Discover stories at empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anaya, Damon, and Daveon struggled with the unfamiliar environment, the sweat beading on their foreheads a clear sign of their discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are we supposed to survive here?\" Anaya asked, her voice carrying a mix of frustration and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't even know where we're going,\" Damon added, glancing at Leana, who remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leana had heard their complaints but paid them no mind. Without a word, she began walking away, her confident strides kicking up small clouds of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd already made it clear: their survival depended on how well they followed her orders. Now, she wanted to see if they would trust her enough to follow without questioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, the three students hesitated, exchanging uncertain glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like moths drawn to a flame, they quickly chased after her, falling in step behind her. None of them dared to ask where she was leading them, though their curiosity was palpable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, the heat continued to torment them, their bodies struggling to adapt to the harsh environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon wiped his forehead, muttering something under his breath, while Anaya fanned herself with a small piece of cloth she had tucked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daveon remained stoic, though the slight tightening of his jaw betrayed his discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than dwell on their plight, Anaya decided to lighten the mood. \"Alright,\" she began, glancing at the others, \"let's play a little game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon raised an eyebrow. \"A game? In this heat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not?\" Anaya countered with a grin. \"We're stuck walking anyway. Might as well make it interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leana kept walking, her expression unreadable, though she listened quietly to the conversation behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" Daveon said, his tone resigned. \"What's the game?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anaya's grin widened. \"Who do you think will adapt to the heat first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them burst into laughter, each confidently pointing to themselves. \"Obviously me,\" Damon said, puffing out his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way,\" Daveon shot back. \"You're already sweating buckets. I'll adapt first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anaya shook her head. \"Both of you are wrong. I'll adapt first because I have the strongest willpower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their playful banter continued until Daveon glanced ahead at Leana. \"You know,\" he said thoughtfully, \"I think Miss Leana's already adapted. Look at her—she's not even sweating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group fell silent for a moment, their eyes on Leana's calm, composed figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's a machine,\" Damon muttered, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anaya decided to move on to the next question. \"Alright, how many demons do you think each of us could kill in a day, starting out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question sparked another round of discussion. Damon estimated he could kill about five, Daveon thought he could handle six, and Anaya confidently claimed she could kill eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about each other?\" Damon asked, curious about their perspectives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daveon smirked. \"I'd say Damon would manage three at best. Anaya could probably do seven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anaya rolled her eyes. \"I'd give Damon five. Daveon, maybe six.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They went back and forth, analyzing each other's strengths and weaknesses until the numbers were settled. None of them estimated more than ten demons for themselves or their peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Miss Leana?\" Anaya asked, her tone serious for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them fell into a brief debate, eventually concluding that their guardian could easily slay over a hundred demons in a day if she were actively hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leana remained silent, though a faint smile tugged at her lips. She was amused by their confidence in her abilities, but she didn't want to break her quiet facade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, she acknowledged that they weren't wrong—she could eliminate hundreds of lower-grade demons in a day. But when it came to higher-grade demons, the numbers dropped drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anaya broke the silence with a more morbid question. \"Alright, who do you think would die first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group fell quiet again, the question hanging awkwardly in the air. Then, one by one, all hands pointed at Damon—even Damon himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Anaya exclaimed, surprised. \"You think it'd be you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon shrugged, a small smile on his lips. \"Of course. If it came down to it, I'd sacrifice myself to make sure you two survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His answer momentarily softened the mood, but curiosity got the better of the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you point at Damon?\" Anaya asked Daveon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daveon smirked. \"Because he's more attractive to demons than I am. They'll target him first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon groaned, shaking his head. \"Unbelievable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you, Miss Leana?\" Anaya asked, her tone suddenly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leana didn't hesitate. \"Damon would die first because he doesn't know when to stop. He's the type to carry every burden, even if it kills him. It's a good trait for a leader but a dangerous one in a place like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her answer cast a somber shadow over the group, the already oppressive atmosphere growing heavier. Sensing the shift, Leana quickly changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's lighten things up,\" she said. \"Who do you think has the most potential, despite all three of you being S-Rank Talents?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students immediately pointed at Damon, their unanimous decision catching him off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me?\" he asked, genuinely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're reckless,\" Anaya said, grinning, \"but you've got the heart of a leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Damon could respond, Leana came to an abrupt stop. \"We're here,\" she announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students looked around, their eyes scanning the desolate landscape for any sign of significance. In the distance, they could make out a jagged structure rising from the ground, its dark silhouette stark against the crimson sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this place?\" Anaya asked, her voice barely above a whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leana turned to face them, her expression serious. \"This is where your training begins. Stay close, stay sharp, and follow my lead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three students nodded, their earlier banter forgotten as they prepared themselves for whatever challenges lay ahead. Their journey into the depths of hell had officially begun.\u003C\u002Fp>",1017,"2026-06-05T19:28:51.149Z",1,"novelbin.me","bd0b66f07f6bd435713d5e0aa276d5c5022f6fe997d4d67cb78f1ccef0945cb3","sss-ranked-awakening-i-can-only-summon-mythical--chapter-183","sss-ranked-awakening-i-can-only-summon-mythical--chapter-181",548,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsss-ranked-awakening-i-can-only-summon-mythical--cover.jpg"]
