122: Revenge

"Why are you coming to trouble me?" Han Fei asked sharply, getting straight to the point.

Du Tiger replied blankly, "Because I felt that you, an impostor, were too perfunctory in your attitude towards me, so I decided to give you a memorable lesson."

Han Fei was amused, "I am the child of prophecy, do you dare touch me?"

"You only have a one-in-a-billion chance of being the child of prophecy. As long as I don't cause you too severe an injury, the higher-ups will at most just reprimand me," Du Tiger blurted out his true thoughts.

These words made Han Fei's expression gradually turn solemn, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the surrounding atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

A one-in-a-billion chance was practically saying he was an impostor.

"How did you calculate this probability?" Han Fei asked curiously.

A trace of struggle flashed across Du Tiger's face, as if he was unwilling to answer the question.

But soon, this struggle was replaced by a wooden expression, and he answered mechanically, "A Guest Elder from our Du Family said so."

"And you just believe him?"

A hint of disdainful smile hung on Han Fei's lips as he gently shook his head, seemingly finding the Du Family's blind trust laughable.

Du Tiger nodded dully again, the light in his eyes flickering, as if struggling with a memory.

"We... we all firmly believe him, because he is..."

Before he could finish, Du Tiger suddenly seemed to have his throat choked, his words abruptly stopping, and he fell into a silent stalemate.

"What is he?"

Han Fei keenly caught this anomaly, his tone becoming urgent, his gaze like a torch, staring intently at Du Tiger, as if trying to find the answer on his face.

"He, he..."

Du Tiger repeated the words, but couldn't utter the rest, the pain and struggle on his face becoming increasingly obvious.

Seeing this, Han Fei immediately understood that Du Tiger was clearly bound by some powerful Restriction.

Once he tried to reveal the identity of that mysterious Guest Elder, the Restriction would activate, preventing the information from leaking.

Han Fei tried to use Super-Tier Magic to remove the Restriction, but found that the Restriction's power far exceeded his imagination, completely beyond what his current abilities could shake.

Facing this insurmountable obstacle, Han Fei sighed helplessly, deciding to temporarily give up on this question.

To uncover the secret behind this, he would need to find another way.

"You mentioned earlier that you had an urgent mission for me to help with. What exactly is it?" Han Fei asked.

"We were ordered to Tianhe City to capture fully formed Garbage Monsters, and we need your superpower to suppress the Garbage Monster's dark mist ability," Du Tiger replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Han Fei couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you capturing fully formed Garbage Monsters? For research?"

Du Tiger shook his head and said, "To be absorbed by our Du Family's child of prophecy."

Hearing this, Han Fei was momentarily stunned.

"C-Rank Experts helping to capture fully formed Garbage Monsters?"

"This treatment..."

It was impossible for Han Fei not to envy it.

If he had such treatment, he might have already advanced to K4.

Thinking of this, Han Fei quickly asked, "What rank is he now?"

"K3."

Du Tiger's answer made Han Fei sigh in relief.

"Only K3, huh? It seems my progress isn't too slow either."

Thinking that he was only one fully formed Garbage Monster away from advancing to K4.

Han Fei immediately asked, "How many fully formed Garbage Monsters have you captured so far?"

"23," Du Tiger answered honestly.

"Quite a lot," Han Fei couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Since the Du Family dared to offend him, he would just have to retaliate.

"Where are the Garbage Monsters you've captured now?"

Han Fei tried to suppress his inner excitement, but his voice trembled slightly with anticipation.

After a moment of struggle, Du Tiger slowly said, "In Sister Ying's pocket prison."

"Where is she now?"

This question made Du Tiger's face show pain, unwilling to answer.

Seeing this, Han Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and intensified his mental control, forcing Du Tiger to speak, "She... she is at... Tianhe City's Seventh Garbage Disposal Plant."

"Also in Tianhe City, that's quite close."

A cruel smile formed on Han Fei's lips.

Then, he picked up Du Tiger, like a helpless chick, and said coldly, "Lead the way for me. We'll go find her together."

...Seventh Garbage Disposal Plant.

A forgotten ruin in Tianhe City.

At this moment, a raging sea of fire spread across every inch of the landfill.

Thick black smoke rose into the sky, blotting out the sun and devouring the daylight, as if night had been forcibly pulled over the world.

In the center of this sea of fire, Du Hongying stood firm.

Her figure, illuminated by the flames, appeared exceptionally tall and straight, like an artist performing a final masterpiece in a post-apocalyptic ruin.

Her hands elegantly sliced through the air, seemingly conducting a magnificent symphony of flames.

The flames obeyed her will, gaining their own Soul.

They leaped, rolled, and roared, devouring the surrounding garbage and reducing it to ashes.

The target of the sea of fire was the seven ugly behemoths standing in its midst—the fully formed Garbage Monsters.

They were monsters formed from countless discarded items, with massive bodies, various garbage fragments adhering to their skin, and an ominous glow emanating from them.

Facing such terrifying existences, Du Hongying's strength was displayed to its fullest.

The flames she controlled were like a divine punishment from the heavens, firmly suppressing the monsters, leaving them unable to move, only able to struggle in despair.

At the same time, Du He drove several high-tech mechs, circling the Garbage Monsters, performing the task of Sealing.

His operation was meticulous and cautious; every movement of the mech was precisely calculated, because any slight error could lead to the Garbage Monster instantly turning to dust, or transforming into difficult-to-capture smaller forms.

After spending two or three minutes successfully Sealing one fully formed Garbage Monster, Du He couldn't help but look up at the sky and complain, "Why isn't that Du Tiger guy back yet?"

Du Hongying said nothing, but her tightly furrowed brows and the deepening gloom on her face silently spoke of her dissatisfaction.

Du He keenly noticed this and quickly spoke, trying to ease the tension, "Sister Ying, I'll contact Du Tiger immediately to see if he's run into any trouble. He must have a reason."

Du Hongying responded with a cold snort.

The flames above her head suddenly intensified, even distorting space itself.

Du He knew that Du Hongying was in a state of extreme anger.

He thought that if Du Tiger couldn't give Du Hongying a satisfactory answer later, he would surely suffer a lot.

"Strange, why can't I reach him?"

A hint of unease arose in Du He's heart as his fingers repeatedly pressed the communicator, trying encrypted channels, emergency calls, and even the most primitive shortwave frequencies, but all that responded was a cold electronic female voice indicating connection failure.

This unprecedented loss of contact made his brows furrow, and his confusion and worry intertwined into an invisible net.

Before he could sort out the sudden confusion, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"She is Sister Ying."

Hearing this very familiar, yet somewhat off voice, Du He and Du Hongying almost simultaneously turned around, their gazes like lightning, instantly locking onto the direction from which the voice came.

The next moment, both their eyes widened, reflecting an unbelievable sight.

In mid-air, Du Tiger was held casually in a young man's hand, like a dead dog.

The young man's face, in the afterglow of the setting sun, appeared exceptionally clear.

That impostor in Tianhe City.

Du Hongying and Du He were both quick-witted individuals.

Seeing the situation before them, they quickly pieced together the general outline of events.

Du Tiger went to settle scores with Han Fei, but unexpectedly fell into his trap, or for other unknown reasons, ultimately becoming Han Fei's captive.

Then the other party brought Du Tiger to them.

As for whether the other party came to demand an explanation or to negotiate terms for a ransom, it didn't matter to Du Hongying.

Because in her opinion, the other party came to die.

She, Du Hongying, never negotiated terms with enemies!

Before Han Fei could speak, Du Hongying's fury roared out.

She flicked her fingertips, and an invisible string seemed to be plucked in the air; the surrounding flames heard the silent command.

Immediately, like awakened Dragons, they surged, transforming into towering waves of fire, rushing towards Han Fei's location.

The intensity of the fire was like a volcanic eruption, dyeing the heavens and earth with a scorching red hue.

The air was filled with a scent of scorching and destruction, and the momentum was so vast that it seemed to devour everything in this sea of fire!

Various Spell settings, not related to the plot, can be skipped.

Tier 2 Spell

Description: Tier 2 Spells are a bit more complex than Tier 1 Spells, typically used to enhance one's abilities or interfere with enemies. These Spells play a more significant role in both combat and daily life. They require more magical power and higher casting skills, but their effects are also more powerful and lasting.

Examples:

1.

Invisibility Spell Effect Description: The Invisibility Spell can make the caster or target invisible for a short period. The caster needs to focus on reciting a complex incantation, and the target will gradually become transparent, eventually becoming completely invisible. The Invisibility Spell usually lasts for a few minutes, but it will immediately fail if the target attacks or casts a Spell. The Invisibility Spell is very useful for stealth, reconnaissance, or evading enemies, but it should be noted that the target will still leave sounds and smells while invisible.

2.

Heal Moderate Wounds Effect Description: This Spell can restore moderate injuries to the target, healing more health. The caster places both hands on the target's wound and recites an incantation, and a warm glow emanates from their hands, rapidly healing deeper wounds. Heal Moderate Wounds is very effective after combat or when treating seriously injured individuals, significantly increasing the target's survival chances.

3.

Fireball Spell Effect Description: Fireball Spell is a powerful offensive Spell. The caster condenses a ball of flame in their palm and then hurls it. The fireball will explode upon contact with the target, causing moderate damage and potentially igniting a burning effect. Fireball Spell is very effective against groups of enemies or for destroying obstacles, but attention should be paid to casting accuracy and the safety of the surrounding environment.

4.

Strengthen Power Effect Description: Strengthen Power can temporarily enhance the target's Strength attribute, boosting combat power. The caster, by reciting an incantation, injects magical energy into the target's body, causing their muscles to swell and their strength to greatly increase. This effect usually lasts for a few minutes and can provide the target with a powerful melee advantage in combat, allowing them to lift heavy objects or destroy obstacles.

5.

Sonic Blast Effect Description: Sonic Blast can emit powerful sound waves, dealing damage to enemies in an area and causing them to experience ringing in their ears. The caster concentrates and, through incantations and gestures, releases an invisible sonic shockwave that vibrates molecules in the air, causing both physical and mental damage to targets. This Spell is very effective for controlling enemy movements and disrupting enemy formations.

6.

Spider Climb Effect Description: Spider Climb allows the target to walk on walls and ceilings like a spider. The caster, by touching the target and reciting an incantation, bestows upon them spider-like adhesive abilities. This Spell lasts for a longer duration and is suitable for exploring hard-to-reach areas or escaping enemy pursuit. Spider Climb is also commonly used for reconnaissance and surprise attacks within buildings.

7.

Telepathy Effect Description: Telepathy allows the caster to communicate telepathically with a specific target, without the need for verbal communication. The caster needs to establish eye contact with the target, then, by concentrating and reciting an incantation, open a mental channel. This Spell is suitable for transmitting information in secret missions or for silent communication in noisy environments. The range of telepathy is limited, typically effective within several hundred meters.

8.

Energy Protection Effect Description: Energy Protection can reduce the target's damage from specific types of energy, such as fire, frost, or electricity. The caster, by reciting an incantation, generates a magical shield that covers the target's body. This shield can absorb and resist damage from specific energies, making the target safer when facing elemental attacks. Energy Protection is especially important when combating elemental creatures or Spell attacks.

9.

Mirror Image Effect Description: Mirror Image can create multiple illusions of the caster to confuse enemies. The caster, through complex incantations and gestures, generates several illusions that are identical to themselves, and these illusions will move with the caster's actions. Enemies find it difficult to distinguish the real caster, thereby dispersing their attack targets. Mirror Image can significantly increase survival chances in combat.

10.

Magic Lock Effect Description: Magic Lock applies a magical lock to a door or chest that can only be opened with a specific magical key or aRelease Spell. The caster needs to touch the target and recite an incantation, forming an invisible magical barrier that locks the target. Magic Lock can effectively prevent unauthorized personnel from entering or accessing items, suitable for protecting important documents, treasures, or private spaces.

11.

Lesser Elemental Control Effect Description: Lesser Elemental Control allows the caster to manipulate small natural elements within a certain range, such as fire, water flow, wind, and earth. The caster, by concentrating and reciting an incantation, can control the form and movement of these elements. For example, they can make fire larger or smaller, change the direction of water flow, generate a strong gust of wind, or make earth form simple shapes. This Spell can be used for attack or defense in combat, such as burning enemies with fire, repelling enemies with water flow, blowing away enemy weapons with wind, or forming barriers with earth. Lesser Elemental Control can also be used in daily life for watering plants, cleaning the environment, or creating simple soil sculptures.
