They were shocked, seeing me leaping at the rift, but reacted instantly and attacked.
All seven of them had launched powerful attacks, and I am glad no one dared to appear in front of me. Even they wouldn't risk appearing in front of the rift in which I might push them.
Now, I have to survive these attacks coming from my left and right and I really hope, my most trusted defensive measures will show their reliability again.
BANG!
Attacks came, but before they could touch me. They crashed against something invisible, which became visible.
The red shield on the right had materialized and as the attack of a woman crashed against it. It shook and lit up, but other than that, there was no visible change in it.
BANG BANG BANG!
A fraction of a second later, the attacks crashed against the shield, making the green shield on the right materialize.
They took the attacks and shook before lighting up, and that is all they did. There were no cracks or pushed me back and it shocked them.
They could realize now that I am weaker than them, but they see my shields taking the attack without a single crack.
They are having a hard time believing it.
The shields are no common shields, but the ones weaved out of my strings. If looked clearly, they will see the shadow of runes and the hidden ancient runes, that I don't want anyone to see.
The strong shields were amazing before, but now they have become even more amazing.
Still, I would have liked to test it against the full power. Here, they have used powerful moves, but they are not their strongest.

I don't want to get captured again, ever.
Their attack is finished, and they are launching the second one, but it will never reach me.
I had reached the rift, and now I was stepping into it, with no hesitation. Since I had decided on it; there is no need to hesitate with it.
I stepped into the rift, which was flickering rapidly. Only two things could happen now. I could either be cut into different pieces and each piece of me sent to a different place, or I could come out safely on the other side.
I will know it within a second.
Thud!
For a moment, everything turns dark before light appears. However, I didn't have even a moment to see what this light held, before I crashed into something hard.
The rock exploded into pieces as I stopped myself.
For a moment, all I could see was dust. Everything cleared, and I found myself on a stony hill, or rather a quarry, with a couple of eyes on me.
I looked around and saw people in uniform, holding the pick-axes.
For a moment, I thought they were captive seeing the past experience I had, but soon realized they were not.
They are in better shape and have no colors. There are also no signs of the daily power blockages in their bodies.
They are just simple workers.
I spread my soul sense far and wide and soon a smile appeared on my face. As I sat down, thinking about my step.
I have already decided on it, and I will take it.
Still, it is hard to believe, that a year ago, I was so opposed to it and now, I am taking it. Well, the circumstances have changed and with it, I will need to change despite the risks.
A few seconds later; a middle-aged man with glassy scales came flying toward me.
He had anger in his eyes, but the moment he got close, and sensed my aura. His expression took a sudden turn, and he shook before landing gently and bowing.
"What can I do for you, Earth-Sovereign?" he asked.
"I wish you no harm; the only thing I need is information," I replied to the man, who was on the same level as me.
An Initial Level Sovereign.
"Please ask, Earth Sovereign," he said politely. "Where I am? Which city is closest and which organization under this place falls?" I asked and could see relief appearing in his eyes.
"This is Rekus mine, is owned by the city Harf, which is also the closest city from here and it falls into the dominion of the Basdat organization," he replied, and a small smile appeared on my face.
"Thank you for the information," I thanked, he seemed surprised, but nodded politely and flew away, understanding he was dismissed.
I didn't move away and instead looked at the place; I had come from. There is a faint, tiny rift, which is harmless.
I looked away a moment later and, stare ahead.
Several minutes passed when I simply sighed, and a crystal card appeared in my hand.
It had an emblem of a spear and crossed knives, unlike the crystal card; I had taken out a year ago. It didn't activate on its own; it is the only card among the prime, who will not do that.
It will activate only when I want to.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBuzz!
I looked at it for a few seconds before I activated the card. As I did, it buzzed, and I felt it was leaving a mark on my body.
I didn't resist it and let it little on me.
The place I have appeared is a distance away from the three organizations sharing the ruin, but still not that far.
I am also glad, that I didn't change the continent because the card I had activated belongs to the organization of this continent. It would have bummer if I had appeared on a different continent.
I looked at the emblem on the card that I might join.
Yes, I am planning on joining the organization.
A year ago, I was vehemently opposed to it, but the year in captivity had forced me to change my mind.
So, I have chosen to join the organization, which suits me the most and helps me with what I want to do.
The one I have chosen is not the strongest, but it is the best.
Even Abril and Keva had a high praise for them, and I truly hope, it is what they have described.
I put the card back in my storage and flew away. I didn't fly away for long and stopped an hour later, which seemed to be a secluded spot.
I landed on the ground and took out my abode before walking inside it.
I didn't set it up in the hidden spot. Though I had set formation, that anyone below Earth Sovereign would have a hard time finding it.
I am not hiding, just waiting.
I hope they will give me priority, as the man handed me had said they would give me or it would be a long wait and it is time that is on the line, but also the lives of hundreds of people.
They are still there, and I want them to be rescued as soon as possible and those responsible punished.
