Awakened: SSS Ranked Soul king

Chapter 67 Dual blade

After waking up, they packed up their things, came down from the tall tree and continued on their journey.

The monsters weren't out much during the day and neither was the fog, though it could happen, it was rarely the case.

Before they knew it, they were on their way was again, using Guilliman as a forward scout, the paved a way deeper into the forest.

"The monsters that attacked this place weren't really uniform, and they came in waves of increasing strength and intensity" Victoria explained as she walked side by side with Guilliman.

"You have to understand, the ravens lord was not a push over, when he said no beast horde could take his keep, it was not grounded in arrogance alone, the Shelter had the might to decimate even our own if they ever came at lodgerheads"

This ravenskeep was a place of legends, a shelter of humanity that stood as a becon through the worse times of humanity. The people then, were truly warriors made in the flames of battle.

For proper scaling, the vast majority of Slayers in the Blacksteel shelter were capped at blue, with those capped at yellow being elites. But here in ravenskeep? The exact opposite was the case.

Being capped at blue was normal for training center students, they even had hands on fights with beasts in the forest as a form of extracurricular activities.

Yellow was the norm for the average slayer, which meant that...

Red was the Ellie class and they still lost to the horde?!!

"You're getting it now, even though the vast majority of Shelters gloated after its fall, it was only due to the Ravens lords hateful nature. Aside from that? This was an absolute disaster " Victoria nodded.

The story was so surreal in her mind, Four Abomination Ranked beast seiged ravenskeep along side a horde of unstoppable beasts. It felt like more beasts than land, and yet the raven lord held the place for 2 whole weeks.

Arrogant and powerful, these were the most apt words to use in describing him.

"Uhhh are you sure we should be heading toward this Shelter?" Guilliman asked a bitter look on his face.

This had obsured their path by a lot.

"Uhh, i think so, what that guys name again....Cyrus? It's his younger brother" Guilliman said.

These two were one of the more talented once in the bunch of private slayers. The elder brother had even defeated someone from a nobel family so they were definitely no push overs.

"Ahh? We've strayed that far away from the path?" Victoria frowned.

When she decided to follow the valor troops, several others had noticed and followed behind other noble families, one of them was the Dual blade brothers.

"Signal to them back and lead Jemie over there, maybe we can share some information" Victoria said walking back towards Hamdel and Barthold.

Meeting people was not a bad thing, in the forest of horrors, they were more than happy to meet anyone who has managed to survive.

"Hey, long time no see big guy" a fitted young man with a bald head walked over to Barthold and shook him in a brotherly matter.

They were training center buddies so by extension Guilliman and the rest knew them well.

"It really has been" Barthold smiled feeling a bit lost as he towered over Cyrus.

His berserker form allowed him to become bigger the more energy he took in without sending out. Because of how dangerous this place was, he had no choice but to stock up and stay stocked up for long periods of time incase of any beast attack.

"How are you guys surviving? Did you already lose your chaperones too?" Cyrus asked looking around at the cohort, they looked to be ready for anything, a clear sign that the valors and them had been separated.

"Lose? Don't tell me the black berry family got wiped out too?" Victoria frowned, they weren't particularly strong compared to the valors, but still....they were a noble faction.

"Wiped out? No we got separated by the fog...wait do you mean the valors have been wiped out?" Cyrus eyes widened with shock.
