Chapter 302 Entering The Dimensional Crack

After flying for almost a week after choosing not to go to any of the teleportation hubs due to how expensive they were, I finally found myself landing in front of a large number of men and women, all wearing nothing but the standard military uniform that my father wore.

However, in contrast to my father's uniform, these were a little lighter while there were a lot fewer badges all over the uniform, making me immediately conclude that my father must have been at a much higher rank than the people in front of me.

'My father's cultivation is around the low Liquidus stage, right? Then I should be more powerful than him right?' I thought as I recalled the strength of my father alongside the things that the Major General had said about him.

However, before I could make any more conclusions, Hela had quickly stepped in.

[While many things had been said about your father's strength alongside the fact that you have seen his strength first hand, you have to take into account that he might have sealed his strength for the time being while the Major general, Jack, might have lied about his power.]

[You have to remember that many nobles, people of high authority in the army, and people in power, in general, do keep their power levels secret, whether that is because they don't want to show the commoners of the nation their true power, or that they don't want to show other races and nations their power is something I do no know. All we do know is that they do hide their power, another example being your mother who even after sealing her strength, still had a power level of 100 000.]

'You're right' I nodded, yet at the same time, I made sure to not waste any more time and started moving towards one of the people with a darker military jacket and more badges on her jacket too.

From what I could see, almost everyone wore a shade of green. Of course, some wore shades of grey, something to had not understood yet, but most people were wearing green.

The woman I had walked towards was also wearing green, yet due to her slightly darker tint of green, I was capable of understanding that she was of a higher rank than everyone around her.

"Excuse me miss?" I called out to the woman who was holding a notebook in her hand while looking at all the soldiers and noting some things down.

When she heard my voice, she looked at me with a distinct annoyance in her facial features as well as he soul flame, but after she looked at my mask before slowly trailing down to look at all of my clothing, she seemed to have understood something causing her to smile wryly at me before saying-

"An adventurer? What a surprise. I heard they would be coming but I thought that since you guys were coming from the eastern region, you would take at least a week or two" She chuckled before darting her eyes around me.

When she couldn't see anyone around me, she tilted her head a little and started to look behind me, as if I could hide 2 people so easily without her feeling their mana fluctuations or even feeling their presence.

"Did you come alone?" She asked, now visibly confused as she hadn't been told about a solo adventurer coming to participate in the raid of the dimensional crack.

"If you don't mind me asking, how many people are coming on this raid?" I asked, ignoring her question causing her to visibly frown a little before finally letting it go, not wanting to ruin anything.

"Well, there should be around 50 to 75  individuals. Of course, a lot of them will be coming in a group of 10 while other guilds like the Discarded Devils guild only sent three of their most talented. Can I ask which guild you have come from?" She asked, this time a little skeptical.

"Discarded Devils" I replied simply

​ "Really? Then where are the two others that were supposed to come alongside you?"

"They were taking too long so I flew ahead of them... Well technically, none of us were moving together anyway so I chose to just fly all the way here. I thought they wouldn't be too far behind me but I guess not" I shrugged nonchalantly while looking around at all the people who were walking about, not caring about my presence yet at the same time, visibly avoiding the two of us who were having a conversation.

"How many have already come?" I asked, cutting her off from asking her next question.

Thinking that it must have been a mistake from my end to cut her off like that since I wasn't directly looking at her, she could only sigh before looking in a certain direction and stating

"Well, about 30 of them are already here but that was all the ones that we're pretty close to. you are the first person to come from the eastern region even though there were a few kingdoms that were closer to here than Lagua city"

"I see..."

"Anyway, how did you get here so fast? Did you use the teleportation rings? You must have been loaded for you to be able to come here so quickly" She chuckled, but I did not reciprocate, simply stating that I had "Flown" all the way here while not specifying any of the details.

This was mainly because I was looking in another direction already, the direction that she had looked at first and the direction where all the other mercenaries were stationed

When looking in that direction, I could see around 30 individuals walking around, and even though none of them were considered remarkable, I could see one small yet extremely powerful mana signature amongst all of them. The mana was powerful, sending mana fluctuations that only I could perceive and feel due to having a divine body alongside my divine eyes that could perceive almost everything.

'It's strong...'
