Chapter 602: Chapter 602 Other Residents
What the Little Demon Eye saw was a slaughter scene, where the [Person Shape] that was hanging, had been completely drained by the moonlight.
“Other Resident – [Moonlight – Michael Miles] has arrived, the current area – ‘Bates College’ has been sealed by the moonlight, seal duration: 48 hours.”
The system’s prompt was very brief, it didn’t provide any side plot hints, nor did it provide any hints on how to resolve the current predicament, it only stated the arrival of the other resident.
Togu, who was in the cell, also heard the system’s voice; such a name awakened a small part of the memory in Togu’s head.
Grilled goat meat, boiled seven-gill eels, a small portion of apple puree and pear slices, hop-flavored barley beer, and white bread made from fine wheat flour.
This was Liszt’s dinner.
The slightly Western-style meal did not suit his taste, but he was incapable of cooking and could not prepare the home-cooked dishes he liked. Moreover, in this world, nobles are strictly forbidden from entering kitchens, storehouses, or any other places meant for servants, as doing so would be a breach of noble etiquette and subject to ridicule.
Of course, the court was an exception.
The chefs and servants of the court were all attended to by aristocrats from the various small fiefs. Liszt’s father, the Earl of Coral Island, had once served as a stablemaster for the new generation of the Sapphire Duke, responsible for caring for the Duke’s beloved steed—a horse with a mix of dragon blood in its lineage.
To this day, the Earl of Coral Island would occasionally enter the court to fulfill the role of stablemaster.
He relished this task, fearing that another noble might replace him as stablemaster and impede his close relationship with the Grand Duke.
In the same vein, the Sapphire Duke also served as a personal valet to the lord of his sovereign state, the Steel Ridge Kingdom, attending to His Majesty the King’s every need.
Essentially, commoners are the servants of the nobility, and the lesser nobility serve the greater nobility.
Only by becoming king of a country does one become a true master.
“Thankfully, here in Fresh Flower Town, I am the sole master and need not attend to anyone,” Liszt thought contentedly while eating his less-than-satisfactory dinner.
The Earl was his father who didn’t care for him and would hardly bother him.
After dinner, Butler Carter would direct the maids to clean up the dishes, and a personal valet would bring water for washing and assist Liszt with rinsing out his mouth.
When the routine was done, Carter left with the other servants, “I will be just outside the door, Master and the two gentlemen, please call upon me if you need anything.”
“Thank you, Mr. Carter,” Liszt said, smiling with a gentleman’s grace. In terms of noble etiquette, he was influenced by his predecessor and didn’t need to learn it actively; it came naturally to him.
Even towards the lowliest servants, one must maintain politeness and respect—in private, it mattered not whether they were beaten or killed or subjected to any sort of mistreatment, but publicly, one must maintain noble demeanor.
“It is my honor to serve you,” Carter said as he smoothly closed the door.
“Liszt,” Goltai said, taking a sip of tea sweetened with honey, “we must quickly make use of the Elf Bug, but the town’s finances are in terrible shape. The previous administrative officer was a fool who did nothing but oppress serfs and left us with a mess!”
He suddenly reached out and put his hand on Diana’s shoulder, “During the previous operation, your speed was a little too fast… the current ‘other Resident’e that appeared is directly involved in the True Fate mainline.
The actions and fights that follow, be sure to sync up with us.”
This time, Han Dong’s tone was no longer calm, but became unusually stern…. which startled Diana a bit.
Although she didn’t really want to follow Han Dong’s orders, before entering the Fate Space, Captain Curran had specifically instructed her to see Han Dong as the team leader during this operation.
“Okay… got it.”
Diana’s actions indeed scared people with her speed.
But when the enemy’s strength may be higher than hers, such ‘swiftness’ may not necessarily be a good thing.
“We will first directly collide with the other resident, to measure the strength of the ‘Other Chapter’… if we can’t beat them, or if any unknown dangerous situations occur that threaten our lives.
I will try to delay time, you guys must find a place without moonlight to hide and discuss the next strategy.”
An attempt is a must.
The difficulty of [True Fate] needs to be figured out, so that Han Dong can formulate the subsequent plans.
…
[Baseball Field]
The moonlight sprinkled on the field.
Han Dong and the other two slowly walked out from the dark side of the grandstand, exposing their bodies to the moonlight.
This transition from darkness to light should bring a sense of comfort… but now, it gave the three of them a creepy feeling, as if they were being watched by a terrifying creature.
Cass had already held the heavy sword and the large shield in his hands
①Stone Pig Sword (Blue, Fine) – A heavy sword made by the Pig Tribe for the Stone Pig elder, a heavy two-handed weapon ([Domination] can be held in one hand).
Adds ‘Stone Pig Charge’ effect when attacking, increases swing speed, each hit on the target will increase the user’s defense power.
② Cold Iron Barricade (Purple, Unique) – The final reward from the〈Cold Prison〉event, a large shield ([Domination] will not be affected by the slow effect of the large shield).
When blocking an attack, it will apply a cold winter effect, slowing down the target.
Activating “Choice of Harsh Winter” when a perfect block is executed.
Choice One – “Ice Scale Armor”, absorbs the opponent’s attack energy and transforms it into icy scales, creating a temporary layer of injury-absorbing armor for the bearer.
Choice Two – “Cold Winter’s Chill”, completely mitigates damage while freezing the target. The length of freezing depends on the target.
A true defender.
Cass, in a baseball uniform and wielding such a sword and shield, looked like a hero who had traveled to a magical world.
Diana showed no change in physique or any offensive equipment…she herself was a weapon.
Caw~ Caw~
Hundreds of Crows had been stationed around the ballpark stands, monitoring the surroundings within a hundred-meter radius.
“Eh…how did he appear?”
Under circumstances where the Crows did not catch sight of the target.
Moonlight Miles, wearing a white leather mask, was already standing at the edge of the baseball field, his fifty-yard shoes and trouser legs exposed in the moonlight.
Regarding this situation.
Han Dong only felt a tiny bit of nervousness, but more of expectation.
Previously in the third-tier classroom, Han Dong even had a moment of hesitation, even to a certain extent a deliberate idea, to let the one-armed guy successfully execute his plan.
As Miles stepped into the baseball field and immersed himself fully under moonlight…
An indescribable field of pressure emanated from him.
The Residents of the Other and Demons should not be compared…the oppressiveness and unknown fear he provides are unique.
“Cass, you make a frontal charge, Diana assists the attack… You must let Cass attract attention first before you start.”
“Alright.”
Based on Togu’s intelligence.
Miles is prone to physical attacks, it is perfect to let Cass and Diana probe.
“Lion Strike!”.
The charge technique given to Cass by the Lionheart Knight Group.
A giant shield in the front, his momentum and impact increase with each step forward…But, this Mr. Miles seemed a little slow and made no evasive actions.
Clang!!
Strike on target!
A wave of air spread in a ripple effect across the baseball field, cracks even appeared at the impact point.
“Wow… awesome.” Even Diana praised without intending to.
However…
Miles, who took the blow with his body, only took five steps back.
This situation confused Cass…The power and momentum accumulated over a hundred meters were enough to send a Demon flying.
At this moment, Diana followed up.
One hand seized Miles’s mask, another hand grew a highly penetrating bone spur from the palm, locking onto the human’s weakest spot, the temple.
Pierce through!
Suddenly…Miles moved.
One hand seized the penetrating bone spur from Diana, power overpowering.
The other hand swiftly cut with a dinner knife.
Even though Diana was already feeling danger and had actively disengaged the bone spur, retreating quickly…
The next second.
The index and middle fingers were thrown into the air.
But, that was the best-case scenario.
At the same time, a dim moon mark emerged on Diana’s neckline, as if she had been “marked”.
