Chapter 471: Separation
The players and Aaron increased their speed, entering the gods' grave without even knowing it.
Whooosh!!
The group felt a chill ran down their spine, making them stop on track. They moved their gazes on the barren landscape around them, with bones shattered all over the place.
"Where are we?" White-death asked, sitting on her eagle.
"I think this is the gods' grave." Dark-angel, who sat beside her answered.
"Ok everyone! Stay on guard!"
Queen-of-death looked over her shoulder, staring at the tiger running towards them... She nodded, and looked away.
"Let's move, Keep up the pace, but make sure not to make any noise."
With that said, Garuda moved forward, the players, followed behind, both airborne and on land.
Aaron who was flying beside her, moved his calm gaze around the place, and shook his head:
"We won't make it."
"Uh?"
Queen-of-death raised an eyebrow, turning her head towards Aaron.
"Why do you say that?!"
"He said that because there is an Ocean 100 miles from here, right in front of us." Drakon said, flying towards them with Campe.
"Sir Drakon is right, I say we change direction." Campe added.
"What happened?" Blood-Arrow flew towards the group, and landed on Garuda.
"There's an Ocean 100 miles from here... She's suggesting we change direction, but with the map, it'll take longer to reach our destination." Queen-of-death answered.
"Hmm... What if we fly over the ocean?" Blood-Arrow asked.
"You saw those monsters under the storm, right?" Aaron asked back.
"Yes."
The group nodded.
"They can't survive without water..."
"Huh?" The group were confused, so Aaron elaborated:
"Without water, those monsters can't move, and survive... Take them as fishes, without being in water they die... And an Ocean is a whole land of water. What if the monsters are in the ocean? And they attack us? What then?"
The group were silent, thinking:
"What about we move higher?! Like keeping a 300 meters distance from the Ocean surface?!" Red-Encounter yelled from below. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
"You guys don't understand... The sea isn't your normal blue clear water, it's completely black... We don't know what's in there, that's why I say we should change direction." Campe said.
"**Sorry, that won't happen.**"
The group turned around, seeing Eins, Zwei, and Drei walking out from thin air. The three using the air as their ground.
"Uh?"
"Who are those guys?"
"Wait! That's the guy who beat the hell out from us!"
"And the girl who healed us!"
"What's happening here?!!"
The players below, and flying behind the group were stunned.
Queen-of-death stared at the three for some seconds, and gestured everyone to land to the ground. The players nodded, and followed her action.

The Conquerors and all the players stood in a circle, staring at one another. The three Blades stood above them, with the walkers, Campe, Drakon, and Shenras.
"Ok, This decision will affect the mission, so I want everyone to give their opinions..." Queen-of-death said.
"We're going to vote?" Niki asked in surprise.
"Yes."
Blood-Arrow nodded, and continued:
"Firstly; This is the situation. Right in front of us is a deep Black Sea, filled with countless powerful Monsters, that can even threaten a Sovereign medal... And you know we can't go back, that isn't an option. So what should we do? Fly above the sea, and we can go highest; 500 meters above the water surface... Or, we change direction, which will take us more than a day to get to the mission... That means, we're going to spend at least 3 more nights in this world before reaching the mountain... So decide."
Silence...
The players looked at one another in confusion, and shock... None were planning on spending a night in this godforsaken world. But if they don't want to, they have to fly over a very dangerous pot... It's like, moving above a volcano, that will erupt at any given second.
After a whole two minutes of thinking, Aaron opened his mouth:
"We fly above."
Queen-of-death: "My plan exactly."
Blood-Arrow: "Same."
Dark-angel: "I think I'll go with sister-in-law and Bestie."
White-death: "Just want to leave this place, and have a good sleep, so I'm going with my sister."
Red-Encounter: "Flying above."
Niki: "Yes... We're flying."
James: "I think we should change direction, that way we're escaping from two disasters."
Scarlett: "Yes, We'll escape from the Storm and also the black waters."
Hearing the two, more people started, and joined.
Out of 35 players, excluding Shenras, Campe, Drakon, the Blades and walkers.
Twenty-four choose to fly over the sea, with the Conquerors being twenty-three... The rest of the group, both fearful of the Black Sea, and Storm chose change direction... They'll rather sleep here for three days, then die.
"The majority wins... We're flying over--"
"--No!!"
Queen-of-death and everyone turned to Mike.
"You all, Especially you, Jennifer! You left my members there to die! And now you're asking us to enter another danger! So... You can leave us again, to die! Not happening!!" The man yelled.
"What are you doing, Love?" The lady held his hand: "The Conquerors helped us, we'll be dead if it weren't for them--"
"--Not need." Queen-of-death observed everyone, some has their heads down.
"You are all silent, don't forget you also ran away... Even your teammates ran away." She scoffed:
"Let me tell you something. This Is VRG, Being Kindhearted is you digging your grave, and those of you who know me, knows that I'm not that kind of player... The people I can only sacrifice my life to save can be counted in one hand, so don't think you're something special... If you want to change direction, go ahead... Besides, you aren't in our team in the first place."
She turned to her Members: "Come on, get ready, we're moving in two minutes."
"What about this kid?! He's going with us--"
"--Hold on there, James... I'm flying above the sea. Oh, and good luck." Aaron said, cutting Mountain off.
"This?!"
Mountain 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! Queen-of-death, I'm going with you!"
"Uh?"
Mountain and his group were stunned, as Scarlett rushed to the Conquerors.
"What are you doing, Scarlett? Your eagle can't fly that high..." Mountain 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." Mountain said.
"Come on, Let start moving, don't forget the Storm!" Mike said, sitting on his tiger.
Mountain 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."
Specter 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.

[On The way.]
"What type of monsters do you think are in the waters?"
Scarlett asked Dark-angel beside her... The two and White-death 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." Dark-angel replied, playing "card game" with White-death.
"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." White-death 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." White-death answered, and turned her head to Dark-angel.
"My Brother-in-law's Life story is deep, and painful... So don't go there." She added.
Scarlett moved her gaze from White-death to Dark-angel, 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." Dark-angel 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.
