Pant…

Pant…

Pant…

Physical strength.

Supported by the beneficial fungi inside his body, Han Dong’s 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 that’s nearly a kilometer long.

By the time Han Dong reached the [Middle Layer] again, he was leaning against the wall, gasping for breath.

“Cough cough….”

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.

“Chen Li, quickly help me to the [exit] location… there’s only one chance,” he said.

“Okay.”

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 hee…

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 worm’s body, he would spread his plague power on to the decaying walls, thus accelerating the worm’s decomposition!

The decay of the worm led to the collapse of the connecting passageway.

It thus closed this ‘shortcut’.

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.

“Chen Li, I will handle the journey from here… you should go back to the Portable Prison to prepare. There’s an important task that only you can accomplish,” he said.

“Are you going to fight the clown here?”

“Yes… 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 can’t be discovered.”

The book Han Dong handed to Chen Li was the ‘Eye Book’.

“Don’t you need this book?”

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,

“Everything I need is in this eye.

Even if I hold the book, it only enhances the eye’s 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.”

“Okay.”

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] location…however, 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 ‘monster hand’ stretched out, covered in black hair and sharp claws…. Following that, the clown with a terrifying muscular body squeezed out from the small door.

“Ta-da! I finally found you…I knew you would come here.”

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 ‘interconnect’, something that the clown hadn’t 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.

“By 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?”

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.

“Open Eyes”

Han Dong quickly opened his little demon eye.

Though, just at the moment of opening his eyes, the clown preemptively started making ‘defensive’ movements.

He thrust his hand directly to gouge out his own eyeballs.

The ‘little demon eye’ had a visual pollution ability, it was impossible for the eyelid to block this effect, thus closing one’s 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 Dong’s head, he hoisted him up from the floor.

The other hand, as tough as reinforced steel, tied up Han Dong’s hands behind his back using a rubber rope knot.

To stop Han Dong from deploying his dangerous tentacle ability.

“I need to take you back for some research. Your peculiar abilities might make a significant contribution to my ‘Great Plan’.”

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: “The ‘Great Plan’… Isn’t it just about invading ‘Old Derry Town’? Your ambitions are trivial.”

Undeterred by Han Dong’s mockery, the clown continued:

“When I get control of ‘Old Derry Town’, 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!”

“Oh well, hope you don’t descend outside the Main City, otherwise you wouldn’t even know how you died.”

“Main 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, let’s go!”

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 clown’s neck.

Sizzle!

The lava-like heat immediately started dissolving the clown’s 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.

“Togu…You! How did you recover?”

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 couldn’t understand how Togu’s 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.

“However, you seem a bit weaker?”

Under the grotesque posture of the clown, the strength was not inferior to Togu’s 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 clown’s 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 ‘Clown’s Resurrection (Fog Chapter)’ officially began.
