Chapter 18: Midnight gate
Instantly, the atmosphere in the room fell silent as soon as Ms. Khaya mentioned it. An expression of worry, tension, and fear instantly crossed everyone’s face in the room, as well as Shaan’s.
"But, calm down. So far, blood moon gates rarely appear in this world," Miss Khaya explained as she opened the blue folder in her hand. "The last blood moon gate appeared about 17 years ago and the monster that appeared was some kind of huge sea serpent that managed to get out of the portal and wipe out half of the small islands, but fortunately it was defeated by the combined efforts of several powerful Daemonists from around the world, so the portal was destroyed."
’Yes, I’ve also read articles that the snake killed a lot of humans. Even a world-class Daemonist almost died while fighting the creature, but fortunately was defeated,’ Shaan heaved a long sigh. ’Damn. I don’t know if that thing is still alive; I might never have been born into this world.’
"Alright, I’ll continue explaining the Midnight gate," Miss Khaya pointed to the next slide. "When you pass through the Midnight gate, you will be in a mysterious location called the Dark Realm. The Dark realm itself is similar to our world, but it is inhabited by terrible creatures from the world of darkness."
"Miss Khaya, I have something to ask," said a green-haired man, slowly raising his hand. "I still don’t understand how the Midnight gate works and how long the Midnight gate is open. Does the Midnight Gate open every day at midnight?
"That’s a pretty good question." Miss Khaya smiled. "As the name implies, the Midnight gate will open at midnight and can only be passed through by people who have gained the power of the seven virtue serum. Inside the portal, various dark creatures are trying to get out of the Midnight Gate. Therefore, Daemonists must defeat the boss inside the portal to close the portal. As long as the boss has not been defeated, the portal will continue to open and may threaten human safety in this world," Miss Khaya explained. "However, this does not mean that this portal will continue to appear every day at midnight. No one can predict when the Midnight Gate portal will appear, but within a week, it will certainly appear in a random location that is completely unpredictable."
’All right, Miss Khaya. I have recorded everything you said in my notebook," said the green-haired man, putting the notebook in his pocket."
"Good. Is there any other question?" Miss Khaya cast her eyes around. "If not, I suggest that you learn about the wildest survival methods in the dark realm. It is an important thing to learn, and just ask your respective mentors. They will be more than happy to help you."
’’Wildest survival methods in the dark realm?’ Shaan instantly furrowed his brow. ’Hmm... will probably ask Mr. Maximus about that.’
"That brings us to the end of the introductory session on Midnight Gate. I hope you found the information useful and will keep it in mind moving forward. Thank you for your time and attention."
