"We are in a chaotic realm," the red-haired girl explained.
Thanks to the time he studied back at the academy, Emery knew that the term "chaotic realm" referred to a galaxy that had not been claimed by neither humans nor elves.
This could mean both bad news and good news. Good news because they didn't have to worry that an army of elves would suddenly appear in front of them. Bad news because they now didn't know what they should do to reach out to the human alliance.
But all in all, this revelation made him feel relieved as it meant they weren't in immediate danger any longer.
"This is good right!?"
On the other hand, Silva was not sure on what she felt about this, as it certainly relied on what kind of galaxies they were in. After all, it remains to be seen whether they are actually safe or not.
Despite the fact that both humans and elves had been superior civilizations, they simply could not possibly cover all of the galaxies in this vast universe.
Overall, there were 9 realms in total, 3 owned by the elves, 3 by the humans, and the remaining 3 were considered as chaotic realm; in which each of them contained tens of thousands of galaxies.
The majority of them had been labeled as chaotic due to the fact that they were located on the borders between humans and also the elves' territory. Many were located on the furthest reaches of the universe that conquering them wasn't worth the trouble, and a few were just in conditions that were simply not feasible to live in.
"Can you tell me which galaxies we are in?" Silva asked Annara.
The red-haired girl took a deep sigh and shook her head.
"Unfortunately we are in the middle of the borders," Annara replied.
A relieved look appeared on Silva's face after she heard what Annara herself had said.
"Don't you think that this is still good news for us? We can just go to the nearest planet with the human magus outpost."
"Huh, easy for you to say… We have lost our thrusters, which means we can only fly at impulsive speed, that can only be considered almost dead in the water!"
"Alright, then all we need is just waiting for help to come, nothing to worry about," Silva replied casually as if there was nothing serious.
"Huh! Ignorance is truly bliss," Annara said sarcastically while glancing at Silva.
Feeling offended by Annara's words just now, Silva retorted in a questioning tone, "What is that supposed to mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean.. In fact, I'll help you translate it into a language you can grasp; stupid people are just lucky."
"What are you saying, you bloodsucker bitch!"
Instead of being offended, Annara showed a smile at the insult Silva threw at her.
"Huh! Thank you very much, I will take it as a compliment. Rather than being a venomous hag, I am happy to be a bloodsucker!" Once again, Annara replied with sarcasm.
"What the fu*k!!" It was clear that at this point Silva started to feel her nerves tighten and her emotions go out of control.
Noticing the tension between two girls was about to go past the acceptable point, Emery swiftly stepped in the midst to stop them from raising hands towards each other. After all, internal feud was the last thing they needed in their current situation.
"Stop it you two!" Emery slightly raised his voice to prevent their argument from going to the point of no return.
In fact, he was forced to use all of his strength to keep the two powerful bloodline acolytes at bay.
"Huh! Why are you siding with her? Who is she really!?" Silva said angrily when Emery held her shoulders to stop her from jumping at Annara, as if she was not being treated fairly here.
"I am Annara, I am actually his aunt master, that's why surely he ought to side with me," Annara confidently introduced herself, insinuating her words to annoy Silva more.
However, instead of being agitated when she heard this, Silva smirked and said, "Haha.. Auntie? Now who is the old hag, exactly?"
In contrast with Annara's expectation about Silva's reaction, this time, she was the one who was being ridiculed.
Seeing this, Emery couldn't help but take a deep sigh. These two girls, both are equally erratic and emotional, pretty much similar actually.
"Silva, pause for a moment and let's just listen to what she has to say, shall we?" Emery rubbed his forehead. He felt a bit exhausted trying to calm the dispute between the girls.
Silva became irritated and Annara's smirked face made her even more emotional.
"Alright, since my life is also on the line here, I will tell you. Personally, I am not a fan of betting on our chances. We are not magus hence we are helpless here in space, if even one small elf ship finds us, that will be the end for all of us, you got it?"
Emery nodded and looked intently at her.
"So what's your suggestion, Annara? What's the plan?" He asked.
"The ship has a beacon, so rather than waiting in space for who knows how long, we should land on any habitable planet, if a friendly found us that still solve our problem, but even if the elves caught us, we are still able to have a chance by hiding or fighting." Annara explained. "I can also try to repair the ship, or if we are lucky enough, we might come across a planet with an existing portal gate."
After hearing this, Silva became more relaxed and agreeable. The short quarrel that she had with Annara a moment ago had completely faded from her mind. After that, it was decided that the party headed out to find the nearest livable planet, which they located 2 days away.
The three sat in their own training for the next two days with the hope that none of the elves' ships would come to find them.
Emery himself took out the jar filled with the spirit souls of the two bloodline magus and recalled the sacrifices of magus Leon and Jasper. There had additionally been others whose fate might not be much better than them. Whatever it takes, he really needs to return to headquarters with the two spirit soul and the important information, no matter what.
As for magus Heorgar, this time when he used the [nature blessing] Emery could start hearing some faint beat of life from the demon magus. Hopefully, he would get better soon.
The ship finally arrived at the outskirts of a green-colored planet after three days. Annara was being thorough before stepping down, circling around the planet while inspecting its surface.
"Alright the good news is that I was able to locate a trace of the portal gate. However, we also have bad news. This is a level 3 savage planet with a thick atmosphere that would quickly consume all our fuel as soon as we enter its atmosphere," she explained.
This indicated that if they chose this planet, they would not have enough fuel to get to the next one, and might not even be able to get the ship to fly again. However, since this was the most possible option to choose at the moment, they would take this risk.
Finally, the three decided to choose this planet because the next livable planet was another three days away and it was kind of hard to get there in this state. They would just try to settle down and figure out some things on this strange planet.
"Alright, let's get into the in planet"
