Bab 211: Secret

"Chieftain, what should we do now?" 

The question came from Thundar, whose excitement was barely contained. The thought of obtaining countless Alpha-level crystal cores from the Bottomless Abyss had his heart racing. 

"We'll wait for Rendall and Onyx to return, then discuss assigning an Alpha-level warrior to guard this place alongside Lorelia." 

"The candidate will be chosen from you, Rockwell, Onyx, or Rendall. Alternatively, we can rotate the responsibility." 

Though Orion framed it as a discussion, his tone left no room for doubt—he had already made up his mind. 

From the encounter with the black-armored salamander, it was clear that the creatures from the Bottomless Abyss were adept at biting, highly agile, massive in size, and often protected by scales or armor. 

To deal with such Alpha-level monsters, Spider Queen Lorelia alone wasn't enough. A warrior capable of direct confrontation was essential to hold the line.
