Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Female Corpse
The reason why Han Dong was certain that no one would come to his aid was because of the “Yellow mark” warning before the match…
Why would there suddenly appear a [sub-death space] on the verge of life and reality?
If this was outside the city, Han Dong couldn’t guess the answer.
But the current situation appeared in the knights’ grand assembly, appearing in the Colosseum that was completely monitored by the Holy City… There was only one reason, it was the council’s doing.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Even though the great writer Stephen has been identified as a demon and has been executed together by the captains… the evidence he provided about me and Dumps bearing the outside city attributes is real.
The councilors must have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of the evidence.
Considering the current situation, there is more evidence about me, and the council is more concerned about my influence on the Holy City… Dumps is secondary.
Such uncertainties must be verified for their ‘danger’ before officially joining the Knight Regiment.”
There must be a [Wise Man] in the council equivalent to Mr. Black White.
Anticipating in advance that I would try my best to withdraw from the match, various ‘coincidences’ were used to hinder the chance of withdrawl.
Even the fact that I would cross the Apple Tree Path through the death space was calculated, and the ‘sub-death space’ was created in advance.
“This is trouble…”
Abe naturally had his reactions, considering some secrets of Han Dong and asked, “Could it be… that the council was intentionally targeting you? This does not comply with the open and fair rules of the knight’s grand assembly.”
Han Dong nodded, “Sorry… to have involved you too.
The so-called ‘openness and fairness’ only need to bring out the internal video recordings after the conference… Find an excuse about the inner space setting of the Colosseum, it can easily be glossed over.”
He gritted his teeth, and a terrifying beast-like aura constantly spilled out from Abe.
“You have made great contributions to the Holy City, Nicholas, and you have endangered your life to expose the high-level demon lurking in the Holy City.
At the same time, you won the favor of many captains. But these old-fashioned people still want to target you… A council like this doesn’t need to exist.
Perhaps a Holy City centered around the Thirteen Knight Orders would be better.”
But Han Dong refuted Abe’s thoughts with a wave of his hand.
“No… The [Parliamentary Monarchy], the existence of the Supreme Council is necessary.
Under such an apocalypse, managing a human kingdom is ten times more difficult than in peaceful times.
The Council, as the central hub, dominating the royal family and the Thirteen Knight Orders, layered strong power interference cooperating with unshakable laws, this is the most ideal management method.
As humanity is on the brink of extinction, the council must rule out any potential dangers.
I mean… What if I’m really the Old King’s messenger? Living in the Holy City in human form without showing any harm, and even excelling in all aspects while actively contributing to the Holy City.
But, I’ve been relaying information about the Holy City to the Old King in secret.
What would you do?”
“This…” Han Dong’s question left the outraged Abe immediately stupefied, “I… I would get you out of the city before things completely leak out.”
Smack!
Han Dong heavily slapped Abe’s back.
“Hahaha! You really believe… But thank you.”
Abe chuckled stupidly. His trust in Han Dong was absolute.
Even if one day Han Dong’s question was known to the council, Abe would definitely abandon the knight’s doctrine he had been adhering to all along and stand by his good friend’s side.
…
“Come out.”
Since he was isolated alone, Han Dong had nothing to hide.
Gah… Duo Zeya stood on Han Dong’s shoulder in the Crowman form.
The woman in the red dress, emitting Yin Qi from her body mixed with the shadow, slowly leaned towards Han Dong’s side.
Clang, clang… Togu, all over in hellfire, stood at the very front, ready to withstand the most painful beatings at any time.
“Lord Messenger, can’t I come out?”
A delicate, adorable voice, belonging to Nicole, rang within Han Dong’s head.
“I can’t… this place is still well within the Holy City’s jurisdiction. Nicole, stay inside me…next time we enter Fate Space, I will let you out to play.”
“Okay.”
The reason Han Dong released all his containment objects was primarily due to the state of his body.
Having endured severe trauma and an attack from Death, even after some recovery, at most, he could only manage a normal walk… unable to lend any assistance in battle.
“Chen Li, Togu! If any abnormalities occur, your main duty is to assist Abe… I’m basically useless, cough, cough… As for my personal safety, Duo Zeya will be responsible for it.”
“I will defy…definitely protect Han… definitely protect Han…caw!”
“Let’s head to the location of the coffin first.”
He used the Raven Staff for support.
Han Dong slowly advanced to the strange black wooden coffin.
Like Abe, even if Han Dong used the fairy senses, he couldn’t perceive the situation inside… The only option left was to lift up the coffin lid.
“Togu, use chains to hook each corner of the lid… let’s fall back.”
However, the moment Togu’s iron chain came into contact with the coffin lid, it swiftly fell victim to an attack from [Death].
The flame burning on the chain’s surface even morphed into shadows and flickered out swiftly.
Startled, Togu quickly cut off his chains.
“There’s a layer of Death Boundary on the coffin lid?”
Han Dong applied a smidge of magic energy, summoned a Black Sand Arm to open the coffin…just as the arm brushed the coffin, a Demon-Breaking Array was activated, and the sand arm scattered.
“Death Boundary and Demon-Breaking Array, it seems like the council special set this coffin, requiring me to open it in a state of Death.”
“Can your body handle it?”
“Hmm… I can still manage opening the coffin, but you guys will have to take care of everything else.”
Han Dong meditated on the mood of Death.
A network of gloomy veins gradually manifested on his skin, his pupils turned a shade of gloomy dark…in such a state of death, he would not be harmed by the coffin.
He grabbed the coffin lid, forcing it open.
A fairy…
A female corpse, whose body was already significantly decayed, lay within it.
As the coffin lid was lifted.
The essence circulating within the Sub-death Space all converged towards this point, flowing into the corpse’s mouth.
“Fall back!”
Duo Zeya instantly morphed into a Crowman Form, grabbing Han Dong and flying to the edge.
Abe and the others also retreated.
“What… What exactly is the council playing at? How could we ever oppose such a [Death Goddess]?”
Right at that moment.
A sound reverberated within Han Dong’s mind.
“Hey…do you need my help? Aha haha! Judging by your appearance, you seem to be panicking.”
Manic laughter echoed within Han Dong’s mind.
“Wait.”
As all the Death Qi within the current space was absorbed.
The female corpse, whose head was drooping, suddenly stood up from the coffin…
She stared intensely at Han Dong and his companions.
The woman’s pupils displayed six petal-like patterns, just like the ghost face flowers Han Dong saw upon entering the garden.
What do you think?
