My Cell Prison

Chapter 842: Chapter 842: Toad Wall

[Lake Trasimeno Bottom-Toad City]

The main battlefield for the attack on humans was set up in the wetland area, closely connected to Toad City.

Even those who were originally opposed to or neutral towards Toad City’s lord, three other lords of the same rank as “Ancestor Bodies,” responded to the call and all of Toad City followed the wetland combat plan.

There was only one reason.

A certain secret trade had been privately concluded among the lords.

The content of the trade was as follows:

The lord of “Fan Neijia Shadow Manor”: True Eye Shadow Demon-Kite P. Walker

The lord of “Greenwood Manor”: The Green Elder-Mr. Buville Ollieros

The lord of “Deer Mushroom Swamp”: Cultivator-Malo Big Mushroom

The above three lords were required to provide 50% of their land deed usage rights to the lord of Toad City during the battle.

The Toad Ancestor lord would use a chaos treasure (perfected epic) bestowed by Toad Ancestor, “Stone of Moist Tumor,” as the core.

And with four medium-sized land deeds as nodes,

she would construct a “Super Wetland” that could cover an area amounting to 45% of the central region of Yidalos.

Due to the overlapping effect of the four “medium-sized land deeds,” combined with such an epic level chaos treasure… The “Super Wetland” could greatly restrain outsiders’ perception, making them very easily get lost within it.

This was also why “Eye of Expedition” couldn’t see through, and the Expeditionary Army was forced to station troops in the wetland.

That the Expeditionary Army had fallen into a passive position was not a strategic mistake.

At the same time, Toad City’s lord had one more demand.

During the wetland battle, she wanted 80% of the human knights captured… The remaining 20% would then be split among the other three lords, and she would also have the first pick of the human prisoners.

The unequal distribution of spoils of war,

the great risk of 50% land deed usage rights,

and the need to lower themselves to serve under Toad City’s lord as the supreme commander of the ‘Assault War’ during the campaign,

yet the three lords agreed without hesitation.

The reason was simple.

Toad City’s lord, [Maritzis Spotted Back Toad], offered a condition that the other three lords couldn’t refuse, a condition that could advance them one step closer to the Mythical Field, “Watching the Wall.”

Ancestor Return was already an extremely difficult process for demons.

The realization of Ancestor Return made them unique, gave them the status of mid-level lords, and let them hold a place in the world… But no demon would be content with just that.

A deeper “Mythical Field” was already vaguely glimpsed when they gave up everything to achieve Ancestor Return.

Behind that door to the myth lay indescribable power, the fundamental laws of the universe, the ticket to the King’s Abyss.

Everything done by an Ancestor Body.

Including various invasions for land deeds, treasure hunts in dangerous realms, and sacrifices to the kings, were all for the sake of touching the myth.

Currently.

The condition given by Toad City’s lord—”Watching the Wall”—was an alternative way to experience the myth.

Just like the “Pure Blood Brew” originating from Blood Ancestor, which could help Blood Descendant Ancestor Bodies advance one step closer to the Mythical Field… “Watching the Wall” belonged to the advanced methods developed by Toad Ancestor for his subordinates.

Unlike Blood Brew, Watching the Wall didn’t have the problem of side effects.

However, the opportunity for Watching the Wall was also quite scarce, only a few toads had received such a blessing.

Now, what should have been a toad’s blessing.

Was placed before these ‘foreigners,’ who could resist the temptation? Plus, these three lords had already reached their limits, and if they were to develop in the usual manner, they would find it extremely difficult to cross the door to the myth, even if a thousand years passed.

Such an opportunity naturally couldn’t be missed.

…

The timeline momentarily shifted to -[six hours ago], just as the Expeditionary Army had left from beneath Perugia Mountain.

Belonging to three different forces, the Lords arrived at Toad City, each carrying a Land Deed after learning about “Watching the Wall.”

“The Wall” typically refers to the phenomenon where Toads of Mythic Body and above, every hundred years under suitable conditions and with adequate sacrifices, undergo ‘molting’ in a grotto. The perfectly molted Toad Clothes would fuse with the nearby stone walls.

By observing the Wall, one could comprehend the structure of a Mythic Body and take a step closer to the Mythical Field.

Wherever [Marlo.Big Mushroom], with his body covered in clusters of mushrooms, went, various kinds of mushrooms would grow on the damp streets and walls of Toad City.

In terms of strength as an Ancestor Body, he was not weak at all.

“Maritzis, let us take a look at your ‘Wall’ first,”

“Only then can we be reassured to transfer a portion of the usage rights of the Land Deed to you.”

Marlo addressed a woman with a Spotted Toad perched on her head, who was none other than the Lord of Toad City—Maritzis.

She then made an inviting gesture, “Please follow me… The Toad Chamber will certainly not disappoint you.

However, I also ask you to be mentally prepared.”

The three Lords had no particular apprehensions; they came to Toad City by normal invitation through a Messenger… If Maritzis intended to take advantage of their plight and set a trap for them within Toad City, she would incur the wrath of the Old Kings behind them.

They followed Maritzis to the innermost reaches of the Toad Palace.

The doors of the Toad Palace were crafted out of pure gold, its surface carved by the finest artisans of Toad City with the image of a Great Being in a state of ‘holy laziness,’ its body covered in black fur and a head resembling that of a terrifying Toad.

It was one of the poses of the Toad Ancestor.

Pushing open the golden doors, they reached the very depths accompanied by the profound, damp stone passageways.

And there, the most sacred “Wall Watching Area.”

The three Lords were struck dumb simultaneously.

They felt panic,

shock,

and disbelief,

all involuntarily or willingly falling to their knees in devout prostration, with their heads and palms pressed to the ground.

Between the cave walls covered in a layer of black Toad Skin, crouched a tremendous being radiating endless fatigue.

Half-asleep, its black visage slowly opened an eyelid resembling an Abyssal fissure.

Merely being gazed upon in its slumber, the three Lords who controlled ‘mid-sized Land Deeds’ as Ancestor Bodies were soaked through, as toads of various sizes wriggled out of their eyes, noses, mouths, and ears.

“Toad Ancestor!”

As Marlo.Big Mushroom spoke these words… he retched! A vast amount of mushrooms and juvenile toads spilled onto the ground.

Meanwhile, the Lord of Toad City—Maritzis—explained from the side.

“This is an incarnation of the Toad Ancestor manifesting due to the perfect sacrifice I provided. It’s molting inside my Toad Chamber… However, there is another reason for the Toad Ancestor’s advent.

It’s the large-scale movement of human knights.

This century’s molting of the Toad Ancestor requires high-ranking humans as [sacrifices].”

“Therefore, it bestowed me the ‘Stone of Moist Tumor’ to win this War.

If you three are willing to assist, granting me partial control of your Land Deeds… once we achieve victory in the war, acquiring enough human sacrifices to complete the molting process of the Great Master’s significant incarnation,

the Toad Ancestor will allow you to complete ‘Watching the Wall’ here.”

“The Toad Ancestor’s Wall!”

Without hesitation, and indeed without the possibility of hesitation,

all three Lords immediately agreed, signing the battle cooperation contract.
