After a moment, he scrambled to his feet, stumbling as he ran off to report the situation.

The gatekeeper was stunned.
The leader... was laughing?
However, given the circumstances, it wasn't surprising.
The gatekeeper had never imagined that the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth, after deploying nearly its entire force, would suffer such devastation.
