My Cell Prison-Chapter 754 - : 754

Chapter 754: 754

To reach the ancient castle, they had to pass through the central cemetery of the manor.

As the team sprinted through the enormous cemetery, they distinctly felt something deep beneath their feet watching them.

It seemed as if a monstrous brain was hiding deep within the graveyard.

Unlike the demons the team had faced before, this brain’s mentalverage spanned the entire manor, monitoring all movements within… it belonged to a particularly difficult to deal with psychic species.

Moreover, it seemed that there wereuntless terrifying lives hidden deep underground. Just getting close to the tombstones here, oneuld hear the grinding teeth sounds of the ghouls.

“There are demons below this too?! What’s going on… isn’t this area managed by the Steam Knights?”

The four of them were drenched inld sweat.

However, an even more terrifying [Corpse Keeper] was not too far behind them.

Given the situation, the ancient castle was their only option.

At this point, team leader Eugene made a decision and said solemnly:

“If this is still a trap set by the Corpse Keeper,

When the timemes, I will use all my energy, create an illusionary space centered on me, which should hold for at least three hours.

You help Ivy restrain the source of her fallen state and then find a way to quickly return to the city.

If you manage to notify the Holy City in time, perhaps I can be saved…”

“Yes…”

Knights who had grown step-by-step to this stage, except for exceptions like Han Dong, had all experienced life and death separations.

Every knight, at the beginning of their knight education, the first page of the book wrote the most important point of the knight’s spirit, which was the most fundamental point.

‘Sacrifice is thernerstone of the Holy City.’

…

The ancient, sinister castle was right before their eyes.

Boom!

[Conan Turner], the Hell Knight running at the very front, used his brute force and slammed open the unlocked castle gate.

Cold, black flames were burning on the pillars.

Deep in the dark and spacious hall.

A mysterious figure, wearing a crow mask and shrouded in a black robe, sat in the old lord’s chair, his gaze filled with death, staring at these outsiders who had brought danger.

A deep, laughter-filled voice echoed in Han Dong’s mind.

“Take your friends and leave through the [side door]. There will be Crowmen to guide you to the rest room.

You will also be provided with a new ‘anti-stress drug’… If your friend does notntrol the pressure in his body, he might fallmpletely at any moment.

I won’t be offering any help when that happens.”

Having said that…

The iron door at the side of the hall opened.

“Go!”

Without much hesitation, the group left from the side.

A blue-feathered Crowman Elder was waiting for them, showing no hostility. With a friendly appearance, he led the group to a ‘quiet room’.

Actually, it was the auxiliary laboratory set up by the Swollen Doctor inside the castle.

Yes.

These people brought trouble to the manor, and Han Dong would not just offer them help for no reason.

He hadn’t been able to sell the ‘anti-stress drug’ in the Holy City. Thisuld be an opportunity to test the drug on this deeply polluted knight, whould fall at any moment. And Han Dong planned to rrd the entire process, before and after taking the drug.

Ofurse, a more pressingncern was dealing with this Corpse Keeper, who was even stronger than the Count.

“Caw… Lord! Do you need our help?” The Crowman Elders transmitted in the dark.

“The opponent is a Mature Body… and it’s at the later stage, with extremely strong individualmbat power, of therpse type.

It’s even harder to deal with than the Scarlet Count.”

“You should focus on your self-cultivation, and strive to achieve the [Mature Body] before the Big Expedition. There’s no need for casualties here.”

“My Lord, what if you’re in danger?”

“Don’t worry… Even if I can’t handle it, the doctor will provide assistance in secret.

With the aid of the ‘old king’s remains’ embedded in his brain, the doctor’s brain system has fully matured and has bme the first Mature Body-Demon in the manor.

You all need to work harder.”

“Caw…”

The Crowman Elders are also under a lot of pressure. After all, the realization of a mature body requires an ‘opportunity’. It’s challenging to break through by self-cultivation within the manor… They need to leave the Gaine Forest, looking for the ‘opportunity’, either the Old King’s blessing, powerful demon remains, or the chaotic treasure buried deep in the cave.

If none of the crows can achieve a mature body, the balance of the manor will tilt, and from then the Swollen Doctor will be given sole power.

While Han Dong was having casualnversations with the Crowman Elders.

Creak…

The main hall dorr of the old castle was slowly pushed open.

The infamous Corpse Holder had arrived.

Standing about two meters tall.

Aged, shriveled dark skin pitted with strange ‘cross nails’, which suppressed the squirming creatures within, ensuring his human form.

A blood-stained white cloth wraps around his eyes, abandoning vision and adopting a unique way to catch his prey, and perhaps some other function.

Carrying a hugeffin on his back, equivalent to his height. It’s purpose is still unknown.

Both his wrists and ankles wear shackles, as though this Corpse Holder was once a prisoner, who fell into this special kind of demon for some reason.

“Is this… a demon that hasmpletely fallen from humanity?”

Han Dong was suspicious when observing through the crows’ vision.

As mentioned in previous chapters, lower-order life-forms outside the city can be broadly classified into three types: ‘Evil’, ‘Monsters’, ‘Heretics’… The former two often develop into demons.

For instance, the Crowman Elders belong to the advanced form of monsters, as does the Stone Demon absorbed by Cass.

The Scarlet Count belongs to an advanced form of Evil (The origin of the Count is a special kind of Fresh Blood, which developed selfnsciousness one day and became an independent Evil Blood. It mostly takes the form of a [Dog].)

However, the transition from ‘Heretic’ to ‘Demon’ is relatively lessmmon.

The reason for this is not that the human lower-order life forms can’t bme demons, but more about ‘management’ problems.

Due to the ‘high intellect’ exhibited by humans, demons on the outskirts of the city like to cultivate humans into their heretics, who can help them amplishmplex tasks that other evil beings or monstersuldn’t do. They also provide unique faith and sacrificial powers.

Once a Heretic grows into a Demon, arding to the ‘regulations’ outside the city, they gain freedom and can choose tontinue following their original master or start anew.

Therefore, most demons are unwilling to lose their free labor and effectively suppress their heretics, denying them the opportunity to bme demons.

The Swollen Doctor is a prime example.

Once employed by the Great Lord Stuart, he was just the leader among heretics.

Now, following Han Dong and no longer restrained, the doctor even got the old king’s remains in ruins, accumulated over time and achieved the level of Mature Deviant Demon in a few years.

The doctor wouldn’t ask for freedom, following Han Dong has been his greatest dream.

On the level or technological front, Han Dong is stronger… Staying in the basement laboratory of the manor, the doctor has access to any material for his research. He is deeply indulged in his study, sees Han Dong as the benefactor of his life, willing to offer everything he has.

The current [Corpse Keeper] is also the same, originated from a special human.

After breaking into the main hall of the old castle.

He ignored Han Dong who was sitting in the Lord’s seat, following the scent of his target, heading towards the side door of the main hall.

Whoosh…

With a wave of Han Dong’s hand.

From the eerie hall jumped out an agitated blood-hound. Only the head structure remains, opening a maw of two meters in diameter, it bit at the target.

Ding!

However,

The tentacled dog teeth, which had always been able to easily tear any hard object, clashed with difficulty.

The cross nails fixed on the surface of the Corpse Holder’s body were turning slightly, generating a kind of invisible barrier.
