“I’ll take you,” just as I had no aerial resistance, or even any fight from the ground forces against my chariot, I reached the side of the first gate easily.

Yet just before I could get close enough to touch it, I felt a weird pulsating energy wave coming from a direction to my side.

It wasn’t a simple wave of energy, but something so strong to even make me frown. Still I didn’t keep my chariot and moved closer, enough to touch the gate by just stretching out my arm.

And at this moment, a change happened so fast.

This energy pulse appeared again, this time it wasn’t a wave but like a torrent. It came from the direction of the lake nearby, making me feel like tens of thousands of eyes were focused over me.

*Splash!* *Splash!* *Splash!*

The situation started to evolve so damn fast! From the direction of the calm surfaced lake, a series of giant and clashing waves erupted out of nothing.

Then I could see many dark spots coming up from the bottom of the lake. I looked closer and this time I was pretty much sure… There was something flashing in the depth of that lake, something bringing forth such dense numbers of monsters in such a short time.

A gate! A sixth gate appeared here out of the blue, and in no other place but the depths of that lake.

A place that was way out of my reach!

“First you come to papa,” even if I had such an unexpected development, I didn’t hesitate to shut down that gate in the sky.

At least I’d get rid of one of the threats, leaving the gate under the lake for later.

*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!*

Yet my actions seemed to enrage the monsters coming from the lake. They seemed to expect my full attention focusing on them. Monsters with pride? That was nothing related to any normal or common monster in the apocalypse.

Taking the gate would require at least half a minute. It wasn’t much time to be honest, but compared to the closely packed hostile forces coming from the lake, it was too much.

*Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!*

Just before I could control half of the gate, I heard the whistling air before lots of projectiles hit my chariot’s shield.

*Crack!*

I looked in surprise to the deep and rapidly spreading cracks of my shield. I never expected such things to hold such violent power, enough to even bring my sturdy shield to such a state.

“Activate full power,” but I was only using a medium powered version of my chariot. I didn’t even think for a second and activated the fully powerful version of my chariot.

And with it, the shield that was on the verge of collapsing amended itself in a flash of light, returning to its fully intact and all powerful state.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

Yet the attacks never ceased for a single second. From my place I spotted thousands of octopus-like monsters coming out from the lake. Each had six arms and two thick and curved arms that acted just like the tail of any scorpion.

“Hybrid monsters?!!” It soon hit me when I saw the attacks coming from these two arching thick arms of these monsters. Each arm shone in a dangerous looking black and red way, releasing even a small cloud of dark red gas with every attack.

They looked like cannons, firing their missiles without a moment of rest. With the arrival of the first thousand hybrid monsters to the border of the lake, much more dark spots appeared from the depth of the lake, coming up as well.

The surface of the lake kept trembling, showing many holes as the monsters from down below didn’t even wait to reach the surface to attack me.

At some point, the lake surface churned and rolled up, forming giant pillars of waves that extended for tens of metres.

The scene looked weird and dangerous. The attacks that were enough to crumble my medium powered shield were now coming in many folds in numbers, and it was also getting more with each passing minute.

Even if this wouldn’t pose any threat to my shield and chariot for now, I couldn’t keep going like this. I knew if this was under my control at this moment, after five or ten or even thirty minutes, the situation would be really threatening.

“Unleash everything at those bastards,” the gate was now closed, and I was relieved from one problem for the time being, “hit those coming from water as well as those on the surface.”

The lake was now hardly described as one. It turned from the pure blue coloured waters into all dark, filled with endless monsters.

And with my orders, my forces unleashed their deadly strikes over the lake and the ground around it.

The first place I expected to fall was the ground around the lake. The attacks landed there and wiped out large numbers of monsters in the early few breaths.

But just before I could be totally relieved, I felt a sudden pulse of energy coming from no other place but the centre of that lake.

That gate… Something or someone was trying to intervene in this battle. All I saw was a gust of energy that stopped just a few metres on top of the remaining monsters, protecting them.

My boys’ attacks landed, and I saw that energy shielding the monsters down below from their attacks.

This couldn’t continue! If someone was trying to secure these monsters, then I should play safer and fly away for now.

I got one gate sealed. But that gate in the depth of the lake would prove to be hard to get. Yet I never expected to see a sixth gate in any city.

To summon this gate, someone had to pay a considerable price for that. I never expected someone to be ready to pay such a price, but it just happened here.
