The effect of the Demon Swordâs penetration was even better than expected.
Night Roar was sealed in the underground tomb by the Black Pharaoh with a joint Secret Art with almost no struggle.
At the same time,
a black scroll fell at the Seal place.
It was the "Dark Scroll" that symbolizes the Grey World - Sharnoth, used for final reinforcement during the seal.
With that,
the "Temporary Seal" was established,
it might not last for years, but sealing for a day or two shouldnât be a big issue.
Han Dong descended slowly in a "Gray Stance", placing his palm on the ground to sense the specifics of the seal, then revealed a satisfied expression.
At that moment,
the Queen and Mr. Penny descended as well,
due to Han Dongâs dazzling performance just now, silently finding an opportunity and piercing the target with a single sword to suppress him... the Queen didnât have any doubt about Han Dongâs disguised identity and even developed stronger feelings.
She was the first to step to Han Dongâs side, expressing her stance.
As for Mr. Penny, who was left behind by the Queen and stood alone on the opposite side,
he temporarily put away the "Handgun" and the "Butcher Knife", lit a family-produced cigar and held it in his mouth, playing rhythmically with a family coin in his right hand,
before Han Dong had a chance to speak.
Penny was the first to speak,
"I didnât expect that this invasion was a âgameâ woven by you from the start. I should have realized that the fragile connection between the Out of control was not reliable at all.
The Queenâs defection was already destined to decide the final outcome of this war,
however, I still had a lot of fun.
Since you want to talk, come into my family, and letâs have a private conversation."
Bang!
The coin in Pennyâs hand was tossed upwards,
and as it landed, it transformed into a wooden door engraved with the Family Emblem, connecting to Mr. Pennyâs inner world, corresponding to the center mansion of his family.
Through the opened door, one could already see the warmly burning fireplace and the luxurious European-style design.
Such an individual invitation certainly posed some risk,
yet Han Dong did not hesitate, raising two fingers to his shoulder, signaling the Black Pharaoh and the Queen to remain outside... he accepted Pennyâs invitation, stepping into the mansion alone.
They sat across on the leather chairs by the fireplace.
No one was in the mansion,
or rather, everyone was concentrated inside the Boss, maintaining the highest combat stance.
"One man, a family.
Moreover, the family members are quite obedient, such a âtraitâ is really enviable.
Unlike me, where each incarnation I created has its mind, especially this most formidable fellow Night Roar, who doesnât even listen to me at all."
"Be straightforward, Mr. Gray.
What does the so-called âFair Duelâ in the letter mean?"
Han Dong nonchalantly crossed his right leg, speaking slowly: "For someone like Mr. Penny, being dissatisfied with the abruptly interrupted âduelâ is inevitable, isnât it?
So I made a temporary decision, hoping to give you and Night Roar a real âvictory or defeat.â
Moreover,
the outcome between you will directly correlate with the victory or defeat of this âinvasion war.â
I will directly present the "Land Deed" of Grey Realm as the key item for this duel... emptying all the nationals of Grey Realm to transform it into your duel arena.
As long as Mr. Penny can achieve victory in the duel,
I, as the person in charge, will directly announce the surrender, letting you out of control achieve victory in this invasion war, and the âGrey Worldâ along with the entire land deed will belong to you.
Considering your out-of-control trait, you should certainly be able to transform Grey Realm into your private family territory.
If unfortunately defeated,
we will also find a way to clean up the aftermath, how about that?"
Han Dong even extended a âcontractâ constructed through the Yellow Robe Tentacles,
the content of which was completely consistent with what Han Dong verbally stated, after Pennyâs examination, the contract could directly constrain the Soul Truth, true and effective.
This rather left Penny puzzled.
"Mr. Teacher is already defeated, the Queen long surrendered to you.
With [Night Roar] temporarily sealed, you could clearly end this battle directly... even I wouldnât be able to win against you three joining forces.
Victory is right in front of you,
you could even handle me as The Loser accordingly,
why do it this way? I donât quite understand."
"Victory?
The purpose of holding the âfinal gameâ is not for such a superficial thing as âvictoryâ... Entertainment is the best feedback a game can offer.
I personally highly appreciate Mr. Pennyâs strength,
and also want to make this game fairer and more interesting.
Therefore, I want to give you such an opportunity... of course, I wonât force you.
Mr. Penny can entirely reject this proposal.
In light of your assistance in suppressing Night Roar, I wonât pursue any âloser responsibilitiesâ, allowing you to leave freely."
Han Dong interlocked his fingers on his lap, gazing at the other party with a kind expression.
Again, a cigar was lit, exhaling circles of dense smoke.
"Such a âchoiceâ is indeed difficult.
If I choose to leave, such a âretreatâ might affect, or even destroy my mindset to some extent, and much of the hard-built family honor will ruin by my hands.
If I choose to accept the proposal,
it seems all advantageous to me and would satisfy the fairness of the match,
possibly achieving a great victory for the Out of control,
and might even win this supreme land deed, elevating the family territoryâs âqualityâ, establishing an important base in S-01.
But itâs not easy.
An entity capable of âResurrectionâ through âsoundâ infinitely, even among B.B.Câs freaks, you canât find such a monstrous ability.
Even if I exhaust the family resources, I might not win."
"Mr. Penny, donât you have an innate advantage?
During the previous battle, I believe youâve already collected most of the information on [Night Roar].
Besides, donât you have a device nearly akin to cheating on you?"
Han Dongâs gaze locked onto the "Iron Maidenâs Head Cage" strapped to Pennyâs waist.
After a moment of contemplation,
Penny put the finished cigar back in the ashtray,
"Alright~ I accept your proposal.
However, I want to add an extra condition."
"Please, go ahead, Mr. Penny."
"If I win this victory,
in the future, once we recover to our peak states, we need to have a â1V1â duel unaffected by any external factors."
"Alright."
A tentacle with white jade sheen immediately grew from Han Dongâs back, adding this clause.
Simultaneously, his blood dropped on a corner of the contract.
The Boss Penny similarly flicked a razor from his wrist, sliced his finger, and dropped fresh blood.
The "Soul Contract" was signed.
Hum!
Exiting the family mansion,
Han Dong first exited the "Grey World" with the content Queen.
The Black Pharaoh used a Secret Method to uproot the "pyramid" embedded in the center of Sharnoth city, which housed all the citizens, transforming it into a flying fortress, also departing the grey world.
In such a manner,
only Penny and the temporarily sealed Night Roar remain in the world.
Though puzzled by Han Dongâs action, the Black Pharaoh only commented.
ăIf the world is destroyed, that grey guy will definitely come back to hold you accountable.ă
ăNo worries, even if being a laborer, I will rebuild a Grey World to supply the senior.ă
The Black Pharaoh refrained from further comment,
Moreover, he himself was intrigued, wanting to see how this capable Out of control would fare against Night Roar when holding some advantages.
In the silent grey world,
Mr. Penny stepped onto the Seal place before him.
The soles of his shoes could keenly feel the terrible presence trapped below,
without much hesitation, he bent down to nip the corner of the "Dark Scroll", tearing it softly...
Instantly, the world began to verge on turmoil.
Swoosh!
An oddly structured Demon Sword shot out from the ground,
returning to Han Dong, standing outside of the world,
following that,
a deep bass filled with rage began to ripple from underground, making the entire grey world shake.
As the entire earth within a hundred miles collapsed,
Night Roarâs true form instantly emerged,
the previously unfinished combat was reconnected at this moment.
Its brilliance and intensity were not inferior to some of the highest-level Land Deed wars in the history of Demons.
The holes on the "Dark Scroll" were also growing more numerous...
