Chapter 415 Poisonous Gas

Nixon looked up at Gilbert and calmly explained, “I’m down for joining forces… But I’m not

so stupid that I can’t tell you’re just trying to have me scout the path ahead for you.”

The TMAA had lost too many of their fighters.

Any more rash decisions could potentially turn Nixon into the sole survivor.

Gilbert had no choice but to turn to face the remaining hundreds of unaffiliated expert

martial artists.

“You lot! Charge in now!” shouted Gilbert.

The unaffiliated expert martial artists were furious, but they were also unable to retort his

orders

They had arrived in tens of thousands, and all that remained of them now was mere

hundreds.

Charging in at this point would spell the end for all of them.

“What’s this? Are you disobeying me?” asked Gilbert.

The only reason he spared them during the fight earlier was to use them to scout the way

for

him.

Sacrifices had to be made now that the Eldorian Scroll fragment was close at hand.

Both the people of the TMAA and Shadow Gate stepped forward to face the unaffiliated

expert martial artists just as Gilbert finished his question.

The unaffiliated expert martial artists had no other choice but to obey, for they would als

meet certain death otherwise.

They wailed out in despair. They had come looking for the Eldorian Scroll fragment, only to

be used as explorers into unknown traps.

Caspian, however, didn’t feel a shred of pity for them.

Everyone who made it here was doing this out of greed.

He would have dealt with them one way or another even if Gilbert never attempted to

threaten them.

“Let’s go!”

We’ll

till the end!”

The unaffiliated expert martial artists had no other choice but to charge head–first into the

unknown with the expectation of certain death.

They might still have a chance to survive if they ventured forward while staying still would

only end up getting them killed by the TMAA and Shadow Gate.

Another volley of arrows shot out from the walls as the men rushed toward the coffin.

They never stood a chance to begin with.

“Fuck you, TMAA! Fuck you, Shadow Gate! You bastards! I’ll haunt you for the rest of your

lives!”

“Fucking hell, these people are heartless.”

“I don’t wanna die!”

“It hurts!”

Blood–curdling screams rang out within the tomb once more.

None made it out alive as they joined the corpses on the floor.

Both Nixon and Gilbert remained calm as ever as they saw the men they had forced into

the trap as nothing but fodders.

They pitied their efforts for trying to retrieve the Eldorian Scroll fragment when they were

so weak.

The weak should fear the strong. That was simply the rule.

The weaker martial artists had no say in the matter and ended up in a pool of blood on the

floor.

The tomb seemingly became hell on earth as the entire area around the coffin was flowing

with blood.

Caspian lamented at the terrible sight as he reassured himself with the task of obtaining

the Eldorian Scroll fragment.

Be it the TMAA or Shadow Gate, so long as they were a danger to the citizens of Diatoran,

he would eradicate them without mercy.

Gilbert snorted. “Bunch of losers!”

He was disappointed with how weak the men he had sent into

the tran were.

Shadow Gate would employ all sorts of tricks to achieve their goal.

Sacrificing some insignificant people was an acceptable action so long as he could retrieve

the Eldorian Scroll fragment.

Gilbert felt that it was unfortunate that they never managed to open the coffin before they

died.

“Fabian! Bring 50 men with you and open the coffin!” ordered Gilbert.

Fabian nodded his head without a choice. “Yes, sir!”

He had already surrendered his life to Shadow Gate the moment he joined them as an

official

member.

He had to obey Gilbert’s every whim, or he would end up with a fate worse than death.

Fabian proceeded to carry out the order and charged forward with 50 other Shadow Gate

members.

They approached the coffin and found it difficult to even stand still due to all the corpses

littering the floor.

The accompanying smell of blood made them feel nauseous.

These men had long been accustomed to death, but they couldn’t help but be disgusted

at the gruesome sight before them.

Fabian led the charge as he carefully stepped forward.

No more traps sprung up, and they finally reached the coffin itself.

Gilbert held his breath in anticipation as any more traps would kill off Fabian along with

hist men. Their bodies would make it difficult to open up the coffin.

“Open it up!” ordered Fabian.

Dozens of Shadow Gate members were getting ready to push the coffin open.

At the same time, Fabian stealthily took a few steps back.

He was similarly afraid of death, just like everyone else.

The stone coffin was gradually pushed open with the combined effort of the dozens of

Shadow

Gate members.

Everyone looked over with anticipation.

Caspian also began to panic. “Mr. Stewart Senior…”

Xandros reassured him, saying, “Relax, getting the Eldorian Scroll fragment wouldn’t be so

easy.

Caspian was convinced as he knew that Xandros wouldn’t play around with his ancestor’s

+15 BONUS

The coffin was finally pushed open.

Everyone present would go into a frenzy once they could confirm that the Eldorian Scroll

fragment had appeared.

The coffin’s lid was thrown aside, and it crashed directly to the floor.

“Charge!”

“I’ll reward whoever gets the scroll fragment with five hundred million dollars!”

The people of the TMAA instantly rushed toward the coffin.

“Secure the Eldorian Scroll fragment first!” shouted Nixon.

‘Protect Fabian at all costs!”

Gilbert was also about to make a move.

Nixon took a step forward and blocked his way. “Where are you going, Mr. Shane?”

Their cooperation ended the moment the Eldorian Scroll fragment appeared.

Gilbert’s expression sank as he looked at Nixon. “Nixon, do you wish to die?”

He never saw Nixon as anything but a competitor.

The only victor in this race was the one that acquired the Eldorian Scroll fragment.

And Gilbert wouldn’t let anything hold him back!

Suddenly, dark green–colored smoke rose up from within the coffin.

Dozens of Shadow Gate’s members were covered by the strange smoke in an instant.

“Argh! My eyes!”

“My face hurts!”

“Save me! Save me, please!”

They began to cry out for help as they screamed in pain.

The dark green–colored smoke contained lethal polson that would melt the skin off of who

came into contact with it.

anyone

The affected Shadow Gate men clawed all over their bodies as if trying to scratch off an

itch.

They would eventually tear bloody chunks of flesh off their own faces.

+15 BONUS

The crowd watched in horror as these people resembled demons from hell.

The poisoned men took off their masks, revealing their faces.

Every single one of them had hideous faces filled with scars.

Fabian was startled by the scene unfolding before him and hurriedly backed away.

If he were a second slower, he would have succumbed to the same fate as well.

Blood–curdling screams rose and fell as they echoed throughout the entire tomb.

Dozens of Shadow Gate men eventually collapsed onto the floor.

The skin on their body had already melted off.

The people of the TMAA and Shadow Gate who were about to rush toward the coffin had

all frozen up in fear.

“What the hell happened?”

Gilbert felt immense guilt as he watched his own men die in such a horrifying way.

The tomb was filled with traps upon traps that took everyone by surprise.

Fabian knelt down before Gilbert and pleaded, “I’m sorry I failed, Mr. Shane!”

He would’ve also perished if he hadn’t selfishly taken a few steps back in preparation

when the coffin was being opened.

Dozens of Shadow Gate members died in less than a minute from the tomb’s traps.

Fabian could only wonder how Gilbert would punish him for his incompetence.
