"That's no trench..." Jin muttered with visible concern on his face. "What?" Claudia asked a bit puzzled but as the dark spot grew darker right before Jin's eyes he felt great unease.

"Move the airship now!" Jin warned Claudia with complete seriousness leaving her speechless. He was never one to panic even in dangerous situations because he knew things would work out, now however he seemed to be greatly troubled.

Claudia looked down at the dark spot for a moment and then looked at Jin before rushing into the interior of the airship. She was quick to get the airship moving away from the center of the Komi Islands and towards the outer Islands.

Only then did the airship come to a stop once more. Jin now became slightly relaxed as he looked forward with narrowed eyes.

*rumble!*

Just then another earthquake seemed to have struck the Komi Islands and the surrounding waters as larger vicious waves began to form all around.

*voosh!*

Suddenly at the center of the Komi Island at what looked to be a trench, a gigantic serpent like creature emerged and rose up till it nearly pierced the clouds. It was like a tall scaly slithering tower that could be seen by all who currently resided in the Komi Islands.

"What is that..." Claudia muttered in a tone of disbelief at the sheer size and length of the creature. Given that they couldn't even see its tail which was under water still, they could only assume the creatures length alone was well over one thousand meters. As for the width it was around one hundred to three hundred meters.

....

"Another disaster..." Aron muttered as he looked up toward the creature that had just emerged seemingly out of nowhere. Evanora and Lady Rose also fixated there gazed on what could only be described as a monstrous water snake. "Well that explains the tremors..." Lady Rose muttered before turning towards the woman in the bubble who only raised her head and observed in silence.

"You, what is that monstrosity?" Lady Rose asked with furrowed brows, the cloaked woman then turned in her direction and finally removed her hood to reveal her face.

Like Aron had said before, she was indeed an elf. She had long aurburn hair and sparkling white eyes that only served to emphasize her already beautiful face. However the more one looked closer the more they would see burn marks originating from her neck going downwards.

"You insolent livestock how dare speak to your master that way? How long has it been since our imprisonment for you to grow so bold?" The elf yelled out in an echoey voice that carried great anger and resentment.

Soon Lady Rose's bubble showed slight cracks on its surface before shattering completely like glass. Lady Rose was quick to react and her scouter quickly flew beside her while Aron remained still and showed a smirk.

*Hissssss!*

During this time the large serpent that emerged began to hiss and writhe it's body around in the water but made no offensive movements. Aron who sensed no hostility from it chose to concentrate on the woman before him at the moment as the creature seemed to pose no direct danger yet.

"Answer me you lowly livestoc-"

*Arck!*

The cloaked woman received no response and was about to demand answers once again but before she could do so her face was met with the back of Aron's hand that sent her flying back a few meters, stopping only when she hit the trunk of a large tree.

*cough!*

"W-What is this!? This host is far too weak... so much so that a lowly- mmph!" The cloaked woman had held her cheek in disbelief at what had just occurred and looked at Aron with even more hatred as she coughed slightly from the impact.

Aron was quick to walk over to her and grip her by the chin. "Listen carefully, I care not for whatever you are or whatever grandeur scheme you have. I seek one thing and one thing only... a way to Limbo." Aron leaned in towards the woman and whispered this into her ear causing her to freeze up.

"You... seek to go Limbo?! That's madness! We destroyed as many ways into that accursed land as we could during our time and banished those who opposed us there. It's not a place mere Pesian livestock like you can survive in!" Upon hearing Limbo the woman seemed to enter a hysterical state and began yelling towards Aron while her body quivered slightly.

Lady Rose listened in carefully while also making sure to keep her gaze fixed on the serpent that still had it's eyes closed.

As for Aron, it was like the woman's words were useless ramblings so he tightened his grip on her cheeks. "That accursed land you speak of is my home, so it's in your best interests to tell me so we can both quickly go our separate ways..." Aron muttered in a threatening manner without care for Lady Rose's presence.

'This is becoming more arduous than necessary... No. I'm being far too cautious for a world that has nothing to do with me and it's dragging me into one process after another.' Aron thought as his grip began to tighten even more whilst his eyes looked colder than usual.

"Aron... calm down, I can feel your mana fluctuations from here. If you kill her so easily our efforts thus far would've been for naught." Lady Rose turned to Aron and advised causing his shrunken pupils to expand back to normal and his breathing to go steady.

He looked at the woman he held and the hate she once showed had now turned into fear. He immediately let go and backed away then turned to Lady Rose. "It's best you ask the questions I-" Aron clenched his fists in anger at himself for letting his frustrations drive him in that moment but Lady Rose shook her head and showed a smirk.

"No need to explain. We all have our shortcomings, perhaps you'll be there one day for my own." She said casually before walking over to the trembling woman.

[ No, No, No. They come from Limbo! ]

[ Danger! We must Escape! ]

[ Our Power, Let's draw out our power! ]

[ No! The Guardian will fully awaken and hunt us down till our host is crushed! ]

Numerous echoey voices resounded in the woman's mind causing her to grit her teeth as she looked at Aron's back.

'There's no other way... he's a danger to us all.'
