LONE: The Journey Beyond

While Reven explained his plans to the kobold, Vera introduced the group of the other-worlders to Parth.

There were a total of 5 of them here excluding Vera and Cale. They were-

Baltimore Cano, the dwarf;

Natalie Leafaey, the elf;

Ares and Faeres Milza, the twin druids;

Theo Jerch, the demi-human.

"Hello everyone, my name is Parth Firemane. And I am Vera's friend. Hope we get along!"

Parth introduced himself to the group. And then asked-

"So can anyone explain to me what is going on because I am clueless."

Vera then proceeded to tell him what was going on and that they were captured here to be used as sacrifices.

After listening to her explanation Parth asked "So why are we kept like this?"

"They do not have enough people. And they come from the same world so they do not want to kill their kin." Natalie explained.

"How many do they need anyways? And how many of them are here?" Parth inquired.

"They will at least need 15 to act as their sacrifice. That is the minimum number of lives required to open a space portal. As for their numbers, it is about 21." Natalie clarified.

"So they need 7 more. Can we do anything to fight back right now?"

"Nope. Not until our seals are removed so that we can use our abilities."

Silence ensued.

Suddenly, the gate of the cellar opened and the manitorc brought another person.

This person was none other than Reven, who seemed unconscious.

"!!!"

The others were left flabbergasted but before they could say anything, they saw 6 more people who were none other than Kobi, Dave, Emma, Aleena, Geena and Ken.

Seeing this Vera's and Parth's eyes were left wide open.

"What the Fu*k? Captain! How the hell did you get knocked out too? How is this possible?" The less speaking Parth was left in hysteria seeing his captain getting knocked out too.

The Manti-orcs totally ignored his cries and left Reven and the others in the cellar with them.

Soon after the Manti-orcs left, Reven's eyes snapped opened shocking everyone else in the room.

"Yo! Vera, long time no see." Reven greeted her with a smile.

"H-How???" Vera asked with confusion.

-----

Back at the entrance room.

After Reven made his breakthrough, he proceeded to explain Kobi and the others about his plan.

"So, everyone from what we know is that we are going to be captured to be used as sacrifices so that the strong guys who are weaker than the so-called boss of this dungeon.

Now, I have a plan of action for everyone. So what we will do is…"

With that Reven went to explain what they were going to do to get out of the situation safely and also a way that they can use to get out of the dungeon.

The plan mainly included infiltrating the inner region with some people and with the potentially left people to enter the central region and bait the boss monster to come to the inner region.

And forcing the Manti-orcs to become a part of the fight.

Of course it was easier said than done but Reven had a plan which could definitely get them out of the dungeon, by hook or by crook.

"But Reven they will definitely use some sort of restriction on your body so that you can't fight back. How are you gonna get back your powers?" Aimee inquired.

"Do not worry about that. I have a way, for now let's decide who will infiltrate the camp and who will leave for the central region."

"Okay then, since you are saying you have a way so I will leave it at that." Aimee replied back and continued-

"As for the people who will infiltrate I think Dave, Emma, Aleena, Geena and Ken will do. Me and the others will go to the central region. What do the rest of you think?"

"It sounds balanced. So we are okay with the placements." The others replied.

"So everyone of you change routes ASAP and the ones who will be infiltrating get ready to leave. They will most likely ambush us the moment we are in the true inner region.

As for the rest, you all gather together and with the help of Felix's [Shadow Walk] ability quietly leave for the central region."

After that everyone followed Reven's plan and soon the results were out too.

As soon as they left their respective entrance rooms, they were ambushed and knocked out.

Same happened with Reven and Kobi, as they left the room, they were knocked out -only Kobi- without even knowing how.

As for Reven, the moment he was hit on his back with a needle like thing and felt some sort of liquid entering his body, he used [Vector Expansion] inside his body as the quarks of the atoms inside the cells in contact with the liquid started to vibrate.

At the same time his alive cells started to analyse the data regarding the liquid with an extremely high pace. This was the result of the [Life-Force Body Sheath Realm] which gave Reven's cells a partial sub-consciousness.

His [Super Senses] and [Sage] skills also came into play as his brain swiftly analysed it.

As soon as the analysis was complete his [Seamless Intuition] kicked in and produced an appropriate response by vibrations of the quarks and the instable energy it produced.

The unstable energy produced by the quantum quarks annihilated the liquid injected into him.

PHEW-!

Reven took a breath of relief in his mind.

His gamble had worked.

'Thanks Einstein!

Quantum Theory* worked –the quantum domain is totally different from celestial domain and to understand or influence it one has to be of that size at least- only this part.'

Indeed!

Reven deduced this idea from a part of Quantum Theory of physics which said that celestial influence was way too different from quantum influence. And used this to annihilate the foreign liquid.

'Though most of science and technology is mostly useless now but I have a feeling they have a lot more to show us.' Reven thought optimistically.

[Ding!]

[Your ability Immunity has showed mutations.]

Just then 'Empress' sounded in his mind.

Huh-!

Reven was speechless for a moment.

'No! Not now I will think about this matter later, right now I have more important things to do.'

Reven suppressed his thoughts and focused on the current mission.

This all happened in a mere instant.

While this was happening on the insides, Reven acted as if he was knocked unconsciousness and complied with the guy who knocked him out.

Finally, he and the others were brought into the cellar where the Manti-orcs kept the others.

-----

"???"

Vera and the others looked at Reven with absolute shock.

Seeming this Reven explained his plan to them.

After hearing him the others were left speechless yet again.

Sigh-!

Vera sighed after hearing him and said "You really are one hell of a motherfu*ker, do you know that?"

Reven chuckled and said "Indeed. Though I don't have a mother and am certainly not a guy who likes incest."

HAHAHAHA…HAHAHA…

Parth and the others couldn't help but laugh. The atmosphere of the cellar suddenly calmed down and brightened a lot.

Vera then proceeded to introduce the others to Reven.

It was to say that Reven himself was also quite surprised to see them too, especially the beautiful elf and the mysterious druids.

After exchanging greetings with them, Reven went to check on everyone and used his [Vector Expansion] to activate his vibrating quarks and use the instable energy it produced to erase and destroy the blockings of their energies.

This relieved them from their inability to use energies.

After that Reven went to the ones who were still unconsciousness and used his ability to make them awake.

They also shared greeting with the others.

"So, when will they be arriving to take us for the sacrificial ceremony." Reven asked.

"Soon." Baltimore, the dwarf replied.

"Okay then, let us discuss or plan too then." Reven said.

Everyone else nodded.

At the same time, 'Empress' alerted.

[Dungean Analysis Status]

[Progress- 50%]

Seeing the increased pace of the analysis Reven was a bit surprised but he soon calmed.

He looked at the others and explained-

"So what we will do is…"

Author's Notes:

* I have not studied the Quantum Theory –my brain won't get it anyways-, I just used a simple summary that though the celestial and quantum domain may look and behave same but there are many differences in them like we can't explain the gravity phenomenon for quantum particles.

The use of Quantum Theory is not to disrespect anyone's feelings. I have used it because I want to…

OOPS! Can't say because it will become a spoiler.

But it is not to disregard the true science theories that humanity have. Rather consider it as a form of tribute from a fantasy author with not much knowledge of science.
