Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Relaxed.

At ease.

——How wonderful!

Mo Ga Ru is really a good person.

I must keep him by my side and never let him get away.

After a while.

The void opened, and Mo Ga Ru fell to the ground.

"My Lord, how about that evil curse?" Shen Ye asked.

"It's just so-so, might be difficult for you professionals, but for me, it's really simple," Mo Ga Ru said with a relaxed expression.

——But by that time, he had begun to understand Baxter.

Baxter's information was correct.

It was indeed an evil curse.

Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, the void moved again.

Mo Ga Ru was transported away once more.

...The evil curse requires fifteen transports to vanish.

"What's the second disaster?"

Shen Ye asked.

"The first disaster is ongoing, so the second won't come," the Female Art Spirit said.

Shen Ye sighed and shook his head.

"I just learned a blade technique, why do I have to face so much trouble?"

"That blade technique is too powerful – they're afraid that the Tomb Soldiers, relying on it, would go and do some bad deeds, so after mastering it, you must face a demonstration of power," the Female Art Spirit said.

"Come on, I've seen bugs as big as planets; one blade technique is not going to make me go crazy," Shen Ye said with a shake of his head and a smile. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

Whoosh——

Mo Ga Ru was transported back again.

"My Lord!" Shen Ye hurriedly said.

"It's nothing!" Mo Ga Ru waved his hand, "Are there any more Cursed Snakes?"

"I was worried they might attack you again, so I drew them away," Shen Ye said.

"Well done, very——"

Before he finished speaking, Mo Ga Ru was transported away again.

The third time.

Shen Ye was about to squat down to rest for a bit when he saw those black three-headed snakes coming back.

No choice.

Let's lure the monsters!

This time, make a big detour.

Leading a group of black three-headed snakes, Shen Ye went through the long corridors, rounding seven twists and turns, taking quite a while before coming back to where Mo Ga Ru was transported away.

Mo Ga Ru was not there.

Unclear if he hadn't yet returned or had been transported away again.

Fifteen times, huh!

At this moment, with some free time, Shen Ye started feeling a bit hungry, so he simply took out a ration from the ring, squatting down and beginning to eat the frontline battlefield box meal from the Human Race.

Halfway through eating.

Mo Ga Ru came back.

He had blood on his hands, and his expression was no longer so relaxed.

"My Lord, are you eating?" Shen Ye asked.

"You, a vampire, still eat human food?" Mo Ga Ru probed.

"When I was poor, I stole a lot from the Human Territory, just eating a bit to quench the hunger," Shen Ye said.

——Having seen all sorts of vampires in Hell, by now he had gotten good at maintaining the image of a poor vampire.

"Lord Nine Phases didn't give you money?" Mo Ga Ru asked.

"No, Lord Nine Phases doesn't give money," Shen Ye said naturally.

Mo Ga Ru paused, remembering Lord Nine Phases' way of doing things, and quickly felt it was to be expected.

"Then why do you still work for him?"

"Lord Nine Phases helped me kill a dragon, I am very grateful," Shen Ye said.

"I see——"

Before he could finish, Mo Ga Ru was transported away again.

Looks like it's quite the hassle.

This is only the first tribulation; there are more battles to come.

Shen Ye pondered for a moment, then continued eating.

Just when he was almost finished with his battlefield boxed meal, the black tri-headed snakes came again.

I'm running!

Shen Ye led the snakes on a big loop and returned to the spot where Mo Ga Ru had teleported away.

He waited for a while.

Mo Ga Ru was teleported back once more.

"Long Wu, I remember you are a Frost Death Knight,"

"That's right, my lord,"

"What about your skills?"

Shen Ye was taken aback, then caught on.

So, you see me squatting here, leisurely enjoying my meal, and feel displeased? Looking for an excuse to pick on me?

"My lord, I shall humbly demonstrate,"

He kicked out, slicing a blade of frost through the air.

"...Baxter, Death Knights have mounts and fight with long swords, not with their feet," Mo Ga Ru nitpicked.

"My lord, as a Frost Death Knight, I embody both words 'frost' and 'death'!"

"Where's your mount?"

Shen Ye, placing full trust in the great skeleton, gestured with his ring.

Snap!

A visually impactful undead skeleton beast appeared before Mo Ga Ru.

What kind of existence is Fei Lun?

It had long been perfectly in sync with Shen Ye, adept at handling all kinds of emergencies.

At that moment, it had transformed into the Skeleton King—, ready to give Mo Ga Ru a little shock.

"Come forth, brave knight! Climb onto my back!"

The great skeleton shouted.

Shen Ye leapt onto its expansive bony back, proclaiming loudly, "My beloved mount, join me in battle across the lands!"

With that, he kicked forward.

Frost flew out.

Mo Ga Ru was silent for a while.

He thought he was foolproof in his facade.

But as a Frost Death Knight, his only move that could pass for "frost" was a kick.

Riding a turtle.

Squatting on the ground eating a pilfered lunch.

Forget it...

Not going to kill him after all.

It wasn't out of pity, but because was I, the supreme "Five Desires" master, really going to stoop to killing a knight whose mount was a skeleton turtle?

As he was thinking, Shen Ye crouched down and pulled a bone from the turtle-back.

Now he had a weapon.

"My lord, do you require me to enter battle? My mount and I are ready!"

Shen Ye wielded the turtle bone, his fighting spirit fierce as he asked.

Woah—

He was indeed a loyal Frost Turtle Knight.

"No need... I have no use for you,"

Mo Ga Ru said wearily.

—The reputation of the "Five Desires" had been dragged down to a new low.

How am I supposed to mix in the cosmos now!

Others will point at my planet and say, "Look, that's the world with the Turtle Knight."

Maybe I should just kill him after all.

Whoosh—

Space opened and Mo Ga Ru was teleported away.

The corridor quieted down.

Shen Ye and Fei Lun (the Skeleton King—) exchanged glances, each seeing determination in the other's eyes.
