Chapter 198: Division of Labor
As the main target was lost.
Abel immediately abandoned his attack and returned to the squad by using his calves to power up.
At the same time, he drank a bottle of holy water, and the dark lines around his eyes faded partially.
Boom! The floor of the barbershop trembled slightly.
"Something's coming, about the middle of the room."
It was the same position where Barber Charlie's seat sank.
The stone slabs that made up the floor shifted flat, and an opening about three meters in diameter slowly unfolded.
Rumble~~~
A disc elevator underneath the ground is carrying a giant individual slowly upwards.
"The Black-haired Creature.
The Great Lord's personal barber, Charlie, was an extremist who liked to sew hair into people's bodies and conduct hair-related research in all sorts of harsh ways.
In his view, hair was alive and could be cultivated like a plant.
With the advent of the [Dark Age], he finally achieved 'black hair cultivation' and was promoted to one of the important officials of the family.
A 'black-haired creature' that was sewn through black hair, allowing its flesh to reach a height of four meters, was presented to the public.
This creature had four heads taken from different people, on the neck there are visible suture marks of black hair, outside the mouth of each skull hung thick black hair about half a meter long along with four specially modified arms.
For example, the elbow between the forearm and the back arm is completely removed and connected with black hair to increase the length, flexibility and variability of the arm.
Each black hair seems to have a subtle vitality and sway slightly in the air.
In order to kill the "black-haired creature", you must find and destroy the evil heart inside of it.
Han Dong can see this directly through the little magic eyes.
From the surface of the skin and the moving black hair, there are four hearts in total, all wrapped tightly in thick black hair.
"Four hearts, two meters below the left chest, three meters above the right chest, six centimeters below the abdomen and one heart stuck to the back through the mucous membrane and black hair, Be careful.
The density of black hair in the target's body is frighteningly high, deal with it carefully."
"Okay!"
Han Dong seemed to have no intention of getting involved in this battle and continued, "You will deal with this thing, and I will find the way to the lower level, the barber's lair, in a short time.
If we want to end the mission and leave this place, we have to get rid of the barber."
"Okay."
After the communication with Abel was over.
Han Dong took a glance at Mia who was standing at the end of the line and didn't seem too eager to participate in the battle.
"Provide everyone with the "Numbing Potion" at all times, no paddling allowed!"
"Got it."
Mia stuck out her tongue.
It seemed that she didn't really want to fight per-se, and had a deliberate tendency to want to preserve her stamina.
Be careful!!!
This isn't an anime or a TV show, and the enemy isn't waiting for you to take your time deliberating tactics.
This black-haired creation locked on to the entire squad the first second it appeared.
As the joints are articulated with black hair, this black-haired creature has the ability to extend its arms to any length.
The black-haired creature's arms can be extended to any length.
Swinging one of its arms at full force, it slaps at the one closest to him, namely, Abel, the captain of the team who had just retreated back to the team.
During the swing, multiple layers of black hair wrapped around the palm, making the palm harder than steel and powerful enough to slap a huge hole in the wall.
SLAP!!!
Loud slaps resounded through the barbershop.
It was as if Abel had been hit head-on.
The situation was different than expected.
Abel's breath changed in an instant and backhanded the black-haired arm that was drawing towards him, giving it a 'slap'.
The black-haired arm was impacted with a huge force, rotating ten times in a row with the axis of the shoulder, making the black hair completely tangled and the arm unable to move normally.
The breath changed!
Han Dong glanced at the current Abel Rayne.
Spiky white hair that hung back to his ears.
The entire man was about 20% stronger, and the white scent clinging to his body formed a huge bear statue behind him.
"This guy Abel, is so strong!?"
It was already beyond Han Dong's imagination.
Abel, who had inspired the giant bear to guard him, soared in power.
There was no fear of this terrifying black-haired creature, and, like a giant bear, it continued to tread with heavy steps, striking the target head-on.
Period.
The black-haired creature stared at Abel who was charging head-on, continuously shooting out a large amount of spiky black hair from its mouth and between its fingers.
However, Abel didn't make any stopping or defensive moves, completely ignoring these piercing black hairs.
Ding~ding~ding!
Seeing that the black hair would pierce into Abel's flesh, the sharp crashing sounds kept coming.
The black hair was all blocked by a transparent air barrier.
"Gifa . Air Barrier"
The wielder of the spell was none other than Magician Dempsey.
The two geniuses had reached over 80% rapport and could trust each other completely.
Allowing Abel to advance smoothly to the front of his target, he confronted the black-haired creation head-on with the power of a giant bear.
As for Dempsey, he flipped the magic book to a certain page and used the book as a medium for casting spells, directly condensing "Fire Spear" in the air for a long-range attack.
As said before, Mia's sorcery needed a vehicle.
Magic without relying on a 'vehicle' is usually a sphere, such as fireball magic. (It's like pure water being absolutely spherical in a gravity-free space)
As for the Fire Spear that Dempsey had cast, it added a "shaping" process to the general magic, making the magic one step more penetrating.
Seeing this scene, Han Dong was no longer worried about anything.
Shielding himself from the disturbance of the battle, he concentrated on the search of the barbershop.
The "Little Magic Eye" was too good.
With his special vision, Han Dong quickly found the difference.
In a display case of human heads on the upper side of the barbershop, there was a secret compartment that could push the stone.
"Mia!"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
Mia, who was about to step forward to assist in the battle, was once again called out by Han Dong.
"The stone behind this display case should be possible to press, I don't know how to climb the wall, I'll leave it to you."
"Good."
Mia was able to easily climb the wall without making any form changes, with her palm pressed against the wall.
As expected.
The stone was pushed easily, some sort of mechanism triggered.
The lower end of the wall directly opposite opened itself to an alternate elevator that would lead directly to Barber Charlie's private room
"Mia, you come with me!"
However, Mia, who was climbing on the wall, shook her head vigorously, as if she had foreseen the danger at the lower end in advance and was unwilling to go there.
"If you don't come with me, you'll never follow me again either."
"You, are threatening me again!"
A shadow climbed down, just in time for the lift to close, and Mia climbed in.
Before Abel had used his full strength, along with the clearing pendant and herbs to fight the contamination, Han Dong left the battle above entirely to him and Dempsey.
For his part, he planned to meet with this executive of the Stuart family.
After all, some of Han Dong's abilities still weren't suitable for use in front of the squad in a non-critical situation.
The lift ladder sank and the secret compartment closed itself.
