37 CHAPTER 37 – Gate clear and a spoiler.
Alex, Alice, and Ann were walking together with Ann holding the sleeping Noctura in her hands.
Alice kept storing the magic crystals they came through as all of the magic crystals and drops were from the beasts that they had killed on their way in.
The beings killed by them had already disappeared leaving only magic crystals and drop/s (If any).
She was storing these things inside a storage ring, which is a rare drop item just like a disguise ring. However, the storage ring that Alice had was an A-rank storage ring with a capacity of 5m3, which is quite large. So, storing the loot was not a problem.
They were going towards the exit/entrance of the gate since the gate was considered clear after the boss monster was defeated. "Our work here is done, right?" Alex asked as they walked out of the gate. "Yes, they will take care of the rest," Alice spoke as she pointed towards the Raiders of Crimson Lotus that were standing right outside the gate, waiting for them to come out.
"Alright," Alex spoke as he stretched his arms which caused his shirt to lift up, showing his abbs. "…" Every girl in the area had their eyes attached to that exact thing. Be it Alice, Ann, or the ladies and girls in the group of Raiders from Crimson Lotus.
Alex also noticed that, but by that time he was already stretching, so, he ignored it. After all, how could he call himself a guy if he starts blushing like a girl would in this situation?
"Cough," A loud cough broke every girl out of whatever thoughts they were happening. But the girls glared at the guy who coughed.
Simon Weed, an A-rank hunter and also the group leader of the raid team from Crimson Lotus. He was the one who coughed when he saw the scene, but he almost peed in his pants when he felt Alice and Ann's glare.
He was fine with the glares of his teammates as he was going to work them extra hard but he couldn't do anything if Alice and Ann decided to beat him up, that too for an unjust reason.
"All right, let's go." However, Alex spoke before the guy could get his ass handled by Alice and Ann. Simon looked at Alex gratefully and Alex just nodded at him with a smile.
"…. Yeah." X2
Alice and Ann spoke together, though they were still looking at Simon, which made the poor guy uneasy. Then he sighed in relief when he saw them turning towards Ann's car.
As they sat inside the car, Alex spoke.
"What are they going to do now?" Alex could see that Alice and Ann were still looking towards Simon as they were sitting in the car. Poor guy Simon didn't even know that he was being stared at by two predators as right now, he was scolding the girls in his group.
"They will wait for the miners, laborers, and carriers to arrive and when that's done, they will enter along with them." Alex's words were answered by Ann, while Alice also moved her gaze away from Simon and spoke after that.
"He is one of the strongest raiders in the guild, so, he can take care of things on his own here." After completing her words, she yawned. "Get some rest, I will drive you guys home," Alex spoke as he got out of the back seat. "No, I ca-" Ann was about to object, but Alex cut her words.
"Ann, rest." He spoke with a stern voice causing Ann to swallow her words and nod her head.
He knew that she was tired as well, after all, she was the one who ran around the most.
Ann got out of the front seat and entered the back seat, sitting together with Alice. Both of them looked at each other, exchanged a small sweet smile, and then moved closer. Alex who started the car also smiled a little as he saw Alice and Ann closing their eyes while supporting their bodies together. They had their shoulders pressed together while their heads also supported one another. Who would not like the view of two beautiful girls sleeping together with a sweet smile plastered on their faces? Don't know about others, but Alex sure liked the view.
He then moved his hand toward the passenger seat and patted Noctura, causing her to purr in her sleep.
Ann had let her sleep on the passenger seat as she needed to drive the car, so, Noctura was still sleeping on the passenger seat. Alex just smiled happily as he looked at the three cute creatures he was surrounded with. Only he knew how he wished for every one of his days to be like this, where he just enjoyed the whole day without any disturbance.
<Alex....> Sophia spoke inside the system space with a sad face as if she could hear what Alex was thinking.
She closed her eyes for a second and when she opened them again, the air around her had changed and her eyes were now lit up with determination.
No one knows what she was thinking and why she was sad, but time will disclose everything. .....................…..
Simon and his group waited for the workers to come there while chatting with each other, completely oblivious to an unknown person who was standing 10m away from them, talking with someone on a phone call.
"They cleared the Gate, sir." A cold feminine voice was heard, indicating that the owner was a female.
"All right. Just follow them and continue reporting every one of their movements." A male voice was heard from the other side of the phone and if you were able to hear the voice then, you will recall hearing the voice two or three times before.
The owner of the feminine voice cut the phone without saying anything, then turned towards the direction Alex drove the car.
None of the features of this figure was visible other than chilling blue eyes, that flashed for a second before returning to the same emotionless state as before.
........................…..
The Gates do not just disappear after being cleared of the boss, it stays like that for a day or two. No one knows the reason, but no one actually thought much about it as it only brought profit to them.
How did it bring profit? They get to mine more things out of the gate. Although the things extracted, looted, or mined before the boss is killed were good and they bring profit, they are not everything the gate could give. If the Gate were to disappear just after the boss is defeated, then the owner of the gate would miss out on many things such as: - Rich minerals or any other resources that are in the proximity of the boss area, the loot that is kept in the Boss's treasury, the magic crystals dropped by the mobs during the boss fight, and some hidden chambers that store some hidden items. Before clearing the Boss layer, the workers can't enter the area near the Boss layer so as to not get targeted by the Boss.
But after the boss is dealt with, the workers can move around freely under the protection of some Raiders who are strong enough to deal with the remaining monsters.
Right now, Simon and his group were the ones who were given the duty to clear the gate of the remaining monsters while protecting the workers from any threats. The guilds also use the lower-ranked gates as a newbie training ground after the boss is dealt with. What is a better way to train newbies than providing them with practical experience? As the danger level of lower-ranked gates is very low, they serve as a perfect training ground.
Still, there are always exceptions, and one such exception was an E-rank gate in Green Country. However, no one knows that for now. Right now, there are some veteran C-rank Raiders of Smashers Guild who were merely leading a group of new recruits or newbies inside that exact gate while laughing and chatting with each other.
They were unaware of the fact the moment they entered the Gate; they were signing in for something they would never want to and it was – Death.
