Chapter 705: Chapter 400 You Really Are a Good Comrade (Part 1)_2 Chapter 705: Chapter 400 You Really Are a Good Comrade (Part 1)_2 The entrance to the watchpost had descended into utter chaos. As they realized they were no match for these puppets, stronger warriors were gathering here, and more potent defense weapons were being deployed.
However, these puppets had been crafted by Xien Waidao himself, and his cards and various abilities were already incredibly powerful; the puppets he had made were quite forceful as well.
Moreover, their goal wasn’t to capture this location but to create chaos here. Forty puppets managed to tie down most of the soldiers, plunging the vicinity into disarray.
After observing for a while, Xien Waidao remarked, “The defensive forces here don’t seem to be up to par.”
“The strong ones have been elevated,” Dave sighed helplessly. “Powerful warriors can’t act frequently, or once they use power beyond the norm, they will imdiately be escalated to the status of Gods. The Gods are then taken away from here and sent to another place. Thus, our collective strength gets weaker and weaker until we’re progressively beaten back by the Demon King.”
“What a tedious system. Can’t the Gods co back?”
“Not usually, unless soone insults their honor, forcing the offended to challenge the insulter to a duel. But our faith in the Gods is imnsely devout; we wouldn’t do such a thing. And even if we did, it would likely result in death, since no one can defeat a God.”
“I see. Becoming a God seems pretty easy in this world, then. Why doesn’t everyone beco a God?”
“We don’t have enough resources, and it’s simply not possible. Plus, if a portion beca Gods, what would the rest do? Leave them to die?”
Looking at Dave’s face, filled with regret, Xien Waidao realized that the quality of the warriors in this world was generally quite high.
After quietly observing for a bit longer, Xien Waidao finally spotted the defensive weakness here with the help of his eyeball accessory.
Pulling Dave aside, Xien Waidao pointed at the wall and declared, “I challenge you to a duel!”
“What are you doing?” Dave asked in confusion once more.
“Initiating a duel, then playing the cards. Let think, to take on a wall, I need so special cards, so I should use so of my backup cards.”
Xien Waidao rummaged through his backup deck, switching to his cards specialized for buildings, and then he started to damage the wall before him.
Naturally, a wall cannot fight back, but its health points were absurdly high, seemingly endless at a glance.
But for a player, as long as you dare to show a health bar, you can definitely bring it down!
Xien Waidao took out various curious items that could chip away at the wall’s health, tossing card after card onto the wall, while Dave could only watch helplessly as Xien Waidao slapped one strange object after another onto it.
At first thinking that Xien Waidao was going mad again, Dave’s worldview was completely overturned when he saw the wall begin to crumble after a few hits and a massive hole erge in less than a couple of minutes.
The walls of the watchpost were one of humanity’s greatest reliances, so strong that even the demons from the Dark Forest could not breach them, yet now they’d been compromised within less than fifteen minutes.
Dave stood dumbfounded as Xien Waidao pulled him through the hole in the wall, only for Xien Waidao to point at the void and shout, “I challenge you to a duel!”
“What are you doing now!”
“Dueling this hole, and then repairing it.”
“We’re about to be discovered! And can this thing just be repaired out of thin air?”
“Don’t worry, I left us enough ti. Please believe in miracles.”
Dave could only stand to the side and watch Xien Waidao perform a series of elaborate motions, alternating with highly embarrassing gestures and spouting nonsensical lines that made even an onlooker like Dave feel unbearably awkward.
But what shocked him even more was that Xien Waidao actually managed to repair the hole.
And after the repair, the wall looked even better than before.
Furthermore, he had not used anything! He had repaired the damage with just curious artifacts.
At this mont, Dave’s beliefs were shattered to pieces; what he had learned in church school seed like a joke, the kind that could be retold until one was eighty and still provide entertainnt.
The premise is that he could live to be eighty years old.
Being led by Xien Waidao towards the outpost, Dave now understood why Idiotic Divine was so wary of Xien Waidao.
This guy, simply isn’t an existence that can be asured by common sense.
As Xien Waidao led him in a jog, by the ti Dave snapped out of it, he found himself already inside the outpost.
To resist the Demon King, the interior of the outpost was like a large fortress, where newborns were taken imdiately upon birth to be ripened and educated, turning them into warriors capable of standing on their own in the shortest amount of ti possible.
Their food was all obtained through the Divine Artifact, the taste of which could only be described as a disaster, tasting like sothing rotten and spoiled, yet it was greatly beneficial for their physical growth.
When they had grown enough, they would go to specialized education schools to learn how to devoutly treat the Gods and how to combat nearby Demons.
Different people would demonstrate different talents in this process, changing their value accordingly; so would beco Scouts, so Holy Knights, and so powerful individuals would have to learn how to control their own power to prevent themselves from exerting too much strength and being identified and deified by the Law of this world.
Entertainnt here was a taboo, even playing rock-paper-scissors was deed an act that had to be punished at a correctional facility. Warriors on the front lines developed severe psychological trauma during this process, and so needed special thods to relieve their own stress.
The mories here are hard, but not really sad.
What truly made Dave feel sorrow was a huge stele.
On the stele were inscribed tiny characters, each a na, and humanity had sacrificed far too much to fight the Demon King.
Dave hadn’t expected to co to this place after entering.
Normally, he avoided this place to not see the nas of past friends. But now, as he did, mories rushed back like an avalanche, leaving him breathless.
Noticing Dave’s state, Xien Waidao imdiately pointed at him and said, “I want to duel with you.”
“What are you doing!” Dave shouted in disbelief.
“To be exact, I want to duel with your past shadows.”
“That’s possible?”
Dave felt that Xien Waidao opposite him was a complete madman, wanting to duel with anything he saw.
What surprised him even more was that the other man actually succeeded.
He watched as Xien Waidao started performing a series of bizarre moves, antics that made onlookers want to pull out their hair, yet when done by him, they even seed a bit cool after a while.
And with his movents, Dave felt as if strange objects were being slapped onto him, his fear of fighting Demons was slowly easing away, and his mood seed to be improving as well.
Covering his chest, he found his mood better than it had ever been and asked incredulously, “Strange, what’s happening here?”
“I battled with your Heart Demon, and I won.”
“No, I an, how did you manage to do that?”
“I’ve died so many tis after all, isn’t it normal that I have so good skills?”
Looking at the smug Xien Waidao, Dave no longer knew how to judge him.
A quirky character, unbridled in action, and doing things so outrageous that even the Demon King’s lackeys would call it insanity.
But just for that recent act alone, Dave felt that this guy was actually pretty good.
Xien Waidao…
You truly are a good comrade!
