Chapter 53 - Hide

Lucy handed Mikey a strange black stone.

"This is gonna be handy, because I can't track you with my attribute all the time." Lucy says.

"Yeah, and now I can see you all the time too." Mikey replies.

The black stone which Mikey received from Lucy comes in pairs. Lucy has the other stone.

The name of each stone is: "The Stone Of Soulmates."

The Stone allows Mikey and Lucy to feel the existence and the location of one another. It is somewhat hard to explain what they are feeling, but that's the jist of it.

"It is kind of tripping me out tho, I can't lie." Lucy says.

"Yeah, as if I could almost feel all of the things that you are feeling." Mikey replies.

"I wanna say something, but I really don't think that it's a good time for something like that." Lucy says all embarresed and blushes.

"I definitely know what you mean, however, we need to get the hell out of here." Mikey says in distress, as he gets his tingling feeling of another player in the nearby area.

"Yeah, I can feel a player nearby too." Lucy says.

"Well, to put it simply, we really just need to Hide." She creates a water dragon, the dragon lands next to them and Lucy gets on, she puts her hand out and helps Mikey get on the dragon too.

"Oh yeah, that hybrid dragon which you summoned, that a new skill of yours?" Mikey asks as the dragon starts flying high in the sky.

"Yeah, it's really handy, but I can only use it once per day without taking insane amounts of backlash so far." Lucy answers while focusing on flying the dragon.

This is Mikey's first time riding Lucy's dragon, he's quite amazed at her natural skill of being able to fly a dragon.

"So, you said we need to Hide right?" Mikey asks.

"Yeah, pretty much." Lucy replies, still focused on flying the dragon.

"But... where? As far as we know, this bounty event might just stay around for multiple weeks, if not an entire month." Mikey says.

"Well yeaaah... To be honest, I don't have an actual Hiding spot, however, I think that we just need to find a safe spot with not too many players around." Lucy looks at Mikey.

"And with my attribute, and me being able to fly on my dragon longer than ever, such location will be possible to find." She adds.

They fly around for a few minutes, Mikey is getting dizzy because of it. They keep flying for a few more minutes until Lucy suddenly decides to land.

"What's up?" Mikey asks.

"This area, I can't see any players in a ten thousand block radius from here." Lucy answers.

"That's ten kilometers, pretty good." Mikey says and cuts down a tree, he crafts a chest, puts a bunch of items inside and starts cutting down more trees.

"What are you doing?" Lucy asks.

"I have a plan in my mind. Do you have gunpowder or redstone?" Mikey asks back giving an indirect answer.

"I think I know where you're going with this. I have a bunch of gunpowder, but not too much redstone..." Lucy says.

Mikey hands her all the sand he has and asks: "You know how to craft a TnT, right?"

Lucy nods and puts down a crafting table.

(For one TnT explosive, the same one Mikey and Miyu used in the Nether, you need sand and gunpowder, that's why Mikey handed Lucy gunpowder)

Mikey obtained sand the moment him and his crew disembarked on the island where they met another group of players for the first time.

Mikey anticipated that he might need sand for crafting TnT's.

Mikey cuts down few more trees when he finally stops and says: "This should be enough."

"Can you finally tell me what do you plan to do with this?" Lucy asks and hands Mikey the seven TnT's she crafted.

"Well, we are going to create a multi-layered trap." Mikey smiles and goes on to tell Lucy what he plans to do.

"OHHHH, I get it!" Lucy says. "Should I help you?" She asks.

About half an hour later, Lucy's attribute still can't find anyone in the radius of ten thousand blocks.

During this time, all they did was build a simple hut? Well yes, but actually no. The house has several traps in it, including the very entrance.

Mikey has his spectral pirates standing next to each trap with one single order, if anyone besides him or Lucy approaches any of the traps, they are to set off the trap.

All of the traps are really just TnT's placed in the ground, but thanks to Mikey's and Lucy's attributes, this has become quite the deadly trap.

But they won't use it to kill anyone, afterall, Mikey has completely abolished the thoughts of killing someone, and Lucy hates killing too.

Back to the topic.

The traps aren't the only thing, Mikey and Lucy aren't even living inside the house.

They built an underground shelter under the house, with a tunnel that they are still building. This tunnel will lead them quite far away from this place.

But even then you might have questions, why build the house in the first place? All it is gonna do is attract people to them.

While that's true against people who don't have any skills or attributes which belong in the tracking type.

This house, filled with traps is built against people with tracking attributes, such as Adam for example.

Adam's attribute allows him to see footsteps. If he saw Mikey's and Lucy's footsteps just suddenly stop out of nowhere. He would realize that they must be underground, that's what he did when Mikey hid underground with Miyu.

However, if Adam or someone like him sees the footsteps leading into a house, they will naturally think that their targets must be inside.

And that's exactly the point of this trap. The clueless tracker who thinks he's on right track, will simply get exploded with the entire building.

(Meanwhile, quite far away)

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

There are explosions getting set off around the entire area, and they all belong to non-other, than Zoro himself.

There are quite literally dozens of players hunting him down. Zoro is using his new special eye which he unlocked at the island where him and Mikey met that old man.

He finally managed to unlock some of its abilities.

This eye grants him an extremely accurate vision, thanks to this, he can create insane chaos around the area, without getting lost in it. He also split up with Christina and Ragnar. Who are watching him from far away, and ready to come help if Zoro needs it.

The reason why Zoro separated from them was simple.

They would quite literally get in his way.

"THERE HE IS!!!"

BOOM!

"HE'S OVER THERE! Wait no, that's someone else..." "HEY! What the hell!"

BOOM!

Zoro created so much chaos that some of the players attacked other players because they all thought it was Zoro. There's so much smoke and debris in the area, that pretty much no one can orientate through it.

But Zoro, thanks to his eye, can...
