Chapter 322: 322: Treasure Chest

Chapter 322: Treasure Chest

“Current subplot correction in progress.

The requirement has been met; the challenge with the [Visitor from Hell] is completed.

Members of the squad will receive related rewards when they all leave the area covered by the Strange Tales.”

Near the bonfire.

Uncle uses the red-hot knife blade to slowly pick out the tentacles from his calf.

During this process, the expression on his face doesn’t change, as if he has long been used to various forms of pain, “Contamination… I haven’t experienced this for a long time.”

“Thank you, knights, for your mercy.”

Han Dong is currently setting up a large formation, suppressing back the G-virus that stimulates cell potential in madness…

Under the ‘Crowman Form’, crows flock in, reconstructing their bodies at the rupture.

Just as the right half of his body is being rebuilt, Han Dong can no longer bear it… The deep bond with Duo Zeya is forcefully terminated, and the bone wings growing from his back wither and crumble.

He opens his mouth wide, vomiting Duo Zeya directly out from his throat.

Uncle gives a simple evaluation: “Crowman… It’s an interesting combination.

I’ve never seen a human being forming such a bond with extracity life. Perhaps by letting you continue to grow, the Holy City can break the current dilemma.

When I return, I will also try to make those old stubborn people in the council make some different decisions.”

Han Dong, after drinking a bottle of recovery potion, asked: “I wonder when the knight could leave here and return to the Holy City?”

“I’m not sure. It could be as short as a few months or as long as three years.”

“My name is Valen Nicholas, sir knight… I don’t know your name yet.”

“Marlon Hairpinz H Kazakovich…”

The uncle holds his head up high with pride, uttering his full name and expecting Han Dong to be terrified upon hearing it.

But to his surprise, Han Dong seemed to be hearing it for the first time.

Uncle Marlon isn’t happy, “You’ve been in the Knight Academy for a year, haven’t you? How have you not heard of me?”

“… I mostly spend my time studying in my room and rarely pay attention to other things.”

Han Dong looked embarrassed, but he was very clear that this knight from hell must be of extraordinary identity.

“Alright, you should go back… Destiny events with full five stars are not simple. It’s your luck that you ran into me here.”

“Alright, goodbye, sir knight.”

After seeing Han Dong leave through the reopened Gate of Hell in the center of the island,

The uncle quickly covered his calf.

“Damn! This hurts… This kid didn’t go easy on me at all.

I haven’t fought with extracity life for decades, but I didn’t expect that contaminating my body would hurt so much.”

A small tentacle with spots was dug out by Uncle and examined carefully in his palm.

“… The extracity power within this kid is high-level, yet he can freely control it while maintaining his humanity.

Right now, he is only a sophomore… By the time I get out of hell, it might be just in time for his graduation from the academy.

Then I can try to recruit him into my Hell Knight Corps.

Capable of fusing with crow people, capable of containing various strange lives, capable of using tentacle abilities, and possessing top-tier visual abilities… I wonder which tutor is in charge of him.

I hope they don’t lead this kid astray.”

Because of the intrusion of the [Visitor from Hell],

This Strange Tales event ends without killing the ‘Abyss Butcher’.

Due to the lingering influence of the public toilet, Han Dong failed to keep his promise with the office building.

“Hey! What happened to the powerful physical body you promised?”

The clown has been clinging to Han Dong all along, insisting on getting a body that could bring out all his power.

Who knew, Han Dong would just twist the clown’s arm off Miss Elevator in one move.

“I’ll give it to you next time… The situation has changed this time.”

While the Clown’s Arm was spewing fragrance, Han Dong threw it back into the lab and bound it… it was nothing more than a tool.

After returning “Miss Elevator”.

Han Dong and his team sneaked out of the office building and returned directly to the “Shop”.

Rewards:

Strange Tales Points: 80 points.

Hell’s Treasure Chest (Special Reward)

As they were unable to bring back the body or the chainsaw of the Abyss Butcher, Mr. Aha seemed a little unhappy and did not provide the corresponding item reward.

However.

As Han Dong and his group had completed an “S-Level Strange Tale”, this proved that they could help Mr. Aha with his work.

“Aha… Have a good rest! Tomorrow, I’ll assign you a special task.”

[Shop – Miscellaneous Room]

Han Dong was telling his curious teammates what had happened after he entered the Gate of Hell.

Upon hearing Han Dong’s description of the “Hellvisitor”, Abe seemed to remember someone, but he didn’t mention it, continuing instead to listen to Han Dong’ recounting of the events.

When Han Dong finally mentioned the name of the knight who was trapped in Hell and had to face the “Demon King’s Assessment”.

Abe immediately recalled the important person from his memory.

“Marlon Hairpinz H. Kazakovich… The missing Captain Marlon!!! Really trapped in Hell?”

“Captain?” Mia and Winry had not heard it before. Han Dong also had some guesses but didn’t think it was the captain.

“Yes, the original Hell Knight Corps-Overall Captain.

70 years ago, against all opposition from the council, Captain Marlon entered the Fate Space on his own… You should know that the Fate Spaces corresponding to someone of his stature are incredibly perverse, and frighteningly difficult.

Many people believed that Captain Marlon was dead, but it turns out he’s still in Deep Space.

Speaking of which … how did you hurt the captain?”

Thinking of fighting with the Captain, Abe recalled a time when he had an unknown source of confidence and wanted to spar with his grandfather…

Captain Kaimon slapped Abe into bed for half a month before he barely managed to recover.

“I got lucky, what’s more, Captain Marlon gave me a break …”

Han Dong didn’t recount the combat process.

If Han Dong hadn’t known that his opponent was also a knight, and that rules only required him to injure his opponent… Han Dong would never have resorted to such a dangerous mode of combat.

“Let’s see what’s in the chest.”

For the convenience of the participants in Fate Space to carry equipment, they can reduce the size of the items and carry them with them.

Bang!

A 120×80×70 sized chest appears.

The whole chest is made of a type of black iron, filled in the gaps with meat that is still squirming, and the lock hole is a skull with long horns.

Everyone was staring wide-eyed at this special chest.

“Whatever items or equipment that come out and are suitable for anyone, I will allocate accordingly… I’m not going to hog everything.”

Han Dong stretches his hand to open the chest.

It was supposed that the content would be a piece of (Unique Purple) Fate Equipment.

However, when the chest was opened, there was no strange-shaped or glittering equipment on display.

In the huge chest, there was only a piece of leather fragment.

“What is this?”

When he reached out to touch it, a system prompt sounded.

“Chest Reward: Treasure map fragment.”

When the number of fragments collected reaches five, it can be assembled into a Fate Treasure Map.

On the next entry into Fate Space, you can specifically enter a special world.

Inside it, there are fate events corresponding to the individual, as well as special equipment that are of at least “Epic” quality.
