BXBX NOVEL Chapter 214 Departure
The hunt in the Ruin was proceeding as smoothly as before. They ran through all the dinosaur monster hordes and slaughtered them. At the end of it, their level rose considerably.
Even though they started the expedition when it was already noon, they moved quite quickly and efficiently because they had leveled up several times and were already familiar with this Ruin environment.
When evening finally came, they saw a monster resembling a pterodactyl but with a gigantic size. Its wingspan reaches forty meters from one end to the other. Leon and his friends want to fight the monsters because they will definitely get a lot of Exp.
However, Clyde suggested that they return for now because it was getting dark. He also believed that they wouldn't be able to kill the monster quickly so they would fight until night came.
If it was him, then it wasn't a problem. But they still lack the ability to be able to fight in the dark.
Hearing Clyde's suggestion which made sense, they decided to comply and returned to Sivagadh Fortress.
Clyde returned with a disappointed face because he could no longer contact the voice of the Order of Mindweaver member. He didn't know how to contact him and that person no longer contacted him.
Last night was probably the last time that person contacted him. And he had to wait for another long time before they could communicate again.
He was quite frustrated because he had never heard of the name Celestial who ordered that individual to make his system. But for now, Clyde didn't think there was anything he could do about it so he didn't think about it too much.
They returned to the Fortress and immediately rested.
~~~
The day passed with the same activity for the five people.
Clyde emphasized again that they should not tell anyone about the power of the system. He also explained the origin of the system, minus the explanation about his own system and the limits set by the Celestials.
The five people showed the same surprised reaction. But it didn't take long for them to accept it and move on. After all, they felt that there was no problem about it. Because they don't know about the limit that will shackle them later.
Clyde didn't say that because he thought they would be let down and scared when they found out about it. And their spirits will be down. Clyde couldn't let that happen for the expedition they were about to embark on.
And finally, Leon, Albert, Wiley, Rosie, and Lola have broken through level 20. Leon and Albert are at level 23, Rosie, and Wiley, 22. Then Lola, who can finally catch up, is also at level 22.
Somehow, she can shoot more precisely and faster after being able to create arrows with her Mana. Lola managed to utilize her powers to hunt monsters more quickly. Because of that, she can catch up with her friends.
Clyde asked Maethion directly about their strength. Maethion watched them closely and saw that they had enough strength now.
"I think they're ready," Maethion said.
So, when the green light had been given by the Elf, the day for them to depart came.

Samuel was already waiting beside the portal when Clyde and his five companions came. Clyde frowned, wondering what he want to say.
"Can I talk with you for a second?" he asked.
They walked away from the others.
"What are you want to talk about?" Clyde asked. "Please be quick."
"Where are you going to take these new people?" Samuel asked in a sharp tone as if he couldn't accept Clyde's decision that he felt too rash.
"A Senior Council gave us an expedition mission," Clyde replied.
"What mission is it?"
"Investigating something. I can't say the details."
Samuel paused for a moment and stared at her with his piercing red eyes. "You're taking those guys who have only been here a few months and haven't done any training?"
Clyde nodded. "Yes."
"You want them to die silly?"
"They won't die. Don't worry." Clyde seemed eager to leave Samuel.
"What do you mean by that? Are they strong enough to go on an expedition in just a few months?!" Samuel's tone rose. The emotion in his ruby eyes was also evident.
Clyde sighed. "Yes. For more details about that, you can talk to Maethion. The Senior Council who gave this mission and approved their involvement."
Samuel's expression turned serious. He gritted his teeth and tightened his fist.
"I'm sorry. As I said, I can't give you another explanation because the Senior Council forbid it." After saying that Clyde walked away leaving Samuel who now looking furious.
'Senior Council must have approved their involvement since their strength is enough!' Samuel stared at Clyde's back. 'That bastard hides his secret to getting power quickly from me, but give it to them?!'
Samuel's eyes were now glowing red with a dangerous gleam. He immediately walked away from there before his anger took over his body and moved to attack Clyde.
'Ah, he's definitely mad.' Clyde took a deep breath. 'Let's hope he doesn't intend to do anything troublesome.'
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing." Clyde shook his head. "Are you ready?"
His five companions nodded simultaneously. Clyde then press an amulet that Maethion gave him to the portal.
The portal turned yellow like the color of the late afternoon sun. Clyde stepped in leading them and the five of them followed shortly after.
They arrived at a fairly normal place. Precisely, they arrived on a beach.
The afternoon sun was indeed there and almost set. Even though when they departed from the Fortress, it was still eight o'clock in the morning. But they are no longer surprised because they know that time is not an absolute thing.
"Maethion said we should find a sage who lives here," said Clyde.
Leon, Albert, Wiley, Rosie, and Lola all looked around.
"So this is just a dimension created by someone?" Lola asked, looking amused.
"Yes. Maethion said the person who created this wanted to have a comfortable place to enjoy solitude. Let's go."
