Anomaly!

This was the unique term given to a terrifying and exceptional kind of gate.

Normally, Awakeners could freely enter and exit gates. However, Anomaly gates were different, once they formed, no one could enter or leave.

No retreat. No reinforcements.

That alone was terrifying, but it didn't stop there. The difficulty of the gate increased as well.

For example, if the gate was originally classified as B-rank, it would rise by one level, becoming an A-rank gate.

A single step increase in a gate's rank was nothing short of terrifying.

Rolf, staring at the Anomaly gate, was overcome with horror. His face turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself:

"It's over… it's all over…"

Seeing Rolf's reaction, everyone fell silent.

"What are you hiding from us, Rolf?"

Randolf's voice was sharp with irritation.

"You don't understand what you've done, Randolf... Tyler..."
