Chapter 852 - 852 852 The Origin of the Statue

Chapter 852: Chapter 852 The Origin of the Statue Chapter 852: Chapter 852 The Origin of the Statue Upon seeing the four statues in the backyard area,

the Scarlet Count was also startled, as the aura emitted by these statues alone suggested that two of them were stronger than he had been in the past.

Moreover,

the Count, who had connections with multiple forces, immediately recognized what these statues standing in the backyard were:

“Snakemen of Yoth,

Invisible Children of N’Kai,

the Womi People of Hyperborea,

and even the Nightmares of the Dreamlands,

two of which are related to the Toad Ancestor, but the other two are direct subordinates to other Old Kings… Moreover, the status of Mature Deviant Demons is not low, to be turned into statues and made guardians here.

The attraction of ‘Watching the Wall’ is indeed too great… this Count had once tried to see if a relationship with the Toad Ancestor could be established.

But this group of toads is incredibly cunning, offering no opportunity at all.

According to this Count’s intelligence, other races basically have no chance of experiencing ‘Watching the Wall.’

Every outsider misled by the toads who visits Watching the Wall with a stroke of luck never returns.

However… Nicholas, if you can win the ‘Land Deed War,’ all of this will belong to you, including the caves below, thus rendering the issue of danger non-existent.

Perhaps then, this Count might actually see what the holy land of the toads is really like and see what is so special about the wall surface.”

“Didn’t you say you’d rather die than participate in the war?”

The Count quickly found a reason to give himself an out, “The young new king makes a good point, if indeed there are cave walls left by the Toad Ancestor here… with your messenger status and the support from that young fellow behind you,

the [Toad Ancestor] might not dare to touch you.

As long as you can win the battle, this area will belong to you.

If the opportunity to start a fight is right, this Count might consider participating in the war, to help you win grandly… but if you keep blathering, don’t expect my help.”

Han Dong was too lazy to argue further, shifting the topic to the important terms the Count had just mentioned:

“By the way, are all those names of places that you mentioned? I’ve never heard of them.”

“Should our deviant demons, upon waking up in dreamlands, reclaim the world, and still continue your low-ranking humans’ outdated nomenclature?

How foolish!

Moreover, it’s not just the names of places that have changed.

The ‘world’ as it exists in your humans’ inherent mindset has totally transformed, due to the appearance of the Old Kings and their kin.

There has been a massive transformation of terrain and topography, the emergence of Different Spaces, and some Old Kings, whose sheer size equates to that of a continent, are themselves continents.

Your Big Expedition has just begun; you should be able to feel the entirely new world created by us in your forthcoming endeavors.”

Although Han Dong was not the type to care much about what others said, hearing the Count ramble irritated him, and he immediately blocked out the Count’s consciousness.

However, the information provided by the Count was marginally useful, making the upcoming battle arrangements more convenient.

“The activation of the stone ‘Messengers of the Toad Palace’ and the amorphous black matter, has already produced some ‘Ancestral Characteristics’… The other three, however, are Mature Bodies roughly on the same level as the Count.

Let them choose first.”

[Bear-shape Shaman Asamo] immediately picked the most challenging one, the Invisible Children.

This tar-like life form from the Dark Abyss contains an extremely solid obsidian shell, amorphous, and with numerous traits… However, the primitive thunder and lightning inherent to the shaman tribe also have a strong restraining effect on this darkest of lives.

As for [Bard Meridis], she did not look at any of the statues during the whole process.

Her eyes were fixed on the center of the backyard, until it transformed into a pond, from which arose the Messenger of the Toad Palace… Her target had been precisely located from the start.

“Abe, you handle the Womi… It’s a pity Winry is not here; otherwise, the two of you combined could probably restrain it quickly.”

“The Womi? That giant wild man? No problem… I can handle it alone.”

The wild man was obviously a brute force type of demon, exactly to Abe’s taste.

Having given instructions to Abe, there were only two options remaining.

“Dumps, what will you choose?”

“Leave Nightmare to me… the life in ‘Dreamlands’ differs from the deviant demons in reality.

My ‘Fingers’ can ignore certain rules and touch the ‘Threads of Dream,’ which only I can deal with.” Dumps also used professional terms, obviously very clear about the classification of these life forms.

With that settled, the division of tasks was complete.

Han Dong placed one hand on Mia’s shoulder and leaned his body close, pointing to the statue of the Snake-Man Priest.

She initially blushed at such behavior but soon sensed an aura of being treated as a tool.

“Mia, the remaining ‘Snake-Man Priest’ is ours to deal with.

The battle will be led by you; I will provide support from behind.”

“Huh? Why did you say my line?”

Mia had already planned to use various witchcraft to cover Han Dong… and under appropriate circumstances, to join him in executing the target.

“Under Dumps’ guidance—his ‘Mother’—you completed the full activation of the ‘Insect Attach.’

The curse you bear has transformed into absolute power.

…And I have also brought you the most original ‘Tri-Witch Mystery Teaching’ from Miss Jane.

I believe, Mia, you have already traveled some distance on the road to the ‘Secret Country.’

The current situation is merely a low-rank battle in the scale of the Big Expedition… If you can’t even handle this, Mia, I would be very disappointed.”

“I’m not afraid of deviant demons… it’s just that I’ve never seen such a ‘Snake’ before.”

“I will assist you from the shadows, show me what you can do… Besides, the reason I am supporting you from behind is that someone needs to sense and explore the conditions in other areas of the backyard.

If something unexpected happens during the battle, we must be able to respond immediately.”

“Understood, I’ve said it before, and I won’t drag you down…”

With that said, Mia took out a prepared herbal injection and jabbed it into her body.

‘Mixed Witchcraft Potions’—enhance witchcraft effects, suppress witchcraft side effects.

“‘One-time Ritual’ activate!”

The secret text inscribed between Mia’s organs by Solal’s Witch Fire dagger activated, slightly opening a door connected to the witchcraft deity country—’Secret Country,’ allowing Mia to accept some power from this realm.

She also put on her matching power armor.

The flexible metal light armor, perfectly adapted for the spider legs that grew on Mia’s back,

could even allow the casting that normally required both hands, to be accomplished by the spider legs through the ‘casting inscriptions’ and ‘magic circuits (extended)’ imprinted between the flexible metals.

Bundles of witchcraft energy were already gathering on the surface of the spider legs.

At the same time, ‘Demon Sword-Huan’ from ‘Strange Tales’ was also held in Mia’s hand… A pale-faced lady ghost in white also floated in the backyard.

The opponent was a mature body-demon.

In terms of strength, it usually required a whole squad of knights to deal with it.

Mia could not hold back any strength; she had to give her all from the start.

Focusing on the Dongying female ghost-Huan floating in the courtyard… Han Dong’s thoughts were slightly stirred, “Wonder how ‘Miss Chen Li’ is doing in Fate Space, better get her out soon.”

Thinking this.

Pop!

Accompanied by a flurry of raven feathers falling, a black magic staff was held in his left hand.

Perhaps due to a series of experiences in ‘Chaos Hell’, the growth of the arm of the Undying Priest… when Han Dong held the staff, showing the posture of death.

A dark wolf’s head with intricate decorations faintly materialized behind him…
