As Ann walked toward one of the trees that looked most beautiful out of all, Alex looked at the system interface that was showing the new quest he had.

'Anomaly huh...'
Alex muttered.
The Anomaly part caught his attention since he felt that this anomaly was responsible for the changes in the gate.
[Most likely.]
Sophia replied to Alex, clearing his doubts yet again.
'But what about the boss and mid-bosses?'
Alex didn't see any bonus objectives about the boss and mid-boss this time, which confused him.
[This gate didn't have any mid-boss in the first place.
It just has way too many mobs that it doesn't even need mid-bosses.]
'I see, and the boss?'
Alex questioned again.
[Probably killed by the anomaly.]
'Thought so.'
Alex nodded inwardly.
It was not hard for him to guess that. The anomaly, whoever it is, must be strong, or he wouldn't get two bloodline upgrade serums for killing it, and since it is strong, it would be noticed by the boss monster.
The boss monsters in most of the gates are arrogant and territorial, and they love their position, so the boss of this gate must have tried to eliminate the anomaly, thinking that the anomaly could harm his interest.
But instead of being able to kill the anomaly, the boss must have died at the hands of the anomaly.
By the time Alex was done thinking about these things Ann had already arrived in front of a tree with beautiful pink and purple petals mixed together.
The combination just made the tree look better than any other in the surroundings.
Ann smiled in amazement as she looked at the tree.
"I'm here!"
She turned toward Alex and Alice and waved her hand.
Alex just smiled as he shook his head.
'It won't attack you right now, you know....'
"All right, your task is done, goodbye now."
Ann who was avoiding the Drrot's attack without much effort just waved her hand and this time an even larger harpoon was created.
*Swoosh*
The harpoon wooshed toward the forehead of the face-like shape on the tree's trunk and pierced it, but it didn't stop there as it shot out from its back.
*Kwa....*
The creature let out a last growl before it died.
Then as if the death of one of them was an indication for them to move, the other trees started to transform into the same hideous form with low growls.
*Krrr...*
*Kaarrr...*
*Kooo...*
...
..
.
"What do you think about your picnic spot now?"
Alex asked as he saw Alice looking at the creatures with disgust.
"I'll clear the gate..."
Alice murmured in a low voice.
"You can take care of as many as you want, there is no scarcity of those things here, but leave 2000 of them for me to kill."
There were no less than 10k of those creatures in the surroundings, more actually, but they were at least 2k.
"All right."
Alice nodded her head and then she shot toward the nearest beast.
'Where are you now, Mr. Anomaly....?'
Alex muttered inwardly as he used his perception skill, which had a range of 500 meters right now since he had his stats suppressed to SSS rank.
But after not finding anything for a while he decided to just go on cutting or burning down the trees, there was no way he would not meet the anomaly on the way.
Alex took out his simple sword or Varethian, as he calls it now.
Alex had given his simple sword a name, it was now called Varethian, the ever-changing blade.
However, unlike the time Noctura was named, nothing happened this time, at least nothing that Alex could see or tell.
As for the question: Were there any changes in the sword after naming?
Alex would say, 'No'.
But were there really no changes?
Only time will tell.
