Chapter 114A Senior's Kindness Yet to Be Repaid

"You… you're insane!"

The dog's fur bristled, and its three-inch body nearly bounced onto Lucy's upturned nose. "According to the laws of the Realm of Death, unless the Realm of Life offers a sacrifice, not even the Seven Gods may interfere with souls—"

Wait!

Before finishing the sentence, Fenrir abruptly fell silent.

It turned its head toward the Styx—weren’t these souls just sacrificed to the Death God, the Sleeper?

Besides, strictly speaking, the laws of the Realm of Death couldn’t truly bind Lucy. After all, she wasn’t a being of the death side.

As for what displeasure the Sleeper might feel from her preemptively consuming the sacrifices—that was a problem for later., the waiting wizards immediately swarmed around.

"What’s the situation at the Gate of the Dead?"

"Can we still pass through it to return to the Wizard Continent?"

"When are we setting off—"

Their questions poured out all at once, but then they suddenly noticed Lucy now held a three-inch-long white puppy in her hand, while the high-ranking wizard who had rowed looked extremely awkward.

Everyone’s hearts sank—had something changed in the plan?

"We did run into some trouble," Lucy said gravely. "Although the Gatekeeper, Fenrir, has been dealt with, the Gate of the Dead has been sealed off by Chief Arbiter Zoe..."

She recounted everything she had seen and heard in detail, and the group instantly fell silent.

Lucy raised the white pup in her hand. "This is the soul projection of the Gatekeeper, Fenrir."

The pup bared its teeth and lifted its head, seemingly trying to appear more divine, but its palm-sized body lacked any real presence.

As for fear of so-called gods…

Fear was simply a creature’s instinctive response to the unknown. What wizards strove for throughout their lives was to strip away that fear and unveil the unknown to all.

To these official wizards, so-called “gods” were nothing more than more powerful life forms.

Thus, upon learning that this was one of the Old Gods, the expressions on their faces showed not fear but curiosity.
