Chapter 608: Chapter 597: Iron King’s First Battle

Hearing this voice, Wen Wen instantly relaxed because it came from the Central Administrator of the first floor of the Sanctuary, whom Wen Wen jokingly called the "metal suit man," the Iron King Jin Kela!

Wen Wen asked Jin Kela through the Sanctuary, "Didn’t you say before that you couldn’t come out to help me?"

Jin Kela answered with a laugh, "I said I couldn’t help you over some trifles, but now I’ve determined that this matter is worth my intervention."

"With Nivea and the others watching over, it won’t matter if I leave for a short while, and besides, this is the first collaboration between the Sanctuary and the Hunters Association. It would be too shabby if only those monsters showed up."

Wen Wen snorted at his words, thinking that whatever this guy says is just hot air, and that he shouldn’t be trusted in the future.

However, Wen Wen didn’t dwell on Jin Kela’s past words, since Jin Kela was currently intervening to help him.

So Wen Wen, following Jin Kela’s instructions, opened a passage nearby for Jin Kela through the Sanctuary and granted him permission to leave the Sanctuary and take action.

Although Jin Kela had once been a Catastrophe-Level Expert, he was also part of the Sanctuary, so he needed Wen Wen’s authorization to leave it.

Xiuluman, who was in pursuit of Wen Wen, suddenly felt a chill and his body began to shiver uncontrollably—it was the sensation of fear.

Because he saw an apparition suddenly appearing behind him without any warning.

The figure was dressed in an odd suit of red and black, with exposed hands and head all in a silver metallic sheen.

"Iron King... Iron King!"

After recognizing the person, Xiuluman’s body twisted into a grotesque shape from fright; the terror Jin Kela had once induced in it was not something that could be erased by a mere millennium.

Eightfold’s complexion darkened. Initially, for him, the Death Knight Xiuluman and the two tigers were already equals, and he was somewhat unable to cope with them. Now a new True-order Master had appeared.

It was clear at a glance that this guy wasn’t human and was very likely an enemy, so he asked Jin Kela through gritted teeth, "Where did you pop out from?"

Jin Kela made a slight bow to Eightfold and said, "My name is Jin Kela, a member of the ’Black Cross,’ and have reached an agreement to assist you in dealing with these tiger-like creatures."

Eightfold breathed a sigh of relief, then asked Jin Kela, "Where’s the proof?"

"Proof... it should be this, I guess." Jin Kela pulled out a scarf with a small tag attached from his chest pocket.

Upon seeing the scarf, Eightfold finally believed in Jin Kela. With Jin Kela on the side of the Demon Hunters, they would at least not appear too weak.

Eightfold was reassured, but Jin Dahuo and Mother Yu Changhu became despondent; previously, the attacks from the Death Knight and Eightfold mostly fell on them, and now with a new True Order Master joining in, their chances of successful escape grew even slimmer.

The Death Knight ceased his attacks on the two tiger-like creatures and turned to stare at Jin Kela.

"You seem much weaker than before. I am the Death Knight Andulusa, do you remember me?"

"Who are you, have we met before?"

Jin Kela furrowed his brow as he looked at the Death Knight. There had been too many monsters he oversaw a thousand years ago, and apart from ones like Aker Aru, who had crafts and were beaten by him into becoming fertilizer for farmers, the rest of the monsters were not significant enough for him to remember.

The Death Knight suddenly started laughing, finding himself absurd.

For the first few centuries after escaping the Sanctuary, just the mention of Jin Kela’s name would send shivers down his spine, for fear that Jin Kela would come knocking on his door. Now, he realized he didn’t even exist in Jin Kela’s memory, what absurdity this was!

"Xiuluman, now this guy only has the strength of the True Order Realm. Haven’t you always hated him to the bone? Now it’s time for you to claim your debt from him,"

Reminded by the Death Knight, Xiuluman realized that Jin Kela was no longer a Catastrophe-Level Expert, just a monster in the True Order Realm like himself.

Fear dissipated from Xiuluman’s heart, and hatred once again took the upper hand. His body suddenly expanded several times over, turning into a ghastly black giant over ten meters tall, with dozens of arms.

This was his true battle state. He had never entered this state before, not even while fighting with Wen Wen Qiao Feiya or Mother Yu Changhu, because just entering this state would exhaust him.

Now that he had the chance to take revenge on Jin Kela, no matter the cost, it was worth it.

Seeing Xiuluman’s form, Jin Kela pointed to him and said with a sudden realization, "I remember you now. Back then, that little deer wouldn’t bloom, and those fertilizers gave me a headache. So I threw you into the fertilizer heap, and you cleaned up those fertilizers very well. I quite liked you."

"Go to hell... go to hell!"

Jin Kela’s words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Xiuluman let out a piercing scream, with hundreds of eyes simultaneously shooting beams of various colors at Jin Kela.

Xiuluman seldom released so many beams at once, because after firing, all of his eyes would wither away. Until new eyes grew back, he would be unable to shoot any beams.

But only in this way could he maximize the power of the beams!

Jin Kela’s expression was unchanged as he stepped forward with his right hand, and a piece of liquid metal slid out from his sleeve, transforming into an Iron Shield in front of him.

Hundreds of beams struck the shield at the same time, and the energy of various attributes exploded, emitting a brightness too intense to look at directly. Everything in the vicinity was reduced to rubble by that light.

"Damn it, not good!"

Wen Wen, who was watching the battle gleefully nearby, cursed and turned to run, but it was still too late. He was directly blown away by the immense strength.

After landing on the ground, Wen Wen felt as if his body had half fallen apart, and his back was especially torn away by a large chunk of flesh from the force.

Originally, he was merely exhausted, but now he was seriously injured. Next time Wen Wen watched the show, he would definitely not stay so close.

When the distorted glow disappeared, Jin Kela was still standing in the same place, but the Iron Shield had vanished without a trace, and his suit on the right side was completely destroyed. His right arm had become charred, and the ground in a thirty-meter radius around him had all evaporated!

Jin Kela sighed and said, "Do you know how much time it cost me to dye a suit this color without it seeming unrefined? I’ve worked stealthily on it for two days..."

He tore off the suit on his upper body, revealing a torso as if cast from pure iron, then used the suit like a rag to briefly wipe his right arm, which then looked pristine once again.

But what Jin Kela wiping his right arm didn’t see was that Xiuluman had already rushed to his side. His gigantic body spread out like a black tide, enveloping him.

"Be careful, its body can dissolve anything it touches!" Qiao Feiya warned shrilly.

"What?"

Jin Kela didn’t hear Qiao Feiya’s words clearly. Then he found the sunlight blocked by the black liquid, and right away he was enveloped by Xiuluman’s black body fluids!
