C 6. Extraction

There are several levels of Orbiters, and if one reaches a certain level, a mere thought of them by a lower life form will trigger their sense.

That is why now Daniel's father was able to sense some ill thoughts from Daniel and gazed at him for a moment. This usually happens if the person was closed by. 

"You will be giving what you need, and the rest will be up to you. I will be waiting for you to stand beside me after you leave Mother City."

That's all he said before he left.

'By all likelihood the Elders pressure him to come and lecture us. Hmm? and the only thing that he said, worth mentioning, is that he accepted us to stand beside. 

As if we will be qualified!' 

Other Elders and teachers lecture them mostly on how to keep their clan prestige and how to uplift it. 

All in all, there were only 117 students that were going to the Maze. But it was said that they will meet someone that will guide them and give them first-hand info on the current Maze.

After the long lecture, Daniel and the rest left to finish their individual preparation.

…

The people from Ocean Empire have finished their preparation. They stay in a hall waiting for extraction.

Within half a day everyone was ready for extraction. Adam has already stored his carriage and somehow the leopards disappeared. 

The dome has already stopped moving, so everyone was just floating in place 

And now he was standing on a solid white platform gazing at the numerous groups that were all floating within the dome from their behaviour the moment the students were extracted the beasts will turn and return where they come from.

"All of you are special young gifted. Most of those outsides, never tested any special ability, but you do," a lady in black said by pointing at the riders outside.

"What I want you to do is that the moment you obtain an Orb is to be careful with how you transform. 

Transformation ability is the most difficult because it carries more danger to humans. So be careful. 

Another thing is to make sure you avoid each other. You already know that being together will bring a mishap to you." 

The lady covered in complete black was speaking at a group of children about 14-17 years old.

She turned and looked at one boy in particular. "Abe, you will hold the map. Notify Alisha the moment one of you is in danger."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Alisha, try to save your mates, okay! And be patient. If you can't handle it, seek help from Ang."

"Yes, ma'am." Alisha was a young girl, with average looks.

"Stay out of danger and reach the Mother City fast." 

"Yes ma'am." All of them said in unison.

They were inside an abode on top of a giant golden eagle.

….

Single-day was more than enough for the whole group to prepare for extraction. Some think that they will be teleported, some think a giant ship will come and take them.

The guiding Elder of those that were travelling on the ground was sitting down on a rock when his black horse came running to him.

When the horse reached him, he saw a dark greenish Orb floating beside the horse. He immediately brought out a rectangular silver plate. And the Orb went through the plate and disappeared.

"Where did you find this Orb?" The horse neighs and the elder understand.

'So this is the core Orb of the monster that tries to attack the Ancient Turtle. Damn, the Orb is Step Six calibre! So, at what level is the Turtle."

'Elder BlackHorse!' The elder immediately bowed. 

'In one minute!'

'Yes!'

The moment the elder stood properly, he shouted, and his voice travelled through the camp of 500 thousand people.

…

All activity of the four different groups froze.

Those in the Ancient King Gale Turtle were standing in the white palace of the White Gale city waiting.

In the larger group, some are sitting inside the ships, some floating outside, some sitting on their beasts. 

Adam was just standing on his white platform, his hands folded. He was ready since before the Supreme Elder announced they would leave in a minute.

Those within the Ocean Empire have been waiting half a day ago. The prince smiled faintly hearing what the High Elder Mora said. 

High Elder Mora tried pursuing the prince to press that they should be taken to the gate by the Ocean Empire but the prince refused. 

As for High Elder Blackhorse, he was sitting on his horse waiting.

…

"Allow me to do it," The elderly woman said on the highest mountain.

"No. I should respect them all. Each of the four groups has come with a Supreme Elder to guide them." 

"This batch is lucky."

"It's necessary, there might be a war in the foreseeable future. I hope they will be ready when the time comes!"

…

All candidates felt light and floated. From all the four groups people started to float at the same time. 

Daniel felt himself moving, crossing the dome that was protecting the city. He and the rest of them. He smirks.

He knows that the dome was purposely left on to see how they will leave the city. 

But what happened is that there was this transparent bubble that covered them.

The bubble is both material and in-material and can pass through solid objects even if it was carrying a solid object from inside.

This phenomenon happens everywhere. High Elder Mora even elevates the security of the Ocean Empire to see how powerful the Mother City Supreme is.

But seeing the prince encased in a bubble and the bubble pace through all the defences and even the Emperor Ocean himself was humble when the bubble passed.

'How was he a supreme! This is literally the power of the Gods!!!' He fainted. 

Only he and the other Supreme understand what that seemingly ordinary bubble was.
