Primordial Soul's Rebirth

[Hidden quest complete!

Quest: Defeat a group of enemies stronger than you in stats.

Reward: Venomebane pill (Mid) X 20.]

'What's this?' Alex asked inwardly.

[This is a hidden quest, but this is one of those that need you to do some specific tasks to complete them, hard tasks.

You fighting against a group of A-rank beasts while limiting your stats to B-rank was one of them, and even though it didn't look hard to you, for others it was almost impossible.]

Sophia explained the answer to Alex.

'I see….' Alex didn't need Sophia to tell him that the thing he did right now was not something anyone could do, he could already see James standing like a statue.

'Master!!!!!' Noctura came running and directly jumped on Alex who was still lying on the beast's corpse.

Alex just smiled and patted her head as she started licking his face.

'Finally!!!' Noctura screamed inwardly as she got the chance to lick her master's face after a long time, and she really liked licking his face.

"Calm down, pup. I'm not going anywhere….." Alex spoke helplessly, but Noctura didn't stop.

'What's the highest-ranked poison that pill can heal?' Alex questioned Sophia as stopped trying to stop Noctura and closed his eyes.

[Ex-ranked Poison is the maximum that pill can heal, though it would be a different case if it was a high-grade Venombane pill.]

'I see,' Alex nodded inwardly.

He then kept laying there for a while, letting Noctura lick his face all she wanted, and after a while, she stopped licking on her own.

Noctura liked licking, but that didn't mean she wanted to be annoying so she knew when to stop.

"Let's go, we need to be there to keep an eye out for the camp. Although I can see that there's nothing in the surroundings right now, we can never be sure….."

Alex spoke as he got up and patted Noctura's head.

'Un,' Noctura nodded as well and then she jumped behind the beast's corps, just to activate her ability.

..................….

James had seen many raiders, including many strong ones, and he had even heard things about Argon Hart, however, not one of them shocked him like he was right now.

James knew that Alex was in a weakened state, and he could tell that Alex might have been weaker than him, but after looking at Alex fighting against those beasts and coming out as a victor with not one scratch on his, James had now started doubting his beliefs.

James knew that he was not the strongest out there, far from it.

But he also knew that even the strongest of the planet would not be able to fight a group of beasts that were as strong as then, fighting beasts stronger than them was out of the question. (James's thinking)

But he saw Alex fighting 5 such beasts at a time without much issue, James couldn't even focus on Alex's swordsmanship as he just stood in his place like a statue.

"What are you still standing there for, let's go."

It was when he heard Alex's words and found Alex walking back toward the camp's direction that he realized that the fight had already ended, and they were returning back.

"Coming!" James shouted and gave a last look at the beasts' corpses before he ran toward Alex.

He was still thinking that maybe it was all an illusion, but he also knew that it was not.

Today, Alex got to somewhat enjoy his fight, Noctura got to lick Alex, while James got a new definition of impossible. Everyone got something new, so all good.

.....................

"This is the third territory we found inside a single gate….." Ann spoke as the group walked through the dry rocky area.

welcome to mvle mp,y,r

They had been walking for an hour or so and slowly the area was turning hotter and hotter. They could feel the heat from the ground, and they could see some remnants of lava here and there.

They would remain on high alert all the time, as they can never be sure what type of danger they will face the next second.

They already discovered three territories inside this gate till now, and this alone was enough to make this gate special, not to mention that the number of S-rank beasts in this gate was also high.

The area around them was filled with rocks or short mountains, obstructing their view, but since they had Alex with them, they were still fine.

Alex was like a personal scanner that could work continuously for as long as one wanted, so for once they were thankful that Alex had so much mana that he could continuously use his skills.

"It is a special gate, and we don't even know how strong the boss is going to be….." Alice spoke with a sigh.

She wasn't worried about the boss, it's just that it is always good to have some information about these things beforehand.

"Is it only me or have you guys noticed that we have yet to see a single beast today?" Maggies suddenly asked.

Her words caused everyone to stop on their track as they just realized that as well.

They had been walking for an hour, but they had yet to find a single beast, they didn't notice it as they were all tensed by the thought that a beast would suddenly jump out from behind those rocks.

Alice and Ann on the other hand had noticed it a while ago but they kept quiet even if they found it strange.

"If my guess is correct then we are probably close to the boss area," Suddenly Alex spoke up and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Maybe, just maybe, the beasts are gathered in the boss area, waiting for us to arrive there," Alex continued, and he could see the worry and tension appearing on every raider's face.

"Or maybe, the boss is a territorial beast, and it doesn't like intruders in its area which means there were no beasts here in the first place," Alex added, and although he said that the raider somehow felt that the former situation was more likely.

After all, if the boss was as territorial as Alex was depicting it to be then the boss would've been here, fighting them the moment they stepped into its territory.

There was a long silence as everyone was in deep thought.

"Well, let's just move forward, we will know what it is when we see it, and as I said, we won't be taking unnecessary risks," Alice finally spoke after a while.

Although she had been saying the same line about retreating if they found something dangerous again and again, she had no intention of doing that, she was saying that just to keep the raiders calm.

Alice knew that with Alex here, they wouldn't have a problem clearing an S-rank gate, and this fact wouldn't change, whether it was a special S-rank gate or a normal one.

The raiders nodded their heads, and they continued walking.

After another hour or two of walking, they could finally see a place that had 'I might be the boss's lair' written all over it (Not literally).....
