Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Land Deed
Translator: 549690339
Gurgle gurgle!
The transfer pipe squirms.
The Swollen Doctor as quickly as possible, moves from the ‘Imitation Main Hall’ in the Ghoul Factory district to the actual main hall of the castle.
“Doctor, we’ve been waiting for you… How are things?”
As Han Dong asked this question, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
After all, looking at the recent fight, the Great Lord is also a person of careful thoughts.
“Everything went smoothly. Due to the lack of ‘brain fluid’ for a long time, combined with the influence of various external factors, the Great Lord didn’t recognize the problem in real time.
Following your plan, Messenger, we have successfully acquired the information of the ‘treasure trove’.”
“Where is it?”
The Swollen Doctor, is unusually loyal to Han Dong, who is the ‘Messenger’.
He quickly squirms his lower body towards the stone seat. While moving, he carries his huge head with both hands to avoid accidentally injuring his neck.
He presses the hidden button inside the stone seat.
Rumbling!
At the base of the stone seat, a whole five layers of heavy stone slabs descend one by one, revealing the secret passage to the ‘treasure trove’, its width allows only the Great Lord to pass.
“I just guessed it’s in here. The Great Lord spends his days sitting on the stone seat and not getting up for several years… The treasure trove must be related to the stone seat!
Hurry up! Even if Johnny’s team is assisting the Ghoul Army, they may not hold up for long.
Togu, Chen Li, you guys go back and recuperate.
Miss Winry, it’s up to you now!”
“Okay!”
Since the two containment objects are protecting Winry all the time during the decisive battle with the Great Lord, Winry almost didn’t get hurt. For Winry, the physical exhaustion was nothing.
As Winry was staring at the Swollen Doctor, who had a face of loyalty, she couldn’t guess what the deputy squad leader’s was.
“Messenger, shall I go down with you?”
“No…you need to find a place to hide. Once I obtain the ‘Land Deed’ and change the owner’s name, you will take over this manor.
If you go down with me and there is a need to escape, I might not be able to take care of you.”
“Understood! I’ll withdraw for now and wait for the good news from you!”
The Swollen Doctor withdrew.
Han Dong quickly entered the secret passage with Winry.
They advanced deep into the pitch-black secret passage with only a kerosene lamp. Before long, a black stone door with a heavy aura blocked their way.
The dark gold mark- ‘Withered Arm’ on the stone door looked very familiar.
Han Dong has seen such marks more than once in the manor, symbolizing the mark of a certain ‘Old King’.
The stone door has no lock hole, and seems to require a special way to open it.
Han Dong reached out without hesitation and made contact with the dark gold mark…Due to the contact with the foreign object, terrifying withered arms immediately emerged from the mark, reaching for Han Dong.
“Break for me!!”
Han Dong glared with the little demon eye, restraining these filthy arms.
At the same, he brought out the ‘Book of Dead Spirit – Eye Manuscript’, and drew an array on the stone door surface, through speckled tentacles that grew from the palm of his hand, to absorb the contamination.
When the array was completed.
The array immediately cancelled the dark gold mark on the surface of the door body.
Boom!
Han Dong was blown out more than two meters away, a trace of blood remained at the corner of his mouth…The tentacles inside his body were damaged to a certain extent.
“Deputy squad leader!”
“Don’t worry about me! I have already broken the seal on the door, next it’s up to you, Miss Winry. We need you to use all your strength to forcefully push open the locked stone door.
We have to open it no matter what, or else we’ll all die here.”
“Okay! I’ll definitely do it.”
Recalling the previous battle scene where Han Dong, regardless of danger, climbed onto the Great Lord’s body in order to save her… Winry clenched her teeth and first tried to push heavy treasury stone door, finding it difficult to budge.
“Deputy leader, please make sure to take me out later… I may lose my strength and fall into a long period of weakness.”
“Sure.”
Winry’s gaze was unusually calm, as if she was about to play her ace card.
She took out a red potion from the inner layer of a giant backpack.
This potion came from Winry’s teacher.
It was supposed to be used when her life was threatened… Once consumed, it will have a significant effect on the body, followed by a period of weakness for more than half an hour.
The potion was consumed.
Han Dong, who was just standing up from the ground, instinctively stepped back because he sensed danger
“What is this?”
An unimaginable force field spread from under Winry’s feet, and her fiery red hair was glowing.
When she pressed her hand, she directly left two palm prints on the surface of the stone door…
With Winry’s full force…
Cracking sounds of fragmentation continued to echo as the stones shattered, even causing slight trembling in the whole secret tunnel.
The stone door itself was a kind of embedded structure, completely connected with the secret tunnel.
In the end, the thick stone door was forcefully cracked open by Winry revealing a crevice. Along with a hole smashed open by a sledgehammer, the ‘Manor Treasury’ was revealed.
Han Dong was not interested in the gold and silver treasures stored inside at all.
Taking advantage of the fact that the drug effect in Winry’s body had not yet subsided, he broke through the three layers of protection inside the treasury and arrived at the round room at the deepest part of the treasury.
The final target of Han Dong’s plan, the ‘Land Deed’, was placed on the central circular platform.
The deed was inscribed with weird characters that humans could not recognize and would even cause visual pollution… but Han Dong’s Little Demon Eye could understand it.
The final signature [M.O.] stands out sharply.
After carefully observing that there were no traps set up in the final treasure room, Han Dong covered his palm with tentacles and picked up the ‘Land Deed’ in the safest manner possible.
At the moment of contact, a sharp sense of pain flashed through.
At the same time.
The Great Lord in the Fake Main Hall felt a sharp pain shooting through his brain.
This feedback represents that the ‘Contract’ has been stolen by others.
The original large lord who was fighting the Ghoul Great Lord, suddenly halted.
His soybean-like eyes became dull, both arms drooped down, just standing there numbly, letting the Ghoul Army crawl all over his body, gnawing at his flesh.
The Great Lord mumbled in his mouth: “The lost land deed is unforgivable, I, Duilio Stuart, have disappointed you, my master.
I am not qualified to become a [Demon], I am not qualified to guard this land, and I am not qualified to continue serving you.
But we must not let this land that belongs to you, master, fall into the hands of others.
Master, I will use my body as a medium to greet your arrival.”
Whoosh!!
The Great Lord pierced his own chest with his claw and split it open, activating the sacrificial mark imprinted within him.
All the Ghouls climbing over the Great Lord’s body are affected by the sacrificial array and are slowly sucked into it.
The Great Lord himself was also devoured by the sacrificial vortex generated within his body during this process…
For a moment.
All the Night Watchers wandering within the manor’s territory and all the knights of the Behemoth Knight Group produced a palpitation.
Something is coming…
