Chapter 162: Chapter 162
Ludwig Reagan gazed at the black skeletons scattered on the ground. Although these bones were temporarily constructed by the Grape, they possessed the texture of being over a hundred years old,
With his ultra-high “Perception” and as a Prototype Master by profession, he could envision an extremely evil black wizard in his mind,
When he reached out to touch the black skeletons that were disintegrating, the image in his mind became more concrete, and even eyeballs emitting black smoke seemed to want to crawl up Reagan’s arm, corroding his flesh.
Zzt! A surge of electromagnetic fluctuations caused the eyeballs on his arm to shrivel and fall off.
“William, your pet has great potential,”
“Grape is indeed an important product of the Seven-Day Graveyard; without it, I would have died in the cemetery long ago.
Let’s keep moving! We should be close to the real pathway by now.”
The squad maneuvered out of the stone cave and continued upward along the rugged mountain path.
The Stone Temple was also composed of these sand grains, a ‘special structure’ intrinsic to the Gray Domain.
Once confirmed, Yi Chen was the first to step into the temple, carrying a suitcase,
Jin almost stepped in simultaneously, his mask lowered,
Reagan, with electric arcs flashing between his pupils, was the last to walk in, hands in pockets, fully alert.
Almost at the same time,
Yi Chen’s gaze caught a flicker of dark light, Jin sensed an unimaginable physical fluctuation, and Reagan detected a more concrete powerful entity.
Yi Chen and Reagan rolled away to the left and right in a standard gentleman’s dodge,
Jin used the Red Lotus Explosion in his calf muscles to leap several meters high, just brushing the top of the temple.
A massive, heavy black halberd with battle scars on its surface swept across, its tremendous force causing the very space to tremble.
The black halberd lay across where they had just stood, so large and exaggerated it seemed impossible for humans to wield,
Its shaft extended into the depths of the temple, three meters up decorated with dragon scale ring seals, also giving off the impression of a heft not meant for human hands.
Jin, who had leapt up to dodge, landed on the black halberd,
Stepping on the sturdy shaft, the Red Lotus Mark on his calves bursting with extreme speed as he charged toward the wielder of the black halberd and drew his sword.
Jin, with his back bulging, flew rapidly out of the darkness.
Yi Chen, highly focused, extended his arms and fired a net of plants, using all his strength just to barely catch Jin.
Jin, with his ribs partly shattered and his abdomen severely hit, wore a crazed smile,
As he injected the flesh juice syringe into his neck, muttering while his internal organs healed:
“Really strong indeed… Beili instructor wasn’t wrong; those chosen as Watchers are all freakishly strong loners.”
Then, the sound of heavy metal boot hooves came from the dark,
A Watcher appeared before them, nearly three meters tall, wearing a human-faced cast iron helmet, his skin overgrown with ‘metal armor’, donned in black iron dragon pattern metal shoes.
Most exaggerated of all, he wielded a four-meter-long, massive black halberd single-handedly.
Rather than a gentleman, he resembled an ancient knight.
Such an image gave Yi Chen a deeper understanding of what it meant to breach human limits, a sense of oppression true to a Watcher, incomparable to the previous Disguisers.
The human face within the cast iron helmet conveyed a solemn aura as he looked at the three before him,
“Zion can still produce such high-quality young people; have you cleared the most troublesome Gathering Eye Disease, by the looks of it?”
“Yes~ But on the way to clearing the eyes, we also encountered some troubles. Gathering Eye Disease is connected to another illness; I wonder if you’re aware, Watcher?”
