Chapter 792 - 792 792 Between the Throne

Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Between the Throne Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Between the Throne “Sacred Blood Zombie Arm (G Virus Infection)”

Just as Han Dong was granting the entire Hall family ‘liberation’ in the underground tomb chamber,

a perfect “Holy Cross” mark formed on his right wrist.

His entire right arm had undergone a qualitative transformation.

So far, the initial “Ghoul Arm (Green Quality)” had undergone two thorough evolutions.

The first time was due to the G virus infection, upgrading from green quality to blue quality.

The second time is now, due to the injection of the “Holy Blood”, it has once again risen from blue quality to purple quality… reaching the same level as the left arm.

It was precisely because of the Ghoul Arm’s evolutionary characteristic that Han Dong kept it.

However, Han Dong never expected that on the last day of the Great Expedition, such an opportunity would present itself.

That being said, all of this also thanks to Captain Shaia.

If she hadn’t chatted while drunk, leading Count to reveal the matter of the “Holy Sword”,

If it weren’t for Captain Shaia personally leading them to the Hall family and, at a critical moment, drawing out all the corpses in the stone coffin, Han Dong could not have achieved such a perfect upgrade.

The moment the “Holy Cross” mark formed,

The Black Whirlpool on his body trunk also began to rotate slightly, signifying that Han Dong had perfectly adapted to the newly advanced arm.

In the swing of his hand…

With the flow of fresh blood,

A “True Silver Holy Sword” appeared in Han Dong’s hand.

The image of the ‘Close Combat Mage’ previously set in his mind became more complete.

He now held another powerful card in close combat… And, about the secret of the Holy Blood, would make further inquiries through the ‘Black Tower’ in the future.

However, compared with the normal Holy Sword,

The sword in Han Dong’s hand was a bit strange…

…

The following day,

The most important regiment division and the ceremony of the start of the Great Expedition were about to take place on the third floor of the Holy City – “Between the Throne.”

“Between the Throne” – The front of Royal. Eternal Castle with white marble columns primarily, forming a giant square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.

Operated under the “monarchic parliamentary system,” the Eternal City of Noianterna.

The king is only a symbolic national leader with no power, many of his duties are ceremonial… However, the royal family in the Holy City is not only a spiritual and ceremonial representative but also a symbol of “strength”.

The true foundation of the royal family is not fully known even by some leaders of the knight regiments.

The most well-known one is the “Forbidden Army” belonging to the royal family. When a member of a knight regiment shows unique potential in a certain action, they may secretly receive an invitation from the Forbidden Army.

Such as Abe Rhein, who manifested the “Dragon Clan” physique.

It is rumored that the Thirteen Knight Orders are the ‘external’ strength of the Holy City.

And the Holy City also retains a portion of ‘internal’ strength to deal with a crisis of enough magnitude to collapse the Holy City, this part of the strength is hidden inside the royal family.

At present,

After sufficient rest, the knights, full of energy and in excellent condition, are heading to “Between the Throne” from different areas.

A commander and four generals will also gather inside the Eternal Castle in advance.

The Great Demon Leader arrived inside the castle early in the morning and was personally received by the Forbidden Army.

The aura emanating from the Great Demon’s body tends to be ‘neutral’.

Neither the justice of the knights nor the evil of the demons.

But an endless amount of magic energy.

Next, the Death God and Marlon arrived together.

The two were both rivals and the best of friends… symbolizing the extreme combat power of the Holy City, they were the direct power to deal with the Old King.

Especially the royal pressure emanating from Marlon made the Forbidden Army feel as if they were in the “Infernal Scorched Earth”, but the Forbidden Army did not show any signs of faltering externally.

“As expected of the Royal Forbidden Army, they are indeed of distinct quality.”

Not long after the two arrived,

Accompanied by a shallow blue spacial array mark forming on the ground, the 188-year-old “Great Mage,” Jerroth Midaeum, arrived.

Because he was the eldest, even the Great Demon and Death God were the first to pay him a slight respect.

Only Marlon went straight forward, reaching out to pat the old man’s thin and frail body.

“Old man, your body is still pretty good! Looks like you could live for another hundred years… Ever considered infusing the bloodline of Hell’s demons? With your rank, you might be able to get the same Demon King level bloodline as me.

By then, you could live for another thousand years without a problem.”

“Marlon, mind your manners!” The Death God quickly reminded.

“Haha… It’s okay, both of you are still the same as before. I’m satisfied to have been able to stand shoulder to shoulder with you and fight with this old body of mine.”

Jerroth was once the principal of the Knight Academy.

Marlon and the Death God were those he watched grow up… Now they can stand on the same platform and set off together, and he was quite satisfied with this.

There was still one hour left before the grand assembly.

Theoretically, the leaders should have gathered by now, but one person was missing.

As the commander-in-chief, the Great Demon, his gelatinous face without a mouth, opened and asked: “Hasn’t Shaia Cornwall arrived yet?”

Marlon also seemed puzzled.

“Strange… Shaia always is punctual. During our previous collaborations, she always arrived ahead of time.

Didn’t she get drunk last night? I remember she has a habit of relaxing by drinking the night before any major operations.”

The Death God glanced at his pocket watch and contacted Shaia directly through a wind-up device.

The moment the call was connected, a slightly panting voice was heard:

“Huff… huff ~ I’m a bit busy, and forgot about the time. I promise to arrive within ten minutes.”

She then hung up.

…

Inside the secret cave at St. Defiel Central Hospital, used to keep vampire bats and within,

Han Dong, dripping with sweat, was sitting on a stone stool, gulping water to recover his strength.

His entire body was on the brink of… exhaustion.

Standing not far in front of Han Dong was Captain Shaia, holding a bright red whip.

Ever since last night, obtaining the new 「Holy Blood」 from the Hall family,

Riding on alcohol and interest, Captain Shaia had requested a one-on-one training session with Han Dong.

At the same time, she assured Han Dong that she would not use her blood-level for oppression or any secret methods during the training, it was purely a close combat practice.

Getting to train with the leader herself.

Such opportunities were rare. Although they might be setting off the next day, Han Dong still agreed.

Once the training began, it just couldn’t stop.

As one after another strange powers were revealed from Han Dong’s body, Shaia became increasingly interested… to the point that she was late for the assembly of the leaders.

“Oh no, I forgot the time… We generals are supposed to gather at the Eternal Castle an hour in advance.”

“Captain Shaia, why don’t you go first? I’ll follow in a bit.”

“I was planning to take you with me.

I’ll leave the keys to my office with you, once you get there you can clean up your body. Make sure to get something good to eat in the hospital on my behalf, to replenish your body.

During the Big Expedition then, come to find me… Remember to come and find me often, don’t go looking for Marlon!”

“Got it.”
