First Battle

"Weak, lowly, incompetent... that's how humans are."

The Grand Lord stared at the armored knight he had slapped into the wall, a look of disappointment in his eyes.

Just as the Grand Lord was preparing to crush his next target.

Click...

Togu, embedded in the wall, moved slightly, then slowly pulled himself out of the stone wall, stood steadily on the ground, and tidied up the stone fragments that covered his body, seemingly unharmed.

Inside the thick helmet, Togu revealed a smile that was extremely rare.

A broken tongue protruded from between the blackened teeth and frantically licked the face.

excited.

Torgu was excited by the Affliction and couldn't wait to return to the Grand Lord to be beaten again... The slap just now made Torgu feel extremely comfortable, as if all the meridians in his body had been unblocked.

Just then, Han Dong transmitted his voice through the "Master-Servant Relationship":

"Togu... You absolutely cannot be allowed to take a beating in this battle! This Great Ghoul's 'destructive power' is far beyond what the previous barber or blacksmith could match."

If you're not careful, you could suffer irreparable injuries.

and.

The next step will be crucial to my plan; I must completely suppress the Grand Lord as soon as possible.

The battle will be fought by the four of us. Togu, you are mainly responsible for holding him back. If there is an opportunity, use your lava to inflict deep burns on him.

Once we can suppress the Grand Lord, I will grant you one request!

"Once we return to the Holy City, I will grant you any kind of suffering you desire."

Upon hearing his master's promise, Togu's eyes darted around excitedly... Compared to the temporary 'comfort', Togu naturally preferred the long-term satisfaction of suffering.

"Good."

Accept the request.

Unlike previous battles.

Togu immediately entered battle mode, his entire body covered in patterns resembling hellfire lava...

That's not all.

Even the ordinary armor worn by Togu was undergoing a "Purgatorization".

Such changes can actually be applied to external equipment.

All the joints of the armor were replaced with lava patterns, and the helmet was even burning with Hellfire... transforming into a purgatory armor that perfectly fit Togu's body.

"Lightweight", "Hardness" and "Fire Resistance" have been comprehensively improved.

It will also inflict a moderate amount of fire damage on the attacker.

With the Purgatorization complete, Togu officially launched his fierce attack.

Clang!

A series of iron chains shot out from between his palms and wrapped around the Grand Lord's neck.

Sizzle!

Without the protection of the bone armor, the neck was immediately burned by the iron chains, causing a large amount of white smoke to rise.

At the same time, using the chains as leverage, Togu flew towards the Grand Lord's head area... preparing to attack his head directly.

However, this process takes time.

Upon sensing the chains binding him, the Grand Lord immediately noticed Togu's condition.

Snap!

With a single slap, Togu was slammed heavily into the ground from mid-air.

Gravel flew everywhere.

Togu's body was completely embedded in the ground, but...

"Huh!? What's going on?"

The Grand Lord could clearly feel the powerful force constantly pushing from the area of the pressing palm... The target, who had been hit head-on again, still showed no signs of dying.

Moreover, it has great strength.

The Grand Lord's hand was slowly being lifted up... Togu was lifting the Grand Lord's hand slowly in a weightlifting posture.

It was at this moment that...

The rest of the team began to move.

"I'll help you!"

Miss Winry rushed to the spot where the palm was crushing, and together with Togu, they withstood the crushing blow from the Grand Lord's palm.

As Wenli exerted force, the combined strength of the two exceeded the crushing force of the Grand Lord's arm, actually pushing the arm back upwards.

At the same time, the Grand Lord also experienced a slight loss of balance, and stumbled backward due to an unstable center of gravity.

Just as the two power-type teammates were attracting the Grand Lord's attention.

A deep red figure had already quietly approached the back of the Grand Lord's neck.

Its body was so light that it felt nothing when it stepped barefoot on the Grand Lord's skin... Evil energy swirled beneath its feet, almost eliminating all sense of touch.

The "Evil Bead" is in operation.

Several dark, sinister veins began to spread from the woman's abdomen, along her torso, shoulders, and arms, all the way to her right palm...

Strands of Yin Energy from the "Evil Bead" overflowed from his fingertips and wrapped around the kitchen knife.

Using the technique of shaping with Yin Energy, the kitchen knife is sculpted into a sinister-looking long knife that is 1.5 meters long.

Because it incorporates the barber's scissors, its sharpness is further enhanced.

Whoosh!

A single cut was made into the back of the neck.

The blade is long enough to cut the neck.

Just as the blade was about to slice through the major artery and trachea... snap!

A crisp clicking sound rang out.

Such a sharp blade, enhanced by Yin Energy, could actually get stuck.

Chen Li herself was also taken aback.

Through the cut flesh, one can discover that the Grand Lord's important arteries and trachea inside his neck are connected to his cervical spine, all encased in a strange Metal Shell.

The surface of the Metal Shell also has a pattern that Han Dong has never seen before, which looks like a kind of reinforcement barrier.

"Oh no!!"

Due to an attack.

The Grand Lord's cervical spine immediately exhibited a stress-induced defensive response.

Click-clack-clack~ Accompanied by a series of mechanical sounds.

A mechanical tentacle with an internal gear structure emerged from the cervical vertebrae and lashed out at Chen Li with tremendous force.

When Chen Li drew her Evil Blade, it was too late to dodge.

Hair!

Using her newly learned hairdressing skills, Chen Li manipulated her hair to shield herself.

Snap!

The tentacle hit.

Large amounts of broken black hair floated in the air.

Even Though the black hair absorbed most of the damage, the powerful impact of the Mechanical Tentacles still hit Chen Li... Chen Li immediately fell to the ground like a bullet.

She doesn't have the same defensive capabilities as Togu.

If the body crashes into the ground at high speed, it will break several bones, severely impacting the subsequent battle.

At the critical moment, a dark shadow resembling Yu Wu flashed by!

The crow's feather cushioned the fall, and he gently caught Chen Li in his arms...

"Be careful, Miss Chen Li."

When Chen Li looked up, Han Dong's face was right in front of her.

Slightly blushing, she quickly transformed into a red shadow and stood close to Han Dong, briefly reporting the important information she had captured during the battle.

"Okay... I understand."

Han Dong has already activated his "Lesser Demon Eye" and is staring at the Grand Lord's body.

The incision on the Grand Lord's neck has healed completely in a short time... Super Fast Regeneration.

For Ghoul like this, regeneration is quite normal.

What amazed Han Dong the most was the Grand Lord's physical structure.

"Yesterday I met with the Grand Lord, but because I didn't open my Lesser Demon Eye, I couldn't see the true structure of his body."

Looking at it now, it really is exaggerated! No wonder so many medications are needed to support the body.

This Grand Lord truly knows no bounds when it comes to gaining power.

In addition to supporting the body, the Grand Lord's mechanical spine is also an important mechanical center for the entire body.

An advanced Mechanical Technology of unknown origin was applied to the Grand Lord's body, with all organs having Metal Plating and each muscle being driven by mechanical gears.

The spine is the core power source for all these mechanical operations.

No wonder it's so fast; it turns out that in addition to muscles, it also has the assistance of embedded machinery.

Moreover, these metal surfaces still bear seals...

In other words, to injure Grand Lord, it is not enough to simply break through the outer layer of bone.

We still need to break through the internal metal and barrier layers.

The difficulty in defeating this manor's big boss lies in how to break through its "defense".

However... Han Dong never intended to kill him from the beginning.
