Chapter 1854: Chapter 1851: The Terrifying Staff Member
Through spatial affinity, Pope can clearly confirm that the pursuer is just one person,
Moreover, not much heat is being captured from the opponent… which means the pursuer is not the matchstick user, but another mysterious employee who hasn’t acted yet.
Current intelligence suggests that the Matchstick Man might have reached the Middle Rank level,
There is almost no information about this bank clerk, and we don’t know what tier he is on.
However, based on Han Dong’s constant tracking and observation,
In terms of seniority, this bank clerk should rank after the Matchstick Man. Before undertaking any major actions, he would consult the Matchstick Man’s opinion.
Considering this, the clerk might be less powerful.
Han Dong takes advantage of the spare time before battle to add:
“Just now, I had a brief contact with this person in the underground area.
His power is generally related to money, but I haven’t deduced the specific abilities or how he uses them; after all, the Out of control are a group that defies logic and can’t be measured by common rules.
Moreover, he has an unruly power that allows him to penetrate the hardest temple walls with just his own strength.”
Upon hearing this, Pope has already formulated a basic combat plan.
“Money, unruly power, and not insignificant spatial skills… our understanding of him is probably less than 10%.
Considering this,
it’s best to have one person act as the “observer” while also assisting in combat, not participating in the primary battle.
The other two should give their all against the opponent, even if they are at a disadvantage, to stall as much as possible and allow the “observer” to collect enough intelligence and find weaknesses.
Who will be the “observer”?”
When Pope raised the question,
Han Dong and Eugenes simultaneously directed their gaze at him… no one was more suited for this role than Pope.
With Pope’s knowledge, he will surely be able to quickly analyze the target,
More importantly,
only he can fully utilize “spatial assistance” in the Shattered Dimension to enhance team mobility and significantly improve safety.
“Alright.
The two of you, be careful… if this person also possesses Middle Rank level, I will consider a forced retreat.
Even if the plant planet is exposed or damaged, it’s better than dying here.
Here he comes! Nicholas, to your left!”
As Pope shouted.
Han Dong had already made a dodging move in advance, quickly stepping back three steps.
Boom!
The bunker, which had blocked multiple flame impacts, was smashed open with a single punch!
The bank clerk patted the dust off himself, speaking with a face full of surprise:
“Wow! You dodged again… does your eye have ‘future sight’? Did you see my attack trajectory ahead of time? That’s really impressive.”
During the bank clerk’s compliment.
Han Dong and Eugenes had already adopted their combat stances,
while Pope retreated one step, disappearing directly into the Void.
As the battle was about to erupt,
the bank clerk blocked with his hand in front of him, staring skeptically at Han Dong’s bald head.
“Wait, don’t rush to hit me!
Haven’t we met somewhere before? But it shouldn’t be; this is my first ‘outdoor experience’… yet you give me a sense of familiarity.
Have you been to the B.B.C?”
Han Dong did not intend to answer this question.
At this moment, the bank clerk suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.
“I remembered! Aren’t you the… young demon who recently scored full marks in the Deep House Q&A segment and embarrassed Mr.Teacher!
During your escape, you even released a lot of pollution, which took us a lot of time to clean up afterward.
That must be you.
Recently, the only person who visited the B.B.C. and possesses the traits of a demon is you… At that time, I happened to be in the containment room managed by Deep House, and your performance in the Q&A segment left a deep impression on me.”
As the bank clerk said so,
Han Dong also remembered the scene at that time and was surprised to be recognized.
“I said I felt familiar seeing you at first glance, and unexpectedly, it’s such a coincidence!
Mr. Teacher, though a member of the committee, is considered a “big shot” in my eyes, but I don’t quite like this person… mainly because he once attempted to preach to me. Luckily, I didn’t become his student.
When I heard about Mr. Teacher’s mishap, I was quite happy.
I’ve always been curious about what kind of person could deceive Mr. Teacher.
Unexpectedly, I’d encounter you here so soon… Mr.Matchstick should still need some time below. Why don’t you tell me in detail how you managed to fool Mr.Teacher?
After telling your story, you can hand over the ‘item’ you took from this frozen soil.
I’ll pretend to let you escape accidentally, since you possess a spatial skill I’ve never seen before, Mr.Matchstick would likely believe it.
Don’t try to deceive me with other items, as a bank worker, I have the ability to distinguish between real and fake.”
Han Dong responded with a smile:
“Telling the story is doable.
As for the ‘thing’ I just took from the temple, it’s of no use to you…”
The bank clerk could only show a somewhat helpless expression, shrugging his shoulders.
He then took off his tie, rolled up his sleeves, tapped the ground with the tip of his shoe to adjust foot comfort, preventing his shoes from flying off during the fight.
Taking a stance like a white-collar preparing for a fight.
“You really won’t hand it over? Then there’s no way… considering you once embarrassed Mr.Teacher, I will give my all to fight you.”
During the dialogue.
Han Dong kept observing the bank clerk with the Demon Eye.
Although he could see through the surface layer of skin, the internal scene made Han Dong extremely bewildered.
The structure of his body was identical to a normal human, including organ types and distribution.
Yet within the normal anatomical structure, distinct golden outlines were traced… every bone, every piece of organ, even every blood vessel had conspicuous golden borders.
What these golden borders symbolize and their purpose are unknown.
His body also showed no signs of energy transmission, making it impossible to identify type or level, with no domain release either.
While the bank clerk adjusted his appearance,
Eugenes, who had been watching for a while from behind, made a move.
Because the bank clerk had always focused on Han Dong, Eugenes had been waiting for an opportunity.
His soles sprouted many small green tentacles, propelling him forward with terrifying speed.
From a blind spot, he charged toward the bank clerk’s back…
Buzz! During the charge, he was affected by the Void, granting Eugenes a longer acceleration distance and allowing direct teleportation behind the clerk.
Green tentacles growing from the back handed the spear hidden within the stone coffin to Eugenes.
“Success!”
“Spear of Achilles (Legend)”
Teeth grew from his palm, clamping onto the spear shaft to increase stability and transfer power to the spear.
The black meat robe worn clung to the body at this moment, serving as an outer muscle, further enhancing strength.
The Eye of Shoggoth locked onto the target, confirming the opponent couldn’t make any dodging movements.
A thrust that pierced through.
Ding!
In the frozen soil, a visible wave of air spread out.
Buzz~
The spear body continually vibrated,
Eugenes’ arm holding the spear trembled and went numb, with teeth clamping the shaft all broken.
The spear tip remained on the surface of the back of the head, unable to penetrate even a bit… not even breaking a single hair.
“How is this possible!!”
Not only did Eugenes widen his eyes,
but even Pope in the Void showed a similar expression.
Despite the shock… Eugenes decisively withdrew upon his attack’s failure, attempting to create distance.
But a plain fist had already landed on his abdomen.
Boom! An air ripple stronger than before spread out.
A green figure flew backward like a laser, nearly traversing the frozen continent, consecutively crashing through several thick glaciers… barely stopping at the continent’s edge.
The bank clerk retracted his fist, looking at the green blood on its surface, surprised:
“Huh? A single punch didn’t completely shatter him; you mythic bodies are truly remarkable!”
