CHAPTER 581
Gabe came out of the tunnels and looked back, believing that the explosion wouldn’t reach there.If that were to happen, so many people might die.As he expected, the ever growing trees and branches contained the explosion from reaching the surface. It stayed within the branch, though it did swell a bit from the inside, causing the roads to go uneven.The buildings shook, and the people were forced to run out.This never happened before.Most people on Elderwood did not ever experience earthquakes before. What they experienced now was the closest to it, but worse.After all, the vibrations and the heat coming from the surface was not pleasant at all. It scared the shit out of them, making them feel as if the world itself was ending.“Can you fight?” Gabe asked the prince, who he was carrying on his back.Gabe had already seen him fight, so the prince thought Gabe was asking about his health and stamina. “Not quite. They gave me the oxylock serum.”“Oxylock? What’s that?”“It slows dow
CHAPTER 582
On the 49th realm.Aria, the lady who had told Gabe about Commander Kirk, was readying to leave that realm. She had already packed the bags, and she stopped by the graves of her acquaintances.After praying, she went to the spider elevator.It was a domesticated spider monster which was brought up by humans and was taught how to behave well.There were always roasted grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, termites, or smaller spiders available.If one were to feed the spider monster, it would automatically take them to the next realm.Aria fed a roasted beetle, but the spider refused to move.Aira fed two more beetles, and only then the spider moved.As the spider was climbing to the higher realm using the webs, Aira wondered, “I hope that man found the prince. He’s strong, but I can’t help but worry about him.”Just then, she saw a streak of lightning in the distance, probably dozens of miles away, outside the realm’s edge.The sound came a couple of seconds later.It wasn’t just a si
CHAPTER 583
The spider almost reached the 50th realm.“Have you decided?” Gabe asked Leggie. “If you’re worried about your safety, I will keep you safe, so don’t worry.”Leggie still didn’t show any signs of agreeing to his words.Before they arrived, Gabe’s expression changed so much Aria could see it.“What’s wrong?” she asked.“The scent of blood,” Miguel said. “It’s thick.”The spider went up through the door and landed on the 50th realm. To Aria’s shock, there were corpses on the streets, of both civilians and soldiers.There were people crying over the dead bodies of their family members.“What happened here?” Aria asked a boy who was crying over his father’s body.“Minister Gregg wanted everyone to turn on the king, but many of us didn’t agree, “ the mother of the boy replied with tears in her eyes. “He made his soldiers fight everyone that resisted.”Just then, the mother recognized the prince and immediately kneeled, “Your Highness Miguel.”Everyone there was shocked by her words, and th
CHAPTER 584
Gabe and Miguel entered the inn.The inn was nearly full, but the atmosphere was dull because so many civilians died.When people saw Miguel entering the inn, they were shocked for different reasons.Some of them heard that the prince got captured, so what was he doing here? How did he escape?Despite having many doubts, they did not raise their voices.There was no empty table, so Miguel went over to one table and said, “You guys go and sit at another table.”The two men sitting at that table looked at each other once and then reluctantly left.Miguel sat down and snapped his fingers.The innkeeper scuttled over and servilely lowered his back, “What can I bring for you, Your Highness?”“The best food in your inn,” Miguel said, “with some fruit wine.”“We don’t have wine, but we have ale,” the innkeeper said.“Fine. Go,” Miguel said.Everybody in the inn was whispering.“Did Gregg kill all those who didn’t take his side?” Miguel asked.There was silence in the hall.“How can I do anyt
CHAPTER 585
“My father is dying. Please save him,” the little girl bawled, her cheeks red and soaked in tears.“Can’t you see that I’m eating?” Miguel blurted. “Wait until I’m done.”The little girl and everyone was shocked by his words, including Gabe.“What happened to your dad?” Gabe asked.“Dad? What’s that?” the little girl frowned. “It’s my father who was injured during the battle. Please save him.”Gabe realized that the people in Elderwood did not know of the word ‘dad,’ so they only used father to describe their father.“Are there healers on this realm?” Gabe asked.“Gregg would have taken them with him,” Miguel said. “We have no way to help her father.”“Prince, don’t you have pills?” the little girl asked. “Just give one healing pill to my father.”“I don’t have any pill,” Miguel sounded annoyed because she was disturbing his meal-time.“Then please use your vivre,” the little girl suggested. “You should be capable of healing others with your vivre, right?”Miguel’s expression did not
CHAPTER 586
Leggie was getting nervous because Bozee was catching up.However, Gabe sucked in a deep breath and blasted air out of his mouth.A powerful shockwave burst downward.“Hmph, puny tricks,” Bozee swung his sword with the intention to shatter the incoming shockwave.And he succeeded in doing so, but only a part of it.As it turned out, it wasn’t a single shockwave, but rather a continuous wave.Bozee did not expect this, and so the energy serpent under his feet was destroyed, and he got sent packing down.He somersaulted and landed on his feet. A corner of his mouth leaked blood.He angrily stared up at Gabe, whereas Prince Miguel was smirking cockily. “I have to tell them that the prince is heading up. Our plans won’t work well if the prince is roaming around freely.”“It seems he stopped chasing,” Miguel let out a faint sigh of relief.“I don’t know his name, but that old man saved us,” Gabe said.Miguel went silent. He couldn’t deny it. “Had we followed that little girl, we would have
CHAPTER 587
On the 54th realm.Gabe and Prince Miguel arrived there on the spider Leggie.A quick look around, and Gabe saw an old lady tied up to a pole, surrounded by a crowd.It looked like they were going to execute her.Gabe squinted his eyes and had a better look at that old lady. His eyes then widened slowly because it was Rudi’s grandmother, Reveria.“Go over to that place, Leggie,” Gabe shouted.As if the spider could understand his words, Leggie sprang on the rooftops and headed toward the crowd.Miguel also realized that it was Reveria. “Are you saving that old witch?”“Witch?” Gabe was surprised. “What do you mean?”“Everybody who lived in the same realm as her died, except for her,” Miguel said. “So, nobody goes to that realm where she lived anymore. “Even the knights did not want to go to that 77th cursed realm, so they built a path through the trunk so they wouldn’t have to stop by that realm.”“Are you telling me that the king and everyone fear a single old lady?” Gabe found it ha
CHAPTER 588
On the 55th realm.This was a place known for its people doing all kinds of tricks and circus feats. They were known to be the friendliest people of all.But right now, they were all beaten black and blue.Nobody was killed, but they were thrashed with whips and sticks, probably because they didn’t agree to side with the rebels.“I can’t believe they attacked even these innocent artists,” Miguel got quite angry because he had liked these people very much, having personally seen and rewarded some of them. “Who did this to you?” he asked the civilians.“Minster Gregg,” they all said with rage in their eyes.Miguel had never seen these people with such anger before. “How could the peace-loving minister Gregg do this? It’s so hard to believe.”“What exactly is he to you?” Gabe asked him. “Why do you believe in him when all the victims in every realm are blaming him?”Miguel gnashed his teeth but said nothing. He actually wanted to rely on someone other than Gabe to safely get to his fathe
CHAPTER 589
On the 56th realm.Minister Gregg was eating boiled greens. “The salt they get from the brine veins on this realm tastes much better for some reason. Even the king and the nobles get the salt from this realm. I can see why. Food tastes much better, especially when you use the fresh salt.”Salt was a rare byproduct of sap refinement. Not everybody on Elderwood could afford to use salt in their foods.There were other ways to get salt on this giant tree. Some well known ways were to find crystal moss, saline crusts formed by lightning striking mineral-rich bark, going down to the mineral caves formed around the roots.The root miners on the lower floors were well respected because they had to fight dangerous worms, rats and bugs that lived in the soil. However, the salt taken from these ground-level caves was not taken by the elites.Only the salt acquired on the 56th floor was considered pure and worthy of the attention of the elites.The people on this floor were very important becaus
CHAPTER 590
“Who are you?” Duncan asked. “For you to speak so recklessly… you must be quite confident in your skill.”“He must be the guy who helped the prince escape,” Minister Gregg said while smirking at Gabe. “Don’t underestimate him, Sir Duncan. Fight him with all we’ve got so we won’t waste much time here.”“As you wish, Lord Gregg,” Duncan signaled his soldiers to gather, and they did.“Be careful, Gabe,” Reveria said, joining Gabe on the side. “Duncan the Divine Wall… he’s known to never take a step back. There’s only one way to get out of this situation. We either kill him or knock him out of his senses.”“You take care of the flies around him,” Gabe told her, to which she nodded. He stepped forward, cracking his knuckles.“Do you want to know how it feels when you get hit by a fast-moving fortress?” Duncan planted his feet wide, gathered heavenly energy into the blade and thrust once. It wasn’t a flashy move like Miguel’s Celestial Lance. It wasn’t anywhere near fast, either. It was rea
