Han Dong, who had just emptied the ancient treasury and walked up through the secret passage, was startled by the [Butler] who found him.
"Upper body": Composed of thousands of skull heads, connected by mucus, hair, and maggots, covered by a large grey canvas... Overall presenting an irregularly shaped large sphere.
"Lower body": Only two slender, withered, human-like legs covered with rot.
An additional arm formed of a giant tumor extends from the cloak, supporting a special staff made of spiraling spine bones.
Besides the aura of Impurity emitted around it, the butler also exudes a sense of [Pure Death].
the butler immediately directed its attention onto Han Dong, emitting a mismatched tune from different skull heads, making one’s scalp tingle.
"Death~ your death is special, mixed with many types.
The sand of Mi University, the shadow of Crow mountain, and a feeling I’ve yet to touch.. come with me~ the banquet has started, His Excellency the Ancestral Demon has already arrived."
Han Dong and Kite follow behind the butler, returning upwards along a path to the [Source Cave].
Despite the extreme asymmetry of the butler, it swiftly moves through the uneven cave,
the slender legs easily support the mass of thousands of heads,
the staff seems more like a decorative piece or an aggressive tool used for suppressing anomalies.
Han Dong continuously focuses on the butler, concerned about its image,
Although the structure fits perfectly with the demon, and the skulls overflow with chaotic source liquid... yet the body composition is quite ’humanized’.
Whether it’s the skulls of the upper body,
or the legs of the lower body, both belong to human skeletons; each skull is a typical skull rather than a demon skull.
『Kite, is this butler also a local Impurity from your place? Can you tell me more about it?』
『The head butler of the Source Cave. Frostlas.
I know some information about it, learned incidentally during a conversation with my father, it’s not a pure Impurity...
But a special existence created by my father through a transformation ceremony.
Being created personally by my father, he fully trusts it and gave it the identity of ’head butler’.
In this planet, its power is only second to my father.』
『An existence created by the Ancestral Demon...』
Han Dong recalls his visit in the underground kingdom,
found no traces of past human skeletons,
linking the appearance of the head butler and the explanation from Kite,
he immediately has a highly reliable guess.
Frostlas’ ’composition’ is made of all the remnants of humans who lived in the ancient kingdom, most likely the skilled Forbidden Army and direct members of the Royal Family.
Han Dong becomes even more curious about the story behind the planet and the Impurity... he plans to uncover the answers during the banquet.
Not yet arrived, Han Dong already smells an extremely pungent odor,
thinking that this coronation feast must be extraordinary,
extreme traits likely comparable to the "Extreme Feast" of Mad Abyss, but here the extremes tend towards stench, filth, etc., attributes difficult for ordinary creatures to accept.
As the mucus door opens,
the internal structure of the banquet hall is revealed, the dining tables adopt a multi-layer ring structure, totaling five layers, conically standing in the cave’s center (somewhat like a layered cake).
The top layer is a small round table, can accommodate up to five people.
The bottom large ring table can sit at least two hundred people inside and out.
Obviously, from low to high corresponds to different social levels of the guests... such obvious hierarchy doesn’t make guests unhappy.
Even the lower the seating, the more excited and joyful the guests appear through their twisted faces.
Importantly, aside from Han Dong and Walter, all attendees are locals.
While W. Walter sits with the Ancestral Demon at the very top small round table,
although both remain expressionless and silent, changes in their eyes indicate some form of conscious communication.
Seeing the two significant figures not clashing, Han Dong is very relieved.
At this moment, the butler points its staff to the top:
"Please use your respective means to seat at the ’Upper Guest Seat’, during the banquet be sure to follow the arrangements of the Ancestral Demon lord, do not leave your seat randomly."
As Kite compresses his lower body, preparing to jump into the seat, Han Dong gently places a hand on his shoulder.
A technique combining Black Whirlpool and Void, teleporting himself and Kite to different seats while maintaining the friendly ’shoulder-tap’ position.
Such move is surely seen by the Ancestral Demon, slightly hinting a satisfied look.
Han Dong notices the two seniors engaging in ’Communication with Divine Knowledge’, not interrupting further.
Focuses on the unique banquet, quickly notices the special design of the banquet round table and seats.
"Hmm, why does it feel like sitting on a toilet?"
Both the round table in front and the seat below,
are centrally designed as [Funnel-shaped].
Connects to the next layer of dining table through flexible and firm meat conduits with squeezing function.
The funnel structure between round tables makes sense,
some leftover food can be poured into providing for the second layer of guests, if they can’t finish, then passed down to the third layer...
Such successive feeding will eliminate waste of food.
the funnel structure set between the seats feels bizarre, gives a sense of sitting on a toilet, similarly connected to conduits leading to lower tables.
Some guests have already taken out their own straws, inserted into the upper end extending conduits, ensuring that once something flows down they can taste it immediately.
"Oh crap, wouldn’t it!?"
A flash of inspiration in his mind,
as Han Dong comprehends the design, his concept of "eating" and "saving" undergoes a completely new understanding...
This is the true meaning of conserving food, maximizing utilization of food resources, and even yielding essence from the strong.
Extremely sumptuous ’dishes’ for the Impurity, floods from top tumors, abundantly filling the top layer round table where Han Dong and the others are seated.
Needs to be measured in tons,
The Ancestral Demon maintains fine eating etiquette,
still upholds a handsome human form, drawing a thin film from within, inserting a hand into this heap, performing ’suitable sucking’.
Kite’s eating manner is more open,
while the body remains still, neck extends several times, burying entire head within,
besides the mouth, eye sockets, nostrils, and ears all partake in eating, seemingly he hasn’t tasted such a delicious meal for long.
Due to efficient inner circulation, consumed items almost simultaneously expelled, flowing through the funnels between seats to the lower level.
For such ’gifts’, the lower diners have awaited eagerly, each twisting with excitement.
They even contest and rival over direct gifts from the Ancestral Demon or Kite, such an opportunity possibly won’t occur in a century, eligible elders and generals on the second layer indulge themselves completely. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Though, thinking alternatively,
food processed through Impurity digestion resembles filtration, rather becoming clean and hygienic, considering this way, it’s quite decent indeed.
After a voracious feast, Kite finds Han Dong sitting in position somewhat dazed.
A mouth suitable for vocalization grows from his back, sincerely asks, "Nicholas~ all the dishes are here, why not eat?"
"You eat first, you eat first, I’ll start soon."
