Chapter 859: Chapter 858 The Fifth Entity

The transaction on the surface appeared to be a one-sided request from the Toad Ancestor, who wished to borrow Han Dong and his companions to help him find a prop in the World of Fate that could reduce his sense of lethargy.

This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.

Yet what was involved behind the scenes was more than one could imagine.

Being able to see the ‘things’ hidden behind was all thanks to Han Dong’s [King’s Touch] experience in Perugia City, after encountering the Grey Upper Rank being, Han Dong’s mental horizon had broadened significantly.

He was well aware of why the Toad Ancestor valued him, or rather, his team.

1. [Level Issue]

Just as there are different levels among Demons such as nascent, mature, and Ancestor Return.

The same applied to knights, the unlocking of different talent tiers signified different levels… and Fate Space would match scenarios and participants according to this [Level].

Han Dong’s group was not of a high level but managed to defeat a Mature Body in the backyard.

Low level, high power, the survival probability of Han Dong and his companions in the World of Fate was extremely high.

2. [Amusement]

The rewards promised by the Toad Ancestor seemed precious to Han Dong and perhaps a significant portion of other Demons, whether it was a Land Deed or the opportunity of Watching the Wall, both were hard to come by.

But in the eyes of the Toad Ancestor.

Such rewards were nothing more than a small plot of land in the ‘back garden’ and letting them take a look at its own shed useless skin, not a big deal.

Perhaps the Toad Ancestor indeed wanted this group of little ones to go to Fate Space to find an object that could alleviate the ‘Lethargy,’

but it was more about a sense of ‘Amusement.’

An envoy who was a human with an ‘abnormal head’ recognized by two ‘Upper Rank beings’ mingling with a newly protected Old King.

This combination.

Would be of interest to other Old Kings as well.

It was for this reason.

The ‘Amusement’ itself had already relieved some of the Toad Ancestor’s lethargy.

When setting the terms, there was no strict requirement for Han Dong and others to obtain an object to reduce ‘Lethargy’… he only hoped they would put on a good drama.

…

The office discussion time was up.

Han Dong was swallowed into the Toad’s Buccal Cavity once more.

The spatial transmission method from the Toad Ancestor was somewhat unique… Han Dong was not in some indescribable ethereal hallway.

Instead, he stood on a moist, dark red oral cavity, atop a soft and hairy tongue.

During the transmission, Han Dong tried to make another small request.

Since they were being sent as a team, Han Dong also planned to bring along Winry.

“Toad Ancestor, there is another member of our team stationed at the camp; we hope to bring her along with us.”

“There’s no need… Too many people is not a good thing, five is already the maximum I had anticipated.”

“Five people?”

“Maritzis Spotted will be going to Fate Space with you… She belongs to the ‘Devout Believers’ and is a Demon developed from pure humans.”

“…Okay.”

Han Dong did not say much else.

The chess piece of Maritzis thrown out by the Toad Ancestor was most likely meant for surveillance and balancing.

When Han Dong returned to the depths of the cave… it was as if two lemons were hanging in front of his eyes, unbearably sour.

In the time it took for Han Dong to return to the Expeditionary Army camp,

Dumps had arranged for his ‘Supreme Massage Package.’

Feeling the comfort of the massage, the Toad Ancestor no longer occupied Maritzis’s body.

It compressed its black fur Incarnation to human size and went with Dumps to a separate cavity within the cave.

Just like the previously mentioned [Amusement].

Dumps’s ‘massage’ turned out to be an amusing activity the Toad Ancestor had not anticipated.

The strong and forceful kneading of the fingers could effectively relieve some of the ‘Lethargy.’

Despite the sourness, a massage was a trick Han Dong would never learn in a lifetime.

Taking advantage of this period, Han Dong took the opportunity to try to converse with the ‘new teammate’.

“The addition of an Ancestor Body will inevitably raise the ‘Team Level’… the corresponding ‘True Fate’ will also be a whole level higher than the last time in Other Derry Town.

There is no need to reject or target the Ancestor Body.

Cooperative coexistence is the optimal solution.”

As soon as Han Dong appeared, Mia immediately clung to him.

Staying in such a cold and damp cave, she didn’t feel safe at all.

However, because Han Dong was transferred through the Toad’s Buccal Cavity, his body was covered with mucus that facilitated spatial traversal… He smelled like a pickle that had been soaked in a dry toilet.

“Ew~ What is this stuff? Disgusting… Nicholas, what do you think? Do we really have to go to the Fate Space temporarily through the Toad Ancestor?”

“Hmm, the Expeditionary Army has already given the instructions.

We just need to focus on completing the task at hand… The changes are indeed beyond expectation, but they are also beneficial for us.”

As Han Dong finished speaking, he also nodded towards Abe who was beside him.

“However, according to the arrangement of the Toad Ancestor… Maritzis will also enter the Fate Space with us.”

“What?!”

Abe and Mia were both startled at the same time.

But the reason for their surprise was different.

Abe was surprised that an Ancestor Body would actually join his team, which brought risks that needed to be assessed, and the team’s overall positioning would also be elevated.

And Abe had never dealt with an ‘Ancestor Body’ before… The Womi People in the backyard already made him quite uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Mia didn’t think too much and directly locked onto the Ancestor Body with the eyes of a ‘love rival’.

In Mia’s eyes, any female that had a chance to get close to Han Dong was a love rival.

“You guys stay here for a while, I’ll try to communicate with Maritzis… Don’t worry, since it’s the Toad Ancestor’s order, this Ancestor Body will definitely not defy it, and will maintain a cooperative relationship with us throughout.”

Mia originally wanted to follow, to prevent Han Dong from being snatched away by the mother toad.

“Stay put!”

Han Dong’s eyes were exceptionally sharp, startling Mia.

After all, this was not just some ordinary demon… If they had to fight against Maritzis, their small team would probably have to pay a significant price to possibly win.

The current moment was the first exchange between teammates, and the first impression had to be perfect.

Startled by the glare, Mia could only stick out her tongue and retreat.

Tap tap tap…

As he approached Lord Maritzis, the ground, previously only moist, turned into a shallow pond.

Maritzis stood in the center of the pond, with her lower half completely submerged in the water.

From the perspective of Maritzis.

All her hard work setting everything up, luring the Expeditionary Army into a trap, launching a war that was favorable to her side only to be suddenly interrupted.

Moreover, this group of enemies who killed the backyard guardians had now become collaborators.

For a demon whose thinking was extreme and vicious, this was hard to accept.

When Han Dong stepped into the shallow pond, he could already sense a hidden anger.

Wet, curly hair hung in front of her, completely covering her face.

Feeling Han Dong’s approach.

A hand reached out… all the sores and toad spots that were originally on the surface of the skin had disappeared.

It turned into a moist, crystal-clear arm.

Expressing willingness to follow the arrangement of the Toad Ancestor and cooperate with Han Dong in the most basic human way of shaking hands.

Hmph…

Before the handshake, Han Dong still vaguely heard a tone of disdain.

However, this was perfectly acceptable.

How to interact with different species was something Han Dong had some experience with, slowly does it…
