Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Facing the Great Lord
Translator: 549690339
Ka-ka-ka…
Each time the old elevator descended a certain distance, the sound of mechanical gears jamming could be heard.
With such a slow descent speed, it would take some time to reach the first floor from the top of the castle… enough time for Han Dong and Winry to prepare.
Of course, with the lower of the elevator, subtle but different breaths began to diffuse from the lower end, causing Winry to bite her lip slightly, looking a bit nervous.
She had never thought that her first training would end up in a head-on conflict with the boss.
“Vice captain…speaking of, we’ve offended the Blood Knight. He’ll definitely trouble us in the future.”
“How much trouble can it be? Would he dare to take action within the academy? Don’t overthink… They were the ones who started this in the first place.”
Han Dong didn’t take this matter to heart at all. If these people really wanted to cause trouble afterwards, Mr. Black White would help to handle it.
Moreover.
In terms of individual strength, Han Dong didn’t fear anything.
“Winry, take out all the equipment you replicated in the ‘Blacksmith’s Area’.”
“Okay.”
The same equipment conditions as Johnny’s meat shield warrior team were one by one taken out from the giant backpack…
“Vice captain, don’t tell me we need to wear these unremarkable fake equipment to fight the Lord?”
“That’s right,” Han Dong nodded calmly.
“Ah… Why? This equipment can only provide basic defense, it’s totally useless.”
“There’s no reason, just do as I say.”
“Okay…”
After saying this.
Two completely different auras appeared.
Dang dang!
The dragging of chains on the ground accompanied the floating flame core. Togu Gonzales appeared.
At the same time, a red-haired woman with floating black hair had gently placed her hand on Han Dong’s shoulder… Just the gaze from under the black hair scared Winry into sitting down and shivering.
“Miss Chen Li, don’t scare her.”
“Mmm…”
The evil aura was restrained.
Chen Li effortlessly tied her hair into a ponytail with a hair tie, revealing a slightly thin delicate face.
Because of the refinement of the ‘Evil Bead’, Chen Li became an ‘Evil Cultivator,’ which correspondingly extended her life… As a result, she also looked much younger.
She looked like a woman who had just entered the workplace.
As the aura of fear from Chen Li died away, Winry slowly calmed down.
“So beautiful… Are you from the east?
The master told me that the world is vast… In the eastern ‘Dragon City,’ there live a group of eastern people with black hair and yellow skin.
Plus, the warriors in ‘Dragon City’ have strong combat abilities.”
Chen Li doesn’t understand English, so Han Dong answered for her: “Yes, Miss Chen Li is from the east… She comes from a civilized, harmonious, wealthy, democratic, and technologically advanced country.”
Han Dong’s description was not exaggerated. Being able to survive in such an apocalypse in the form of ‘Dragon City’ revealed that even in this parallel world, his country was very strong.
“Wow!”
“Alright… The elevator is about to reach the ‘Main Hall.’ Everyone, put on the corresponding equipment quickly.”
Togu’s height and build allowed him to fit in Johnny’s armored gear well.
Chen Li wore a cloak and carried the longbow on her back, impersonating the beast-eared Senior Sister from the team.
The ‘Flame Mage – Leopold Henry’ and ‘Cleric Mage – Lawrence Hebon,’ were all dressed in robes that covered their whole bodies, inside they wore metal soft armor.
Han Dong and Winry just needed to put on similar robes, hide their faces with a hood to complete the basic disguise. There wouldn’t be any problem.
By this time, Winry still couldn’t figure out the purpose of the vice-captain’s actions.
Ka…
Reaching the bottom level.
With their gear equipped, the four of them truly resembled an adventure team from a fantasy animation – a warrior, an archer, a mage, and a priest.
They officially stepped into the main hall of the ancient castle where the final boss of this training exercise was located.
The moment they stepped off the elevator, an invisible pressure emanated from the central stone seat.
Looking from the entrance of the elevator.
They could vaguely see a gigantic black human silhouette lying on the stone seat.
There were no guards here, nor any family executives… only the Great Lord.
With the light emitted from the skull candles on the eight giant stone pillars, the group walked down the hallway of the main hall to the stone seat.
Han Dong had already seen the ‘messy state’ of the Great Lord, so he wasn’t particularly surprised.
Just like yesterday, a large number of infusion tubes were connected to the Great Lord’s body, maintaining his physical condition.
The yellow soybean-sized pupils stared at the group that had come to his door, showing no signs of anger.
“You managed to avoid surveillance and arrived at the [main hall] before most of the intruders…you indeed have some skills.
Since you are here, it means that Barbara has been killed by you.
She was a very good private housekeeper, with potential to reach my heights given continual grooming… You killing her, is indeed a bit of a pity.”
The Great Lord’s words did not carry much anger, but rather a sense of regret for Barbara’s death.
“Since you’re here, let me stretch my muscles a bit.”
Click, click, click…
The gear device embedded in his spine started to rotate slowly, supporting the Great Lord as he switched from a lying to a sitting position.
White hair hung over the surface of his bone armor.
He first reached behind his head.
Swipe!
The tube feeding a pale pink liquid into his brain was pulled out…
Immediately after, the Great Lord’s muscles bulged, and by pure muscle contraction, he pushed out the small tubes that were inserted between his muscles.
Using his hands to hold the stone seat, and the gear device between his spine to assist, he gradually stood upright.
If you calculate the time, the Great Lord hadn’t gotten up and stood from the stone seat for a year.
A towering five-meter-tall sturdy body, wild waist-length white hair, the terrifying layer of bone armor, the meter-long claws, and the suppressing and foul aura radiating from the Great Lord’s body.
None of these could be matched by a family executive.
The Giant Ghoul, Duilio Stuart.
The final boss of this training exercise. Once killed, and if his severed head was brought back to town, the field training will be successfully concluded… The team that kills the Great Lord will get a unique reward.
However…the difficulty was naturally high.
Even for a character like the Blood Knight Lucius, he would ensure that his team was at full strength before daring to approach the [main hall].
“Young humans, come and challenge me, Duilio.”
Togu couldn’t wait any longer.
Chains sprouted from the gaps in his armor, dragging on the ground… he swung his arms forcefully, lashing the blazing chains fiercely at the Great Lord’s body.
Clang!
Sparks flew!
As Han Dong had observed, the bone armour growing on the Great Lord’s body was terrifying…it was practically indestructible.
The Great Lord waved his hand.
Unexpectedly…
This gargantuan body, which required medicinal supplements, possessed an unexpected speed.
When his palm swung at Togu, Togu didn’t have the time to dodge.
Crash!
In a blink of an eye, Togu was slapped away, his body embedding itself more than ten meters away in the wall.
