Chapter 1345 "Cerberus"
Chapter 1345 "Cerberus"
The Centaurs came quite close to the celestials' place, and they scared the celestials to death.
If these Centaurs attacked them…they would also be in trouble!
But surprisingly, the Centaurs didn't bother the celestials and only went around on parade, as if completing a ritual of the gate summoning.
After a full ten minutes of parade, the Centaurs left the celestials and hid among clouds once more, just like the Harpies.
The three strange creatures that came out one by one were gone, but the strange noises and cries from the metal gate below them were still there.
Of course, after the marshal and the generals saw the three creatures' sudden appearance, they finally believed that what floated in front of their eyes was the actual Underworld Gate.
Upon realizing this, the marshal immediately looked at the elder in charge of communication and spoke in a softer voice.
"What do we do now? Since that gate might be the real gate of the underworld...is there anything we can do?"
They still didn't know who summoned the gate, but the lower-level celestials said that the gate came out of a huge black panther that was suspected to be a sacred beast.
Could it be this was the blood clan's trump card?
In the past wars, they had never seen someone summoning the real gate of the underworld, and this meant they didn't know what kind of danger the gate would bring!
The elder was more knowledgeable about this matter and immediately told the marshal all the things he knew about the gate of the underworld.
"I think we should not worry for the time being. As long as the gate is not opened, nothing will happen. And I heard that..."
The elder paused before recalling the information he had read in ancient books.
"The Gate of the Underworld won't be opened for the living, and it also won't be opened for the dead."
Well, there were other versions saying that the living could come in, but the dead couldn't come out of the gate.
"There should be the guardian of the Underworld Gate, the king of the underworld's favorite pet."
This guardian was a hound with three heads— Cerberus.
"Look at the pillars in front of the gate and the area around the gate."
"There's no Cerberus...this means no one can open the gate to suck the living beings into the gate."
It was even more impossible for Cerberus to let the dead come out of the Underworld Gate.
What they should be worried about was the possibility of being dragged alive into the gate.
The moment they entered the gate, they would die for real because only the dead could enter.
A few celestials captured alive weren't a problem for their group of celestials since they still had the convenient In Weal and Woe skill.
But if a lot of them were sucked into the gate...this skill that abandoned a dead comrade to save the others would definitely be useless!
The marshal sighed in relief, but he still looked at the enormous black panther not far from the gate itself.
His intuition told him that the black panther was problematic.
"What about the one who summoned the gate? That black panther...if they can't use the gate effectively, what's the use of summing such a fate?"
It's impossible to summon the real Gate of the Underworld just to scare them, right?
He bet that the price the summoner had to pay to summon this gate was huge!
Everyone basically knew that Cerberus was the official guardian of the underworld gate, but Bello had the blood of the underworld's guardian.
He wasn't just the guardian of the gate but also the guardian of the underworld!
Of course, unless he became a legendary beast, he wasn't worthy of mentioning this title, but he was more or less qualified to summon the gate.
And since he had already summoned the gate...
Bello calmly trotted to the enormous gate in front of him that reduced his size to just being a guardian dog in front of someone's door or something.
Still, the cat lazily moved his legs and paws, walking elegantly in the air and stepping onto the small stairs in front of the gate.
The moment Bello's paws touched the small stairs, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the gate, sitting on its two back legs like a trained guardian dog.
The creature's size was several times bigger than Bello, making Bello in his beast form look like the creature's little son.
The gate was already tall, but the creature that suddenly appeared out of thin air was as tall as a third of the gate's overall height!
The creature's sudden appearance almost gave the celestials a heart attack, and even the marshal almost got a cardiac arrest.
Hidden behind the mist, fog, and dust around the gate, the creature's appearance was unclear, but the silhouette alone could tell them a lot of things.
The creature behind the cold smoke and the flickering blue fire balls floating in the air had the silhouette of a dog, a kind of ferocious one.
The body was huge and sturdy, exposing the tight muscles of a vicious hound.
The sound of water dripping into the stairs could be heard vaguely in the background, followed by an occasional grunting noise.
GRRRRR.
The low roar was full of threat, and the figure behind the smoke slowly moved.
The head of the creature was unnatural and there were as many as three heads!
One faces the left, one faces the right, and one faces the front.
However, at this time, all three heads silently turned around and looked at the front.
They were looking at Bello.
