BXBX NOVEL Chapter 236: Successors
**It was amazing watching you all, but I\'ll get going now.**
"Huh?"
All the soldiers were stunned hearing the Orc\'s king.
**We\'ll see again in the future.**
All the Orcs stopped attacking, and moved backwards, standing in front of the Orc.
**Don\'t worry, As the Lord is known as "Wealth-giver" I\'ll give you your rewards for showing me your strength... Try and survive the S-Rank gates that will open in an hour. Hahaha!!!**
"What?!"
Before their eyes, the Orcs Vanished one at a time, and in less than 1 minute, only the soldiers were left on the field.
"What is this about?" Celina landed on the ground.
"I don\'t know, but it seems these monsters are up to something." Commander Wang took his normal appearance, landing beside her.
"What did he mean by gates? How many S-Rank gates do we have?" Glen was dumbfounded.
"He also said they\'ll open in an hour, how is that possible? S-Rank gates always takes two weeks before opening." Kay asked.
"I don\'t know, it seems..." Commander Wang looked around the Remaining 50 Soldiers.
"The S-Rank gate in our city will open in An hour."
"But... What about the rest?" Celina asked, she was scared, if an S-Rank gate open in a city, the whole city will be leveled to the ground by the Monsters who\'ll exit the gate.
"I don\'t know, but we need to get out from here and close the S-Rank gate in our city! And fast!!"
The soldiers nodded. The next moment;
WHzzzzzh
A blue gateway, and a pile of treasures appeared in front of them.
"Let\'s go, Although the boss escaped, the A-Rank gate is closed."
He walked towards the gate, followed by his soldiers, leaving the treasures behind... Saving their city was more important than any treasures.

[East gate.]
Jasmine, Karen and the other 18 members had waited for half an hour but got nothing, no sound or anything... They stood in complete silence, hoping to hear anything... But the only things they could hear was the sound of their breathing and heartbeat.
"What is happening in these passages? Show we enter?"
"No, the guild master told us to wait here." Jasmine shook her head. "We must wait."
The rest looked at one another, then nodded at her.
WHzzzzh!!
They all swiftly turned around, pointing their weapons at the gateway which appeared out of thin air.
"What the hell?" Karen infused his Mana in his weapon, ready to attack.
But to their shock, two young girls in black Overcoat walked out from the gateway.
"Who set such weak illusions? I detected it in less than a second." Maria shook her head, feeling extremely disappointed.
"You have a light Bloodline, it\'s normal." Mira answered.
"Mira? What are you doing inside a gate?!!" Jasmine yelled in horror.
"Oh, Miss Jasmine... Thank goodness you are still alive." Mira said with a smile, walking around the place.
"Huh?" Jasmine and Karan stared at the two in mild confusion.
These two are just Bronze medal holders, who the hell let them enter the gate?
"I\'ll deal with those soldiers when I\'m done here." Jasmine hissed.
"Slow down there, girl. They\'re with us."
Michael and Erika walked out from the gateway, which then closed behind them.
"Michael?" Jasmine was stunned.
"Where is Daniel?" Michael asked, moving his gaze around the chamber.
"They went through these Passages." Jasmine gestured to the paths in front of her.
"You guys\' eyesight are really poor."
Everyone turned to Maria, who was slowly walking around the chamber, feeling the carvings on the walls.
Jasmine looked at her members, then turned to her: "We don\'t get."
"With the things written here, It shows these paths are not even here."
Karen: "What?"
Everybody: "..."
Jasmine: "Meaning?"
Seeing their shocked expression, Maria chuckled.
"What did you find Bestie?" Mira asked, walking towards her.
"Check this out." Maria pointed at the writings on the wall.
[T°|¥| - €R| - €}L - ×}}÷S׶[S.]
Mira blinked in utter confusion, she then turned to Maria.
"If I tell you I\'m utterly confused, will you believe me?"
"Fufufufu... This Is a word puzzle..." She turned to Erika.
"Can you help them complete it, we used to do this a lot when we\'re kids."
Erika frown slightly hearing Maria, she walked up to the two girls.
Michael and the rest moved closer to understand the puzzle.
"These words mean "These - are - all - Illusions"." Erika stated.
"Correct, so whatever is in this gateway is keeping you guys here for a reason." Maria turned around to Jasmine and her members.
"That means these paths are illusions, but... How are we going to remove it?" Mira asked.
\'If the system was active, this would be a piece of cake.\' Michael thought inwardly.
"Easy." Maria channeled her Mana into her fist, and gave the wall a powerful blow, which was more terrifying than a normal Bronze medal holder\'s punch.
Instantly, their surroundings shattered like glass, revealing their exact location.
In front of them stood Daniel and the other groups with a confused expression, when they saw Jasmine and the rest, they got even more confused.
**Hahaha! My mission is complete, Hemara\'s Successor, Nyx\'s successor, Artemis\'s and Athena\'s successor... What a revelation!**
Michael and the group turned their heads to the right, seeing a 10 feet tall dog with two heads and a snake as its tail.
"An Orthus!" Daniel got on guard.
**Calm down Mortal, if I was to kill you, you all will be dead by now.** Orthus said with a bored expression, and added:
**At least, Hemara\'s Successor came alone and help you brainless fools, I was almost tempted to eat you all... But the mission first.**
"What mission?" Michael asked, walking towards the Two-headed dog.
**Oh, The Mortal who my grandmother is after.**
"You haven\'t answered my question."
**I\'m not oblige to, just know one thing, The S-Rank gates will destroy your cities!**
"Gates? Like "S" at the back?" Karen was stunned.
**You can call it as you like, but when the time is right, your world will be Doom, we\'ll see again.**
Orthus vanished from the place, while treasures appeared in front of them, then the gateway.
"We almost cried because of an illusion." Jasmine chuckled at the irony of the situation, she then turned to Maria.
"Thank you, Although we have no idea why this creature keep us here, I have a feeling we\'ll find out once outside."
"It\'s not a big deal, but Michael..." Maria turned to Michael who stood silently, lost in thought.
"What did that dog mean by "Successor"?" She asked.
