Solo Leveling: I Am The Only Supreme With the Cheating System-Chapter 503: Battle For Survival 6
[Same Day.]
[6:00 PM.]
[Two thousand kilometers from Amerisa.]
Ten sleek, black vehicles sped along the worn-out road, passing countless travelers, all heading to Amerisa.
Nia looked out the window, her gaze lingering on the people, some riding their pets, those who could fly were soaring above.
"Don’t worry, Nia, we’ll get there," her father, Sheehan said, his voice laced with a weariness that belied his reassurance.
Nia turned to her father and smiled softly:
"Thank you, Nia."
Elara, sitting beside Sheehan, turned to face her, a smile on her face.
"Why are you thanking me, Mum?" Nia asked, her brow furrowed slightly.
"You could have used Fafnir, and flown to Amerisa, but you chose to ride with us, which will surely take days." Elara said, her tone a gentle observation, not a reprimand.
Nia chuckled lightly:
"Why would I leave my Mum and Dad to travel alone in such a chaotic time? But..."
Nia looked outside the window:
"Why are there so many cars? Don’t you think we should help some of these people?" she asked, her empathy evident.
"Some of those cars have our critical supplies. There is no guarantee the monsters won’t destroy the whole 16 cities when the gates open... And for the people, they have five days ahead; they’ll make it," Sheehan said, his voice firm, shutting down any argument.
"But Dad?"
"No, Nia. If we helped one, we’d have to help everyone. And we don’t have time for that."
He pushed the acceleration, and the black Lexus shot forward, the nine Audis behind also increased their speed.
Whoosh!
A cold breeze blew past the group, causing them to shiver slightly:
"Dear, it’s getting late, you should close the windows," Elara said, her concern evident in her voice.
"That’s not the wind," Sheehan said, his eyes narrowing.
Nia’s face instantly turned serious; even her father was now tense. The two were Players, high-ranking Players. Nia was a Diamond Medal Holder, while Sheehan was an Elite Medal Holder, so they surely felt the killing instinct carried by the wind.
"Not the wind? Then what’s it?" Elara asked, her voice laced with mild confusion and a hint of dread.
Nia and her father simultaneously turned their heads to the west, five miles from their location, deep in the narrow mountain pass. A red light was emanating.
The two instantly paled.

[Amerisa.]
[Michael’s home.]
"Why should we go to the Game City? We want to stay and protect Amerisa!" Mira yelled, her voice filled with fierce determination.
"Mira... Your brother asked you to go there; staying here will only distract him," Tyson said, his voice patient but burdened.
The two were in the sitting room, with the elders present.
"No, why isn’t he here..." Mira looked up at Tyson:
"Did something happen to my brother?!" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Tyson was taken aback by the question:

"What... Why would you say that?" Tyson asked, his confusion genuine, while Jennifer and Erika exchanged uneasy glances.
"An hour ago, I felt something..." Mira held her chest, her knuckles white.
"My heart tightened, like someone was gripping it... I almost fainted if it hadn’t been for Maria and the others, so tell me... Did something happen to my big brother?!"
Tyson was lost, not knowing how to answer the question. He turned to Erika and Jennifer; Mira and Maria followed his gaze.
"What about you, bestie and Sister-in-law? What happened? You two have been silent from the start, and Reaper, that man (Eins), didn’t come back with you... No matter what you said, I know something happened to my brother!" she yelled, her voice rising.
The Conquerors elders were also confused, not knowing why the group was silent. They surely knew the six were hiding something.
"What are you saying, Bestie---"
"---Just answer my question, Bestie." Mira cut Jennifer off, her voice sharp.
Jennifer sighed: "What makes you think something happened to Micky?"
"Well, after I regained myself."
Mira opened her two palms, joining them together. Before everyone, the dagger Michael gave her appeared on her palms... But, broken.
"This?" she said, her voice barely a whisper.
"...."
"...?!!"
Everyone in the room was stunned speechless.
"Isn’t this Slayer?" Erika asked, her voice filled with a quiet dread.
"Yes, Brother gave it to me," Mira said, tears starting to flow.
"He told me he’d never go anywhere without this, but now... Look!"
Erika sighed deeply. She stood up, walked towards Mira, and squatted down before her. She took the dagger from Mira, then hugged her tightly. Discover hidden tales at novelbuddy
"Your brother is safe, Mira... He was just in an accident and got injured..."
She paused, taking a deep breath, her emotions threatening to overwhelm her. She wasn’t planning on lying to Mira, but to keep her safe, she had to.
"The one who injured him thinks your brother is dead, not knowing he’s just hiding to heal... That same bad guy is coming here, with monsters more dangerous than anything we have ever seen... That’s why he asked us to take you to the Game City... He’ll be back to get you."
"So, he’s okay?"
Erika wiped her own tears, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, making sure Mira and Maria wouldn’t notice her distress.
"Yes. That’s why Reaper and Eins aren’t here..." she added, her voice strained.
Mira thought for some seconds and slowly nodded her head. She wiped her tears and said:
"Then I’ll stay here and fight that fool who injured my brother!"
Erika chuckled weakly: "No, you must respect your brother’s request... And go to the Game City," Erika said, her voice pleading.
Mira was about to refuse, but Jennifer opened her mouth, her voice firm and supportive:
"Yes, Mira, don’t worry... We’ll stay behind and teach him a lesson."
Mira stared at them for some seconds and nodded her head: "Can I have that, Sister-in-law?"
"Sure."
Erika gave her the two dagger’s pieces... Mira smiled gratefully at her.
"Come on, Maria," she added, and raised her bracelet to her lips.
"AI, log me in."
White light surrounded her body, and with one last look around, Mira disappeared from the room. Maria looked around the room, her expression grave, and decided to keep quiet.
"We’ll be waiting for the good news, show those fools who’s the boss," Maria said, tapping her bracelet and disappearing.
Erika collapsed on the ground, crying silently, her emotional fragility exposed.
The elders were even more confused seeing her action, while the two abyssal lords simply lowered their heads, their faces solemn.
