The Depths

As Huo Ziping and the others returned to the Town Hall to complete the main quest, they successfully transitioned to the second phase of the "Inner Chapter".

Han Dong's side has completely penetrated into the Backyard area.

The passageway was littered with the remains of failed cultivators, and Han Dong didn't bother collecting such low-level Cellular Essence.

Cas walked at the very front, carrying the heavy Cold Iron Rampart in one hand to clear the way.

He also picked up the iron chain from a cultivator's body, wrapped it around his free arm, and used it to deliver a punch at the right moment (his weapon had been completely shattered during the fight with Miles).

The difficulty here is manageable for the three of them; there's not much pressure.

I did not encounter any Hell Monk similar to [Togu].

Such losers may have extraordinary health and resilience, but in the face of Han Dong's Death Domain... once their vital points are touched, death can spread throughout their bodies, causing them to die quickly.

If it doesn't die, just finish it off with a tentacle attack.

After passing three turns in a row.

What appeared before them was an exceptionally wide passage, more than five times the width of the previous passage... about the same width as some roads in the city.

The number of sparks suspended in the air has also increased significantly.

Furthermore, a thin stream of lava flowed in the center of the passage.

It seems that the source of the lava is the entrance to hell, and also the monastery that leads specifically to hell... The failed monks and Togu encountered along the way all came from there.

Once the entrance is found, Togu can be restored.

Han Dong thus achieved one of the purposes of his trip to the monastery.

"Shall we go?" Cas asked.

"Wait... something is coming out."

Amidst the floating ashes in the passage, a 'nun' slowly emerged from the depths. Her upper body was indeed that of a fairly attractive nun... but when her lower body appeared, it was rather unsettling.

The nun slowly 'crawled out' from the depths with her hands in a prayerful gesture.

Its lower body was actually the body of a locust.

It has translucent forelegs and midlegs, as well as a pair of strong, powerful black hind legs specifically designed for jumping.

The locusts' bodies were covered with a large number of lava patterns, which were somewhat similar to Toku... but they were by no means true monks.

"Hell Locust?"

Upon seeing the enemy, Diana swiftly launched four sharp bone spikes.

However, the nun suddenly widened her eyes, which were like molten cores, and at the same time, her long, dark Grasshopper Legs propelled her into the air to dodge the bone spikes, performing a series of super-fast leaps between the passageways.

They were in front of Han Dong and the others in almost a second.

Snap

The nun opened her mouth and shot out a tongue like that of an alien monster from a science fiction movie, pointing it directly at Diana.

When!

At a critical moment.

"Aid"

One of the basic knight skills of the "Lionheart Knight Order" is to lock onto teammates... This allows them to instantly burst at 200% speed to reach their teammates and provide powerful protection.

The muscles swelled up, and there were even some rock-like layers forming on the surface of the skin.

The next move is a Shield Bash.

Snap!

The blow hit squarely, sending the nun flying... Boom! She crashed heavily into a rock wall, her body completely embedded in it.

Cooperate.

Diana followed up Cas's attack closely, turning her heel and using the Night Watcher's advanced physical technique, "Instant Step," to close the distance to her target in an instant.

Still somewhat dazed from the Shield Bash, the nun didn't have time to climb out of the wall... and was met with a flying kick from Diana, which struck her heavily in the abdomen.

Boom~

The nun's body sank deeper, her movements restricted as she became stuck in the wall.

"Continuous palm strikes"

Diana, of course, had no intention of giving up.

As he kicked out, bright white bone spurs sprouted from between his palms, delivering a frontal strike at incredible speed.

As the bone spur pierced the body, the palm strike followed closely behind.

It is equivalent to causing both "piercing" and "impact" physical damage, completely shattering the nun's internal structure.

As the nun endured the barrage of blows, demonic fluids, like molten lava, flowed down the walls... Clearly, this series of attacks had caused her substantial damage.

Just then, Diana instinctively stopped her attack and ducked to avoid it.

The transparent grasshopper's forelegs, like scythes, grazed past Diana's head in the next second.

"Hellish beings... especially demons from monasteries, are all incredibly resilient."

Even though it was already riddled with holes, it was still able to mount a normal counterattack.

Han Dong immediately took over, deeply activating the G-Virus and grabbing the nun's legs, pulling with all his might... Under the full-scale activation of the G-Virus, he pulled off several of her front legs one after another.

Whoosh!

Then Diana conjured a sharp bone blade and severed the nun's most powerful black hind leg.

After its ability to act was abolished.

Clang... A chain shot out from Han Dong's arm, pointing directly at the nun's body.

As the chains penetrated completely into her body, the nun's body began to melt little by little... Transform Into strands of lava essence that were absorbed by the chains.

"Togu, is it effective?"

"It's effective, but rarely... Although these locusts have a little hellfire flowing through their bodies, they are not demons at heart. They are probably a hybrid of a demon and other species."

Even Though some of my memories are sealed away, I would never fail to recognize a hellish being with similar attributes to me.

Along with the absorption of energy.

The nun's body gradually weakened.

Suddenly... Han Dong sensed a familiar feeling.

It seemed that a virus lurking in her body had taken advantage of the nun's weakened state and was now fully erupting, eroding her body.

Hahaha!

Laughter, a maniacal laugh, came from the nun's mouth.

Her face was also adorned with bright and exaggerated red lips at some point.

Han Dong and the Earl's consciousness within him both sensed this similar attribute at the same time - "maniacal laughter".

"Hahaha! Nicholas, you're absolutely right... There really are other 'laughter' like mine in this little world... and this kind of 'laughter' is even more obsessive and can affect other species."

Now I finally understand what you're thinking. No wonder you're in such a hurry to get here... Hahaha!

The Earl was excited.

A bloodhound's head rapidly formed and swallowed the laughing nun in one gulp... This scene also startled Cas and Diana, who were not far behind.

After all, such a bloodhound would be Visual Pollution for both of them.

Smack smack~ The bloodhound chewed on its large mouth, swallowed and digested, allowing the Earl to taste an extremely small amount of the blood of maniacal laughter.

Earl by long-lost joy and excitement, the count began to laugh wildly.

This also elicited the same wild laughter from Han Dong.

Hahaha...

Laughter echoed through the empty corridor, immediately receiving a response from many nuns.

Nuns with red lips and bodies mostly resembling grasshoppers crawled out from the depths, some of them even exceeding three meters in height.

"Nicholas, hurry up and break in... The clown you mentioned must be in the Depths."

I was busy all day with unexpected situations today, and the second update will be delivered at 11 PM.
