The man in a black robe returned to the deck as well after having some rest. Reyline and the two female wizards were beside the railings checking the situation.

Angele gathered the four survivors around the main mast.

"Did you find any other survivors?" Reyline questioned.

"No. We only have five people left." Angele shook his head, looking depressed. "The airships are about to reach the Cloud Bee's nest soon. We need to figure out a plan right now lest they kill us all. I wish we had more time. I want to study their bodies and find out how they detect their targets." Angele rubbed his temples.

"Yeah, we need more information on those Cloud Bees." Reyline nodded. "I know it will be hard, but their strength exceeded my expectation."

The rest of the crew remained silent. So many wizards had just died. They were trying to figure out a viable plan as they were now approaching the bee nest.

"Why don't we...return to Nola?" Hikari lowered her head and suggested.

"Return to Nola? That's impossible. There are so many Cloud Bees in this area. They have just raided our ship and are thinking we were all killed. If the direction of the airships changed too much, they will realize that there are still people alive and will come back for us." Reyline shook his head.

"What should we do then?" Hikari was getting nervous.

"We have to keep moving forward. There are only five of us. We can try to hide in the airships," the man in a black robe suddenly said.

"I'm sorry but you are?" Reyline turned to the man.

"My name is Stigmaricovertta, just call me Stigma." The man's face was still pale. It was clear that he still needed some time to recover from his injury.

Stigma looked at the wizards. He knew that the strongest wizard was the leader named Green and he was certain that the leader was hiding something from the others.

Stigma could sense something dangerous from Green. He survived the fight against the Cloud Bees and even helped the survivors in a calm manner after the battle finished.

'Why didn't he use his strongest spells to kill more Cloud Bees? He could have saved many wizards...' Stigma narrowed his eyes.

"Master Green, what do you think?" He turned to Angele, then asked.

Angele pursed his lips.

"You're right. We can only proceed forward and hope for the best. If we change our route, we will be attacked by the Cloud Bees. We should leave the dead bodies of the Cloud Bees on the deck too so that they would think that there is nothing valuable left on the airship."

He stopped for a second and continued, "The only problem is I'm not sure if the Cloud Bees are the only flying monsters in the area."

"It's a bit out of topic but for some reason, my mentality increased slightly after the fight," Hikari interrupted.

"Well, it's common. The intense battles will strengthen your mind." Angele nodded. "Alright, everyone, do you have any more questions or suggestions? If not, I'll go increase the airships' speed, so we can pass the nest faster."

"We can only hope for the best." Hikari sighed. "I'll go have some rest." She turned around and walked to the stairs.

"Wait. Stigma, there's something I need to discuss with you." Angele looked at Stigma.

Reyline and Morrisa nodded and walked away. They decided to stay in the cabins of the first airship.

Only Angele and Stigma were left on the deck.
