Chapter 1074 - 1074 173 Knowing Oneself

Chapter 1074: Chapter 173: Knowing Oneself Chapter 1074: Chapter 173: Knowing Oneself The top of the skyscraper.

The whirlpool was ultimately devoured by the Abyss, leaving only the young man standing alone on the rooftop, with loneliness flickering in his eyes.

Menda seemed to be wiped out in an instant.

In reality, when he attacked the Mad Demon, he was essentially standing on the edge of madness, constantly moving towards the Abyss.

[Faith] or [Virtue], could keep him unaffected by the madness within the Abyss…

But once an individual’s fighting spirit is lost and willpower is fully eroded,

they will be directly devoured by the Abyss, becoming fodder for madness, utterly unaware of their own process of death.

The moment Menda failed to understand the youth’s ability and thus began to doubt himself and feel fear, he had already lost.

“Although disappointing, his combat abilities were indeed good… At least as a Dark Denizen, there was no way he could have displayed such strength nor shattered me twice.

The ‘Whirlpool’ from a different world is indeed highly effective against Demons; if this guy could cross the [Door], and touch the Mythical Field to a certain extent, I might actually be in danger.

No wonder that incompetent old man forcibly involved me in the London Game… I must admit, it’s somewhat interesting.

Eugenes, have you seen enough?

You’re still as distasteful as before, fond of hiding in corners to [Observe], thinking you can gain an advantage that way? It’s nothing more than a futile act of the weak.”

Having said this, the Mad Demon – Christopher J. Green squeezed his hand.

An ‘Eyeball Group’ hidden in Subspace instantly exploded.

At the same time, within a dark alley several hundred meters away, the concentration of the green plague pervading this place reached its peak.

The disheveled green youth suddenly covered his eyes.

Drip, drip~

A copious amount of green fluid seeped from his eye sockets, his eye structure sustaining certain damage.

He also showed a face full of hate, his hair transforming into grey tentacles covered with green eyes, floating in the air.

Just then.

A figure entered from the entrance of the alley, the black Goat’s Hoof remarkably conspicuous, its footsteps also quite distinct.

“Eugenes, long time no see.

Did you provoke that madman?”

Eugenes, with his important eyes damaged, was in a terrible mood.

He flung more than a dozen eye tentacles toward the entrance of the alley… Just as these bizarre tentacles were about to touch the Black Goat, reason prevailed, and the tentacles abruptly stopped.

A hoarse voice sounded: “Sally…”

“Do you remember our pact in the Element Game? Besides, you wouldn’t want that madman to come out on top in this game… Share with me the information you’ve just witnessed.

I’ll also find a way to stop that madman’s actions.”

After speaking,

the green tentacles peeled away to reveal an eye radiating green luminescence, landing precisely in Sally’s palm.

“Thanks… As a token of gratitude, let me share some deductions about myself.”

As Sally relayed Han Dong’s deductions to this person, the latter first showed surprise, then nodded in agreement.

“Eugenes, there’s one more thing, in the Rebel Church there’s one of my ‘informants’, whose body partially leans towards human kind… Remember not to harm him.”

Eugenes did not respond; his body slowly turned into a pool of rotting sludge, slipping into a sewer entrance, and his presence disappeared along with it.

…

The moment Sally received the information, she immediately communicated with Han Dong.

[Tentacle Interweaving]

Due to the consciousness channel they had established in advance, as soon as one of them requested connection, the consciousness channel would open.

The consciousness of the two stood as if at the border between Black Forest and Grey Ridge Plateau, communicating face to face.

“Miss Sally, what’s the matter?”

Han Dong was secretly observing from an Empty Building, planning to be a ‘mere onlooker’ and muddle through the London siege.

“I’ll tell you about the movements of a few Elements and show you something.

[Hop] is riding a giant of an exceptionally large size, leading a large number of Ancestor Body in a frontal battle with the Church. He’s easy to recognize… as long as you don’t provoke him, you won’t encounter him.

The actual body of [Eugenes] has just been found by me. Utilizing my past relationship with him, and after roughly explaining the situation and your info to him, he won’t specifically target you.

The ‘Green Plague’ spreading between the streets is Eugenes’s ability; you just need to avoid it appropriately.

As for [Green], he just had a battle with a high-ranking Instructor of the Whirlpool Cult. It happened to be recorded by Eugenes… it’s better for you to see it for yourself.”

Han Dong reached out to take the green Eyeball, “How do I use this thing?”

“Connect it to your visual nerves.”

“Oh…”

This was the first time Han Dong had seen this technology, which could store the images seen by the Meat Eye in the Eyeball.

Creak, creak~ A grey Tentacle separated from the back of his head, connecting with the Eyeball.

A series of ultra-high-definition images were immediately read by Han Dong, and he could even zoom, pause, and play them at different speeds with the control of his mind.

Initially, Han Dong’s expression showed extreme surprise, struggling to comprehend the ‘exaggerated’ abilities displayed by the Mad Demon, but soon he started to see the problem.

“… The high-ranking Instructor named [Menda] seemed to be affected by some kind of [Invisible Field] while fighting with that madman.

Moreover, because of physical ‘contact’, it turned him into a ‘carrier’.

So this madman could endlessly ‘resurrect’ from inside him, using him as a ‘carrier’?

What kind of absurd ability is this?”

Sally was staring at Han Dong with a surprised face.

Regarding the abilities of the Mad Demon, even they, the Elements, had a hard time understanding them when they first encountered him. It was only after multiple battles and analysis that they could barely draw conclusions.

Although Han Dong’s claim wasn’t entirely correct, he had pinpointed the key issue.

“It does indeed relate to the domain… This involves the bloodline of the madman.

The Madness Domain he releases can infiltrate gradually on a mental level and can also brand the opponent with a Crazy Mark… constantly eroding the target during combat.

As soon as the opponent’s willpower diminishes to a certain level, it will be immediately Devoured by Madness.

That is just one of his abilities, as you saw. This guy can kick a [Yandaros Hound] right off their feet with just one kick.

It’s not just the strength, it also involves some sort of technique and the quality of the Tentacles.”

Sally intentionally brought this segment of the video to make Han Dong realize how terrible the Mad Demon was.

In Sally’s view, Han Dong was too self-confident, and to a great extent, this self-confidence stemmed from his lack of understanding of the Mad Demon.

But then…

As Han Dong carefully watched the video and combined it with Sally’s explanation.

There was no reduction in his fighting spirit, no fear or panic.

Instead…

Hahaha~ Ah!

The sound of Mad Laughter kept overflowing from within Han Dong, showing an exceptionally happy expression, as if he had found a [kindred spirit].

“Christopher J. Green, huh? I must get in touch with this person, I never expected such an individual to exist… to be this strong.

Having such a person as an opponent indeed makes it difficult for you, Miss Sally, to win the bet, but it’s not completely hopeless.

Moreover… with this guy around, we might even win ‘a victory on a world level’.”
