Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Enemies all around, confidence booming within... It was barely a second since her feet were held stiff.

Old madam Ghu's senses heightened as time seemed frozen still.

1...

The nearby creepy branches fluttered in slow motion, all surrounding sounds seemed to mellow down, too slow to be fully captured, as though she were in some blockbuster movie.

2...

The golems ran in slow motion, and her hands reached for her pockets.

3...

Could it be that she had the power to stop time?

No! It was all Old Madam Ghu's head. There was no slow-motion but fast thinking instead.

facade of imagina

Growl!!!

The scene of the tiny human about to be crushed by 20 giant Golems in mid-air was enough to make many movie directors sure Old Madam Ghu would have her brains and body crushed into paste.

Even the lead golem hidden away in the surrounding couldn't help revealing a confident smirk.

'Human... This is what you get for angering me. Now feel absolute fear before your moments of death and become food for us all. Before you're crushed, my hands will suck out your fear. Your soul will change, and your being will be our food!'

Now die... Die for me!

Boom!!!!

The lead golem smiled victoriously.

"Hahahahaha~... How dare you, a mere human, try to attack my minions?"

This is what such a hateful human deserves.

Hmph!

The Golem sneered in disdain but soon found his gleeful mood short-lived.

"You, you, you, you... Impossible!"

How can this human still be alive?

The attack landed just as the lead Collin predicted.

The rumble was deafening and the force powerful.

It still felt his control of the human's feet was still intact. Meaning the bastard witch definitely hadn't broken free.

.

Hahahahaha~

It expected the only human parts not crushed by its minions should be the legs it was holding, from the knees downwards.

The lead sand golem had a face of confidence, watching the scene clearly settle down.

But soon, its smile froze, quickly turning to disbelief.

No! No! No!

Impossible.

How can this human survive?

Old madam Ghu smiled, seeing the concave ice shield she conjured up to be effective. And to boost the shield's strength, she also pasted a talisman from the Grandmaster to strengthen it too.

Huh.

Depending on her strength alone wouldn't be enough to take them down. So why not add a little cheat to the mix?

"Hedgehog shield!!"

Ptchui!!!

The golems had barely touched the shield when massive ice spikes pierced through their beings.

But Old madam Ghu wasn't done yet.

"Darting Ice Arrows!"

"Tempest Chill!!"

Bam! Bam! Bam! Boom!!~

Old madam Ghu noticed the lead golem's daze had weakened its control on her feet. And with a few maneuvers, she was finally free.

Jump, roll, twist, shoot!

Old madam Ghu gave it her all, also taking Energy recovery pills made by the Grandmaster himself for her cultivation rank.

She knew killing these lesser golems wouldn't be the real issue at hand, but for the boss golem… it was hard to say.

She knew the evil feign would find an opportunity to strike her when she least expected it. So taking this pill would replenish and give her some energy for the fight ahead.

And sure enough, the big guy finally released himself.

Boom! f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

She rolled away in time only to see a golem twice the size of the others emerge.

If her stupid grandson were here, he would call this the first-final boss.

'No matter... I think I've got a good handle on my techniques now.'

Growl!!

The big sand man finally stepped out, and Old madam Ghu knew she wouldn't only be dealing with it alone but also the surviving golems too.

"Elder Hina!"

A voice called out.

It was Elder Mia, old madam Ghu's partner whom the Grandmaster had paired her with.

On their way here, they spotted several strange shadows. Thus, they decided to split up and investigate things separately before meeting up again.

Mia held her see-through Kendo sword, standing back to back with Old madam Ghu. "Elder Hina! Let's finish them together."

"Right!... Icy Palm!"

"Wind Serpent!"

Fight! Fight! Fight!

.

Like so, both ladies began their deadly battle. But in the forest's depths, a dark hunched figure opened its grim, menacing eyes.

And just at the moment when it reacted, Dorian, far away, narrowed his eyes profoundly.

[Head for the center.]

His instructions once again invaded the minds of all sect elders.

As for himself, he had already taken care of all underworld beings within the ship, rescuing any survivors they met along the way.

He left no corner unturned, scouring the ship in little time.

But how did he do it?

Paper men.

His army of paper men were quick to act, sitting up and covering as much ground as they could. To say the rest weren't shocked would be a lie.

Phuck!

One minute they saw the Grandmaster take out several pieces of his usual strange papers. And with a simple tap, these papers not only grew to human size but also filled up too!

Old man Bho's eyeballs were nearly forced out of their sockets with the way he was staring at the paper men.

"Hello?... Can you speak?"

"..."

The silent paper men didn't react even after being poked by the funny old man. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

They broke apart from Dorian's gang, eliminating every evil entity they met.

Destroy... Kill… Eliminate.

The paper men worked like machines with Dorian's will in mind.

And by the time Dorian led the gang off the ship after destroying every enemy and reassuring all survivors, the paper men were also behind, bringing out the survivors they spotted.

Alright. In they go.

Everyone watched Dorian dunk the shrunken survivors in his floating box, opening their mouths but not saying a thing.

(!_!)

'... Grandmaster, you do realize these are humans and not baskets of small squishy toys, right?'

Everyone was still speechless at the Grandmaster's actions when suddenly, a strange hole opened on the ground.

And soon, their expressions turned horrid.

"Young master Bho!"

"Kha Ming!!!"

"Ahhhhhhh~~~~"

Vanished…

Bho Jin and another Navy officer had vanished.
