Chapter 377: Lords Peak (1/2)
”Are they both done now too?” Regrit asked, looking down towards Hikari slowly rising up to his side and at Elizabeth in the distance.
'Yes, they're finished. But I don't have time to explain everything, so I have something else in mind…' Moby replied. 'Let's see what 1000 mind can do,' Moby inwardly thought to himself, and with considerable effort, he attempted to send information to all three of them about the situation, there was no time for heavy talking.
”B-big brother Moby… Your voice is in my head… I-I think I understand everything…”
”So that is your plan… That's how you can talk in our heads and that's how you can just straight up send information into our mind…” Regrit slowly mumbled.
Elizabeth in the corner gradually strode towards all of them. Her face was fairly attractive from before, but now she looked akin to a supermodel. Yet, her change in appearance resulted in no reaction from her team, after all, the same thing happened to them as well.
”Elizabeth, are you good now?” Hikari asked with a hint of concern.
”Yes, yes, I'm fine, those shalkers just really shook me up… But never mind that! I'm good! I want to be the best support that I can be! I feel renewed!” Her face was earnest, and her resolve was clear.
It came as a great shock to them regarding her previous state, yet they all could not help but be relieved that they have her support.
”Well, now that's all settled, let's move, I can guarantee you those two will come to hunt us down soon enough. If you need anything you can communicate through mind-link. Keep everything relayed to you fresh in mind. Understood?” Moby's face was completely serious as he relayed his final orders as the new team leader, and before his team could even say a word, he already knew their response.

One by one, they exited the cave and went their own ways yet not too far away from each other. It was an organized formation to both scout and so they would not be as easily spotted as one big group.
The fog was thick in the icy tundra of the outside planet, yet they noticed it to be not as bad as before considering their new demon eyes. From their position, they noticed they were towards the top of a mountain. Yet, it was not the same mountain where the castle at the highest peak resided, no, it was far too low.
But luckily for them, they were not lost, and the shadow of their destination was not too far from where they stood. In fact, it was directly ahead of them, far off in the distance and above the clouds. They seemed to be on an adjacent mountain nowhere near as tall.
After communicating once more through mind-link, they shifted their gaze towards Lord's Peak.
The terrain and footing was just as unforgiving as before, yet there was no time to slow down. However, what was cause for alarm was something else, outside of the nature and terrain.
'Dogs! I see dogs!' Regrit relayed to the rest of the group. 'They're not normal… They're made out of blue see-through mana or something, and they are roaming around in groups looking around at every nook and cranny… What the hell! Do these shalkers have abilities too!?'
