Gate of Revelation-Chapter 773 Are You Happy?

Chapter 773 Are You Happy?

Nightdew was floating in mid-air, each of her hands placed on the opposite shoulder. Strong drafts of air lifted her up, allowing her to observe the hall below.

Her life signature detector clearly showed five life signatures within the hall.

The system had already issued the prompt, notifying them that the Gods of the Land’s mitama in Izumo-taisha had been taken. Logically speaking, the team that managed to obtain the mitama should have instantly left this location, which was being displayed by the system.

However, they were still inside the hall right now.

This could only mean one thing…

In the battle for the mitama earlier, although this team managed to defeat the monsters guarding the mitama, they must have suffered from serious injuries themselves. Rather, they may have lost some members as well. That’s why they were incapable of moving. Instead, they had to stay here and rest.

This was a good chance for them.

The two strongest members in her team, excluding her, attacked. Fortress attacked from the main entrance using heat-seeking missiles while Mad Hunter utilized his bat clones to personally enter the hall through the ceiling.

The moment the team inside the building chose to charge out, they would be greeted by a minus 150 degrees blizzard and the long-ranged bombardment from her other three members.

Nightdew was very confident that a team that had only just suffered greatly from a battle with monsters would be incapable of escaping this perfect ambush.

She watched as Fortress unloaded all of the missiles on his shoulder-mounted missile launcher in one fell swoop. The missiles flew into the hall through the opened gate.

But nothing happened!

No explosion. No burst of flames.

It was as though the missiles had disappeared into the hall.

Nightdew was stunned.

But her astonishment only lasted a few seconds.

Immediately after that, a figure flew out like a cannonball from inside the hall to smash into the courtyard wall.𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝒃𝒏𝓸𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝙢

Fortunately, during that critical moment, Nightdew was able to clearly make out the figure’s appearance. Thus, she did not activate her Goddess of Ice skill.

That wasn’t an enemy from within the hall, but… Mad Hunter.

Mad Hunter’s skill allowed him to transform into hundreds of bats and attack the enemy. As long as just one of the bats survived, he would not die.

And yet, Mad Hunter, who had transformed into hundreds of bats had – in that short moment – been beaten back to his original form and thrown out of the hall.

More, after smashing into the courtyard wall, causing it to collapse as a result, Mad Hunter was left incapable of standing up. He could only roll on the ground while groaning.

Nightdew’s heart grew cold, even colder than the surrounding air.

Just who… is inside the hall?

This question did not linger long before she saw a figure walk out from the gate of the shrine.

It was a young man who was certainly no older than 20 years of age. He was not particularly tall, with a good-looking face. There was a faint smile on his face. In his hand was a sword.

He was not walking swiftly. Rather, it was as though he was having a stroll in his garden.

Standing before him was Fortress.

Fortress had thrown aside the missile launcher on his shoulder and pulled out two two-handed battle axes, one in each hand. He had been preparing to engage in a melee battle only to now stand there in stupor.

Back when Mad Hunter flew out from the gate, he had grazed past Fortress. Fortress could still feel the high-speed airflow grazing his face.

Mad Hunter… didn’t he only just charge in a second ago?

Fortress was frightened.

However, his shock only lasted for one second. Fortress swiftly recollected himself. He then roared and all the muscles in his body ballooned. The two battle axes in his hands became like hurricanes, slashing furiously towards the young man before him.

He was a warrior who had chosen the muscle strengthening route. Even so, he also possessed absolute confidence in his speed.

Moreover, they also had Guild Leader Nightdew up in the sky.

Bang!

Before he could rush forward, something strong smashed against the side of Fortress’s lower abdomen area. As a result, he felt all his strength vanishing and his vision began turning blurry.

Dong!

The courtyard wall on the other side collapsed after Fortress smashed into it.

This time, Nightdew became utterly dumbfounded.

Fortress was their guild’s strongest melee fighter. His Physique had been enhanced to [A-] class. Even his Agility had been enhanced to [B+] class. Additionally, there were also the double-handed Tempest War Axes and the melee skill that he purchased. His Comprehensive Melee Ability had already reached [A] class.

At that very moment, however, he was sent flying with but a single blow. More, his figure flew at a speed faster than the missiles he had just fired just now.

That was not all. Nightdew could clearly see the move that the sword-wielding young man made earlier. He had turned his sword to strike Fortress’ side with the blunt surface of the blade.

He was showing mercy.

If it weren’t for that, Fortress would have been severed in half by now.

“The one I’m waiting for… is not you fellows. You all may leave.”

Nightdew watched as the young man raised his head to look at her. He even smiled at her.

“Take the two of them away. I don’t like killing people. That’s why they are still alive. But don’t you appear before me again, or else…”

He did not bother finishing his sentence before turning around to leisurely walk back into the shrine.

The young man’s back was completely exposed to Nightdew. And yet, even after he disappeared back into the shrine, Nightdew did not use her Goddess of Ice skill that she had been preparing all this time.

She dared not.

Although her exclusive skill Goddess of Ice was at [S] class, her Comprehensive Ability was far from [S] class. It was presently only at [A-] class.

She was well aware of it. Judging by how this young man could incapacitate Fortress and Mad Hunter with a single punch, even if there were ten of her, there was no way her side could fight the young man.

He must be [S] class! Moreover, a highly experienced one.

But… just who is he?

While her guild was neither big nor one of the top in terms of strength, Nightdew could already be considered a veteran amongst the Players.

And yet, she had never heard of – be it amongst Players or Awakened ones – an [S] class veteran with the appearance of that young man.

“Let’s go!”

Still, now was not the time for her to be thinking about this.

They had to leave immediately.

The farther they go from this damned [S] class expert who came out of nowhere, the better.

…

The sky had turned dark…

It had been 16 hours since the second phase began.

Four other teams had appeared so far, all targeting the Gods of the Land’s mitama of the Izumo-taisha.

As Chen Xiaolian had promised, Miao Yan and Sawakita Mitsuo’s group only needed to sit comfortably inside the shrine.

Every time a team came to attack them in an attempt to snatch the mitama, Chen Xiaolian would singlehandedly and easily deal with them all.

With the exception of the second team, which was too stubborn, forcing Chen Xiaolian to kill two of their members, the rest of them – be it Players or Awakened ones – would immediately choose to retreat after witnessing Chen Xiaolian’s strength.

But the one that Chen Xiaolian was waiting for still did not come.

On the other hand, the look that Sawakita Mitsuo and Nagase Komi had towards Chen Xiaolian had changed from awe to reverence.

Even Naito had no balls to hold any feelings of resentment anymore. He instead sat there obediently like a good boy in kindergarten.

Don’t joke around. This was a big boss with a terrifying level of power. Could he afford to offend someone like this?

“There are five shrines hiding the mitama. The one that we are waiting for may not choose this one.” Miao Yan walked over and sat down beside Chen Xiaolian. She then continued with a hushed tone, “What if he fails to complete the first phase and was already kicked out of this instance dungeon?”

“That’s fine.” Chen Xiaolian did not seem that worried. “He still doesn’t know that we are looking for him. Besides… even if he knows, what of it? There is no way he would not take the bait and enter instance dungeons. We have the GM’s help. It’s only a matter of time before we catch him.”

“Fine… at any rate, there is one on me. I’m not afraid that you will go first on your own.” Miao Yan pondered it for a moment before slowly nodding. “If we can’t make it this time, the next time I come online…”

“We have guests again.”

Chen Xiaolian interrupted her and stood up only to become stunned for a moment. Unlike the previous encounters, he did not walk to the courtyard outside.

The reason for that was because he could already hear the sound of footsteps.

Previously, every one of the other teams would not say anything and simply attacked first.

This time, though, the opposing party did not do so.

Soon enough, three figures appeared at the entrance to the hall.

When the sky turned dark earlier, Nagase Komi had led Naito to light up all the candles inside the shrine. And while the hall was spacious, thanks to the illumination of so many candles, it remained well-lit.

When he saw the face of the leader of the trio, Chen Xiaolian’s eyes lit up.

Finally, the wait is over!

“I was wondering why this team did not leave after obtaining the mitama. So, it’s you, Shogun.”

The one leading the trio wore a pure-black protective suit and sported long hair. His face was as white as snow and his eyes were filled with insidiousness.

As for the two figures standing behind him, both were men. One wielded a staff while the other one had his whole body covered in a layer of metallic exoskeleton suit. The leader, however, was not wielding anything.

He looked at Sawakita Mitsuo. Despite addressing him as ‘Shogun’, his tone was filled with ridicule. “It’s true… I have not encountered any experts in this instance dungeon. No wonder you can stay here so comfortably for so long. However, you probably didn’t think that I would appear in this instance dungeon, no?”

“Indeed… I did not expect this.” Sawakita Mitsuo stood up. Even back when the man in black was talking, Sawakita Mitsuo’s eyes had been staring at the man in black.

In Chen Xiaolian’s opinion, Sawakita Mitsuo had always been a refined and easy-going old man. No matter what happened, he would always maintain a carefree look.

This was his first time seeing such intense killing intent in Sawakita Mitsuo’s eyes.

“Then, you should know what to do now, right? My dear Shogun?” The man in black displayed a smile full of arrogance and condescension.

“Hand over the Gods of the Land’s mitama in your possession. Omononushi, Takeminakata, Shiinetsuhiko, Kotoshironushi… add the one in your hand and all five mitama are mine! Oh, right! Also…”

He did not move, but his eyes slowly swept past Chen Xiaolian and the others. Then, his faced cracked into a grin. “Your team… there are two that I like a lot. You understand, right?”

At that very moment, in addition to insidiousness, there was also desire, one that seemed about to overflow.

“If…” To his surprise, Sawakita Mitsuo shook his head. “… I refuse?”

“Oh, oh, oh… looks like our Shogun thinks that he has become some bigshot!” The man in black applauded in an exaggerated fashion. “Additionally, he has forgotten… in that Dubai instance dungeon, how your team members were all killed by me. Oh, no. I almost forgot. The ones I liked did not die inside the instance dungeon. I took them out of the instance dungeon and enjoyed myself with them for three whole days before they died.”

After saying that, he slowly took several steps forward. A cube the size of a Rubik’s cube had suddenly appeared on his right palm. It rotated non-stop and the man in black’s face began turning vicious. “Since you rejected my kind warning… you must already be prepared for the consequences, right?”

“Strange, you don’t seem very angry.” Chen Xiaolian suddenly turned to look at Miao Yan with a slightly puzzled look. “Judging by his tone, you should understand what he intends to do to you, no?”

Chen Xiaolian had not expected the Player with the final seed to actually be a… psychopathic murderer with a twisted mind.

Miao Yan’s designated body was Countess Xian Yin. Naturally, this carefully-tailored high-level Exclusive Account possessed a flawless appearance. And while Nagase Komi had a punk look, judging by her facial features that were covered by the heavy makeup, she had quite the attractive appearance.

Moreover, her tattoos and bald head could also be considered as an unconventional type of beauty. It was not surprising that someone would find her attractive.

It wasn’t hard to imagine just what the man in black was planning to do to them when he threatened Sawakita Mitsuo just now.

“Me?” Miao Yan had a more puzzled expression on her face. “You thought… he was talking about me?”

“Who else…” Chen Xiaolian’s eyes widened.

Miao Yan raised her palm to her forehead. “By the Heavens! Back when the GM told us his name, I thought that you would have at least heard of him. Rather… even if you have not heard of him, you should have been able to infer something from his name.”

“What? Could he be talking about…” Chen Xiaolian turned to look at the man in black before turning back to Miao Yan. He gaped before pointing at himself. “Me?”

“The GM had already informed you that his name is Heavenly Attacker. What do you think? Does he like females or… males?” Miao Yan stretched her hand to cup her hair while grinning brightly at Chen Xiaolian. “To attract his fancy… are you happy?”

“…”

Chen Xiaolian looked at Heavenly Attacker again and felt goosebumps all over his body.

Damn it, this pervert!

F**k your attacker!

Heavenly Attacker, roughly translated from ‘天攻’, pinyin: 'tiān gong'.

In Chinese, ‘小攻’, pinyin: 'xiǎo gōng’, roughly translated as: Junior Attacker, refers to gay men, particularly the one that ‘gives/attacks’ in the ‘bed’. So here, the name Heavenly Attacker implies he's 'Heavenly' at 'attacking' in bed.
