"Tell us the truth, Reaper! Whatâs going on here?! First; Shenras. Second; the blades, who didnât kill us but let us go, and the second even healed all of us! Now Drakon, and Campe... If my memories prove me right, sheâs the guardian of the abyssal, and Michael is the Ruler of Abyssal... Tell us the truth."
Reaper moved his gaze from Jennifer, to Erika, and sighed; not knowing what to say.
âTell them.â
Michaelâs voice sounded in his head, which made him sighed in relief.
"*Yes, Michael sent everything.*"
"Everything? You mean those blades? And the one who nearly killed us?" Erika asked with a frown.
"*Not kill, Train... He wanted to see how far you guys have gone. You two know it, the first Blade has the strength to kill all of you... And if heâs really an enemy, we would all be dead by now.*"
The two looked at one another, and turned to Reaper.
"What about those monsters? Because they were working for the blade." Jennifer asked.
"*Well, I think the blades scared them, thatâs why they obey him... And these monsters... I think someone else controlled them.*"
Reaper paused, and continued:
"*You guys arenât safe in this world, a Primordial goddess is after everyone... Thatâs why the Lord asked me, and the others to protect you, including Drakon, Campe, Havoc, Eins, Zwei, and I think Destroyers.*"
"Wait, Destroyers?" Erika was surprised, this name sounded familiar to her.
"*Yes.*"
Reaper nodded, and continued:
"*And Five S-Rank gates appeared in Amerisa, after you guys entered the game.*"
"WHAT!!!!!"
The two girls yelled in shock, while Aaron was stunned.
âFive S-Rank gates? Whatâs that?â He thought.
"What do you mean there are gates in Amerisa?!!" Erikaâs voice attracted the attentions of the group.
"What gates?" Tyson rushed to the three.
"Reaper... Reaper said 5 S-Rank gates appeared in Amerisa, Bermuda island."
"Bermuda island?" Sunny walked towards them in mild surprised.
"Yes, the same island!" Erika said.
"Thatâs why Partner sent us, he wonât be able to leave his location, but we can." Drakon walked towards them.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
"Huh?"
"...."
The group turned their heads to Aaron:
"The faster we finished this, the quicker you guys return to your world." He said, jumping down Calamity.
"Hmm... He has a point. We move after absorbing the cores, we donât know whatâs waiting for us in the godsâ grave. We need all the strength we can get."
Jennifer turned to Tyson.
"Are the soul essences evenly distributed?" She asked.
"Well, these guys said The Conquerors did all the fighting, so we should have more cores."
He snapped his fingers, and a huge flaming lion walked towards him, dropping the cores on the ground.
Jennifer and Erika moved their gazes on the bags and turned to Tyson.
"How did you get the bags?"
"Donât you know me, Love? I can do anything." Tyson said with a please smile.
Jennifer rolled her eyes, and turned to Erika.
"This might take some minutes, but absorb as fast as you can."
"Isnât that dangerous?" Chris asked with a slight frown.
"Yes, but not to us... Weâre above the Sovereign medal, and these cores wonât have any strong effect on us..."
Jennifer sat on the ground, in a meditating posture, and closed her eyes.
The players looked at one another and followed suit, also sitting on the ground, closing their eyes.

Aaron, Drakon and the walkers moved their gazes around the place, and turned to the cores given to them.
Reaper moved his to Mira, without her knowing. Apate moved hers to Erika and Azazel to Jennifer and so on... While Aaron turned to his own, and with a thought, the cores shattered and entered his body.
"No change." He sighted, not feeling any energy in him...
{All Seeing Eyes.}
{Ding!!}
{You gained a clue.}
{Clue: Sacrifice.}
Aaron thought for a moment, and snapped his fingers.
"Wait."
He turned his head to Calamity: "Calamity."
"Yes, Master?"
The Six-headed dragon answered in a low voice.
"What do you think merging with me?" Aaron asked.
Calamity moved its gaze from Aaron to the players around. "Isnât that dangerous to them?" It asked.
"I know itâs dangerous to them, thatâs why we wonât do it here, but I want to know... Will you?"
"Yes." Calamity answered without hesitation.
"You do know what will happen to you, right?" Aaron asked again.
"Yes Master, My soul will disintegrate, and Iâll die..."
"Yes." Aaron nodded.
"I was already dead, Master. You resurrected me, so giving my life for you doesnât matter, as long I can be of help." It said.
"Thank you old friend, My world is now in peace, and I think grandfather needs you back." Aaron pointed a finger at Calamity.
Whooosh!!!!
To calamityâs shock, it turned into countless color of lights, and flew towards Aaron.
"*Whatâs he doing?*" Apate asked with a frown.
"*He is breaking the rules in this world, by sacrificing a soul to gain his full powers.*" Azazel answered.
BOOOOOOOOOM!!;
A dense amount of energy burst out from Aaron, heading straight to the players.
"Shit! Thatâs dangerous!! Defenc-- Uh?" Drakon was stunned, as the energy stopped, and flew back to Aaron, entering his body.
"Did he just manipulated his own energy outburst?" Shenras asked in mild confusion.
Whoosh!!
Aaron shot into the sky, countless energies moving all over his body... And with a sonic Boom!
Calamityâs soul spirit appeared behind him.
{Powers Restored.}
"Good... My powers are fully restored." Aaron said with a smirk.
"*.....*"
The Walkers were stunned.

[External Ice mountain.]
The old man slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the distance:
"Finally... Good Job, Kid... Keep it up, and you might reach here." He said, and closed his eyes again.

[One hour later.]
BOOOM!!
Aaron, Drakon, Shenras, and the walkers watched as the Humans broke through one at a time, entering the ranks above theirs.
Jennifer, Tyson, Erika, and Chris opened their eyes, their faces dark.
"This! Why canât we realm up?!" Chris asked with a frown, getting up from the ground.
"I think because weâre above the Sovereign medal, these cores are useless to us." Jennifer said, standing up.
"Then how are we going to realm up?" Tyson asked.
"I think, Micky will know the answer to that, for now... Letâs move, we donât have much time." Jennifer said.
Erika moved her gaze around the place, and settled it on Mira and Maria, who were now grandmasters... She smiled lightly, and her face instantly got serious.
"Guys, I think we should go! I mean right now!!"
The group turned to her, and was stunned by what they saw.
BOOOOOM!!!
A dark, and huge storm was currently moving towards them, red lightnings striking occasionally on the ground.
"Oh My God!!"
They turned to the remaining five who were still absorbing the cores.
"Shit!! We canât wake them, thereâll be backlash, and they might lose their lives!" James said, staring at the storm.
"What should we do?" Robert asked.
Jennifer stared at the five, who were among the team which joined them, and sighed helplessly.
"We wake them, they explode with the person who got close to them... And if we donât, the storm will kill them!"
She took a deep breath and exhaled:
"Thereâs no other option, We leave them!"
She turned around, and started walking.
"What?! No! Iâm not leaving them behind!!" The young man In huge armor said.
"Suit yourself."
Jennifer answered, not even looking at him.
"*FUCK!!*"
Zelus summoned his sword, staring at the storm.
"*What happened?*" Apate asked with a frown.
"*Use your eyes of darkness*" Campe said, her face dark.
Apate, Drakon, Aaron, Reaper and the group. Those who could used any skills which could increase the eyesight, seeing tens of miles away; instantly used it.

SCREECH!!!
SCREECH!!!!
A Scorpion-like monsters with three tails, and maw filled with razor sharp teeth, was moving towards them, right beneath the Storm.
{All seeing eyes.}
{Name: Scorpion. Class: Celestial. Info: light and dark magical Monsters [Highly Dangerous].}
"The storm isnât the main threat!! Those things are all Lv200, celestial realm monsters!! Staying back will only get us killed!!" Aaron said.

Without hesitation, the group started running... They leaped into the air, and landed on their pets, shooting forward... Aaron was ahead of the group.
The man looked at his team, who have already started running with the conquerors... He then turned to the remaining five, who were still absorbing the cores.
"This?!"
He looked up at the storm, which was getting dangerously close.
"Fuck this!!"
Before he could do anything, a girl finished absorbing her cores, and opened her eyes... She moved her confused gaze around seeing only the young man, and the other four.
"Where...?" Her words trail off seeing the rest of the players running... With utter confusion, she turned her head around, seeing the Storm moving towards her.
"Ahhh!!!"
She stood up in horror, but the guy grabbed her wrist.
"Good that youâre done! Come on, love! Weâre going!!"
"Uh? What about these guys, Mike?"
"Leave them! This is VRG, not some helping ground!!"
He turned to the Huge Tiger. "Come on! Letâs get out of here!!"
The five meters tall Tiger moved towards them, and the two got on it, with one last look at the four, he commanded:
"Move!"
Yellow lights appeared on the Tigerâs body, and with a Boom. It shot forward.

[15 Minutes Later.]
The group finally finished absorbing their cores, and opened their eyes in unison.
"Yes!! I canât believe it!! I entered the Elite medal!!"
"Wow!! Finally, a grandmaster!!"
The four were celebrating, before realization struck them.
"Where is everyone?" One asked.
BOOOM!!
The four looked up, as clouds covered the sky, rain pouring down on them.
"Uh? Rain?" The grandmaster was stunned.
SCREECH!!!!!!!!
The group turned around in horror, seeing dark figures moving towards them with incredible speed.
"What the hell is that?!"
Whoosh!!
"NOOOOOO!!!!!"
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
