Awakened: SSS Ranked Soul king-Chapter 58: Dangers Of The Gate

-Roar!!

-Roar!!

Seferal Ferocious roars resounded in the middle of a vast expanse of rock and cracked soil and dust. The area was hot and tense, with numerous beasts lurking in the shadows of mountain structure all around.

In this world beast were classified into several tiers,

Ordinary, Mutant, Sacred, Grand, Mythic and Wayfarer, each several times as dangerous as the last. And in this vast expanse there seemed to be no limit on what kind of monsters stretched along the expanse.

In fact, every single tier was available in the abundance, just by looking to the left they could see several Sacred and grand beasts that would otherwise be hard to find in the Blacksteel shelter.

"This is just disappointing" one of the many members of the caravan, a man with a furry hide over his body shook his head looking at the beast littered all over.

Unlike the shelter, everything in the vast expanse of the unknown was fair game. There were no restrictions whatsoever. So he as a Slayer capped at Yellow could go after as many Sacred beasts as he wanted.

Just the thought of the number of echoes he would get from this large collection was nerve wracking.

But, he had to take into account every other beast in-between. Attacking a sacred beast would be fun if the grand beasts lurking around wouldn’t constantly stalk him.

Worse case he would get mauled by a mythic creature.

’Better stay in one place’ the man shook his head, he didn’t want to die now, staying close to the wayfarer was the only way.

"How long are we from the gate?"

In a completely different part of the caravan, a young lady asked while seated atop a griffin like creature with metallic feet and claws.

Mr Silverstein had handed over his beast Weiman to Victoria as a guardian during their journey to the gate. It couldn’t pass through the gate though, so that was about all it would be able to help with.

"Hmmm just a few hours away, Dorn already spotted it last night from high ground so it shouldn’t be too far away" Thane who was seated atop a black horse responded calmly.

The Blacksteel family was essentially leading this expedition. At least their younger generation was.

"Ohh, that’s good" Victoria nodded, they had been on the road for about 4 days, this was allot considering that they were all slayers with strength capped at yellow.

The amount of distance they could cover a day was vast.

"Yeah, you all should save your strength, the first and most dangerous trial of the gate will be entering it. We won’t know what’s on the other side so…" Thane said a gloomy expression appearing on his face.

For all they knew, a hoard of monsters could have already formed on the other side of The gate waiting for them to arrive.

If that happened they would immediately face massive losses or maybe they could even be wiped out.

"Haha, you speak like you’ve ever been in one" beside Guilliman a loud female voice resounded breaking the tense atomsphere.

It was a slim lady with green hair and a viciously beautiful look on her face.

Viper

This girl had found her way into the caravan dispite losing against Gunta Ironback, she weaseled her way onto the list.

"Yes, youre right. I haven’t, but you know the stories…" Thane smiled at his sister.

Gates were the number one threat to everyone on the shelters, a single gate opening next to an ill equipped shelter could spell the death of an entire region, that could mean millions of bodies.

If such a thing would happen after the beasts came flooding in, he could only imagine what they would face while in the beasts main territory.

"Calm down brother Thane, it’s just a yellow gate, we can handle it…don’t forget Dorn is capped at red now" viper could see the worry in Thanes eyes. This brother of hers was always thinking about others, and their well being….but what he cared about the most was the safety of the shelter.

He was truly righteous

"Hahaha, yes you’re right, we have big brother Dorn on our side" Thane laughed loudly, so much so that others in the surroundings couldn’t help but look over.

Thane looked very confident and his laughter was assuring to those who were feeling doubts in their hearts.

"Yeah, we have the hero Dorn on our side!!"

"He’s at Red, no one can stop us"

Before they knew it, morale was risen just by a few words, even Dorn didn’t know what happened but the gaze of these guys were making him extremely uncomfortable.

Hours passed and soon the came infront of a slope that went downwards into a basin.

"Lord Nightmare, We need save passage" At the forefront of the caravan, Dorn patted the back of the Wayfarer Wolf.

Down in the basin surrounding the gate were several grand beasts and five mythic ones. They had been drawn in by the enery pulsating from the gate.

"Everyone, break into companies with a blacksteel as the lead. We need to secure this place first before entering" Dorn commanded the members of the caravan.

They needed to cleanly sweep the surrounding of monsters before entering so as to fortify it for their eventual exist.

If they didnt? Well, coming back to a horde of monsters would not be a fun to say the very least.

So immediately the thousand slayers separated into companies of a hundred and groups of 10.

They then surrounded the basin in a circle before descending with swift force, each company challenging either a grand beast or a mythic one.

Unfortunately for the company which Guilliman and Victoria belong to they would be going up against a mythic beast all thanks to the powerful thane and his little sister viper.

They didn’t complain though as they swiftly cut into the hoard of beasts with their beast echoes summoned.

It would be a bloody fight
