Chapter 422: The Tough 3rd Stage of Way of Unfettered, Pirates in Trouble
Isabella, Aria, and Lily were with them while Lilith was in her Insight Scroll's effect, so she wasn't present to see the constantly changing expressions of Rin and Erix.
"They just started, so it wouldn't show onto their faces right off the bat," Lily chuckled. "We should begin our training too."
Isabella wryly nodded, "True, but I reckon they will also experience hell no less than what we experienced. It might be even more."
"Aria, how's your progress? You have Aethir's all six transformations, so you should be finishing this stage soon, right?"
Aria nodded and bit her lips, "I also experienced bad things at starting, but you can only use Aethir while you are in that realm and I progressed to the last step already. But this is getting harder..."
Aria sighed. "I need some peace, so I won't practice it today. I need love from Erix to forget about the bad things."
"Don't say it, it's making us weak-willed too," Lily wryly smiled.
"Yes," Isabella nodded with a weak smile. "But we can do this. Erix and Rin will stabilize once their 30 minutes of hell are up, so we should too."
"True, but let's have some fun tonight," Lily said as she looked at Rin and Erix. "I am pretty sure they will want to after finishing their session."
"Let's do training for our Concept progression for 1 hour," Aria said. "We'll use the last 30 minutes for the Way of Unfettered since it only last 30 minutes."
Lily and Isabella agreed. This was the best.
The trio went far away as they started sparring while imagining possibilities and practicing to make progress in their Concepts. Limitless Plane was a perfect place to progress in one's concept since it allowed them to create anything they imagined inside.
Meanwhile, Erix and Rin's emotions started showing on their faces according to what they were experiencing.
From initially normal to anger, helplessness, frustration, rage, and such difficult and troubling emotions.
After 20 minutes, tears manifested on their faces and their bodies trembled, both in Limitless Plane and even physical bodies outside.
At the moment, both of them were in completely different worlds and had different situations and experiences, but one thing was similar—their level of suffering.
After ten minutes and exactly 30 minutes since they began, their eyes shot open. They were bloodshot and their bodies intensely trembled due to the mental strain and despair they just experienced.
"Rin!"
"Erix!"
Both of them shouted at the same time before reality descended and they looked at each other with their messed up experiences.
"W-What the fuck just happened…" Rin mumbled with her lips trembling while she threw herself towards Erix, hugging him tightly.
Erix didn't say anything and just hugged her tightly, shaking even.
"So it was a nightmare…T-That must never come true."
Rin looked up to Erix, relief setting in her eyes as she knew whatever she experienced was not true, and nodded. "That must never happen."
Although both of them experienced different scenarios with different journeys of suffering, the end result had the same level of despairing impact on them.
This experience greatly affected them mentally, with the images still flashing in their minds.
"We'll use the remaining one hour later," Erix said as he grabbed Rin's arms and held her up while hugging her tightly. "Let's go out."
"Mhmm."
Both of them exited the Limitless Plane and entered the Sakura Mansion's bedroom before they started making love without caring for anything.
…
When they left the room, it was already evening, which meant they spent four hours in the room without realizing it.
Walking out, they saw Isabella, Lily, and Aria under the Dreanox Tree, relaxing and eating.
"How was the 3rd stage of Way of Unfettered?" Lily asked with a wry smile.
"Terrible," Erix and Rin said at the same time.
Erix's eyes flashed and he arrived before Lily, Isabella, and Aria who were resting on the sofa, and smiled. "We shall have fun every day after Limitless Plane's session for recovery."
Aria's pout that had formed after seeing Erix and Rin released and she jumped towards Erix before hugging him. "We need it!"
"Completely understandable," Rin said with a dry chuckle as she sat beside them.
"The first one was the most terrible and we had to take a break for three days to recover," Isabella wryly smiled. "It seems you two also experienced the same level and had to go out to establish your reality."
"Yep," Erix laughed," But nothing can stop us. Nothing must stop us from moving forward."
"Alright, Rin and I going back to Limitless Plane to finish the remaining hour."
"Mhmm," Isabella nodded. "It's early, but the food will be ready after an hour. We got some things from the pocket dimension, so I am going to cook new dishes."
"Delicious food was the only bliss for us while you were away in Insight Scroll's training," Lily chuckled.
"Humu," Aria nodded with a grin. "But we are not sleeping until tomorrow morning after eating, okie?"
Erix laughed and pinched Aria's cheeks gently before kissing her, "Absolutely."
Isabella and Lily chuckled.
"We'll be back shortly and then you four can have fun," Rin grinned. "I had my fill."
Erix and Rin sat down cross-legged as their consciousness went into Limitless Plane.
Erix and Rin both started training in the Chaos concept together because it was the most powerful and held the highest potential.
Their paths in the Chaos concept were different, but they could still gain enlightenment from each other's ideas and ways to press their own.
Erix's Chaos Evolution and Rin's Chaotic Stream.
What further evolution and progress they would have in the Chaos concept's 3rd realm was something not even they knew for now.
But they knew it was bound to be a major boost to them once they reached it.
…
Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom's floating continent,
It was 15 times bigger than the Unfettered Kingdom's floating continent.
It moved through the cosmos, but it was not alone. Behind them was a massive space fortress chasing it.
It was way smaller, but the one running was Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom.
Between these two structures were four lights, but if one looked closely, they were four people.
Only Reverend-order could fight in outer space while getting exposed to the cosmic atmosphere.
And while their fight was ongoing amid the chase, sudden news reached there about a certain failure.
Bill and Rani had yet to return back, but they had sent the news of their part failure.
Still, this was going to cost them dearly.
"They got the slaves, but no more Mystic Root influenced?!"
"What the fuck? How did they fail?!"
"King is outside and fighting against Rowen…if he finds this outside, it will affect him enough to get shitted on by that Green bastard."
Everyone turned silent.
The emergency meeting of Executives like Rani and Bill in the meeting room produced heavy air.
After five seconds of silence, one of them spoke, "We have no other choice, but to risk our lives to loot developed worlds. They got slaves, but the burden of cultivating is on us."
"I'll try to see if we can find any other planet under Mystic Root's influence."
"This is hell. Put Rani and Bill on the work NOW. They can't be fucking roaming around with slaves. Tell them to do their best to gather resources on their way no matter the cost."
"Calm down. If they fuck up and even lose the slaves, we'll have a harder time."
"Tell them to send a message on how they failed. Something or someone must have obstructed them. We have to fucking kill them for giving us this crap."
Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom was officially in a deep shit.
