Chapter 243: Did I Miss The Way?
Adrian walked out of the gateway, he froze on track seeing the huge pile of dead monsters in front of him; what shocked him more was Mira and Maria who squats in front of a ten meters pile of Monsters.
The two girls were clearly covered in blood, While Tyson, Borne and his brothers stood behind them.
Adrian Absentmindedly moved his gaze around the destroyed field, to his left were piles of dead monsters, and to his right... Well... The players who lose their lives were lied on the ground.
"What are you doing here?"
Adrian turned to Tyson, who had noticed his presence.
Instead of answering, He asked: "Where is Michael?"
"North from here, I'll say 100 miles away."
Adrian was flabbergasted. 'How big is this field?' He thought, then looked around, and asked.
"What are you guys up to?"
"The Boss asked us to take all the Cores, but..." Rahond stopped in front of them.
"That's a work load, these Monsters are more than thousands." He looked around the place.
"So you guys won?"
Adrian was still stunned, it has only been 13 minutes in the real world, He can't believe these people could kill so many Monsters in 30 minutes, let alone 13.
"Well, the battle took an hour, But we won." Maria stood, and turned around to Adrian, a smile on her face.
Adrian stared at her, lost in her deep blue eyes for more that he would have like.
"Ahem! Michael is that way."
Tyson cleared his throat, bringing Adrian out of his gaze, and pointed at the direction.
"Oh… Right... I'll get going."
He looked at Maria one last time, and flew into the air, towards the direction Tyson pointed.
"It seems you got an admirer."
Mira stood up, sheathed both her daggers, and turned to her friend.
"Look at you, all nasty." Maria quickly changed the subject, pointing at Mira's Overcoat and black pants.
Mira looked at herself, and glared at her. "Same as you."
"You have a point, It's just sad these guys didn't let us fight Lv40 Monsters above."
Maria turned to Borne, and his group, a small frown on her face.
"The Boss asked us to keep you safe." Dink defended.
The two girls just rolled their eyes at them.
"Come on, Let continue taking their Cores." Mira said, pulling Maria to the pile of Monsters.
"If someone told me some weeks ago that I, Maria, will be doing all these, even tearing up dead Monsters to removed their cores, I'll surely laugh on the person's face."
"Yeah… I once have a mental illness..." Mira blurted out.
Maria turned to Mira In shock, as the two girls crouched down.
"You didn't mention that to me."
"Not serious... My mental illness is, I'm scared of even the thinnest thing, But after these two years training with my brother, It seems something snapped in me." She tore opened the Monster in front of her, not even flinching by the blood and smell, and continued:
"Truthfully, I was selfish."
"Meaning?" Maria started hers.
"I let my brother did all the hard work, taking care of me and all that without thinking of ways to help... Well... I thought of ways, but he won't allow me to... I should have sneak out or anything, to try and support him, but instead, I just... I just nodded and said nothing."
She looked down at the red Core in her hand, then place it on the ground.
"I understand... I felt the same way--"
"--You couldn't walk, so you have no choice, But what about me...? My brother took care of me from... I don't even know how old I was, He dropped out of school, so he could take care of me..." She chuckled sadly.
"I'll say my eyes are now open." Tears formed in her eyes.
"It's ok, Mira."
Maria hugged her shoulders, resting Mira's head on her shoulder:
"Don't think too much about it, Your brother is a type of elder brother everyone wish for, you should be happy, and use this time to show him how much you love and cherish him... Show him that you can also look and take care of him as he took care of you."
"You are right, Maria..." Mira removed her head from Maria's shoulder and stared at her with her bright eyes:
"I'll get him the best birthday present ever!"
"That's my girl, I'll join you. And also get something for my sister and Michael."
"Oh! I forgot those two are birthday buddies."
With the Mood restored, the two girls happily started removing Cores... Borne and his brothers who heard everything smiled slightly, they all stepped forward to assist the girls.
"What about, Jennifer?"
"Huh?" Rahond turned to Tyson. "Why are you asking about her?"
Tyson glared at him: "Can't I ask about our Vice Guild Master?"
With a huff, he walked away in long strides, not waiting for Rahond to answer.
"What is wrong with this guy?" Rahond's confusion was palpable, as he watched Tyson walked away.

Adrian landed in front of Michael, and was so stumped that he was unable to speak.
The dead Orthus, or even the giant scorpion and Orc didn't shock him, but the sight in front of him did.
Michael sat on a chair, with a cup of tea in his hand, but that isn't want caught his attention, It was the Silver hair lady on his laps, laughing with him.
Adrian had to look around him, making sure he's still in the gate with dead monsters everywhere, Confirming he hasn't entered another plane or realm, He coughed lightly.
"Ahem."
Michael and Erika looked up, seeing Adrian descending in front of them.
"I almost thought both of you are in your honeymoon."
The moment his feet touched the ground, he felt a presence behind him, two actually... Adrian looked over his shoulder seeing the eyes of Reaper and Abyss staring at him.
"Ok..."
He turned back to Michael, who was smiling at him.
"Has the gates opened?"
Michael asked, Erika still on his laps, If Maria saw her sister like this, she'll be more than shocked.
Hearing his question, A huge question Mark Appeared on Adrian's head:
'Did I miss the way?' He looked around again.
"No you didn't."
"You... You can hear my thought?!"
Adrian's eyes went so wide that they were about to fall from his sockets.
