Chapter 157 - Through That Day...

Back in time a little bit...

On top of the sea, somewhere around the world...

*Rumble*

A bolt of golden lightning was flickering moving at a very fast speed through this sea...

The lightning didn't stop for a second and kept moving all the way toward a current direction...

As the lightning became faster and faster, a high cliff quickly appeared in front of it stoping its advancing direction...

*RUMBLE*

The moment the lightning came to the high cliff land, it directly flew to its stop on top of the flat land on top of the cliff...

With this, the real form of this lightning also showed itself...

"Finally, reached the land again..." The person who appeared from the lightning said to herself...

This was a really beautiful woman, with long black hair, and pair of black eyes that were hiding gold inside of them, her ears, were sharper than usual, wearing a few gold armor pieces protecting her arms and legs, holding a golden spear in her hands... with a pair of incomplete little wings behind her back, making her look more like an angel warrior...

While standing there, she looked around as if trying to find something and soon she looked to her left...

"Well... Tauriel should be with Baccarat now, so they should be safe... And Legolas can take care of himself...Only Gray and Perona..." But before moving on, she started talking to herself, while touching her head...

"Rest first..." If one looked at the woman's eyes carefully, he can find a trace of fatigue from inside of them, apparently, she was tired somehow...

Who's that pok... I mean woman?

Naturally, she was Mary...

It has been ten hours since she changed her direction flying toward Baccarat direction, in these ten hours, the first thing she thought of was to find the others... So she moved all the way through the endless oceans...

But... She really wants to ask...

Was the world that big? Just how far did they separate?

So, such doubts kept appearing in her mind...

Not only this, because she moved through the ocean directly, she met many annoying sea monsters along the way...

Since the creatures in the land can evolve, naturally the sea creatures will be the same... It's just compared to land, the sea was many times more dangerous...

If it wasn't for her conqueror Haki was used almost all the time to scare them, she wouldn't have reached the land at this right now... But would be probably still fighting in the sea...

Ride the cloud? Hmmm... It happened that the weather was so good and clean today...

Honestly, Mary didn't feel very well at this moment...

How to say it... Before ten hours she just came back to the world... And what did she do before coming back?

She... was in a war... Marineford war... kicking generals asses...

She was already tired... But didn't take a rest and kept moving searching for the others...

But a person's energy also limited...

Since she came back, she already fought a few times with both zombies and beasts, lets not say, she was using her ability all the time...

So at this moment, Mary truly felt weakness in her body... all she wants now was to find a warm bed and take some rest... Or her body really won't allow her to keep up...

Mary also realized how wrong she was... She really should have rested before going mindlessly through the sea...

But who made her anxious to find the others?

Even though she doesn't want to... She had to stop moving and find a place to rest...

So after coming to the land, she stopped and started searching for a place she can stay in...

And soon she found one...

It was a small village not far away from where she stayed...

So a few seconds later she reached the place...

There wasn't any living being there, only a few zombies wandering around the village, and about a few third-order zombies, so she destroyed them fast, and chose a relatively remote house that was easy to ignore in the village...

After making sure that everything was safe, she finally couldn't resist and threw herself to bed...

"Hope they are okay..." As Mary said this, she has fallen into the dreamland...

And like this, Mary stopped here... While also the reason why she didn't find to reach the others till now...

But at least... Mary's luck was good... And her night was peaceful...

...

...

In another dark forest, a tall handsome light blond-haired man with sharp ears and a smooth face laying on a big tree, while a bonfire was lit, close to him keeping some warmth in the place...

"Trik..." In this silent and calm atmosphere, a braking sound appeared... It wasn't so loud, as if someone stepped on a branch in the ground...

But as soon as the sound appeared, a huge dark shadow flew from the forest darkness directly toward the man who was laying not far...

But before the show reaches him, the man's eyes suddenly opened showing pair of blue eyes, and with a very smooth and elegant movement as if his body was a leaf carried by the wind, dodged the shadow and stepped not far away...

"BOOM" "WISSHHH" The shadow smashed the place where the man was resting, directly destroying the tree itself...

While a strong burning sound appeared from the tree at the same time...

The shadow figure was also cleared...

It was a gigantic dark serpent, with skin like dark iron, and eyes like abyss door turned its head at the man who it failed to finish him in one attack and made an annoying sound...

Looking at this snake in front of him, the man felt chilly for a second... And directly draw two short swords from his back...

With this, one snake one man looked at each other silently... With only a burning sound from the destroyed tree that was slowly melting into a liquid...

That just shows how strong this snake venom was...

But even so, the man wasn't scared but looked so calm at this moment...

The snake didn't stay silent, and suddenly like a bullet despite its size, reached toward the man, with open mouth wanted to devour him...

But the man was faster, and with elegant footsteps dodged the snake face, and the short swords in his hand turned into pitch-black swords and directly attacked the snake body in front of him...

"TGING" But as if he attacked an iron shield, the snake's skin was so hard that his sword attack didn't even leave a scratch on it...

Seeing this, the man opened his blue eyes with a surprise this time, but before he could react, the snake tail from the side already reached him with a speed that he never expected and hit his body darting him into the forest...

"BOOM!" After being smashed by the tail darting away, the man was like an arrow flew toward the trees not far away, and a huge explosion appeared from that place...

The black snake who managed to hit its tonight prey was taken aback... It doesn't remember that its attack has an after hit explosion effect...

But soon another scene surprised the snake appeared...

From the explosion center, a group of light came out very fast that it was hard for it to dodge and hit its face...

"Boom" Another explosion appeared, but this time it was the snake who got bombed...

With this, a stream of light spots gathered together on the tree branch not far away.

As the light spots came together, the man who was darted by the snake just now appeared, and his body didn't receive any kind of damage...

But he didn't stay there for long and turned into a group of light spots again and moved a little far away...

"BOOM" While the tree he was standing in was already destroyed by the snake that was completely fine...

"Not working?" The man raised his left eyebrow and said while looking at the snake that didn't reserve any damage from his attack...

*Mea!* As he was looking at the snake that was calmly observing him as an annoying prey not far away, a little black head came out from his pocket and looked around with a confused face...

But then it disappeared and appeared on top of the man's head looking at the snake not far away, with weird eyes...

Legolas felt the cat on top of his head and smiled helplessly... This cat really likes to stand on his head...

Yup... the elegant elf prince was naturally Legolas...

After a few hours since moving in Baccarat's direction, the sun was already replaced by the moon, so Legolas didn't choose to keep moving his way to leave the forest he was trying to leave, but chose to rest before continuing on his way ...

Just like the others, Legolas also came back to the world after a very long day... So he was already very tired, and after he came back, he kept moving around for some time misled by the papers till he changed his direction to Baccarat's direction...

From the life cards, he can see that the others were safe, even though he still doesn't know what was happening with Gray and Perona, but at least nothing life-threatening should happen... After all, the paper turned black.. But didn't disappear, which means their life shouldn't have disappeared...

He wasn't worried? He naturally worried, but Legolas also knew that he shouldn't keep moving...

Unlike Mary, Legolas who has a huge experience knew very well how to judge and control his actions... With a weak and tired body, he shouldn't keep moving... After all, it won't be funny if he met a dangerous situation and couldn't extract his real power because of body tiredness...

So he wanted to take a rest and recharge his body first...

As for the cat, it's the same cat that made him helpless before... This cat has been following him all day long, and Legolas couldn't really do anything about it... He couldn't even touch it till now...

And this what happened till this black serpent in front of him appeared...

The cat watched the snake not far away, and an annoyed look appeared in its eyes, apparently, this snake offended it somehow... But as if thinking of something, the cat's eyes became lazy and jumped to the tree beside Legolas and...

"Mea Mea..." Looked at Legolas and meawed twice as a normal cat...

Hmmm... But for some reason, Legolas felt this cat was saying *deal with it*

Well... He didn't have time to think too much... For now, he had to deal with the trouble that was eyeing him...

Legolas's night... Didn't end peacefully at the end....
