, Don't stop for anyone!!"
Jennifer and the group quickly channelled their energies into their beasts, and with a sonic boom! They shot forward, with Drakon leading the way.
'I should have stayed back and fight... But to survive in this world, you must know when to run and when to fight, just as Mom told me.' Aaron thought, following behind Jennifer.

"Ok, This will be troublesome."
Havoc walked out from a tore space, his hands folded behind him.
"Yes, Only the Ruler can face such a monster!" Shenras said.
"**We aren't here to kill, Just distract it.**" Eins said in a calm tone.
Zwei and Drei looked at one another, and Instantly turned into trail of lights, merging... And after some seconds, Zwedrei walked out.
"**We're going all out.**"
She bought out her mask, and put it on... Eins also summoned his mask and put it on.
"Who would have thought such a monster will be in this small world?" Campe asked, instantly transforming into the fearsome snake-like dragon... Black and red armor appeared on Havoc's and Shenras's bodies, a cape made of pure energy moving behind them.
"It has been long I was this serious in a fight."
Havoc stretched forth his hand, and a long Divine-class sword appeared.
Whooosh!!!
The group looked down, seeing even more tentacles moving towards them.
"**ATTACK!**"
BOOM!!
They disappeared, shooting towards the tentacles.

'At least we created some distance from whatever that thing is... Even the All Seeing Eyes can't see though the waters.' Aaron looked behind him, while still flying.
"What type of monster was that?!" Tyson asked in horror.
"I don't know, Its energy wave was so great! I just hope those guys defeat it." Jennifer replied, staring at him over her shoulder.
**SCREECH!!!!!!**
"You got to be kidding me?!?"
Everyone looked above them, seeing griffins moving towards them with pure killing instinct.
"Leave these guys to me."
Aaron shot forward with his sword.
"Be careful, those are Mystical-class monsters!!" Jennifer yelled.
Aaron stood in front of the monsters, and smirked: "To me, Celestial monsters are weaklings."
Red and black energies covered his sword, and with a horizontal swing, he sent a terrifying energy Blades, towards the monsters.
Whoosh!!
Everyone watched in shock, as the monsters formed a defense shield with magic, blocking the attack.
"They blocked it?" Aaron was stunned.
"Don't worry, We just need to get off the water, and we'll be able to face these things." Chris said.
Aaron stared at the monsters as they removed the shield, and moved towards them.
"You guys are good." He stretched out his hand towards the monsters.
"[Wind manipulation]"
Moment next, the oxygen around the monsters seized.
The Griffins froze, and after some seconds, they fell from the sky.
"But without air, you die." Aaron added, watching as the monster fall into the Black Sea.
"Who's this Kid?" Borne asked in mild confusion.
"Don't know, Brother Borne." Dink said.
"Ok, Let's Keep on moving!" Erika yelled.
___
Whoosh!!
BAM!!
Eins cut off two more tentacles, while moving towards the sea, Zwedrei and Campe following behind him...
****SCREECH!!!****
The monsters below let out another loud shriek, causing waves all over the sea... Eins and the group watched as the tentacles dove back into the waters.
"What happen?" Shenras asked, staring at the sea.
Swhoosh!
"Uh?"
Everyone watched the waters as whatever behemoth in the depth moved towards the direction Aaron and the others took.
"This is bad!! We need to stop it!!" Havoc hissed out, and shot forward... The rest following behind it.
