Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 205
byLooking up at the mountain peak from outside, nothing was visible.
However, within the battlefield on the peak, a dark light formed a barrier, sealing off the surroundings.
No escape.
The Skinner stepped forward, a slight smile on his face:
“Come on, kid, let’s continue the battle we left unfinished.”
He pulled out strands of steel wire from the void with both hands.
Shen Ye looked at him.
—This ogre was brimming with killing intent and in excellent condition.
But for him, now was not a good time to fight.
He had used “Moonlight Divine Illumination” several times in hell, consuming too much mental energy.
Then there was another frantic battle.
Coupled with the full exertion of “Sudden Rain,” his attributes had dropped even further.
Although he eventually absorbed the white trait “Survivor,” it was only 2 points.
Now, his various attributes were only about seven or eight points.
Exhaustion.
The Great Skeleton was also in two pieces.
—How to fight?
At this moment, a faint light appeared, forming words:
“Final Stage: The Wailing Demonic Lord’s Gamble is now activated!”
“Please strive to defeat the Skinner, or your soul will belong to the destroyer of the Great Thousand Worlds, the Wailing Demonic Lord, the Cursed Spirit King, the star that commands all souls to fall.”
“Furthermore, once you escape the current gamble through the ‘door’, the opponent’s curse will immediately take effect.”
“This curse is a large-scale destructive curse that can kill everyone in nearby cities.”
“Battle start!”
The Skinner immediately charged towards Shen Ye.
Shen Ye, without hesitation, drew his longbow and shot out seven or eight curved arrows in succession, “swish, swish, swish.”
“Trying to keep your distance?”
The Skinner sneered, casually flicking his hand in the void.
Dozens of steel wires quickly appeared, sweeping back and forth like afterimages, cutting down the arrows one by one.
Shen Ye raised his chin, pointed at the other party from a distance, and let out an extremely flamboyant shriek:
“Oh ho!~~~”
—Diva skill activated!
The few remaining arrows were struck by the steel wires, suddenly splitting in half, forming two smaller arrows that continued to fly forward.
The Skinner had to stop his charge.
“Hmph, petty tricks.”
He constantly fiddled with his hands in the void, releasing dense steel wires that whistled sharply.
But those arrows went over his head and around his sides, striking directly at his back.
The Skinner could no longer underestimate them.
Clap clap clap clap clap—
Amidst a flurry of sounds, the arrows struck the corpses that had suddenly appeared behind him.
“What kind of archery is that?”
The Skinner asked with a gloomy face.
“Archery that kills people,” Shen Ye said.
His throat was a little hoarse and painful; he couldn’t sing anymore.
It seemed that when dealing with the Qu Ru of hell, releasing his inner ‘fun-seeker’ had overdrawn his kidney capacity—
No, it had overdrawn his Diva powers.
He had to find another way now.
Shen Ye drew his bow and shot continuously.
Seven or eight afterimages flew out from the longbow.
These arrows drew arcs in the sky, twisting left and right, making their trajectory impossible to predict.
For Shen Ye, these arrows weren’t even “Arcs of Light,” consuming very little energy, allowing him to rest a bit longer.
Taking advantage of this, he pulled out a Guiyuan Bushen Pill that Xiao Mengyu had given him last time and chewed it.
The Skinner dodged the arrows, and catching a glimpse, was overjoyed:
“Haha, are you out of stamina? No wonder you only dare to shoot!”
Yun Ni, nearby, shouted:
“He is indeed depleted of energy—go, finish him off in one go!”
Before her words faded, Yun Ni’s brows furrowed.
“Don’t play with him anymore, hurry up, I’ll deal with some minor troubles for you.”
She retreated backward, instantly disappearing from their sight.
In the arena.
Shen Ye, however, pulled out another Guiyuan Bushen Pill and slowly ate it.
The Skinner radiated a massive bloody glow, rapidly performing incantations with both hands, his eyes fixed on Shen Ye.
His master said, “Don’t play with him anymore.”
It seemed he no longer needed to play those torturous little tricks.
Just kill him directly!
—But with a sense of ceremony.
“Shen Ye, your useless power once caused me a minor setback, but now, I have improved my fighting style.”
The Skinner said in an elegant tone, his ten fingers weaving back and forth.
Boom boom boom boom boom—
The earth collapsed, and hundreds of figures emerged from underground, chanting blood demon incantations in unison.
Shen Ye focused his gaze and saw that all these undead were wearing noise-canceling earplugs.
That’s right.
The Skinner thought his ability forced the dead to speak.
—But it wasn’t!
“Whispers of the Dark” was a divine skill of the undead.
His words were the divine skill itself, and with the corpse as the vessel, the soul of the corpse would hear them.
After hearing them in hell, the souls had to climb up and use the corpse to reply.
It had nothing to do with the corpse’s hearing!
“…That’s too awkward, it’s completely useless,” Shen Ye said helplessly.
“Who said it’s useless?” The Skinner smiled mysteriously.
Rumble rumble—
Behind him, a giant blood-colored humanoid puppet quietly appeared.
Boundless, vast power fluctuations emanated from the humanoid puppet, sweeping across the entire mountaintop.
Shen Ye couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Im…impossible…” he murmured.
The Great Skeleton’s voice followed:
“It’s indeed impossible. To summon such a powerful demon with just a few short characters is absolutely impossible. He must have—”
“He must have started casting the summoning spell beforehand!” Shen Ye and it said in unison.
The Skinner laughed hysterically, declaring loudly:
“Before I captured you, I had already sacrificed thousands of souls and made all the deceased buried here chant this blood-summoning spell for half an hour!”
“Shen Ye—you still won’t die?”
In other words, before the gamble started, the opponent had already been chanting and casting for half an hour.
By the time the gamble began, the ultimate move was perfectly completed.
Shen Ye gave the Skinner a deep, meaningful look and said:
“This is too grand. Are you afraid of me?”
“Afraid of you?” The Skinner clutched his hands together and laughed heartily. “No, I’m just hungry and hope to have you on my plate as soon as possible—”
“Go, kill him!”
He commanded.
The massive blood-red humanoid puppet immediately advanced towards Shen Ye.
With every step, the ground trembled.
Shen Ye attempted to shoot an arrow.
The arrow broke directly on the blood-red humanoid puppet.
What to do?
He couldn’t run.
Only fight.
But how to fight with this thing?
His body…
was already extremely exhausted.
But this battle could not be lost, otherwise he would be eaten.
First and foremost—
He had to cut off those incantations!
He took a deep breath and shouted:
“All you deceased, when you watch a game, how do you cheer for the home team?”
“Please use this battle as an example and answer my question above.”
Whispers of the Dark activated!
For a moment.
The chanting of hundreds of deceased stopped.
They all looked toward the battlefield.
In the middle of the field, the blood-colored humanoid puppet was striding towards Shen Ye.
The first undead uttered those two words:
“Defend.”
The deceased began to chant together:
“Defend!”
“Defend!!!”
Their voices grew louder.
Shen Ye gave them a thumbs up, then retreated.
Yes.
The moment the spell was broken, the power of that bloody puppet began to quickly dissipate.
Now was the time to defend!
Shen Ye squinted at the bloody puppet.
It had gathered too much power, before it collapsed—
He had to withstand its continuous attacks!
The blood-red puppet reached out to Shen Ye, pointing a finger from a distance.
Buzz!
Endless fluctuations emanated from the blood-red puppet, seizing Shen Ye.
He couldn’t move!
Shen Ye struggled, knowing that this was the consequence of too great a disparity in strength between them.
—Just like the Great Chieftain’s divine body.
“Die.”
The enormous blood-colored humanoid puppet spat out a word, raising its hand high and smashing down powerfully towards Shen Ye.
Was he just going to watch himself be crushed by this giant hand?
A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Shen Ye’s mind.
Yes… he couldn’t go into the nightmare world, but he could use the nightmare world as a shield!
“Door.”
Shen Ye whispered.
A door appeared before him, opening directly.
The giant fist passed through the door, striking the long underground passage.
Taking advantage of this—
Shen Ye struggled intensely, and actually broke free from those fluctuations!
The power of the blood-red humanoid puppet was constantly weakening…
It had lost the blessings of the many deceased who had been continuously chanting!
Shen Ye suddenly dodged sideways, transforming into seven or eight flowing figures, moving dozens of meters away.
“Watch out!”
“Watch out!”
The deceased all shouted.
A faint light flashed quickly in the wind.
Shen Ye’s figure turned again, looking up to continue dodging.
Something brushed past his eyes.
Just a little bit!
He reached out and touched his cheek.
Blood.
A streak of blood grazed his cheek.
It was a steel wire!
Shen Ye glanced at the Skinner, and said in a deep voice:
“Summoning monsters in advance and sneak attacks—”
“Is that all you’ve got?”
The Skinner, however, manipulated the steel wires in his hands, letting them rub against each other, emitting a sharp screech, and slowly said:
“That’s enough to get your heart, my dear child.”
“Want to eat my heart? No, given your cheating in battle, at most you’ll only get my earwax.” Shen Ye disdainfully stuck out a finger and dug at his ear.
The undead on the side shouted in unison:
“Black whistle!”
“Black whistle!!”
“Black whistle!!!”
The Skinner smiled dismissively, and said with a tone of regret:
“Shen Ye, you had a chance to stand with me and fight against those powerful figures.”
“Why won’t you obey the master’s divine oracle?”
“Are you also going to become like them?”
Shen Ye shook his head, “I don’t have the habit of being a dog for gods.”
The Skinner’s eyelids twitched, and he whispered:
“You and I are both oppressed commoners, and you chose to never taste the exhilaration of having your great revenge satisfied.”
“No, I have tasted it,” Shen Ye said.
“Stop being so self-righteous—you’re going to die here today!”
The Skinner released steel wires that appeared and disappeared, his body spread out like a large bird, flying towards Shen Ye.
In an instant.
The two engaged in battle!
Sharp steel wires suddenly flashed, continuously cutting through the air, emitting dense whistling sounds.
Looking head-on, these intricate steel wires were like a rose with complex petals blooming in the wind.
Shen Ye was enveloped by this rose!
“Turn into shattered corpses in the symphony of the wind—”
“Shen Ye, your death deserves this move!”
The Skinner shrieked ecstatically.
Shen Ye did not shy away, stepping forward, his hands erupting with blue and white lightning, stamping them against the heart of the rose—
Dharmic Realm First Stage – Thunder Shock!
The blinding lightning struck the whistling steel wires, immediately revealing an extremely rare spectacle in the void.
The countless steel wires hidden in the darkness simultaneously burst forth with electric blue light, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.
The steel rose transformed into a flower of lightning, swaying in the wind through the night.
“Ahhh—”
The Skinner, who was manipulating the steel wires with both hands, let out a desperate cry, convulsing all over, his hair standing on end.
Now was the time!
Shen Ye drew his Night Concealment Sword, raising it high—
But it was too late!
“Watch out!”
Amidst the cries of the deceased, the bloody puppet charged forward, its giant fist smashing down with full force.
This time, it had learned its lesson.
Not only did it release a powerful punch, but its entire massive body lunged forward.
The door couldn’t block such a large volume!
—If he killed the Skinner, he would die too!
Shen Ye reluctantly sheathed his sword.
“Hahaha! You can’t kill me!”
The Skinner immediately retreated backward.
He gasped for breath, studying Shen Ye with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
