"How did you find out?" Tyson asked scratching the back of his head in confusion, a small smile on his face.
"You are a Platinum holder?! How? I thought you are a Bronze!" Rahond was going crazy, thinking he was stronger than Tyson all this while, not knowing this fool was hiding his actual rank.
"It's simple." Michael stored his weapons. "A Bronze medal holder won't be able to kill even one of these Lv50 monsters, Even a Silver won't fight them head on."
"I guess I exposed myself." Tyson said with a nervous laugh, seeing everyone's frown. He sighed deeply.
"Do you all remembered when she threw me across the room?" He turned to Erika, while everyone nodded.
"I made up my mind to get stronger, so I used the special card my Dad gave me with my pet. I thought it can boost me to the gold medal, but I stop in the platinum medal 1-star, Even though; she's still stronger than me; for gods' sake! Erika is a Platinum Medal 3-stars, and with that her bloodline fusion, she'll be a gold medal 1-star fighter. So I'm still weak..." He sighed.
"I won't be able to make a name for myself being a Platinum holder."
"You should be grateful Tyson, look at me; I'm older than you but still a Silver Medal 2-star... I'll give anything to enter the platinum medal."
"You don't have to give anything, Rahond. Because you are entering the platinum medal today." Michael said with a smile, not bothered about Tyson.
This guy hid his power so well, if he hadn't been suspicious and used the system, he wouldn't have found out.
"How?" Rahond asked, staring at Michael in confusion. Matter of fact; everyone was staring at him in confusion.
"Look around you."
"Are these?!"
Not only Rahond, but everyone including Jennifer was stunned. Seeing countless soul essence hovering above each Skeleton.
"You all know the rules, you can only absorb the ones you killed. But I have good news for Erika, Rahond and Tyson; three of you will be able to absorb the ones I killed."
"Huh?" The three looked at him in confusion.
"What about you?" Erika asked.
"The King's Soul essence is mine." He said and turned to the head of the Agra family. "You are ok with that, right?"
"Yes!" The head quickly nodded, and added;
"The only problem is." He looked around the place. "We have been walking around for such a long time, and haven't seen anything valuable. I don't think there is any treasure here."
"I don't know about these guys, But I'm only here to close the gate." He turned to his members, who had already gotten in a meditating posture, and started absorbing the soul essence.
"What are you waiting for? Join them!" The head yelled.
Sunny and the Man quickly sat on the ground, absorbing the ones they killed.
"Mr Michael, How powerful do you think the king is?" The head asked.
"Judging by these skeletons' Levels, and the sky outside. I'll say this king is a Lv70 or above, and might have a Divinity in him." Michael said with a dark expression.
"A-A-A Divinity?" The head stammered. "Are... Are you sure about that?" S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Yes."
BOOM!!!
A high amount of Mana Burst out from Jennifer, Erika, Rahond, Sunny, and Tyson, causing the Tunnel to tremble for a moment.
"What?" The elders were stunned.
"They all increased a star?" Even the head was dumbfounded.
"I Finally entered the 4-stars." Jennifer said with a smile.
"2-stars? It's not enough!!" Tyson yelled.
"So this is the platinum medal." Rahond clenched his fist, he was the only one who got two stars from this harvest.
"Congratulation, Erika for entering the Gold Medal." Michael said with a smile.
"Thank you for the essence." She thanked, while Rahond nodded. Tyson was still angry for gaining only a star.
AI sounded in all their heads.
"Come on! If we kill those remaining Skeletons, I'll also enter the Gold Medal!" He quickly stood up with his sword.
"What are you guys staring at? Let's go!" He urged everyone.
The Conquerors just chuckled and followed behind him.
"Congratulation Sunny for entering the platinum medal."
"Thank you, Michael. I want to ask, is there a spot in The Conquerors for me?"
"Yes Sunny." Jennifer said with a smile. "Right, Micky?"
"Right." Michael nodded at the two. "Send her a request. After the guild war. I'm taking all of you to play a game." He added.
"Wow! Can't wait!" Rahond said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm going to play VRG with Supreme!" Tyson yelled in bliss.
'The more worlds These Monsters conquer, the stronger they get. But if I stop them from conquering others worlds, their power will be reduced and my world will be safe. Right?'

The group walked for another half an hour before getting to a huge black and golden gate.
"I can't believe this, all this walk and not a single treasure, only sand and stones."
"Don't forget about Bones."
"Thanks you for the reminder, Tyson." The head said with a low Sighed.
"The treasures might all be in the room after this door." Jennifer said with a smile.
AHHHHH!!!!!!
The group sharply turned around, hearing a painful scream.
"What the hell is that?" Tyson asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, all of you should wait here. I'll check it out."
"Be careful Michael, it might be a trap." Erika said.
"Don't worry, Stay here." With that said he shot forward, activating [Dash.]

[Ten Minutes Later.]
"Are we going to remain here?" An elder said with a frown.
"The Guild Master said we should wait." Rahond said.
"He's your Guild Master, Not mine." The elder turned to the head.
"Family Head, I say we go. We three elders are all Good Medal Holders, the Family head guard is also a gold medal holder including you. We five can easily take down anything..."
"What about Michael?"
"He might have run away." The elder said. "Think about it, the more time we waste here, the closer other forces and families get to uncover the location of the gate, think about the family."
The head thought for a moment. 'We need these resources for the family, without them my family will decline and maybe collapse. If others get the news about this, I won't gain anything.' After a while of thinking, he nodded.
"Ok, let's go."
"But Dad!"
"No, Son. You know we need these resources, if the other families discover about this Gateway we won't gain anything. They might even attack us with the claims of hiding a gateway, so we need to clear it and also take the resources."
"But--"
"--Choose Son."
Sunny was silent, he thought for a moment and stepped back. "Sorry Dad, but I'm not going in there without Michael."
"I understand, Son." The head patted Sunny's right shoulder, then walked towards the gate with the elders and Family's head guard.
"Should we stop them?" Tyson asked.
"We can't stop them, only wait." Jennifer answered.
