CHAPTER 60: TARGETED BY THE UNION

Alfred Late at night he was about to check his location preparing to attack him.

But looking at the Huge computer he noticed something he wasn’t in the radius of the Aspiring city but far away.

He was stunned of how fast he travels the Aspiring city though normal city was Still big in the sense of that No normal E rank would cross in it within a Three days.

it’s also adding up the front lines must should had been noticed him his very injured also adding up he runned so fast surely he would be caught.

But currently the things didn’t go as he expected the Yellow mark was growing faint showing it will soon be gone since it’s already been almost a week.

immediately he marked it down and organize group of D+ Rank.

"To think his so daring too try and Leave." He muttered truly surprised but he couldn’t help but admire him at the same time.

if a Normal E rank was at his position they would have died but right now his even able too Live in the Dark Forest in such extent.

The Group who got picked was rather shocked why are they in a hurry but realizing it’s the B rank Alfred they didn’t retort and immediately prepare themselves.

Alfred also called Lux but he didn’t answer making him have no choice but to just go with group.

"Prepare the Rising jet" Alfred spoke nonchalantly as if what his talking about was nothing.

For a Moment the Groups of D+ Ranked was speechless as one of them spoke.

"Are you sure sir Alfred borrowing one will take quite the sum of Merit points." A Boy spoke youthful in appearance.

"Don’t worry about the cost just go get one for each groups." immediately the Leaders of the group asked for one.

Alfred couldn’t help but sigh of how expensive it will because borrowing one rising jet will take about 1500 Merit points but it’s usefulness was simply too good.

it could atleast travel 1200 Km within just hour in his calculation if they travel now it would take dawn until they reached the Dark forest.

He needed thr Group of people since the Dark Forest terrain was Huge he needed to at least retrieve his body back if he died to the Union.

Currently the Mark were his location are will be gone by dawn so the Group will need to split up catching him.

...

Reo late at night after eating the Food felt much better.

He could not eat food for a very Long time because the higher the Rank the Longer they don’t have to eat at the same time they could automatically clear out impurities in the Body.

But food was a essential one that the body needed to be maintained so no matter how high the Rank is they would still need food.

Currently his left eye vision was still only about 50% and looking at the spatial ring everything is going fine.

He did not rest since he lack time the two clones left were used to get Bear Meat and Woods.

The third clone can’t be used since it had just died and have the Cooldown of atleast a Day.

He looked up the Sky the Stars are abundant and Reo could easily identified the North, East, South and west.

He memorize it and ponders for a very long time to realize they need to go East too reach Chained city.

But at the same time the route wasn’t easy in his memories the next one should be a Terrain of Volcano.

He snapped out in his thoughts as Althea voice can be heard.

"is everything prepared?" Althea spoke yawning at the same time there’s tiredness in her eyes so does Andrea.

"Yea we can’t get any more resources the Spatial ring is full it’s a pity there are no Boar meat sending another one too find one will be quite risky."

Reo spoke standing up and ready to leave at dawn.

The three used the the Bear soft fur combining it with the Snake skin making them have at leastquite comfortable rest while they were waiting.

When the dawn came the three waked up and was ready Andrea easily compromise going outside the Cave with them.

Reo clones was the first one in guard on the way outside filled with Black branches and Red Leafs.

on the way in the path wasn’t smooth there’s alot of danger lurking in since Reo still only have two he needed to be cautious but the Dark Forest was filled with countless danger.

in his Luck the two clones who is always at the first checking the dangers one of the clones sadly was stucked in a spider web but the Aura of B Rank was enough to make Reo abandon the Clone.

The three continued running with only one clone.

"Are you sure Mortal that you won’t help the other clone?" Andrea asked with concern.

Reo was quick to respond.

"it’s too risky something large as that Web will surely have countless of babies if we also got Closed in it we might had gotten swarm by the Babies."

He spoke nonchalantly showing his great experience in traveling.

After he spoke that words Andrea didn’t speak anymore and looked ahead.

She couldn’t help but feel rather useless currently her power is strong that one can barely imagine what it was.

But right now she felt extremely weak that she couldn’t even protect him.

She ponders feeling disheartened maybe if i atleast have 10% no 7% she could summon her Guardian.

if she did a Fragment of it’s power will be released and currently in her estimation it was enough too protect them.

...

Alfred arriving outside the Aspiring city looked at the hologram that his Ring a yellow dot was moving but it soon fades."Going in the east?" He spoke in a Deep voice.

He couldn’t help but felt a pity if maybe he had been cautious he could have catch him by now but currently the Groups of D ranked was approaching the East Side of the Dark Forest.

Time slowly passed as the Groups of people had been surrounding the East filled with artifact detection.

They had make a progress and saw alot of footprints in the way in the next Terrain if the one they hunting actually reached it they wouldn’t dare follow.

First things would be even more troublesome and alot of dangers.

Currently one of their Group was swarmed by a Spider’s eliminating them easily just like that.

The three remaining group seeing lost contact in them become even more cautious the more they follow the more they realized that the one they are chasing at wasn’t alone.

"Sir Alfred currently his route is in the Left side of the Dark Forest until the Volcano terrain i hope Sir could block it for us we don’t think we could catch up."

"The Gap in the start were just too far."

Alfred heard the response and was already at the middle of the Terrain gap between volcano terrain and Dark Forest terrain hearing the respond in the Groups he was expressionless.

"is that so?" He spoke back then goes in the Left side and swept everything in the left side he was dissapointed he realized he was too ahead and actually left him too dust.

When he swept it with his Sense atleast more than 100 Km the one he was aiming at but he was stunned hearing another news by the Group.

"There’s one more thing we had made the conclusion that the one your targeting was wasn’t alone and at least have two other companions."

The Groups wasn’t aware who they are searching and never had thought that they are trying to catch was the one who make the Aspiring city shocked many times.

For a moment Alfred starts pondering his conclusion if it was one of the People in the Nightgazer they encountered it will be troublesome.

But he didn’t think of it since they are very injured at the same time seeing their interaction when they saw Reo they had only made a temporary Deal.

"Maybe his backing?" it was only thing he can thought of since who is foolish enough to offend the Union without certain background.

...

The three had already felt something wrong after few hours of traveling they sensed several aura of a D Rank.

Their aura couldn’t be sense by them because Reo was E ranked and emitted weak aura too weak they can’t catch it and Andrea and Althea don’t have a Rank and couldn’t be sense in normal way.

Reo squeezed out the very last cell of his brain to make out a way in this Predicament.

After thinking about it more he already had conclusion the B ranked and the C+ Ranked he met few days ago might be waiting in the Volcano terrain.

He can’t go back nor go straight he was in the brink of despair.

Althea had been looking at very intently and also made the same conclusion.

But unlike him she already have her way in getting out in the predicament slowly she approached him and patted his head gently.

"Don’t worry trust me." She spoke confidently.
