Chapter 379 – Breaking the Precepts (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Last night, when Saul was explaining to Agu about today’s battle arrangements, he deliberately taught him a phrase.

“Surprised? Surprised?”

And he was told to wait until the sneak attacker, realizing that he and his master had swapped identity positions, to say this phrase again.

At the time, Agu didn’t quite understand the intent of the words.

The words did not serve as a positive guide to the battle.

But when he grinned and said this sentence today, looking at Kong Sha’s face that was so angry that it was twitching, he suddenly felt that this sentence …… was so damn unpunished!
“Lord Saul must be punishing me for my hesitation yesterday!”

Agu had just thought of this when he saw a black tentacle a meter thick in diameter quickly swooping down towards his head!
“Splat!”

When the black tentacle lifted up again, Agu’s head had already turned into a lump of mush.

“Sol!” Kong Sha’s chest continued to rise and fall, “Saul! Must get him back!”

Saul was the most important part of her plan and her last struggle.

She could care less if Mark was gone, but she would never let Saul go!

Just then, Kong Sha suddenly noticed that the commotion of white figures had shifted from her side to the front near the palace.

“He’s there!” Kong Sha immediately reacted.

The commotion in the white silhouette just now was not that Saul’s black scarf guards had seen Saul being restrained and were rushing over to save him. Rather, they saw that the scapegoat had attracted Kong Sha’s attention, and wanted to increase their speed, hide among the white silhouettes, and continue to approach the palace!

Kong Sha laughed and said, “Stop him!”

A figure suddenly rushed out of the white silhouette three meters away from the palace.

There was thick white frost condensed on his hair strands and on his clothes, and it was none other than Saul who had switched places with Agu!
At this moment, he could hear the sound of breaking air coming from behind him and no longer cared about hiding his magic power fluctuation, he directly flew up.

As if repeating the scene just now, the black tentacles chased after Saul’s shadow. When it was about to catch up with him, another person suddenly blocked in front of the black tentacles.

It was Morton.

He pressed his hands down and pressed on the ground, and a huge black wall rose from the soft ground.

“Dang! Dang! Knock, knock, knock!”

The black tentacles stabbed into Morton’s improvised fence as hard as sharp arrows.

But this improvised blockage only lasted until the sixth tentacle, and then it was crushed and collapsed.

“Alas, this body still doesn’t have enough magic power.” Morton sighed, and was then impaled by the tentacles that broke through the wall.

However, as Morton was trying his best to stop him, Saul had already entered the castle’s area.

Because Cassillo had already opened the gate of the castle, Saul didn’t need to waste time on opening the door.

Of course, he still needs to face the furniture guarding the door.

“Get out of the way, I’m returning the Elf King’s head!!!”

The shelves on the opposite side of the room shuddered with apparent humanity, and looking at the pouncing Saul, they actually backed away to the side.

Saul had originally prepared to burst into the sorcery, but he didn’t expect the other party to give way so easily. Instead, it was he himself who couldn’t put on the brakes and nearly crashed into the wall of the rotunda.

When Saul managed to stop, he immediately hid in the dead center of the door and looked out.

He saw black tentacles slowly pulling out of Morton’s body, while Morton tilted his head back and looked at Saul with a deadpan expression.

In the next second, Morton’s body fell heavily to the ground, and Kong Sha’s long legs stepped over Morton’s body and walked near the palace gate.

And those black tentacles stopped outside the palace with some concern, twisting and writhing unceasingly.

Saul patted the dirt rubbed on his body and slowly walked near the gate.

“I thought you would strike halfway, I just didn’t guess that your helpers would be so powerful.” Sol had an admiring expression on his face.

Kong Sha’s complexion was icy cold as she walked near the gate and lowered her head to absently pick up a transparent object from the ground.

“Cryptocrystalline matter?” Saul looked sideways, the place outside the gate where Cassillo’s body had originally fallen was now empty. “Now, I think you’ve guessed it.” Kongsha stuck out her tongue and rolled the transparent object into her mouth, “That’s right, Cryptocrystalline Plasm is what the apprentice’s corpse turns into, but there are many other auxiliary conditions needed in it as well. For example, cognitive collapse.”

“I found this when I first entered the valley, and it helps me advance to third level apprentice. Saul. How happy I was when I realized that it was finally possible for me to advance!”

Saul thought for a moment, “So, the two people who entered the valley with you at that time were both killed by you?”

“The first one wasn’t, he went mad on his own. The second one unfortunately, my experiment didn’t work, he just turned into the most common corpse.”

“So you gathered more people in the second time just to serve as experiments for you?”

“Of course not all.” Konza smiled, lifting her hand to gently caress her beautiful face, the tip of her ring finger pressed right against the eyeball of her left eye, a gentle downward pressure coming from the eyeball with a very resilient feedback.

It was finally no longer cold glass.

She smiled even more, “And I have an even more precious treasure because of it.”

“And what did you deliberately drag me into this for?”

Kongsha cocked her head, “Want to know? Come out if you want to know.”

Saul was silent.

Come out? And then get skewered by the Ancient Soul Eater Devil Swamp?

Just now, if it wasn’t for Saul’s timely use of the double-sided coin he had gotten from Mochimochi and switching places with Agu, the person who was now being zapped into a beehive of coal would have been him.

What’s more, now that the Ancient Soul Devouring Demon Swamp didn’t seem to be able to enter the palace, Saul naturally wouldn’t give up this geographical location advantage.

Not only did he not go out, he even moved a few meters inside, almost entering the next hall. After all, although those tentacles had never entered the palace, it wasn’t necessarily true that they couldn’t enter the palace.

“Forget it if you don’t want to talk about it, one of my strengths as a person is my controllable curiosity.”

There were still furniture in the palace that stared intently at Kong Sha, but they seemed to be equally fearful of the Ancient Soul Devouring Demon Swamp outside, and didn’t go to attack Kong Sha who was already standing in front of the door.

Kong Sha was not surprised to hear Saul’s words, if the prey were willing to obediently enter the trap, then there would be no need for hunters in this world.

She waved her hand at Saul inside the palace, her voice cold, “Catch him.”

The huge black tentacle hesitated a little for a moment, the tip of the tentacle testing the waters but not immediately carrying out Kong Sha’s order.

Saul’s heart was also startled, and he immediately looked at those furniture surrounding the entrance, “Hey, your old home is about to be copied, why don’t you quickly block it?”

At the same time, he was thinking in his heart, “The palace wants to retrieve the lost treasure, which is the Elf King’s head, but I’ve already brought people here, and they still don’t seem to have any reaction. Do I have to bring the Elf King’s head to the Pure White Throne in order to do so?”

If the enemy was only one Kong Sha, Saul still had some certainty, but now that terrifying, Ancient Soul Devouring Demon Swamp whose main body’s tentacles were like small mountains were all following Kong Sha’s command, Saul himself really didn’t have any certainty that he could defeat Kong Sha and retrieve the Elf King’s head.

“What’s wrong? What are you guys afraid of? The Elf Clan has already disappeared, and a bit of residual will can make you stop in your tracks in fear?” Kong Sha suddenly raised her voice.

She raised her head to stare deathly at Sol, her pair of beautiful eyes suddenly losing their pupils, “This is the king’s order!”

The Stealer issued an ultimatum to the demonic creature as its head, and the Ancient Soul Devouring Demon Swamp violently flung its tentacles into the sky, then, like sharp arrows, stabbed at the interior of the palace.

The moment the black tentacles penetrated deep into the interior of the palace’s gate, invisible tremors spread out with the palace as the center of the circle.

It spread to the entire Elven Valley.

The long-lasting equilibrium was suddenly broken, and the white silhouettes that were originally standing at the edge of the forest with their hands hanging down suddenly took a step forward one after another.

Then, as if awakening to consciousness, they continued forward, their pale toes stepping onto the scorched black ground.

Frost condensed under their feet.

Snowflakes began to drift in the air.

A huge black tentacle kept growing out of the ground, and then viciously flung itself at the white humanoid that stepped into its territory.

And the latter was not to be outdone as they launched themselves towards the black tentacles.

A tentacle twitched and broke, and a human figure dissipated into white mist.

The Four Seasons Forest …… is in complete chaos!
First shift!
