Chapter 920 - Chapter 920 Chapter 919 Token
Chapter 920: Chapter 919 Token Chapter 920: Chapter 919 Token In a core control room filled with black metal hoses.
The hoses formed the floor and walls, embedding various precise instruments and neural cables that connected every district of the City of Gods.
The overseer in charge of monitoring and controlling the current promotion competition had buried his Body within the cables, overseeing the entire “promotion competition.”
Suddenly, the body of the overseer trembled.
His left little finger dropped to the ground without warning.
“Hmm? Incredible!
The quality of these slaves is such that if well nurtured, they might actually be able to…”
At this thought, a sinister smile surfaced under the golden mask.
…
Confronting fear.
Han Dong became an incarnation of The Dead in the desert.
Merging the willpower and resentment of a thousand lower-class slaves into the scythe, he thrust it into the target’s spine, pinning it to the ground.
His teammates, suppressing their internal fear by extreme means, inflicted various attacks on the monster fixed to the ground, primarily aiming to sever its fingers.
In this manner, they exhausted the target’s entire physical strength, until it no longer made ‘creak creak’ sounds scraping the floor.
When the “Death Sandification” effect of the scythe surpassed the monster’s regeneration rate,
the will of death successfully spread through the monster’s entire body, causing full sandification… At that moment, Han Dong was like the envoy of the Death God who reaped soles in the desert.
The woman with screaming fingers was ultimately transformed into a [Dried Corpse].
As Han Dong pulled out the scythe, the dry corpse’s body turned into a pile of sand.
However, it seemed something had fallen amidst the sand.
“Everyone worked hard… Mia, well done!”
Han Dong especially gave a thumbs up to Mia, who was leaning against the wall.
In this battle against the Terror Source Monster, Mia’s assistance was the most significant… These past ten or so days of extreme experiences had allowed Mia to grow tremendously.
At the same time, the stone hanging in Han Dong’s heart was completely laid to rest.
After all, even Han Dong couldn’t be sure that in a competition primarily about “fleeing,” whether it would be possible at all to kill these monsters, whether there would be a ‘full health revival’ twist at the last moment.
It turned out that he had succeeded.
The first thing Han Dong did afterward was to return the “Toad Pearl” to Maritzis.
Dead-man’s Pose released.
The sand grains, serving as the sole means of energy transfer, reconstituted themselves into skin, blood vessels, flesh, and various organs.
The will of The Dead contained in the scythe also smoothly returned to the ring under the command of the High Priest… With this, Han Dong could now perfectly control this bone ring.
The Toad Pearl loaded inside his body had been almost entirely depleted.
As the “Toad Pearl” was reingested by Maritzis, the weakened state was also lifted.
She merely nodded at Han Dong and didn’t say much… In reality, Han Dong’s performance had surpassed her initial expectations.
The death of the monster turned the entire floor into a safe zone.
At the same time, Han Dong bent down and pulled out a mysterious jade finger from the pile of sand the monster corpse had become… It’s exact purpose unknown, it didn’t seem like any kind of equipment.
It was at this moment.
The prompt from the Fate System rang out.
“You have obtained the advancement reward of [Imhotep’s Great Escape]”
[Achievement Condition]: Slay an ‘uncombatable’ ‘Terror Source Monster’
The ‘Terror Source Monster’ was a creature created by the flesh of the Fear Priest of the Black Pyramid, namely the chief judge of this competition – Tutramon.
In the settings, it was marked as ‘uncombatable’.
Participants who are killed by the “Terror Source Monster” will not die, they will fall into a deep coma for a week due to the invasion of fear. The “Terror Source Monster” is set to be above the standard of the competition, and competitors who manage to kill such a monster will be given a “special opportunity”.
Reward: The Black Pyramid’s Token – “Fingers”
After passing the [Promotion Competition], hand this token over to the Terror Source High Priest – Tutramon, and you will be qualified to work under him, becoming an apprentice priest of the Black Pyramid.
…
After listening to the System’s prompt.
Dumps’ eyes shone as he immediately called out, “Nicholas! This is what I mentioned to you before, the [Identity Assessment] that is related to the World of Fate.
Make sure you secure this item! It should serve as a lead-in for the [Identity Assessment].”
“Alright…”
That’s right.
By means of such a token, one could work directly inside the Black Pyramid, moving one step closer to the Pharaoh.
The so-called “Terror Source High Priest,” from the sound of the title, seems very grand. He must be one of the important figures in the Black Pyramid… but the details would have to wait until we meet the High Priest in person.
“Let’s take a short rest, then we’ll look for the ‘exit’.”
“Hmm… But Nicholas, don’t you think it’s strange?
If the so-called ‘Terror Source Monster’ is already above the level of the competition, shouldn’t our killing such a monster directly qualify us as passing the contest?”
“Perhaps the nature of killing the monster is different from the nature of passing the competition.
The Black Pyramid needs to verify our qualities in a certain aspect through the [Promotion Competition]… The method to assess our qualities is to see if we can find the ‘exit’.
Lets first proceed down the stairs and take a look at the lower floor.”
…
The feat of killing the Terror Source Monster drew great attention to this team, especially Han Dong, who exhibited the Death Form and contributed the most.
For a moment, the lofty Pharaoh felt a scent of ‘threat’.
The Warden – Bath, who was seriously watching the contest in the beast fight arena, after showing a surprised expression, gradually changed it into a relieved smile.
“It seems I underestimated you… with such a performance, [the Colosseum] can’t possibly hold you back.
Inside the Black Pyramid, you should be granted the position of a ‘Probationary Priest’.
Although our beast fight arena will also receive very tangible rewards for providing talent, I still somewhat regret parting with you.
To think you could execute a ‘Finger’ of the Terror Source High Priest with such a body.
Truly worthy of an ‘outsider’.”
At this moment, higher-ups from the beast fight arena approached Warden Bath, inquiring about Han Dong’s specifics… so as to negotiate with the Black Pyramid later on and aim to sell this slave at an extremely high price.
…
Back to our perspective.
Due to the killing of the Terror Source Monster, this floor had become a [Safe Zone].
The cost of the kill was high, with nearly all of the team members’ physical energy being exhausted… a long rest was necessary, after all, Han Dong suspected every floor had its own Terror Source Monster and it was essential to ensure an ample physical reserve.
However.
During the rest period, a series of footsteps came from the stairwell.
Han Dong and the others immediately entered a state of combat readiness, as it was uncertain what came to this level… it might be another team, or another Terror Source Monster sent to fill the vacancy.
As the footsteps approached,
a bald young man emerged at the other end of the corridor, followed by teammates with a look of horror in their eyes.
“Gu Xu…”
Han Dong frowned, not expecting to encounter the team he least wanted to meet so early on.
The Dragon City Team had arrived on this floor… its members also regarded Han Dong and his companions as Demons, and immediately adopted a combat-ready stance.
