Chapter 289 289

Chapter 50. You're Not Human.

Without the bellows-like yells, the silence here was suffocating.

In fact, without the work of Mungo's high-powered oxygen-consuming machine, it was not as suffocating in the room.

"How did you find out?" Mungo suddenly said.

His voice was a little different from what Char had imagined. It was not the usual boorish barbarian style, but rather magnetic and textured.

"It's simple. Since you have the strength to break the ice on the door, open the door, and bring me in, why don't you even have the strength to press the button? Isn't this a little too unreasonable?"

Char made it sound so easy, but in fact, he was just suspicious and had not thought too much about it. The real reason was that when he turned around, Messiah was staring at Mungo and noticed that something was wrong, so he informed Char.

He was right but why did it feel insulting?

There would only be two outcomes: "I'll kill you when I get my breath back", or "you're so stupid to do whatever I tell you to do."

No matter which one it was, he couldn't do it.

"If you don't do this, you'll never be able to get out."

"I won't lie to you. There are many buttons on this door, and each one of them represents a 'deal'. If you want to activate them, you must pay a sufficient price," Mungo said in a low voice.

"So you're saying that you also paid the price for opening this door and brought me in?

"Yes."

Char could not help but size him up as he was so easy to talk to.

He didn't expect Mungo to be alive, nor did he expect the door to be so mysterious, but he knew that some of Mungo's words were right.

The way to open the door to the mausoleum in the inner ring was indeed a 'deal', and to a certain extent, charging was also part of the deal. In the original scenario, the door would open if it absorbed enough blood, which was exactly as what he had said.

However the problem was that in the original scenario, there was no such thing as a mountain of flesh lying there after the door was opened, and the door was not red.

Moreover, Muru would eventually find Mungo's body—it was a blood-red skeleton, not a mountain of flesh.

Now, there was a mountain of meat called Mungo, and there was blood on the door, but the door did not open. In contrast, these keywords could be connected in this way.

"The blood on the door stopped the door from opening, and the reason why the Mungo's remains didn't disappear is also because the blood hasn't faded.

Then, compared to the original scenario, what was the difference?

It was probably time.

This time, it was too early. If Mungo had been like this all along, he would have held on for three years. Perhaps he would not have been able to hold on any longer, and as he died, the blood on the door would have faded.

If there's another possibility...

Char went up and kicked him twice.

"Hey, weren't you immobilized before you caught me?"

"That was my last shot, I should have broken your neck." Mungo snorted.

Char raised an eyebrow. "Did you lie down awkwardly like this since then?"

"What else could I do?"

Great. There would not be a problem then.

Char had a rough idea. The blood on the door might really represent Mungo's HP. His guess might be right.

With this thought, he stepped forward and wanted to play a sword at Mungo's neck, but Mungo did not have a neck!

F*ck!

He simply waved the sword in front of Mungo's eyes.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

"Hahaha…"

Mungo rolled his eyes, his words full of mockery, as if he was not afraid that Char would do such a thing.

Char exerted some force and stabbed in by a centimeter, but it did not penetrate the fat layer.

He changed his position again and slashed at Mungo's seemingly soft stomach using the skills of the Drow Swordsman. However, he failed to penetrate the fatty layer and even broke his sword trying.

Mungo's expression was becoming more and more arrogant.

"It's no use, don't waste your energy!" he said arrogantly.

It was only when Char took out an invisible sword that his expression changed.

Mungo could sense a dangerous aura from the sword.

"You're scared?" Char laughed.

"Huh, you think I'm afraid of you? Come at me!" Mungo shouted at the top of his lungs.

Swoosh

The sword light flashed, and to his surprise, the "Fire of Origin" failed to leave a wound on Mungo's stomach. Although the sword did not break, Mungo remained unharmed.

Strange…

Could it be that the sword's special effect did not work on Mungo?

That's impossible. Even Zin'rokh was as fragile as paper in front of Mystletainn.

Mungo acted arrogantly because he has a thick HP bar.

Char's defeat made Mungo even more arrogant. He laughed at Char's incompetence, mixed with all kinds of barbaric vulgarities like a noisy crow.

"Trash! Can you hurt me? You can't, right? Hahahaha!"

He probably hadn't communicated with anyone in many years, and now he was pouring out vulgarities as if he was taking revenge. His smug look was somewhat similar to Muru.

Char thought about it for a few seconds as he cursed, then took out a gem.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

[Power Gem]

Able to control all mechanical objects and restore them to their factory settings.

According to what Franco said, this was the "Control" of the three gemstones "Creation", "Control", and "Destruction". Since this door had a " trade " function, it was obviously a mechanical door.

Char brought the stone close to the exquisitely-shaped blood-red copper door. The light on the stone spread out like silk and connected tightly to the door. Suddenly, a connection was established, and then the light shrank, completing the control.

"No..."

Mungo let out a heart-wrenching scream. He felt a supreme willpower appear in his mind, completely taking over his thoughts, and he could no longer disobey this hateful human in front of him.

"You're such a great and respectable master!"

He had to change his words to honorifics, but the moment the thought of humiliation rose in his mind, he bounced up a few inches from the ground as if he had been struck by lightning. Then, he fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang.

He was now Char's slave.

"What's going on?! What is that? How can you control me?" Mungo roared.

"I also made a mistake. I was so naive to think that you were a human. That's why I stabbed you with this sword. But you're not a human. Your true form is this door" Char patted his forehead.

The "Fire of Origin" forceful 50 - 50 split effect meant that "the defense attributes of the target of this sword (Dodge, Defense, Parry, Block, Damage Immunity, etc.) would be reduced to the same level as the wielder's.

The target was undoubtedly referring to a living being with intellect. It should be at least an opponent that could resist, not a wall or an item.

Otherwise, with this sword's attribute of being equal to anyone, it could completely pierce through the Earth's core and the world, which was clearly impossible.

With that in mind, he took out the mechanical relic Power Gem and controlled the wall, as well as Mungo, who he didn't know if he was a wall spirit or a man in the wall.

"Come on, tell me everything you know."

Char sat down and looked at him with interest.

"Or, I can pry open your mouth."
