Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 86
byAt this moment, several frost giants from the undead race suddenly appeared, flying towards the battle lines.
“Beware, they’re undead dragons!”
Someone shouted.
Everyone nervously engaged in defense.
Taking advantage of this, Shen Ye, using the momentum of his charge, rolled forward—
He landed in the dust, and, taking the opportunity of the roll, suddenly pulled out the black stone and stabbed it into the ground.
A hole was punched through the door in the dust, and the stone was tossed through.
Main world, floating island.
The black stone landed in the stream, was carried for a while by the undercurrents, and then sank to the bottom, mixing with a pile of other stones.
Shen Ye stood up.
The door was gone.
The link between the two worlds had disappeared.
He took a few steps forward and shouted, “I want to see His Highness the Prince.”
A female elf holding a staff stepped forward and quickly said, “Follow me!”
Shen Ye looked closely; it was Yudeliyah, the Grand Royal Mage.
He immediately got up and followed her.
The two passed through the crowded masses, squeezed between rows of large cannons, and finally arrived at a heavily guarded tent.
“If it’s just military intelligence, you can tell me,” Yudeliyah said.
“I can’t see the Prince?” Shen Ye asked.
He subtly glanced at the undead dragons flying high in the sky.
Yudeliyah, being who she was, immediately understood his meaning.
“Saint Paige… actually, you cannot enter, but it no longer matters. After all, you made that vow and can never betray humanity.”
She pulled open a corner of the tent.
Shen Ye immediately entered the tent and quickly said, “I finally got rid of their surveillance. Actually, the undead race sent Freg, the King of Shadow Assassins, the White Night Strangler, the Enemy of Elves, and a group of renowned undead generals to assassinate the Prince.”
A deathly silence fell over the tent.
The atmosphere felt off.
Shen Ye was slightly startled, his gaze sweeping over the human powerhouses standing around the large bed, finally resting on the bed itself.
Prince Norton was on his last breath.
Six priests were desperately chanting incantations, releasing divine light to heal him.
“Paige.”
The Prince forced a smile.
“What happened to you?” Shen Ye asked in surprise.
“I am at death’s door, so your intelligence is of little use—but thank you for making the special trip,” the Prince said, his face ashen, with a voice that had seen through life and death.
Through the blood-stained bedding, Shen Ye saw that half of his body was gone.
Such injuries, yet he hadn’t died—
It only showed how incredibly powerful human healing abilities were.
Shen Ye looked at Yudeliyah.
Yudeliyah sadly shook her head and murmured, “May the Goddess of Nature guard your slumber.”
The white-haired old man also spoke, “May mystery and law forever guard your soul.”
A great knight, weeping uncontrollably, knelt on one knee, placing his sword across his neck.
—If the Prince died, he too was ready to die!
Everyone remained silent.
Shen Ye was momentarily stunned, then suddenly remembered something.
Time was of the essence!
Better to try than to sit and wait for death!
“Your Highness the Prince, you have shown great kindness to me and bestowed upon me the title ‘Saint’. Today, I, Paige, have a family heirloom healing medicine, and I would like His Highness to try it.”
“—But no one else can interfere, because I just came from the undead side, and I don’t trust anyone here!”
Shen Ye shouted loudly.
Everyone looked at him.
But before anyone could react, Shen Ye had already roared:
“Everyone move aside! This is the last chance! Don’t waste precious time!”
He walked towards the bed.
Several knights moved to block him, but the Prince called them off.
“Let him try. There’s no hope left anyway. I don’t mind someone making one more effort for me.”
The Prince said with difficulty.
Everyone immediately obeyed, clearing a path for Shen Ye to stand before the Prince.
—In fact, everyone present had always been with the Prince.
They had also witnessed Shen Ye’s entire acquaintance with the Prince and knew of his ‘Saint’ conferment.
—He would never betray humanity.
Moreover, the Prince was in dire straits and had given the order himself.
So, let him try!
Shen Ye directly pulled out He Xisi’s spray, pulled back the quilt, and sprayed the Prince’s mutilated body.
“Ah ah ah ah—”
The Prince suddenly let out a cry of pain.
Several knights immediately moved to intervene, but Yudeliyah stopped them on the spot.
“Yudeliyah, you—”
The great knight was surprised and furious, about to draw his sword, but was stopped by two priests.
“Stop! The Prince can feel pain now, which means the treatment is working. Do not interfere!”
A silver-haired priest said solemnly.
The great knight immediately dared not act recklessly.
Shen Ye then pulled out the bottle of medicine, poured out a few pills, and shoved them into the Prince’s mouth.
—The spray and medicine were both things that humans in this world could understand.
Now, it was up to fate.
On the other side.
Undead Highlands.
Freg, the King of Shadow Assassins, stared intently at the human battle lines.
A voice emerged from the void beside him:
“No great commotion.”
“And no death aura of departing souls.”
“Unable to confirm the effect.”
“Perhaps the matchstick boy failed.”
Freg waved his hand, and all voices instantly disappeared.
He revealed a cruel smile and whispered, “No, he didn’t fail. I saw him enter that tent, and Prince Norton is in there.”
“But… that doesn’t mean he completed the assassination,” a voice asked doubtfully.
Freg pulled out a bone-like rectangular object from his waist and said triumphantly,
“I gave him an undead secret message box. It doesn’t contain a map of the battle lines, but a highly advanced soul-shock explosive bomb.”
A series of astonished gasps and cheers echoed through the void.
The voices grew increasingly excited:
“The power of this bomb is quite considerable, even… well, its only flaw is that it only works within a five-meter radius.”
“It doesn’t matter! The matchstick boy has already entered the tent!”
“As long as it’s detonated, it will definitely kill the human Prince!”
“But the matchstick boy will also die.”
“That’s his own choice.”
The strong undead spoke amongst themselves.
Freg suddenly raised the bone object high.
All voices once again fell silent.
Freg sneered, looked around, and declared loudly in an oratorical manner:
“Destroy, last divine bloodline of the human empire!”
“Your death symbolizes that humanity has reached its end, and the undead race will become the true leaders of all existence on the surface!”
“Starting from this very moment!”
He pressed the bone object fiercely.
All eyes were cast towards the human battle lines, awaiting to witness history unfold.
—But nothing happened.
Instead, a notification sound came from the bone object:
“Too far away, unable to detonate.”
Huh?
Freg felt a bit humiliated.
But it didn’t matter; these were just minor details.
As long as he got a little closer…
He leaped, darting over layers of undead soldiers, and rapidly moved toward the human front line.
After running for about five hundred meters.
Freg stopped again, held up the bone object in his hand, and shouted loudly:
“Humans, when I press this button, your last hope will be extinguished forever, and you will become slaves of the undead race, no longer worthy of contending with us!”
He pressed the button.
The notification sound rang out again:
“Too far away, unable to detonate.”
Still too far?
Freg’s face twitched.
But there was nothing he could do. At such a critical moment, he couldn’t afford to mess up.
Freg passed through the warring soldiers of both races, quickly approaching the human battle lines.
Closer.
Even closer.
This time, Freg was determined, going directly to the outer perimeter of the Prince’s position.
This was the most intense combat zone!
Freg raised the bone object high, facing everyone’s gaze, and roared loudly:
“Norton! Leader of evil humans! Most terrifying capitalist! You are the core leader of 996 and 007, you should return to dust!”
The whole place fell silent.
He pressed.
Pressed hard.
The notification sound rang out once more:
“Too far away, unable to detonate.”
Freg froze.
He was so close here!
Why did it still say too far?
He would definitely kill the person who developed that bomb when he got back!
But now—
Freg let out a furious roar, raised the short knife in his hand, and shouted sharply:
“Charge with me!”
The surrounding void flickered, and densely packed undead appeared alongside him.
These were truly powerful members of the undead race.
At this moment, they no longer hid, but joined the frontal assault, fully assisting the undead army in breaking through the human fortifications.
