ARC 10 : SENTINEL & GUIDE

Chapter 128

TL: Sarah

Seeing Shang Ke nearly collapse due to the painful memories, everyone outside monitoring the situation felt a little anxious and sympathetic. At this point, they finally put to rest their doubts and truly accepted the guide who had experienced many hardships.

Yonis took Shang Ke back to the ward, held his hand tightly and stood quietly beside him.

Shang Ke’s whole being felt empty. His mental suffering was a hundred times more painful than his physical one. Zeder’s remaining memories were like volcanoes. Under the stimulation of hypnosis, they burst out suddenly and engulfed Shang Ke’s spirit, making him relive his miserable childhood with him.

Shang Ke couldn’t understand why anyone can be so cruel. That man had no pity for his own child and he expressed his anger, unwillingness and grievances with reality in the form of violence. He not only brought Zeder physical harm but mental oppression as well.

Were it not for Shang Ke’s strong mental power, he most likely would have been affected by Zeder and become psychologically twisted as well, or even falling into complete madness.

After an unknown period of time, Shang Ke slowly woke up from his sleep. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, his brain was clear and bright as if the dust accumulated for many years had suddenly been swept away. Perhaps after venting, Zeder could finally be at peace.

“Shang Ke.”  A low voice spoke by Shang Ke’s ear, interrupting his thoughts.

Shang Ke turned his head and saw a handsome man sitting by the bed, staring at him intently.

Shang Ke’s eyes slowly moved down and fell on their intertwined hands.

He introduced himself, “My name is Yonis.”

Shang Ke caught a glimpse of a lion chasing Waves beside him and he guessed that this man was the sentinel who communicated with him through his spirit guide on the day of the terrorist attack.

“I’m very sorry. We hypnotized you in order to confirm your identity and the result almost caused you a mental breakdown.” Yonis was deeply remorseful and wished he could bear all of it for him instead.

Shang Ke looked at him in silence.

“However, the suspicion on you has been completely cleared. In the future, you will be a legal citizen of the country with a high-level identity card and you’ll enjoy all the benefits that a guide should have.” Yonis placed Shang Ke’s hand on his chest and declared in an indisputable tone, “and I, Yonis, will be the sentinel responsible for protecting you in the future.”

Shang Ke didn’t receive any information about Yonis from the system and he didn’t know who the “main character” of the world was. However, he knew that this man was one of the only three Dark Sentinels in Biyashi to reach rank “A”. The so-called Dark Sentinels were the most powerful of all sentinels because they had extreme self-control and strong physique. In theory, they didn’t need the help of a guide and they had always been the kings of every era.

Rank A Dark Sentinels were more powerful than ordinary Rank S sentinels.  However, “Rank A” was the bottleneck of Dark Sentinels. In the history of Biyashi, there have been many signs of Dark Sentinels attempting to advance. But as a result, they either became handicapped due to failure or self-destructed because of a rebellion in the spirit. Their ability of self-control was always on the verge of danger after reaching Rank A.

Later, it was speculated that if Rank A Dark Sentinels wanted to successfully breakthrough their bottleneck, they had to find a guide with a spiritual compatibility of more than 90% and they also had to be able to withstand their strong physical desire and mental impact.
