Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Alone

“A pure deviant demon spirit body? I only have to find it?”

“Correct. As long as I can locate it, I will use the temporary spatial magic cube provided by ‘Mother’ to bring it to an independent space for processing… It won’t cause trouble for other things in Magic Crystal Canyon.”

“I assumed you were searching for a monster’s weakness so that I could report the information to you in advance…This is easy.”

“Nicholas, so you…

“My Talent Tree is complete, naturally my abilities have improved overall.”

Han Dong closed all three eyes.

[Laughing Madness] took the form of a smile on Han Dong’s face.

A peculiar sense of awareness rapidly spread out from Han Dong, covering about one-fifth of Magic Crystal Canyon.

Hiss, hiss, hiss…

For a moment, there seemed to be a little bit of rock being integrated into black sand in every corner of Magic Crystal Canyon.

As the grains of sand slid off, an eye connected to Han Dong’s primary vision appeared, working with the Little Demon Eye to thoroughly search the canyon.

“There’s nothing in this area…come with me to the next canyon area.”

Dumps felt as if a strong watchful gaze came from different areas of the canyon, clearly it was Han Dong’s ability at work.

“Has your ‘Eye’ evolved to such a level or is it…the influence of a domain?”

“Both factors contribute somewhat.”

“It’s indeed praiseworthy that you could break the breed using a mature deviant demon’s crystal core. Your start is much higher than that of ordinary knights…You have even inherited the Count’s domain, which is terrifying.

When it comes to the Knight selection, I hope I don’t get drawn against you.”

“I don’t want to draw you either.”

Thus.

Under Han Dong’s almost abnormal searching abilities, the location of the Deviant Demon Spirit lingering deep within the canyon was confirmed within less than an hour.

Looking at this pure deviant demon, Han Dong suspected Dumps’ ‘peculiar taste.’

The expected three-day search was completed in just one day.

Returning.

In almost a sleepwalking state, Dumps was led back by his scent.

He was promptly sent by ‘Mother’ to an absolutely enclosed secret room for the Breaking Seed process.

Unique magic patterns had already begun to stand out on Dumps’ body…It was unknown what form Dumps would take after breaking the seed.

As per the agreement.

Mother shall grant Mia ‘protection’.

A special Quad Handprint was temporarily branded on Mia, drastically reducing the ‘Five Senses’ of all living entities within a hundred-meter radius.

In combination with Mia’s own concealment abilities, she quickly moved through Insect Valley, searching for a suitable breaking seed target.

Han Dong naturally played the role of a temporary helper, offsetting some of the unnecessary pressure for Mia so that she could concentrate on her breaking seed target.

The process took a bit more time.

Han Dong returned to the cabin carrying a rather large silk pouch on his back.

Mia’s method of breaking the seed is different from that of ordinary folks.

In the process of breaking the seed, the insect nature within her, as an Insect Attach, will also change…The metamorphosis needs to take place in the special environment of the silk pouch. The duration of breaking the seed is more than five times longer than the average knight.

So it was.

Since Dumps and Mia had to break the seed separately,

from the time they returned to the cabin in Gaine Forest, Han Dong had to be alone with ‘Mother’.

As his perception was completely suppressed, Han Dong felt really uncomfortable. He didn’t know what to talk about, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Just as Han Dong tried to pretend to meditate to pass the time,

The mother flipped her hand, revealing a mouth.

“Since you want to ‘pretend’ to be a human, why don’t you normally [Break the Breed]? Your current state will make it easier for those in the Holy City to sense the parts of you outside the city, and my Dumps could be implicated because of you.”

“Hahaha…”

With none of his peers around, Han Dong burst into unrestrained laughter at this moment.

This hearty laugh gave Han Dong a feeling of incredible comfort throughout his body.

“Have you noticed? It’s no surprise a higher being capable of harnessing ‘senses’ would notice… Besides, the count is pretty much dead, only a slight hint of consciousness remains, surely there’s not much harm in that?”

That’s right.

Half a year ago,

With the help of the Crow God, Han Dong defeated the Mad Laughing Count and used his core crystal for Breaking the Breed…

The Breaking the Breed was successful.

But a tiny sliver of consciousness was preserved in the core crystal.

There are two reasons for this.

Firstly, The count’s own [Laughing Madness] attribute was quite powerful. Even if his physical body and soul died completely during Han Dong’s cycle of Breaking the Breed, the attribute of manic laughter was still maintaining his consciousness.

Secondly, Han Dong had considered this carefully.

Coupled with the traits of his Faceless Skull, the core crystal that still held a hint of the count’s consciousness was stuck in the bio-laboratory, sharing an experimental table with the Clown’s Arm.

“I’m curious, why would you risk keeping such an item of consciousness?”

“This seems to involve my personal secret intelligence, aren’t you known to advocate for ‘equivalent exchange’?”

Giggle giggle giggle …

A bizarre laughter emitted from the mouth in the middle of the palm, finding this young man quite amusing.

Meanwhile, a saliva-soaked sealed roll was spat out from the mother’s mouth:

“This is a map covering the Human Holy City, and a thousand kilometers surrounding it, updated a month ago… Exchanging it for your intelligence, that should be equivalent, right?”

Han Dong didn’t hesitate to accept the map.

It’s generally known that [Maps] in the Holy City are precious commodities, let alone a map that covers such a vast area and is recently drawn.

“Fine, I have two main reasons for preserving the residual consciousness of the Count.

Likely you, as a specific existence, should be aware that this Scarlet Count built his own network of relationships privately.”

Based on what I know, the count at least had business dealings with five ‘Old Kings’ and more than eighteen large forces while alive.

I’m quite interested in the ‘network’ that the count left behind… Keeping a hint of consciousness helps me better maintain these networks for future use.”

“Interesting……. what else?”

“Another point has to do with my one[nemesis], unfortunately, it also possesses the laughter attribute… to some degree, it might be more pure and difficult to deal with than the count.

At that time, I might need to call upon the count’s consciousness to collectively resist the mental impact brought by this [nemesis].”

The so-called nemesis Han Dong spoke of was naturally [Clown – Pennywise].

In “Clown Revival (Part Two)”, Han Dong will head to Old Derry Town…The treacherousness of this journey goes without saying.

Furthermore, ever since Han Dong acquired the laughter attribute, the image of the clown in Han Dong’s mind has significantly reduced… This is the fundamental reason why Han Dong preserved a part of the count’s consciousness.

The clown is worth Han Dong’s serious preparation and regard.

After hearing such an answer, the mother showed a very unusual twisted smile:

“Dumps does have a good eye for people…”

“Miss Yaga is too kind.”

Upon the calling of this name.

All the palms in contact with the mother’s face shifted away, revealing a face that could instantly dismantle the human form of ordinary people…
