Patron's Creation

"The big spender has arrived!!"

The thirteen regimental commanders, in addition to their titles, also have other special identities.

But when it comes to true 'fame'...

The patron of the Steam Knight Order was a figure known throughout the city.

Every knight in the arena has an absolute business relationship with the patron... Even the other twelve captains have to personally visit this patron in many ways.

Money is a minor issue.

Most importantly, the patron not only held financial power, but also possessed the highest level of Steam Technology... The Steam Train, various High Mobility carriages, and some special communication devices, firearms, and so on in the Holy City all had to go through the patron.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Thick, folded calves with more than ten layers of wrinkles officially stepped onto the audience seats. After thirteen years, the sponsor once again graced the scene of the Knight Tournament.

It felt like every layer of thick skin on the sugar daddy's calves was so greasy it was practically glowing with gold.

and.

Every two layers of thick leather, a series of iron rings are evenly driven into the spaces between the layers.

It is not an ordinary decoration.

These iron rings seemed to incorporate the highest technology. With each step the patron took, the iron rings would resonate, and a powerful aura that could be seen with the naked eye would spread outwards.

His calves were fat and huge, not to mention his overall physique.

The patron's body has an exaggerated size that is the sum of six normal people.

Her waist and thighs were wrapped in a loose silk apron... It looked like silk, but it was actually a micron-sized "Metal Silk", representing the highest level of tailoring in the Holy City.

Such a silk gown can perfectly conceal the wealthy man's figure, keeping his enormous belly within a normal range.

At least when walking, the huge belly won't hang in front, seriously affecting the body's center of gravity.

He wore only an exquisite shawl made of pure copper, with Coin and Scepter Patterns representing wealth and power printed on its surface.

On its thick, multi-layered neck, the patron's giant, spire-shaped head was 'stomped'.

Her large nose was pierced with a total of eighteen nose rings.

All the teeth in his mouth were replaced with a strong alloy containing 50% copper.

A body that appears obese and unable to move easily.

However, the patron slightly bent his knees.

Boom!

With a light leap, it reaches a height of ten meters.

It landed heavily on its Gear Seat, so much so that the vibration could be clearly felt in half of the audience seats.

He struggled to open his fat-covered eyelids, looking down at the final area of Knight Tournament.

"Golden Apple... an interesting test."

Such a test can maximize Gulli's potential; his brain is a fusion of human genius and the most advanced Differential Machine... capable of perfectly distinguishing all the false illusions in the Golden Apple Trial.

When the conference ends, I will be able to use Gulli's performance to apply to the council to fully introduce steam technology into the Thirteen Knights.

Then my power will extend to the very heart of every Knight Order, and countless treasures will be added to my treasury.

Endless wealth and power are what this patron seeks.

At this moment, Gulli is about to reach the Trap Area that Han Dong has set up in advance.

The patron also took out a sophisticated Clockwork Copper Mirror and stared at the area.

"The Crow's Student ... is still human after all, and can't possibly be a match for Gulli."

Garden perimeter area - East.

A maze-like open space measuring 100m x 100m.

Only one Goddess Sculpture holding a vase stands in the center.

There appears to be some information about the Golden Apple written on the surface of the statue.

Gulli stood at the entrance of the open space for a while, and a certain sensory field spread out, instantly covering the open space.

After confirming there was no danger, Gulli walked towards the statue.

"All that glitters is not gold; rottenness lies within."

A message was left on the surface of the statue, and Gulli tried his best to analyze the textual information in a different way.

Just then.

The ground where Gulli stood suddenly collapsed, and the soil structure at the bottom completely disintegrated into yellow sand.

The bottom corresponds to a sealed chamber of yellow sand; once you fall into it, you will be sealed off.

However... Gulli possessed some kind of Anti-gravity ability, allowing his body to float in the air.

Of course.

Han Dong had anticipated that Gulli would react immediately.

There was naturally more than one trap set.

Click~

The sculpture in front of Gulli suddenly cracked open.

A right hand, its veins pulsating and Transform Into a high-density Keratinous Blade, slashed directly at Gulli.

Bite!!

Gulli caught the blade steadily with his gloved right hand.

At the same time, he delivered a powerful front kick.

This kick pierced through the abdomen of the statue and the ' Han Dong ' hidden inside!

However... the Han Dong was kicked through was just Fake Body.

His physical body Transform Into yellow sand, which tightly bound Gulli's right foot.

One hand caught the blade, while the other foot was entangled.

When movement is restricted.

Hidden in the shadows, Han Dong activated a magic array hidden deep underground.

"The Alubis's Funeral"

In an instant!

The garden open space completely collapsed, Transform Into a terrifying vortex of black sand.

A giant arm, resembling Albis, was formed from the black sand. With a single slap, it shoved Guli Chalidou into the depths of the vortex, sweeping him towards the very bottom of the black sand.

Han Dong was standing at the entrance.

Supporting himself with his left arm, he continuously increased the pressure on the Black Sand area. He even constructed Black Sand Coffin with scarabs at Gulli's location, completely sealing it off, attempting to eliminate the target right from the start.

Just then.

Han Dong frowned.

An uncontrollable, powerful explosion erupted from the depths of the black sand.

Boom!

The powerful implosion caused a slight tremor throughout the eastern part of the garden.

Black sand and gravel flew through the air.

Gulli Chali leaped out from the black sand, a strange Shield Field remaining open, effectively hindering the erosion of Death Effect.

"Target detected: Valen Nicholas."

The Petrification Solidifier has been prepared.

Tick-tock!

The test tube was held in Gulli's hand.

When the gray liquid inside comes into contact with the black sand area, the flowing black sand quickly solidifies... Transform Into a normal black cement flat area, which can no longer be sanded again.

"As expected... a thorough analysis of each of us was conducted."

Are they Homunculus from the Steam Knight Order?

Due to contact with black sand.

The fur coat that Guli Chalidou was wearing had been completely corroded.

What was exposed to everyone was a half-human with a perfectly proportioned body.

The arms, torso, and legs are all drawn with black straight lines, and the Joints are marked with double black circles, making it look like a perfect human body designed by a designer stroke by stroke.

She was wearing a sleeveless black bodysuit and trousers.

The exposed arms have a [Gear Iron Nail] embedded every five centimeters – a precision control valve that can adjust the flow rate and concentration of the internal energy fluid by rotating at a certain rate.

Beneath those indifferent eyes was a mouth fixed and sealed shut with Steel Nails, as if the oral cavity structure was not yet complete.

This is the Patron's Creation ".
