SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Red balls?

The journey to the location was worse than expected. Thanks to the freezing cold and the murmurs spreading, more than one guild member had picked up on Robert’s insinuations and did not like what Sylvara had been up to. Everyone accused her of being selfish and secretive.

Nevin gritted his teeth and continued moving. He did not care about this right this second. All of this could be dealt with later on. It looked like they couldn’t leave Robert’s dealings unattended for long. The influence he had built over the past few days, quietly, subtly, was beginning to rot the guild from the inside out.

And now, Sylvara, who had poured everything into this guild, was being dragged through the dirt for doing exactly what the others were too afraid to try.

The path ahead narrowed into an icy gorge flanked by jagged cliffs. Frost crackled beneath their boots, the biting wind cutting into skin like tiny blades.

Robert stayed near the rear, exchanging whispers with Mendoza and a few others. Every so often, Nevin caught a glance thrown his way, but he didn’t react. Let them look. Let them whisper. As long as they kept walking, that was enough.

Finally, after another grueling twenty minutes of trudging through snow and silence, the big crater came into view. "It’s right here." Nevin opened and closed his mouth when his eyes widened in shock. There was absolutely nothing at all in the vicinity. Everywhere he looked, there were only frozen lands and screaming winds.

For a terrifying second, Nevin’s heart nearly stopped. The metallic fortress was gone? "No... no no no..." he muttered under his breath, stumbling forward into the center of the empty crater. He spun in a slow circle, scanning the area. What happened? Where did Sylvara do? Damon? Something couldn’t have possibly happened to that monster? fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Behind him, tongues started wagging once again.

"Is this a joke? Where is the dungeon entrance?"

"Why do you look like this, Nevin? Is something wrong?"

"Just like I said," Robert’s voice cut through the wind, smug and sharp. "Our dear Sylvara must’ve stumbled into some random trouble and now wants us all to bail her out. Heh? Did she die already? Maybe we should be looking in a graveyard right now."

Mendoza chuckled coldly and added insult to the injury. "So much for the hidden dungeon."

Everyone started to pile on Nevin, and the situation became worse. Thankfully, one of the other guild members, Matthew, had the common sense to do something different. He summoned his snow owl and sent it out to scout nearby areas.

The bird became tired in just a few seconds thanks to the intense cold, but it nevertheless came back with a successful chirp.

"Everyone, there is something up ahead. A few miles from here." Matthew then hesitated and added. "Some sort of red balls?"

"Beast eggs?" Robert’s eyes immediately lit up. "Come on. Let Nevin here figure out what happened to our beloved guild leader while she was secretly doing something behind our backs. We can go and take a look at the red balls. Maybe there is a world boss or some special event."

No one in the guild group objected, and everyone quickly started walking forward. A few members stayed back with him, but eventually they also left.

Nevin could only bitterly look at the ungrateful lot. Sylvara had helped out many of them personally, and yet this is the thanks she received in return. One vague accusation from Robert, and all that effort was tossed aside like garbage in the wind.

He stared at the crater one last time, his breath fogging in the air. Damon... Sylvara... where the hell were they?

Nevin clenched his fists and hurried after the others, his mind racing. Maybe the anomaly was related to them? What are the chances that something else would have happened this close to the same location?

As they trudged forward, the big red balls finally came into view. After all, they were extremely eye-catching and hard to miss. There were seven red balls in total, six of them scattered around a huge central one.

No matter from what angle they looked, these spheres were completely abnormal and appeared like some sort of special treasures or monster eggs or something like that. No one dared approach it casually, considering that something scary might pop out of it, but every single gaze was locked onto the unique blood red spheres.

Robert’s eyes gleamed with greed as he examined them carefully. After a few seconds, he took out a trident that had a silver colored snake slithering around it. Immediately, everyone gasped. The trident looked extremely unique, and the snake coiled around it was almost alive.
