HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 22
Gary’s ‘Werewolf Vigor’ was a tireless charging attack, and he clawed at her a hundred times in five seconds. She had to do her best to defend herself, but at the same time, the fact that Gary was using her boyfriend’s attack utterly pissed her off. The boiling anger in her strengthened her. She fought toe-to-toe with Gary.Clausilla used all kinds of moves that a normal human would never be able to see, but Gary didn’t fall for any of her tricks. He was able to see through her feints as well. And that frustrated and angered Clausilla all the more. Nevertheless, she kept reminding him, “What’s the point of clawing at me when you have no way of killing me? On the other hand, all I need to do is get one good attack in, and it’ll be all over for you!”It was a mental game, and she thought Gary would fall for it.But her words did not change Gary’s rhythm at all, He kept using the seemingly incessant ‘Werewolf’s Vigor,’ and eventually managed to push Clausilla back to the throne.Seeing t
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 23
Rowan and Leah were silent as they were preparing to leave Clausilla’s place after recovering.“She’s gotta be at least over level 200,” Leah opined. “That’s the feeling I got.”“That means that guy is also over level 200?” Rowan looked a bit shocked. “I know that he’s strong, but 200 levels in just a few days… it feels surreal.”“Guys, he’s not reached 200 yet,” Sesi told them.“Huh? That doesn’t make sense,” Rowan quickly said. “How can he defeat such a powerful enemy if he’s not at that level?”“Simple. He’s got many skills,” Sesis said. “Of course, we also have a lot of skills, but his skills are much more effective and efficient. And he’s also talented at using them. That’s why he’s our group’s leader.”Rowan looked a little bit surprised. “To be honest, I thought you were the leader because you defeated the werewolf.”Sesi’s shoulders jerked a bit. “Uh, to be honest, I wasn’t the one that killed it. It was Gary’s doing. I’m only at a similar level to you guys.” Her words astonis
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 24
Gary was sitting on the cart, next to Leah. There was a three feet distance between them as they sat on opposite ends of the cart.Sesi and Rowan, however, were pulling the cart like horses and buffaloes would.“Why do we have to do this?” Rowan complained. “This is so humiliating.”“Stop complaining and preserve your stamina,” Gary said. “You need to be exercising like this if you want to improve on your stamina.”“But my stamina is already the top stat I have,” Rowan said.“Why is stamina your top stat?” Sesi looked at him confusedly. “Shouldn’t strength or speed be your first preference?”“Yeah, but I think stamina is good when it comes to fighting multiple opponents or running away,” Rowan said.“So, you are just a scaredy cat,” Sesi snorted.“O-Of course not! I’m just being cautious, that’s all,” Rowan shouted. “And why am I the only one pulling this when Leah was happily sitting?”“Shut up,” Sesi hit his head with her braid. It was a decent hit that turned his cheek red.“Why di
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 25
“The destination is clear, but we have to go to other places to level up,” Gary was muttering under his breath, watching from a rooftop. “This may look like it’s working out, but… what if… this Yves guy comes at us before we get to a higher level?”[That’s a valid question, but… I don’t think he’d move around after building a base.] Ai opined. [He’ll have his subjects bring him what he wants. That guy has a nasty appetite for living beings. He eats everything and absorbs them as nutrients. His vitality is pretty high. Even though he may be the seventh key, defeating him will be more difficult than defeating some other keys. That’s just how annoying his abilities are,]“So that means, can I assume that this humanoid spider also works for him?”[Of course, she’s around level 250 or 260, and she’s built her territory not far from Yves’ base, which shows that she’s also defending Yves’ territory.]“Makes sense,” Gary was looking down at the street from the 23 floor high building. Spider m
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 26
Gary didn’t just want to kill the six giant spiders that were heading toward them, but he wanted to do it in a way that wouldn't alert the zombie spider Venny.Gary jumped off the rooftop hard enough for him to dash through the sky like a meteor. He made enough sound for Leah and others to hear, but it wasn’t loud enough for Venny who was far enough to hear.“The combination of the attributes of the beasts that I killed gave me decent strength and speed,” Gary muttered under his breath. “But I feel like this isn’t enough.” Having fought Clausilla, he knew how much faster than him she was. “I need to be much faster.”Like a projectile, he rose high and then fell toward one of the giant spiders in a straight line. “Minotaur’s Strength!” His arms bulked up twice their normal size.Seeing him, the giant spider shot up a web toward him. The web came like a net, but Gary punched his fist through the web and struck the giant spider’s head, blowing it off to bits and pieces.The web was still
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 27
None of Gary, Leah, Sesi, or Rowan could react. The gas spread in the blink of an eye, and it immediately tried to soothe their nerves, making everyone fall asleep in a second.All four of them collapsed to the ground.“Easy, peasy, spidey, breezy!” The spider with a human head quickly came over to wrap them up in webs. As he was wrapping up Rowan’s body with care, he heard a faint noise and looked back.Gary grabbed Leah’s sword and tried to decapitate the spider in one go. But its neck was so thick that the sword only went an inch inside. “Gwuh!” blood released from the spider’s neck and mouth. “You bastard! How are you still standing?” Two of sharp pointy legs speared toward Gary.He used the werewolf’s vigor skill to suddenly increase his speed so much that he was able to jump on top of one of those fast-moving legs and ended up standing right behind the spider’s human head.Without giving it any chance, Gary punched its skull hard enough to crack and break it in one go. He only d
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 28
There was silence all around Gary, which helped him easily focus inwardly, into his own body and feel the energy that was coursing all through his body with no set place to reside at.“Is this the reason that I’m unable to sleep properly?” Gary wondered. His body felt like it was having a mild fever recently, so he wasn’t having it easy to slip into sleep.[Don’t think about other things.] Ai’s voice softly rang in his mind. [If there’s any danger outside, I’ll warn you, so just focus on yourself right now. Focus on the now. Not the past or the future.]As Ai kept talking, Gary listened to her words.[Every time you defeat a monster, you automatically absorb their energy if I think it’s necessary for you. All the energy you absorbed till now is still in your body right now, and it is still not your own, so you have to first make it yours.][Generally, people absorb this foreign energy into their organs and get physically stronger. And then they’ll move onto forming a core. Because the
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 29
Gary had to splash water in the faces of Leah and others to wake them up. He told them what happened. Not the part where he meditated for hours but the part where he killed the human-headed spider.Rowan was relieved that he was safe.Sesi wished that the spider was still alive so she could have fought that monster.Leah, on the other hand, looked at Gary and said, “Thanks for saving us.”“You don’t have to thank me,” Gary replied, trying his best to not smile. “I only did what any of you three would have done.”“I’m not so sure about that,” Leah said. “People can’t easily be trusted, especially not in these times when everyone’s survival is at stake. So, thank you for not abandoning us.”While getting thanked by her made Gary happy, it also felt strange and weird that she said thank you for what he believed was only a small help that he was obligated to do as the leader of the group.“Gary is the hero who’ll save the world!” Sesi said aloud. “Even if he abandons us, I’m sure he’ll ha
