My Cell Prison-Chapter 753 - : Unexpected Intruder

Chapter 753: Chapter 753: Unexpected Intruder

Composition of the “Blue Illusion” squad.

Eugene Leonard (Witch God Knight Legion, Illusionist, Captain)

Conan Turner (Hell Knight Corps, Hammer Master, Deputy Captain)

Ivy Goldleaf (Holy Knights Group, Physician)

Ulysses Edward (Plague Knights, Disseminator)

The overall strength of the squad is quite good.

In the early stage of the investigation mission, they had killed the terrifying [Corpse Keeper] three times in different situations in the Nameless Village through a direct frontal assault.

But theyuldn’t crack the secret of the Corpse Keeper’s resurrection.

Moreover, Eugene’s illusion, the team’s most powerful weapon, was useless against the Corpse Keeper who had a specialnstitution.

It was only when Ivy was injured and the squad had more than half of their physical strength expended that they chose to flee.

They ran forty kilometers to Stuart Manor, where the Old King incident had erupted.

Although the Plague Knights had dealt with it afterwards, the manor was still included in the category of no-go zones… generally, the passing Knight Squads had to bypass it.

Captain Eugene stared at the crowmen densely arranged on the branches, his face full of doubt.

“Did these homeless crowmen choose to occupy the abandoned manor as their new home because the Old King disrupted the logical balance of Gain Forest?

Strange… Crow folk are naturally vigilant and should not choose to establish their homes in the territory of the Old King.

Why are they gathering there? And why are there so many?”

“Captain, these crowmen seem a bit…strange.”

As a disseminator, Ulysses can both infect and erode targets with plague and also take on the role of a sensor.

“Are they hostile to us?”

“No, they are still in a neutral status… but they seem to have undergone ‘modification’.”

With Ulysses’ reminder, the other members of the squad also noticed the anomalies of several of the crowmen.

1. Telepic metal prosthetic eyes,mprehensively improving visual ability.

2. Soft metal prosthetic limbs powered by a steam system.

3. Concealed metal wing frame design whichmplies with aerodynamics, enhancing flying ability. In emergencies, they can use their wings to wrap their whole body, greatly improving their own defense power.

In addition to the metal modifications, there are some crowmen who exhibit ‘mutations’, their physique surpassing the maximum size of crowmen rrded in the monster manualllected by the Holy City.

Even though these crowmen seem weird.

But the only way for the “Blue Illusion” squad to survive and escape lies within Stuart Manor… they can’t maintain their fastest moving speed the whole way, as the Holy City is still more than sixty kilometers from here.

Besides, even if theyuld get back there, the seriously injured Ivy wouldn’t be able to hold on for that long.

Their only hope now is that the crowmen can buy them some time, allowing them to fully escape the tracking range of the Corpse Keeper.

Then they’ll immediately find a safe area to provide emergency treatment.

…

The crows did not attempt to prevent the knight squad from approaching.

It seems neutral… but in reality, the crowmen were ordered to ‘let them pass’.

As the knight squad passed through the woods where the crowmen perched.

The scene presented before them was quite different from the ruined manor in their minds.

The rnstructed manor has integrated the latest technology of the Holy City, with semi-automated steam devices embedded in the stone buildings, and even steam-powered scarecrows in charge of watching the fields.

“This… these crowmen rebuilt the manor? No… how did they introduce this steam technology?”

Just then.

A crow landed on Captain Eugene’s shoulder.

Caw~ Hurry to the castle~ Hurry to the castle! Lead it here~ Lead it here!

Eugene turned to look behind him.

The Crows that once guarded the forest had all dispersed, allowing the [Corpse Keeper] to chase into the manor area.

At the same time, the Crows that had been working in the manor had disappeared… In the blink of an eye, the entire manor had turned into an empty city.

If Eugene and the others wanted to survive, theyuld only follow the directions to the Castle District.

Eugene made his decision: “It’s very likely that the Steam Knights have taken over this area… We have to take a gamble, with our remaining stamina we can’t escape back to the Holy City, Ivy certainly can’t stand it either.

Perhaps a person in charge from the Steam Knights is waiting for us in the castle. With the assistance of the mechanisms in the castle, we should be able to handle the [Corpse Keeper].”

The new plan made the group slightly hesitant.

Whoosh!

An oddity flew out from between the trees.

Striking the arm of Ulysses, the Plague Walker.

It was a miniature version of a ‘Buried Tombstone’, nailed precisely into his arm.

In a short amount of time, strands of dark grey spread out from the insertion point to all directions, giving off the same kind of aura as the [Corpse Keeper] from his entire arm, which was no longer under Ulyssesntrol.

Moreover, the tombstone has a particular feature.

Once the host discards the part where the tombstone is inserted, the soul of that part will be buried and unable to regenerate.

Ulyssesuld only obstruct the plague spreading in his arm and endure the pain.

“Go!”

The squad exhausted their remaining energy and ran towards the castle on the hill.

A crow had been following above their heads the entire time.

Part of it was to observe them, but mostly it was keeping an eye on the [Corpse Keeper] chasing from behind.

…

Castle – Lord’s Hall

“Knowing that this is a ‘Land Deed area’, he still dares to charge in, truly an odd Demon… He’s so eager to kill this group; it must be that this Knight Group has revealed some secret, a secret that cannot be returned to the Holy City.

[Corpse Keeper]. I remember almost taking this mission with Captain Lucius in the Knight Headquarters one month ago.

What aincidence.”

By a turn of fate, Han Dong had just arrived at Stuart Manor this morning.

He was just in the underground laboratory with Doctor Swollen and Professor West discussing the research of the deep sea.

Who would have known, two auras simultaneously rose from the land.

Especially the aura emitted from the [Corpse Keeper] caused Han Dong to break out inld sweat, the pressure not in the least less than what he once felt from the Scarlet Count.

“Count, this thing and you from back in the day, who’s stronger?”

“Do you need to ask? This kind of individualistic, dares to recklessly charge into the Land Deed area, can hempete with me? Immanded eight Barons and thousands of Blood Heirloom soldiers, can he handle that?”

“No… I meant in a one-on-one fight, who’s stronger among you two.”

Han Dong’s question directly silenced the Count.

After a long time, he slowly admitted the truth.

“Tsk… This thing is in its mature stage, ofurse, he’s stronger.

And, this kind of Corpse-type Demon tends to have a higher ‘personalmbat power’ but if we were to fight one-on-one, heuldn’t kill me either.

But, arding to the images captured by your crow, his abilities are kind of strange.”

“The tombstones nailed onto these knights?”

“Hmm… An ability I’ve never seen before. One of these knights has already been deeply polluted by the tombstone anduld turn into a dangerous Fallen one at any time.”

“Just play with him.”
