Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!-Chapter 1465 - 1464: Demon of the Shield (As Expected, Civilization Really Is the Best Way to Waste Time)
"You... you..."
Looking at Fang Zheng who was walking towards him, the King’s face turned ashen, and he was sweating profusely.
"How dare you be so disrespectful to me, I am the King of Megmarlo."
"Just a king of a small country, do you really think you’re something?"
Fang Zheng looked contemptuously at the old man in front of him, completely dismissing him. Seeing Fang Zheng in front of him, the old man clenched his fists in anger, gritting his teeth. But the next moment, as if unable to bear the Dragon Might released by Fang Zheng, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted right there.
"Father!!"
Seeing the Old King collapse, Main immediately screamed, and at the same time, the Hero of the Spear also gripped his long spear tightly, thrusting it at Fang Zheng!
"You bastard, stop right there! Lightning Gun!"
Roaring, the Hero of the Spear thrust his spear with force, aiming at Fang Zheng like a bolt of lightning, but then...
"Clang!!!"
The next moment, his eyes widened considerably.
"This, this..."
Facing the full-force strike of the Hero of the Spear, Fang Zheng just lifted a finger, effortlessly blocking the attack.
"A mere kid, seems you won’t learn your place until the real world beats it into you..."
Looking at the Hero of the Spear, drenched in sweat and gripping his spear, Fang Zheng smiled faintly and then flicked his finger lightly.
"Uwaa!!"
The next moment, everyone saw the Hero of the Spear scream as he was sent flying, crashing into the wall in the distance and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Genkan!"
"Are you okay, hang in there!!"
At this moment, the other two heroes hurriedly ran to the side of the bleeding Hero of the Spear, shouting loudly. Then, the Sword Hero clenched his longsword, raised his head angrily, glaring at Fang Zheng.
"Why did you do that!"
"I just taught them how to treat someone who can easily control their life and death."
Fang Zheng slowly walked down the steps.
"Maybe I behaved too normally before... Hmm, I admit, that was my fault. Perhaps when I was summoned to this damn place, I should have done something to make them realize my power. But it’s not too late now, listen, I’ll only say this once."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng coldly scanned the ministers, nobility, and soldiers around him — and those three heroes.
"Now that you know my power, I’ll be frank, I don’t care what grudge you have with the Hero of the Shield, but if you dare to appear in front of me again with any hostility, I will send you to the Western Paradise. When that time comes, perhaps before the waves, I’ll wipe you out completely. So, you’d better not oppose me... Don’t say I didn’t warn you."
Saying this, Fang Zheng walked to Main’s side, glancing at the woman. Under Fang Zheng’s gaze, Main screamed miserably, her legs gave out, and her eyes rolled back as she directly fainted onto the ground. For a moment, only snot and saliva were running from her, and a foul smell of urine and feces spread between her legs.
"Filthy woman."
Looking at Main, covered in filth, Fang Zheng snorted coldly and turned to leave the palace.
Not until his figure completely disappeared did the soldiers and noble ministers, who had been paralysed with fear, react.
"Your Majesty! His Majesty! Pull yourself together!"
"Someone, quickly take Her Royal Highness away!"
"Hero, hero!!"
All of a sudden, the entire palace was in chaos.
"Huff... Huff..."
In the busy movement of his close ministers, the King, who had fainted under the Dragon Might, finally awakened. His face was pale, and he was gasping for breath. Just looking at him, Fang Zheng made the King feel a nearly suffocating oppression, plus that fear coming from the depths of his soul...
"Monster... Demon... Demon! Damn shield! I will never let you get away with this! Never!!"
Fang Zheng did not hear the King’s howling like a defeated dog, for at this moment, he was following the voice that came to his ear again, continuing to walk deeper into the King’s City.
"Is it here?"
Walking into a pitch-black, dim warehouse, Fang Zheng glanced around. It looked like a shop, except there was no owner. Fang Zheng paid no mind, continuing to walk inside, guided by the voice.
In the pitch-black warehouse, there were huge iron cages everywhere. Inside the cages were some ferocious-looking Demon Beasts and Creatures.
"Cough, cough!!"
At this moment, Fang Zheng’s ears sharply caught a faint cough. He stopped, came to a smaller iron cage, and pulled back the curtain above. Inside the cage, a girl dressed in rags, with beast ears and a fluffy tail, was sitting inside. Next to her was another girl with short white hair, also with beast ears and a tail.
"Oh my, isn’t this the esteemed hero?"
At this point, a merchant wearing sunglasses, dressed ridiculously, suddenly appeared beside Fang Zheng.
"Are you the owner here?"
Fang Zheng glanced at the sunglasses-wearing merchant, asking. The merchant nodded.
"Yes, I didn’t expect you to grace this place with your presence. May I ask if you need anything?"
"These two kids... what race are they?"
"You mean them? They’re from the Subhuman Race."
"Not Human?"
"Of course not... If you’re looking for slaves..."
"Are there only these two Subhumans?"
"Yes."
"I want them both, how much?"
"Are you sure?"
Hearing Fang Zheng’s inquiry, the sunglasses-wearing merchant was taken aback.
"I assume you’ve seen; that White Tiger Tribe Subhuman is seriously ill, nearing death. And the Raccoon Species has severe mental disorders from previous abuse..."
"How much."
Fang Zheng didn’t have the intention to continue listening to the sunglasses merchant. Instead, he directly interrupted him. Facing Fang Zheng’s inquiry, the sunglasses merchant gave a sly smile.
"This is the cheapest slave. You only need to pay sixty silver coins."
"Here’s one gold coin, take it."
With a casual flick, a radiant gold coin flew towards the merchant. Then Fang Zheng took two steps forward and grabbed the iron bars, accompanying a creaking sound, in the next moment, the sturdy iron cage was completely torn apart by Fang Zheng. Hearing this sound, the little girl from the Raccoon Species was so frightened that she curled up into a ball, hugging her head with her hands, trembling.
Glancing at the little raccoon, Fang Zheng bent down and picked up the White Tiger Tribe subhuman who seemed on the verge of death.
"......!"
Hearing the sound, the little raccoon lifted her head to look at this scene. When she saw Fang Zheng picking up her companion, she didn’t know where her courage came from, but she suddenly stood up and pounced over, tightly hugging the child.
"Ah... ah..."
Seeing the little raccoon grabbing the White Tiger Tribe girl, trembling and unable to speak, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, then reached out and gently patted her little head.
"You come with me."
After saying this, Fang Zheng turned around and walked out of the cage. The little raccoon hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed behind Fang Zheng.
"Customer, what are you......."
"Find a room."
"Of course, no problem, please follow me."
Since he received the money, the sunglasses merchant immediately led Fang Zheng to a guest room. Then Fang Zheng placed the seriously ill White Tiger Tribe girl on the bed and activated his personal terminal to scan her.
There was no denying, just as the sunglasses merchant said, the girl was already covered in wounds, suffering from a fever due to infections, along with physical weakness due to lack of timely treatment. In modern hospitals, this would require a critical condition notice.
But fortunately, Fang Zheng didn’t have to worry about this issue.
He extended his hand, and soon, a Holy Light descended from the sky, falling on the girl. Under the glow of the Holy Light, the girl’s lacerated wounds healed rapidly. Witnessing this, the little raccoon beside her was wide-eyed in shock, her mouth agape, unable to speak.
Then, Fang Zheng opened the terminal again and administered a shot of medical gel to the little girl.
The combination of magic and technology finally brought the little girl back from the brink of death.
"Oh, truly worthy of being the Hero."
Witnessing this scene, the sunglasses merchant was also wide-eyed in astonishment. He had not expected that Fang Zheng could be so capable, that with just a wave of his hand, he saved a person who was on the verge of death!
"All right, let’s go now."
Seeing the girl wake up, Fang Zheng stood up and spoke, intending to take the two subhuman girls and leave.
"Customer, please wait a moment; we still need to mark the slave marks on them."
"Slave marks?"
"That’s right."
Facing Fang Zheng’s inquiry, the sunglasses merchant snickered.
"Once the slave mark is drawn, she won’t be able to refuse any of your commands......."
"No need."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng snorted lightly, and then he snapped his fingers. The purple slave marks on the girls’ chests shattered instantly and disappeared into the air.
"Oh......"
Seeing this, the sunglasses merchant sighed once more. But quickly, he began to laugh again.
"By the way, since it is as such...Hero."
"Hmm? Is there anything else?"
"As a VIP customer of our store, we have a promotional offer."
"Promotional offer?"
"That’s right, please take a look......"
As he spoke, the sunglasses merchant pulled out a basket from not far behind him, filled with eggs roughly the size of goose eggs.
"What’s this? Smash for gold? How much will you give me if I smash one?"
"Hahaha, Hero, you’re joking."
Hearing Fang Zheng’s question, the sunglasses merchant laughed.
"This is a Demon Egg lottery. As an extra reward, you can pick any one from here."
"Demon Egg?"
"That’s right, you can at least draw a Filo Bird, and if you hit the jackpot, you might get a Dragon Rider worth 20 gold coins?"
"So it’s just an egg lottery game......"
If it were something else, Fang Zheng might not be interested.
But an egg lottery......
Hehehe......
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately applied a Luck Technique to himself and then reached out to pick an egg at random.
"No take-backs, right?"
"Of course, have a safe journey!"
"Oh, by the way."
Just as Fang Zheng was about to leave with the two little girls, he suddenly thought of something and turned back to look at the sunglasses merchant behind him.
"If there are more Subhuman slaves, I want them, but next time I won’t pay."
"Hehe, I understand your meaning......"
Watching Fang Zheng leave the underground shop with the two little girls, the sunglasses merchant revealed a mysterious smile.
"It seems......just like the legends say..."
And at this moment, the reputation of the Demon of the Shield gradually began to spread throughout the entire country.
