Chapter 486: Elemental Gates and Instant Kill
Two big men, who were wearing black magic armors, were closest to the octagon-shaped altar, and they were guarding a blue-haired mid-aged man as the three of them walked forward. There were a few masters’ corpses standing behind them, and it was clear that they were killed with one strike! They still had their wicked smiles on their faces, their corpses were still in a battle position, and the energy surges were still in their body; however, the life energies were nowhere to be found.
It was clear that the explosions Fei sensed came from them.
Fei could tell that those two guards like men were dominant; they were both top-tier New Moon Elites. It seemed like they were from the military as the murderous spirits of soldiers could be sensed on them. On the other hand, the blue-haired mid-aged man was way too strong. Even though Fei was already a Nightmare Mode level 40 Barbarian, he still couldn’t see through him. However, his sharp Barbarian instinct told him that this man was extremely dangerous, and one shouldn’t mess with him.
At the same time, Fei had a strange feeling; he felt like he had met this man before, but he couldn’t recall where he met him didn’t matter how hard he tried.
As these three people stepped onto the altar, the atmosphere in the area tensed up; Fei could tell that all the masters in the area couldn’t help but chatter among themselves.
Some masters stared at those three people with vicious and stimulated lights in their eyes; Fei knew that they wanted to stop those three men. However, the five corpses that were still standing on their trail kept on telling the other masters not to misbehave. This bloody scene forced these masters to hold on to their murderous spirits.
“Could there be something special about this altar?” Fei was a little curious.
He was still standing by the edge of the area, and he didn’t walk in further to destruct the subtle equilibrium that was already built up. He just stood there to quietly observe the situation and didn’t want to become the target of everyone.
With everyone’s eyes on them, the blue-haired mid-aged man and his two guards got onto the altar and started to wander around as if they were strolling in their backyard garden. After a while, they finally walked to the portal-like structure on the northern side of the octagon-shaped altar.
Then, they waited.
The three of them stood on the altar and looked at the masters down on the ground patiently.
“Haha! There are now only seven [Elemental Gates] now! Our St. Germain Empire is going to claim one as well! Does anyone have objecting opinions?” Crown Prince Girano glanced around with a smile on his handsome face and asked loudly. When he looked around, his eyes shortly paused on Fei before moving away. As he continued to laugh, he walked towards the altar with the four beautiful maids.
“Yuck! St. Germain Empire? It is only a little level 2 empire! How dare you to be this arrogant?”
“Yeah! You are only a top-tier New Moon Elite! You don’t know how weak you are! How dare you want to claim an [Elemental Gate]? Hehe, back the f*ck off with these four women! Otherwise, you might be killed!”
“Hehe, there are so many people here, and only the most powerful eight people could claim the eight [Elemental Gates]. With the help of these portals, one could avoid going through the level 35 region and enter the level 36 region directly! Whoever could enter the level 36 region would have the chance of getting super lucky and claiming the biggest prize! Hehe, young man, I think you are too young. No one could just get an [Elemental Gate] by dropping a name! Even the masters from the level 9 empire couldn’t achieve that result!”
“Hey, you girly-looking guy! Leave these four b*tchs here and disappear right away! Otherwise…… Hehe……” someone got obscene ideas towards the four maids Girano had. It made sense since these four beautiful maids had different temperaments; one of them looked cold, one of them looked cute, one of them looked sexy, and one of them looked majestic. There was no doubt that they were attractive to powerful cultivators.
Fei frowned upon hearing all that.
Now, he figured out that the low octagon-shaped altar was indeed one of the most important structures in the Mythical Palace, [Elemental Altar]! Hazel Bank had mentioned that to him before they came.
It was heard that the Mythical Palace could be divided into 36 regions, and the hardest region to get through wasn’t the level 36 region but the level 35 region. Ever since the Mythical Palace was discovered, only a few peak Sun-Class Lords successfully traveled through the level 35 region without the help of the [Elemental Gates]; all other masters who tried to do the same all died in there. Therefore, the level 35 region was also known as the Death Region.
The [Elemental Altar] had a portal-like structure on each of its eight sides, and the [Elemental Gates] would be activated if eight masters, who were at least on the level of Half Moon Elite, injected their energies into the [Elemental Gates] at the same time. By using these portals, the masters would be able to bypass the Death Region and enter the level 36 region that was known for its safeness and treasures.
Since Fei was educated on these things before he came, he figured it out after listening to the mockeries the masters were throwing at each other.
“No wonder so many masters are here…… they are all here fighting for the eight [Elemental Gates]!” he thought.
It was heard that the [Elemental Gates] would only appear once in 20 years, and each portal could teleport a maximum of five people. Therefore, if someone missed out on the opportunity, they would need to wait for another 20 years.
Since this was the case, Fei had to at least occupy an [Elemental Gate]! He needed to see if the Mythical Altar that could purify the stained [Worldstone] was in there or not!
However, since the situation was still a bit messy, Fei didn’t dare to make a move.
He could tell that except for the blue-haired mid-aged man who already occupied a gate, several other masters had insane energy surges around them! Fei knew for a fact that he had no chance of defeating them.
Fei had the help from that mysterious map, and he should be able to arrive here first. However, since he had to enter Diablo World two times to level up, he missed out on more than ten hours of travel time. As a result, these masters got here before he did.
However, since these [Elemental Gates] required eight masters to inject energies into the portals at the same time, his late arrival didn’t affect him too much.
Currently, Crown Prince Girano of the St. Germain Empire was being bullied by quite a few masters. Fei thought back to what happened on Martial Saint Mountain in St. Petersburg, and he felt like this young man was probably a level 7 or 8 low-tier New Moon Elite about over a month ago. With that strength, this young man shouldn’t even be able to enter the level 34 region, let alone fighting for an [Elemental Gate].
“He is here! Did his strength increase by that much?”
Fei was thankful towards this young man who helped Krasic; if this young man was in trouble, Fei didn’t mind giving him a helping hand. Fei didn’t help him right away because he knew this young man wasn’t dumb; this young man must have trump cards!
Just as Fei expected, Girano’s laughter sounded again.
As he reached his hand into the air, he grabbed onto a small black wand. He quickly chanted a short spell, and the blue crystal orb on the tip of this wand lit up. A terrifying power exploded, and it filled up the entire space. At the moment, Girano who had this wand in his hand was god-like, and his four maids looked like Valkyries.
The black-purplish beam of lights shot at the people who insulted the young prince, and none of them were able to dodge. As soon as the lights enveloped their bodies, their bodies along with their weapon and armors disappeared as if they never existed.
Silence!
Dead silence!
