My Cell Prison

Chapter 454: Chapter 454 Temporary Departure
 

The light of fire flares up.

A creature bearing humanoid features comes into view.

It wears a curly silver wig on its head and its body is adorned with noble garments tinged in deep blue.

Its hollow eye sockets are filled with numerous small eyeballs,

a sharp mosquito-like proboscis forming its nose,

a completely torn mouth coated with a refined liquid lipstick.

A longitudinal slit runs down the middle of its lower lip and, when it opens its mouth, the jaw and neck completely stretch open, revealing numerous writhing crimson straws.

Beyond that, a body structure similar to an insect seems hidden beneath its noble clothes.

Its lower half has completely morphed into a plump worm-like form, rosy and full, seemingly corresponding to a significant blood sac area.

…….

When the title ‘Scarlet Manor’ was given,

Knight Priscilla, who led the team, immediately wore a shocked expression.

This large creature Han Dong had discovered was not a so-called ‘Fourth Stage’ infected creature… but an outsider from beyond the city walls.

Although it had not reached the level of a [Demon],

it was infinitely close to the existence of a demon, on almost the same level as the Swollen Doctor.

Meanwhile, due to a special “Blood Brew”, such a Scarlet Servant is more powerful than any of its peers, posing a threat to a common knight.

Within common understanding, an apprentice knight has no combat abilities when facing such an entity.

Knight Priscilla raised her hand, shielding the others behind her.

“This creature is beyond your abilities, find a place to avoid combat, or try to break the exit and escape.

Your bodies, exposed to such high concentrations of blood fog for a long time, may also be infected. Think of a way to protect yourselves.

I can’t look out for you right now.”

“Alright! We will destroy the exit!”

Mia just wanted to escape.

She was seeing such a Scarlet Servant for the first time and under extreme circumstances of insufficient information and easy infection, she wasn’t willing to take a risk.

“Okay! We’ll meet you at the exit.”

Han Dong noticed that his younger school sister’s face had developed red patches, indicating early infection, so he must first send her away from the underground area.

“Mia, carry your school sister.”

“Understood.”

Using the spider legs that had grown out of her back, Mia easily carried her school sister, moving rapidly between the stairwells.

After shooting a glance at the Scarlet Servant in its weird position, Han Dong also temporarily withdrew.

The basement exit had been completely blocked by ‘red pustules’ that looked ready to burst on contact… and the ensuing blood explosion would infiltrate the human body rapidly.

“Life Absorption”

He made a gentle turn with his left hand.

Without touching the pustules, he easy suctioned all the blood energy stored within, leaving only the skin part that turned into a pile of black sand.

Of course.

Han Dong would not absorb the sucked out blood to prevent contracting the Scarlet Curse.

In this way, Han Dong easily eliminated the Scarlet Servant’s blocking method and returned to the surface.

“Wow! That’s amazing…*cough cough*”

The young schoolgirl marvelled, but was taken by a slight cough. The red patches on her skin were continuously increasing.

“Should I take the schoolgirl outside for treatment from the Holy City?”

“No… I will treat her.”

The primary purpose of Han Dong fleeing from the basement was to test if he could treat this sort of infection… If he could, then Han Dong could handle similar situations in the future with ease.

“Open Eyes”

When the Little Demon Eye opened, the body of the younger student sister was fully revealed, with the condition of her internal blood circulation clearly visible.

“Has it infiltrated the entire circulatory system? Since it’s a mixed type of curse and blood plague, it needs to be dispelled at the same time for a complete cure.”

Plague Control was fully engaged.

A powerful control over bacteria and viruses immediately took effect on the younger student sister’s body… drawing all infected constituents mixed in the blood towards one area.

Once the aggregation was completed.

Whoosh!

The Plague Doctor’s Short Blade quickly slit open the femoral artery on her thigh.

‘Sandification’

All the infected blood gathered into one mass turned into yellow sand, completing the cleansing.

The red spots on the younger student sister’s body also immediately stopped growing and slowly faded away.

“Thankfully, it was just the first stage. If it had entered the brain, it wouldn’t have been so simple… Can you stop the bleeding yourself?”

Flora quickly sutured the artery and wound with the fine thread carried by the suturing trainee.

“Thank you, senior.”

“Hmm, you and Mia just stay up there… I’ll go down and take a look.”

Flora, who had just been saved by Han Dong, asked anxiously, “Senior, didn’t Knight Priscilla say that we can’t handle that thing? Will you be in danger?”

However, Han Dong didn’t answer the question, and quickly returned to the basement.

At this moment.

Mia retracted her spider legs from the back, came close to the younger sister student, and touched her newly-stitched thigh.

“What are you worried about? This is my man… besides, there’s nothing worth your worry. This thing doesn’t constitute a threat.”

“I… I understand, senior sister.”

…

“Something from the Scarlet Manor has actually come to the Holy City… Unfortunately, this time the red plague infection area coincidentally corresponds to the last Secret Stone incident.

If it’s not the same person behind this, I would find it strange.

If we don’t eradicate such a huge calamity, the Holy City really will be in danger.”

While Han Dong was walking down.

A rather juvenile girl’s voice came into his head.

“What are these bright red lives? Can I come out and help you?”

The one urging him was naturally Nicole.

It took a lot of effort for Han Dong to make her stay in her cell, finally succeeding by using various long novels in the Holy City to have Nicole stay in her cell to read.

“It’s not the time for you to come out yet… If we have to leave the city to go to the so-called ‘Scarlet Manor’ later, you can come out then.”

“Alright.”

When Han Dong was halfway down, he could already vaguely make out the battle situation below.

Logically, a formal knight could completely handle a Scarlet Servant, who had not yet become a demon, if they went all out.

Whether it is due to the special power bestowed by “Blood Brew”,

Or because the blood mist environment in the basement allows the Scarlet Servant to constantly draw and gain endless life support,

Knight Priscilla was unable to gain an advantage.

A bone-piercing nail (a curse-class weapon) for close combat, along with a ranged curse spell held in Knight Priscilla’s hands.

Combining with her own released curse domain, she could continually apply various types of curses on her target during the fight.

However…

“These scarlet lives originally bear a unique curse from the ‘Blood Brew’… This leads to any other curse effects considerably weakened when used on them.

Moreover, once they get cursed, they’d immediately sever their limbs, remove flesh, and rapidly regenerate with the help of the blood mist.”

Knight Priscilla isn’t proficient in other attack methods apart from the curse.

“Might as well give them a bit of my own medicine… Maybe I could extract high concentration of Blood Brew from these servants directly affiliated with the Scarlet Manor.”
