My Cell Prison

Chapter 432: The Deepest Place
Escape successful.

The [Omen – Tragic Product of the Cult] has been cracked.

As Han Dong proceeds further down the stone steps, he stumbles upon another piece of paper on the staircase.

“You have obtained ‘Manuscript Seven’

All of the manuscripts are collected by Han Dong separately, to be used at special moments.

The monster could chase him at any given moment. Han Dong needs to cross this layer and proceed to the bottommost layer, where the ‘Bishop’ resides, which is the core and most dangerous area of the cult.

As a result of Han Dong’s roll of the dice, the [Level-5 Imprisonment Card] was discarded…

Therefore, the current floor now poses no danger.

Nicole’s voice echoes, “I told you before… The cult members summon lower-level lifeforms from different spaces through summoning rituals to fight here. The most powerful surviving lifeforms are then combined with outstanding members of the cult.

They create an elite team within the cult’s cabinet.”

Han Dong nodded, staring at the empty floor, and communicated with Nicole: “Hmm…It seems they already know about our intrusion and have temporarily halted operations here.

Let’s go straight to the bottom.

The zombie legion will delay the elites of the cult, and we will target the Bishop directly.”

“Okay!”

Han Dong and Nicole are both ready…but, their ultimate goals are different.

Nicole wants to kill the Bishop and return to the deep sea through the [gate].

Whereas Han Dong’s goal also involves something deeper.

“Kelvin, come here.”

Han Dong called this excellent young man over.

Without asking too many questions.

Swish!

Han Dong directly poked a finger into Kelvin’s heart, immediately injecting a high concentration of G-virus solution.

Thump!

The sound of Kelvin’s heartbeat echoed throughout the floor, indicating the tremendous strain on his body.

Under Han Dong’s observation, among all the townspeople, from initially accepting the G-virus to now…Kelvin was the only one capable of deep evolution besides basic stability.

So, he decided to give this young man more opportunities.

“Hold on…”

Kelvin held his heart with both hands, and a large amount of hyperplastic tissue appeared around it.

After a while, his condition stabilized.

Kelvin showcased the high concentration of G-virus in the form of ‘bone spurs’.

Sharp and sturdy bone spurs, like bony armor, covered all over Kelvin’s body…not only providing defense, but also making the retrieving of subsequent arrows quicker and allowing for multiple consecutive shots.

“Good! Let’s go…”

The passage leading to a deeper layer was straight ahead.

However, as the squad reached the center of this floor-

“Great Messenger! Have you come in person?”

A voice akin to a ghost directly entered Han Dong’s mind, audible to him alone.

“Hmm? What’s that?”

Upon being observed with the Demon Eye, it seemed like a faceless specter floating in the shadows, without any signs of hostility.

As Han Dong stood face to face with the specter, various tornado-like currents wrapped around him, and he entered a shadow realm, separated from his squad.

The blurry specter, in this realm, slowly revealed its true form.

A faceless specter, full of peculiar symbols, its body pierced by numerous black nails and fixed on a stone column.

The formation of the shadow realm was due to the symbols on this person.

Its facial features seemed to be covered by a thin layer of membrane, only a bit of the nose and the contours of the indented mouth could be seen.

“Who are you?”

“I was once an auxiliary bishop of the cult, and also the person in charge of this layer, Durmen Dale.

Because I obtained a power from the depths of the void, I was envied by ‘Bishop Wilcotts’, fearing that I would seize his position and power, he imprisoned me here.

That guy is engulfed by greed, completely immersed in the void and can’t extricate himself.

I knew that one day the messenger would come to hinder Wilcotts’ insane actions…yet, it seems like you, the messenger, are currently being restricted by our world and can’t fully utilize your power.

I am willing to tell you the secrets about the cult and Wilcotts…”

“Hmm.”

Han Dong acted aloof, just like a ‘messenger’ is supposed to.

However, he was surprisingly startled within.

“Hmm? Again, such special treatment…Does it mean that if the omen is cracked through the dice, the corresponding omen would turn into good luck? The first time I met Nicole, I got such an assistant.

And the second time, I even got help from a core member of the cult?”

There are two important points in the information given by the auxiliary bishop.

First, the massive array used for [opening the gate] still exists at the bottom-most layer, the Bishop is still trying to constantly grasp the power of the other side of the gate.

Second, a series of details regarding the void energy gained by the Bishop that need to be taken into account during combat.

“Eminent Messenger, please take me into your body, even if I just become basic energy… My soul has been nailed here by the bishop, and once the nail is pulled out, my soul will scatter.

It would be meaningful for my death if I could become a part of you.”

Without saying much, Han Dong just released a few tentacles and absorbed the person, transforming him into a part of mythical energy.

The shadow realm was dissolved, and Han Dong immediately led his squad to the deepest layer.

Meanwhile, the monsters in the Imprisonment Maze Area had also lifted the steel plate leading to this layer, and were coming after them.

…

The stone steps leading to the deepest area and the surrounding walls had a few areas that were lit with a dark purple glow.

This was not some kind of paint.

Upon closer inspection, you would find that the area covered by the dark purple color corresponded to a dimensional space… like a maze of spatial passages.

“The Void can devour other spaces… Since the [gate] has opened here before, the surrounding space has been partly occupied by the void. Try as much as possible not to come into contact with the void; normal bodies will be stripped off directly.”

Han Dong immediately passed on Nicole’s explanation to his squad members.

The further down, the higher the coverage of purple void, which limited the combat area to some extent.

The depth of this descent was much deeper than before.

Eventually, they arrived at a quite spacious area.

Five finely carved giant stone pillars stood tall in the central area, forming a large circle.

The interior was packed with intricate summoning arrays. It seemed that the [gate] had been opened there once before.

A dozen or so members of the cult, covered in dark red church robes, stood upright, seemingly waiting for the arrival of the invaders.

At the deepest part straightforward, there was a mysterious person wearing a deep purple gown seated on a chair made of bones. This was the Bishop in person.

However, Han Dong’s focus was not on the Bishop, but on the five finely crafted energy stone pillars and the intact summoning array.

“It seems… everything is ready.”
