Female Corpse

Han Dong was convinced that no one would come to his rescue because of the "yellow stamp" warning he received before the match...

Why would a "Sub-death Space" suddenly appear, teetering on the edge of death and reality?

If this were outside the city, Han Dong wouldn't be able to guess the answer.

But this situation is happening at the Knight Tournament, in the arena that is under the complete surveillance of the Holy City... There is only one reason for this, and that is the Council's methods.

Even Though the great writer Stephen has been identified as an Otherworldly being and killed by the leader and his allies... the evidence he provided, the evidence that Demps and I possessed Outer City attributes, is true.

Members of parliament must also be able to distinguish the authenticity of the evidence.

As things stand, there is more evidence against me, and Parliament is more concerned about my influence in the Holy City ... Demps is second.

Before I, as an uncertain factor, am formally admitted to the Knight Order, my 'danger' must be verified.

There must be a wise man in the council who is equal to Mr. Black and White.

I had anticipated that I would try to withdraw from the competition, so I used various 'coincidences' to prevent my chance to withdraw.

Even my ability to traverse the Apple Tree Path via the Death Space was anticipated, thus creating a "Sub-death Space" in advance.

This is troublesome...

Abel naturally realized what was going on and, considering some of Han Dong's secrets, asked, "Could it be... that the council is deliberately targeting you? This doesn't comply with the rules of the Knight Tournament, which emphasizes openness and fairness."

Han Dong nodded, "Sorry... I dragged you into this too."

The so-called 'openness and fairness' can be easily glossed over by simply releasing the video footage of what happened inside after the tournament... any excuse like the arena having an inner space can easily cover it up.

Gritting his teeth, a terrifying bestiality continuously overflowed from Abel's body.

"Nicholas, you have made tremendous contributions to the Holy City, even at the cost of your life, to expose the High-ranking Abyssal Demon lurking within Holy City."

At the same time, you are favored by many leaders, and these old fogies are even targeting you... There is no need for such a council to exist.

Holy City centered around the Thirteen Knights might be better."

Han Dong waved his hand, rejecting Abel's idea.

"No... [Council Monarchy], the existence of Supreme Council is very necessary."

In such an apocalyptic world, managing a human kingdom would be ten times more difficult than in times of peace.

With Parliament as the central hub, governing the royal family and the Thirteen Knights, and with layers of powerful intervention combined with unshakeable laws, this is the most ideal management method.

With humanity on the brink of extinction, Parliament must eliminate any potential dangers.

What if... I really am an emissary of the Old King? Living in the Holy City in Human Form, I have not shown any harm, and have even performed excellently in various aspects, actively making due contributions to the Holy City.

However, I secretly kept passing on intelligence from the Holy City to the Old King.

what will you do?"

"This..." Han Dong's question immediately stunned the angry Abel. "I... I will send you out of the city before things are completely exposed."

Snap!

Han Dong slapped Abel hard on the back.

"Haha! You actually believed that... Anyway, thanks."

Abel chuckled foolishly; he had absolute trust in Han Dong.

Even if the council were to learn of Han Dong's problems one day, Abel would surely abandon the chivalric code he had always adhered to and stand by his Good Friend's side.

"Come out."

Now that he was being isolated, Han Dong had nothing to hide.

Caw... Duoze Crow perched on Han Dong's shoulder in the form of a crow.

Blending with the shadows, the Woman in Red Robe, exuding Yin Energy, slowly pressed herself against Han Dong's side.

Clang, clang... Torgu, his entire body engulfed in Hellfire, stood at the very front, ready to receive the most brutal beating at any moment.

"My Lord Emissary, can't you let me out?"

A soft and lovely voice came from Han Dong's head; it was Nicole.

"No... This area is still within the Holy City's territory. Nicole, stay inside me... I'll let you out to play next time we go to the Destiny Space."

"Um."

First Year reasons Han Dong released all the Contained Object was his own health.

Having suffered severe injuries and faced death, even after recovering for a period of time, Han Dong could only walk normally at most... unable to provide any combat assistance.

"Chen Li, Togu! If anything unusual happens later, your main focus should be assisting Abel... I can't be of much help, cough cough cough... As for my own safety, Duoze Crow will take care of it."

"I will definitely protect Dairen... I will definitely protect Dairen... Ga!"

"Let's go to the coffin first."

The Crow Caller Staff is used for support.

Han Dong slowly walked forward to the strange black wooden coffin.

Just like Abel, even with the fairy's senses, Han Dong couldn't perceive what was inside... The only thing he could do now was to open the coffin.

"Togu, secure the four corners of the coffin lid with chains... we're retreating."

However, the moment Togu's chains touched the coffin lid, he was swiftly struck by a kind of "death."

It even caused the flames burning on the surface of the chains to Transform Into a dark black color and quickly extinguish.

Terrified, Togu quickly cut the chains.

"Is the coffin lid equipped with a layer of death barrier?"

Han Dong used a small amount of magical energy to summon a black sand arm to lift the coffin... Just as the arm made contact with the coffin, a magic-breaking formation was activated, and the sand arm shattered.

"The death barrier and the magic-breaking array—it seems the council specifically set up this coffin for me, requiring me to open it personally while I 'State of Death."

"Can your body handle it?"

"Hmm... Opening the coffin is still possible, but the follow-up will have to be handled by you."

Han Dong was contemplating the meaning of death.

Dark blood vessels slowly emerge from between the skin, and the pupils turn a dark black... In this State of Death, one will not be harmed by the coffin.

Hold the coffin lid shut and forcefully pry it open.

Fairy...

A female corpse, whose body was in a state of extreme decomposition, lay inside.

As the coffin lid was lifted.

All the energy flowing in the Sub-death Space converged here and flowed into the female corpse's mouth.

"Retreat!"

Duoze Crow immediately Transform Into into Crow Person Form and grabbed Han Dong, pulling him to the edge.

Abel and the others also stepped back.

"What... what exactly is the council trying to do? How can we possibly fight against such a [Death Goddess]?"

Just then.

A sound echoed in Han Dong's mind.

"Hey... do you need my help? Hahaha! You seem pretty flustered."

The sound of maniacal laughter echoed in Han Dong's mind.

"Wait a moment."

As all the death energy in the current space is absorbed.

The drooping female corpse suddenly stood up from the coffin...

He stared intently at Han Dong and his group.

The woman's pupils were six-petaled, just like the Ghost Face Flower Han Dong had seen when he entered the garden.

Happy New Year everyone! I'll be updating regularly.
