Chapter 450 Shorter Route

Everyone looked at the clouds as they were passing through them and they noticed that lightning began forming around them and they exchanged glances, then Scott glanced at the clouds and his eyes narrowed.

The others wondered whether or not the ship would hit and as the lightning around them began stretching, they looked at it carefully and Scott smiled a little.

The lightning got worse and formed an attack, which was heading toward the ship and at the same time, Dral stepped forward with his eyes glowing and he released a small amount of the energy from his body.

The energy stretched across the ship and the lightning came to a halt and the others looked on as it was pulled back and they looked at Dral then he returned to normal, as the ship continued moving forward smoothly.

Everyone looked at Dral then he exhaled deeply before turning towards them and they smiled at him then thanked him and he grinned.

"I am from here as well, that sort of alerted the others, who were the ones that placed certain things within the clouds and because of my energy, they were able to know where we were and helped in stopping it from damaging the ship," he said and they smiled at each other then approached him and he exhaled deeply.

"We will be leaving here now, to get back there," Dral said and Adora glanced at Alix and he smiled a little before nodding and her brows furrowed.

"Yeah and once we get back, a little more things will become clear, especially about what we may have to do in the future," Alix replied and Dral glanced at him then his eyes narrowed and Adora sighed.

"You are right, it will become a bit clearer than it was before, then we will know what move to make next, it's all going to get a little bit more complicated though and there are already a lot of people, that are involved in this now," Dral said and Alix nodded then Adora sighed and looked down.

"There are indeed a lot of people involved now, well, no matter what it is, we will have to handle it, no matter what, too many people have gotten caught up in it and everything is because of them, they will get what's coming to then, that's for sure," Alix replied and Dral nodded.

After hearing them speak, Adora looked down at the clouds and just then, she noticed that it was clearing up, getting tinner and tinner by the second and her brows furrowed.

"Are we close to getting out completely?" Adora asked and Dral glanced at her and then sighed as he noticed what was going on as well.

"Yeah, we are, also not just close, we are out of those clouds now, we are not within their territory anymore," Dral responded Adora smiled at him and then sighed.

"Scott, can you take the ship up, into more of the clouds now?" Alix asked and Scott glanced at him then smiled.

"Yeah, of course I can, I will do it, we can't just stay out in the open like this either, can we?" Scott asked.

"No, we can't, that would make us a slightly easy target," he responded.

"Then, I will go ahead and do what I need to, don't worry," he said as he walked away and they smiled at him, seeing how he is always eager to take the wheel.

As he went up to move the ship higher in the air, in order to hide them, just in case they bumped into trouble, hoping that they would not, Alix looked at Adora and she closed her eyes as the cold wind, brushed against her cheeks.

"Enjoying the fresh air?" he asked and she glanced at him and he smiled at her.

"Yeah, I am, it's nice up here," she responded and he nodded as he looked down and scoffed, when he saw how high up, Scott took them.

"Alix, are you really ready to address my father and the others when we get back?" she asked and he glanced at her, with his eyes narrowed.

"Look at me and get your answer, Adora," he responded with a smirk and her brows furrowed as she stared at him and he leaned in closer to her.

"W- What are you doing?" she asked and he glanced at her.

"What do you think?" he asked as he looked at her.

Adora shrugged at his question and he smiled then moved her hair from before her face, placing it behind her ear and her cheeks flushed a little.

"Relax, I am not crazy, I am not going to do that here, when you are ready only then will I let them know as well," he said as Kyris called out to him and he looked at the guy then sighed.

"What is it, Kyris?" he asked.

"Let's talk about a few things, including about whom you may bump into once we get back, I heard from Scott that this route that we are taking back home, is a shorter one, we won't take that long to get back, well, you do seem a bit busy, we can talk about this later, when you have time," Kyris responded and Alix sighed then Adora smiled a little.

Alix glanced at her and she patted him on his shoulder then pointed to Kyris and his eyes narrowed as he stared at her and she sighed.

"All right, let's talk about it now," Alix said as he walked away from Adora, she glanced at him then smiled a little and he went to talk with Kyris.

As they were talking and the others were doing their own things, Adora wanted to relax and do what she wanted as well and she returned to her room then smiled before exhaling deeply, after which, she entered the room, then closed the door behind her.

Despite them taking the shorter route back home, since they didn't want to waste any time because they didn't know what could happen during that time, Scott used the ship at almost full speed with extra care in the meantime, just so that they could arrive earlier than planned.
