Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 86: CHAPTER 86 – Trying A New Challenge.

When the gates appeared all over the world, they became the biggest enigma for the people of Gaia.

No one knew anything about them, it was something that appeared out of nowhere, but humans being humans, they couldn't suppress their curiosity about the unknown.

That's just how it works, everyone fears the unknown, but they love to find out more about it as well.

Even if they lost many lives, the higher-ups still sent in people to the gate, after all, in the start not much was known about Raiders.

But slowly as the raiders emerged, they changed their target, they started sending raiders and discovered many things.

Out of the many things they discovered, one of them was that the climate and the time inside the gates move strangely. Some gates would maintain the same weather and the time within them, while some would change so quickly that it would be hard to keep up.

The danger of the gates, however, didn't lessen, rather it increased as the change in time or climate brought different monsters along as well.

Right now, the members of Crimson Lotus Guild were about to face the same thing as well...

"Hmm...."

Or maybe not.

Alex was sitting above a rock that was 2 meters high so he could get a better view of the surroundings with Noctura by his side.

She was sleeping with her head on his lap as he caressed her head continuously, but then Alex noticed some movements in his perception range.

He looked down towards the tent where the raiders were sleeping and contemplated whether he should wake them up or not. In the end, he decided against it.

The raiders had been discussing tactics, strategies, and other things amongst themselves just so they could be of more help. Although Alex found it silly, he didn't point it out, but still, they hadn't slept for a long time because of that.

The raiders entered their tents to sleep about 20 minutes ago, and Alex didn't want to become a villain by waking them up.

But well, it was just the excuses he was finding, the main reason why he was doing it was because he wanted to move his body.

He had been using mostly magic since he entered the gate. Although it was easier and more convenient to fight like that, he didn't get the thrill he wanted in those fights.

Alex stopped caressing Noctura which caused her to open her eyes in a snap, then she looked at Alex.

'Master?' She didn't understand why Alex would stop petting her.

"I need to take care of some beasts that are coming our way, I'll be back in a while," Alex spoke as he patted Noctura one last time.

'I will come with you then,' Noctura suddenly spoke up as Alex stood up and started stretching.

"All right but let me enjoy the fight, and don't interfere even if it looks dangerous for me," Alex spoke up and jumped down, leaving the confused Noctura behind.

'Dangerous for master?????' She couldn't understand how someone or something could be dangerous for her master, after all, in her mind, her master was the strongest.

Even if we don't take Noctura's biased thoughts into account, it was a thing to think about.

How could things get dangerous for Alex inside an S-ranked gate?

But soon Noctura found out why Alex said that as Alex had lowered his stats to max B-rank. Alex had always wanted to do this since his fight with the Orc Chief.

If he could fight with an almost S-rank with his stats limited to A-rank and he knew that was not the best he could do, then what was stopping him from trying the same with a group of A-rank monsters?

In fact, it would be easier, after all, the difference between B-rank and A-rank stats was not something that could be compared with the difference between A-rank and S-rank stats.

Alex just wanted to try to give himself a new challenge, like testing his body's limits, but he somehow felt that he wouldn't be able to test his body's limits even after this.

But that wouldn't stop him, he wanted to enjoy the fight and he knew that he was going to enjoy the fight, after all, he was going to fight against a bunch of A-ranked beasts with his stats limited to B-rank.

"Can't sleep?" Alex then suddenly turned back and spoke, causing the one he questioned to almost jump in surprise.

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

James had been having a hard time sleeping, and the reason for that was pretty embarrassing to say, after all, he would become a laughingstock if he said that he couldn't sleep without hugging his body-sized teddy.

That was the reason why he pretended to sleep and when he saw that everyone else had entered the dreamland, he got up and left the tent.

But just as he was getting out of the tent, he heard a voice...

"Can't sleep?"

James almost jumped in fright as he saw two shining red eyes looking at him from the darkness, but when he saw it clearly, he could see that it was Alex, causing him to sigh in relief.

"Yeah….." James then replied to Alex's question while scratching the back of his head with an embarrassed smile on his face.

James didn't know what he would say if Alex asked for the reason why he couldn't sleep, and he started imagining Alex laughing at him after he told Alex about the reason for his sleeplessness.

James quickly shook his head and looked at Alex who was looking at him weirdly, making him confused.

'Why the hell are you behaving like a little girl, man?' This was what Alex wanted to ask James but he decided to leave James to himself.

"I see, well, enjoy your time."

Alex spoke with a shrug and moved forward. He didn't want to wait for the beasts to arrive here since the fight would cause some noise, waking the raiders as a result, which he didn't want to happen.

"Yeah," James spoke, and he was about to find a place to sit when he saw Alex getting ready to move somewhere.

"Huh? Where are you going?" James asked.

"Well, there are some beasts coming in this direction and I am going to take care of them," Alex spoke nonchalantly, but James became serious as he turned towards the tent.

"What are you doing????" Alex asked James with a blank stare.

"Shouldn't we be informing others about this?" James stopped and answered Alex, but looking at Alex's blank stare, he felt that maybe he was doing something wrong.

"Why do you think I am going there myself? Let them sleep for a while, will you."

Alex questioned again.

"Ohh..." James finally realized that the guy he was talking to was the same guy who could take care of the herds of beasts like nothing.

James also thought that Alex was looking out for the raiders and was taking care of the beasts just so that the raiders could get some sleep.

This caused the respect James had for Alex to increase more and more.

"All right then, I'll be back in a while," Alex spoke, and he took out his simple sword getting ready to run towards the beasts that were moving toward them.

"Wait!!" But Alex stopped and turned his head towards James who was running towards him.

"What now?" Alex looked at James who was now just next to him and asked with some impatience.

After all, the more time he wasted here, the closer the beasts were getting.

But when he saw James's shining eyes, he felt that whatever James was going to say was going to be bothersome.
