LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 466: Get Ready, Everyone!!
[Same Day.]
The Conquerors and players all sat around the tree, with countless emotions and thoughts moving in their heads.
Getting defeated so easily didn't sit well with them, especially Blood-Arrow.
White-Death moved her gaze around the group, stood up, and walked towards her sister; who sat some meters from the tree...
"Sister?"
She called out in a low voice.
Blood-Arrow looked over her shoulder, and gave a small smile.
"Are you ok?" Maria asked again.
Blood-Arrow turned her head to the distance:
"It's nothing, Maria."
"No. No. No, there's something wrong with you." Maria walked forward, and sat beside Blood-Arrow; then turned to her side profile.
"Is it because of the battle?" She asked after some hesitation.
Blood-Arrow looked up at the night sky, and sighed deeply:
"I thought being an Immortal, I'll be able to fight beside Michael... But it seems all that was a child wish. There are more-powerful enemies out there." She turned to White-Death.
"How can I be with Michael if I can't bear his pains, battle, and support him?"
"What are you saying, Sister?!" White-Death asked in mild shock.
"Don't even think about it! Brother-in-law doesn't need a fighter, or a babysitter... He needs his love, and partner, who will be with him In his hard times... Because you can't defeat one enemy didn't mean you can't stand beside Brother-in-law... So remove such thoughts from your heads." She paused, and asked:
"Why are we here, Sister?"
"To get stronger." Blood-Arrow replied, staring at her in confusion.
"Good... You're here to get stronger, and you'll face obstacles in the way... Just because you were thrown to the ground doesn't mean you can't rise again, and do better..." She stared at Blood-Arrow for some seconds, and stood up:
"You know Brother-in-law, I'll say you're the third person that knows him more than all of us, or even the first... So think about this; What will Brother-in-law want from you?" With that said, she walked back to Dark-angel.
"You know she's Right."
Blood-Arrow turned her head to the side, seeing Aaron standing with his heads folded behind him.
"You? Were you eavesdropping?"
"A little." Aaron replied, walking towards her.
"If it was the past, I would have separated your head from your shoulders..."
"Whoa, Thank goodness this isn't the past." Aaron said with a smile.
Blood-Arrow turned her head towards him, a cold light flashed in her eyes:
"That didn't mean I can't kill you... You're our mission, that's the only reason you're alive... Tell me, why are you here?"
Aaron looked at the group around the trees, some were already asleep.
"The way you're feeling... I know what is it, doubt, worries, and even fear... All that is just the human brain. As you said, you're an immortal, and; you can't be an immortal while still using the same mentality when you were a human." He stopped beside her, and looked at the horizon.
"We don't know what is waiting for us ahead... But all I know is, it won't be easy. If you keep acting this way, you won't be of any help to us." He turned around:
"Change that, and watch the change unfold." He looked at her over his shoulder, sighed, and walked away.
Blood-Arrow flicked her wrist, and her purple sword appeared in her hand, she observed the blade... And took a deep breath.
She kept it back, and looked up at the night sky:
"Where are you, Love? I miss you." She said in a low voice, as a drop of tear rolled down her cheek.

Dark-angel was currently resting her head on Queen-of-death's laps, the two staring at Blood-Arrow's back.
"What do you think, Bestie?"
"Erika will need some time alone... Micky isn't here to keep her company, and help her out with her emotional trauma... But I know Erika, she'll jump out from this before morning."
She looked down at Dark-angel... "Ok, Mira... Get some sleep, tomorrow will be a long day." She said, caressing Dark-angel's hair.
"Hmm..."
That was all she said, and slowly closed her eyes... After a whole five minutes, Queen-of-death turned her head to Reaper, and Apate, who stood beside them.
"What do you think about that girl's words?"
The two looked at one another in confusion.
"I mean the second blade, what's her name again... Yes. Zwei."
"**There's nothing much to think about her, all you need to know is; she's the second blade of the ruler.**" Apate said.
"Ok, But who is this ruler? Is it Micky?"
"**HUH?**"
The two looked at one another, thinking if Queen-of-death had figured everything out.
"Think about it, you guys called Micky, Ruler... Shenras also called him Ruler... Now, those two said they're working for the Ruler. Most of all; the first has the Aura of Micky." She said, but was still doubtful.
"**We don't know.**"
Reaper said calmly.
"Just my thinking, It might be another creature, but if it's an enemy... Why didn't Eins kill us? He has all the opening and his attack force is even reduced... I'm just confused."
She turned her head to the side, seeing Tyson, discussing something with the male players on the group.
"Forget all that, Let's focus on the issue at hand... After the game, we can figure all this out."
The two nodded their head.

[Four months later in the Pagoda.]
{Congratulations Host, You gained 20,000 exp from worshipers.}
{Note: EXP have been converted into Points.}
{Congratulations, Third blade; Drei Obtained.}
{Congratulations, Zwedrei have been Activated.}
Michael opened his eyes, and turned his head at the two blades kneeling with one knee, behind him, their fist on the ground; and heads lowered.
"How long have you two been kneeling there?" He asked.
"**Two months now, Ruler.**" Eins said.
"Hmm... Any News?"
"**With my analysis, the Queen is strong enough to face a Transcendent high-stage, alone. Tyson is strong enough to face a Transcendent low-stage... While Jennifer is strong enough to face a true god.**"
"Together?"
"**They could defeat a True god, who's a step to enter the Primordial Realm... But a Primordial will defeat them.**" Eins answered, his head bowed.
"Hmm... My family will need some assistance."
He snapped his fingers, and a set of weapons appeared in front of him, all Mystical-class.
"Give the Bow to my Wife... I know she loves it, and better, it's just like her weapon, just the upgraded version... Give the flaming broadsword to Tyson, the daggers are going to Mira... The light spear, Maria... They did good." He sighed softly:
"I should be the one giving them these, but I still have much time ahead... This task is entrusted to you, Zwei. Drei will accompany you."
"**Yes, Ruler!**"
A light flew out from Michael, and formed another 15 years old looking girl. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"Both of you can go."
The two, both the second, and third blades nodded, and disappeared from the chamber.
'Hmm... I have a question system.'
{Go on.}
'The quests you gave me, which is; I should visit the realms, won't I fail staying in here?'
{No Host... The Quest's timer is calculated with the Abyssal time zone.}
"Good."
Michael nodded... With a thought, Eins turned into a trail of red light, and entered his body.
"Next Blade."
He closed his eyes again.

[Next Day.]
[Second Day in the game.]
"Wake up everyone!! Get ready! We're moving in 15 minutes!!!"
Hearing the loud roar, the players jolted awake; they moved their gazes around the place, and settled it on Blood-Arrow, who was standing before them with hands on her hips.
"Are you deaf!! Get up right now, we move in 14 minutes!!" She yelled at them, and walked away.
"Wait, what happened to sister?" White-Death asked in mild confusion.
"She seems energetic today... What happened last night?" Dark-angel asked, standing up from the ground.
"I don't know." White-Death, who was beside her shrugged, and stood up.
"Ok, Get your things ready!! We have a long journey ahead of us!! Move, move!!"
The two heard Blood-Arrow's yell and looked at one another in horror.
"Why does it feel like we're in a military training camp?" White-Death asked, a little terrified.
"Come on, let's get ready."
Dark-angel quickly removed the blanket on the ground. White-Death, and the rest of the players followed suit.
_
"Move!!"
"Em... Erika, what happened?" Queen-of-death asked, walking towards Blood-Arrow.
"Good that you're here, help me get them ready... We need to start the journey--"
"--I know, but why are you so..." She didn't complete her word, but Blood-Arrow smiled.
"Last time we lose because we were weak and careless... But today! That won't happen!" She said.
"Why is that?" Queen-of-death asked in mild confusion.
"Last night, I left the tree, and entered another landmark, the Gods' grave... I saw more than a hundred thousand monsters, all Lv50 above... If we attack them, think of all those cores, we'll surely break through. Right?" She asked with a smile.
Not only Queen-of-death, everyone present blinked a couple of times, her word still registering in their heads... Moment next:
"WHAT??!!!"
