Chapter 763: Chapter 763: Strange Shapes
Black Lotus Stone Village.
Sitting on his giant sword, Han Dong had a better view.
Just from the number of stone bungalows, there should be hundreds of the Chaos Dead living here.
At the village gate stood a dead man with an iron yoke around his neck, resembling a condemned prisoner; his eyes, ears, and mouth were permanently stitched shut, leaving only his iron-nosed nose to carry out its function.
It was he who first sniffed out Han Dong’s scent, and he was also the village chief of Black Lotus Stone Village.
In addition, there were other dead standing next to the village chief.
One of them was draped in a white robe.
More precisely, the white robe was ‘growing’ on the individual’s body… The connective tissue between the robe and the body was clearly visible, and the material of the robe was slowly being assimilated into a ‘genuine skin texture’.
Their hands were clasped in prayer at their chest.
Her face looked like a pure twenty-something nun, but overall, it exuded a unique ‘white death aura’… Through the X-ray effect of his Demon Eye, Han Dong could see the ‘combined sections’ in the nun’s mouth.
Lisa’s ‘combined section’ was her arm muscles, which helped her easily swing the Blasphemy Heavy Sword.
The nun’s ‘combined part’ was her tongue, which had evolved into several fleshy white strings of tissue in her oral cavity that allowed her to recite a terrifying prayer.
The prayer released by this nun also had a purifying effect.
However, it was done by ‘internal death’, killing the pollutants and individual cells in a thorough cleanse… To an extent, it was better than the usual cleansing effect, but it also exposed the cleansed subject to great risks.
Similar to ‘chemotherapy’.
She was known as the ‘Suffering Nun’.
In addition,
There was also a very tall dead person standing here.
With a height of nearly five meters, complemented by the heavy-duty steam exoskeleton armor on his body, made him the largest villager in the village.
Due to the impact of the Fallen, this steam knight’s body and its equipment had undergone a ‘Synchronous Fall’, resulting in a merger of flesh and various machinery.
He had a unique destiny in the Chaos District – ‘Steam Giant Beast’
1. There were five thick metal tubes extending from the back and connected to the bare back of his head.
2. Equipped with an oversized and exaggerated brass metal shoulder armor, its height even exceeded the knight’s head.
3. The exoskeleton steam armor was connected with a kind of ‘blood vessel-like’ soft metal strip and various secret gears, achieving 100% synchronization with the body’s movements without delay.
4. The front forearm was about twice the size of the rear one. In addition to the steam hydraulic device equipped with an impact fist, the inside of the arm was also equipped with heavy weaponry, capable of firing bullets continuously, launching single-shot grenade cannons, or even being modified into a flamethrower.
This dead steam knight was strange in that he didn’t exude death qi like other Chaos Dead.
He turned death qi into a steam power source, forming a unique-‘Steam Death Qi’, which was being optimized for recycling between his armor and body’s inner circulation system.
Meanwhile, the knight’s exoskeleton armor was equipped with some ‘small hole structures.’
Whenever he killed an enemy on the battlefield, he could quickly extract death qi from the dead enemy through the ‘small hole structure’, growing a tentacle filled with metal and equipped with an ‘air intake’.
As long as he entered the battlefield, he would become more and more powerful.
Until the last piece of equipment on his body could no longer operate.
Finally, a magic-type Chaos Dead was ‘floating’ behind the village chief… The person was probably from the Doomsday Knight Brigade or the Witch God Knight Legion in their lifetime.
Covered with a worn-out black linen robe, the parts of the body that were exposed were wrapped in bandages, but droplets of oil-like substance could still be seen seeping through the bandages.
There was a pool of oil forming underneath them. Dark bubbles would occasionally form in the oil and even some hair-like substances would occasionally wriggle out.
Its head looked as if it had been soaking in an oil pan for a long time, skin smooth and shiny, and the curly black hair was also full of greasy spots.
One hand held an oil lamp,
while the other held a kind of ever-burning torch,
like a set of matching magical artifacts.
The Death Qi emanating from it also had a kind of oil-braised smell.
This Chaos Dead could wield a very rare kind of oil magic, which, upon ignition by the torch, produced a black death flame. Compared to flame magic of the same level, its killing power was several times stronger.
In the Chaos District, he was referred to as “Oil Master”.
His body was wrapped in bandages, firstly to absorb oil, and secondly to maintain its integrity… such an oily body would likely disintegrate like a wax figure with just a light touch.
From the images of the four “Village Chiefs”, “Sister of Pain”, “Steam Giant Beast”, and “Oil Master”, one could probably imagine the strange scene inside the Black Lotus Stone Village.
Staring at these grotesque fallen knights, Han Dong actually felt a familiar feeling.
Even if the “disguise” effect provided by the Faceless Skull was removed here, he could still live here as usual.
On the smooth circular head, a smiling face was drawn with a watercolor pen. One hand was withered and shrunk, the other was swollen and distorted, covered in eyes dragging along the ground. There were black spiral circles drawn on its body.
Its appearance was more or less on par with these dead.
However, upon further thought,
there were some similarities between Captain Alex and Han Dong in a certain degree, both were ‘pet keepers’.
Han Dong only quietly preserved three minions in his head, and Miss Chen Li was sent to the Fate Space for training.
As for Captain Alex,
by virtue of his position as Captain and his control over Tar Prison, he was nurturing dead minions in the deepest level of the prison.
Moreover, they were all picked one by one from the surface of the prison, elite knights whose willpower could withstand complete degeneration.
The gap between people was truly enormous.
Staring at the situation in the Black Lotus Stone Village,
Han Dong envisioned a moment in the future during the Big Expedition, faced head-on with the Demon army in the core territory of the Old King.
When Captain Alex would storm in alone into the enemy lines, a Black Lotus would emerge in his palm, instantly summoning hundreds of Chaos Dead. The scene was inspiring.
However, as Han Dong observed these dead who once belonged to various knight regiments, he suddenly thought of a problem and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
“Wait… if I die in the ‘Chaos Pool’,
Won’t I become one of them, a Chaos Dead? Since I myself am dead, I’m automatically out of the Secret Language Knight Order.
And will join Terminal Knight Regiment through death.
Could the intention behind sending me to the ‘Chaos District’ be not for training but for this?
Ugh…”
Han Dong chuckled awkwardly and patted his left arm. Luckily, he held up fine.
And so,
As Knight Lisa explained the situation to the village chief,
upon hearing that Han Dong was Captain Alex’s guest, the village chief immediately showed an unusual enthusiasm and arranged separate accommodation for Han Dong.
For the next few days in the Chaos District, Blasphemer Lisa, wielder of the Heavy Sword, would continue to serve as Han Dong’s maid, attending to him and helping him to familiarize himself with the environment.
What do you think?
