Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Unexpected Disappearance
Translator: 549690339
Han Dong had seen the caliber of a Formal Knight before.
The Holy Knights Group, Vino Silist.
Under the circumstances of holy fire attached to its chained mace, Silist could easily kill a ghoul like this…however, Silist’s position was as a team support, with both attack and defence combined.
Owing to their numerous collaborations.
Han Dong had even already simulated within his brain what Knight Vino would do when faced with a cursed giant ghoul like this.
She would execute a powerful Combo.
“Shield Counter” and “Chained Mace Heavy Strike”, directly assassinate the target.
But if that were the case, Han Dong could try to make a move during the Shield Counter process and snatch a kill.
However…the knight this time was the Night Watch Jon.
His positioning was that of a “Close Combat Assassin”.
There was no time for a response, as the target was directly killed.
If Han Dong didn’t have the support of the Little Demon Eye, he wouldn’t be able to clearly see the detailed actions… it seemed that Knight Jon should rank somewhere in the upper middle tier of the Behemoth Knight Group.
To snatch kills from such an assassin, some effort would be required.
Abe also captured Jon’s actions through Beast Vision, giving off a thoughtful expression…
Turn left.
Go straight.
Turn left.
The labyrinth-like route design, the roads on both sides are tightly arranged by the membrane device, there is no gap at all, 100% of the space is used… Han Dong pointed out the direction every time they reached a fork.
During the journey, Han Dong also encountered some problems.
For instance, when they passed a group of empty-looking cellular membranes.
A red and white clown suddenly appeared inside the membrane, waving and saying hello, producing a bizarre laughter that only Han Dong could hear.
Furthermore.
When encountering ghoul patrollers later on.
Han Dong gave it his all.
“Little Demon Eye” + “Plague Control”
Directly made the ghouls standing several meters away go still, to prevent Knight Jon from killing them.
Just as Han Dong was deploying the Little Demon Eye.
White vapor emanated from Abe’s body into the shape of a wolf’s head, speed dramatically increased, and he rushed forward to confront the enemy.
Cooperating with Han Dong’s vision interference, the ghoul was killed within a short time… A claw was used to tear out the heart and then crush it.
Moreover, under the pretext of performing an experiment in Mysticism, Han Dong openly used a syringe to extract the “Cell Essence” for future use.
About this point, Han Dong had also personally asked Mr. Black White, who stated that it was normal to conduct experiments, Han Dong just needed to play it cool and not arouse suspicion.
Like this, the group kept delving deeper.
The scale of the nest was a lot larger than Han Dong imagined… It wasn’t just a single-layer structure.
Mostly turning left.
In addition to the downward slope of the passage, there was also a certain degree of curvature.
This meant, there was a sense of a “spiral staircase,” continually leading to the underground area.
Han Dong even projected the overall structure of the “Ghoul Factory” based on the path they had traveled. It was an enormous underground system, with a multi-layered administration structure, capable of producing tens of thousands of ghouls each year.
It was unimaginable that the Great Lord, who was still at the level of World War I, could build such an underground region.
“Thirteen…”
A green-skinned ghoul fell to the ground, Abe couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
After such continuous high-intensity bursts, Abe had lost a significant amount of stamina… but the current kill count hadn’t reached halfway yet.
Moreover, the further they ventured, the more ghoul patrollers there were. Sometimes they couldn’t go straight in the direction Han Dong judged, they had to deliberately circumvent some parts of the path.
“Here.”
Under Han Dong’s leadership, they arrived at a dead end.
Just standing at the intersection, you could feel the pollution index skyrocketing, forcing Abe to take a Tranquilizing Potion formulated by Mia to increase his resistance to it.
At the end of the cul-de-sac, pollution oozed out of cracks in the wall like a liquid.
Swinging in mid-air were some unevenly sized, ink-green tentacles… even the ghoul larvae in the surrounding membranes were showing signs of mutation.
“Well done! According to the test results, there are only two more ‘pollution dead points’ left in the nest, and I didn’t expect one of them to be here underneath us.
Our Knight Regiment didn’t discover these death spots when setting up the ‘base camp’ in the early stage, they must have appeared recently.
I will take over the task of sealing, and all you need to do is wait quietly on the side.”
Night Watchman Jon gave Han Dong a glance of appreciation.
At the same time, he firmly believed a principle.
When the knight’s investigative squadron leaves town, a mystery scholar should always be included… their role, with their observation and perception abilities, can’t be replaced.
He removes the Night Watchman coat.
Knight Jon touched a special little metallic square on his waist.
Precise hexagonal pieces of black armour adhered to Jon’s body, growing and spreading.
Covering all vital areas of the body, perfectly conforming to the contours of the body, adapting to any movement.
“Epic-level, full-body fate equipment!”
This set of ‘Black Source Armor’ was earned by Jon a few months ago through a significant number of points exchange after entering the Fate Space.
Completely resisting pollution was a straightforward task, and it could handle any battle.
Jon dived towards the location of the dead point, using some special Night Watch tools to corrode the tentacles, and used the wall’s blockage to erase the dead point.
This process naturally needed some time.
Abe was closely watching this process, trying to get a clear look at the method of sealing the dead point, just in case.
Moreover, Abe also longed to possess such adaptive armor that would complement his ‘Hundred Beasts Power’.
“Knight Jon is really powerful… He should be considered a veteran within the Knights’ Regiment. If he was determined to compete with us for the kill, it would be impossible to achieve our kill target.”
Just then.
As the theoretical observation range of the ‘Little Demon Eye’ could reach 360°.
Han Dong standing at the intersection suddenly turned his head, looking back at the passage… Just in time to catch a fleeting dark shadow.
“A ghoul… The figure of the shadow seems to be on the smaller side. Is it a special species? In order to complete this ‘Night Watch Event’, it’s necessary to kill a Variant Ghoul.”
Since the current area was heavily polluted, Han Dong did not call Abe, who was carefully watching the process of sealing the dead point.
He headed alone to where the shadow had flickered…
It took a full five minutes.
The pollution ‘dead point’ was thoroughly sealed, and the pollution index in the nest area also dropped a lot… the rest just needed to be handled by other Night Watchmen.
The Raven student was instrumental in finding the dead point so quickly.
Jon planned to take the two young people around a bit more here below, and once enough ghouls were killed, he would let them pass the Night Watchman task.
However…
“Where did student Nicholas go?”
“Strange, I don’t know when he left…” Abe was stumped.
Before the dead point was sealed, a vast amount of pollution filled the tunnel.
Abe had to concentrate all his energy to resist it, and with his attention firmly on the dead point area, he had not noticed Han Dong’s movements behind him.
“Find him quickly! Once lost here, even a top-tier third-year student can hardly survive.”
After a period of cooperation, Knight Jon fully recognized Han Dong.
This student of the Crow Prophet was very promising. Considering the regret of losing such a potential, Jon wanted to keep the student safe…
However, Han Dong had already been lured deeper in.
