Chapter 162: 159. Unknown locations
Soon, it was night. A mature woman with short braided hair approached the ocean area from the ruined city. There was a net fence which was torn which separated the city from the ocean area and she passed through the tear, then walked towards the people there.
"Mom." The woman looked sideways and saw Dexter and Dexter hugged her tightly.
"My son." The woman said as she hugged him back. She was shorter than him.
Both of them sat down in front of the waters and then they looked at the ocean in silence. The woman suddenly began crying as she looked beyond at the ocean and Dexter shook his head.
"They're still out there. They must be. I'll find them." Dexter said and then a large shark erupted from the ocean towards them and he stretched his right hand upwards.
The black triangular symbol on his palm let out a dark aura before a large black horse emerged from the markings.
Grim let out dark tentacles from it's tail which cut the shark to pieces and it opened it's mouth wide and absorbed the pieces of the shark.
"Good boy." Dexter said as he rubbed the nose of the horse and it disappeared.
"I'm still not used to that." Dexter's mom said with a bitter smile on her face and then Dexter shook his head.
Hannah came and sat beside his mum and the woman looked at her.
"Ah, my son's wife, how are you?" She asked with a warm smile as she wiped her tears.
"I'm fine ma. Don't worry, it's not over yet. Your sons are still out there." Hannah said to her with a hug and then she nodded.
"I can't stay here." Dexter stood up and then summoned grim out who seemed almost invisible but Dexter could see the dark horse with glowing purple eyes in front of him and he got on it.
'Lets go.' Dexter communicated through his thoughts and then the horse rode forth on the ocean, with a speed which made the water split in two as the horse vanished into the distance.
"Will you guys come back to the camp with me?" Dexter's mom asked as she turned and then Hannah and the others shook their heads.
"We wait for Dexter." Hannah said and so Jane, Dexter's mom, left the area while walking slowly.
A creature from between a rock pounced on her and a dagger appeared in her hand and then she stabbed the neck before pulling out quickly and then walking away, leaving the creature on the ground with a hole in its neck.
"She also seems fine. Dexter's family are just full of strong people. She was about to cry, or I thought it at least, but then she let out a breath and just kept staring at the ocean." Tracy even had a tear drop slip out of her eye and then she shook her head.
"We were lucky we arrived close to a camp. Coincidentally, Dexter's mom was there also." Tracy said with a sigh and then they kept staring at the horizon.
...
Deep inside the waters, more than 10000 kilometres into the ocean from the position of a ship which was turned upside down, there was a young man who was actively fighting a large creature the size of a 500 metres sky scraper.
'This creature should fucking let me go.' Jude thought as he boosted towards the tentacle and struck with his sword, but it was hopeless.
He didn't need oxygen to survive as a vampire but he couldn't escape as the creature wrapped it's tentacles around, making him caged here.
He put his spirit energy into his sword and it glowed in a bright blue colour before he placed it between two of the tentacles around him.
'Energy wave.' Jude over charged the sword with spirit energy and then he swam downwards and held onto a tentacle.
*GBIM!!*
The explosion nearly pushed Jude but he swam up after that and passed through the separated tentacles. Jude was about to swim up but couldn't see the surface of the water and he frowned as he realized that he didn't know exactly how deep he was into the ocean.
The pressure was much, perhaps he was deep enough to be pushed down.
*CREIUUUU!!*
Jude could swear he heard something as the water around him vibrated and his eyes glowed a bright golden colour and he saw a large tentacle coming towards him from above. Jude felt the pain in his stomach and all of a sudden, he was going towards the sea bed when he passed through it and it vibrated like as it was water and Jude was nowhere to be found.
"AHHHHHHH!!!" Jude shouted as he 'FELL' out of water and he suddenly landed on a hard floor and he shook his head and checked out his surroundings.
He was introduced to a wide futuristic city and he looked around to see himself on a golden bridge and just then, people from a flying carriage which was designed in gold and blue jumped down and landed around him.
Jude was shocked as the people had blue skin and slitted eyes like snakes and then he got into a fighting stance as they were all pointing spears with three blades towards him.
As the first one approached he dodged the spear and punched the creature in the face but it's skin was strong and he heard a crack in his fist.
He hadn't evolved into a seventh class yet. Before he knew it, he was wrapped by a thick rope and the creatures began speaking an incomprehensible language as they dragged him away and Jude struggled while shouting.
...
In a distant, mysterious island on the ocean, a boy who was just washed on the shore woke up and stood up from the sandy ground.
'Where am I?' Collins thought as he looked around and then he scratched his head.
'Wait, I was fighting the creature and Dexter was about to save me, and then the creature whipped me away.' Collins thought and then he facepalmed as he looked around.
"I must have fallen unconscious." Collins said and he looked back and saw one of his swords in the sand and picked it before dusting the sand off of it.
He dismissed it before looking into the island. There was a canopy of trees which lead into a dark forest and he suddenly summoned a shield in his hand.
It was circular and had waves drawing on it with a circular symbol in the middle.
"So this is what I got from killing the tortoise." Collins said and then he read the descriptions.
[Sonic wave shield (seventh class ranked item): A shield capable of defending you from attacks from almost all seventh class creatures.
Innate skill: Pulse blast.]
[Pulse blast: Release a force in the direction the shield faces and push back enemies.]
Collins suddenly heard sounds and then he saw large one foot tall crabs emerging from the sand and then he frowned as he turned around to the ocean.
There he saw a large creature jump out and go back into the water and he stopped and looked towards the forest ahead.
Collins stood on the shield and held it and he activated the skill and he blasted himself into the forest.
He crashed through tress and he landed before he continued running deeper into the forest.
