NEETS
Chapter 28: The Journey to the Wind Crystal

the day before R and his friends head to where the crystal element is. The fairy king Astrea provides special training for R and his friends. the training uses a special tool made by the fairy king Astrea where their consciousness will be sent to another virtual world. where in the virtual world it has a very different time with the virtual world in NEET.

one day in the world of NEET is equal to 1 year in the virtual world created by the fairy king Astrea.

strange indeed when you are trapped in the virtual world, but have to go to the virtual world again to practice.

and what is still a mystery is also the power of the fairy king Astrea.he can make strange tools and can also manipulate the material in this world and then form it at will.

one day has passed.seen from the body of R and his friends there is no change but what is inside them has actually developed very rapidly.

they rested for a day and set out at night, because the guard was not too tight at night.

their destination is the main island where there are large trees because around the main island the guard is very tight.The fairy king Astrea made R and his friends an underground road.

the fairy king Astrea slapped the ground not far from the fairy village. After patting the ground, a tremor ensued. the ground right in front of the shifting fairy king then opening a door was a secret path leading to the main island.

"i can only take you here, so it's up to you to be careful inside" said the fairy king Astrea.

R and his friends then entered the door opened by the fairy king. After they all entered.The door was closed and they continued their journey.

the underground passage was starting to darken but they had already prepared for it. Jack took out a wood that had been wrapped in thick cloth then Mia used fire magic to burn the cloth.

just a torch is not enough to illuminate the darkness in the underground path, then R took out his sword and used his light magic then flowed it to the sword so as to make the situation even brighter.

they continued to walk forward until they finally found the light source.they headed for the light source and sure enough they made it to the dungeon.

the prisons were mostly empty and mostly contained corpses. Many of the corpses were scattered along the way. it could be that it was the roots of a giant tree that was on the main island.

R and friends walked slowly through the corpses scattered in the street.Their smell was so pungent and very unpleasant.

but just a few steps walked suddenly Mia and Lana shouted.

"kyaaaaah!!" that was the cry of both of them

one of the corpses held onto Lana and Mia's legs as well, and slowly the corpse moved. Panicked Mia instantly used fire magic to burn them, while Lana used purification magic that set the corpses on fire.

because of that, the corpses began to rise, and it turned out that they were all not ordinary corpses but Undead creatures.

undead creatures are creatures that are quite annoying they are very difficult to defeat.The way to kill them is to completely eliminate it. If only cut off part of his body they will continue to rise and will continue to pursue.

R and the comrades tried their hardest to avoid the Undead. They did not want to waste their energy fighting the Undead. so R and the comrades just kept lunging forward before the Undead got up again.

not long after being seen from a distance can be seen a door above the dungeon, and there are also stairs leading to the door.

The high-speed jack climbed up first to ensure the door on the ceiling of the dungeon could be opened. jack quickly climbed up the stairs and then he checked the door and it turned out that the door was locked tightly, like something was blocking from the outside.

"buddies!! please hold those Undead for a few minutes I have an idea." cried Jack from the top of the stairs.

"well" answer everything.

Mia used ice magic to create a retaining wall. whereas Lana used healing magic to attack those Undead.It turns out that the Undead are weak with healing magic.healing magic will only make the Undead in pain. meanwhile R used his light sword to fight the Undead. The light sword was also very effective against the Undead sword it would give a heat effect on the Undead.

meanwhile Jack took something out of his pocket the tool was in the form of a radio box with a red button in the middle.on the back of the tool there is an adhesive that must be removed first.

Jack removed the adhesive then attached the tool to the ceiling door. After that Jack pressed the red button in the middle of the tool and rushed down from the stairs he climbed.

after descending and reaching the surface of the Land Jack shouted "everything is happy!!"

not long after the explosion occurred, the explosion exceeded expectations to make the ceiling of the underground prison partly also destroyed and the debris fell.

R and his friends run to the stairs to get to the surface, but in the middle of their escape one of the stones hit Mia's head and made her fall to the ground. mia's feet were immediately caught by the Undead and the Undead pulled her.

"help me!!!" yell Mia

the ruins the more time to get out of the dungeon the less. R and Lana want to save Mia, but Jack holds them back and says.

"R you just take Lana with light steps. Mia's business let me save her"

"well" said R

R immediately holds Lana and uses light steps to rise to the surface and she succeeds, but shortly after escaping the dungeon collapses instantly.

"jackk!!" yells R

not long from the ruins suddenly someone lunged up into the ruins and landed right in front of R and Lana and Momo cat mode that was on R's back. that person was Jack who was carrying Mia with his hands like a princess.

"thank God you're safe" said Lana

Jack took Mia down and then Mia stood up again and cleaned her body from the dust that stuck.after that Mia also lowered her body and said.

"it's not that Mia's important you survived and we're all unharmed" replied R

after further observation, the dungeon is a secret path to a giant tree in the middle of the main island.

the guards were not aware of the whereabouts of R and the comrades, and then they went straight to the entrance into the giant tree.

but right in front of the entrance someone was waiting.The man was a rather short fat gaff with small glasses in his right eye. he greeted R and his friends with applause and congratulated them.

"congratulations.congratulations for you guys have made it here" said the man.

R and his friends immediately prepared their weapons, but the fathers at the door immediately looked panicked.

"a, I don't want to fight you. I'm just a merchant. I don't have the ability to fight. But if you really want to fight please just be with my pet" said the father.

suddenly the merchant's father took out a small knife from his pocket, he directly pointed the knife into his hand and scratched it into his hand until blood dripped from his hand.

after the father's blood dripped suddenly the entrance to the giant tree was broken down from the inside to the bottom.

a giant 3-headed and black dog-shaped creature emerged from behind the broken door and shattered it. There was a chain also on its neck that was connected directly into the giant tree. the gentlemen in front of him looked very happy and laughed out loud when the creature came out.

"huahahaha, this is the guardian of the sacred tree. Cerberus.if you want to go inside you have to face him first" said the father.

but suddenly Cerberus quickly attacked and caught the father with his claws.he thrust his claws directly into the father's body and made him die instantly. after that, he ate Cerberus with a bite.

cerberus also began to look towards R and his friends.he immediately attacked them without looking reed.

mia swiftly cast ice magic and made a retaining wall to withstand Cerberus's attack. Momo jumps from R's back and transforms into a giant lion to help their defense.

Lana also uses Cheer and Shell magic to strengthen the attack and defense. R ran towards the left of Cerberus.he used a flame to change the shape of his weapon and immediately aimed at the neck of Cerberus.

meanwhile, Jack pulled out an explosive arrow and directly targeted Cerberus' right head.

meanwhile Mia casts an ice spear magic and targets Cerberus' right head.

although their attacks are almost simultaneously and look perfect, but all of them are easily defeated by Cerberus.

from his left head he gushed R with a burst of ice. R tried to hold it with his fire shield but the ice burst was too strong and kept freezing R.

meanwhile the right head of the cerberus let out a burst of fire and instantly melted all the ice spears emitted by Mia.

he throws Momo in giant lion mode and dodges an explosive arrow from Jack.

after that Cerberus spurted Jack with a burst of ice from his left head and made the jack freeze as well.then spit a fireball from his right head and hit Lana right.

Jack and R froze. Momo in giant lion mode slumps, and Lana is hit by a fireball explosion all of whom are easily injured by Cerberus, and only Mia remains.

Mia had looked frightened, her body was trembling and she had fallen limp.

"why, why can't I always do anything to help them!!" lamented Mia.

"ka, you are not that kind of person Mia. You have also trained hard.don't give up that easily" said Lana from behind Mia who was injured and tried to stand up.

seeing that there was still standing Cerberus was angry.he immediately ran towards Mia and Lana.

"you're right Lana. I can't give up here. I don't want to continue being a burden. I've also grown stronger.!!"

after saying that Mia's eyes immediately shone blue.The surrounding ground shook making a very extraordinary turmoil. Mia began to absorb the surrounding elements such as water, earth and wind.then from her body came the power of lightning and also fire.she condensed all the power of the element in one small circle.

cerberus was getting closer and had taken out his claws to tear Mia apart, but Mia quickly directed the compaction of the element to Cerberus and made Cerberus instantly bounce off the attack.

after that Mia's body began to drift. the five elemental forces began to surround her. Like wanting to protect Mia. afterwards Mia destroyed the ice that froze R and Jack. and after that Lana quickly healed their wounds.

"wow.. Mia's an incredible power." R said

"yes, this is the power I learned after the training I did with the tools of the fairy king I call this the power of Elemnta" Mia replied.

Jack started to stand up and pulled out his dagger, as did R, Lana, and Momo

"you think you're the only Mia that's developed.we've also been." said Jack.

"yes, this time I will release my maximum strength so as not to lose to you Mia" said Lana.

"guys?" sahut Mia's.

"let's defeat Cerberus and achieve our goal.!!" the word R encourages.

"let's go, our friends, defeat the cerberus with all our strength!!" terika Mia's
