HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 97
Gary and his team reached the region where the Preying Mantis lived. The trees were huge and their stems and branches were shooting off in every direction. It was like a man’s imagination was at work. They all felt like they were inside a painting.“These trees must have been nourished well for them to not just grow tall but also branch out in so many directions,” Sesi said. She had a little bit of experience in growing trees, so she knew how ridiculous it would be to try and grow these types of trees by man.“Who cares about the trees?” Rowan did not care about the trees but only the triangle-faced preying mantises that were on these trees. They had round marble-like eyes that were staring down at Gary and his team.They all could vaguely guess the levels of these monsters which was just a little above a hundred.“These will be perfect for warm-up,” Leah unsheathed her sword. “Seeing their numbers, I think I’m going to experience the feeling of cutting down so many bodies again. I di
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 98
Gary walked closer to the preying mantises and looked up at them, but their eyes weren’t set on him at all.It took him a few seconds to realize that they were not just staring at his team but especially at Goya.When she moved, these monsters moved their heads as well.“Goya, did you realize it?” Gary asked.“Yeah,” Goya innocently said. “My ear has a lot of dirt in it. I need to get it out.”“That’s not what I’m talking about,” Gary pointed his finger up. “Look at them. They are being very cautious toward you. It seems they see you as a greater threat than any of us.”“Why would they do that?” Goya wondered. “I did eat mantises, but not ones this big.”“Maybe they just think he’s a predator,” Sesi opined.No, not just that…” Leah quickly opened her map. “Look here. There are diagrams of humanoid beasts living at the center of this forest. They are called demonoids. These mantises probably think you’re a demonoid, Goya.”“I’m not a demon!” Goya hissed. “Why are they comparing me wit
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 99
Gary and his team reached the Fu Falls.“The map says that Chun Fu redirected the river and created this waterfall to support aquatic life forms in this forest, as well,” Leah was reading the notes on the back of the map. Her system helped her translate the text.“Changing the course of the river? That’s pretty crazy…” Sesi said. “If we do something like that in our country, it’ll get us arrested, won’t it?”“It surely will,” Rowan agreed with her, “but your puny little ability won’t be able to change the course of a river, so you have nothing to worry about.”“You talk as if your club swings can change the river’s course,” Sesi retorted. “You won’t even be able to create a crater big enough to fit a pond, much less a lake. So, you have no right to talk about my abilities.”“Why don’t we see who splits this waterfall then?” Rowan challenged.“You want to split this massive waterfall?” Sesi’s heart shook just thinking about it. “That’s at least five hundred meters wide. Can our attacks
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 100
Gary didn’t even respond to Sesi’s words, which sort of made it clear for them that they need to deal with the issue by themselves.“If you want to get the train under the waterfall, then you need to defeat the crocodile yourselves,” Wendevorr said. “That’s what Lord Gary is saying.”“We know what he’s saying,” Sesi blurted. “You don’t need to spell it out for us!”“Oh, I thought you didn’t know because you were going in,” Wendevorr responded.“Shut up. You expect us to just rush in without even planning properly?” Sesi barked at him. “I have flame ability, but it won’t work inside the water.”“Actually, it will work if you infuse it with aura,” Gary said.Sesi was startled to hear that. “R-Really?:”“Of course. You can try that if you want,” Gary stated.Sesi then launched flame bullets from her hair. She cloaked them with aura, so they were able to pierce through the water surface and strike the crocodile, thereby hurting and enraging it.However, the crocodile didn’t come out but i
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 101
Wendevorr was given the task to skin the crocodile and nicely cut its meat and season it. Goya was happily eating raw meat. She didn’t care about training because she didn’t need to worry about aura. As long as she killed some monsters and leveled up, it was fine for her.Leah, Gary, and Sesi were floating on the water stream, thanks to Wendevorr creating floating leaves reinforced with his webs. This helped them stand at a distance from the waterfall and launch their attacks.Leah’s attack was able to travel hundreds of feet and strike the waterfall, but Rowan’s attack didn’t even reach there. Sesi’s attack did reach there, but they didn’t do much damage at all. The tiny holes her flame attacks made were easily being filled up in a fraction of a second.This greatly hurt their egos and humbled them. They maybe around level 300, but in front of the waterfall, they felt very small.Every now and then fish came down the waterfall, and they tried to hit the fish with their attacks, too.
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 102
The vulture was really fast and silent. When he waved his wing and tried to cut through Gary’s neck, he thought he succeeded for sure.However, Gary ducked at the last second and raised his left hand and caught the culture by its foot.The vulture was shocked. He viciously shook its leg, trying to free itself, but Gary smacked its body to the ground to his left and right as if he was washing clothes. While still sitting on the boulder, he utterly destroyed the vulture, making its bones break and bleed from many places.Gary then flipped the heavy bird and caught it by the throat. By now, the vulture looked like it had a foot and half in his grave.“S-Spare me,” the vulture begged. He never thought that he, a level 386 vulture who was known to be the wisest in his group, would lose so helplessly in a battle against a human who looked very young and innocent.“If I spare you, would you help me and my group to get to the elixir at the center?” Gary asked.The vulture was startled. “Y-You

[It’s been eight hours. And they don’t have much progress.] Ai told Gary. [You should go and help them.]“I want to, but I also want to let them figure it out for themselves,” Gary replied while lying down on the boulder and staring at the stars. “The constellations here look very different. The energies in the atmosphere, too. They are vivid yet subtle. My core here has started to change in a matter of hours after coming here. Now, it feels thick yet soft… like the yolk of the egg.”[That’s good for you. Now it can give you more instant bursts of power, and your range of attacks will also have improved.] Ai said. [For example, you can use your energy to shoot just an ant’s antenna, or you can punch and destroy an entire mountain. Depending on what you want to do, your energy core will effortlessly supply you the energy necessary. And you also won’t feel as drained as in the past because the vitality of your core has vastly improved. It will go through even more changes as you cross
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 104
A few minutes earlier.The rat boss and his hundred-odd minions had begun to travel to the southern border of the forest.“Boss, how are we going to fight the opponents?” the weasel demonoid asked. “Do you want me to make a hole through the ground and sneak up from behind them?”“How about we wait until they sleep and then just swarm onto them at once?”“Yeah, then they’ll not be able to put up a fight at all. It will be over before they know it.”As his minions kept giving him lots of options, the rat boss chirped at them and bit on their shoulders, making them squeal and scream.“Don’t tell me what to do, you little shits,” the rat boss chattered his teeth. “It’s useless to plan ahead when there’s such a powerful opponent ahead of us.”“Do you really think that cat is powerful, Boss?” the hawk asked.“Many decades ago, I met one cat demonoid and almost died,” the rat boss explained. “I can never forget the horror I experienced that day. That cat humiliated me and made me do all kin
