Chapter 43 - Crossing!

"Gray what is happening why all the zombies on the city suddenly became active" While running away, Mary asked Gray in the front.

"AGHANAAA...." But the sound of the zombies behind them inside the city suddenly calmed down.

"Calmed down?" Gray looked at the city behind him with more fear in his heart.

"Let go!" Gray didn't explain to them and run away even faster.

Soon Gray and his party reached a big forest and entered a random cave to hide.

"Gray... What did you find there?" Legolas said. He can see that Gray is acting weird. As if he's trying to hide from someone in a panic.

"Was it a strong zombie? fourth-order? fifth-order?" Mary asked trying to guess what he met there.

"No... I met something more horrifying from the zombies" Gray looked at them and told what to them about his encounter with Chandra.

After learning about everything. All of them were terrified. This is the first time to hear about an intelligent zombie. But what even more scary is her ability to control the zombies.

"You said that you have petrified her. Then why the zombies calmed down after freed from her control?" Tauriel was thinking about what Gray said. And the asked.

"Because... She's not dead!" Gray said his thought. Before leaving the hall after petrifying her. Gray wanted to destroy her stone body to make sure she died for good. But as soon as he thought of this. A very uneasy feeling struck his heart. As if telling him if he didn't run away directly he won't have the chance to run anymore!.

When he thinks of this. Gray felt cold n his heart. If he really stayed there. He might have become a zombie by now.

"So... What should we do now? Should we go and tell the awakeners in the hero city about this?" Mary didn't know what they should do in this situation, so she asked.

"No. We have to get stronger... That zombie... Chandra shouldn't be a threat to other survivors. At least not for now. If a strong person like her wanted to destroy the survival bases. She would have done this already. We are still weak to know anything. So we should get stronger first..." Gray said his real thought. The intelligence Chandra showed is not like a new evolved zombie at all. So she shouldn't be a newly evolved zombie. If she wants to attack the survivors she would have done this already.

The more he thinks the more he found that things are not as simple as he thought. Not just simply a zombie and awakeners problem.

"Well... Mary, give me your hand" Gray won't hold back anymore. He will do everything to make himself and his companion stronger. First, the Glory base was destroyed by random awakeners and now a ridiculously strong female zombie almost turned him to a zombie. Gray doesn't want to continue like this. At this moment Gray's desire for power became much stronger then it already is.

Besides he already searched Mary's memories before. And found that before the apocalypse she wasn't the type who likes to watch the movies or tv show. So she's not very familiar with all function worlds. And that's why he decided to take her with them.

Gray directly copied high elf genes to Mary and copied her first awakened ability Cells enhancement to himself and Legolas and Tauriel.

Gray almost forgot about this. Cell enhancement; It gave a very high physical fitness. So It helped them raise their C.P by 50. And it also raised all there senses.

As for Mary, she was enjoying the evolution. Because she's a pure human. like Gray before, her body bled so much and then started rebuilding itself. Her body slowly became taller and slender. Her face became younger and her brown hair became brighter.

Soon Mary's evolution ended. Looking at her new body and face Mary was shocked. She always wondered why the three of them awakened the same race. But now she got the answer. Gray actually changed her from human to elf!. She can feel that her strength became much stronger than before!

Gray didn't copy many skills for her. Only [Language skill] and [Elves Combat Arts]. Mary uses the spear as her weapon so sword skill will be useless for her.

After doing all this Gray looked at the pattern on his hand which is almost complete. He anticipates that he should cross again after a couple of hours.

"Hope this time world rises my strength" Gray merged the luck attribute on himself before. But till now. His luck wasn't as high as he thought it will be. But he still has the hope to cross a good world this time. If he crossed a normal or high-tech world Gray will be disappointed. Even though there are many good things inside high-tech worlds. Gray still wants a magical world where he can rise his strength.

After that Gray explained to Mary about his ability and told then they will cross the world again soon.

When Mary heard Gray's words she very excited! And more shocked by Gray's ability. First, he changed her to an elf and taught her good fighting skills by simply holding her hand. And now he can cross the world?.

Mary wasn't angry about the fact that Gray didn't tell her before. But more happy that he really trusts her and told her about his ability.

"Wait... does that mean...." Mary looked at Legolas and Tauriel with new doubts.

Seeing her looking at them. Legolas and Tauriel understand what she means. So they nodded their heads to confirm her words.

After that everyone stayed in the cave waiting...

...

...

Somewhere in the world. A very huge dark castle floating in the air. If you look carefully at the space around the castle. You can find they everything around is illusionary not giving a real feeling. As if the castle is in a completely different space.

"WIGG" In front of the castle a dark gate appeared suddenly and a woman stepped out.

"Death Queen. You're here" From the gate an old butler came out and smiled toward Chandra who appeared form the gate.

"Well, Don't waste my time. Lead the way." Chandra didn't care about him. And said this while walking toward the castle. As if she doesn't need someone to lead the way.

Soon they reached a huge gate inside the castle and the old butler opened the door for her.

After entering the gate there was a huge table and four people were sitting there waiting.

One blond girl and three men with different looks.

"You here Chandra!" The only girl suddenly got excited after seeing Chandra and wanted to give Chandra a hug.

But before she reaches Chandra her upper body half directly disappeared leaving only the lower half falling on the ground.

"Idiot," The blonde-haired man said with disdain while looking at the girl who just got killed.

But a weird scene happened the lower body of the girl slowly disappeared.

"You can't do this Chandra. I only wanted to gave you a hug" The blonde suddenly appeared from nowhere and said this to Chandra with an annoyed face.

Chandra didn't care about her and sit on the table not giving her any attention.

"Tchee. So cold" The girl saw Chandra ignoring her and said while returning to her seat.

After that everyone kept silent.

"everyone here..."

...

...

At the same time inside the cave. Gray and the others were standing in the middle holding each other hand waiting for something.

"Are you ready" Gray can feel the pattern on his hand suddenly heating up.

"Yes," Everyone said this with a serious look on there faces.

Suddenly a vortex appeared from Gray's hand and sacked them directly, Leaving the world for the third time.

...

After ten minutes a Dark Gate appeared where Gray was standing.

"Weird... My king was standing here. Where did he go?!" Chandra came out of the gate and looked around trying to see where Gray left.

"I can't feel his presence anymore..., Damn you Dark God, If it wasn't for you I would have caught my king by now" Even though she said this, Chandra smiled very happily. This is probably the first time she fails to find someone she wanted to find.

"Whos you're looking for?" Suddenly another girl appeared on the cave looking around her and said with a smile.

"Why are you here!" Chandra looked at the girl who suddenly appeared and said with a harsh voice.

"Nothing really just wanted to see what....." But before she completes her words. she was killed by Chandra again.

"HM.." Chandra didn't even look at the girl's dead body and disappeared from the cave.

After Chandra left the cave. The girl appeared again from nowhere and looked at the place were Chandra left. With a playful look on her eyes.

"What was she looking for.....?" It's very rare to see Chandra searching for something, and actually to appear in a remote place like his cage. So she is curious.

After some thoughts, a silly smile appeared on her face and also disappeared from the cave.
