"Oh, he's done with the boss already?"
Alice's voice was quite low, but with the silence on the field, it was clearly heard by the raiders below, and the words sounded louder than nuke in their ears.
Those words echoed in their minds until it finally sank...
They exchanged looks and seeing the same dumbfounded expressions on their companion's faces, they knew that it was not one of them who was just hearing things. All of them heard the same thing, which meant that none of them were hearing things and Alice actually said that.
They just looked in Alex's direction with a comical expression on their faces. They were looking towards the direction Alex flew off, even though their view was blocked by the monsters.
They had an expression that had relief, happiness, dumbfoundedness, and many other complex emotions mixed with it, making it look quite comical.
The positive emotions were there because they knew they were saved, and they had cleared the gate. They were going to be the first guild to clear an S-rank gate alone, that too a special one.
But they were dumbfounded, shocked, amazed, and awed as they thought of what Alex had done.
It didn't even take Alex and minute before he was done with the boss, the same boss that almost made them piss their pants with just a look.
If someone asked them how they viewed Alex, then their answer would be a single word – Monster.
But overall, they were happy that they were going to leave the gate alive but looked like they were celebrating a bit too early.
Deep inside the volcano, a golden pair of eyes opened with a snap and there was rage bubbling inside of them.
"RRROOOOAAARRRR"
A thunderous roar was heard, and it shook the whole area.
The joy in the raiders' eyes vanished as it was replaced with dread. Simple pure dread.
Even Frank was not spared since the pressure that descended upon all of them was nothing to scoff at but before they could fall unconscious or get harmed by the pressure, they felt another pressure crashing with the pressure, dissipating the last pressure altogether.
They turned toward Alice who had helped them get rid of the pressure, but Alice was not looking at them, instead, she was looking towards the volcano that seemed like it was about to erupt any second now.
Then they heard Alice murmur....
"Looks like the real boss is about to come out......" Alice murmured with a serious expression.
Then a large shadow shot out from inside of the volcano, directly into the dark clouds, out of everyone's sight.
The raiders had their eyes up in the sky as they were unable to catch the figure of the one that shot out of the volcano. The beasts, however, still didn't look up and stayed down, keeping their heads bowed.
While everyone had their own difficulties, Alex was standing nonchalantly in the air, without any tension whatsoever as he was looking at the hidden boss.
The clouds were not something that could stop him from looking at the beast, but he let the beast think that it was hidden and no one could see it.
Alex could tell that the beast was observing the whole field as even if it was enraged, it was still an SS-rank beast and it was not going to act on impulse, though everything had a limit.
The beast was larger than the boss, with a wingspan of 25 meters and a length of 24 meters. It had menacing dark red scales with some shining yellow scales that crackled with yellow-colored electricity.
The beast was a wyvern just like the boss and from what Alex could guess, it was probably the mother of the beast as Alex could tell it was a female.
The beast had shining yellow eyes that almost looked golden, its claws alone were long enough to cleave a human without much effort as it was around a meter long if not longer.
That wyvern was large enough to crush a human with its feet, however, it was not large enough to not feel pain from being pierced by Alex's simple sword, which was enough for him.
Still, Alex could just use aura or mana to make the sword larger, but he was going to fight the wyvern with magic, after all, they were going to fight in the air.
Alex kept observing the beast while it was observing the battlefield, but then Alex saw the beast stop flying as it just floated while flapping its large wings.
Alex could see the beast looking at a fixed spot with its slit eyes narrowed before it opened its jaws, causing yellow electricity to crackle around its jaw while its throat started turning red.
Alex could tell what it was trying to do without thinking much as he had already seen that attack once.
Alex followed the wyvern's line of sight and his eyes narrowed as he found out what that wyvern was trying to do.
Alex didn't even wait for a millisecond and directly shot toward the wyvern at full speed, though he had his stats limited to SS as he didn't want to end this fight too early.
Not after looking at what the beast was trying to do....
