Entrance to the Divine Capital

"Hmph! I'm done wasting words with you. Sooner or later, I'll kill every last one of these bastards..."

Throughout the battle in the alien ruins, Maritis had been carefully observing from the shadows.

She showed considerable disdain for the situation in which those young knights had been completely suppressed by their opponents.

Yet at the critical moment, Han Dong had suddenly entered the fray, using "Tentacle Isomerization—Bloodhound" in combination with the destiny treasure "Master of the Blood Oath, Roghorien's Netherblood Skull (Damaged)," as well as his second-layer talent—"Tentacle Enthusiast."

The Bloodhound created through the overlap of all three had nearly reached the strength of an Ancestral Body, allowing it to suppress the opponent instantly.

Even Maritis had been deeply shocked by such a performance.

Although Han Dong, as an envoy, had established connections with several ancient beings, his own level was not particularly high.

For him to wield tentacle abilities of such intensity at a low level was enough to make Maritis pay him even closer attention.

Thus, she added another note to her little notebook of mating candidates—'very skilled with tentacles.'

As soon as the exchange here ended, Han Dong immediately noticed his teammates' condition.

Demps and Abel were both alright.

As for physical injuries, they could recover with sufficient time through healing magic and their own regenerative abilities... Abel was the type to grow stronger with every battle. Once his body recovered, it would become even stronger than before.

Mia, however, was in much worse condition. Aside from her physical injuries, she had suffered severe psychological trauma.

Even Han Dong himself had not expected the Particle Radiation Squad to have a member whose "destructive power" surpassed even that of Captain Tesla... and Mia had happened to run into him.

In order to survive.
