With the charge of the team starting, everyone was clear that every step they took would be a fight for their life and death and that they had to put their lives on the line for this.
But all charged bravely and were deploying the fullest extent of their powers and abilities. They were using up a great amount of energy as they went and knew that they would probably be like a candle that could die in the wind by the time they reach Garenjazz.
The Gryphon Squadron was in better shape than the rest.
Lim's instant calculation, Will's teleportation, and Fish's fast and skillful navigation allowed the team to progress faster. They had little need to use their defensive techs to resist the random explosions occuring around them.
Lim's eyes remained open as she refused to make a quick blinks. The luck of the attacks exploding around them would happen at any time. The group progressed smoothly, but Lim was carefully guarding the area.
"This is only a weak form of Garenjazz's power. The level of luck that we are experiencing could be countered by skill and ability. But this trickster is wearing me down!" Lim cursed.
Lim had sought to become like Arthur since she read his bio and tried to copy the power of instant calculation.
She had ordered Will to keep creating an opening to the void realm. It was only a small opening, like a peaking hole that Lim kept gazing into.
Cliff used his memory to keep the formulas and math active, but in the battle which moved beyond the natural three dimensions, he could not use most of his memory as he failed to understand the mathematics of it all. But then, the attacks stopped and Lim felt that her rhythm was being hindered.
"I will not be defeated! You think I can't see that?!" Lim shouted angrily.
"Will! Teleport with Ivan beyond the right wall and you should reach inside the room. Fight your way through and open the door to let us in! You have four seconds." Lim ordered and Will and Ivan disappeared.
They moved and found themselves in the middle of several armed men.
But Ivan and Will spared no wasted moments and moved like a blur, and killed the men around.
Will jumped and jumped to find the controls of the door and opened it allowing the rest of the Gryphon Squadron to enter.

A massive explosive swiped occurred that tore the entire area at the side.
"How... did you do that?!" Suarez asked as he saw the path behind him collapse and become crushed. They would have all died in that attack.
"I saw the rendition of the dreamworld in the command center. It was fast and I only caught a glimpse of it. And with our hack of the map of this place, I've been contemplating how the battle spills out. It isn't as complicated as you think it is. The dream world and this place are connected and overlap each other. But it seems that the world has been intentionally made unstable that the attacks and explosions in that place are erupting into this place."
"But that doesn't explain how you saw it! I can't see anything in the Void Realm!"
"You were trained to travel in it. But I was studying the math of it. You won't see them, but the math is there!" Lim answered as her eyes suddenly caught sight of the changes.
"It looks like Garenjazz sensed us. The battle is turning towards this direction!"
"Then this is bad...!" Epic cursed.
"It's good. It means Cliff and the gang can push faster. We pressure that man to turn his luck against us! Lim! You have to overcome!"
"Aye aye, Commander," Lim answered and the group left.
In the dream world, the battle continued with the group exhausting themselves of their energy to fight and limit Garenjazz's playful actions.
He didn't move so much but kept making feints and taunts that forced everyone to unleash their attacks.
"I must hand it to you, earthlings. Your friends are quite interesting. One uses the power of skill to see through the sprinkles of luck that I have out there... But this other one... it's the power of Prophecy! Do you know that that power has long been lost? So the Lost Primordial was here. You may have changed things a bit and used the situation to fool us, but the general truth about the Lost Primordial being on earth is real... I guess, my luck is changing!" Garenjazz laughed as he made a sweeping kick which the Adult and Lynd had to meet and stop.
BOOM!
The entire realm cracked as Lynd harnessed a powerful form and used the power of Unity with the Adult!
"Die!" Seeker rushed in, still carrying Vender with him. Seeker used the power of ice to freeze Vender on his back and wore him like a backpack that allowed him to move. Seeker deployed two of Lennox's stronger lightning weapons and created a doubly powered Sword like Lighting.
SLASH!
But the entire slash missed as Garenjazz simply moved back and made a backhand at Seeker.
"Seeker!" Zeraphine charged in with her Throne and released Zetayne Light to block the slap.
BANG!
Zeraphine was knocked back and Seeker slashed out his sword as Zeraphine managed to hold the arm of Garenjazz.
SLASH!
The arm of Garenjazz was slashed through! But then his body began to dissipate.
"What?! It was a dream?!" Lynd was shocked.
"The realm is changing! The outside is being repaired!" Zoe explained.
"What?! But how?! How can this ship regain form and stability when our teams had already infiltrated and made such attacks?!"
Garenjazz suddenly appeared in a larger form.
"It's my luck, really. All the things that your allies destroyed, were things that I always had a backup for. The entire ship of mine was designed to be lucky. Shackstress knows how annoying it is to have a large ship. I reckon that's how you got done in by these brats. Your power senses the most minuscule of changes would have allowed you to see all the spies inside... But somehow they beat you. That's your mistake. You never had a way to easily rebuild what was lost. That's what makes a Principal differ from a mere Top-Tier Presider!" Garenjazz ranted.
KZZZT!
It was only then that Seeker realized the rant took long that his Sword like Lightning ran out of energy and died out!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Time has changed! The speed of Time is slower!" The Adult noticed and cursed. Garenjazz was ranting to make them waste energy!
But none of them undid their forms but kept their power at the ready.
"He wants to beat us by attrition! He's not fighting to kill us! He's so confident that he thinks he can capture all of us!" Lynd gritted his teeth in anger as he looked at the laughing face of Garenjazz.
"I told you, my luck is changing. My future might be unlucky, so despite it pushing my current luck to its limits, I have to capture you all if I want to survive what's coming. This is my gamble! I'm even being more lenient in the group of people that survived my first punch. They are quite skilled! I want all of them. I'll devour them into this dream world, and you will all be part of my dreams! Well, except maybe you, Shackstress." Garenjazz laughed.
"Creating a Presider is costly because you need to recreate the Nefilus suit. But you think that if you have us... you can recreate copies of us?"
"Exactly! You would take half the price to make, but you can already kill Presiders!"
"Interesting... It seems that your power is something that we desperately need! Lynd... We have no choice." Seeker spoke.
"Right. We best show what we are capable of..." Lynd sighed.
"Zeraphine. Stay back and help us from afar. Shackstress... Since you are in me, you should know what we are planning."
"Unity. Of course, I know. I guess, I also have to toss away all pretenses and reveal that I used my last soul powers to hide in you to escape the curse of the Primordial. I can help. And I haven't been idle when I was staying inside of you. Let Zeraphine join in. I'll use my powers to link her." Zoe answered.
The two Seekers and Lynd were surprised at her words.
"Trust me. Zeraphine, do not resist!" Zoe moved towards Zeraphine and held on to her head.
The soul of the future Zeraphine began to move and create a link.
Seeker turned to Garenjazz.
"How patient of you to wait."
"Well, I have to see what you're capable of. After I deal with you, I'll have the strongest Presiders on our planet to fight with. And since the battle in that ship led by Principal Dormin ought to be a chaotic one, I'll fight against the strongest Presiders in all history! Go on, show me your final forms!"
"Your too arrogant, Garenjazz. You think you can conquer us?"
"Yes. Luck is on my side."
"Luck is something that we will just overcome!" Lynd shouted and the power of Unity appeared.
