After finishing the meeting, each leader left so they could tell their troops what the plan was.

While most of the cultivators would enter the mountain through the tunnel they had created, some Esvert cultivators would stay on the surface to assist the cowboys if needed. They decided this because, as most Esvert cultivators were proficient in long-range combat, fighting in the tunnels could be troublesome.

Instead of accompanying the rest of the cultivators through the tunnels, they would prepare an ambush, so if the flying machines began to chaise the cowboys again, they would help take them down.

Besides the Esvert, one of the summoners would stay on the surface to participate in the ambush.

Because of this, the ones that would use the tunnel would be the Guburg, the Yuoko, the undead knights, and the remaining summoner. Zack's disciples would lead this little army across the tunnels, scouting ahead so they would remain unnoticed by the dwarfs for the longest time possible.

When everyone was ready, Zack neared Ethan.

"We are going. Give us fifteen minutes before we reach the mountain." Zack said.

"I know, I know. Just go already so we can end this mission. I want to return to my academy and continue my investigations as soon as possible," Ethan said while making signs with his hands for Zack to leave.

Seeing his companion's reaction, Zack nodded before leaving with a smile.

"Have luck out there," Zack said.

"You too," Ethan replied.

After that, the army entered the tunnel and began to advance toward the mountain. It took them a few minutes of walking in the dark until they arrived at the first room of the dwarfs' base. When they arrived, Zack talked to the men that kept guard there.

"Has anything happened while we were away?" Zack asked.

"Nothing, Master. We haven't seen any movements from the mountain's inhabitants since we came here." the man replied.

"Perfect. Come with us then. We are starting a ride right now." Zack said.

"Yes, Master!" the cultivators replied.

At the same time, on the surface, the Esvert had created a small rocky formation to hide behind it while the cowboys prepared to go towards the mountain.

"I hope this plan works." the summoner said while looking at the mountain.

"Why wouldn't it work? We only need to make time until the others retrieve our objective from the mountain. And as you said before, you only have to believe in the cards to succeed," Ethan said while laughing as he controlled earth-energy to continue changing his surroundings.

"Yes, I know. But for some reason, since we came to this world, everything has gone poorly. In our world, you only need a good deck and trust your companions to win a battle. With that, you will have access to powers that defy the laws of nature, monsters capable of shattering realities with a single movement of their hand. But here, it is as if something were restricting our power while at the same time the enemies use strange and troublesome techniques that can easily counter ours." The summoner explained with his gaze low before looking at Ethan." Do you feel the same or are we the only ones?"

"To tell you the truth, I feel almost exactly like I did at home. But don't get me wrong, I do feel that the energy around us is different from the one that we have in our world and that everyone has powers that, according to my knowledge, do not make sense at all, but even so, I'm still able to fight as I always did." Ethan replied.

After saying that, an awkward silence filled the air for the next few minutes before they began to hear noises from afar.

"It seems like they are coming. Everyone, be prepared for the fight." Ethan ordered his men.

After seeing everyone getting ready, the summoner touched the top deck card with one finger for a few seconds before drawing it.

" Mystic Lunar Owl, aid me on this hunt!" he said as he threw the card on the ground.

From the card, a two-meter-tall purple owl with a white half-moon on its chest appeared on the ground. Without losing a second, the summoner got on it to ride it.

At the same time, the sound of galloping horses mixed with the sound of machinery was getting closer and closer with each second.

"Come on, boys. Use those shooting irons before they get us!" The cowboy leader shouted to his men as he began to shoot with his revolver at the helicopters following them.
