Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 120: CHAPTER 120 – The Hidden Gate Breaks (Recap start).

The 'Style Haven Market' is known for its wide variety of clothing items along with having the best quality of them.

But there is another tourist attraction that 'Style Haven Market' is famous for, and it is the 'temple of Haven'.

The Temple of Haven is a historical place that was used as a refuge by the king of the past when he was being chased by his enemies.

His enemies came following him and asked the temple owner if they had seen the king and the temple owner denied ever seeing the king.

But he was killed by the enemies of the king as they didn't want anyone who saw them to live.

The king along with the 18-year-old daughter of the temple owner saw all of that happening from the spot they were hiding in, but none of them moved.

Later the king married the same girl as he fell for her, and that temple was locked and treated as a sacred ground in the memory of the king's late father-in-law.

The king named that place 'Temple of Haven', till this day, it has yet to be opened as the descendants of that same king are quite rich and powerful people and they protect that place with all they have.

But who would've known that there was an S-rank gate inside of that temple for a long time?

If that was not enough, then it just so happens that today the gate was about to break and no one knew about it.

Alex was in the area, but with his power limited to SS rank, he couldn't scan 1000 meters of his surrounding radius, even if he did, he would need to be in the 1000-meter range to be able to sense it, which he wasn't.

The market was quite big after all.

But there were many people close to the Temple of Haven, and one family in particular attracted a lot of attention as they just looked so lovely together.

It was Max, Lily, and Grace, they were roaming around in the market, buying clothes and some accessories.

"Daddy, I'm hungryyyyy…." Suddenly Lily spoke as she tugged on Max's pants.

"Is my princess hungry??" Max bent down on his knees, coming right in front of Lily as he asked.

"Yes!!" Lily nodded her head vigorously.

"I see, so what do you want to eat?" Max asked with a smile.

"I want ice cream!" Lily exclaimed while licking her lips as she remembered the ice cream she had eaten a while ago.

Grace just giggled as she knew that Lily was not hungry, she just wanted to eat that ice cream again.

"But you ate it just a while ago, you'll get sick if you eat a-" Max wanted to deny, but Lily cut him off with her puppy eyes.

"Please, daddy..."

Max just sighed as he knew that he could never win against his daughter.

"All right, which one do you want, I'll go buy it," Max asked in defeat.

"I want the one with butterscotch and chocolate in it!" Lily replied hurriedly as if she was waiting for that question, causing Grace to giggle again.

"You are the one who taught my naïve little daughter all of this, don't you dare giggle at me," Max then turned toward Grace and spoke with fake frustration.

"Un." Grace just made a zipping gesture on her lips and nodded.

"I'll be back with the ice cream, wait for me there," Max pointed at an empty seat near the intersection of the roads.

That place was 200 meters away from the 'Temple of Heaven' and around 300 meters away from Alex, Alice, and Ann, that distance kept decreasing though as Alex's group was moving toward the Temple of Haven.

Grace along with Lily just happened to be sitting on a bench that was placed in between.

........................…

No one knew that there was a gate inside of the Temple, not even the owner of the temple as it was never opened.

The temple was quite big after all, it had a height of 40 meters and it was nothing but a hall inside, a large hall with a statue of some god inside of it.

The place was made for conducting prayer in mass, with a lot of people together.

That place was where the gate was situated, and it was pulsating for a while as if warning anyone close to it or anyone who could see it about its inevitable break.

The gate housed a flock of land birds called Darkfire. They are called land birds because although they can fly or maybe glide, they prefer running as they have quite long legs and they run very fast.

It was not a very big gate, just a small gate with a flock of 20 birds and no other beasts, but out of those 20 birds, 10 of them were S-ranked.

These Birds can breathe fire, but as their name suggests they breathe dark fire.

It is one of the most dangerous fires among S-rank beasts as it would keep burning and spreading if not stopped by a stronger fire or other ways.

They are herbivores and they don't eat meat, but they can still use their beaks and claws to tear their enemies apart.

They had long necks for a wider area attack range with their beaks and long legs for faster running speed. They could use their long claws to climb trees as well as tear their enemies.

They had high immunity to fire and complete immunity to their own fire, and this was something that made them very dangerous.

The boss of this gate, the leader of the flock was a large bird of 2 meters in height with light blues, grey, black, and white feathers mixed together, it had a 30 centimeters long beak and it looked quite dashing (In bird sense).

They were just having a normal time, mating with each other when they saw the portal-like thing that never let them out of this place cracking.

The leader of the birds stood up with a snap.

*Tap**Tap**Tap*....

It zoomed toward the portal and tapped it with its beak.

*Tak*

'Hmmm….'

*Tak*

It tapped again, but then….

*Crack*

The gate cracked a little.

'Yes!!' The leader of the birds exclaimed inwardly before it backed away from the gate.

"SCREECHH!!"

The leader screeched, causing every single bird in the gate to come running in front of him.

"I think it's time that we leave this accursed place that had trapped us here for who knows how long," The leader spoke in a deep voice that didn't match its dashing and swift looks.

""SCREEECHHH!!""

The birds of the flock screeched together as they raised their beaks in the air while flapping their wings, showing their happiness.

"I believe it is time for us to run around the fields again, so let us go!"

The leader of the flock raised his voice and the beasts screeched again.

*Shatter*

Right at that moment the portal of the gate shattered.

The birds looked at the shattered gate together and they could see a dark and empty hall outside.

"Go!" The leader ordered and the beasts dashed out of the gate one after another, followed by the leader who gave their nest a last look before he left.
