The monster inside the gate, be it living or dead had exploded into mana particles, but that didn't mean that the monsters that were already killed by the raiders of Crimson Lotus guild vanished without dropping the loot they were supposed to drop.
Still, it was a loss that they couldn't kill more mid-bosses and get their loot, but it was fine since it was not the biggest loss they had in this gate.
The thing that felt like a real loss to them was the fact that the hidden boss didn't drop anything. It just vanished into particles.
But they were not sad, after all, their profits were enough to outweigh the losses by a lot.
Even if the hidden boss didn't drop anything, there was still the boss there and the boss did drop some very juicy loot, but that's for later to be disclosed.
Actually, even if the drops of the monsters were not there and the Crimson Lotus got nothing from the gate, they were still gaining a lot as none of the drops they would get could compare with the power upgrade they got.
Even if they got 10 mana cores, they would still not be able to train 5 S-rank raiders, much less gain 25 S-rankers.
So, instead of being sad about what they didn't get, they were happy about what they got as they raced towards the gate.
With no monsters to fight, a straight path without any obstruction, and a faster speed, it didn't take them long before they were standing on the spot they had landed when they first arrived.
They looked at each other with happy smiles on their faces, before they looked at Alex.
"Everyone's ready?" Alex asked as he saw them looking at him.
""Yes!""
They exclaimed in unison, answering his question.
"All right then," Alex spoke, and then all of them started levitating, and in a while, they were right in front of the gate's exit/entrance.
"Let's go!!" Maggie exclaimed with a smile before she stepped into the gate, followed by others.
.............................................
It has been around 2 or 3 hours since the shockwave was launched from the gate, and many things happened after that.
Many lives were lost in the events that followed after the awakening and upgrade people went through.
Many new gates appeared all over the world, and almost all of the new gates are said to be S-ranked gates.
There were even some reports of a new type of gate appearing. It was said that this gate was violet in color, and this news caused a lot of commotion.
It was already speculated that there might be gates with a rank higher than S, but with no solid proof, the matter was quickly forgotten.
Right now, however, things are different as there is no need to prove things or speculate things, the gate was real, and it was something located in the Indigo country.
Alice and Ann followed Alex's line of sight and saw many reporters moving toward them.
But they were not amateurs and they knew what they had to do, so they released the mana pressure from their body.
The mana pressure of two SSS-rankers would be enough to kill lots of S-rankers but Alice and Ann weren't releasing their full mana pressure, they were releasing just enough to make them look like S-rank raiders.
Then Alice looked towards the raiders of their guilds and nodded her head.
The raiders didn't even ask as they got their assignment and they released their mana as well.
The reporters that were moving forward stopped so did every movement in the surroundings.
Everyone was too shocked by what they were seeing/ feeling. They could all tell that the pressure released by the raiders of Crimson Lotus Guild was not something an A-rank raider should have.
This all implied a single thing but it was not something easy to believe.
As everyone was stunned, shocked by the revelation that they were still unable to believe, Alice spoke.
"We are exhausted because of clearing the gate and we would like it if you could let us pass so that we can go and rest," Alice spoke in a clear voice, the reporters heard it loud and clear as well, and there was nothing but silence after that.
'Clearing the gate' was still reverberating inside of their heads as it was one of the greatest shocks they had today.
But not everyone was so easy to shut up.
"So you are not going to answer any questions?" A reporter whose voice sounded very annoying asked.
"We don't even know the situation ourselves, what do you expect us to say?" Alice looked at the reporter who had spoken.
"Did you really clear the gate? And we want to know what happened insi-" The reporter was cut short before he could complete his words.
"We will be having a press conference tomorrow as we have some things to announce as well, so you guys can get your answers there."
Alice replied and then she completely ignored the reporter who was grounding his teeth against each other as he couldn't get a single answer.
"Let's go."
Alice commanded and the raiders from her guild followed her closely as the crowd parted making space for them.
'Tell me everything,' Alex commanded Sophia, who replied almost instantaneously....
