HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 74
Rose Witch’s hands were like serrated knives with sharp edges like the thorns on rose branches.Her attacks had an advantage in that they managed to better pierce through Gary’s defenses better than even a regular knife or sword could.So she was able to dig her way through Gary’s aura defense and strike his body, causing him to bleed from his arms.And she laughed maniacally as his blood sprayed into the air.However, Gary’s expression didn’t change one bit. He was already feeling tremendous pain in the heart because he was in the middle of fusing it, so he felt numb to pain anywhere else in the body, and it proved to be a blessing disguise now.He was able to bear the pain and counterattack Rose Witch.However, his fists couldn’t reach her because she was flying so fast he only managed to hit her afterimages. This frustrated him, but he kept on attacking nonetheless as he was not in a position to drag this battle. He had to finish this as fast as possible.Rose Witch was still grinn
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 75
Though Rose Witch was glaring at Gary, a lot of thoughts were running through her mind. (He used aura, and he has the healing skill of a vampire, and now he’s used lightning ability. Just how many abilities does he have? He’s not ordinary. He’s dangerous. He’s probably not far from my level. I have to beat him now. If I can’t, then I should at least deliver the message to my mom so she’ll come and deal with him.)A rose bloomed on her head and sent sound waves into the distance.“Are you sending signals to your mother?” Gary asked.“So you were able to see it,” she wasn’t too surprised. “I guess you do have the ability to use aura.” (I’ve killed people using aura before. Not all of them are dangerous, but this guy gives a very dangerous vibe. My instincts are telling me that I need to destroy him even if it means I need to sacrifice myself.)“Your plans will not go as you want,” Gary said.“What do you mean? I’ve already sent the message,” she replied. “No one can stop it. In a minute
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 76
Goya was the first to reach where Rowan was.Rowan was still conscious, but his whole body was in a mess. More than outer injuries, his body suffered internal injuries because of Rose Witch’s sonic attack.Rowan was slowly healing thanks to his Jackal’s Recovery skill.“Who did you fight for you to lose like this?” Goya asked him, almost laughing at him in pity.“If you came here just to laugh at me, then get the fuck out of my sight,” Rowan growled, “before I grab you by your ears and break all your teeth.”“You can’t do that now, though,” she covered her mouth with her paw and giggled some more.Rowan wished he could get up right now so he could smash the smugness off of her face. “Mm?” Just then, he noticed something. “Wait, were your eyes always yellow?”“Ah, no,” she said, blinking a few times. “I leveled up and crossed level 100. My sight vastly improved now. I can even see the lines on the leaves of the trees that are hundreds of meters away from me. This is a very handy skill.
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 77
A few minutes later.Sesi was the first to arrive at the center where Gary and others were. Before she even got to them, she was laughing. “Hahaha.”Rowan could already understand the meaning behind her laughter, and it disturbed him from his meditation. “Dammit. Did she already reach level 200?”“200? I’m at level 202 now,” Sesi said, snickering. “I wonder what your level is at. Is it 165 or 170? Or is it still at 160? And wait, what happened to your ear? Did a crow bite it off?”“Krgh, if I wasn’t injured, I would have also reached level 200,” Rowan barked.“Hmph, loser’s excuse,” Sesi snorted.“It’s not an excuse. The sentinel came after me. If I wasn’t injured by her,” he pointed at Rose Witch’s head, “I would have hunted more ants.”Sesi looked at Rose Witch and blinked twice. “I-Is that a sentinel? Why is she still alive?”“Boss Gary told us to keep her alive,” Goya said. She was still sitting on top of Rose Witch’s head.“Alive? Why?”“You should ask him.”Sesi looked at Gary w
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 78
An ant came running out of the bush. It was a level 173 ant commander.“I’m here!” Rose Witch shouted. “Save me!”Goya stood up in a hurry. She was about to fight, but then a flying slash came out of nowhere and cut the ant commander’s body in two halves.Goya focused her gaze, and in the distance, she saw a spider web joining two big trees. Leah was standing on top of the spider web, with her sword unsheathed. “She managed to kill that ant from more than half a mile away? That’s cool.”Rose Witch, on the other hand, couldn’t believe that the ant commander was killed so helplessly. “W-Who killed my commander? Which bastard did it?”“Hehe, it is one of our team members,” Goya told her. “They are going to come here soon. So, you can take a look at them yourselves.”“Exactly how many members are there in your team?” Rose Witch asked.“Six less than six million,” Goya said.“W-What?” Rose Witch looked petrified. “Six million people? T-That’s impossible. That many humans can’t possibly sti
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 79
The fourth echelon of aura was energy integration, where the energy core would fuse its energy with every part of the body, enhancing an individual’s physique and taking them to the next level.However, the fifth echelon was a different ball-game altogether.The fifth echelon of aura was energy transformation, where the entire core itself would be transformed into becoming a creator of natural energy.The difference between the fourth and fifth level was like the difference between a river and an ocean.Gary’s level was yet to pass even 300, but he was already trying to attain something that would only be possible after one’s level rose to at least 500.According to Ai, the chances of Gary succeeding were one percent.Many minutes passed, and it didn’t seem like there was any progress. The energy core was supposed to transform, but nothing was happening.And then faint sparks of lightning began to come out of the energy core, which greatly stunned Ai.[This guy…] Ai looked very much s
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 80
A few minutes earlier.The queen of ants, Endeva, was currently on the white sand beaches of El Nido, drinking a lot of wine and then diving in the underwater cavern, competing with her fellow antsmen. However, nobody dared to overtake her as they knew very well that they’d be dead before they even reached the end line.After winning the diving race, Endeva took the trophy: a bunch of human heads served on a platter. And she munched on them as if they were fruits. She looked like a humanoid, but she had rows of sharp teeth inside, and she was able to crush bones with ease and grind them into powder without much effort at all. She had only two eyes that looked completely black. And she had four antennas on her head and smaller antennas on her ears and on the back of her neck. With these antennas, she was able to obtain information from far away. She could also send information without even talking.This was the fearsome strength of Ant Queen Endeva. Boasting a level of over 720, she wa
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 81
Sesi, Rowan, and Leah were utterly stunned by what they were seeing. The trees were all turning back into humans.And they seemed to have lost some of their memories, but they also seemed to still remember almost everything that happened since they had turned into trees, as if they could still see what was happening around them.Most of them didn’t even know why they turned back, but those around Gary’s ground somehow knew that he had something to do with this change. And they wanted to thank him, but Gary’s body was now leaking not just electricity, but the winds around him were swirling and collided with the lightning, creating flames. The earth under him was rippling, with water rising out of it like fountains.“All the five elements of nature…” Sesi’s eyes glowed. She could feel her own aura vibrating and reacting to the changes in nature. It wasn’t oppressive but rather pleasant now. “Is this the sixth echelon where the mind helps transform the energy core and thus the body into

“I asked for grape juice!” Sesi barked. “But what the hell is this?”“It is grape juice,” the innkeeper looked offended. “It’s fresh. If you drink it, you’ll know.”“You want me to DRINK THIS?” Sesi’s eyes turned red. Rowan grabbed her hand because he felt like she might slap the innkeeper out of anger. “Can a human even drink this? No, even monkeys won’t go near this shit!”Sesi’s words offended not just the innkeeper but also the other customers who loved the grape juice. After all, those grapes were harvested from the grape trees growing in the same village, the Newmere village. So, their pride was hurt when Sesi mocked the grape juice.“Sesi,” Leah intervened. “There’s no need to cause a scene if you didn’t like the drink.”“Leah, just look at this!” she pointed at the mug. “The grape skin and seeds are floating in the drink! How am I supposed to drink it? Uwwgh, I feel like vomiting just thinking about it!”“Maybe, they don’t add grapeskin and seeds in the drink, but we leave the
CHAPTER 144
The adult customers were in awe and disbelief, whereas the children were giggling and smirking from seeing Prince Liu personally serving drinks to a foreign group of four.From Liu, they came to know that the trees in the village weren’t giant a few decades back, but ever since cultivators began to bury the bodies of some beasts around the village, the trees absorbed the nutrients and grew in size and produced food all year, which improved the livelihood of the villagers very much.“You’re only twenty two years old?” Rowan’s eyes bulged in shock. “What the heck, man? You look like you’re forty years old!”Liu angrily smiled. “Yeah, some people say that to me, but all the girls in this village would die to marry me. It’s just that I haven’t found the right woman for me yet.” His eyes fell on Sesi.“Don’t even think about it,” Sesi retorted coldly. “You’re not at all my type. Too macho for me to even feel anything.”Liu then looked at Leah, but she was just fully immersed in talking wit
CHAPTER 143
If reality blended seamlessly with dreams, then it would look like what Gary and everyone else was staring at right now.The towering mountains and crystalline rivers aside, there were young children riding on big foxes and were plucking fruits off the trees. There were beautiful young ladies riding butterflies that flitted from flower to flower and helped the ladies collect honey in leather sacs.The small village that Gary and his friends had first been to was full of giant trees and animals, but the humans were of normal size.The village guards escorted them to the inn and said, “Don’t cause any trouble, or you’ll regret it.”Goya found their words offensive. “Should I just beat him up and show him his place?”“Don’t cause unnecessary trouble,” Wendevorr told her. “Did you already forget what Lord Gary told us? We’re not supposed to fight anyone unless it gets life-threatening.”Goya seemed disappointed. “But that’s boring.”After killing so many monsters, Goya was still in the sl
CHAPTER 142
By the time Gary and his team left the woods, having absorbed the crystal cores and boosting their stats and abilities, they felt more confident than ever.Goya was sitting cross-legged on top of Wendevorr’s head. She was at level 698, and he was at level 699.Rowan increased by ten levels and reached 612.Sesi increased to level 630.Leah went from level 700 to 703.Gary’s level was exactly 800 after defeating the mighty wolf Wynn. He felt much stronger than your average level 800 being would, but he still felt like his current strength was nowhere near enough to deal with all the seven keys, much less their boss, the Immortal King.Leah and Sesi were discussing a lot ever since Leah regained her memories. Sesi wanted to know their love story, so Leah kept telling her everything. Some of the details were a bit too embarrassing, so Gary kept his distance from the ladies.Rowan was leading the group in the front. “I’m still the lowest-leveled in the group, dammit. I know I should be ha
CHAPTER 141
Wynn and Gary’s team parted goodbyes, but Gary and others didn’t leave the forest just yet because Wynn had asked them to kill the remaining demonoids as a favor.Because they had all used the fountain of life, they couldn’t reject his request. However, neither Gary nor Leah had to act for this mission.Sesi, Rowan, Goya, and Wendevorr took the task upon themselves and competed to see who’d find and kill the most number of demonoids. Goya and Wendevorr believed that they had an edge over the humans because of their superior sense stats.Goya went back to the Demon Range to sniff out the remaining demonoids and kill them. Wynn had told them a way to get past the curse that they’d obtain after absorbing the crystal cores. It was to wash these cores in the blood of another animal, and so that blood would take the curse away.Knowing this, everyone felt very excited to get the crystal cores and gain various abilities from that, though crystals that had been cleansed by blood would also be
CHAPTER 140
Gary was talking with Wynn, the great wolf, which seemed to have calmed down now. “I was planning on returning to earth, but after hearing your words, I think we’ll need to stay here a little longer.”“If the opponent is someone who can kill Master Chun Fu, then your current strength is not sufficient,” Wynn said.Though it was a bit rude of Wynn to say that, Gary didn’t disagree with that. “I have to awaken my spiritual energy, too, before I return to earth. So, Leah and I will both be able to use spiritual energy in our group. Together, we can keep hunting those seven keys. And the rest of my group members will take down their minions. I think they’re strong enough to fend for themselves now.”“If you want to awaken the spiritual energy ahead of time,” Wynn said. “Then there’s a place where you can attain that.”“Oh… where is it?” Gary quickly asked.“The Absurd Woods…” Wynn said.“Absurd Woods?” Gary raised an eyebrow. “That’s the name?”“Yeah. It’s full of crazy creatures that har
CHAPTER 139
As Gary approached the fountain, he saw Leah rising up as though the waters were lifting her up. A radiant glow came out of her body. It was warm and beautiful.“What’s going on?” Gary asked.[She’s been cured of the curse, and on top of that she’s awakened the spiritual energy.] Ai said.“A-Awakened?” Gary was startled. “Didn’t you say it’ll take at least level 900 for one to even think about awakening their spiritual energy?”[Yes, but her spirit has been contained by the negative energy of the Dark Witch.] Ai explained. [In order to forcefully release those restraints, the fountain of life had to awaken her spirit.]“So, it’s a byproduct of removing the curse put on her…” Gary’s eyes slowly widened. “Does that mean she gets her memories back?” He quickly scuttled toward the fountain with his heart swelling from hope.Leah was still floating above the fountain, and her eyes slowly opened. She could see everyone around her. Sesi, Rowan, Goya, Wendevorr, even the great wolf in the dis
CHAPTER 138
The great wolf coughed up a lot of blood into the air as his gaze turned blurry. He somersaulted through the air and managed to land on his feet.However, the pain in his diaphragm kept escalating, and it made him bleed some more. He was forced to get down on one knee.Gary was walking toward him confidently, and the great wolf wanted to get up, but the pain in his gut didn’t let him get up just yet.“You lost…” Gary uttered.“Not yet,” the great wolf growled, but that shouting made him cringe in pain.[Say these words to him…] Ai told Gary.Gary then said while looking at the great wolf who was still on one of his knees, “Even though I won’t be around you physically, my love will always be with you, Wynn.”The great wolf’s expression froze. Slowly but surely, tears began to swell in the great wolf’s eyes as he remembered Chun Fu saying those words when he was parting with him. And nobody knew his name except for his master, so this made it clear that Gary was indeed Chun Fu’s success
CHAPTER 137
Many years ago.Chun Fu was teaching the great wolf. “There will come a time when you will need to fight beings that can’t be defeated with punches or slashes. That’s when you need to rely on things like spiritual energy or unique skills. Animals don’t have much spiritual energy, so you should depend on learning unique skills.”“What kind of skills, Master?” the great wolf excitedly asked, waving his tail left and right.“One that will help you fight all kinds of enemies,” Chun Fu said. “The ability to break space itself.”“Breaking space…” the great wolf’s eyes turned wide. “Is something like that even possible?”“Time, space, and matter are three constructs that the worlds are built upon by the Creator,” Chun Fu explained. “All those three constructs can be affected by us. We can break physical matter with our hands because we can interact with it. But space and matter needs different approaches. Skills that will require one to manipulate time are too complex for you to learn. Even
