Chapter 406: Three Great Enchantments (1/2)
GDK 406 – Three Great Enchantments
When Han Shuo returned to the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band, he discovered that with the support of Grant, Trunks was sitting in the middle of the practice arena and was currently raising his head and staring into the vast white sky.
Trunks was still very weak. Although his wounds had been treated, it would be impossible for him to recover without ten to fifteen days of rest. The most severe injuries were his severed hand and feet tendons. Roughly a month would be needed for them to reattach and regain their original durability.
It was very clear that Trunks was worried about the Soul Destroyer mercenary band. However, as his tendons were severed, he could only sit here weakly, similar to a disabled person, unable to move his hands and feet.
Luckily his eyes had gradually recovered its light. As he gazed into the sky, he had a thoughtful expression, indicating that although he suffered heavy injuries, he still had a strong mentality.
“Why have you come out here. It is best if you sincerely stay indoors and recuperate for this period of time. Don’t worry, the invaders have already retreated in heavy defeat. In the short term, Laureton would definitely be powerless to deal with us.” Han Shuo descended by Trunks’ side and berated.
“It’s ok, I’m feeling better now. Hehe. I’m not willing to hide inside and bitterly wait for others to bring me information during the Soul Destroyer mercenary band’s most dangerous period of time.” Trunks smiled as he replied. Pausing for a moment, he knitted his brows and asked, “Bryan, is Florida dead?”
Han Shuo replied while nodding, “That’s right. I know you wanted to personally kill him, but there are immense benefits for us in killing him now. With his death, the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band would fall into disunity. The number of our enemies would also decrease greatly. Hence, I didn’t let him get away.”
Trunks sighed and said ruefully, “Hai, not killing personally can be considered regretfully but his early demise is indeed beneficial to us. If I had got rid of him previously, all these disorderly matters wouldn’t have happened. It seems that I am to blame for all of these matters.”
“Besides Florida, Adam Menlo died as well. The two of them were the pillars of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band and the House of Menlo respectively. Their deaths have caused great repercussions for the two powers. Currently, there are still three thousand people in the surroundings, including the people under Laureton. However, I believe they would be departing shortly.” Han Shuo narrated the details of the battle to Trunks.
“Don’t need to worry about the remaining matters here. I know you have many matters to deal with. Leave Laureton to me. I’ll send Laureton packing.” Trunks replied.
“It’s just one Laureton, I can remove him in passing. It wouldn’t take up too much of my time.” Han Shuo looked at Trunks in astonishment. “Based on his current injuries, he definitely won’t fight with you in the near future.” Han Shuo was somewhat worried.
“Bryan, the Valley of Sunshine has its own rules. If I want to convince others, I should not completely rely on your strength. Only if I openly get rid of Laureton and the Cairo mercenary band would I be able to successfully hold power in the Valley of Sunshine and win the respect of others.” Trunks who still had a weak complexion said resolutely.
Han Shuo was stunned, hesitating a moment before saying, “But, your injuries…”
“Hehe, don’t need to worry. It’s not like I would immediately deal with Laureton. As you said, based on Laureton’s personality, he definitely won’t dare to attack this place without absolute certainty. Now that the flying magical creatures of the House of Menlo have also been killed by you, they definitely wouldn’t dare to attack in the near future.
We still have Gilbert here. As time passes, they would surely give up. Be rest assured. After experiencing the pain previously, I would no longer be complacent. I have the confidence in eradicating Laureton and the Cairo mercenary band!” Trunks looked extremely confident. Having experienced the ruthless torture previously, there seemed to be a change in Trunks’ body.
When Han Shuo heard what Trunks said, he looked at Trunks deeply and hesitated for a while before smiling and said, “Since you are so insistent about it, I would no longer interfere with the matters of the Valley of Sunshine. However, if you face any difficulties, you must inform me as quickly as possible!”
“Don’t worry. The Soul Destroyer mercenary band isn’t solely mine. I know what needs to be done!” Trunks smiled as he replied.
“Gilbert, you stay here. Before Trunks recovers, look after him properly for me!” Han Shuo looked at Gilbert and instructed.
“Understood, honorable master.” Gilbert acknowledged Han Shuo’s instructions.
Trunks actually wanted to rely on his own strength. To firmly wield power within the Valley of Sunshine, he indeed couldn’t rely on others for everything and could only utilize the strength he had to get rid of the strongest power in the Valley of Sunshine, the Cairo mercenary band. Only then can Trunks truly obtain everyone’s respect.
For him to have such a realization and train of thought, Han Shuo was surprised and at the same time, full of admiration. This proved that Trunks was truly a talent. Furthermore, Han Shuo could see the changes in Trunks ever since he had rescued Trunks. He realized that Trunks had become stronger and more ruthless, no longer as careless and benevolent.
The previous lesson was really too cruel. Trunks had to go through torment more painful than death. There would no longer be any situations too difficult for him from now on. Han Shuo precisely noticed this and suddenly understood why Trunks asked Han Shuo to leave Laureton to him. Apart from using Laureton to test his methods, he also wanted to use Laureton to polish his martial technique.
Currently, only Laureton was able to deal with Trunks within the entire Valley of Sunshine. If Han Shuo killed Laureton now, Trunks would lose the most suitable opponent. Not only would he lose much pleasure, he would also lose a turning point in making a breakthrough. It was also only through Laureton that Trunks would be able to improve once again.
Having understood Trunks’ intention, Han Shuo didn’t insist on his own thoughts and truly let go off matters within the Valley of Sunshine. He then said his goodbyes to Trunks and Gilbert within the same day, returning to the Cemetery of Death from the Valley of Sunshine.
Returning to the Cemetery of Death, Han Shuo followed his original purpose and headed down to explore.
The reason why he returned to Cemetery of Death was due to Wolf’s information. Were it not for Gilbert suddenly requesting for emergency assistance, Han Shuo would have already long since explored the third layer of the Cemetery of Death. Now that he had returned, Han Shuo immediately headed below the Cemetery of Death.
Having had the previous experiences, Han Shuo’s exploration seemed to be a walk in the park. Han Shuo instilled his mental energy into the first two layers, easily breaking through the enchantments and headed for the passageway that led to the third layer. Han Shuo only stopped when he sensed the existence of an enchantment.
Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo slowly condensed his mental energy to probe the area where the enchantment was.
