'I can't let others find out about my identity...'
Lucas took out the black mask he was wearing when he visited the black market.
Lucas closed his eyes for a moment, then checked where the cameras monitoring the cafe were located, and walked into their blind zone. There, he put that mask on his face.
After that, Lucas took a deep breath… and disappeared in a blur.
Lucas has used the first movement of stellar stride:-Astral Dash
A few seconds later and hundreds of meters away at the edge of Silva City, an armoured figure wearing a fearsome black mask appeared, with a sword resting on its shoulder.
Lucas's plan was simple he was going to stay near the S-rank gate, from another point of view it could be an idiotic move considering that there is an S-rank gate he facing.
But Lucas thinks otherwise.
First, weak monsters come from the gate. Any type of gate dungeon speaks of.
If Lucas stayed in the City he was going to hoard monsters with C, B or even A of calibre.
And Lucas would die in a few moments when he faced those monsters.
The first batch of monsters that will come from S- the rank dungeon gate should be [D-] or[D] rank and Lucas himself at [E] rank at the moment, plus with the help of Isla [Strength enhancement potions] Lucas strength will at peak of [E+] or early [D-] realm of for 3 minutes.
Considering all of this Lucas had a pretty high chance of surviving when he faced the monsters that would be coming out from the S-rank gate.
Lucas used Astral Dash again and in a few seconds, he was near the cave, where the S-rank dungeon gate is.
After stopping there for a moment Lucas took out [Strength enhancement potion]
Name : [Strength enhancement potion]
Description: With [Strength enhancement potion] User strength and all states will be doubled for 3 minutes.
Lucas drank it then [Strength enhancement potion] after seeing the status.
Few seconds he could feel his strength and other states increasing.
Status Window." I again called Status Window to check my new progress.
Name: Lucas DarkHeart
Rank: E+ [ All stat are increased for 3 minutes]
"Aside from Luck and charm everything increases," Lucas muttered to himself as he his stats.
Lucas looked up at the sky as he felt rainwater drop in his hand.
"Looks like rain is coming," Lucas muttered as he started to walk the road in front of him.
There was a strange pressure rising in the air, getting stronger the closer he got to the nascent S-rank dungeon Gate.
In front of the S-rank Gate, half a dozen people stood, staring at it in tense silence.
The first two were the member of Stark family who stood there, with lifeless expressions on their faces.
The other four identities Lucas doesn't have as they were wearing hero costumes, but Lucas could tell they were strong as they were excluding D and C rank pressure.
While that fact didn't promise him anything good, it was to be expected.
Maybe they were overly confident in their abilities, or maybe, they had people they cared about in the surrounding area.
In any case, he couldn't help but feel a bit of respect toward these people. Coming to a S- rank dungeon gate that was about to explode already required a lot of courage…
These people were ready to die to fulfil their duty.
'they are true heroes.'
That was Lucas's first thought after he walked close to them.
Without slowing down even a little, he calmly walked past them and stopped with his back to them.
Unwittingly, Lucas found himself standing at the head of the small group of defenders.
Unlike them, he showed no sign of fear, He knew that since he was here already there was no helping to let out his fear. The others were staring at the Gate with pale faces, their bodies tense, their eyes full of unease and dark resentment. Lucas's pose, however, was confident, indifferent… almost relaxed.
And in the eyes of the black mask, there was nothing but darkness. The rıghtful source is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥
The others reacted to his arrival with excitement. One more person to fight with them was already a good thing, their chance of survival went up after Lucas showed up.
At that moment, an especially strong tremor ran through the ground.
The wind howled through the empty forest as if the air was being sucked into the widening rift.
And then, an invisible shockwave spread out of it inside of the cave.
Lucas resisted the push and suddenly felt the familiar feeling permeate his soul.
This time Lucas could resist the push as he and others are thrown back as they are hit by a shockwave that comes inside the cave.
The S-rank dungeon Gate had opened.
"He will be fine, you know that Lucas faced similar situations."
"Are your brain cells dead Adrian? It's nothing like before he has faced, heck there was at least a chance to survive when we were facing Samuel but this is an S-rank dungeon gate we are talking about."
Isabella said or more likely angrily shouted at Adrian.
At the moment Isabella, Adrian, Evelyn and Sunny are inside the mansion hall.
They were not alone, like them, all of the students were there, and most of them were trembling with fear of death.
They could never imagine that something could happen when they were on their first vacation.
Adrian's mouth is slightly open at the insult of Isabella. He doesn't know what to say for the moment, he doesn't even know that Isabella could able to express this many emotions for Lucas.
"Come down Isabella-" Before Evelyn could finish she felt an invincible shockwave pass through her.
Not only her but all of the students, and staff felt that invincible pressure.
"Yes, an S-rank dungeon gate outbreak!" Adrian completed it for Sunny.
