MTLNOVEL Chapter 462: Geist
"Ok, If you're right... Remember I say, "If". How are we going to escape?" Red-flower asked.
"Follow the compass." Aaron said.
"Yeah, follow the compass. What do you think we have been doing all this while?!!" Shadow yelled at him.
"Enough." Queen-of-death turned her head to Aaron. "Where to?"
"Well... still North." Aaron said.
"Ok, we moved after ten minutes." She said, and walked towards a location.
Red-Encounter stared at her for some seconds, and followed.
"Ok... What now?" Mountain asked, turning his head to the elders.
"Nothing, just rest, but don't lower your guard." Blood-Arrow said.
White-death and Dark-angel looked at one another, and nodded... Before they could move, Reaper and the Commanders stood behind them...
"Don't worry, we aren't going anywhere." Dark-angel said with a smile.
Reaper only nodded his head, not saying anything.
Aaron moved his gaze on the Elders, then Mountain and his group, Dark-angel, White-death and the walkers.
"Hmm... They are all in the same overcoat. But this guy who called himself James and his teams don't have the outfit... That means, these are the main members of this "The Conquerors" maybe the Elders." He muttered in a low voice, staring at the group.
Whooosh!!
The group all turned their heads to the trees, feeling the cold wind brushing past their skins.
Queen-of-death removed her head from Red-Encounter's shoulder, and looked around the place.
"Something is wrong."
Blood-Arrow summoned her bow, her gaze sharp.
The elders all summoned their weapons, and quickly surround Aaron.
Whooosh!!!
Apate moved her crimson gaze around their surroundings, and said: "*Everyone, Close your eyes! Don't open unless I say so...!*"
The Conquerors looked at one another in confusion, and turned to Apate.
"What is she saying?" Scarlett asked in a low voice.
Whoosh!!!!
The wind instantly got colder, and a dark fog moved towards them with insane speed.
"*Now!!! Or you all die!!*" She yelled.
"Do it!!" Blood-Arrow nodded. She rushed to White-Death and Dark-Angel and covered their eyes with her palms, also shutting hers.
Aaron also closed his eyes, and the rest followed suit, leaving the walkers.
Whooooosh!!!!!
The think fog covered the group, and stopped around them...
"---Screech---"
Apate, Reaper, Zelus, Azazel and Abyss stared at the figure in black robe made from pure darkness, its face, and every part of its body concealed.
"---Abyssal Inhabitants? Why are you in my world?---"
A voice, which sounded like both a male and female sounded...
"*We aren't here for war, and you won't want that in your realm... Geist.*" Apate said.
"---Oh, I won't.---" The figure walked towards them, stopping ten meters.
"---But you know my rule, Apate... I kill anyone who enters my world, and I mean anyone.---" Geist looked at Blood-Arrow, White-Death, and Dark-Angel behind the five.
"---You are powerful, Apate... But you can't defeat a Primordial, who is one step to enter the sage... You're still a child girl, So stay back from this.---"
"I know you never go back from your words, and Rules... But if you put even a scratch on any of them... This world you're so fond of protecting will be destroyed in a minute... You don't want to anger the Abyss."
Shenras opened her eyes, and walked towards the figure.
"---Shenras?! Why are you here?--" Geist moved backward in surprised.
"I'll give you two options, Leave, or Die? Oh! Don't stop us next time." She said.
The dark harrow face, moved from Shenras, to the five walkers.
"---Your new King is exceptionally powerful, but without him here you can't stop me… Look around, this is my world, and nothing can---"
BOOOOOOOM!!!!
A dense amount of pressure instantly fell on the Figure. Geist looked up with difficulty, seeing a vortex opening above them.
"You dare have the gut to say that?! One more word from you, and your world will be destroyed."
"---"........"---"
Geist was stunned, it moved backward in fear, at of the moment, it was the prey, while the two figures above were the predators.
Drakon and Destroyers hovered above the group, their gazes cold.
"*Let's just kill him.*" Yers said, and looked down at Reaper:
"*The Ruler received your message, and sent us here.*"
Reaper nodded. The news about the five S-Rank gates is a serious thing, so he sent a message to Michael... Which result to these two appearing.
Whoosh!!!!
"---No-No. I apologize... Please give my heartwarming greetings to the Abyssal Ruler.--- But...---"
Drakon raised an eyebrow:
"---I kill the others, And anyone who breaks my rules.---"
"As Long it's not The Conquerors, you're allowed to do whatever you like." Shenras said.
"---Thank you.---"
Geist sharply turned its head to a distance tree. It threw its hand towards the direction, and with a clench of its fist... Mrs X flew out from her hiding spot, and fell in front of Geist.
"Please..."
Whoosh!!
Her head flew into the air, and fall heavily on the ground... Then Geist turned around to the group:
"---Your really kept your word.---"

Hearing nothing for so long, a guy in Mountain's team slowly opened his eyes... The moment he saw Geist, he instantly grabbed his chest.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
He screamed in pain. Hearing the scream, the other shivered, but none dare open their eyes.
"---I didn't cause that, You do know no mortal can look at me, right?---"
"Well, he's not an elder anyway. Wait, do you know a way out of this forest?" Shenras asked.
"---Just keep going North, You're not far from the exit, It'll only take you 100 kilometers.---"
Shenras nodded, and Geist turned into smoke, merging with the fog... Which flew away from the group.
"We'll be going... Don't worry, we'll stay in the shadows." Drakon said, and both him and Destroyers disappeared from the forest.
After a whole minute, Apate finally opened her mouth:
"You can all open your eyes now."
Everyone slowly opened their eyes, and were speechless, seeing the headless body before them.
"Uh? Isn't that the old lady?" Red-Encounter asked in mild surprised.
"Lio!!"
Scarlett exclaimed seeing their dead teammate.
Everyone turned their heads to the young player, and was horrified seeing both his eyes were burnt off... You could see the holes, and blood flowing out.
"WHAT HAPPENED?!!!!"
Mountain roared, turning his head to Apate.
"*He disobeyed the instruction.*" She answered in a flat tone.
"Disobey Instruction?! I didn't even hear anything. Now I opened my eyes, and sew one of my members dead! What do you expect me to think?!!"
"*You can think anything you want to... I don't care.*" She said.
"You!!"
Before he could attack, A long sword appeared in front of him, pointing directly at his neck.
"Move, and die..."
He looked at Blood-Arrow, and lowered his gaze to the sword aiming at his neck.
"You are stopping me?" He asked with a frown.
"No one force you to follow us, he died because he couldn't close his eyes, and you dare blame others!!" She said, her gaze cold.
'This is Fun.' Aaron thought.
Mountain gritted his teeth, and turned around in frustration, walking away.
Blood-Arrow stared at Mountain's back for some seconds, and lowered her sword.
"Calm down, Erika... He gets it... But, how did this old woman appear here? And where is her team?" Queen-of-death asked.
"Maybe they're all dead." Dark-angel guessed.
"My thought exactly... But, we need to clarify." Queen-of-death turned her head to Reaper and Apate.
"What really happened here?"
"*The owner of this world killed them.*" Apate gave a straight answer.
"Uh?"
"..."
Everyone was confused.
"The owner? How powerful is he?" Blood-Arrow asked.
"*A Primordial, Peak stage at that.*" Reaper answered, and turned to the Northern direction.
"Then why didn't he kill us? He's stronger than all of us combined." Red-Encounter asked, standing up after observing the guy.
"*Because you're the Ruler's family... It will never do anything that will put his realm in danger.*"
"So the guild master can destroy this world?" Crusher asked in mild awe.
"*The Ruler can destroy even the core of this planet, so it'll be an overkill... The soldiers will act.*" Zelus said.
The group nodded with smiles on theirs faces.
'Should I try to spar with him again? Maybe I might win.' Aaron thought, and quickly removed it from his mind.
'I can't even touch him in the last battle, how can I defeat him now?' He added.
The young lady turned to mountain. "James, have you seen the Guild Master in person?"
"No, Only on TVs, Social medias and other networks... But I have never met him." He looked at the dead guy's face for some seconds, and sighed:
"I promised to take him back safely... I promised all of you this! But I failed." He said.
The three looked at one another and shook their heads:
"What are you saying Team leader? Mrs Brian was right, It's because Lio didn't follow the instruction, that's why he died... Not because of you."
Mountain exhaled: "It won't happen again."
The three nodded their heads.
_
"Ok, Everyone!! Get ready!! We move now!" Queen-of-death yelled.
The members nodded, and got ready for the journey.
"Now, to the Tree."
