Physical strength.
Supported by the beneficial fungi inside his body, Han Dongâs physical fitness barely reached the standard of a normal person.
The Griffin Short Boots could increase his speed, but they could not enhance his physical endurance.
This series of travels and escapes, coupled with the back-to-back fight with Chen Li in the gymnasium, and the crawl through the entrance tunnel thatâs nearly a kilometer long.
By the time Han Dong reached the [Middle Layer] again, he was leaning against the wall, gasping for breath.
âCough coughâŠ.â
He was so exhausted that, combined with his fundamentally weak body constitution, Han Dong actually coughed up blood laden with fungi.
Chen Li immediately appeared and supported Han Dong.
âChen Li, quickly help me to the [exit] location⊠thereâs only one chance,â he said.
âOkay.â
He continued to move forward, taking a swig from a Manna Potion bottle during the journey, which made his body feel a bit better.
Han Dong still chose to take the shortcut.
The giant tunnel worm that Togu killed was still down there.
Since the worm had been dead for a while, its originally white body was turning yellow, rotting, and showing signs of wilting.
However, this was the closest passage to the [exit].
The two squeezed into the body of the worm, laden with the pungent smell of decay. They moved forward, sticking to the decomposing walls. Even Chen Li found it difficult to stand the odor, but Han Dong seemed unaffected.
Hee heeâŠ
A laughter coming from the [entry] direction prompted Han Dong and Chen Li to quicken their pace.
Moreover, for every step Han Dong took inside the wormâs body, he would spread his plague power on to the decaying walls, thus accelerating the wormâs decomposition!
The decay of the worm led to the collapse of the connecting passageway.
It thus closed this âshortcutâ.
If the clown wanted to catch up, it would have to take a detour.
Thus, Han Dong, with the Plague Energy released all the way, reaching the exit location.
âChen Li, I will handle the journey from here⊠you should go back to the Portable Prison to prepare. Thereâs an important task that only you can accomplish,â he said.
âAre you going to fight the clown here?â
âYes⊠This book, I entrust to you. Turn to page 8!
Read aloud the text and draw the formation at the designated place⊠remember, you must do this only after we have led the clown away. You absolutely canât be discovered.â
The book Han Dong handed to Chen Li was the âEye Bookâ.
âDonât you need this book?â
Chen Li knew the importance of this book and thought that Han Dong would use it against the Clown.
Han Dong pointed to his forehead and said,
âEverything I need is in this eye.
Even if I hold the book, it only enhances the eyeâs Pollution Ability⊠If this book gets stolen by the clown, we would be in trouble. Do as I say and complete the formation on page eight as fast as you can.â
âOkay.â
Chen Li took the book and disappeared to prepare.
The last stretch of the road.
Going straight through the crossroads ahead would lead to the [exit] locationâŠhowever, there is one problem.
A Clown House, a safety house for the clown, was set up near the exit.
As he walked pass the crossroads,
Squeak (Door opening sound!)
Off to the side of the tunnel,
The door of the Clown House that was originally set here opened.
First, a âmonster handâ stretched out, covered in black hair and sharp clawsâŠ. Following that, the clown with a terrifying muscular body squeezed out from the small door.
âTa-da! I finally found youâŠI knew you would come here.â
Han Dong wore a bitter smile, the situation he feared the most had occurred.
The safehouse the clown had established in the sewer network could âinterconnectâ, something that the clown hadnât previously disclosed to Han Dong⊠it was to avoid this very situation.
Screech! (Sharp noise)>
Fingernails scratching against the wall, the clown was slowly closing in.
âBy the way, where have you hidden Togu? Your abilities are truly peculiar⊠you seem different from the other participants. Not only can you drive vehicles, but you also are skilled in various strange powers. Where are you from?â
As soon as the clown asked this question, his speed increased dramatically.
Terrifying strength burst out from his muscles; every step left a footmark a centimeter deep in the ceramic floor tiles.
âOpen Eyesâ
Han Dong quickly opened his little demon eye.
Though, just at the moment of opening his eyes, the clown preemptively started making âdefensiveâ movements.
He thrust his hand directly to gouge out his own eyeballs.
The âlittle demon eyeâ had a visual pollution ability, it was impossible for the eyelid to block this effect, thus closing oneâs eyes was useless.
However, the clown went an extra step to ruin both his eyes, rendering him completely unaffected by visual stimulation.
Smack!
Swiftly seizing Han Dongâs head, he hoisted him up from the floor.
The other hand, as tough as reinforced steel, tied up Han Dongâs hands behind his back using a rubber rope knot.
To stop Han Dong from deploying his dangerous tentacle ability.
âI need to take you back for some research. Your peculiar abilities might make a significant contribution to my âGreat Planâ.â
The clown pulled out a mini house from around his waist.
Originally, it was intended to contain Togu, now the target has changed.
The airborne Han Dong mocked: âThe âGreat Planâ⊠Isnât it just about invading âOld Derry Townâ? Your ambitions are trivial.â
Undeterred by Han Dongâs mockery, the clown continued:
âWhen I get control of âOld Derry Townâ, I will naturally possess the power to tear apart the veil of this game⊠then, I will personally descend into your world, turning it into my playground⊠Hahaha!â
âOh well, hope you donât descend outside the Main City, otherwise you wouldnât even know how you died.â
âMain City⊠Huh! Those little guys who were killed in my previous squads mentioned this as well. Very well! I will pry every detail about the external world from your mouth. Haha, letâs go!â
Right as the clown was manically laughing and getting the little house closer to Han Dong.
A familiar wave of hellish heat swept through the sewer tunnel!
Clank! A metal chain was hurled from the other side of the crossroad.
Accurately wrapped around the clownâs neck.
Sizzle!
The lava-like heat immediately started dissolving the clownâs neck skin, sending up a puff of white smoke.
Adding the enormous strength of the monk, the clown was dragged towards the source of the chain.
This made Han Dong escape the restraint, his body falling hard on the ground.
âToguâŠYou! How did you recover?â
The clown turned to look at the other end of the iron chain, the person controlling the chain was the Purgatory Monk-Togu.
(The Portable Prison can transport the contained object to any location within 10 meters of the main body, and if the contained object is within 10 meters of itself, it can be included in the prison.)
The clown couldnât understand how Toguâs arms were healed in such a short time.
Moreover, looking at his state, it seemed like even his physical strength was restored, apparently just to assist Han Dong.
âHowever, you seem a bit weaker?â
Under the grotesque posture of the clown, the strength was not inferior to Toguâs previous peak state. He firmly embedded his feet in the ground.
Ignoring the burning sensation, he grabbed the iron chain with his fluffy claw.
He stopped the drag of the iron chain and even pulled Togu towards him.
Whoosh!
Simultaneously, the clothes on the clownâs back were torn open.
Four terrifying grasshopper-like legs appeared, preventing any ambush from Han Dong.
Just like this, the ultimate final battle in the real sense of âClownâs Resurrection (Fog Chapter)â officially began.
