Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 72: CHAPTER 72 – A Mid-Boss?

[It was a good idea not to kill him, wasn't it?]

'Yeah, not like I was ever thinking of killing him. I just wanted to teach him a lesson, that's all.'

Alex replied to Sophia's words as he looked towards Frank who ran to save the raider from Crimson Lotus who was about to be killed.

Alex could tell that Frank was not doing that to show off in front of Alice or himself, Frank was just doing that because he wanted to. This was the reason why even with all the things he did in the guild, Alice didn't kick him out of the guild.

Everyone else in the guild also knew that no matter how Frank was in the guild, once they entered the gate or some kind of battle situation, he would prove to be very dependable.

"You really think that Ann will win, right?" Suddenly Alice asked.

She was not in a fight that she would need to focus on, so she was more worried about Ann, who was fighting against the thing that could make the ground below them vibrate.

[I could see that question coming from a mile away.] Sophia giggled in Alex's head causing him to sigh inwardly.

Even Alex could see that question coming, after all, even if you know that everything is fine, it's your job to worry about your loved ones. Alex knew that Alice trusted him, he didn't need to ask that now, not after three months of staying together.

So, he knew why she was asking that question and the answer was simple – Worry.

"Yes, she will. But for your satisfaction and relief, I will go there and keep an eye on her.

So you can rest assured about Ann's safety and look after your subordinates."

Alex answered Alice's question and told her what he would do.

It was not just Alice, Ann, and Noctura who had grown strong, he was the one who had grown the most. As his powers grew, so did his control over his elements and abilities and right now his perception could cover more than 1000 meters.

The place Ann was fighting was within 500 meters from their location, so he was already keeping an eye on her, but just for Alice's relief, he decided to move there.

"Un." Alice nodded with a light smile on her face.

Alice was worried for Ann's safety as the thing that could cause such aftereffects from its attack was bound to be powerful and in an S-rank gate that too a special one, powerful was not something Ann could handle easily.

Alice's worries for Ann were not unfunded, after all, the only people who meant something to her in this world were Ann and Alex right now.

She knew that she didn't need to worry about Alex, but the same could not be said for Ann. Ann has yet to get strong enough to say that she doesn't need to worry about anything.

So, when Alex said that he would go and keep an eye on Ann, she was happy. She was happy that Alex understood her words and also happy that Ann would be safe now.

Not for a second she thought that Alex would be defeated. That's how much trust she had in Alex right now.

Alex then nodded and vanished from there leaving behind only Alice who had a light smile on her face while observing the raiders below her.

This is what was seen by Frank before he ran towards the leader of the ornithomimids group. Frank had failed to notice that there was another ornithomimid hiding behind the leader but it was seen clearly by Alice.

Alice, however, didn't move or inform Frank about the danger, she let him be, as this would serve as a lesson to him. Alice was not saying that she was going to let Frank die, she would interfere if a situation like that arose.

Alice just wanted Frank to use his brain during fights and what was a better way to learn than learning it the hard way?

However, she seems to have forgotten that she was the same three months ago...

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

(Some time ago when Ann moved towards the T-rex.)

Ann ran toward the direction Alex pointed at and after a while, she could feel some vibrations coming from the ground below her.

She could tell that her enemy was either big or very heavy this time since they could cause vibrations just from their movements.

She did what she thought was the best and it was to climb a tree to gain the higher ground.

After she climbed up to 8 or 9 meters up on a tree, in a second or two she could finally see the enemy she had to fight, and honestly, she was a bit intimidated, only a bit.

After all, her opponent was a 7-meter high and 22-meter-long dinosaur-like creature. It looked like a T-rex, but it seemed more agile than a normal T-rex could ever be, it's long and razor-sharp teeth that looked like they could penetrate through the strongest metals.

It had dark brown, almost black scales unevenly covering its body with a high density of scales on its back which created a spine while the density of the scales was lower on the dorsal side of its body.

It had slit black eyes that kept looking around as it moved toward the direction she came from. Meaning, it was moving towards the place where the Raiders were fighting against the ornithomimids.

But suddenly its step came to a halt as it raised its head up in the air and started sniffing the air, and then surprisingly, it spoke.

"Hm, I can smell you…." A deep growling voice was heard from its closed mouth.

Its eyes kept scanning the area, be it the ground or the trees, but with Ann's ability activated, she was invisible to the T-rex.

"Come out, puny human. You can't hide from me…." It spoke again as it kept moving toward the tree Ann was sitting upon.

With its 7-meter height, its head was just a meter or two below the branch Ann was sitting upon.

"Where are you hiding...?" It moved around the tree while looking around.

Then with a snap it jumped up and bit the branch Ann was sitting on, crushing the very branch with its jaws.

Then it spit out the branch from its mouth.

"The more you hide the more I want to eat you...." It spoke and moved towards the next tree, sniffing the air.

Ann had already moved to another tree when the T-rex had arrived below her tree. After all, the first thing Alex taught her was to never take risks till you knew that everything was in your control.

Right now, nothing was in Ann's control, rather the situation didn't look good for her if she didn't do something quickly.

'Is it a mid-boss? It is an S-ranked monster and one that can speak well at that.' Ann was thinking about the monster, observing it.

She could tell that it was a very strong one, strong enough to be called mid-boss of the gate if it was not a mid-boss already.

After a while, Ann made a plan along with some counter plans if it were to fail. She broke a branch without making much sound and then threw it at the bottom of the tree.

As she threw the branch, she jumped to the tree next to the one she was sitting on.

Just as the branch landed on the ground, producing a rustling sound, the T-rex zoomed toward the sound and directly crushed the branch.

"What are you doing now....?" It spoke as it lifted its feet.

It could tell that the branch didn't fall on its own, it was dropped by someone or something. The T-rex then looked up at the tree, looking for any trace of Ann, but it couldn't find it.

How could he? Ann was not on that tree anymore, she was on the tree next to it, ready to attack.

The T-rex then wiped its thick tail, crashing it into the tree Ann was standing before. The 30-meter-long tree tilted a bit with some cracks on its surface.

"It's getting boring now, I might just break the trees in the surrounding...." The T-rax spoke and twisted its body ready to wipe the same tree again with the intention to break the tree.

But just then it heard the sound of air being cut and the last thing its right slit-shaped eyes could see was a flash of light being reflected on some kind of metal before...

"RRRAAAAWWWWRRRRRR"

It roared in pain and anger as it realized what had happened.

But the next second it smashed the right side of its head on a tree next to it with all the force its body could muster. It wanted to end the puny human that dared to hurt him, it didn't want to enjoy its time eating now, it just wanted to make the human suffer.

The force of his body slamming on the tree with full force broke the tree, making it fall to the ground, producing a loud crashing sound.

"Hmph"

The T-rex just snorted as it knew that the human had escaped at the last moment, it looked around for a while in an unsuccessful attempt to find the human.

"Grrrr…."

The T-rex growled in frustration as it didn't think that it would have to use its real powers to fight against a puny human, but it had no choice left.

"Die, you puny human...."
