Mystical Journey

Four-Star Alliance

“Is it really okay for us to do this?”

Baylon was a little worried as she watched Clint place mushroom-like explosives of various sizes on to the stone wall of the cave.

“Don’t worry… Since White Winter said that it will be alright, then it will definitely be alright,” Clint replied affirmatively.

A boy with fair skin was standing beside them. Even though he was dressed in a gray clothing specifically made for miners, he still gave people a pretty and cute aura. No one could tell that he was a boy. Everyone who had seen him for the first time would think that he was a flat-chested girl.

His skin was so fair that it seemed translucent, and his pair of animal-like ears could vaguely be seen beneath his long white hair. From time to time, his ears would tremble slightly. When he looked at Clint with his big watery eyes, he unconsciously revealed a timidly cute look.

Other than that, he had a pair of perfectly-rounded, slender legs and perky buttocks. He had the ideal figure that many girls longed of, and he had a figure similar to that of Baylon’s.

He was White Winter, a good friend that Clint and the rest of them met in the mining area. Due to this guy’s special vitality, his entire body naturally gave off chill air. Therefore, no one was willing to approach him. Clint saw how he was working extremely slowly, and he could not take it anymore. He thought that a helpless and delicate little girl was doing the same amount of work as a man. Thus, he went forward to offer assistance. He found out that he was a boy only after he had finished helping him. That was how the three of them got to know each other.

“But what if all the mushroom explosives destroy the entire mining area?” Baylon asked helplessly. While Red Moon was taking a rest, she played the role of persuading them. However, she noticed that Clint was gradually being more like Red Moon. Instead of learning to be more cautious, he had become more impulsive and rash.

“White Winter, say something. We won’t need that many explosives to open a path to the secret chamber above, right?” Baylon looked towards White Winter helplessly.

“I… I…” A red flush appeared on White Winter’s cheek; he did not dare look at Clint. His two brown animal-like ears were moving constantly, and he had the look of a naïve young girl.

Baylon helplessly covered her face… Why did it take so long for Lord Red Moon to contact his parts… He needed to return quickly… Clint was getting even more unreliable.

If only her big brother was here… she thought about her brother, Nono once again. Her brother was a genius who seemed to know everything. If her brother was here, then there would definitely not be a problem.

Unfortunately, this was Planet Gideon, it was too far away from the Mother Planet…

“Sigh… Who knows how’s my brother doing now. With his talent, he would definitely be able to break through the Inherited Level…” Baylon thought absentmindedly while she leaned on the stone wall. “At least he won’t be like me, who’s as weak as an ordinary human after losing my mech…”

“After opening the path to the secret chamber, Lord Red Moon will be able to use resonance to draw the parts out. We must hurry. Otherwise, it would be bad if the Spirit King finds out about it!” Finally, Clint placed the last mushroom explosive on top of the stone wall.

After the three of them met, they unexpectedly discovered that the Spirit Mech King was the ruler of the entire mining area. Red Moon’s parts were under his control. After a session of tormenting, deep thoughts, they finally came up with this plan. This would allow Red Moon to enter the secret chamber to draw his parts. Then, everyone would make use of the explosive energy caused by combining the parts to connect to the Negative Space tunnel, which would, in turn, lead them back to the Mother Planet. In just an instant, they could directly jump back to the Mother Planet, and the Spirit King will definitely not be able to catch up.

Without a doubt, the plan was thought out by Red Moon. The three of them did not expect White Winter to be a natural-born strategist. He added on a series of details and a loophole that Red Moon had missed. Baylon and Clint could no longer look at him the same way. With a promise, they recruited him under the category of Star General…

The other Regent Level Star Generals were all extremely strong. However, they were trapped in an extremely distressful situation. Other than empty promises and a close-range training method, the Star Generals had nothing else… they were extremely shabby.

However, White Winter was still very happy. Ever since he was qualified to become Red Moon’s Star General, he had always secretly stared at Clint. He looked like a young girl who was in love.

“Let’s go, we need to go a little further,” Clint asked the both of them to leave the explosion area.

As the three of them walked further away, a layer of faint, black mist suddenly appeared around the mushrooms. The mists entwined together, revealing a sense of unstable, restless movement.

Boom!

A fierce explosion broke out along with a growl, and soon, the entire spirit mining area fell apart. Suddenly, a commotion started among the mining workers who were still mining. A glimpse of happiness flashed through a portion of workers who participated in the plan.

“They must succeed!” A middle-aged man prayed quietly. “You must escape! White Winter, Clint, and Baylon. We will only be rescued if all of you escaped. They must… they must…”

Suddenly, the sky of the entire mining area became darker. A huge, black mech broke out of the ground, flying into the sky and remained floating.

“My secret chamber!! You rats, how dare you!!”

He reached out his huge hands that were about ten meters long before grabbing at the ground tightly.

However, a blinding white beam of light suddenly rushed into the sky, making a huge hole in his palm. The black mech took a few steps backward due to the pain and roared furiously.

“Relic Light! Damn it!”

Soon, a large number of black spirit mechs filled the air, they began hitting against the beam of light fearlessly with long-ranged weapons. A variety of weapons exploded in the beams of light, filling the sky with a colorful, dazzling radiance. In that instance, other than the white beams of light, nothing could be seen clearly. The light bypassed all the barriers, going straight into the sky.

Hiss…

The light pierced through the layers of clouds in the sky, and numerous white clouds orbited around the pillar of light. It was sacred; it seemed as though a holy light shining down from heaven.

“My treasure! No!” The fierce, red eyes on the Spirit King’s helmet shone brightly. However, all he could do was watch as the beam of light leave through the sky. He had no way of stopping it.

***********************

“Hahahaha!! We succeeded!! When I, the Lord, make a plan, there’s no way that it will fail!!” The three of them heard the sound of Red Moon’s boastful laughter ringing in their ears.

Among the white beam of light, a scarlet, gigantic mech was formed. The mech’s head, arms, and legs were covered in ferocious-looking spikes. There was a long, barbed metal tail wagging behind the mech. The tip of the tail was oddly sharp.

“Be careful, I can only form a 1% projection mech for half an hour. The three of you can drive this mech together, but you need to be cautious of the energy consumption. Being injured will consume energy, and using an ultimate skill will also consume energy. If you use up all the energy during a battle, then all of you will be doomed,” Red Moon explained in detail.

“I can’t be bothered with that, can we finally return to the Mother Planet? I can finally take a good rest…” Clint said wearily while he floated in the white light.

“It’s too soon to rest. Let’s get back to the Mother Planet first. Who knows what is happening there right now. We have been out for a few years already.” Baylon said softly.

On the contrary, White Winter was rather sentimental. After all, Planet Gideon was his homeland.

“I miss my sister…” Clint was also a little low-spirited. “I want to eat bread. I wonder if the business of the shop is as good as before…”

“If my brother is here with me…”

“If my brother is here with me…”

Baylon and White Winter said the exact same thing in sync. The both of them instantly stopped and looked at each other strangely. They immediately saw the admiration for their respective elder brothers in each others’ eyes. Due to the similar look in their eyes, they could instantly relate to each other.

The white light wrapped the three of them, and they rapidly flew toward the Negative Space. The Negative Space was different from the Positive Universe as there were bizarre, rainbow-like shadows everywhere. A large amount of light and heat were collected by the Star. Then, it would be condensed to form a huge gravitational force and trails of colorful magnetic fields.

From time to time, nebulous meteorites could be seen exploding out of the celestial bodies.

Instead of attractive forces, the celestial bodies here possessed repulsive forces, and they were shockingly strong. On the contrary, the stars were the smallest among them. The stars resembled light bulbs which had absorbed a large amount of light, heat, and specks of dust in the universe.

“It’s beautiful…” Baylon saw the view through the white light; it was breathtakingly beautiful. “So this is the Negative Space…”

“Hopefully, we can be lucky enough so that we don’t encounter any void creatures. Otherwise, it’ll be troublesome. The void creatures from the Negative Space are the most annoying ones,” Red Moon said cautiously. “If I am as strong as I used to be, I can easily just eliminate them like bugs. However, it’s different now… This mech can’t even compare to 1% of my previous power. And to make it worse, it’s just a projection… and it has a limited energy. If we were to encounter void creatures, all of you will need to depend on yourself…”

After saying that, Clint and the few of them started being vigilant. They were prepared for any sudden changes.

As time went by, the three of them thought that nothing would happen. Just when the light beam of the mech was about to return to the Positive Universe through the Negative Space.

Pff!

Suddenly, a large pale arm heavily slammed onto the beam of light made by the mech.

The arm stretched out of the void darkness with an infinite force.

“I… smell the odor of flesh and blood…” A loud, seemingly ancient voice was heard.

The beam of light was distorted from the heavy slam. Red Moon was beaten out of his mech, falling onto an asteroid on one side.

The huge pale arm wanted to grab them once again as the three of them were still dizzy and confused.

“Move quickly!” Red Moon shouted. “It’s a four-armed giant!! We’re in trouble! We need to run immediately!”

Clint and the others had just regained their composure. Then, they quickly sat on the seats inside the mech, which were linked together by willpower, and relentlessly flew towards a direction.

Clint controlled the movement of the main mech while Baylon coordinated the flow of energy. Meanwhile, White Winter controlled the mech’s tail and special abilities. They did quite well on their first attempt, despite some flaws in their teamwork.

They carefully avoided the huge, pale arm the size of an asteroid. Compared to the red mech’s arm, there was a clear difference in their sizes. It was the difference between a human and a fly.

Among the dark universe, a pale, giant with four arms slowly climbed out of the black hole. He had the same facial features as that of a human. He was bald and he wore a black, simple leather skirt. His four arms were stretched out in four different directions. He had a muscular body, looking like the Titans from the mythology.

“Flesh and blood…! Fresh meat!!” The four-armed giant roared in the void language, which was similar to the Ancient Endor language. If Garen was here, he would definitely be able to understand what it was saying. The Ancient Endor and the void creatures had intertwined since a long time ago. Both the parties learned and studied from each other for an extended period of time. It had been so long that nobody knew which one of them had greater influences.

“Wow… what a huge head!” Clint turned around and suddenly saw the four-armed giant’s pinky heading straight toward him as he was driving Red Moon’s mech.

Swoosh!

Red Moon’s mech rushed forward with a bursting high speed, heading back into the white beam of light once again. They riskily escaped from the cumbersome four-armed giant.

“That was so close, I’m scared to death,” Red Moon’s voice was heard once again. “This is the silly four-armed giant. If he hadn’t missed, I’m sure that the four of us would have instantly turned into tiny pancakes.”
