Actually.
During their recent contact at the back of his head, Han Dong had a chance to kill the Great Lord.
But the Great Lord couldn’t die.
If Han Dong were to deduct from all the information he’d obtained so far, even if the Knight Regiment had set up the “Giant Ghoul – Lord Stuart” as the final BOSS for the current training session.
It doesn’t mean that he was the real lord of the mansion.
In Han Dong’s estimation, the actual authority here should belong to the mysterious mother body in the nest.
The Great Lord, in essence, was merely one of the essential spouses of the mother body… The reason why the Great Lord had to take large amounts of drugs every day to support his ‘fragile’ body was due to excessive breeding.
If Han Dong were to kill the Great Lord, the mother body would likely be provoked into fury.
Below are the two probable outcomes to follow.
The first possibility is the “Mother Body’s Rampage”: Behemoth Knight Group would initiate a public mission shared by the whole squadron, requiring everyone to collaborate in killing the mother body and purifying the mansion.
The second possibility is the “Knight Regiment’s Intervention”: The Knight Regiment would directly intervene, dealing with the mother body and concluding the training.
Regardless of the scenario, it would be unfavorable for Han Dong who wanted to steal the “land deed”.
Han Dong needed to successfully steal the “land deed” before the end of the training and without disturbing the mother body.
Also.
The tentacle power Han Dong controlled at the present time wasn’t enough to extract memories directly from the Great Lord’s brain… All Han Dong could do was to make the Great Lord enter a temporary period of mental stagnation.
This stagnation period was very crucial.
Visuals switched.
The team led by the meat shield warrior Johnny.
With the map provided by Han Dong and according to Han Dong’s instructions, they had made their way to the core area of the “Ghoul Factory” through the hidden descending passage on the first floor of the castle.
Because Han Dong had already informed the Swollen Doctor.
Johnny and the rest faced no obstacles on their path. Only a few ghouls came out to interfere as a sign of respect.
Following the route marked on the map by Han Dong, Johnny’s team continued progressing through the secret passage, eventually arriving at a spacious hall area.
Eight load-bearing stone columns and skull candles were used for lighting.
A giant stone seat was positioned in the center of the hall.
The stone columns were shabby and broken in certain areas, and the wall still had the outline of a human figure. Fragments of stones scattered across the ground… It was like it had been through battle.
Johnny surveyed the empty main hall, “Didn’t that newbie say there would be a high-ranking officer here? Michelle, can you sense their presence?”
Beast-Ear Girl shook her head. She had already activated the ‘Beast Eye’, but she couldn’t detect any living creatures at all.
She squatted down, reaching out to touch one of the scattered stones on the ground.
“This is strange! This hall seems like it has been built not long ago, and these battle marks also look man-made… as if it was deliberately arranged to look like a scene after an intense battle.”
“What does that kid mean?”
Just then.
Guggugug! The parrot hanging on Beast-Ear Girl’s waist kept making noises, signaling danger.
Boom!
An extreme mechanical stone wall in the great hall autonomously opened.
Inside was a giant meat passage.
“It must be the high-ranking officer the kid was referring to!
Everyone, prepare for battle! Once we can kill a crucial officer in the undead nest, we will surely gain a lot of points.”
Johnny took his most potent defensive position, got ready to take a hit upfront, and created the best space for his teammates’ output.
The parrot on his waist was shrieking incessantly.
Beast-Ear Girl Michelle had a feeling that something was off, “Be careful, Captain… As soon as we notice something wrong, we will retreat immediately.”
“Okay!”
Within the meat passage, the friction sound of a giant object sliding could be heard.
A colossal ghoul steadily slid out from the passage, fell in the hall, and the stone wall operation hid the passage.
Upon closer inspection, the entire spine of this ghoul was made of metal.
Johnny was taken aback, “Such a big ghoul! No doubt this is the commander of the underground nest… Everyone, prepare for the battle.”
At the same moment.
The time of conscious disturbance ended.
The eyes of the Great Lord restored to their original state, his consciousness gradually clearing.
“Just now… Why was my awareness interrupted just now? What did that boy do!?”
Furious.
The severe burning pain from his fingers and the mechanical tentacles that replaced his calf.
He hadn’t suffered such severe injuries for a long time.
The ‘main hall’ hadn’t changed, even the broken stone columns and walls were exactly the same, the Great Lord had no doubts.
At the same time, four familiar intruders drew the Great Lord’s most attention.
Armour, cloak, equipment, all the same.
But these four intruders felt somehow different.
However, with his consciousness still somewhat hazy, coupled with his severe injuries and fury burning within, the Great Lord just wanted to clean up the intruders as quickly as possible.
Just when the two sides were about to start fighting.
The third party arrived.
The Swollen Doctor wriggled his lower body tentacles and hurried here, his face full of fear, his hands cradling his head which enlarged due to constant nervousness.
“Great Lord, it’s not good! My detection device sent an alarm, it seems that your treasure house has been invaded!!”
Though the Doctor had made a mistake, he had put a lot of effort into the manor, single-handedly built the Ghoul Factory, and had won the trust of the Great Lord greatly.
And besides, it was indeed the real Swollen Doctor who arrived here this time.
Thinking back, the Great Lord did indeed fall into a period of consciousness stagnation.
“Damn it! The ‘Land Deed’…”
The ‘Land Deed’ was more important than the life of the Great Lord.
If it was really lost, he would fall into the Endless Abyss, never able to climb back up again.
Whether what the Swollen Doctor said was true or false, he must personally confirm the issue of the ‘Land Deed’.
“Doctor, you must at all costs temporarily block these intruders… I need to go and confirm if the treasury has been invaded, and about the ‘Land Deed’ problem.”
“Okay! Lord, you go and confirm quickly! The ‘Land Deed’ must not be lost!”
The Great Lord ran towards the stone seat in the center of the main hall at the fastest speed.
He reached out and touched the hidden button on the inside of the armrest, trying to open the hidden passage to the treasury.
Of course, the Swollen Doctor witnessed the whole process, memorising the location of the switch in his heart… In the meantime, the Doctor came before Johnny’s squad.
Facing the Swollen Doctor who was not at all weaker, Johnny’s team of four were fully on guard.
They even thought about retreating from here, facing two high-ranking beings.
Who knew, the situation suddenly changed.
When the Swollen Doctor came before them, he showed no hostility but instead a warm smile, chanting “Long live Sir Nicholas!”
Johnny and the others were confused, what’s the matter?
The Doctor continued, “You must help Sir Nicholas hold back the Great Lord.”
“This is Lord St…Lord Stuart!?”
As Johnny stared at the Giant Ghoul fumbling in front of the stone seat, he stepped back in fear.
“Relax, the ‘Great Lord’ is already injured, and I will also dispatch the ‘Ghoul Army’ to support you…”
After instructing, the Swollen Doctor immediately went through the transfer passage on the other side to the real castle main hall, conveying the news about the treasury switch to Han Dong.
As soon as the Doctor left.
A large number of ghouls poured into this fake main hall to join Johnny’s team, facing the Great Lord Stuart who hadn’t been able to open the treasury passage.
“What is happening!?”
Looking around at the Ghoul Army helping them,
Gazing at the training boss who had suddenly slipped here,
Recalling the name “Sir Nicholas” mentioned by the Swollen Doctor,
All of them were stunned!
