Putting on an Act

Nicole, the Octopus Girl, was completely bewildered as several of her tentacles were shattered by the void explosion. She collapsed to the ground, severely injured.

Staring at Han Dong, who was sitting with his legs crossed on the Bone Chair, she was somewhat puzzled by what had just happened.

She was very clear about one thing.

"Void"

Even Though on the other side of the door, purely Void Creature are still rare.

The Void Attribute can directly damage the essence of things, making it extremely dangerous.

However, Han Dong only suffered some superficial injuries while being grabbed and pulled by more than ten Void Arms.

Clearly, Han Dong was wearing a kind of equipment similar to a living being, sacrificing the equipment to resist the void damage.

Even Though so, it's still incredible that he can sit here and oversee the whole situation without any problems.

In addition, the sudden appearance of two "helpers" also startled Nicole.

Due to her Deep Sea Attribute, Nicole is terrified of the bald man who comes from the Depths of Hell, whose Hellfire seems capable of evaporating deep-sea water.

"Nicholas ..."

After glancing at the two 'helpers' who were luring the enemy, and then turning her head to look at Han Dong sitting on the Bone Chair... for a moment, Nicole couldn't quite see through Han Dong.

"As expected of the Lord Emissary."

Nicole was completely captivated.

After all, she was Deep-Ones with Royal Bloodline.

When Nicole first met Han Dong, Nicole was somewhat suspicious because she could only sense a very faint aura of the messenger.

However, the handling of incidents has been repeated time and again.

Even after the bishop was tricked, Nicole had to admit that this young man absolutely deserved the title of messenger.

Another perspective.

Han Dong appeared confident and relaxed as he sat in the chair that rightfully belonged to the bishop.

In fact, Han Dong did not want it to be this way.

He also wanted to join Togu and Chen Li in carrying out the seduction plan, which would increase the success rate.

But... he really can't move.

"Ouch! Does it really hurt that much... Even the Bone Feather Robe can't completely block it; the damage from this Void Power is truly terrifying."

Han Dong appeared nonchalant, crossing his legs and acting all high and mighty.

In reality, the "Bone Feather Robe" worn inside the body was shattered in many places, and the skin and flesh corresponding to the cracks were eroded by the void. Even the cells mixed with the G-Virus were completely killed.

Currently, he can only slowly recover by sitting in a chair; even the slightest movement causes him to scream in pain.

The reason for pretending like this was naturally purposeful... otherwise Han Dong would have been rolling on the ground in pain long ago.

'A change in relationship with the important figure "Nicole Little Paw" has been detected: [Friendly] → [Respectful]'

Hearing such a prompt means that Han Dong's attempt to show off has succeeded.

Nicole had always shown suspicion, Han Dong knew very well that... after all, the real "Lord Emissary" probably possessed the powerful ability to manipulate events.

Since Han Dong's abilities couldn't keep up, he had to find another way to completely convince the girl.

"Phew... He's really risking his life to pretend."

Even Though the pain was excruciating, Han Dong kept his demonic eyes fixed on the great array constructed from the giant stones.

We must ensure that the plan proceeds smoothly.

"Chen Li cut off her head with evil energy, and it regenerated quickly in a short time... The Void Body is really powerful."

Bishop Wilkotes, who had just been thrown into Stonehenge by Togu with iron chains, had clumps of purple substance oozing from his neck, forming the outline of his head.

Meanwhile, the Void Power was also eroding Togu's iron chains, and he could break free of his restraints at any moment.

soon.

The hexagonal void crystal reappeared between the bishop's eyebrows, and his consciousness stabilized.

"Togu! Exit the formation area."

Clang...

The chains retracted into his body, and Togu immediately retreated.

at the same time.

He spent some time studying under the Shadow Stream at the bottom of the Great Cemetery.

Chen Li, by combining her own characteristics, can turn half of her body into shadow.

Not only can it float and move quickly, but it can also perform short-distance Shadow Transfer.

The Chimera Monster, capable of infinite absorption and expansion, was brought to Stonehenge in time.

current.

Five members of the cult have been absorbed by this monster, and their attributes have been manifested in the monster.

Crab claws and shell, Rock Strata Armor, sharp Mouthparts, Extreme Cold Touch, Mental Field.

Every ability can be used effectively by the monster at the right time... The remaining members of the cult were completely panicked when faced with such a monster.

"The timing is perfect!"

Both important targets were lured into Stonehenge.

Having recovered from his injuries, Han Dong slammed his hand on the armrest, using the reaction force to prop himself up.

Wow!

Unfurling bone wings in the air, they rushed to Stonehenge at top speed.

Consuming all the Mythical Energy collected since the beginning of "The Mist," dozens of giant, Spotted Tentacles sprouted from Han Dong's body.

They constructed a "Tentacle Barrier" that Han Dong could never achieve in reality, completely sealing off Stonehenge.

Even if the bishop wanted to escape, it would take at least ten minutes to use the Void Power to destroy such a huge Tentacle Barrier.

Moreover, he simply didn't have time to destroy the barrier.

After all, there was also something inside that the bishop feared.

"Hoo... Because the tentacles' ability is directly bound to the ' Mythical Energy ' set in the movie 'The Mist,' all the Mythical Energy that doesn't belong to me is drained in an instant, without any side effects for me."

That's quite comfortable.

In reality, if the Seed Energy in one's brain were suddenly drained, the person would fall into a prolonged state of unconsciousness.

Han Dong stared at the megalithic structure sealed off by the tentacles, now all he had to do was wait for the 'special duel' inside to determine the Victory or Defeat.

Regardless of who wins or loses, it will not affect the progress of the plan.

Han Dong was very clear about one thing: the two were almost equal in strength... The winner would inevitably be severely injured and overexerted, at which point the plan would proceed smoothly to the [Third Stage].

Han Dong had seen the array layout in the Book of the Dead (Ocular Codex) and knew very well how to activate it.

"Take care of the remaining cult members... and then all we have to do is wait."

The bishop was trapped, and the remaining priests were almost powerless to resist. They were dealt with in a short time, and Han Dong even recovered some of his Mythical Energy.

"Your Lord Emissary... what are you going to do!?"

Despite her severe injuries, Nicole, who was slowly recovering, also moved closer to Han Dong's side.

Staring at the Stonehenge sealed by the tentacles, he seemed to understand what Han Dong was planning to do.

"That's right... Door Opening."

This bishop who had come to understand the void, along with this completely out-of-control Colorless Monster, served as the 'key'.

It should be able to open a stable and massive "door".

"Then, Miss Nicole, you will be able to return safely to the deep sea."

"And you?"

"I... I just wanted to see what was behind the door."
