Chapter 678: The Surprise of the Leader!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Leader Yerkes was dumbfounded! ‘I told you to make it short, but I didn’t let you finish the story in just a few sentences! What about the details?’
The leader took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger. He enunciated each word clearly:
“You’d better tell me the details!”
Beside him, Coachman Sali also snickered in his heart. ‘Make it short? As someone who knew about this outcome at the time, I was so shocked that I couldn’t believe it. Yet, you still want me to cut a long story short?’
However, the coachman immediately suppressed the thoughts of ridicule in his heart and immediately explained,?“There was indeed a Puppeteer in the Undead Mountain Range this time! We also encountered the Puppeteer in Netherworld Town!”
The leader, Yerkes, also became nervous. Although he knew that their group had returned unscathed, he still couldn’t help but feel nervous! After all, this was a Puppeteer!
The Union had joined hands with so many forces in the Imperial Capital to eradicate the Puppeteer from 100 years ago. But even so, they had not completely eradicated the Puppeteers! Today, 100 years later, he had revived again!
Coachman Sali did not deliberately keep the leader in suspense. Instead, he immediately continued:
“First, the Puppeteer controlled me and Rabbit! Then, he controlled Monkey!”
Leader Yerkes’ heart immediately tightened at this sudden change! Three of the four members of this team were controlled by the Puppeteer! Was this the rhythm of a team wipe-out?
Even if the leader, who knew the outcome, saw that the team returned safely, Yerkes still found it hard to believe! The only one who was not controlled was the dragon-headed mask Lugh!
Could it be that the person wearing the dragon-headed mask really managed to turn the tide?
It had to be so!
Leader Yerkes was right!
Coachman Sali immediately continued, “Later on, Captain Dragon managed to suppress the Puppeteer at the critical moment! Rabbit and Monkey both broke away from the Puppeteer’s control in an instant!”
“At this moment, Captain Dragon seized this opportunity to end the Puppeteer with one strike!”
Commander Yerkes’ blood boiled as he listened from the side!
With his own strength, he turned the tide at the most critical moment! He saved the lives of Rabbit and Monkey!
What kind of heroic spirit was this?
Who didn’t have a heroic dream when they were young? Even Leader Yerkes was a brilliant genius youth when he was young!
However, just like Monkey and Rabbit, their talents were similar. If he was in the same position, Leader Yerkes couldn’t do anything against the Puppeteer when he was young!
Furthermore, Lugh killed the Puppeteer while the Puppeteer controlled two of his teammates!
In front of a genius, he had accomplished something that most geniuses could not!
Wasn’t this kind of thing even more exciting?!
At the thought of this, Leader Yerkes was even more satisfied. Lugh was able to become the Dragon of the 12 Zodiacs!
He had also made up his mind to reward the cat maid who had brought Lugh into the Union!
When Rabbit recalled this soul-stirring scene, she could not help but feel some lingering fear!
If it wasn’t for the fact that Captain Dragon, whom she had looked down upon in the beginning, who had followed them to the Undead Mountain Range, then their operation this time would probably have been wiped out!
...
After Leader Yerkes finished sighing in his heart, he somewhat reacted.
“Since the Puppeteer has already been killed by Captain Dragon, then what’s the deal with Monkey becoming the new Puppeteer?”?Yerkes asked.
He was a little confused. What exactly happened? Why did Monkey become a Puppeteer? Could it be that a Puppeteer could be passed down?
At this time, Coachman Sali scratched his head in embarrassment.
“I’m not too sure about what happened next. Let Captain Dragon explain it to you!”
Leader Yerkes looked at Lugh who was standing at the side, waiting for the next explanation.
Rabbit the coachman also looked at Lugh with curiosity. They did not know what exactly happened to Monkey.
Lugh pondered for a moment and then said, “At first, when I swung my knife at the Puppeteer, he did not dodge. But my feeling told me that the Puppeteer did not die directly under my knife...”
At this point, Lugh paused and said word by word, “Because the Puppeteer is a Vampire! Any fatal injury will not let him die immediately! As long as the sun doesn’t shine on him, he won’t die!
“And the situation of our battle at that time was when the sky was dark!”
“There was still some time before daybreak!”
Hearing this, the hearts of the trio instantly rose!
The Puppeteer’s ability was already very strong and very abnormal! And now, with the addition of a Vampire’s physique...! f reewebnovel.com
How could they defeat the Puppeteer?
This was simply something impossible to do!
Thinking of this, everyone became even more expectant of what would happen next to Lugh!
“In the end, the Puppeteer might have thought of something and automatically dissipated his consciousness... Waiting for the day to come, his body would slowly rot under the sunlight...”
Hearing this, Rabbit and the others heaved a sigh of relief!
“It’s alright!” Rabbit patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Lugh’s next words made Rabbit’s heart jump.
“But after the Puppeteer died, a black bead fell out of his body!”
“At a glance, this black bead makes people subconsciously think that it is a treasure that can increase one’s strength! It makes people have evil thoughts and want to rush over and grab this bead!”
“However, I still found a trace of ominous aura from this black bead!”
“As expected, after I noticed its abnormality, this bead actually chased after me...”
At this point, Lugh paused and said with some relief, “Fortunately, this bead seems to be infected with the Vampire’s characteristic — fear of the sun!”
“When I was under the sun, this bead chased me and immediately fell to the ground as if it was sealed...”
“I also thought that this bead was no longer dangerous... my mind slowly relaxed.”
“And my mind was also tense for a day. At this moment, I lay on the ground and slowly fell asleep...”
Leader Yerkes frowned when he heard this. He was thinking that Lugh shouldn’t have fallen asleep at this time, leaving such a huge hidden danger behind...
But Rabbit had a face full of agreement.
“Indeed, we’ve been tense ever since we came to the Undead Mountain Range! After Captain Dragon settled everything, it’s understandable that he fell asleep!”
Hearing this, the leader finally reacted. Yes! Even Lugh was so tired!
