Chapter 115 - The Search

"Will just run Austin, it is becoming really tiring" said Diana as she continued to follow Austin from behind. 

"We don't have much time Diana, we need to find the others and put an end to that being before we all lose our life to it" replied Austin.

"I am more worried about Jason, I don't think it was a good idea to leave him behind" said Diana.

"It won't be an easy task to put him down so stop worrying" replied Austin.

"You must have confidence in his ability to survive for you to leave him alone with Sam" said Diana with a forceful smile.

"Haha, what can I say, it is not the first time that he is facing a possessed so it won't make a difference if it were to be Sam" replied Austin with a laugh as he continued to run. 

"Not the first time" mutters Diana to herself as she begins to wonder how many of the possessed he has faced already.

Going from one path to another in search of the others since time was not on their side, after running around the place for some time, they were able to run into Trace who seemed to be looking for something.

"Good thing we found you" said Diana as she sat on the floor to take a rest.

"It seems like you guys have also come in contact with a family member that is trying to kill you" replied Trace with a smile. 

"Did you have a fight with a possessed person?" asked Austin.

"So that is what you called them the possessed, well I ran into one of the Allen family members a while back when I was searching for treasure. Good thing I didn't let my guard down else I don't think you will be seeing me like this" replied Trace with a smile.

"So what happened to the possessed" asked Austin.

"He ran away after sustaining a serious injury" replied Trace.

"And you let him go, what if he comes back for you" asked Diane.

"Then I will have to kill him since he didn't learn his lesson the first time" replied Trace.

"Like you will be able to fight with him if he were to show up before you right now" commented Austin.

"Excuse me, are you looking down on me" said Trace with a frown.

"It is not a matter of looking down on you but the fact that when the possessed come for you, you won't be a match against him" replied Austin.

"Just because you couldn't handle a possessed doesn't mean I can't" said Trace.

"Yes it would really be a miracle if you can best a third or fourth stage foundation realm expert" replied Austin.

When Trace heard his statement, the frown on his face deepened as he turned to look at Diana who nodded her head with a serious look on her face.

"Looks like I have made a big mistake" said Trace as he let out a sigh.

"Let's just hope no one runs into him" replied Austin.

"But you know that is impossible right" said Diana.

"Ah, we need to hurry before things get worse" said Austin.

"It seems like you guys have been looking for me this whole time" asked Trace who suddenly brought them back to the topic.

"Not just you but the others, we found where the cause of all this possessed is but we are no match for it which is while we are searching for more people" replied Diana.

"Well since you have located where it is hiding, what are we waiting for. Come let's go put a stop to it" said Trace with a smile as he took the lead and began to walk but that was when he noticed that no one was following him and he had to stop in his tracks.

"Why are you just standing when we have work to do" asked Trace.

"The thing is that we still won't be a match against it even with your help" replied Diana.

"What do you mean, is he that powerful" asked Trace in surprise.

"If it were a little weak, we won't be here looking for you" replied Austin.

"So what are we supposed to do now" asked Trace.

"What else order than to go look for the others" replied Austin.

"You know it won't be easy to locate them with how big this whole place is" said Trace.

"If we can find you, it will only be a matter of time before we find them" replied Diana with a smile. 

"Dammit, I can't believe that I am involved with you guys on this" sighed Trace.

"What other choice do you have and let's not forget that it will only be a matter of time before you are attacked by the possessed again and I believe you won't be able to survive it. But if you were to come along with us and we run into it, it won't be as difficult as it will be with just you fighting on your own" replied Austin.

"Whatever you say man, so where are we going to begin the search" asked Trace.

"First of all I would like to ask you, did you come across anyone while you were here" replied Austin with his question.

"Well there were a few from the Allen family who went through this path and a member of the Patton family" said Trace.

"Then we'll continue to search this path to see if there is anyone still alive" replied Diana as she clapped her hands happily.

After everything was said and done, they continued to search the path in hope of meeting someone but still, they were not able to find anyone and had to give up searching the path as they turned to search for another path.

"As I said, it is not going to be easy to find the others" said Trace with a sigh.

"We can't give up now, we will have a higher chance of defeating it if we have more people on our side" replied Diana.
