The boy and girl that were pushed back didnât seem to have the required level and so the guard pushed them to the side while shouting at them. The boy snarled at the guard while the girls behind him glared! She was just a little girl but she was extremely beautiful with golden blond hair and eyes. The boy in front of her also had gold blonde hair and this made Han think they were siblings immediately. The boy turned around to look at the girl with a lot of concern and Han rose a brow. Maybe they arenât siblings, after all? Han had no idea why he thought something like that, but he just ignore it and continued watching.
âWe just want to go to see our family! What sort of bullshit are you even saying! Weâve been to the sixty-third floor before because we live there!! Let us through!â
The boy shouted this loudly and the guard seemed to get very angry once he heard this. He hated when people did things like this. They would try to lie to the guards so that the guards will allow them to get through and move to a floor that is too high for them! This guard has been fooled by this kind of trick too many times and he refuses to allow it to happen again! He smacked the boy back and the boy crashed to the ground again! This time the girl was the one that came to help him!
âYou better not waste my time here! If you want to go to a floor then you can only go to floor sixty-one! If you want to go any higher then get a badge from the guild and you will be let through! If not then get out of my sight!â
The boy held his cheek and his bloodlust flared! This boy was a white star and he had to hold himself back from trying to attack because he knew that the guard in front of him was much stronger! If he dared to do something rash then it was possible he would be killed here! The kings had no love for adventurers that traveled from one floor to another! No one would even say anything if he was killed here!
The guard in front of the boy stiffened when he felt a bloodlust directed at him. He looked towards the boy quickly and he shook his head! No way! This boy cannot have this kind of bloodlust! Itâs impossible!
Inside the shadow, Gregory was holding his head in pain because Han has smacked him with his full force for being so stupid! Why did you let out your bloodlust!?
Gregory became angry when he saw what the guard did to the two siblings and he couldnât control himself enough because he let out a bit of his bloodlust and alerted the guard to their presence! Immediately he did it, Han smacked him on the back of his head and made him deactivate it but it was already too late! The guard was already suspicious!
âHey! You there! Get out here this instant! I know youâre in the shadow, Nightwalker!!â
The guard shouted this before telling the other guards behind him to shut down the portal! Han sighed once he saw this. He really thought they would be able to just sneak through this portal as well but it doesnât look like they can do what now. But why the fuck did you even get angry, Gregory! Donât tell me youâre getting soft because of children!! Theyâre white stars! This kind of thing wonât even be enough to make them cry!
Gregory looked away in embarrassment as his King glared at him. He really didnât intend to blow their cover like that! Gregory wasnât used to all of his different emotions yet. The two main emotions he has ever felt were anger and hatred, so when he saw the children being beaten and thrown around he immediately couldnât stop himself from releasing BloodLust because of the anger. He was an idiot!!
Han sighed as the guard shouted again for them to come out! It was obvious that the man wonât let anyone through unless he sees someone coming out from the shadow! So he told Gregory to deactivate his shadow as well and the two men stepped into the open!
They appeared beside someone and the man gasped and took a step back in shock! He didnât even know someone was standing right beside him!? What the fuck!?
Han was glad no one recognized him. Both of them were wearing large black cloaks that covered their entire body as well as their faces. Han was actually a little pissed with himself. He has close to fifty different skills, but he doesnât have a single physical changing skill that can change his face. Bullshit. Once he gets back, thatâs the first thing heâs gonna work on. Maybe heâll kill someone and devour the skill from them? There has to be at least one person with a skill that can change faces.
The two men walked up to the smug guard and the guard chuckled in glee as he felt glad that he caught them. This sort of thing wasnât new to the guard. If not for the fact that he felt that bloodlust he wouldnât have caught them and he knew that it wouldnât be a problem! The kings did not mind allowing strong people into their territory. So if Han and Gregory were strong enough to evade the guard and move to a higher floor then nobody will say anything against it! But the guard just decided to gloat over this small victory. You thought you could evade me like that? Amateurs!
âThought you could fool me, eh? Well. Iâm the best portal guard in the entire realm! Donât even think I wonât notice you worms that keep trying to sneak into higher floors! Iâve caught a hundred of you!â
Han turned to Gregory with a deadpan expression. Look here, you little shit. This is what you made us go through? Gregory chuckled nervously and Han scoffed. Han didnât show it but he was actually finding the entire situation a little funny. He knew Gregory was still young and he wouldnât be able to control his emotions very well, Han didnât hold it against the boy. They just had to get out of this situation first though.
Han stepped forward and the guard had to actually look up as Han stood over him. My god! Just how tall is this man!? Iâm six feet and this man is looking down at me!? He has to be at least 6â6!!
Han looked down at the guard as he spoke.
âCongrats, you caught us. Weâre on our way to floor sixty-three so you can just let us through,â
Hanâs voice was deep and authoritative and the guard felt a little angry that this Nightwalker dared to order him around! Who the hell does he think he is!? Iâve been guarding these gates for three hundred years and this man thinks he can just come and order me around!
âListen here punk,â
Han blinked in surprise. Did this bastard, just call me a punk? The guard was oblivious to what Han was thinking and he continued.
âIf you think youâre getting special treatment because you can fall into the shadow and avoid detection then youâve got another thing coming! If you want to get to floor sixty-three! Then you have to go into floor sixty-one like everyone! Get to the guild! Get your badge! And only then can you go higher! So donât you dare fuck with me or else Iâll make sure you canât even get to floor sixty-one at all!â
Han took a deep breath as he saw the guardâs face turning blue in anger! There was another guard behind the angry one that was trying to get the angry guard to calm down, but the angry guard wouldnât even bother turning around as he ignored his partner! I will never let an adventurer look down on me!
Han took another deep breath. I can kill him! Just one shot! I donât even need any of my strong skills! Just [Mine] would be enough to blow him into another floor!
But Han is going for stealth. I canât just do something like that because they will definitely ask me even more questions later on and word o this might reach Ratte. Han took a deep breath for the third time. He was actually finding it hard to not kill something!
Even though Han and Gregory were wearing large cloaks that covered their entire body they werenât being asked to remove them because they were not the first set of people to come to the portal looking like this. Many adventurers would cover their entire bodies and never show their faces for one reason or the other. The guard didnât care about things like that. So long as you are strong enough to get to the next floor theyâll let you through. Itâs not like you can do anything stupid if you want to leave with your life. Unlike typical kings that are usually seen as weak people, the kings in the temple are supernatural beings! You wonât dare fuck with their territory unless you want to disappear forever!
Han had to agree to go to the sixty-first floor first and the guard huffed as he gave him access to the portal and Han walked through with Gregory. Gregory was still feeling bad about what he did. He really shouldnât have let his emotions get the better of him back there, but Han just told him to let it go. It happens to everyone sometimes!
Gregory couldnât help but feel like Han was holding in a lot of anger though! That guard really pissed him off!
