Chapter 431: Colorless Crystal

“Detachment of all enclosed structures in progress, remaining time: [three minutes].”

During the waiting period, the protagonist David has slowly moved his disoriented internal organs back into place through the G virus.

In the meantime, zombies from other areas have also arrived consecutively.

“You wait at the exit, and as soon as the sealed structure is removed, proceed deeper… I’ll go bring Kelvin back.”

Successfully acquiring the ‘key’ and the gained time was largely thanks to the young Kelvin.

Han Dong never expected that there would be such outstanding talent among the villagers.

Based on Kelvin’s recent performances, Han Dong planned to give him more ‘sponsorship’… if he’s not already dead.

Whoosh!

Winged bone fan flapping.

In the form of Crowman, Han Dong quickly detected Kelvin’s traces within a short time.

“This kid has already learned to use ‘terrain’ effectively.”

He found a conjoined prison cell, with a robust stone column stuck in the middle.

Using such terrain, Kelvin managed to evade the monster’s pursuit by circling, traversing the prison cell, and jumping around.

This Chimera monster that was melded with thousands of life essences could only get near its target quickly through ‘spatial transfer’.

But its movement speed wasn’t fast.

Kelvin was precisely using this feature to restrain the monster.

Moreover, during the process of circling and outmaneuvering the monster, a series of evolutions occurred in Kelvin’s physique.

On his heels, elbows, and fingers, solid ‘backward hook’ structures have grown, allowing him to easily cling to walls and ceilings.

“Let’s see how strong this Chimera monster truly is… If it’s sufficiently strong, there might be a scenario for a ‘tripartite situation’.”

Due to Kelvin’s perfect distraction, Han Dong temporarily hid in the shadows, waiting for time to elapse.

“The detention area’s containment measures have been fully removed…”

Upon hearing the announcement.

Creaking… speckled robust tentacles were dragging on the ground.

A little different from before.

This time, Han Dong utilized more mythical energy, directly transforming his entire right forearm into tentacles, while also inheriting the characteristics of the G virus…

Rows of derived saw teeth evenly distributed on the surface of the tentacles.

Whoosh!

Seizing the right moment, Han Dong swung his right arm with all his might!

The hardened and toothed robust tentacles heavily whipped the Chimera monster’s body.

The monster, which inherently lacked defensive capabilities, couldn’t withstand such a sudden attack.

‘Tentacle Smash’

Directly caused the monster’s body to disintegrate.

Whoosh!

Oil rain, resulting from the monster’s disintegration, fell in this part of the detention area.

Sundry limbs from different failed creatures scattered all over the ground… The powerful attack worked better than anticipated.

But the monster’s vitality remained undiminished.

“Oh my god!?” Nicole exclaimed.

The pink little octopus hiding inside Han Dong’s body, through Han Dong’s optic nerve, spotted something unusual inside the monster’s remains.

“Kelvin! Hurry up and gather with everyone else, head to the next level.”

“Oh! Alright… where will you be, sir?”

“I need to observe this monster for a while… I’ll be there shortly.”

“I’ll wait for you at the exit.”

Seeing Han Dong execute such an attack, even Kelvin was taken aback. He gave Han Dong a respectful look, then ran on all fours towards the exit like a beast.

…

In the completely disintegrated remains of the monster, an indeterminate object floated.

Sometimes it would appear like a multifaceted prism, refracting the firelight into a rainbow beam.

Other times like a vortex-like sphere.

“Nicole, what is this?”

“I was curious from the beginning, how this haphazard agglomeration came to be… So it’s because it has a ‘colorless crystal’ inside!”

Nicole seemed excited and shocked, her pink tentacles even scraped inside Han Dong’s body, causing waves of tingling sensations.

“Colorless Crystal?”

“You have the ‘messenger’ attribute mixed in your body, and you don’t even know?”

Nicole’s words were full of doubts, just like a human who breathes air every day but doesn’t know what air is.

“I really don’t know…” Han Dong also had a puzzled look on his face.

“In our world, colorless crystals are among the most cherished and rare substances… occasionally found deep within dangerous forbidden areas.

Every ‘messenger’ is related to the colorless crystal, and one needs to fuse the colorless crystal with oneself to become a ‘Faceless Messenger’.”

“Do you mean there’s such a crystal in my head too?”

As an encyclopedia, Nicole continued to explain: “Of course, your brain and the crystal have completed a 100% perfect fusion… From my personal feelings, it’s certainly not an ordinary colorless crystal.

Its quality is much higher than the crystal inside this monster.

Otherwise, the Father God would not have entrusted me to you.

The crystal inside this monster is just a defective product, but it’s still scary enough.”

“So why did this guy turn out this way?”

“Out of control.

It’s not that simple to control a ‘colorless crystal’, countless life forms that have found colorless crystals end up turning into monsters like this due to their inability to control them.

This is also why messengers are so scarce.

You share a similar attribute with this monster, don’t you?

Colorless crystals inherently possess an inner compartment, capable of containing other objects within.

Its loss of control is similar to ‘containment failure’…once it loses complete control, the main body will indiscriminately contain other life forms.

The space inside the crystal is chaotic and can no longer house the contained subjects, so the subjects get expressed on its body in a ‘disoriented’ form, becoming the tangled, dislocated, compressed monstrous form we see now.

As for its ‘spatial movement’ ability, it’s also bestowed by the crystal.”

After hearing this explanation, Han Dong expressed a surprised look, “Oh, can the defective crystal inside it still be useful to me?”

“Not really useful…It has uncontrollably absorbed over a thousand life forms, the usable value of the colorless crystal has been completely depleted.

Why aren’t you taking action? You should be able to destroy the crystal inside the monster directly.”

“There’s no need to kill such a completely out of control thing…”

Han Dong carefully observed the crystal floating in the air, and promptly revised the original plan in his head.

He incorporated the crystal corresponding monster into his main plan.

Just then.

Suddenly, a sense of spatial containment emitted from inside the crystal.

The previously scattered monster was instantly reassembled into a ‘disoriented’ whole.

“Great!”

Han Dong retreated as fast as possible, flapping his bone wings and rushing towards the exit.

“Go! Move on to the next level… Don’t close the exit, leave a gap.”

“Sir, the monster isn’t dead yet, right? What if it follows us?” Kelvin asked.

“The more the merrier…”
