Chapter 303 Path Of Star Task, Escaping
[My lord, did you enjoy the life in the trial?]
'I sure did.'
Arkhen felt good. It's like he somehow progressed but didn't know in what way.
The feelings, upheaval, sadness, joy, and everything he experienced there was real.
On the other hand, Isabella moved to the 2nd trial, where she would train and power up.
'How many days passed here?'
[One day]
'Oh…'
Arkhen sounded disappointed. He wished more time had passed instead.
…
While Arkhen was tortured, the girls made significant progress in their plan.
In an underground chamber of one of the smaller organizations…
Sierra, Meya, Luna, Sasha, Zoe, and Evelyn sat at a round table in their fancy black outfits with a hood and a veil that hid their faces.
"Did everyone succeed in completing their first milestone of the path of stars?" Sierra asked.
Everyone except Evelyn nodded.
"I have a small trouble. The thing I have to do is to save a bunch of kidnapped beastfolks. However, I…I didn't take the risk to do it myself," Evelyn said with hesitation.
Evelyn sighed and continued, "I was afraid that if I somehow failed to save them, they would get killed."
"It's ok. We will help you. Sometimes, you are meant to take help from others in your path of stars," Sasha said with a smile. "It's not like you have to do everything by yourself."
"Then let's make our move tonight and save those beastfolk kids," Zoe said before holding her sister's hand and smiling, "We will save them, Eve."
[While waiting for the night, you can purity today's Dream Fragment]
Velshi appeared in her cute ball with big eyes and wings form.
"Alright."
The girls went inside Mystic Wonderland and purified the Dream Fragment in an hour before returning.
They started making plans on how to save the beastfolk kids after asking for their location from Evelyn.
Soon, the night arrived…
At 1 AM, the girls moved in shadows with their Shadow Drift talent.
They had to make use of this Shadow Drift talent to full because this talent would disappear once they broke through and become a 2nd realm powerhouse.
Moving through shadows in the night, the girls quickly arrived at the hidden warehouse behind a big store named Risen Sun.
They easily sneaked inside the warehouse with their shadow drift talent and saw over twenty Beastfolk kids imprisoned inside a red wooden prison with eccentric patterns.
'This… The security was not tight the last time I came here,' Evelyn talked in the telepathic network formed among them using reality motes.
'This is indeed going to be troublesome. Those three people are 2nd realm powerhouses,' Sierra said as she narrowed her eyes.
'Velshi, show us their status, please.'

'They are more powerful than us, but not too much. Don't forget that we also have an innate physique like them even though we haven't reached 2nd realm's power status.'
Innate Physique was a specialty of the 2nd realm, but the girls already had it.
With their innate physiques and combat arts, all of them had around 2k in all stats.
'It's my fault. I think they noticed my presence when I came here previously and tightened the security.'
'Evelyn, stop blaming yourself. We can do this,' Zoe said.
'Alright, girls. Although my class-10 potions won't work much longer on them, they will still affect them. So I'll start by throwing three class-10 Dizzy Spell potions,' Sasha said.
'Good. We will go all out and save them after Sasha throws her potions. If things go awry, I will use my realm artifact. It's a sure-fire protection.'
…
Five minutes later…
'What do we do now?' Luna asked as a frown appeared on her face.
Inside a mystical green-blue barrier Sierra produced from her Realm Artifact, the girls and Beastfolk kids were….trapped.
"Hmmm, mind telling who the hell you are?" a short man wearing a black suit stood outside the barrier. He snorted and continued, "And why do you want to save these beastfolk kids?"
Along with the short man, there were ten more 2nd realm powerhouses.
"Also, take off your hoods and veils. Even if this barrier is protecting you, for now, it won't stay active forever, right? Hahaha," the short man said as he laughed.
[Grab your hands and calm your energies. Fortunately, this barrier is from a Realm Artifact and possesses an absolute law power that won't affect the teleportation]
'What's the plan?' Sierra asked. Previously, Velshi told them she was talking with Arkhen about a solution.
[The plan is to teleport you forcefully. Since we are in this dimension, it will cost 10,000 reality essence and 200,000 reality motes. The cost is high, but we have no choice. Get ready]
Hearing that they got a solution to escape this predicament, Zoe and Meya grinned.
"Fat, short, and ugly pig! Don't let us see you next time, or we will make a pork cutlet out of you and throw it to your own men," Zoe said as she snickered and mocked the short fat man.
"You!"
The short man became livid as he pointed his index finger at the barrier and shouted, "Attack this damn barrier! I am going to let them experience living hell!"
"Hey, shorty. Your short dick must be the size of my nail, right? Barely two or three centimeters… hahaha," Meya's ruthless words almost caused the short man to puke out blood.
"I'll skin you alive!"
However, the girls grabbed each other's hand and told those small kids who were barely five to six years old to do the same.
The people outside the barrier were attacking, but the barrier was not budging at all. Not even a tremble or a crack.
"What are they doing?" someone in the group of attackers questioned as he saw them grabbing each other's hands.
"Just attack them!"
Alas, two seconds after everyone grabbed each other's hands, the short man whose eyes had turned red saw them disappearing in a blink.
"AAARGHHHH!"
The short man screamed like an angry pig. "Find them and bring them to me!"
