Chapter 678 - 678 Reunion

Chapter 678: Chapter 678 Reunion

Engrossed in the thrill of slaughter, the Count was completely lost in the excitement.

The advanced tentacle skill, “Heteromorphosis – Blood Hound”, had an extreme lethal effect on the monsters in the Fate Space… It could essentially wipe out a Locust Nun in a single hit.

The wound torn by the Blood Hound was hard to heal, and even formed a zone of bloodstain in between, giving a “deepening damage” effect.

Simultaneously.

For the first time, Diana, who had transformed into a demon with self-awareness, was also growing stronger in battle, swiftly adapting himself to this power of the city wall. However, unlike Han Dong.

As time passed.

...

The side effect of demonization soon manifested in Diana.

Even with a transformation “Synchronization Rate” of only 5%, a large number of white lines appeared around her eyes, and slight parts of her body were undergoing some irreversible ossification.

Some parts of her had even sprouted crawling white tentacles in mid-air.

If this continued, Diana faced the risk of falling into demonic form, unable to return to her human form.

“Diana can only undergo ‘demonization’ for about 1-2 minutes. If the synchronization rate is any higher, the duration will be even shorter.

Later, if she needs to go head-to-head with the Ten Devils, or fight the Dragon City Team, timing is crucial.

However, that guy, Cass, seems to be hiding something… he has been conserving his strength as much as possible since the beginning. Even when he was sent to deliver the message, he incurred hardly any damage.

It seems the ‘Secret Stone Incident’ has indeed greatly enhanced Cass’s abilities.

After all, there are few knights in the Holy City who can use their demonization power to break the breed… Cass’s talent is not much different, his father is a writer, and Cass also has quite a brain.

I hope that when I encounter some dangerously unforeseen circumstances later, Cass will be able to step up.”

The nuns in the aisle are gradually cleared out.

Because the demon essence found within the nuns was of little use to Togu… basically all the nuns became the Count’s food, consuming as much of the “Laughing Mad Virus” as possible for his own use.

In this way.

When the crows that filled the passage scattered, all objects of containment returned within themselves.

Killing comparison:

Cass: 1

Diana: 21

Han Dong: 89

Where Han Dong stood, was the vortex center of the black sand flow.

All remains of the locusts had been ‘cleaned up’.

This scene even stimulated a bit of awe within Diana.

“Let’s go!”

Han Dong showed no intention of resting, leading the team quickly towards the deepest part of the monastery against the flow of molten lava in the road… There was a sense of urgency, as if an old friend was about to be reunited.

Can’t wait to see the changes in old friends over the years, express the joy of meeting again, and make one side completely his own.

After going deeper for about ten minutes.

With the gradual increase in air temperature, reaching around 61°C, the thick lava completely illuminated the current passage.

Everyone has reached the deepest part of the monastery, and the “Secret Room” that the Ghost Nun mentioned is right in front.

A large cold steel gate of deep blue hue, almost occupying the entire passage, with the clerk’s handprint remaining on it, and the whole, connected with the backyard…

Without a key, there is no chance of pushing this door from the front.

The lava trickled down from beneath the door, some small locust eggs hidden in the lava, slowly breeding.

Clearly.

The “Portal to Hell” and the “Origin of the Locust Plague” are both hidden behind this door.

Once inside,

The tasks assigned by the Mayor can be completed and,

Togu can go back to Hell’s monastery through the portal and restore his powers.

One could reunite with an old friend.

“Nicholas…” Cass seemed worried, placing a hand on Han Dong’s shoulder.

“Cass, you and Diana just wait for me outside the door… I’ll handle what’s inside. Also, I have a few personal matters to settle.”

“Be careful.”

The dormitory key given by the succubus nun when he first set foot in the monastery is now in Han Dong’s hand.

The bronze key fits perfectly into the lock.

All the seductive words given by the Succubus nun at first were aimed at making Han Dong cross the Gate of the Demon and find this secret room in the backyard… As for the source of the key, Han Dong guessed that when the initial locust disaster occurred, this daughter of the locust went out of her way to get the key template.

These years have been spent in gestation, only perfecting the key after three years, successfully reincarnating, and waiting for the ‘key’ person.

“The key person…is me.

Pennywise knew very well in his heart that as long as the key is given to me, I will definitely find the door to this key.

Feels a bit like the old days.”

The key turned~ Ka!

A wave of heat from Hell hit him in the face.

However, for Han Dong, who had Togu inside him, this temperature was nothing.

“Togu, lend me your chains.”

Although Han Dong and Togu were in a master-servant relationship, Han Dong could use Togu’s tools to some extent.

This so-called ‘Hell Iron Chain’ from the Hell Monastery was not only a weapon but could also be used as a piece of internal equipment, threaded through the body.

‘Hell Iron Chain (embedded)’: The user needs to endure a high degree of pain. Once successfully embedded, it can enhance the body’s defense power (Double Resist), improve the body’s heat resistance, and help the individual possess a ‘demon’ attribute – able to enjoy the bonus of the demon attribute under specific circumstances.

Clang, clang, clang…

One chain after another drilled in and out over Han Dong’s slightly skinny body.

The physical pain was nothing to Han Dong, whose main essence was his brain.

Ignoring the burning heat of Hell, his vision gradually adapted to the ‘bright room’.

The entire room was filled with lava stripes.

All stripes originated from the portal to Hell – a 1.5m wide volcano mouth-like [Lava Entry].

At the same time.

The room was also filled with numerous iron chains with hooks, hooking up an ‘odd trunk’ in the air.

A total of eighteen iron hooks were connected to this trunk,

The body surface was covered with spiral red patterns, with six strong, Han Dong-familiar, grasshopper’s long legs growing on its back.

As the demon monster from within the Gate of Hell passes through the portal to this world, one of the long legs will insert into its body, inject the locust’s essence…transforming them into carriers of locusts and infecting them with the ‘Laughing Mad Virus’.

All of this was recorded by Han Dong in order to report back to the mayor.

“Pennywise…it’s been three years, hasn’t it? I didn’t expect you to be living quite the life here.”

Ha ha ha…

Strange laughter emanated from within the body, causing every iron chain to vibrate vigorously.

The laughter resonated with the chains and extended to every corner of the room, attacking Han Dong like needle pricks all at once.

However.

“Ha ha ha!”

Han Dong also burst out laughing at the same time, with an overlay of voices… as if two people were laughing manically at the same time.

This scene was very strange.

The laughter resonated, even causing the resonance of the iron chains to intensify.

Ka ka ka~ All the iron chains snapped.
