The Gentleman at the End
Chapter 358 - Chapter 358 Chapter 357 Endgame

Chapter 358: Chapter 357: Endgame Chapter 358: Chapter 357: Endgame In the depths of the Original Tomb,

among the countless bones piled up in the caves, sat an ancient existence, invisible, inaudible, and unsmellable. For within every plane of existence, it had completely died.

The concept of its existence resided in another dimension that was fully consumed by Death,

and with the Sensing of Death, it watched a minor amusement unfolding in the ‘infected world’ across the barriers between worlds.

After all, it had been many years since any amusement had arisen, and He seemed somewhat bored, paying a bit of attention to pass the time, even though time too would perish in His presence.

Meanwhile, He spread this amusement through the form of black mist, allowing all the dead within the Original Tomb to inhale this mist to watch the ‘live broadcast’.

When He saw the rare Black Death Thunder strike down in another world, hitting an Apprentice Knight, this ancient entity even spoke the dead man’s name.

“Fallen Dead Spine – Bart Prada.”

Being named by the First Dead Man was an immense honor for any life from the Original Tomb.

It also meant that Bart only needed to break through the current predicament and slay these humans to immediately return to the Old World and ascend as a formal Knight in the Original Tomb.

The next second,

The room of the First Dead Man began to stir with escalating black mist twirling a mass of skulls, forming a makeshift giant’s body around the formless existence.

Only because He observed another unrelated human displaying a peculiar state of death,

The other residents of the Original Tomb watching the live broadcast also saw this makeup of the dead and noticed the Death that was starkly different from theirs.

The makeshift giant’s body that the First Dead Man had constructed, took a seat on a throne supported by countless dead, closely Observing the ‘Dead Man Makeup’ displayed by this human youth.

Phrases in an ancient language drifted out with the mist from His mouth,

“A form of death not native to this world, from another world unknown to me? And this Death is even liquid, perhaps from a sea! Hahaha… How interesting indeed!”

Joy and excitement, common emotions for humans,

the First Dead Man, however, hadn’t tasted them in a long while, and He laughed through the temporarily constructed skeleton.

Causing every skull in the Original Tomb to grin, creating laughter through the clash of teeth and bones.

For a moment, this rather interesting live broadcast became incredibly entertaining.

To ensure the normal progression of this live duel without any disturbances,

the First Dead Man even spared no expense of His own ‘Pathogen’, exhaling a pure Aura of Death from His body, forcibly transmitting it to that other world through the black mist.

In response,

A black curtain descended at the scene, enveloping the entire hill within, preventing any outside interference until the outcome within was decided.

[Zion City]

Whether it was Principal Desline, the sealed Yuri, or Marko and Martin, all the Prophets rushed to the highest point at once, gazing at the Death black curtain several kilometers away.

Principal Desline was also the quickest to calculate who was involved in the sudden event.

Disregarding potential dangers, she directly left the city in her capacity as principal, taking most of the professors, including the restricted Zede.

Not only that,

Upon hearing that William and Jin were involved, Yuri also led a group of Executioners from Cesimani,

along with a group of Mysterious scientists, some of whom even carried some unknown large-scale equipment to the scene.

Over the distant seas,

Sleeping in the ship’s cabin on the lady Doctor’s lap, Moon Trace Lorrian woke from a dream and immediately went to the surface of the Moon, attempting to peer into his place of birth – [Twilight Clinic].

However, his vision was completely blocked by a layer of black mist, and delving deeper even risked Death backlash.

“William, did you actually manage to provoke the troublesome dead of the Old World? Completely unreachable, not even a trace of Moonlight can penetrate… You really know how to cause trouble, if your body gets damaged, that’d really be a problem.”

…

Although the curtain created by the First Dead Man had a huge impact outside, attracting a lot of attention,

the people within the curtain paid no heed to it,

not even noticing this change,

for they had dedicated all their focus to their opponents, and any distraction at this moment was deadly.

Jin plunged all of the remaining red syringes into his back,

Whoosh! A pair of Blood Wings unfurled like a Red Lotus, further enhancing his body’s mobility.

However,

Knight Bart paid no attention to Jin,

under the black wolf mask, the dead man’s nostrils were sniffing, drawing in a whiff of Death Aura he had never appreciated before.

Bart had dealt with most of the dead in the Original Tomb and had seen hundreds of different types of Death Attributes and their applications,

but the Death he smelled now was completely different,

much like a world traveler who thought he had tasted all cuisines,

But this time he came to a special restaurant nestled between alleys, where what was served on the table was actually a pile of pixelated square-shaped objects. Although also ‘food’, it was fundamentally different from the food he knew.

The group of mosaic squares looked strange, but the smell they emitted was extremely delicious.

[Attraction Among Like Entities]

Barte clad in Black Thunder armor, charged towards Yi Chen, who had the appearance of the Dead Man Makeup, like a rabid wolf,

faster and more ferocious than before, even embodying lightning itself, quick and deadly.

Just as he was about to reach Yi Chen,

from the edge of the pit, a slightly chubby finger with fleshy tips made a “pointing downward” gesture,

Buzz!

An unimaginably strong pressure suddenly descended,

though it was spiritual power, its specific form could faintly be seen–a “layer upon layer of evenly spaced hexagonal force fields”.

It directly weighed down on top of Knight Barte’s head, interrupting his forward charge.

The ground beside him collapsed, shattered, and sank due to such spiritual crushing!

The one delivering this blow was Reagan, standing atop the mountain,

currently in a state of [Restriction Removal], his entire electric spine exposed, his gentleman’s clothes transformed into an attire resembling that of an electrical researcher, with rings adorning his wrists and fingers.

However,

Barte was not overwhelmed, slowly propping himself up from a kneeling position, raising his head!

A black light orb wrapped in Thunder Light was accumulating at the mouth of his black wolf mask, releasing completely at this moment…Buzz!

The spiritually formed force field shattered like glass.

The spewed-out energy pillar, also wrapped in Thunder Light, locked onto Reagan above!

As the death energy-filled light pillar was about to penetrate and blast away Reagan’s physical body,

a pale arm wrapped with cables swung fiercely, slapping the incoming beam of death, bending it sharply. It grazed Reagan’s cheek, slicing through the clouds in the sky before slowly dissipating.

The woman’s palm was ruined by this, but quickly grew a lot of cables within a short amount of time, reweaving itself back together.

[Between the Pits]

Yi Chen and Jin seized the opportunity in front of them, attacking together.

It was Yi Chen’s first time engaging in close combat in this forfeiting [Physique] robes, his four external eyeballs re-embedded into his arms, attacking through palms, elbows, and locking techniques.

Perfectly coordinating with Jin, sparing no cost to keep Knight Barte pinned down below.

Reagan, standing above, spared no expense, including bodily fats and proteins, to send spiritual power at the highest frequency, continuously suppressing the dead.

However… half an hour passed.

Accompanied by intense Black Thunder flashes and the roar of an ancient beast.

Jin’s body was split in two, one half rolling off the edge while the other half was obliterated by Black Thunder, leaving no remains.

Reagan, due to the excessive transfer of spiritual power and supported by Faye, gasped for breath continuously, even bleeding cerebral fluid from his nostrils, his body reduced to nothing but skin and bones.

With 80% of his armor shattered and his epidemic value nearly depleted, Knight Barte still maintained a standing posture, standing in front of Yi Chen, whose legs had been cut off and could no longer move.

The two split hand axes had remerged into a knight’s battle axe,

and at this moment, he transformed into the executioner among the dead,

the ancient language of a wild beast came from under his black wolf mask, “I… Apprentice Knight, Bart Prada, am executing you!”

The black gleam slashed, and lightning flashed!

Yi Chen’s head was sent flying high into the air, his headless and legless body heavily collapsed.

The execution was effective,

the executed Yi Chen’s head and body were obliterated in moments, leaving nothing behind.

“Ah~ it’s finally over!”

Barte, relieved after completing the execution, slowly suppressed the bestiality inside and took off his helmet, revealing a black face.

With the most troublesome enemy dead, the remaining cleanup could be dealt with slowly.

Rationality returned,

Barte, with heavy steps, walked towards Jin who was left with only half a body… Tick!

A strange dripping sound echoed in his mind, seemingly from the black liquid tainted during the execution that had seeped into his body,

followed by a whisper that went straight to his brain,

“Did rationality return at last, Mr. Bart? I have waited far too long for this moment.

The execution just now was perilous, yet it couldn’t completely erase me, it seems my [Death] surpasses you~ you’re indeed strong, do you want to pursue the truth of the world with me?”
