"Why not?"
Prairie Fire asked in confusion.
The Silver Dragon Gatekeeper responded expressionlessly, "Another group of warriors just entered. You came too late."
"F*ck!!!"
Prairie Fire and the others expressed their disappointment. As expected, this quest was omnidirectional. Furthermore, it was exactly what Prairie Fire was worried about. This quest wasn't about abilities. Rather, it depended on one's progress and speed. Even though they moved quickly, they were still too late.
"Please leave!" The Silver Dragon Gatekeeper repeated, "This is the Giant Dragon Tribe's Stronghold. Trespassers are not allowed."
With that, the two Silver Dragon Gatekeepers stepped forward and stared at everyone. They seemed prepared to launch into battle anytime.
"…"
Prairie Fire and the others felt their hearts tremble as they shuffled back in terror. They returned to outside the castle reluctantly.
