Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 113: CHAPTER 113 – Don’t Disappoint Me.

The Goblins Village, as its name says is a village of goblins, one of the weakest of all monsters.

The goblins are 1.2 or 1.3 meters in height along with an ugly appearance. They have long pointy noses and ears, and greasy green skin that makes them look uglier.

They are said to be a bloodthirsty and brainless bunch, but they are smart enough to lay traps for their enemies.

They use poisons a lot and that is the most dangerous part about them.

They attack in groups, which makes it hard for newbies to fight them, but it's doable with some teamwork.

But then again, the problem is their poison. They have their weapons coated in poison, and if newbies of rank F or E, even D were to get hit by those weapons, even a scratch, they might not be able to escape alive.

The weapon laced with poison just needs to scratch you, and in a while, you will be paralyzed or have a hard time moving your body, also known as stiffening.

The goblins use that chance to attack you with force and kill you in the process.

But still, those things would only work on the weak, not on the S-ranked raiders, so why did Alex stop Noctura from jumping into the bushes?

*Click**Sssssssssss...*

Just as the pebble landed on the bushed, there was a clicking sound, and then a lot of green liquid fell on the bushed from above.

The bushes melted within less than a second, but the liquid kept going on, it melted the ground for around 50 centimeters.

Alice, Anna, Ann, and Noctura took a deep breath….

"You guys seem to forget that this is the same gate that devoured 3 S-rank raiders," Alex spoke as he looked at Noctura who just lowered her head in apology.

"I won't be there to save you every time, pup. You need to learn how to use your senses better, you were born in the wild, and you still have that wildness within you, so become wild.

This is a forest or wilderness, this is your domain, your area, you just need to know how to use it best.

From now on, no one will be helping you, remember whatever I have taught you and do what you have to.

I will be watching from the back, don't disappoint me, pup."

Noctura was fine to the point where Alex said that no one would be helping her, after all, she knew she was strong enough to survive in an SS-rank gate now, so there was no way she would need someone's help in an S-rank gate.

But when she heard the last line, her body tensed, and her fur hardened.

She had never heard Alex say that to anyone, she had been there with him almost all of the time, so she knew that.

But now that Alex told her to not disappoint him, that means that he is expecting something from her, something he never did from others.

This fact made Noctura happy, but now the same S-rank gate looked too easy for her started looking harder than an SS-rank gate.

But she nodded with determination burning in her eyes.

'I won't disappoint you, master,' Notura spoke to Alex, and her voice was as serious as it could get.

Alice and Ann just smiled as they saw the determination in Noctura's eyes.

They knew why Alex said what he said, and they could already see the results, none of them were stupid enough to not notice that whatever Alex said was just to make Noctura serious.

Noctura was not stupid as well, but her love for her master was a bit too much, so she didn't think that Alex was just trying to motivate her.

Even if she knew the reason behind Alex's words, she would still do her best, after all, even if it was just a motivation, Alex did say 'Don't disappoint me, pup.'

Anna didn't know much about any of them, but she wanted to learn more about them and get close to them.

It was her plan from the start after all.

Anna could've cleared the gate herself since she was an SS-ranked raider, but she didn't want to risk it as she was not sure of what kind of anomaly was inside the gate.

So, she wanted to increase the party size, she wanted Alice to bring at least 10 S-rank raiders along, but when she saw their power, she changed her mind.

When Anna had heard the announcement of Alice claiming her guild as Rank 1, for a second she thought that it was arrogance, but now she knew it was not arrogance.

If Alice wanted to, she could claim her guild as the most powerful force as a whole, not just a guild, but she didn't, and that was something Anna was grateful for, after all, if Alice did that then there would've been a war.

The empire is known to be the strongest force and they had declared that, so if anyone else claimed the same thing then a war was inevitable.

What Anna didn't know was that Alice just wanted to achieve her dream of getting her guild to Rank 1, that's why she never thought about claiming her guild as the Rank 1 force in the world.

Alex and Ann knew about that, and that's the reason why they never advised Alice to do otherwise.

"Good, go on then," Alex replied to Noctura, letting her go, as he stopped using his skill.

This time Noctura didn't go into the bushes, instead, she went behind a large tree to activate her skill.

The gate was not that big, and it was something that could be cleared in an hour by the newbies if they wanted to clear the gate.

But the newbies use this gate as a training ground, so they stay in the outer area and hunt the goblins that come wandering or hunting.

Noctura was not looking for the mobs, so she decided to make a straight dash toward the boss layer.

The boss layer of this gate was a village, and the boss of this gate was supposed to be a hobgoblin, but no one knew anything about the boss.

The team sent out to scout the boss layer never made it back, so other than the information about some sighting of low-ranked goblins, nothing about this gate was known.

Noctura kept running while Anna, Alice, Ann, and Alex followed her from a distance.

"You think that some goblins will be a problem for Noctura to face?" Ann couldn't stop herself from asking that question, and the question caused the other two to look at Alex as well.

Ann knew that Noctura was strong enough to clear the gate alone, the mistake at the start was something that none of them noticed, after all, who would've guessed that there would be a trap right in front of the entrance?

So, although Ann understood what Alex did and why he did it, she still wanted to know if there was a reason behind it, if there was none then it was fine.

Something told Ann that there was a reason for all that, and she got her to answer the next second.

"There are no goblins left in this forest."
