Chapter 1343 "Harpies & Hydra"
The marshal questioned those who watched Bello"s entire summoning thing that only lasted for five minutes.
The people who watched the entire summoning thing immediately reported to the marshal with shaky voices.
"Report, marshal! T-that...that black panther...that sacred beast, he...he suddenly threw a paw-shaped illusionary phantom, and..."
"And, and the phantom turned into this gate, yes."
The high-pitch cries and screams from the gate were still there, so the marshal had to concentrate just to listen to the report.
At the same time, those above the clouds suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings but accompanied with another high-pitch scream of countless women.
KYAAAAA!
The sound was unnatural, as if coming from monsters instead of real women, and judging from the collective sound, the number of these "monsters" shouldn"t be small.
The marshal and the generals who hadn"t understood what the h.e.l.l was wrong with that gate were also distracted by these new screaming voices in the sky.
As if it wasn"t enough, the surrounding celestials could hear the sound of horse"s hooves. .h.i.tting the soft cloud, but it sounded as if the horses ran on solid ground.
NEIGHH! DRAP! DRAP! DRAP!
The noises were vague and sounded far from their place, but occasionally, it would sound very close, as if it came from the gate not far from their place.
All these strange noises, weather change and even the sea"s turbulence directly aroused the young celestials" fear of the unknown.
"W-what are those noises? Are there any wild monsters again— "
"No, no, what is that gate? Someone, can you ask the elders— "
One of the celestial elders in charge of gathering information was sweating bullets as they rushed to find information about this ancient thing and they finally wound a clue—
"This...this!" The elder choked as he looked at the information he got in the ancient books recorded in his mind.
"This thing— " the elder almost bit his tongue as he trembled from head to toe, but in the end, he still spat six words with gritted teeth.
"That"s the Gate of The Underworld!"
Gate of The Underworld!
The surrounding celestials and even those far away who heard the telepathy from the elders suddenly felt as if they were struck by a bolt of lightning out of the blue.
The Gate of The Underworld— isn"t that the entrance to the world of the dead?
How could it appear here?!
The marshal and the generals didn"t want to believe what the elder said because the gate of the underworld was a big matter.
This was as important as their gate of heaven! No one could casually summon this gate unless they had the privilege to do so.
Among n.o.ble celestials like them, even the queen wasn"t qualified to summon this gate just yet because she still didn"t have a certain "achievement", unlike her predecessor.
How could this gate be the gate of the underworld?
It must be just a summoning gate that looked like the underworld"s gate.
It must be!
The celestial elder in charge of information saw that the marshal and the generals refused to believe his explanation, so he could only grit his teeth and tried to convince the group.
"D-don"t you guys hear the mournful cries, the soul-piercing screams and the bone-chilling cold from that gate?"
The elder held his breath and snorted.
"That"s all the characteristic of the underworld"s gate!"
As if afraid that the group would still find some other arguments to refute him, the elder quickly pointed at the sky and the sea below.
"Did you see the sky and the sea?"
Well, right now, there was nothing else other than their celestial race in the sky and merfolk in the sea.
But the elder continued to speak with a high tone of voice, sounding anxious and fearful at the same time.
"Did you hear the flapping wings" noises, the vague roar of an underwater creature and the sound of countless horses" hooves?!"
These three things...the celestials, the generals, and the marshal did hear them, but the old ones felt the noises must be a random sound effect to scare them.
"What"s with those noises? It can be from a voice recorder or just a fancy trick to scare us..."
There were indeed a lot of things like this, and the celestial had seen a lot of people bluffing with visual and audio tricks to deal with people stronger than them.
9 out of 10, the targets were fooled.
But they wouldn"t be fooled!
Looking at the stubborn marshal and his generals who didn"t want to admit that they were afraid the gate would turn out to be a real gate of the underworld...
The elder could only grit his teeth and sneered.
"Don"t you know that the flapping wings" noises come from Harpies, a group of human-like creatures with their arms turning into wings and their legs turning into sharp bird claws."
The Harpies were known to live around the Gate of The Underworld, so if you saw a group of Harpies, the Gate of the Underworld must be near.
"And the creature in the sea. It should be a creature living in the lake above the actual Gate of The Underworld, but since the gate was summoned here, it came to the sea."
The creature in the mouth of the elder was a sea serpent with seven heads— Hydra.
It was indeed the one Ainsley used as an inspiration when she created the seven-headed snake blood whip!
"The Hydra is said to be the guardian of the lake above the Gate of the Underworld. It"s silently called as the uncrowned guardian of the Underworld"s Gate."
If there is a Hydra around, it means the Gate of The Underworld is near!
