Chapter 853: Chapter 852: The Backyard Battle (Part 1) Chapter 853: Chapter 852: The Backyard Battle (Part 1) “Mythical Contact?”

It was precisely when Han Dong summoned the staff “The Raven” and revealed his Force of Death.

Meridis, who had just taken out his lute, immediately turned around and caught a glimpse of the illusory figure of a wild wolf’s head that appeared behind Han Dong in an instant.

Upon seeing this scene, a smile also emerged on Meridis’s lips.

After all, in the understanding of common knights,

a “Mature Body” absolutely required a squad of ordinary knights to deal with… But with Han Dong’s Mythical Contact, coupled with the same contaminant-immune physique as Captain Hugo, Meridis no longer worried about anything.

He confidently faced his locked target—a Messenger of the Toad Palace fused with the lower half of a body and a toad.

A serenade was played.

Combined with the nighttime environment, the elegant and tranquil sound of the lute instantly affected the Messenger of the Toad Palace… strands of sheep gut string from God Pan shot out.

Unblockable, irresistible.

The sheep gut strings connected to the messenger’s head.

A visible consciousness was directly pulled into the lute.

Of course… it wasn’t that simple.

The lute also overflowed with a large amount of clear water on the surface of its body, revealing a toad skin structure… Obviously, relying solely on this equipment was not enough to seal this messenger.

Meridis sat down cross-legged and continued to play the melody.

With each pluck of the strings, an invisible shield formed around his body.

As the shield fully formed, Meridis’s consciousness also entered the lute, executing the demon in a battle of wits.

The originally brutal fight for survival was transformed by Meridis into an elegant solo performance.

…

Compared to the elegant battle on this side,

The battle of another high-ranking knight was not so quiet.

“Bear-shape Shaman Asamo”

The bear-like figure leaped up, his eyes locked on the Invisible Children covered with an obsidian shell and a tar-like form.

Even though the surface of this amorphous entity had begun to show some “Ancestor Return” patterns and emanated an ancient sense of danger, Asamo was not afraid in the slightest.

He didn’t swing the lightning-charged great axe in his hand immediately.

Instead, he reached for the intricate totem dangling from the leather loop on his waist… The totem was engraved with the figure of a male god with ram’s horns, who wielded the primal thunder and lightning, with electricity coiling around his body.

Asamo recited an ancient incantation and then tossed the totem from his palm.

In its flight, the palm-sized totem expanded directly to three meters in size.

Boom!

It didn’t strike the target, but instead rooted itself upright in the ground.

At the same time, a pure, primal bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking the top of the totem… Lightning surged over the totem’s surface, fully activating it.

The totem is a Shaman Priest’s unique area-of-effect power enhancement ability.

Through the totem, a Shaman Priest can establish a connection with the god they worship, thereby enhancing their domain’s effects with the totem’s form… Any allies within the totem’s range will enjoy its blessings.

“Totem of Eurus, the Storm Shepherd”

Effects:

① Increases all nearby allies’ affinity for thunder and lightning within a 10-yard range.

— During melee or ranged attacks, there is a certain probability of an additional “Lightning Strike” dealing 10% extra thunder and lightning damage to the target and a chance to scorch the wound to restrain regeneration.

— When casting spells, there is a certain probability to infuse the magic core with thunder elements, enhancing magic damage between 1% ~ 30%. There’s a smaller chance (

② Every 10 seconds, the nearest enemy draws down a Thunderfall.

As the totem was activated,

Asamo also unleashed his bear’s might, wielding the lightning axe in his hands, chopping heavily on the target’s obsidian shell.

Crackling and flashing~~thunder surged!

Lightning Strikes nearly lit up the entire backyard.

Cracks had appeared in the shell of the Invisible Children, and streams of tar-like substance spilled out, trying to fill them.

Asamo, though confident on the surface,

felt a real pain on the edge of his palm… Originally amassing power, under the enhancement of his totem, Asamo had intended to pre-empt with a Lightning Strike.

Not to claim a guaranteed kill, but to at least inflict some damage.

Yet now, only a portion of the shell had been cleaved apart, and the shock instead caused his own palm to ache.

“This creature’s shell really can’t be split with brute force… It looks like I can’t use brute force anymore; I must find an opportunity to attack its insides.”

And just as Asamo stepped back,

The Invisible Children, which originally resembled a Slime Monster, suddenly changed shape, transforming into a terrifying body over four meters tall.

Its surface, a combination of broken obsidian and viscous fluid, resembled a battered flesh chamber.

Its top morphed into a round-toothed maw in the shape of a lamprey, snapping at Asamo.

Perceiving danger, the latter immediately dodged.

Whoosh…

The area bitten by the Invisible Children turned into a black pit full of sludge… The water, lawn, and stones that once were there had all been assimilated by this tarry substance.

Following that, the Invisible Children underwent another shape shift, turning into a humanoid black giant.

Its arms became several freely extending and contracting hardened tentacles.

With arms spread wide

it continuously pierced towards Asamo’s body in a pincer move.

…

“Hmm? Such pure lightning… Shaman Priests are indeed special; though not quite at the level of Mythical Contact, it can still be considered a Mythical Level offering.

The lightning invoked through the totem truly belongs to a godly creation; it’s just a shame that it’s slightly insufficient in level.

The Invisible Children are creatures from the darkest depths of N’Kai Yili; killing them won’t be easy.”

Dumps seemed the most relaxed of them all.

Facing the Nightmare that resembled a bat but in fact had an indescribable demon-like body structure, Dumps only used one move.

As the Nightmare issued an irritating growl and charged straight at him,

he touched a finger to the brow of the Nightmare and gently pushed.

He directly sent this Nightmare back to its homeland—a parallel universe composed solely of the subconscious and imagination—”Dreamlands”.

Feeling the warmth of its homeland’s embrace once again, the Nightmare let out a joyous and excited call, as if thanking Dumps.

If Dumps were to visit the so-called Dreamlands in the future, he could also receive assistance from this demon.

This move wasn’t any kind of power.

It was a form of ‘connection privilege,’ unique to Dumps, the new King.

By relying on the aura emitted by the Nightmare, finding and matching the ‘entrance password’ to the Dreamlands, connecting with the sixth finger… a gentle push was all that was needed to be done.

After the deed was done,

Just as Dumps was about to take a short rest,

Boom… a dull thud came from beside him.

A dark metal figure flew straight at him, accurately hitting Dumps… Boom! Both smashed into the wall behind.

Lucky for Dumps, his “Magic Shield” was always activated, so a mere physical collision was not a big deal.

The dark shadow pressing down on Dumps was none other than Abe, clad in the “Power Armor – Black Dragon.”

And Abe’s target, the “Womi People” from The Final North, had at that moment ‘grown’ to a full eight meters—thrice its original size… and was still growing, its power increasing without limit.
