"What the hell are you?"
"Human," Han Dong answered without hesitation.
Celeste finally compromised and reached a temporary cooperation agreement with Han Dong. "Okay … If I'm not injured during the battle, you don't have to come out.
Even if you're not afraid of the contamination, with your physical fitness, you'll be torn apart if you're not careful. "
"Okay."
Suddenly, the stern-looking Celeste shifted her gaze slightly, and her words became a little hesitant. "Um … Anyway, about treating my wounds … Thank you.
If you can kill this completely corrupted person, we can discuss your abilities in private. "
"Okay."
Han Dong was not worried at all.
After all, Mr. Black And White had left him a way out in this matter.
Once the matter here was settled, Han Dong would immediately open the scroll. Even if some information leaked out, Mr. Black And White would deal with it in private.
Just like that, the two of them began their battle plan.
This would be Han Dong's first indirect contact with a life form outside the city, and it would also be Han Dong's first time cooperating with a real knight in battle.
…
Baker's mansion.
The flames had already ignited inside the giant aberrant sycamore tree.
Before the tree was burned and collapsed, Cass and the other two successfully escaped through the tree hole.
With the strength of the three and their skillful cooperation, they successfully entered the interior and killed the main body of the ghost, "a female head entangled in countless tree roots."
During the battle, Cass, who was in charge of leading the charge, had deep cuts on his shoulders, armpits, waist, and inner thighs. He had also been contaminated to a certain extent.
Currently, Sophia was applying healing Holy Light magic and using Holy Water to wash away the contamination in his wounds.
"Where's Brother Andwa?"
Cass, who was receiving treatment, was the first to think of Han Dong. He looked around and called out his name.
However, no sound came from the gloomy mansion.
"Impossible … Andwa's friend, together with his powerful summoned creature, might be a little stronger than me in terms of overall strength. His summoned creature can directly kill ghosts. There shouldn't be a problem for him to stay outside and cover the rear. "
Cass found that the communication device could not be connected.
After receiving treatment, Cass immediately started searching the mansion … His eyes were filled with worry.
"Captain Cas, we found something here!"
Coslin's detection ability was still very strong.
In the master's bedroom on the first floor, they found a secret passageway that led downwards.
Obviously, this passage should lead to the same place as the passage at the bottom of the lake.
"Brother Andwa, could it be that you've chosen to go down first?"
At the side, Sophia hurriedly followed up.
"Big Sister said that she would only tell us to go down when she needs our help … It's best if we don't go down. Otherwise, if we disturb Big Sister, she might be angry. If there is really danger, we will only be a burden if we go down. "
Cass had the opposite opinion.
"Andwa's friend also knows this, but he still chose to go down … The reason might be related to time.
We spent more than an hour searching the mansion and killing the spirit's main body. On the other hand, Knight Celeste, who had gone underground, did not send any messages back.
If everything went well for her, she would have come up long ago. "
Hearing this, Feya also began to worry. "Yes … My sister has always been very strong. Even if she is in danger, she will not ask for help, not to mention that we are only apprentice knights."
"Go down! Raise your spirits by 100% and go down to support them. "
Cass would never allow his companions, who had gone through life and death with him, to die in this bounty mission. He had to bring Han Dong out of the mansion safely.
…
Underground.
In the center of the sacrificial array burning with green flames, Han Dong finally saw the true form of the Patriarch, Beck Marcellus. To be precise, it should be:
[The Fallen Beck]
"What … is this?"
Beck's current "form" had already exceeded Han Dong's imagination.
He immediately understood what life outside the city was and why humans, who had already mastered firearms, would be completely defeated in a short period of time.
Since his rebirth, Han Dong had already seen some contaminated bodies.
"Ghoul"
"Old Woman Moving Horizontally"
"Tree Spirit Ghost"
Even if these things had lost their self-awareness, they still maintained a human form … At least 80% of them still looked like humans.
In terms of body shape and various characteristics, they belonged to the category of humans.
However.
This Beck Marcellus had already exceeded this limit.
First, let's talk about body shape and characteristics.
Three meters … I'm afraid it's close to four meters tall.
Other than the swollen head that barely resembled a human, the rest of the body was already inhuman. Most of it was made up of blood-red tentacles.
As the tentacles that made up his body wriggled, one could vaguely see hideous human heads hidden inside.
They were the poor security personnel and their families used for the sacrifice.
These tentacles seemed to be freely controlled by Beck.
If it wanted to be soft, it could be soft, quickly entangling and invading the target's body.
If it wanted to be hard, it could be harder than steel, turning into a drill and tearing the target's body apart.
To fight such a thing, with Han Dong's current ability, he would probably die after being toyed with by the other party.
Moreover, the Fallen Beck also had a terrifying characteristic.
On his back, there was a giant eye with a radius of about one meter … This made it impossible to sneak an attack on him from behind.
As long as an ordinary Novice Knight looked at this giant eye directly, they would probably turn into pus.
A few people's bodies might be able to resist this strong contamination, but they would also degenerate and become Beck's slaves.
Celeste simply analyzed the current situation.
"This guy seems to be planning to activate the evil formation again to suppress the sacrificial victim whose consciousness has not completely dissipated … Once all the sacrificial victim's consciousness is gone, he will become a completely independent body and will be even more difficult to deal with.
I'm ready!
Ah Lun boy, remember this!
Once you see that I've been 'contaminated', immediately come out and treat me … After the treatment, hide obediently. I'll attract its attention, you don't have to worry. "
"Okay."
After saying that.
Celeste began to prepare for battle.
She drank a bottle of magic holy water that shone with blue starlight … This holy water could not only increase an individual's resistance to contamination, but also continuously replenish magic power.
At the same time, she continuously applied buffs to herself.
"King's Blessing"
"Life Blessing"
"Retribution Blessing"
"Strength Blessing"
The buff was complete.
Just as [The Fallen Beck] was about to activate the formation again.
Celeste flew out and waved the flail in her hand with all her strength.
A one-meter-long holy hammer was formed in mid-air, and it smashed into Beck's chest. Several of his tentacles were broken and shattered.
However, as soon as the broken tentacles fell to the ground, they seemed to have an independent consciousness and immediately crawled back to the main body.
Han Dong, who was hiding in the dark, noticed a key detail …
[The Fallen Beck]
He had just made an inconspicuous retraction action.
When attacked, he quickly retracted an important item similar to a book into his back area.
