CHAPTER 561
Gabe and Rudi were both put in the same cage atop the same white bear, though it was a new cage.Gabe was covered in bad bruises and his own blood. His bones were broken at many places because he had fought Gregg once more.Horgror intervened and gave Gabe the fist treatment.As a result, Gabe was barely conscious.Rudi was grinding her teeth, trying to break free from the chains. “You guys are so shameless! How can you do this to us! God will not forgive you!”“What was God doing when the prince broke your ankles?” Andal asked. “Was he busy farting in his bathroom? Was he sleeping when your grandmother was being beaten?”Miguel was also there, but he was not conscious.Horgror picked him up and said, “I’m leaving. You can take care of this from here on, can’t you?”“Yeah, leave it to me,” Andal told him.As Horgror took Miguel away, Synatra still looked conflicted.“The sooner you forget about him, the better it is for you, Sister,” Andal told her. “You are going to marry someone ver
CHAPTER 562
Soreness gripped every muscle in the body.Sharp pain stung at numerous spots, too many to count.Gabe was too tired to move, but his body was shaking as the big white bear walked without a care in the world.His body hurt all the more thanks to the free ride to the capital on the back of a bear.Gabe tried to lift his head.Rudi looked at him. “You’re still breathing? You’re a tough guy. I thought you died.”Gabe lifted his head with effort. The muscles in the back of his neck and the trapezius muscle hurt quite a bit. “Where are we?” Just speaking a few words was proving difficult. Blood was pooling in his mouth, slurring his speech and hindering his breath.“110th realm. We’ll soon reach the capital. This will be it for us. We won’t be able to escape from there.”“Don’t give up,” Gabe said.Rudi glanced at him. “Why were you with my grandma? Did she hire you?”“Something like that.”Rudi went silent. She kept staring at him. (The injuries he had must have killed most people, but he
CHAPTER 563
The capital city of Elderwood was called the Star City not because it was the closest to the stars in the sky but because the city itself was bright as a star in the sky.“I had a feeling that the description of the capital city being as bright as a star was an exaggeration,” Rudi was looking in every direction. “And I was correct. The writers always tend to blow things out of proportion.”The streets of the city were certainly bright with flowers glowing, and even the water streams reflecting light and dazzled as a result.“It’s definitely not brighter than a star,” Rudi uttered, “but it’s definitely far more beautiful than they described!”“You weren’t brought here for sightseeing,” the vice-guard captain coldly glared at her. He was carrying the bodies of Red and Blue Ogres on the horses behind him, so he attracted a lot of attention from the crowd.They were all shocked to see the corpses of Red and Blue Ogres and wondered how they died and what happened to the prince because they
CHAPTER 564
“So you went from door to door and delivered goods,” Rudi looked at Gabe, almost smiling. “And that’s a job? You get paid for it?”“Yeah, there are all kinds of jobs. It may seem funny to you, but I was able to survive and also keep my mom alive because I let go of my ego and did every job I could,” Gabe told her. “No one else was there to feed me, so I was busy finding ways to earn. I did many part-time jobs for years, but eventually, I settled with being a delivery guy. It requires both skill and hardwork, but it has less hassle if you know what you’re doing.”“If going from door to door and delivering goods helped you in your difficult phase, then that’s good,” Rudi opined. “Anyway, how are we going to survive the coming disaster?”“I already told you,” Gabe replied calmly.“Yeah, you said you’d destroy Elderwood, but that sounds unbelievable.”“Let’s hope I have enough time and luck to pull it off,” Gabe said.They just arrived at the royal castle.The castle was built out of wood
CHAPTER 565
Rudi lunged forth and swiped her claw-like hand at Gabe.He spun around just enough so that her hand ended up removing the plaster on his mouth.“Hold on, Rudi,” Gabe shouted.She stopped.Gabe turned toward the king. He slightly bowed his head. “Your Majesty, if you give me a chance, I will bring the prince back for sure so that he can prove to you that the Swanmere family conspired with the Underworld to remove you from the throne.”His words utterly silenced everyone.“How dare you utter nonsense!” Andal’s father roared. “Guards! Skewer that man to death right now!”Two of the royal guards unsheathed their swords.Luisfel raised his hand, stopping the guards right away.“You said you’ll bring my son back?” Luisfel said. “Are you not on the side of Horgror?”“No, Your Majesty. I’m not from the Underworld.”“Then where are you from?”“From the outer world.”His words made whispers come to life in the hall.“I have to go back to my wife, so there’s no need for me to lie,” Gabe added.
CHAPTER 566
Synatra personally came over to untie the metallic ropes binding Gabe’s arms.“Forget about finding the prince,” she uttered in a low voice, “you’re not gonna survive this fall.”“I will return, and you will not be smiling then,” Gabe replied.“We’ll see,” she waved her fingers.The royal guards took Gabe away.Rudi was taken in the opposite direction.Andal, on the other hand, met with his dad who told him to kill Rudi.Andal didn’t like that as it would only increase the king’s suspicion.“He won’t return, Father,” Andal assured him. “You don’t need to worry.”Meanwhile, Luisfer issued an order. “Whoever brings my son back can marry one of my daughters!”Also, the bounty on Horgror’s head increased from 1 million gold coins to 5 million gold coins, making him the highest bounty holder in Elderwood.Andal took a special unit and left the capital to bring the prince back.Many other noble families also sent their sons with knights and other soldiers in order to get the prince and also
CHAPTER 567
Gabe had no idea what awaited him.He didn’t make a long jump but rather a shorter one so he could keep himself closer to the trunk of the giant tree.Nevertheless, like a roar of a thousand beasts, the wind almost ripped him apart. The air here was surely much thinner, faster, and packed powerful punches everywhere on his body.It was like getting helplessly pushed around in a crowd full of overpowered toddlers. Small but super nasty.Monstrous shapes emerged from the clouds: winged beasts, a translucent serpent, and a thunderbird with eyes crackling lightning.The guards were stunned by the appearance of these monsters.“Shit, it’s the cloud dragon!”“And that’s a thunderbird!”“They are monsters even the knights have trouble dealing with! He’s as good as dead now!”They immediately raised the aerial barrier created along the length of the bone wall.Gabe certainly felt his heart moving up in his chest after seeing the cloud dragon that was miles long, and its head was as big as a t
CHAPTER 568
All Gabe understood was that the world around him turned into darkness in an instant.It took him a second to realize that he might have been swallowed.As Gabe was going down the monstrous thunderbird’s throat, thick lightning released from its neck muscles, trying to completely destroy Gabe’s body so that it could immediately absorb his power.However, Gabe’s body was charged by this lightning.He, who was unable to freely control the lightning due to anxiety and the vicious winds robbing him of his senses, now felt his body overflowing with such strong lightning, he combined it with his own lightning and burst it all out at once.The thunderbird’s neck swelled like a balloon.Its eyes swelled out of its sockets as it realized that something wasn’t right.It tried to cough out Gabe, but the cloud dragon just happened to attack it and bite at the spot where its wing and body joined.As a result the thunderbird was a second too late to react.Its neck blasted to pieces, separating its
CHAPTER 569
Gabe had realized one thing after the tempest vulture died.He was able to feel the winds around him, and the directions they were traveling.Until a few seconds ago, the winds were like complete strangers who moved unpredictably.But now, the winds appeared like neighbors whom he could see through to an extent.This increase in familiarity was enough for Gabe to understand that he probably absorbed the vulture’s ability.And at the same time, he saw the path he should take to survive this fall.It was a three-step-method.Kill → Absorb → Adapt.He could hear the devilish screams of the monstrous flock of birds coming up at him from the 110th realm.While falling, Gabe turned around so he faced downward.The rising winds whipped against his face, but he used the friction to create a difference of pressure that helped generate static charge all around him.He released his own lightning on top of that to cook the air, causing it to explode outward.The high-pressure charge burst the air
CHAPTER 570
Gabe could see much better now with his eyes closed than when he had his eyes open before absorbing the thunderbird and tempest vulture’s essences.His senses grew much sharper after he achieved resonance, possibly from his vivre mixing with the monsters’ essence and resulting in some much desired reaction.Gabe remembered that this was what Reveria talked about.She had told him it’d be much easier to control vivre than aura, especially when near the top realms.He felt like he could try implementing the Stellar Arts, but he knew his body better. He might suffer from a severe backlash, so refrained himself from using the martial arts which he had only practiced in theory using the book Rudi’s grandmother, Reveria, had given him.“I hope the old lady is fine,” Gabe thought as he dodged the violent, messy attacks from the sky reavers which were not known for their techniques. These monster birds were just bullies who relied on numbers more than individual strength.Gabe didn’t even bot
