Chapter 1293 - 1293 1292 The Agreement

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1292: The Agreement Chapter 1293: Chapter 1292: The Agreement [Dreamlands]

The first time they met in London City, Sally wanted to test Han Dong’s strength, taking him to a hidden space designed as the ‘World Sanctuary’.

They even accidentally alarmed the Nightmares King.

This time.

The two of them were very cautious, stealthily moving through the Dreamlands, finding a stone field not under the jurisdiction of any Old King.

The area was covered with stones of varying sizes.

Several dozen strangely shaped boulders pieced together into a peculiar formation… resulting in the area’s gravity being several times that of other areas, even reaching ten times the normal gravity at its center.

However.

An intense battle was erupting on this field of broken stones.

Many Demons that lived here migrated away, frightened. Several clashes generated forces reaching the strength of a Mythic Body.

Layers of horizontal shockwaves continuously spread outwards, causing noticeable tremors dozens of kilometers away.

The entire battle lasted for three hours.

Viewed from the sky above, several large Goat’s Hoof prints were scattered among the stone field, even crushing all the boulders that made up the Formation.

Sally leaned against a black-purple meatball, panting heavily.

She stared at Han Dong with an incredulous look.

“You… are completely different from a year ago, how could my Heavy Crushing not hit you even once. Where did you learn such a weird Body Technique? From the Fate Space?”

Sally’s Goat’s Hoof could easily crush anything solid, but when she tried to stomp on Han Dong during the battle, it felt like stepping on a lake surface, unable to hit a solid body.

“After all, I have completed [Opening the gate], there’s bound to be some improvements. This Body Technique indeed comes from Fate, and it pairs very well with my Special Traits. It’s specially used to deal with this kind of physical impact.

Miss Sally, let’s stop here for tonight… How about we call it a [Standoff]?

If we continue, both sides will have to reveal our ‘trump cards’, and it’s better to save those for the upcoming battle.

Why not do this instead, let’s leave the decision of victory or defeat to the [London Game].

We can determine the final winner based on individual contributions to the battle, which is more objective, and the Old Kings who are watching the battlefield can serve as witnesses.”

“A [Standoff] then…”

Sally was very reluctant, but she could only accept.

Han Dong’s rate of progress was too astonishing, even exceeding her personal comprehension.

Thinking this, Sally gently twiddled her goat ears with her Fingers and asked in a low voice:

“Your path to growth comes from [Fate], right? Is it really possible to rapidly increase one’s strength there… If I have the opportunity later, could you take me there to try?

My anthropomorphic state should be recognized by Fate after some more refinement.”

Sally wanted to become stronger for personal reasons.

If she could grow to be a [King], the burden on her shoulders could be greatly reduced.

“Sure,” Han Dong nodded quickly.

“Can we go now? There’s still four months before the game starts… hurry and take me with you.”

“We can’t go now.

The Fate Space has a one-year cooling-off period for individuals, and I’ve just completed the gate there.

We’ll have to wait a while, but…”

“But what?”

“But, I have some friends who might go to the Fate Space soon, you can go with them.”

“No!” Sally, lying in bed, immediately covered half of her head with the blanket, rejecting the idea.

“They are all very strong, and just as rich in experience; you would very likely get through with them.”

“I don’t care, I only want to go with you.”

Han Dong finally realized, “Ah, that’s right… then we have to wait until the London game is over. By then, I will just have an appointment with Green.”

“Green? What appointment?”

“Green will summon a few Elements, who will borrow ‘human shells’ or ‘deep anthropomorphic states’, and I will guide them on a trip to the Fate Space. This naturally includes Miss Sally.”

“Green… alright.” Sally’s face showed a hint of melancholy, lost in thought.

Since the sparring ended, Han Dong also tried to inquire some insider information from Sally.

“Miss Sally, do you know the arrival times of other Elements to London City? Furthermore, will each one have a Mythic Body as their [bodyguard]?”

“The exact times are not clear, but everyone will arrive in London City at the latest one month before the game begins. As for the Mythic Bodies, that’s also an ‘entry rule’ set by those above. With the ten of us Elements as units of power, each faction must provide exactly one Mythic Body to participate in the game… As you guessed, each of the ten Elements will have a Mythic Body by their side.”

Han Dong nodded, thinking to himself,

“So, there will be a total of ten Mythic Bodies coming? They must all be outstanding individuals like that muscular old lady. Such rules nicely maintain the ‘Balance’… The forces of the Element Bodies are perfectly equal to the Human Expeditionary Army. Are those Upper Beings who are secretly watching this game trying to assess the ‘value’ of humans through this relatively balanced approach?”

…

Upon leaving the Dreamlands, it was already the morning of the next day.

The hotel service staff who brought breakfast showed admiration and reverence in their eyes upon seeing Han Dong and Sally in the same room… Sally was like a goddess among the Demon Group. But now, this untouchable goddess was lying on the big bed looking tired yet content, which the service staff naturally understood.

Han Dong couldn’t be bothered to explain, given that this situation wouldn’t reach human ears, and it would also enhance his reputation among the Dark Denizens, which was a good thing.

“Nicholas, since there’s nothing much happening recently, will you keep me company like this for the next few days?”

Han Dong scratched his head helplessly.

“Actually, I personally have a lot of things to take care of. The Expeditionary Army has just settled in London, and there are many things on this end that have not been handled… Today, I will take a few friends to the [Fate Space] in London City. If I have time later, I will contact Miss Sally proactively.”

“Can I come with you? I want to see how you humans enter.”

Sally was lying on the bed, her big, shiny black eyes wide open, and with her cute goat ears and horns, as well as her gently swaying tail, made it hard for Han Dong to refuse.

“Alright… but you’ll need to change into a different set of clothes to avoid suspicion.”

…

Eastern City District-Apartment No. C-031, Blake Street

In front of the apartment assigned to the [Language of the Crow] team

Thump thump~ a series of knocks at the door.

The one who came forward to open the door was only Dumps.

“Nicholas… why come now, and pick such an early hour? Everyone is still sleeping, after all, we’ve finally got a chance to rest after the long journey.”

“I was busy until late last night, and it took a lot of time handling things with the team leader.”

“Who is this?” Dumps turned to look behind Han Dong, at a Demon wrapped in the robes of the Night.

“Didn’t you say we were preparing to go to the Fate Space? This Instructor will follow me to take you to the Church Headquarters; the Door of Fate is located there. Since they’re still not up, let them sleep a little longer.”

As Han Dong led the ‘Instructor’ into the residence.

As Dumps closed the door, he caught a glimpse of a pair of black Goat’s Hoof exposed under the hem of the long robe…
