Chapter 216: Unfathomable Being
Alex knew this was not her sister's full power.
The creature's corpse fell to the ground with a big hole in its chest. At first, it was still squirming, trying to regenerate the wound.
Unfortunately, a crackling sound followed afterward; it sounded like the chirping of many birds. Zold blasted all his electricity from the gaping wound.
His face turned pale, with sweat covering his forehead; it was clear he used almost all his qi and mana in that attack. To make sure the boss stayed dead.
A genderless voice then reverberated in the air, "Dungeon cleared, checking the number of people that survived…,
calculating clear rank…,
Congratulations, you get a B Rank.
The portal will be activated, make sure to bring all your loot before leaving."
A text box then appeared in front of them, and a hissing sound started coming out from the portal.
The trio lay on the ground, taking a break from the fight.
'B rank, huh? No wonder we wasted a lot of items in the Dungeon.' Alex thought.
This time, he got a box as a reward.
Zold then stood up abruptly, pulling attention from the others.
"I think we should go out now. Aunt Olivia still hasn't woken up."
Quartz rose her body; after drinking the potion, her sore muscles had already recovered. "Zold is right, let's go."
"When we are outside, I will leave the interview and public announcement for you guys."
"Yes, brother, take care of Aunt Olivia for us," Emily replied with a knowing smile that Alex ignored.
"One more thing, don't tell anyone about the dark hunter we met here, just act like it's a normal dungeon dive."
Emily, Zold, and Quartz gave a nod. As for Patricia, Alex had already put her back in the AweCube.
She and Alex didn't intervene in the fight to get the trio more used to their qi.
Alex then took Olivia out of the AweCube and entered through the portal.
Everything turned dark; the next thing they knew, they were back where they entered.
"Finally, it's over," Emily said, feeling relieved, breathing the air outside the Dungeon.
At the exit, Garric was waiting for them, as he would also appear at the press conference as the association representative.
"Finally, you guys are all out. I was starting to worry here," his eyes then turned sharp, and he saw only three people come out from the portal.
"Where are Alex and Olivia?" he asked.
Quartz raised her eyes in confusion, then looked around and realized Alex was nowhere to be seen.
Emily also felt confused; she then looked back at the portal, which was now starting to dim.
Her face was quickly etched with worry.
As the portal started getting dimmer, panic started spreading. Emily was about to walk back to the portal when Alex suddenly appeared, with Olivia still unconscious on his back.
He had his usual smile on his face, "Sorry I entered the portal late."
A relief came over them as Quartz and Emily started nagging at Alex.
Zold looked at Alex's smile, but he felt weird, not because of his expression but because Alex appeared a few minutes later, even when they entered together.
He wondered if something similar happened to Alex, just like the incident with the eyes.
After what happened, Zold started wondering if every dungeon portal was connected to the outer gate system.
Alex then exchanged some words before leaving through another entrance. The butler was already waiting for him there.
Entering the car, he put Olivia first, then took a seat. The engine then ignited as the car started driving.
The butler didn't say anything; he had known Alex for a long time, and he didn't need his expression to know he was in a bad mood.
The atmosphere around him is just different. He knew it was better not to ask in situations like this.
"Where to, young master?"
Alex's smile disappeared, his expression now ice cold, "Go to the SGE. I will spend the night there, so you don't need to wait for me."
"Yes, young master."
'Vesa, just what the hell was that?'
After entering through the portal, Alex found himself face-to-face with something out of his comprehension.
He thought at first it was a progenitor, but Vesa told him it was not.
A creature of a size that made even skyscrapers look like toys. It was one huge eye with six white wings surrounding it.
In each wing, there was another set of three eyes.
Each of these eyes had a golden iris that looked deep into Alex's eyes.
An otherworldly voice then reverberated in his mind, 'I never believed in Fate, but seeing what happened now, it's almost as if that abstract concept really exists.'
The being then started laughing before it continued, 'It's really ironic. I am looking forward to our next meeting , Alex Campbell, Alucard's heir.
I wonder what you will think at that time when you find out about everything.'
Before Alex could respond, everything turned black, and he found himself back inside the Dungeon in front of the dimming portal.
Seeing it start dimming, he quickly adjusted his expression before reentering it.
He was still processing what happened, but his instinct told him going through the portal now would bring him back.
[I don't have any information about that being, King.]
'Do you think it's a friend or enemy? What about its life force?'
[The being is too strong for me to peer into, so even with the close proximity I cannot get anything. But I can estimate it should be at the level of a Progenitor at least.]
'At least? Are you kidding me, Vesa? Do you mean there are beings stronger than a Progenitor?'
Alex asked in an annoyed tone, a Progenitor itself already far beyond his current level. And now, I am saying there is something even stronger.
[The possibility of that is never zero, King, but honestly, I never knew anything like this. I have tried to compare it with any species possible in my library, but none have similar features to that creature.]
