Chapter 155: Not Again
"No. No one end well in a grave, especially in such a game." The silver hair beauty said, and turned her head back to the Holographic map, and continued:
"I understood Latin... And this here is the safest place... But although it's the safest, we still have to explore all the map's landmarks, so we could get the main map, and can lead you to your destination." She said.
'Wow, she's smart, who is she?' Aaron thought.
"How do you know, we'll have to explore all the landmarks?" A lady asked, raising her head to the beauty.
"Look at the words written on this landmark." The silver hair pointed at the landmark on the top section of the map.
The group turned their heads to the section:
[Termini: Greenwood
Regula: Explorare terminos integros in tabula geographica et percipe tabulam integram ut hominem ad destinationem ducat.]
[Translation: Landmark: Greenwood
Rule: Explore the whole landmarks on the map, and get the complete map to lead the man to his destination.]
The beauty translated everything to the group, while they blinked in surprise.
"You're good, Sister-in-law!!" A young girl with long brown hair exclaimed.
'Hmm... She looks a lot like Michael.' Aaron thought.
"Yes! My sister is the best!" A blonde hair yelled.
"Wow, thanks Erika..."
The blue hair lady smiled and tap the landmark on the app.
{Is this your selected Location?}
The voice asked.
"Guys!"
The group turned to the muscular man, who was moving his gaze on the empty land.
"Everyone is gone." He said in mild surprised.
"...."
The Conquerors and Aaron were momentarily stunned speechless.
"Well, we're here to rank up, not to care about others."
The blue hair lady, who Aaron already took as the leader and strongest in the group, turned her head to the Holographic map, and tap yes.
{Location obtained.}
Before the group, a circular gateway opened... They looked at one another in confusion.
"It seems the location is far off." Aaron muttered.
"That... Or maybe this is just a lobby, the starting point... Beyond this place, is the main game." Erika said.
"Ok, let's go."
The redhead guy walked towards the gateway, followed by the rest of the Elders... Erika and the leader turned to Shenras:
"Saying the truth, we know you aren't an exchange student, and by being here prove it..." Erika turned her head to the leader, then at Shenras.
"We don't know who you are, but thank you."
With that said, she turned around and walked towards the gateway, her overcoat moving with the wind.
Shenras smiled at her: "The Queen is nice." She said.
"Queen?" The leader raised an eyebrow, and Aaron's ears picked up... Then realization struck them:
"Micky sent you?" The leader asked.
"Yes... I'm the third Lord under Ruler Michael."
"Wow, What realm is Micky on?"
Shenras smiled: "He could destroy the whole planet with just a flick of his wrist."
She said, and walked past the stunned leader, heading to the gateway.
Aaron stopped a foot from entering the gateway, and looked at the group over his shoulder;
"Michael? They know Michael? Wait, he could destroy a planet with a wave of his hand? Did he get more powerful?" He muttered under his breath, his face filled with horror.
"Come on, God of the sky. Your powers might have been seal, but that didn't mean you're weak."
Shenras whispered to Aaron, and entered the gateway... Aaron thought for some seconds, and followed.
Queen-of-Death moved her gaze on Reaper and the walkers, sighed and followed.
"Come on!!"
The muscular man, and his group quickly followed behind them, rushing inside the gateway.

[Far North from their location.]
"Where are we?!"
Mrs X asked, moving her gaze on the bones, and skeletons on the ground, skeletons from different type of creatures... Mostly humanoid.
"I don't feel so good!"
Mrs X and the four men turned their heads to the young man, who has a painful expression on his face, clenching his chest.
"What's wrong with him?!! Check him!!"
She yelled.
"Yes!!"
One of the teammates quickly rushed to the man, but that exact moment, he exploded... Sending blood and flesh all over the place, bathing the man.
"This?!"
The old Woman, and the four men were stunned.
Whizzzd!!
They watched in surprise, as the flesh moved towards the spot the man exploded, and started merging, taking the sharp of a humanoid figure.
Whoosh!!
Mrs X turned around, and yelled: "Down!!!"
The four men, who were all diamond medal holders quickly got down with her words... More than five bones flew out from all directions, merging with the flesh.
They watched while on the ground, with pure horror, as the surrounding blood rose into the air, and enveloped the figure.
BOOM!
A small explosion occurred, scattering the blood all over the place.
"GRRAAAAAAA!!!!!!"
Its roar created a loud sound wave, pushing the old woman and the four men meters away.
"What the... Fuck!"
She stood up from the ground, the other players jumped to their feet... Staring at the abomination before them... It was shapeless, with a huge lion skull as its head, with Bones all over the body. Two scythe made up its hand, and six legs bones made up its legs.
"It seems we picked the wrong one!" Mrs X said in shock.
"GRAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
"How can we fight this?! It's a fucking Lv80 Monster!!" A man yelled.
"We have two options here." The woman said, looking at the four over her shoulder.
"First; We Run... Or we fight?" She added.
The four looked at one another, and gripped their weapons.
"This is a Lv80 monster, together we can defeat it!!" One said. Stay connected via empire
"Yes, and the Loot will be good! Come on! I choose attack!!" Another said.
"We attack!!" The third roared.
They all turned to the woman, who chuckled to herself, looking at her feet: "Ok, we attack."
"GRAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
A powerful sound wave, spread all over the place, pushing the five players some steps backwards
"Attac--"
Before she could yell attack, they froze, seeing the bones around them moving.
"Are these?!"
Whoosh!!!!
The whole skeletons stood up from the ground... Red lights appeared in their skull's eye sockets.
"Lv50 Monsters!! They're thousands!!"
The five moved backward in horror, seeing the sea of skeletons all over the place.
"These are all warriors! And I don't want to add to the number!!" A man said in mild horror, still moving backward in fear.
"You... Will... DIE!! GRAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
"Ahhhh!!!"
The group Instantly dropped to their knees, holding their ears.
"Such psychic power!! We can't defeat such a monster!! It's only a Lv80, but with these powers, only a grandmaster or sovereign can match it!!" Another said.
"KILL!"
With the monster's command, the whole Skeletons soldiers stretched forth their hands, and rusty Swords appeared... Without hesitation, they shot towards the five figures... Who were still on their knees.

Erika, Aaron and the group appeared in the greenwood, and slowly moved their gazes on the green trees, and plants... Everything around them was, and only, green.
"Ok, where to now?"
The red hair guy asked, turning his head to Aaron.
"Don't know." Aaron answered, and moved his gaze on the paths.
"Wait, what are you looking for Kid? This place is very dangerous, so what's your deal in such a place?!" Another blonde hair asked with a deep frown.
"My deal is private, I don't know the route to my destination, but I know it's a mountain, and my target is on the peak of this mountain." Aaron said In a calm tone.
"What?! Are we going to scale a mountain?!!!" A young lady with long black hair asked in shock.
"I think so, our objective is to lead him to his destination, even if it's on the peak, we'll take him there."
The blue hair lady said, moving her gaze on the green trees.
"Yeah, easy for you Vice... You, Miss Erika, and Tyson could fly, although we can, that doesn't mean we can move that high." A guy yelled, not happy with the Idea.
"Fly? That's a good Idea... Come on, Erika."
The lady ignored his complaint, and shot into the air, planning on seeing their location from above.
Erika nodded, and followed behind her.
"Do you feel something strange about that Kid?" She asked.
"I noticed some, he doesn't behave like his age." Erika answered.
"That, and why is he going to the peak of a mountain? An Ice mountain at that." The leader sighed:
"And Reaper, and the others knows him! Does that mean he knows Micky?"
"That's highly possible, We'll know more when we return, Jennifer." Erika muttered in a low voice.
The moment the two reached the top, they froze.
"Not again!"
The girls said in unison.
_____
Aaron and the team watched as Jennifer and Erika landed on the ground.
"What did you see?" The young blonde hair asked.
"Well, we saw nothing... Only green, and a gigantic tree some miles north." Erika answered, staring at the northern direction.
"Hmm... What do you guys think? Should we explore the tree?" A guy asked.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Ricky... We saw some tiny dots circling the tree. And I know those are Monsters." Jennifer turned to Aaron.
"Don't you have anything to help us?" She asked.
Aaron thought for a moment, and rubbed the ring on his finger... An ancient looking compass appeared in front of the group.
Aaron took the compass and slowly opened the lid... The arrows started spinning, and after a whole one minute, it pointed at the North.
"Ok, That's fake." The red hair guy said, already on the ground.
"It's not fake, and My mum gave it to me." Aaron revealed, moving his gaze on the compass.
"Mum? Of course, you'll have a Mum... But why would any Mother let their son come to this dangerous place?" The black hair lady asked in mild confusion.
"*Because Aaron isn't just a child, He's a god... The god of the sky.*"
"What?!"
".....!!"
