Chapter 395: Unexpected Audience ② (1/2)

“What’s that?”

At that moment when the members of Birgit had crossed the gate with their close acquaintances of the Mist Town…a strange demonic beast appeared in the sky far at the horizon.

They were all sure that this was a demonic beast but didn’t know how to express it, so not a single one spoke.

““?!””

After that, a number of powerful flashes happened, and at the same time as this happened, the place was filled with overwhelming magic power that even Bir and his party managed to detect because of the waves that reached all the way to where they were.

The strange membrane-looking demonic beast floating in the sky.

What was happening below that was completely unknown for the Birgit party.

“…Oh my…”

“I thought Bir and his group would be the first ones because he was a master samurai and all, yet…”

“It looks like one group has already crossed.”

““!””

Jiel, Lacy, Ronny.

The Birgit party also noticed what’s happening there with the words of their now close friends.

A battle against the gatekeeper.

Right, it is not like that place is only known by Bir.

Different adventurers must have been guided to a different sector. They must have met different residents of the town than Jiel and the others.

That magic power and shockwave was overwhelming to the point that it made even the current Bir Sheet tremble.

They once again look over at the direction where that demonic beast was while thinking that maybe that was a fight against a gatekeeper, but the demonic beast was no longer there.

“That just now was…Pure Phantom.”

“Also Beheading Blade. Looks like quite the strong fighters are over there.”

“Fumu…looks like they are also being guided as guests. Moreover, it seems that was the 2nd Gate.”

“Oh my, to think they managed to reach the colosseum through fighting capability instead of a reward.”

“That’s a bit of a shame as the ones seeing after Bir and his group.”

It is rare to see the residents of the Mist Town show their surprise.

From what he remembers, the most surprise he has seen was when he was a Ronin, when he was showing his longsword battle skills.

(No, there was most likely disappointment mixed there. I probably have not surprised them with pure admiration.) (Bir)

At any rate, not even the presence of that truly mysterious demonic beast that looked like a mantle or a membrane was present anymore.

The Birgit members don’t seem to be able to get a grasp of the details of what’s happening, and yet, Jiel and the others were nodding to each other in amazement.

The intricate network of the Mist Town -their information transmission technique- would always manage to surprise Bir.

“May I?” (Git)

“Hm? What’s the matter, Git?” (Ronny)

Git had raised her hand timidly, and Ronny who was slightly spaced out looked back.

“According to what you said, at the place where that strange demonic beast was at, there’s people who have overcome the gate with their fighting ability?” (Git)

“Seems so. They overcame the first one with their legs, challenged the second one, and even when there was an intruder, they pushed them back without care. Moreover, the lives of the gatekeeper and the intruder seemed to be at risk here, so the higher ups came in to stop them.” (Ronny)

“!!”

“They are apparently Tsige adventurers just like you guys.” (Lacy)

The Gorgon Lacy glanced at Akos and Ranai as she added this information.

Thinking about the fact that they have finally managed to cross the gate after their own abilities were judged objectively, there’s only one adventurer party who would be able to manage such outstanding actions.

But Bir didn’t want to admit it.

He didn’t want to think that…there was still this much of a gap in their abilities.

“Alpine… They are on that level, huh.” (Bir)

The adventurer party that they admire, and at the same time, want to be called their rivals.

It seems like their backs were even further than Bir had expected.

“Who was the one that faced them in the 1st Gate?”

“The al-emera, Heschung. The alcohol in his system from last night was apparently not gone yet.”

“…Ema is going to get angry again. Most likely will be judged for not being able to show restraint.”

“What about the 2nd one?”

“The Mist Lizard Yusly.”

“It is a hyuman adventurer party, right?”

“It looks like there’s two hyumans, one dwarf, and one elf.”

“The wild Levi had intruded there and the two fell?”

““Levi?!””

The ones who showed clear confusion at this were Akos and Ranai.

It can’t be helped.
