Shuttling Between the Two Worlds

'I did what I could. The rest is up to you.'

Red thought so as he saw a destroyed base of the Dawn Cult. This base used to be one of their more important bases in planet Aquamarine.

Red sent some letters anonymously towards the 7 major powers in regards to info of the Dawn Cult. Sensing the opportunity to weaken the Dawn Cult, one of the biggest evil forces in this planet, they never hesitated ever since they've validated the info that Red sent.

'I hope that you'll both have a happy ending this time.'

Pursuit, hiding, encirclement, trap, the mastermind..

Various visions popped up inside my head. It took a while before I recovered. 

The worst that I had been expecting ever since I got this trait happened. Being immobile due to it, I wasn't able to evade that danger.

When I felt a slight danger, I didn't take any action. I thought that my parents who are at A Rank plus Aria's 2 guardians can handle it.

But then, I didn't expect that the "slight" danger would lead us to a greater danger. After I decided not to make a move, the [Sixth Sense] activated.

Anyways..

"Lugh, Lugh!"

"Mn. I'm fine."

"Thank god.. I was worried when you collapsed."

I then proceeded to ask an important question.

"Where are we?"

"No clue. We seem to have been teleported in a forest."

Forest again..

Anyways, the scenes that my vision told me is troublesome. The "Boss" that we would face here is an SSS+ Rank that could burst out with an EX- Rank's power momentarily.

What the heck. I thought that SSS+ Rank is the highest rank here?! The water in Aquamarine is much deeper than it seems.

I didn't see myself on my visions, but I saw black robed men chasing after us. There are more than 3 teams, and each of their leaders are at S+ Rank.

The head of those teams are SS+ Ranks. Above that is the highest levelled SSS+Rank. In short, we got transported in the enemy territory.

As for how we should've survived this scenario in Red's past life..

[Dragon Form(LV4)]

-An exclusive racial trait of the half-dragons. Allows them to transform into their dragon forms.

-The dragon form has a 400% enhanced resistance against all type of attacks.

-During the dragon form, physical, magical, and mental attacks are increased by 200%.

-At the current level, the dragon form will be at SS- Rank.

-Even if the possessor is not in dragon form, there will still be a 100% enhanced resistances against all type of attacks and 80% increased in damage dealt.

(Since the possessor of this trait isn't a pure-blooded dragon, the transformation will be limited to 30 minutes.)

Yup, Aria's trait. Even if there's many S Ranks that would chase us, we might still survive. 

But then, here's an important thing: It's their home base. Many reinforcements, those SS+ Ranks, and the dreaded SSS+ Rank. Not matter how I look at it, it's our luck that we survived all this.

Yes, luck. The said opportunity to nullify the danger is a hidden teleportation array inside their base. It leads to somewhere.

Surviving to get through the Teleportation array is very hard, thus surviving in this place can only be attributed to luck.

"Aria, do you know a way for a very strong Combatant, around SSS+ Rank, to appear?"

"SSS+ Rank? Let's see.. Ah!"

"What is it?"

"Hibernation!"

Turns out, most higher ranked forces actually Hibernated in a very special coffin. Forces of S~EX Rank we're the only ones given this privilege.

As for my parents, they stayed awake just to conceive me and my sister.

Hiding my strength in this situation isn't reasonable. After sighing inwardly, I finally made up my mind.

"Aria."

"Mn?"

"What you'll see from now on will be our secret, alright?"

"Un!"

She replied immediately. This girl...

I started my preparations. First of all, I grabbed a silver ball on my Subspace. Surprise, surprise. It's an armor meant for Aria.

I asked my Master if I could get some spare armaments in case of emergencies, and he agreed. He said that it's just some leftovers from his adventures back then.

But these leftovers.. They're all SSS+ Ranked. Though, she can't fully control the armor as it is due to her rank lacking. Thus, its abilities are restricted to A+ Rank. 

Still, its basic durability is still at SSS+ Rank.

"Here, catch."

I threw the ball to Aria.

"This is?"

"Can you insert your mana? You'll see it soon."

"Un!"

She did as she was told. The silver ball turned into countless nanomachines and attached onto her body, forming an armor.

"A gift.."

"That's right. It's a gift."

"Lugh.. For me.."

I then grabbed a silver longsword in my subspace and gave it to her too.

"This, too."

"A gift.."

She seemed quite absent-minded, so I told her the reason why I had all of this.

"If you wanna ask about how I got these, let's just say that I have an extraordinary Master."

"Master? I see.."

Well, that's it? I didn't expect for her to quickly believe what I said.

"Let's keep this a secret between the two of us, okay?"

"Un!"

She became strangely happy after that. Even if I'm not a dense guy, I couldn't understand this..

"So, Aria. Let's get out of here first. Pursuers might be coming. That guy who teleported us is hostile, right? This might be a part of their plan."

"I understand! Where do we go?"

"Wait a minute."

'Xiao Song, can you use the [Domain Detection]?'

{Understood. Utilizing Domain Detection.. Scanning Complete.}

{Master there are currently 5 S+ Ranks within your 10,000m radius. Along with them, there are also 10 A+ Ranks with every S+ Ranks.}

{Overall, there are a total of 1 SSS+ Rank, 2 SS+ Rank, and 20 S+ Ranks within a 1,000,000m radius.}

What the.. Just how the hell did they have such a large force?!

'Xiao Song, can you detect where most of them are gathered?'

{In the 300,000m North. The SSS+ Rank is also located there, along with 2 SS+ Ranks and 5 S+ Ranks.}

I see. That's where their base is located, along with the teleportation array too.

"To the North. Also, activate your Stealth module."

"Okay. By the way, how?"

Ah, I forgot about this. She didn't have the basic knowledge of the Combatants back in the Otherworld. 

"First, do this.."

It took exactly a minute before we activated it. I also activated my [Entity Obfuscation] module as well, erasing my presence entirely. This can work against S+ Ranks. 

As for the higher ones, it won't work completely. It can at most erase our vibes and physical appearance. Though, it might be enough already.

Meanwhile, Aria's Stealth module is much worse, being limited to A+ Rank. Still, she can barely deceive those S+ Ranks as long as they're not nearby.

"Let's go."

"Un!"

Base infiltration, I didn't expect that we'll do something like this.. I didn't do better on "stealth is optional" games as well..

Stealth, here we go..
