Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 90
byNightmare World.
Safe house.
Shen Ye went to the study again to take a look.
Prince Norton was still writing feverishly, issuing military orders to various positions.
“Peggy, we’ve stabilized our positions now. Next, we’ll gradually launch a counterattack—at dawn!”
He looked quite energetic, sweeping away his previous despair and despondency.
“Really? That’s great, aren’t you going to rest?”
Shen Ye asked.
“You go rest. I still need to issue military orders. Tonight is critical. Oh, and let me tell you something funny.” Prince Norton said.
“What?” Shen Ye asked.
“Those undead assassins were frantically scurrying around, looking for me, and my ambushes killed a large number of them!” Prince Norton said excitedly.
Shen Ye was also infected by his mood.
“Haha, that’s hilarious, I never thought those guys would have such a day!” He laughed, crossing his arms.
Hilarious?
This expression was quite apt for the emotion.
Prince Norton was stunned, then echoed, “It truly is hilarious, hahahaha.”
Time slowly passed.
A night went by.
Day broke.
Shen Ye had spent the whole night lying on the sofa in the living room.
After waking up, he stretched, stood up, and went to the kitchen to whip up two bowls of potato and corn soup, then called the Prince for breakfast.
“Work hard with me, Peggy. Do a good job, and I’ll make you a high-ranking official.”
The Prince chatted while eating, seemingly in a good mood.
“Being an official is too tiring, Your Highness. Just give me the money directly.” Shen Ye said.
“You want money without working? Hilarious.” The Prince said.
Oh, he’s quite good at this!
“Then give me some easy work to do, please.” Shen Ye said with a smile.
“Easy… I haven’t heard that word in a long time.”
A golden bracelet carved into a lizard on the Prince’s wrist suddenly vibrated.
The lizard looked up at the Prince and spoke in human language:
“The stench of the undead is spreading rapidly, and they’ve stopped outside the house’s main door.”
The Prince and Shen Ye both turned to look at the room’s main door.
“Damn it, they’re here after all.”
The Prince’s expression was grave as he placed his hand on his waist.
A slender, sharp silver rapier hung at his waist.
But in his current state, he couldn’t participate in overly dangerous battles.
Shen Ye sighed, stood up, and blocked him.
It seemed he had to fight.
He only hoped it was scout-type undead, not—
Suddenly.
A muffled voice came from outside the door:
“Prince Norton, is that you?”
It was Freg’s voice!
—Freg, the King of Shadow Assassins!
The air seemed to freeze.
Shen Ye realized something.
—The opponent was “King of Shadow Assassins, Hero of the Undead, Collector of Eleven Kings’ Heads, Assassin who Betrayed the Deities.”
He was no match at all.
щщщ_ттκan_℃ O
The Prince was also seriously injured.
It’s over.
It’s truly over.
Prince Norton swayed, but managed to steady himself, placing his hand on the rapier at his waist.
If this was the end…
He was about to speak, but Shen Ye stopped him.
“I, the little match boy, have completed my mission.” Shen Ye said.
Prince Norton turned sharply to look at him.
Shen Ye winked at him and continued in a low, grim voice:
“The Prince of the Holy Violet Empire has been captured and is here. Please come and see for yourself.”
At this moment—
Prince Norton gave Shen Ye a faint glance.
Betrayal?
Was it a mutual destruction?
But everything Shen Ye had just said was a lie.
He was deceiving the undead.
Nevermind.
At most, he’d see what happened… his fate was already sealed anyway.
*Clang.*
A soft sound.
Prince Norton’s thoughts froze.
“You bas—”
He uttered one word and then fainted.
Shen Ye withdrew his hand strike and placed the unconscious Prince comfortably on the sofa.
“What’s that noise?”
Freg asked cautiously.
“A working noise.” Shen Ye said.
He walked forward and opened the door of the house.
Outside the door.
Freg, the King of Undead Assassins, had assumed a defensive stance and saw the situation in the room at a glance.
—The little match boy actually did it!
Prince Norton of the Human Empire was indeed knocked out and was confined here!
“How did you do it?”
Freg tried to suppress the excitement in his heart and asked calmly.
Shen Ye said, “I gained his trust, and he only took me with him when he fled.”
His hand remained on the doorknob, suppressing its trembling with great willpower, and he continued in a calm tone:
“He had already realized that someone among his close confidantes had betrayed him, so he didn’t bring any of them.”
Freg glanced at Shen Ye in surprise.
Only he knew who the traitor beside the human prince was.
No one else knew this.
But he had said it!
It seemed the human prince was indeed very alert, even able to discover his hidden agent.
However…
In the end, he was still taken down by the little match boy.
“Good, if you can do this, I will definitely report it, and your name will echo throughout the entire undead kingdom.”
Freg solemnly promised.
“Now is the time for harvest, Your Excellency.” Shen Ye stepped aside, bowing at the side of the door.
“Hmm.”
Freg strode towards the door of the safe house.
At this moment.
Shen Ye still bowed, motionless.
But lines of shimmering text appeared before his eyes:
“You have activated your ‘Door’ ability:”
“Non-dual Gate.”
“This door of the safe house has been designated by you.”
“You can always obtain the ‘Door’ ability that links two worlds.”
“—Waiting for you to bestow ability.”
Freg was getting closer and closer.
Finally—
This legendary undead assassin stepped through the door—
“Activate!”
Shen Ye silently chanted in his heart.
…
Let’s rewind time a bit.
A little earlier.
Main world.
Floating Island.
Mountain wall.
A white-haired elder quietly appeared, carrying the scrawny boy.
“You said—you saw him here last?”
The elder asked gently.
“Sir, yes.” The boy said respectfully.
“Hmm… I’ve already seen his divine idol. It seems he’s nearby. You truly didn’t lie.” The white-haired elder said.
The boy bowed his head, “How dare I deceive you? I’ve long heard of your prestige, you are—”
*Whoosh.*
His body split into two, falling to the ground mixed with blood.
“Weak little fellow, is my name something you can speak?”
The elder still spoke in an amiable tone.
He walked step by step towards the mountain wall.
Unfortunately.
There was nothing here except the wooden idol.
The elder’s expression turned thoughtful.
Strange.
Logically, with the divine idol here, the boy shouldn’t have run far.
Where was the master protecting him in the shadows?
His phone suddenly rang.
The elder picked up the phone and answered the call.
“…I’ve found his divine idol. I’ll get rid of him soon. Young master, please rest assured.”
“Soon, it won’t delay your young master’s banquet.”
“Yes, yes, you can hold the banquet first. I’ll have good news here shortly.”
“It’s no trouble. It’s only right to do things for the young master.”
The call ended.
The elder smiled dotingly.
A sudden change occurred—
A door suddenly appeared on the mountain wall.
The door opened.
A monster radiating dark light appeared.
“Spatial summon—it’s a calamity!”
The elder gasped.
“Human master!” the monster also shouted.
At this moment.
Shen Ye was about to close the door, but when he heard the voice from the other side, he immediately did something.
We say—
On the battlefield, many times, deployment, tactical rehearsals, and extensive planning are required.
But there are always some situations that are beyond expectation.
And these situations always appear at critical moments, often determining the entire course of events.
At this instant.
The moment the undead assassin Freg and the human high priest met—
Shen Ye seemed to understand many things, yet also seemed to think nothing at all.
He merely acted on instinct, performing an action at a speed exceeding thought—
“Kill him!”
He roared loudly.
In a flash, the door ability was canceled, and the link between the two worlds was broken.
Freg’s expression changed, and he raised his dagger.
The space shifted!
The moment he stepped through the door, everything was different!
Kill him…
Who, kill whom?
The undead assassin looked at the white-haired elder.
It was indeed a human trap!
щшш⊙ttκд n⊙¢ ○
Actually, how could humans truly pledge allegiance to the undead?
He would forever take today’s events as a warning!
The white-haired elder also heard the cry of “Kill him.”
Good.
No wonder he could kill fifteen people in one go.
So, the calamity was behind it!
But what if it was a calamity?
Did they think such a calamity could kill him?
The elder opened his narrowed eyes, gritted his teeth tightly, and his entire body radiated a ferocious and murderous aura.
“Laughable dead thing, you are worthy of my serious出手.”
He still spoke in an amiable tone.
As soon as these words were uttered, the soul fire in Freg’s eye sockets blazed.
Dead thing?
How many years had it been since anyone dared to call him that?
Now the whole situation was confirmed.
The humans had actually set a trap using the prince as bait.
What a grand scheme!
Freg’s figure suddenly vanished, dissolving into heavy black mist all around, rotating ceaselessly around the elder.
A dagger emerged from the black mist.
“Good move!”
The elder’s hands were like blades, directly meeting the dagger.
Swaying, majestic light patterns appeared all over his body, materializing into a tiger’s head full of murderous intent.
Law Realm – White Tiger Star!
The dagger, unwilling to be outdone, suddenly shot out withered death energy, materializing into a greatsword.
—The masters of the two worlds began to battle!
On the other side.
Nightmare World, safe house.
Shen Ye quickly rubbed his ring and shouted loudly:
“Ferren, wake up! Don’t sleep! Get out here!”
Ferren’s voice came from the ring:
“I’ve been awake all along.”
“Then why didn’t you say anything or help!” Shen Ye roared.
“I’ve already written my will for the fifth time—who knew you could survive Freg, and then escape with the Prince, and didn’t die when the secret passage collapsed, and then you fooled them again just now.”
Big Skeleton said grumpily.
