Chapter 453: The Event(2)
“I wouldn’t be able to help you any further. The curse on you for killing turned out to be stronger than I thought since you killed two of Earthen Trolls. I have exhausted all my energy to release you from it.”
“Your cultivation level had also reduced from late Tao Palace to intermediate Tao Seed, and it would stay like this until the day I get free and heal you.”
“When the time to take out the boy’s heart arrives in the future, order that woman to rip out her heart and not let him die due to blood loss and weakness, or you would be indirectly responsible for the boy’s death and the curse will attack you again.”
“You won’t be able to fight the curse back unless you become a God, so remember to let that woman rip out the heart of the boy when the boy is awake, or all our efforts will fail.”
It was the message left by the voice for Ronald when he regained his consciousness.
***
“Master, I would free you,” Ronald mumbled. He then gently touched the spot where once the keyhole was, and now it was filled with the melted key made from Turta’s heart and 111 drops of blood taken out for 111 years.
“Eh!” Ronald exclaimed in surprise as he felt his hand attached to the gate. He attempted to move his hand away, but no matter how much strength he used, it failed even to budge.
“Argh!” The next moment a scream rang in the area. A sudden suction force emerged from the gate and started sucking Ronald in.
As time passed, Ronald’s hair started to turn gray; wrinkles began appearing all across his skin, while an unbearable amount of pain attacked him at the same time.
“Argh, master, why’s this happening to me?” Ronald cried out as the pain got worse with each passing moment, and he could see his death dancing in front of him.
Ronald got nothing but silence in response to his scream.
Time flew by.
“ARG-”
Before Ronald could even complete his scream, his lifeforce got exhausted. The next moment, his body crashed on the ground, but before it could touch and make a crashing sound, the body turned into ashes and then scattered like sand into the air.
“Click!”
The next moment, a clicking sound rang in the area.
The melted key slowly dissolved into liquid and seeped into the gates, disappearing forever.
The keyhole started having changes. It suddenly began spinning, despite it being fixed in a spot.
The spinning rate began increasing at an unimaginable speed.
While the keyhole spun, a circular hole started appearing.
The hole looked to be in a still position due to the lightning speed at which the keyhole moved.
Through the keyhole, a new world filled with stars could be seen. The scene looked too beautiful even to be written, but the pressure released by it was also threatening.
As the hole’s radius grew in size, the pressure released by it got more intense and threatening.
The entire Mysterious peak started shaking as if something terrible were going to happen.
Figure after figure started appearing, floating in the sky as they looked at the entire mountain shaking, with all of them having grave and excited faces.
“The entire Anga continent would disintegrate if this kind of shaking continued anymore,” A figure solemnly commented.
“You don’t need to worry about that,” An unfamiliar female voice rang in the sky.
None of the figures recognized the owner of the voice as they turned their heads around and looked at her.
It was a human girl, who looked to be in her teenage years, with an ordinary appearance.
It was none other than Lilith, the Angel.
All the figures in the sky had their focus on the shaking mountain, while Lilith, on the other hand, had her complete focus on the gate and the hole growing larger. A smile spread across her, seeing the beautiful scenery of stars behind the hole.
“What do you mean by that?” The figure asked, seeing such confidence in the stranger girl.
“Nothing would happen to the Anga continent, except for the Mysterious peak. It would disappear. With it, all lives located on it would also die,” Lilith told the group with a casual tone as if 20% of life on the Anga continent meant nothing.
The Mysterious peak was so much spread across the Anga continent that around 20% of the entire population of the Anga continent lived there.
“How do you know that?” One of the figures asked. He had a terrified face.
The figure was an Emperor, and the resources area inside the Mysterious peak helped him stabilize and secure his Empire from the attacks of the other four Empires on the Anga continent.
If the Mysterious peak disappeared, the figure would lose its backing, and then he would be just an Immortal with a territory to call his own.
“You don’t need to know that,” Lilith smilingly told the figure and then gestured to the people floating in the sky toward the gate.
“You see that it’s the gate to a ruin. If we succeed in conquering it, even Gods would feel envy,” Lilith commented and told the figures present in the sky about the importance of the world behind the gate.
The breathing of the figure’s quickened up as now that they saw the gate, they could feel the extraordinariness of the gate and the world behind it.
The shaking of the Mysterious peak also quickened up as the hole had covered two-thirds of the gate.
While the Mysterious peak shook like the inside of a washing machine, nothing happened to the areas around it; it stayed entirely normal.
***
“It has all started,” Aakesh expressionlessly muttered as he looked toward the Mysterious peak.
***
All the figures in the sky, including Lilith, came to the ground. They stood in front of the gate and looked toward it with shocks on their faces.
The threatening pressure released by the enlargement of the hole even affected them. Only one person stayed casual during all this. It was Lilith. She didn’t even feel a breeze from the pressure.
“I have a way to reduce the opening time of the ruin,” Lilith suddenly commented, bringing every figure’s attention to her.
“How?”
“How?”
“How?”
Several figures asked the question at the same time.
