Chapter 180: Chapter 178: The Evil Creature Guarding the Gate

It’s already 1 a.m.?

Yang Qizhou yawned. Even though becoming a Wizard of ’Star Spirit’ rank allowed him to go days without sleep, his body had grown accustomed to a regular schedule. Now, at this hour, fatigue inevitably crept in.

After some calculations,

today ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ had already been used four times. Once to provoke the ’Sky Blue Spear’ with [Circle of Friendliness] and [Holy Redemption], resulting in a counterkill. Another time during his conversation with the ’Tree Ancient God.’ The third usage occurred when he was captured by the ’Mother Tree,’ and the fourth, upon entering the ’Guardian King City.’

"One save-and-load opportunity remains."

"Let’s push forward and see. If I can obtain the deactivation materials for the ’Hidden God’s Clothes’ directly, that would be ideal. If I have to use up the chance, then I’ll continue tomorrow."

Logically speaking, this last save-and-load chance should be reserved for near midnight tomorrow to maximize real-world time, in case any unforeseen circumstances arise that would necessitate reverting to an earlier checkpoint.

But the storyline had reached a critical juncture,

the Game Character was about to head to the World Gate to investigate the disappearance of the ’Wisdom God,’ as well as delve into the Polluted Mountain and Sea behind the Gate, searching for the lost ’Hidden King Wizard Tower.’

Stopping now? Not an option for Yang Qizhou.

The game continues.

...

...

"You and Kandar head towards the World Gate."

"On the way, ’Kandar,’ using unknown means, managed to prevent the horrifying spear burning with corrupted fire, which originated from within Gate City, from appearing again."

"You both cautiously approached,"

"During this time, you asked ’Kandar’ about the World Gate, surprised that such a colossal city existed within the Phase Boundary."

"Unexpectedly, ’Kandar’s’ expression dimmed, sorrow clouding his eyes as he revealed the truth behind the matter."

"Long ago, before Wisdom’s Edge was corrupted by the evil forces of dirt and uncleanness from the Polluted Mountain and Sea, ’Gate City’ was under the rule of the ’Wisdom God’ and served as part of the ’Guardian King City,’ entrusted with guarding the World Gate."

"During that era, only those chosen to enter ’Gate City’ and confront the Polluted Mountain and Sea’s evil forces—preventing their seepage into the layers of the real world—were worthy of being called Gatekeepers."

"You speculated aloud, ’Is the current state of Gate City tied to the Polluted Mountain and Sea?’"

"Kandar didn’t deny it. After all, it was an undeniable truth that Wisdom’s Edge was polluted, Gate City flowed with dirt and uncleanness, and the ’Wisdom God’ had visited ’Gate City’ in an attempt to resolve the corruption."

"From what we see now, the likeliest explanation seems to be that the World Gate shattered, and the evil forces of the Polluted Mountain and Sea contaminated the land."

"You arrived at a corner of Gate City."

"Nearby lurked creatures that resembled ogres, five meters tall, formed from corrupted sludge. You remained in the ’Hidden’ state unnoticed."

"Unfortunately, they noticed ’Kandar.’"

"The creatures raised their Wolf Fang Clubs, letting out terrifying, vicious roars as they charged toward ’Kandar.’"

"Kandar, unfazed by the attack, displayed the power of the ’Wisdom God’s’ apostle, possessing ’Angel God’ combat prowess. Calmly, he pulled out a staff and a ruby, chanting arcane words. Mysterious symbols surfaced on his ancient skin as he invoked forces of nature, swiftly eliminating the creature."

"You clapped enthusiastically, playing the role of cheerleader and shouting ’666.’"

"You searched the corpse and quickly found 781 Old Sacrifices."

Reading the prompt onscreen, Yang Qizhou’s eyes widened in surprise.

What an unexpected twist.

Does this mean Kandar can keep farming monsters while the Game Character cheers and loots their corpses—a classic scenario of hitching a ride on a pro player?

Don’t stop now; keep going!

"Since ’Kandar’ killed the monster, you felt bad about pocketing all the Old Sacrifices. You split them half and half, handing over a portion to your free bodyguard."

"Kandar found this arrangement reasonable and accepted the share without hesitation."

"You lost 390 Old Sacrifices."

Yang Qizhou thought the Game Character’s approach was wise.

If the Game Character were to hoard all the Old Sacrifices repeatedly, it would certainly provoke strong dissatisfaction from ’Kandar.’

Since these spoils were obtained without effort, sharing half with the helper still earned a solid profit.

The game continues.

"You pressed on toward Gate City."

"Along the way, you encountered four to five waves of wandering monsters. These included sludge-shaped ogres, blood-soaked, spectral dwarves, and undead capable of casting corrupted spells."

"’Kandar,’ thanks to his seasoned combat experience, seamlessly wielded mysterious forces, quickly dispatching each group of enemies."

"You stayed back, cheering enthusiastically and looting corpses."

"You accumulated 2970 Old Sacrifices."

"Following standard practice, you split them in half with ’Kandar,’ losing 1485 Old Sacrifices."

"The profits were reasonable. The shared loot motivated ’Kandar’ even more; he seemed bloodthirsty, eager to hunt down more enemies."

"You quickly stopped him, reminding him of the dangers of Gate City’s proximity to the Polluted Mountain and Sea. If their activities were too disruptive, they might draw out terrifying entities, which would spell disaster."

"Listening to your explanation, ’Kandar’ calmed down slightly."

"Soon you reached the entrance to Gate City."

"Here, before you loomed a twisted, ephemeral, abstract structure—a colossal gate reminiscent of watercolor paintings. Standing guard was a two-meter-tall figure riddled with over ten swords piercing its body, leaking cold, polluted, malevolent energies that radiated an aura of death."

"This must be the gatekeeping BOSS, right?"

"You remained composed, casually glancing at Kandar, confident that with a free bodyguard who had ’Angel God’ combat prowess, taking down this BOSS would be a breeze."

"But your confidence faded as ’Kandar’ spoke gravely."

"This entity is troublesome."

Yang Qizhou couldn’t help but feel speechless.

Wow. He’d believed earlier that ’Kandar,’ this power-packed ally, could easily crush the gatekeeping sub-BOSS. Suddenly, now he’s warning the Game Character of the danger?

A face-slapping moment arrived faster than anticipated—utterly unprepared.

The game continues.

"Even ’Kandar’ admitted this opponent would be challenging. This caught you off guard."

"It seems this creature also possesses ’Angel God’ combat prowess."

"You shed all traces of underestimation."

"Just then, the mysterious entity guarding Gate City’s entrance sensed your presence, awakening from its slumber."

"You watched as a sickly yellow wave of corrupted, uncleanness-filled energy expanded outward from the unknown entity’s core, blanketing the area like an oppressive storm, smothering everything with an immeasurable force—a suppression stemming from its rank."

"Then, the creature opened its eyes; blood-red light spilled forth, seemingly dyeing the world in crimson hues. It drew a sword from its body—each inch unsheathed amplifying its ominous aura. By the time the sword was fully exposed, it looked as though a vengeful spirit bathed in Evil Fire, risen from hell to exact retribution on the mortal plane."

"You, however, stayed calm, unaffected."

"Although this mysterious creature’s power level was high, it was no ’god.’ It could wield authority over powers, but not symbolic traits. The oppression on you felt less overwhelming than expected."

"Next, the unknown entity roared..."

"Those who approach the Gate shall die."

"Then it swung its sword toward you and Kandar."

"In an instant, corrupted forces pierced the Sky Dome, manifesting as a fearsome sword column while unleashing unimaginable power."

"You knew you couldn’t withstand this blow, not even the fallout. You had already prepared to use another [Destiny Fire Bottle]."

"Before you could act, ’Kandar’ stepped forward, raising his hand and chanting mysterious spell verses. A translucent wall appeared, swallowing the devastating sword column and redirecting the damage to lands ten kilometers away."

"Suddenly, the heavens trembled, the earth tore apart. Even at such a great distance, you could feel the sheer destruction’s magnitude."

"You realized that even with the damage transferred ten kilometers away, had the strike landed directly, not just yourself, but even ’Kandar’ might have been obliterated."

"’Kandar,’ visibly distressed, urgently told you... ’Wizard, hide yourself. This entity is far too frightening; I may not be able to keep you safe.’"

"Without waiting for ’Kandar’s’ warning, you were already on it."

"Activating the ’Hidden God’s Clothes,’ you entered the ’Hidden’ state."

"At this moment, ’Kandar’ and the mysterious creature clashed vehemently. Forces raged on the battlefield, mysteries unraveling, concepts clashing, as both combatants fought over authority, symbols, and essence."

"This time, you refused to play second fiddle as a cheerleading passerby. As a noble Wizard and inheritor of the great ’Lord of Blasphemy,’ how could you sit idle during such a pivotal moment?"

"You retrieved a pendant inlaid with gemstones, glowing crimson..."

"It was none other than the legendary artifact obtained from the ’Guardian King City.’"

"The ’Heart Dream Source.’"
