“What exactly are you?”
“Human.” Han Dong gave a straightforward two-word answer.
In the end, Silist caved, reaching an interim agreement with Han Dong for temporary cooperation in battle. “Fine… if I am not harmed during the fight, you need not intervene.
Even if you’re not fearful of the contamination, given your physique, one careless mistake in front of such Fallen will lead to your immediate dismemberment.”
“Hmm.”
All of a sudden, the stern-faced Silist averted his gaze, stuttering, “That…
regardless, thank you… for healing the wounds.
If we can kill this fully Fallen, we can privately discuss matters related to your abilities. ”
“Alright.”
Han Dong didn’t worry at all.
After all, Mr. Black White had an escape plan for him regarding this matter.
Once this issue is resolved, Han Dong would unfurl the scroll immediately. Even if a bit of information leaks out, Mr. Black White would take care of it privately.
And so, the two commenced their battle plan.
This would be Han Dong’s first indirect encounter with ‘Life outside the city’ , and his first battle in cooperation with a genuine knight.
Baker Mansion.
The fire had been lit inside the giant mutant Banyan Tree.
Before the tree collapsed from being burnt out, Cass and the other two were able to escape successfully through the tree hole.
The trio’s strength, combined with their seamless coordination, allowed them to successfully penetrate the interior, killing the ghost’s main body- -“A female skull intertwined among countless tree roots”.
During the battle, Cass, who was at the front line, suffered deep gashes on his shoulder, armpit, waist and inner thigh, and was invaded by a certain degree of contamination.
Sophia was currently administering healing Holy Light magic, coupled with Holy Water to cleanse the contaminant from the wounds.
“Where’s the Andwa brother?”
As Cass received the treatment, he thought of Han Dong first, shouting his name as he looked around.
Yet, no sound echoed in the gloomy mansion.
“Impossible… Andwa, along with his powerful summoned creature, might be even stronger than me in terms of overall strength. His summoned creature can kill ghosts directly. There is no way anything could go wrong with him guarding our rear alone.”
Cass noticed that the communication device was also unable to connect.
After receiving treatment, Cass immediately started searching the mansion… with worry filling his eyes.
“Captain Cass, we found something here!”
Koslin’s detection ability was still quite strong.
In the master’s bedroom on the first floor, he discovered a hidden passage leading downstairs.
Clearly, this tunnel and the one at the bottom of the pool outside should lead to the same place.
“Could Andwa have chosen to go down by himself?”
Sophia who was standing aside quickly followed up with a statement:
“My sister said before, only when she needs our help will she inform us to go down… we’d better not go down, otherwise if we disturb her, we may make her angry. If there was really danger, going down would only drag her.”
However, Cass held the opposite view.
“Andwa is well aware of that, but he chose to descend… The reason might be related to time.
We spent more than an hour searching the mansion and subsequently killing the ghost’s main body. Yet, we have not heard anything from Knight Silist who had gone to the underground area.
If all went smoothly, she should have come up long time ago.”
Hearing this, Fiya also started to worry, “Yes… My sister has always been very strong, she won’t ask for help even if she’s in danger, especially since we’re just apprentice knights.”
“Let’s go! Be 100% alert, and go down to assist them.”
Cass was determined not to let his comrades, who had faced life and death with him, die in this reward mission. He must leave the mansion with Han Dong safe and sound.
The underground area.
In the center of the Sacrificial Array, lit by green torches, Han Dong finally saw the true form of the master of the house, [Baker Marcellus]. Or more accurately: [The Fallen Baker] “What… what is this?”
Baker’s current ‘form’ surpassed Han Dong’s assumptions.
He immediately understood what life outside the city was like, and why humans—who had already mastered firearms—would be completely defeated in a short time.
Since his rebirth, Han Dong had already seen some contaminants.
“Ghoul”
“The Shuffling Old Woman”
“Tree Elf Ghost”
Even if these creatures had lost their self-consciousness, they still basically maintained a human form… at least 80% of them were still like people.
In terms of physique and other characteristics, they all fell within the category of humans.
But.
This Baker Marcellus had exceeded these limits.
First, let’s talk about physique and body characteristics.
Three meters… probably close to four meters in height.
Aside from the swollen head that barely resembles a human, the rest of the body parts were non-human, mostly composed of a blood-red tendrils.
From the tentacles that formed his body, a cluster of gruesome heads could be vaguely seen within.
They were the pitiful security staff and their families used for the sacrifice.
These tentacles seem to be controlled by Baker at will.
When he wanted them to be soft, they could become soft, quickly wrapping around and infiltrating the flesh of the target.
When he wanted them to be hard, they could be harder than steel, turning into drills and tearing the target’s flesh apart.
To fight such a thing with Han Dong’s current abilities, he would probably be toyed with and killed by the opponent.
Moreover, the Fallen Baker possessed a terrifying trait.
On his back, a giant eye about one meter in diameter was growing… this made it impossible to sneak attack him from behind.
A common Apprentice Knight, if directly confronted with this giant eye, would probably dissolve into a pus immediately.
A small number of people might be able to withstand such intense contamination with their bodies, but they themselves would also fall and mutate into Baker’s servants.
Silist briefly analysed the situation at hand:
“This guy seems to be planning to run the evil formation again to restrain the consciousness of the sacrificed ones in his body that has not yet completely dissipated… Once the consciousness of all sacrificial ones is lost, he will become a completely independent individual and be more difficult to deal with.
I’m going for it!
Aron, remember!
Once you see me suffer ‘traumatic contamination’, immediately come and heal me… Once the healing is complete, hide away obediently. I will draw its attention so you don’t have to worry.”
“Okay.”
With that said.
Silist started preparing for the fight.
He drank a bottle of magic Holy Water shimmering with blue stars… this Holy Water could enhance the individual’s contamination resistance and continuously replenish magic power.
At the same time, he applied multiple BUFFs on himself.
“King’s Blessing” “Life Blessing” “Punishment Blessing” “Strength Blessing.”
Once finished.
Just as the “Fallen Baker” was about to activate the formation once more.
Silist jumped out and swung the chain mace in his hand with all his strength.
An approximately one meter-long holy hammer formed mid-air, directly colliding with Baker’s chest, shattering and breaking several tendrils.
But the broken tendrils fell to the ground and as if possessing an independent consciousness, they immediately crawled back to the main body.
Han Dong, hiding in the dark, noticed a key detail…
“The Fallen Baker”
It had just made an inconspicuous action of collection.
When hit, the item resembling a book, was quickly collected in the back area..
