"Come on, I!" Danny yelled.


    However, I didn''t immediately jump as she continued running, getting closer and closer to the aircraft. Her mind was calcting the distance, the jump, and what she had to do the moment her feet left the ground.


    After all, there was one single opportunity and if she missed it, both of them were dead. It had to be perfect and precise.


    ''Not yet.'' She thought to herself as she sped up, getting within range where she could jump and grab Danny''s hand. The height of the aircraft was increasing fast, reaching her head level.


    "I!" Danny was on the verge of losing his mind as he kept extending his arm forward, trying to reach her. He didn''t know why she didn''t jump yet even though she had the opportunity to do that. Unaware that his position wasn''t as secure as he thought it was.


    The monsters closed upon them, reaching a dangerously close distance from the aircraft. Many of them leaped forward, intending to grab I. At that moment, I suddenly leaped into the air using all her power.


    At the same, she activated her Gravity Swap ability, rendering their weight lighter than before so that her jump reaches a higher altitude. Danny saw that and quickly got ready.


    I extended her arm and reached him at the edge, grabbing tightly into his hand. At the same time, several monsters tried to reach her, piling up on top of each other without any hesitation.


    "I… got you…" Danny clenched his teeth as he tried to yank both of them up in one single move. Although his strength was high enough to carry both of them, pulling two people up when he was barely holding on to the door was very hard.


    ''I can… do it!'' Closing his eyes, Danny forced himself up, putting all his weight on his legs. However, when he was about to get them up, his arm suddenly slipped.


    "Oh no!" His heart sank when he realized that he was falling forward and quickly tried to grab into the door again. But, his hand missed and he started falling forward. At the veryst second, a hand extended and grabbed Danny by the back. Looking back in shock, he saw Herculia holding onto him.


    "Herculia!"


    "Not now, buddy. You aren''t going anywhere." He grinned before he growled and yanked all of them up with sheer power. The three of them reached the entrance and were dragged inside before the door was mmed shut. The sound of monster ws shing on the outside echoed in their ears.


    But, soon they stopped as the aircraft took off into the distant sky.


    "Hah… Hah… That was close." Danny muttered as he looked at I. "Are you ok?"


    The girl slowly stood up as she nodded her head while rubbing her head. As she expected, doing that was very dangerous and so if she didn''t take the perfect jump, Danny would''ve fallen along with them and the three of them would''ve died.


    "Brother… Arthur! Oi, are you ok?" Emmy and Herculia approached Arthur. They noticed that some steam was rising from his body. "What happened to him?"


    "... I don''t know," I replied.


    "Cough! Cough!" The boy coughed lightly before he groaned. Then, he opened his eyes and looked around him. All of them stared back at him curiously, waiting for him to do something or say something.


    "... Good evening," Arthur muttered in a weak voice.


    "..." (x4)


    "Shit, my body hurts…" Arthur bit his lips as he slowly rose up from the ground. "What the hell happened?"


    "You tell us, man. What was that? You almost sted the entire ce out of existence! What kind of ability did you use?" Herculia asked.


    "..." Arthur blinked dazedly before he looked down at his hands. Luckily, they didn''t look monstrous any more. Although he was still covered in blood. ''What was that transformation? I was feelingpletely different.''


    It felt like an out-of-body experience for Arthur. He was aware and conscious but at the same not. Even his feelings and thoughts werepletely distorted. That was not a part of any of his abilities.


    "Arthur?" Emmy called for him confusedly.


    ''Where did thise fr-'' His eyes suddenly widened.


    That was when Arthur remembered that he had received a notification when that transformation started happening. Quickly, he opened his old notifications and skimmed through them, searching for it.


    [Your health has reached the threshold.]


    [Your new ss ''Berserker Of The New World'' has been activated.]


    "What?" Arthur blurted out. ''New ss? Since when did I have that -. Oh wait…'' Then, it clicked in Arthur''s head. When the boy touched the broken fragment of the shard earlier that day, he received a notification that his main ss had evolved and gave him a secondary new ss.


    Because of the situation, he couldn''t check it there and he eventually forgot about it since there were urgent matters to deal with at that moment.


    ''Ipletely forgot about this new ss. ''Berserker Of The New World'', what does it even do?'' Tapping on it, Arthur opened the ss information.


    [Berserker Of The New World


    Description: The old world is said to be when the Divine Realm lost all its light. The Dark Ages loomed over and death became the only constant. Wars and blood tarnished every corner for one single purpose… A new world order. Those who follow the order shall be safe and those who go astray shall face the wrath of the ones above.


    Only the one who can defy that power shall push the New World to its rightful ce. Even if there is one single drop of blood left in his body.


    Effect: In battle, when the user''s health reaches 5%, they must heal in the next 15 seconds or the soul of the Berserker shall take over for 30 seconds. Causes fatigue and immobility for a certain amount of time after that.]


    "... What?" Arthur muttered. ''What the hell is this ss? The description is eerie.''


    Reading through it, Arthur held his breath for a moment. The description was talking about the new and the old world. But, Arthur didn''t fully understand what any of that meant. However, when he looked deeper into it, he started figuring some things out.


    ''Are they talking about the wars of the distant past to acquire the shards? Hmm, it could be. After the peace was established, that was basically the start of a new age.'' However, still, thatst sentence sent a chill down his spine.


    ''Is it talking about me there?'' He asked himself. Considering the fact that this was a ss given to him, he assumed that it was indeed the case. But, why was it talking about him like that?


    ''Defy the ones above? Oh hell no, I am not doing any of that. Thest thing I want is a conflict with people who have divine shards! I will be erased from existence before I can even realize it.'' Arthur thought to himself. ''Though, the effect of the ss itself is not bad. I felt so powerful at that moment, in such dire situations, that could truly be a trump card I can use.''


    "Arthur?" I snapped her finger in front of his face.


    "Hm? Oh, It''s… Apparently, it''s a new ss I received recently. It transforms me into a Berserker of some sort."


    "A berserker?"


    "Yeah, I don''t know what a Berserker is exactly. But, that''s what it says."


    "Hmm, sounds really ominous to me," Herculiamented.


    At that moment, a door on the other side of the aircraft opened and the two dwarves came out.

    "Is everyone on board?"


    "Yeah, we somehow made it," Emmy replied. "You two were a huge save. Thank you."


    "Hehe, we should be the ones thanking you."


    "Is the aircraft ok?" Danny asked seriously.


    "... Yes, theponents are looking fine and there aren''t any serious damages. We are flying safely." Fiy replied.


    Hearing that, everyone felt a huge amount of relief wash over their bodies. All the tension left them instantly and they almost fell to the ground tired.


    "Ugh, we''re finally done. I can''t move anymore, man!" Herculia grumbled as he sat down to rest.


    "You did well, big guy. Rest." Emmy replied as she threw herself down next to him. She was also very tired after everything that happened. "This trip better gets us close enough to our destination or I''m rioting. We even lost our horses."


    "Considering the amount of energy in the core. We might be able to reach our destination." Serko replied.


    "That would be great. I want to go out and sleep so badly."


    "Me too…"


    With that, the aircraft slowly cut through the air, leaving behind the massive forest as it was embraced by the blue sky again.
