One hour before the sun could rise, Jake was unable to keep sleeping, so he decided to cook something. He didn't know anything about the food that it could be found in the spaceship, and it was mostly frozen stuff, but he still managed to make some soup out of that for everyone. Extra spicy to give that extra energy…
"It has been a while since I ate something this strong, but it was pretty good," Julian said. "I understand now why Lana only talked about his cooking."
"I told you, being good at cooking is the only redeeming quality that Jake has," Lana said while sweating a lot due to the spiciness of the soup.
After resting for half an hour, the group finished their preparations, and when the first sun rays began to cross that planet, they headed to the world that Virigilius told them. It was that world of the electric bats, but from there, they had to use the dungeon crystal.
Around the same time they appeared there, many groups began to show up around, but Jake ignored them and kept moving. He was planning to be the tip of the spear of that operation… that might put the others in a difficult spot, but it would be better if they get as much strength as possible, just in case.
"I thought they would guard this world since it is the only path we can use to reach the other…" Lana said.
"The weather conditions and the terrain makes our destination a better place to ambush people and defend," Virgilius explained. "Even considering their numbers and the powers offered by their leaders, they are being a lot more cautious than expected."
When Jake and his team arrived at the final part of the dungeon, they found Frederick, Milena, and Helena already there with their respective groups. It seemed that they imagined that Jake would ignore the other groups and just go straight ahead.
"It seems that I read you the right way," Frederick said. "I hate to admit it, but we can't compare to your group when it comes to attacking power, so while you head straight into the enemy's lines, we will attack the sides and support you all and prevent you from being surrounded."
Jake at least nodded, even though Frederick and the others didn't have any other choice in the matter. While his stubbornness was a problem, it was a fact that making his group dash as fast as possible was their best option. The worst thing in a battle against numbers was the possibility of letting that become a war of attrition… the smaller side would always win, after all.
"I wish you all good luck… let those guys rest and free them from their torment," Frederick said.
"Be careful out there as well, Frederick," Lana said. "Try not to get yourself killed, Luke. We will see each other again, Rose. Definitely."
Those guys nodded, and then Rose began to contact the team leaders and made them enter the dungeon. Once the first few groups arrived. The four main parties touched the crystal, and then they were teleported to a world completely taken by now. The winds were weak, but the cold was piercing everyone's skin. Even though the black ops uniform was helping them quite a bit, Regardless, something else was about to pierce their Bodies as well…
Several giant blue birds flying around appeared in the distance and then began to fire Ice Spears like machine guns, but Frederick fired some earth spears from the ground and stopped them.
"Virgilius, which direction?" Jake asked.
"Three o'clock, three hundred kilometers away," Virgilius replied.
"It seems that the trip will last for a while…" Jake said.
The enemies made their base quite far away from the starting point, but that was to be expected… in any case, the attacks of the monsters lured others in, and the number of attacks increased. However, more humans began to show up as well, and they fired arrows at the enemies while Frederick stopped the ice spears.
"Let's get going, we don't have time to waste, and we have a lot of ground to cover," Jake declared.
Once more allies showed up, Frederick, Helena, and Milena's group quickly followed Jake. It was hard to cross the area with that thick snow, but Jake melted the path ahead with his dark flames. Thanks to that, they had an easy time finding them when they were attacked by a group of ice trolls. That didn't happen even one kilometer away… so it seemed that the area was surrounded by monsters.
Frederick's group arrived in time to see Jake singlehandedly killing twenty of those monsters in less than ten seconds. He easily pierced the chest of one enemy and then kicked their heads with Explosive Touch and charged in the air toward the others… it was so fast, and he moved without making any sound. Thanks to that, the ice trolls didn't have the time to react… However, a massive swarm of giant ice birds was coming from the direction of their destination, and a massive snow cloud was emerging from the ground in the distance as well.
"You guys can deal with the flying enemies," Jake declared.
That was less than half of the monsters moving toward them, Frederick was sure of that, and yet, Jake was confident in dealing with an army of ice trolls that hundreds of his allies had a hard time dealing with two days ago. Still, there was no time to worry or talk about that.
"You guys should also don't move from this spot. Only attack the enemies that approach," Jake said to his team.
"I won't be able to heal you if I can't see you," Lana said.
"Don't worry, the sword doesn't increase my attack power, but increases my recovery by ten thousand points," Jake said.
"Ten thousand?" Lana said while looking at Arilene waiting for answers.
"You guys didn't believe that story?" Arilene asked.
