As the changes were happening outside of the gate, the same was happening inside the gate.
The explosion that happened inside the gate was so big that the structure of the whole gate had changed.
The tree, rocks, or the large volcano, none of them could be seen anywhere, much less the monsters. The only thing that could be seen was a vast expanse of plain land, with nothing over it.
If one were to try looking around, then they could look at anyone, no matter how far apart they are standing, after all, there was nothing stopping their line of sight.
But the point was that no one was looking at that as right now they were too happy to even think about something.
If raiders outside the gate, who didn't even experience the shockwave of mana from close could experience so many changes and get their ranks up, then what about those who were at the epicenter of the shockwave?
Well, those guys were just too shocked to even speak, that's what the guys in the epicenter of the shockwave were doing.
When the beasts exploded into a mass of mana, Alex had already shielded them all with windshields, but that didn't stop mana from entering, it just stopped the shockwave.
So, when the mana hit them, the raiders felt their bodies being revitalized, they felt like their bodies were being massaged by expert hands.
It lasted quite long as well, but when it ended and they finally came out of that euphoric state, they started realizing what had happened.
When they felt the power in their body, they all exchanged dumbfounded gazes, even Frank, Alice, Ann, and Noctura were dumbfounded.
Everyone then turned towards Alex, only to find him standing there, looking at them with a smile.
'So, it's finally the right time you said huh...?' Alex spoke inwardly with a smile.
[Yes, now you can break through this world's limit, and you won't face any restrictions.]
Alex just smiled as he heard her words.
He could also feel the restriction that was there in the atmosphere, stopping him from breaking through to the next rank dissipating slowly.
Alex had already reached EX-rank a month after activating his bloodline, but he stopped his progress, or it would be better to say that he stored his progress and saved it for later use.
Sophia had told him that if he breaks through to the next rank, then he will have to face some restrictions.
Now those restrictions can't stop Alex, not at all, but those restrictions will still be there every time, and that's something Alex found annoying.
So, Sophia advised him to wait for a while and not forcefully break the limit.
'How long is this 'while' by the way?' This was what Alex had asked.
[Well, I can't tell you, but I'm sure you'll know when the time is right.]
Alex smiled as he remembered those words.
"25."
"Huh?" everyone turned towards Alex with a confused look.
"I said 25 S-rank raiders," Alex spoke as he moved his hand placing it on top of Noctura's head, finally making her visible to everyone.
Noctura had also received a power-up as she was just a B-ranker but now she is a low S-ranker.
Although it was a good boost and it looked like two ranks up's just like, the difference between her two ranks and Ann's two ranks was not something to be compared.
But Noctura still had a huge increase in her strength and with the power she had right now, she might be able to kill an SS-ranker if and only if she were to attack first.
Alice just smiled as she looked at Noctura.
How could she forget to count her cute little friend?
"Is there any guild that has 25 S-rank raiders out there?!" Alice asked again.
""NO!"" The raiders replied with happy smiles on their faces.
The serious mood was already destroyed, now the mood had turned cheerful, but they didn't blame Alex for that as it was better.
"Then is there still any guild who can claim to be Rank 1, if not us?!"
Alice exclaimed.
""NO!!""
The raiders shouted.
"Then let us go and tell the world that we the Crimson Lotus are the one and only guild in this world who could be called rank 1!"
Alice commanded as Alex slowly landed them on the ground.
"YEAH!"
The raiders shouted in unison.
Alex also just smiled as he thought, 'It's finally time to reveal some of my powers to the world huh'.
