What Comes With Major Trouble

(Robin's POV):

Now that we have arrived to the extra-terrestrial zone, we started moving in a pace without stopping. All of us were flying since we didn't have any gravity which pretty much ruins half of the training.

"This is a mistake, I didn't think that we could just fly over..."

"Yeah, it's kind of unusual for Robin to screw up." - Grace

"True, like what did you eat these last few days? Have you gotten enough sleep?" - Jay

"Perhaps he might've been infected by me." - Ridley

"Jeez guys, ahahaha~" - Rylle

All these were through telepathic communication. Our faces simply just smiled but everyone was laughing happily on this trip.

And yes, I did eat less and sleep less so I think what Jay said might've been true.

"Come on, anyways... We need to find a closed off area and mine through it. Don't worry about the weight that much since we can pretty much hold everything off that easily."

"Alright."

Everyone nodded in response while taking in less air or effort. We simple flew through the area which is pretty dark and had almost nothing that gave us any leads.

"This is literally empty space you know? Don't you think that it's pretty dangerous to be hanging around here?" - Grace

"You guys can back down and wait at the carriage if you like. If it's mining then I can perform reconnaissance myself."

"Nah, let's save time by just going together." - Jay

Regardless of how it feels, Jay still intends to rush everything up relentlessly. Because of that, we sped up and used a little more air bags. After travelling for half a day, we arrived to a small space with atmospheric air inside a bubble.

"Lucky, let's have our late lunch there."

"Yeah, we haven't been able to eat... Specially without the air and all." - Jay

All of us had our lunch which we packed and prepared for long term adventure. I managed to take hold of some other materials for cooking.

"Jeez, Robin cooking for us is kind of worrying... Like, I feel kinda guilty for having our food served by a higherup... Not like it feels better when it is a person below our rank." - Grace

"Technically almost everyone is a low rank but did you know that all food in the castle is prepared by Seymour himself?"

"Ehh?!?! That's why it was so delicious! It was made by him?!" - Jay

"Didn't expect that everyone would be able to learn how to cook well? We pretty much learned what we need to live a normal life due to Seymour himself."

"I-I see... No wonder how everyone in the higher ranks look so skilled..." - Jay

"Ahaha~ Well, I can teach you guys personally on trying to live alone. It would be bad if you guys stay dependent forever."

When I said dependent, I suddenly remembered that Grace has the pressure of her family. I wondered what she would do once she got out of such a hellhole. Everyone smiled and nodded while eating. After that, we tried to perform inventory and equalize all the remaining air bags which took about thirty minutes.

"I'm surprised Rylle didn't take that much... Don't asphyxiate yourself like that often, it's too risky alright?"

"Ah! Alright." - Rylle

I spent half a box, while Jay and Grace spent about three fourths of one box. Ridley spent a whole box due to him enjoying the sight everywhere and wowing. Rylle only spent about one tenth in one of his boxes, which is pretty risky playing conservative.

"Rylle, there's a reason why I prepared about fifty boxes alright?"

"Got it." - Rylle

We continued on our journey to find a closed area to gather some starry ore. We do manage to find little patches but it doesn't really add a whole lot.

"These small patches are really disheartening... But I guess I can take it that we're getting closer?" - Jay

"Yep, I don't think this place would be filled with monsters."

"Yeah, considering that this place has never revealed any kind of monster says that this environment is quite passive..." - Jay

"Don't conclude something that's already concluded. This place is the most dangerous biome of all."

"Eh?" - Jay

Everyone looked at me with a serious face filled with a little shock. It's as if they want to know the reason why.

"Yeah, aside from the no-air area, there are no monsters."

"Then what's in here?" - Grace

"Nothing but bosses."

"Eh?!!!" - Everyone

Come on guys, this is where the fun starts.

"So look at our ten o'clock, that is one thing we have to clearly avoid."

When I looked in the direction, I saw a giant skull floating and spinning around. I know for a fact that it will kill everyone in one hit if we're not careful.

"Naa!! H-how can we get through!?" - Jay

"Relax, I won't drag anyone to a fight with a dungeon guardian that can one shot us. We may end up fighting early level bosses like Eye of Cthulhu or Brain of Cthulhu but, for sure I think those are the bosses the show up in this area for now. Which is why this biome is extremely spacious."

"I-I see... Wait, this isn't extra-terrestrial then! This is straight up void!" - Jay

"Glad you figured it out, but it's too late since we're here already."

Everyone was panicking while continuing to follow me.

"This is another reason why I don't plan on coming back here after finishing this place."

"I see... Wait, what about the zodiac?" - Grace

"Eh, I'll leave it to Seymour and the party he forms with it. It could include me but if it does, that would be my last visit to this wasteland."

After some more time flying around, we managed to see a large object with some protected air inside. The sense of direction is pretty much numbed here so we had to use a compass and try to think if we're heading out normally or face-planting to a wall or straight to hell or space.

The large mass of terrain was something I was waiting to get done but...

"That's... One, two... Three eyes... And a queen bee... I think we could take all of it on."

"Y-you... Are you serious?!" - Ridley

"Uhh... We could barely take on one eye here..." - Grace

"Relax, you guys have grown up since the first month where everyone had to fight that eyeball."

"That's not the problem!!!" - Jay

Everyone seems to be complaining aside from Rylle. He seems to be liking the risk I intend to play here but I should remind him.

"Uhh, Rylle..."

"Yeah?" - Rylle

"Do you know? That all these bosses are actually level 150 and above in the void?"

"Okay now this is straight up suicide!" - Rylle

"Relax, we'll take all these bosses one by one alright?"

"How?!" - Everyone

Everyone in unison just looked at me again with a serious face. Considering that we have to continuously move while consuming multiple air bags is a major threat in itself.

"Besides, I sense a lot of ore in there so if we're looking for a great reward, then it's best that we deal with these monsters as soon as we can."

"R-right... How can we separate them though?" - Jay

"Simple, mind if you guys stay back here for a bit. There's an area where you can take a breather just in case."

"A-alright." - Ridley

"Sure." - Grace

"Aight, we leave it to you." - Rylle

"Be careful alright?" - Jay

"Sure, let's make quick work once I bring one in."

Everyone moved to a nearby breather zone while I came forward while consuming another bag of air.

Fuh... This might be pretty tricky...

Precision is not my strong suit but I brought out my enchanted sword anyway. I swung it once and tried to hit a stationary Eye of Cthulhu. The swing was pretty swift since it didn't have any weight in it. The Eye of Cthulhu started closing in towards me positions pretty quickly. I fired a Searing Light to try and damage it even more but it simply evaded my attack despite taking a little bit of damage. I guess that should be enough.

I went back towards the area where Jay and the others went and lured it towards us. It was successful so we pretty much tried to make work of it immediately.

"Aight everyone, don't hold back against this thing. It will make quick work of us if we're not careful enough."

Ridley and Rylle immediately went around the eye after exiting the breathing zone and tried to make a pincer attack from behind. The lone Eye of Cthulhu tried to summon multiple eyeballs to try and intercept most attacks.

"Jay, need your aim here."

"No worries, I got it real nice." - Jay

Jay fired a bullet which Grace followed up by flying towards the eye moving closer. She delivered multiple strikes while seemingly getting assisted with Tailwind.

"Tailwind."

I flew forward with high speed to try and slash off the eye pretty quickly. I struck the eyeball and penetrated it with Heaven's Beacon.

"Burning Light!"

I activated a mechanism and emitted a heavy amount of concentrated light inside the eye. I removed the sword before the eyeball starts spinning around and changing towards its second form.

"Now this is where it gets tricky! You guys should know what to do by now!"

Everyone starts going behind the eye while Jay maintained his position from a far distance.

"Good! I'll keep him to face me while you guys make clear hits."

For a while, we maintained this style of eliminating a single Eye of Cthulhu. It pretty much succeeded smoothly without getting in trouble. After some time, we managed to kill it off and return to the area to take a breather.

"Now this is going to be a real challenge for us."

After performing inventory and equalization. We used up a total of six boxes from the trip, leaving only thirty-nine boxes.
