Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 130
byA few minutes later.
Shen Ye entered the prince’s tent.
This time, it was different from any other time.
A group of generals stood inside the tent.
Two heavily armored great knights, with kite shields strapped to their backs and war hammers hanging from their waists, stood one on each side of Prince Norton.
——They didn’t look like they were protecting the prince, but rather monitoring him.
A gray-robed elder, holding a golden staff, stood in front of the writing desk.
Prince Norton was bowing his head, writing military orders.
When the curtain was lifted, everyone looked over.
“Peiqi? What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to scout out the enemy?”
Prince Norton shouted.
“I told him to come,” the gray-robed elder grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
“That’s not right. The guards said the prince sent for me. How can you impersonate the prince’s orders?” Shen Ye asked, surprised.
“Impudent!” the two great knights shouted in unison.
Their bodies exuded a murderous aura, as if they were ready to kill Shen Ye at any moment.
“It doesn’t matter, the child doesn’t understand the meaning of this scepter in my hand—it’s made of pure gold, engraved with the royal family’s exclusive sacred violet pattern, representing the majesty of the Emperor.”
The gray-robed elder raised the golden scepter high, as if he was greatly interested in discussing the matter, and continued:
“Holding this scepter proves that I represent His Majesty’s will.”
“So, when I had the guards call you, I was not offending His Royal Highness the Prince.”
“I see. What do you want from me?” Shen Ye asked.
He stole a glance at the generals, only to see them all bowing their heads, not saying a word.
His eyes met the prince’s, but he saw the prince’s eyes briefly shift towards the door, then quickly return.
——Is he telling me to leave?
“Your Highness has bestowed upon you the name ‘Saint’,” the gray-robed elder said.
“That’s right,” Shen Ye replied.
“Heh heh, Your Highness is too naive. How can a teenager be named ‘Saint’?”
“Also, I heard that when the undead assassin Freg assassinated the prince, you protected the prince—how can I not see that you have such strength?” the gray-robed elder said.
He shot a glance at one of the great knights.
Prince Norton’s expression changed drastically. He shouted, “No! Peiqi saved me with his wisdom, don’t you dare—”
Before he could finish his sentence, the great knight suddenly disappeared from his spot.
At the same time.
Big Skeleton yelled in Shen Ye’s ear, “Watch out! To the right!”
How could Shen Ye not know?
What a good Peiqi. He didn’t retreat at all. A frost magic eye quietly appeared above his head.
Two lines of faint glowing text instantly condensed:
“Under the blessing of the ‘Moonlit Divine Illumination’ magic eye, the power of all your Moonlight-系的 skills is increased threefold.”
“The power of a single World-rank ‘Thunder Shock’ has been increased threefold.”
The great knight reappeared silently, raising his war hammer, and said without emotion,
“An undeserving sycophant, this is the end for you.”
Shen Ye’s expression was calm, his hands formed into palms, pushing forward with all his might.
The world quieted for an instant.
If time could be frozen, it would be seen that in that instant, endless blue-white currents surged from Shen Ye’s arms to his palms, forming a gigantic lightning hand over three meters tall.
Even the knight’s war hammer, in front of these two hands, was nothing more than a toy.
Boom—
A fierce wind raged.
The great knight was struck by the lightning palm, leaving a phantom image of himself and his hammer in place, while his true body was dragged by the lightning into a twisted, winding electric snake of light, smashing through the tent, overturning many barricades, chariots, and other tents along the way—
The great knight bounced off the ground like a skipping stone, carried forward by the immense impact.
He flew over five hundred meters, creating a deep crater in the hillside.
The earth shook violently.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
All the tremors gradually faded, yet the air was not calm.
The wind.
The wind brought by the lightning returned.
The tent’s curtains were blown away, and the roof was gone.
Shen Ye stood in the wind, smoothed his disheveled hair, and chuckled:
“All of you bear witness, I stood here without moving a muscle.”
He was just a boy.
But that move just now was too powerful.
——This move was worthy of the power of the World, and even more worthy of the might of the Hun Tian Men’s “Night Roaming”!
The gray-robed elder’s hair stood on end, and he roared, “Presumptuous! It was merely a spar, who told you to use full force?”
Shen Ye’s eyes were as still as the sea.
That knight had tried to kill him.
How dare you say such a thing?
“Hehe—you misunderstood, I was just playing around.”
Shen Ye showed a shy smile, like a real fifteen-year-old boy, but his words grew increasingly dangerous:
“Really just playing around—if you don’t believe me, I’ve recently learned a new striking technique—Prince, can you give me a bow?”
“Take it!” Prince Norton wiped his golden lizard bracelet, tossing a pale longbow and a full quiver to Shen Ye.
Shen Ye slung the quiver over his back, held the longbow, and his whole aura surged.
Two ice dragons, along with the star-formed dharma idol condensed from his magic eye, flickered behind him.
“This time I’m going all out—do you want to try again?”
He asked the gray-robed elder.
The gray-robed elder turned to look at the other great knight.
That great knight lowered his head and silently took a step back.
Damn it.
I’m loyal to the emperor and love my country, but I’m not stupid!
The gray-robed elder’s face darkened, and he growled, “Peiqi, you’re insubordinate—”
“Insubordinate your mother,” Shen Ye interrupted him, his eyes cold. “You wanted to test me, and now you say I’m insubordinate?”
The gray-robed elder raised his golden scepter and roared, “I come representing His Majesty! How dare you be rude to me?”
Shen Ye smiled indifferently, retreating step by step towards the door.
“You wanted to kill me to establish your authority, right? It’s a pity you haven’t bothered to find out why the Prince knighted me as Saint Peiqi.”
He seemed unable to suppress his ferocity, and said, brimming with killing intent:
“That day—the undead assassin Freg had his neck snapped by my bare hands, and I casually tossed his head to the ground.”
“No one could save him.”
“That’s how I protected His Royal Highness, understand?”
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.
The gray-robed elder’s face also turned pale.
That was Freg, the strongest ghost assassin from one of the three great families of the Undead Empire!
The truth was actually like this!
This young man is truly a monster!
Why did I have to provoke him!!!
Only the prince silently lowered his head.
——This brat is truly a master at faking it to scare people.
The gray-robed elder forced himself to say, “Don’t give me that. Everyone saw you were rude to me, I represent—”
By then, Shen Ye had retreated to the doorway.
The next second.
He vanished instantly!
Everyone was shocked.
The gray-robed elder’s voice also stopped abruptly.
This really is—
Everyone watched, and then he was just gone!
“Please excuse the commotion.”
Prince Norton clasped his hands behind his back and said indifferently:
“Peiqi is a master whose strength far surpasses that of the ghost assassin Freg, an assassin king whose whereabouts even the Shadow Brotherhood cannot trace.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that he owed me a few favors, he wouldn’t listen to me at all.”
He looked at the gray-robed elder:
“What do you plan to do? Order his arrest? Or send people to kill him? I can’t be held responsible for the consequences.”
The gray-robed elder felt a lump in his throat and couldn’t utter a single word.
At this moment, he also regretted it immensely.
Why didn’t he clarify things before making such an enemy?
An assassin far surpassing Freg…
Could he return alive from the front lines?
Prince Norton looked at the shocked crowd and nodded secretly.
He too knew how to create a buzz.
On the other side.
Courtyard.
Shen Ye stepped over, and the killing intent on his face instantly vanished.
He slumped to the ground, panting like an ox.
Lines of faint glowing text appeared:
“You used the Star Dharma Idol and unleashed a class skill.”
“This move consumed a great deal.”
“Your remaining attributes are as follows:”
“Strength: 3;”
“Agility: 4;”
“Spirit: 2 (Your bracelet added another 0.1 for you);”
“Insight: 5;”
“Resonance: 5; Moonlit line of inheritance resonance +20;”
Even insight was consumed.
…So, using the Star Dharma Idol with class skills can be considered a full-power ultimate move?
Shen Ye got up, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.
——Actually, he had been startled himself just now.
Thunder Shock Palm is one of the four techniques of Frost Moon Shakes Heaven, belonging to the “Night Roaming” class, recognized by the World, and has already advanced to World-Rank One.
He didn’t expect its power to be so terrifying.
Now he somewhat understood Officer Wu’s words: “When you use the power of the World, it’s like you’re acting on behalf of a deity. Compared to your previous strength, it’s like the difference between clouds and mud.”
“Are we still going to go over?” Big Skeleton asked.
“Let’s rest for a bit,” Shen Ye said.
Ten minutes later.
“Going over?” Big Skeleton asked again.
“What’s got you in such a hurry?” Shen Ye asked, curious.
“The things obtained in Evernight City should be usable in the Nightmare World, so we must go there,” Big Skeleton explained.
Shen Ye, left with no choice, filled in his free attribute points to boost his various attributes.
He felt much better now.
“Do you want to see the human prince first? Or check our gains?”
“Look at you, so anxious—never mind, let’s give His Royal Highness some time to sort things out and take control, then we’ll go see him.”
Shen Ye stepped through the door and back into the secret passage.
He curiously played with the pale longbow in his hand and said,
“This bow seems pretty good.”
“Fake, a replica, barely usable,” Big Skeleton said disdainfully.
Indeed, there was a line of faint glowing text next to the longbow:
“???? Bow replica.”
“Item Level: White.”
…The prince knew what he was doing.
He actually knew that what he gave away would never be returned.
“Do you want a good bow?” Big Skeleton asked.
“Of course!” Shen Ye said.
“The real version of this bow is in the Evernight City royal palace. I’ll take you there later.”
“Good, now let’s see what we’ve gained,” Shen Ye said.
Shen Ye wiped his ring and took out a large stack of parchment papers, placing them on the table.
“The God Lord had a premonition before His downfall, so He instructed me to find an opportunity to retrieve these things. In fact… I was so busy fleeing that this is the first time I’ve seen them.”
Big Skeleton said with a sorrowful tone.
“So you don’t know either?”
“That’s right.”
“Tsk, let me see.”
Shen Ye had felt these parchments were odd before, but now that he scrutinized them, the strange feeling in his heart grew even stronger.
It wouldn’t be Gloom Whisper, would it…
“Hello, are you a dead person?” Shen Ye asked rather politely.
The parchment didn’t react.
Big Skeleton couldn’t help but say, “Come on, these things should be some kind of storage for a god—”
Mid-sentence, an anomaly occurred—
The parchment sheets “whooshed” up into the air, piecing themselves together into a three-meter-tall humanoid figure.
Its skin was ashen-black, as plump as a small mountain, bald, and its face was covered with mouths.
“Ah… I never thought I could climb out of hell…”
The monster whispered.
