Chapter 2287 Group Gathered for Departure
A few weeks after hearing from their Supervisor at the Law Enforcement Hall of the opportunity they would have, Minos, Ruth, and two of their companions who had until recently been at The Blue Field were leaving the guild headquarters.
That level 106 alien had done as promised to help Minos get his remaining companions into the guild.
The two were not yet official members of Armhands. Still, if their team succeeded in the mission they were setting out to complete, they would receive their official entry into the guild as a mission prize.
In addition to these two individuals, one of whom was level 98 and the other level 99, there were four other Grandmasters in the group that Minos would lead on the mission to The Obsidian Shore.
In addition to these 6 individuals alongside Minos and Ruth, there were also Rhett and 3 other Sovereigns, two of them level 104 and one of them level 105.
They would accompany the group to and from this mission, just as the Law Enforcement Hall Supervisor had told Minos.
Finally, Minos and his group said goodbye to the rest of their people who were staying behind in the guild and would soon leave the area protected by the wall at the top of that floating area.
After using the second exit from this place, the group was soon in the same place that Minos and his people had gone to years ago when they had gone on the mission to The Bellowing Garden.
This time, Minos and Ruth were more accustomed to traveling by that means of transport and could handle the journey to that point more easily.
Their companions who had just come from The Blue Field suffered the most, having never before experienced such extreme methods of travel.
Once the group was back on their feet, the Sovereigns began to guide them on the journey that would last five months just to get to the vicinity of The Obsidian Shore.
The Obsidian Shore was far away, outside the alien-friendly area, which had Examire as its most important city.
As such, the round trip would cost the group around 10 months, and the time they would have to stay in that place to carry out the mission.
The time for their return could vary from 1 to 11 years, considering the maximum and minimum time they could stay in that area.
As soon as they started flying towards their destination, the group leader, a level 105 individual, said, "Until we reach The Obsidian Shore, I don't want any of you taking risks or getting into trouble. We'll make three stops in cities on the way to our target, but your focus will be on meditating and following our orders.
Let the other Sovereigns in the group, and I take care of any situations that arise. And don't worry about your safety. We'll make sure you survive the trip. Whether you will survive in that place will depend on you.
There won't just be natural hazards in the area you'll be entering in a few months. Other forces, such as Armhands, should already be sending their strongest Grandmaster members into the area. So be prepared to fight competitors and defend yourselves against the dangers of the area."
Everyone in the group listened in silence, understanding that they would have to act when they entered the special area where the mission from long ago had uncovered something relevant to the guild leaders.
As the group moved through the forests near Examire, Minos asked his two companions from the Spiritual World.
"How was your time in The Blue Field?"
Although these individuals had already been at the guild's headquarters for a few days, they hadn't had any contact with Minos and the rest of the group until this morning.
One of the two Spiritual World natives sighed and said. "The Blue Field is terrible, Your Majesty. That place is even worse than the Spiritual World under the devastating effects of the Ice Age.
We had a lot of work every day and barely any time to cultivate or train. If it hadn't been for this mission and your request, it would probably have taken us a few decades to improve enough to officially enter the guild by traditional methods."
"The good thing about that place is that we now value our lives and powers more, and any icy weather we face will be easier to resist," the other man said with a bitter smile.
"The important thing is that you're on our side now," Ruth said to them. "Now we're going to fulfill this mission, and you're going to become Recruits of the guild.
With the help of the rest of the group, you'll likely be able to become Rank-and-File Soldiers or even Elite Soldiers in no time.
"I hope so... But I hope I don't delay the plans of the rest of the group." The stronger of the two said, looking at Minos and Ruth.
Minos commented, "Don't worry. Over the last few years, we've collected a lot of merit points in the guild, and we can help you grow quickly there.
Even if you don't become Sovereigns by the end of this trip, you'll be able to do so within a short time of joining the guild.
Anyway, it will be over a decade before we can return to the Spiritual World. So don't think you're going to slow us down. Returning to our world won't be easy, let alone quick."
"But is there a method?" The level 98 man asked.
They didn't know anything about what Minos' group had learned over the last few years.
Ruth said to them both. "Yes, there is. We'll have to get to that island to the north, which will require us to overcome dangers even for Sovereigns. But if we manage to get there, reaching the universal space station on Zocarro's artificial moon will be easy. From there, we can go to a galaxy close to the galaxy where the Mechanic Empire is located."
"Oh? I see. Once we get there, we can quickly return to our world through the universal wormhole." One of the two individuals said.
"Yes, that's our plan," Minos commented. "But there will be a long way to that world. We'll undoubtedly have many challenges on the way, so try not to think about it too much. Just focus on getting stronger and helping us in our missions.
Eventually, we'll be closer enough to those goals to think about the details."
The two agreed before turning their attention to the rest of the group and flying off together with those many beings following the Sovereigns' command.
They would travel quietly for the next few weeks, until they left the alien-friendly territory that had Examire at its center.
Their journey to The Obsidian Shore would have its dangers, its ups and downs, but eventually, the group would reach that place in one piece!
