Chapter 698: Chapter 698: Going to War
Other Derry Town – Town Hall
Since the duel was agreed upon, the remaining few hours only needed to be spent preparing.
“Sothing is strange… Why, after laying out this perfect ‘facade’ setup, did the man suddenly change his mind, giving up a dumpling that he could’ve easily taken, insisting on a head-on showdown with the team leader?
He must know the team leader’s strength; it’s impossible for him to have high odds of winning this.
There must be so problem; it’s possible that it is, as the team leader ntioned, a simple pursuit of fairness and justice.
But I find it hard to believe that a human being deeply engrossed in black magic could still hold that purity of heart.
...
There must be so problem.”
Yu Wu’s thinking differed from his leader’s; he did not believe that Han Dong could be persuaded in the spur of a mont by the leader’s righteousness… There must be so plot behind all of this.
However, no matter how he spinned it, he couldn’t figure it out. Maybe he was missing so crucial clues.
“Yu Wu, don’t think too much.
Since this duel has already been acknowledged by the town mayor, there will not be much variables… The one with more strength will be the one to claim the final treasure.”
Huo Ziping was ditating on the ground with his legs crossed, the Dragon Pattern Sword laid horizontally on his knees, his condition optimal.
During this period, Huo Ziping would maintain the rotation of his heart thod, enhancing his ntal defense to the maximum level.
At that point,
Ma Taotao ca out from the partition, her palms awash with sweat after finishing a high-intensity surgery… She had freed Gongsun Hao from his unconscious state and wiped off the side effects demonization had on his body.
As soon as he regained consciousness, Gongsun Hao relied on his robust physique to get to the room where the team gathered.
“Boss… be careful. That person is very strange.”
Gongsun Hao had always admired the team leader’s strength and trusted him over the course of ti.
But in the basent, after a face-to-face battle with Nicholas, Gongsun Hao couldn’t keep his heart at peace.
The pressure that Bloodhound brought was simply too strong, thinking back on it even resulted in Gongsun Hao falling into a short period of fear, fearing that it would take a long ti for him to nd the psychological trauma.
“Tell us about your battle with Nicholas in detail.”
“Um…”
As Gongsun Hao narrated his experiences in the basent, Huo Ziping also opened his bewildered eyes…
Huo Ziping said in puzzlent, “According to the match-making system of Fate, these people’s stage must not differ too much from ours. The breaking the breed ti definitely wouldn’t exceed two years… Based on your description, Gongsun Hao, this Nicholas has already achieved deep-level demonization and even allows his tentacles to undergo ‘heteromorphization’.”
“There’s no mistake… that Bloodhound was definitely a manifestation of heteromorphization.”
Ma Taotao, who was standing at the side, was also expressionless as if she ‘doesn’t believe’ it.
“It’s impossible, unless he’s not a human… Is there any possibility that he is a mber of the Demon Clan, or he himself is a Fallen? Maybe, the Holy City is secretly conducting so experints with the Fallen.”
Gongsun Hao imdiately discarded Ma Taotao’s opinion: “If he was a demon or a Fallen, I’d be dead already.”
Huo Ziping also added, “My sword’s heart can differentiate whether it’s a human or not… If Nicholas can achieve deep demonization, there’s only one conclusion… he belongs to the ‘Purifiers’, unaffected by corruption.
No wonder he exudes so much self-confidence and challenged to a duel. I will put forth my best effort.”
Ma Taotao continued, “Boss, the clerk has already been all prepped up… She seed quite excited when she heard that the mayor would be supervising this duel.
Coordinating with you, our odds of winning are very high.
After all, the only one who could pose a real threat to the clerk in Derry Town would be the mayor.
There is an 80-90% chance that they would let the fourth rank Female Corpse assist them in battle… As long as we make preparations for ntal defense and not be deeply influenced by illusions. Furthermore, if we guard against the issue of corpse energy, we can establish our victory.
Even if the prosecutor summons a large number of the dead to participate in the battle through corpse energy coupled with witchcraft, the clerk’s arm could definitely restrain it.
There shouldn’t be any issue.”
“Ma Taotao, there’s no need to analyze our own advantages before the battle… When the fight starts, just give it your all.
The opponents we are facing this ti are definitely not as simple as we imagined, they may not be the top team within the Holy City… but this person Nicholas is undoubtedly one of the top young talents in the Holy City.”
“Yes, boss.”
“Yu Wu, what are your thoughts?” Huo Ziping was more driven towards listening to their ‘strategist’s opinion before the battle.
“I always feel that sothing is wrong, but I can’t tell what it is…”
“Then don’t think too much, since the duel is personally overseen by the mayor, there definitely won’t be any changes in the rules… I just need to put forth all my strength.
You guys, especially Gongsun Hao, take this ti to recuperate and recharge.
If we win the duel, the collection of clown parts will enter its final phase… Pennywise will not be easy to deal with.”
“Mm.”
The Dragon City Team dispersed.
Huo Ziping’s mind was at peace, all he wanted was a fair battle with Han Dong.
…
[23:30]
The duel, presided over and personally supervised by the mayor, will comnce at Derry Town Central Plaza in half an hour.
The [Ten Demons] who received the information put down what they were doing and rushed over from different areas.
Humphing a nursery rhy, Charlie, the high hat wearing Weirdneck who used a tadpole’s legs as a cane, was the first to arrive.
He was very interested in such an entertaining activity in Derry Town.
In a short while,
A little girl dressed in a dark blue long dress also floated out from the darkness, the area she passed was filled with a bit more carbon dust and fog… Her pupils were of pure black color, hiding inexpressible rage.
The Undying Demon, Jason, also dragged his mountain axe to the plaza; it seed that he had just gotten off work.
La la la♪
A little while later, an eerie lody drowned out the nursery rhy Weirdneck Charlie was humming.
Accompanied by countless arms growing out from the ground, sewer, and grass, the clerk’s main body also arrived.
At the sa ti, the four mbers of Dragon City Team also showed up in succession. Huo Ziping was exuding a light golden aura, his condition top-notch.
When it was almost twelve o’clock midnight.
The Holy City Team arrived, the situation got quite exaggerated.
The newly appointed tenth demon, Michael Miles,
The HOA Director, who also got a brand new shell, Director Sam,
The head of the monastery, Togu Gonzales,
All accompanied the team as they arrived.
Han Dong was walking at the front of the team, pushing a cold cart in front of him, with a sealed body bag on it.
It’s ti.
A lightless area forms in the center of the plaza.
The town mayor arrived.
The clerk bowed first to show her boundless respect for the mayor…
“Please, the duel participants start handing over each of your ‘residents fight companion list’, or you can directly tell … Once confird, it cannot be changed.”
“My mayor, I will be assisting Huo Ziping in battle.” The clerk couldn’t wait to perform herself in front of the mayor. She wanted to crush her opponent with her absolute strength; she didn’t really want Huo Ziping to do anything.
“Hmm… Nicholas, who will be your assistant in battle?”
