Chapter 804 - 804 804 Action Group Established

Chapter 804: Chapter 804 Action Group Established Chapter 804: Chapter 804 Action Group Established “Valen Nicholas…”

It was undeniable that Han Dong’s performance at the last Knight Regiment meeting had been the most dazzling, even overshadowing those who were ranked first in the previous meetings.

However, in the eyes of the Great Demon Leader, Han Dong’s ‘value’ wasn’t as high as that of Dumps.

But one of Han Dong’s special traits was very clear to the Great Demon Leader.

Since the establishment of the Holy City, only two residents had possessed a special trait.

One of them was the existence that the Great Demon Leader most dreaded… In terms of strength, he feared no one in the Holy City, but he was quite wary of one person—Harrison Hugo.

Perhaps it was because he had spent a long time outside the city, or perhaps it was because he had a unique Demon constitution.

From his personal perspective, the Great Demon could see an ‘image’ in Captain Hugo that no one else could perceive—a myriad of indescribable sights, capable of stirring a trace of fear in the Great Demon’s heart.

And this newly emerged Nicholas shared a similar trait with Hugo—Pollution Immunity.

“The opponent possesses the ability to counter the ‘Eye of Expedition’s spiritual impact.

It’s not just about pollution, various forms of mental suggestion, mental invasions, and latent seeding tactics existed, and they were not something ordinary knights could withstand.

Even if you’re not polluted, there’s a possibility of being controlled.

Moreover, the Lord corresponding to this city is surely an ‘Ancestor Return – Demon’, an existence that you are simply not equipped to handle.

However.

Since it was Dumps’s suggestion, I believe you can provide a reasonable explanation.”

“No need for me to explain.

Great Demon Leader, please target Nicholas personally and initiate a mental storm of ‘Ancestor Return’ level to verify.”

“What the heck!?”

Han Dong, momentarily excited, blurted out in his mother tongue, and because it was mixed with local dialect, no one else could understand.

He quickly switched to fluent English, “Hey… Dumps, I didn’t say I wanted to go.”

Who knew, Dumps merely gave Han Dong a look that seemed simple and clear.

The latter, however, couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind that look at all.

“Fine… everyone else, step back.”

The Great Demon Leader also agreed to this suggestion.

He stretched out his white arm.

Pointing toward Han Dong, who looked puzzled and seemed to still want to explain something,

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

The power of the Magic Crystal was gathering at his fingertips, instantly shooting towards Han Dong’s head

Just when most people thought that Han Dong, who had just graduated a year ago and was a young knight, couldn’t withstand such a degree of mental storm.

Han Dong, who looked utterly defeated, actually stood his ground under the impact of the mental storm, and even showed a ‘contemptuous’ smile.

Of course, this smile was not deliberately shown by Han Dong.

It was a facial effect accompanied by the Mad Laugh attribute when his mind was impacted.

From the pores around his mouth, a trace of black liquid seeped out, forming an exaggerated black smile.

Haha!

The laughter emerged, directly dispelling the mental storm in his head.

“Interesting.

Since that’s the case, I permit you both to go to Central Street in Perugia City as ‘Artists’ to participate in the Art Festival hosted by the Lord.

However…there are still risks involved in this mission.

An Elite Knight must accompany you in.

And also pair up with a Holy Knight that can provide holy purification.”

After all, only Nicholas had a “Pollution Immunity” constitution, while the others still faced the possibility of contamination.

Is there anyone among the besieging knights present willing to participate?”

The Great Demon Leader made these arrangements solely due to concerns about Dumps’ safety.

Yet, the Demon King Hall was completely silent.

In everyone’s eyes, knowing that the art festival was a conspiracy but still walking into it… Although these two young knights were quite unique, they were about to enter a city fallen under the rule of the Ancestor Return – Demon.

The so-called “World Rule” was also set by the demons, and killing one or two humans might not matter much.

Even if they managed to escape, any irreparable deep pollution they contracted would lead to their abandonment by the Expeditionary Force, left to fend for themselves in the outside world.

“Since no one is volunteering, I’ll make the arrangements myself.”

Just at that moment.

Without a sound, and even unnoticed by the Great Demon Leader at first.

A knight, who emitted no breath and resembled a puppet, had already positioned himself behind Han Dong and Dumps.

The appearance of this person also caused many knights present to flash a look of wariness.

In contrast, the Great Demon Leader displayed a gratifying smile, seemingly assured by this knight’s participation that Dumps’ safety could be largely guaranteed.

“Symbolic Knight Order, Puppet Guard Commander, Charlie Lebron Bermanchev is willing to take part in this operation.”

“Senior Charlie.”

Charlie appeared quite helpless, “I did say I would owe you a favor during the Big Expedition… but boy, you really know how to stir up trouble.”

From Charlie’s expression, it was evident that even he could not guarantee absolute safety in this operation.

Simultaneously, another knight exuding a holy aura and capable of providing purification during operations stepped forward.

Gazing at the golden-haired female knight whose body emanated a strong Holy Flame Breath, the Great Demon Leader gave a highly satisfied evaluation: “Fighting Nun… quite a good combination, capable of providing purification as well as combat support.

Good.

This infiltration operation is named – “Art Exchange.”

You four are to prepare to depart in half an hour, traveling by high-speed carriage to meet with the demon messenger at the base of the mountains near Perugia City.

If you can resist mental influence and complete “Art Exchange,” obtaining detailed intelligence about Perugia City and information about the lord, you will be awarded the ‘Silver Ribbon.'”

“Yes…”

The last to join the team, the Fighting Nun, was also an acquaintance of Han Dong—Vino Silist.

As the four left the Demon King Castle, Vino twisted Han Dong’s right cheek, “You always like to cause trouble! I really don’t want to accompany you to your death.”

“Vino, it has nothing to do with me…”

The completely resigned Han Dong even thought about running back right then and telling the Great Demon Leader he didn’t want to be involved anymore.

Moreover, the Scarlet Count within Han Dong was causing an uproar, constantly expressing negative remarks.

For example:

“Why drag this Count along if you want to go to your death?”

“This Count wants to see your regretful face when the time comes.”

“I bet, owing to your special traits, you’ll definitely be the last to be executed or turned into a human artwork.”

The main culprit of all this chaos was none other than Dumps, who stood beside Han Dong, his face full of mirth.

Blocking out the almost decadent count in his head.

As Han Dong stepped out of the Demon King Castle, he lightly punched Dumps on the arm, “Hey, aren’t you going to explain this now?”

Dumps, holding his arm, pretended to be in great pain, “Ouch… I did this for you, you know.”

“For me?”

“Don’t tell me you won’t feel anything when we get close to Perugia City.”

“Hmm? Feel what?”
