Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Restrain
Translator: 549690339
The Great Lord’s right lower leg broke completely.
Just as his gigantic body was about to fall.
Sizzles…
The Great Lord’s pores expanded all over his body, wildly releasing the steam that had been accumulated in the mechanical devices inside his body during the battle, naturally mixed in was a deadly plague.
Han Dong shouted, “Winry! Back off quickly…”
Even if Winry’s skin could withstand high temperatures, the steam speckled with a fatal plague could pollute organisms.
Through the infiltration of the steam, once it made contact with the skin, the plague would invade beneath the skin.
Once it entered the blood vessels and spread throughout the body, the corresponding pollution would affect the entire body… Winry would surely be in mortal danger.
Sizzles!
As the high-temperature steam was released with the Great Lord as the center.
Winry managed to pull out successfully.
But outside the area covered by the steam, Han Dong’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
In the steam mixed with black spores (spores are different from ordinary biological cells, they do not lose enzymatic activity due to high temperatures, and the highest temperature they can withstand is 120℃).
Han Dong had no intention of retreating.
The Great Lord’s lower leg was completely destroyed, and even its regeneration was sealed by Winry’s Fire Stone.
Greatly reducing his mobility, this golden opportunity must not be wasted.
He used the ‘Bird Beak Doctor Outfit’ to withstand the high temperature.
As for the black spores in the steam, they could be transformed into plague energy that Han Dong could utilize for himself.
Han Dong could operate under such a plague steam environment without too much restriction, as long as his skin wasn’t scalded, he would be fine.
Who knew.
As it was about to fall due to a loss of balance, the Great Lord managed to stabilize his body at the last moment with the support of his arms and the other leg.
Click, click, click…the gears in the spinal column were spinning at high speed.
Next, an unexpected situation occurred.
In the place where the right leg was broken.
With the release of some kind of steam, it seemed like something was squirming within the wound.
Whoosh!
A series of tentacles grew out.
These were mechanical tentacles with a metallic sheath and internally embedded gear structure.
About seven tentacles grew out from the wound, replacing the broken lower leg and completely stabilizing the body that was leaning downward.
Upon seeing this, Han Dong immediately speculated and inferred.
“The Great Lord lived in the early 19th century. He couldn’t possibly have such mechanical craftsmanship… The modifications to his body must have been made after becoming a “Corpse Eater”, that is, after the Dark Age descended.
I haven’t heard anything from Swollen Doctor or found any experiment related to the Great Lord’s modification in the manor’s research.
This indicates that the Great Lord’s bodily modification has nothing to do with the Swollen Doctor or the scientific research in the grand manor.
So, could the sophisticated mechanical craftsmanship, the embedded unknown metal, and the finely carved barrier patterns inside the Great Lord’s body come from the ‘Old King’ he serves?
By virtue of his long-term service and dedication of sacrifices, he might have received corresponding rewards.
What a hassle.”
The Great Lord, who managed to stand once again caught sight of Han Dong, unaffected by the steam plague.
“You’re not afraid of the steam plague! The ‘Eye’ on your head comes from some higher being… Are you, like me, a human who serves some ‘King’?”
“No…I’m not like you.
You are a dog; I just taught myself. I’ve never served anyone.”
To Han Dong’s provocation, the Great Lord wasn’t angry, but rather excited, “You haven’t served any King? How wonderful, if I kill you, I won’t have any worries.
If I could devour you completely, I might be able to make your ‘Eye’ my possession… At that time, I will be promoted to become a Demon.”
Having said that.
The Great Lord revealed his brutal and savage nature.
Extending his right arm, he unsheathed his claws explosively, and lunged towards Han Dong’s body.
He planned to pierce through and tear Han Dong’s flesh body, leaving only his skull carrying the ‘Eye’.
However, when facing the attacking giant arm and terrifying claw, Han Dong showed no intention of evading.
He actually chose to straighten his ‘G-eye’ enhanced right arm, to take the brunt of the attack head-on!
‘Seeing through’
At the critical moment, Han Dong struck decisively.
Reaching out, he firmly grasped the claw with the potential energy of the arm stimulated by the G virus, and forcefully resisted.
Bang!
Han Dong stepped back about two meters, and bravely endured the Great Lord’s claw strike.
“A lot of steam is being released, your inner power is a bit inadequate, isn’t it?”
Han Dong smiled, and a higher level of Plague Energy was released, which stuck to the claw and reached the internal area of the Great Lord’s fingers.
Han Dong held onto this claw and forcefully yanked!
Swish!
The over a meter-long black claw was ripped out by Han Dong, making the Great Lord shudder in pain and scream terribly.
At the same time.
A burning iron chain shot out from the steam and wrapped around the Great Lord’s finger, cauterizing the wound.
Togu arrived.
Despite his internal injury, Togu showed no intention of stopping, and instead, he revealed a hearty smile through the pain.
His body, fully covered in magma, was not afraid of the Plague Energy steam; spores approaching Togu’s body were burnt away.
“Togu! Use all your strength, pin him down…”
“OK!”
At full power, Togu left footprints of molten lava wherever he stepped.
Using his maximum strength to throw the iron chain…
The thrown chain, like a blade, directly pierced through the unprotected finger of the Great Lord, reaching deep inside the joint.
‘Deep Burn’
The high-temperature magma spread inside his body, causing excruciating pain despite the protection of the metal layer.
Togu held onto the iron chain deeply embedded in the Great Lord’s body with both hands, and temporarily restrained the Great Lord with the dual effects of ‘strength’ and ‘pain’ forcing him to maintain his outstretched arm posture.
Han Dong took the opportunity to move around to the back of the Great Lord, and climbed up his metallic spinal bone to the back of his neck.
He gently placed his right hand on the back of the Great Lord’s head…
Creak creak!
Against a creature that’s almost like a giant, a tentacle one-meter long sprouted from Han Dong’s palm, piercing through the skull.
The spotted tentacle could penetrate anything, even the metallic layer that protects the brain was no exception.
And thus entered deeply into the brain region.
For a moment, the Great Lord’s bean-sized pupils shrank further, completely void of any glint.
“Duo Zeya!!” Han Dong shouted at the top of his voice.
Caw caw caw…The sound of Duo Zeya came from the side, it seemed that he had already completed his task.
The steam dispersed.
“Winry! Let’s hurry up and drag the Great Lord over there.”
Han Dong, Togu, and Winry worked together, exerting their fullest strength to drag the confused Great Lord towards the wall where Duo Zeya was.
Boom!
They made contact with the hidden compartment in the wall.
The wall moved, revealing a tunnel big enough to accommodate the Giant Mother Tube of the Great Lord… a transport passage.
Han Dong stood at the entrance of the tube and shouted again: “Mia!”
Soon after, a response came from the end of the tunnel: “Hurry! I can’t hold out much longer! I’ve extended the Mother’s hibernation time as much as I can. She’ll be awake in five minutes at the most.”
“OK!”
Everyone together pushed the Great Lord into the transport tube… Only one step was left in the plan!
