MY CELL PRISON

Chapter 771: Chapter 771: Former Group Leader

The Underground City Street area where the [Terminal Knight Regiment] is located.

From the ground emerged a black vortex, slowly raising an old man with high bulges on his back illuminating multiple ghost faces. He leaned on a horrific and fresh skeleton staff.

As this person appeared, the aura of death in the street doubled.

All the Terminal Knights residing here stopped whatever they were doing, walked out of their bungalows, put their right hand on their chest, and bowed their heads in respect.

However, a large number of people’s eyes also flickered with some apprehension.

The newcomer was none other than Staven Mistermantor, the deputy regiment commander of the Terminal Knight Regiment… it seemed that he had not returned to the Knight Regiment for a long time.

Moreover, Staven’s other identity was quite peculiar, that is, the former regiment commander of the Terminal Knight Regiment.

Under normal circumstances.

When a regiment commander retires, he would do some core management work behind the scenes in the Holy City, such as serving as an honorary professor, vice-principal, or principal in the Royal Knight Regiment, responsible for nurturing successors or leaving a batch of experience and writings to guide future generations.

Or serving as a senior executive or inspector at the Knight Headquarters, assigning and formulating investigation tasks based on their own experience.

Even some strong individuals were invited to the council to serve as special judges.

Of course, some commanders had contributed too much to humanity and were stained with enough demon blood to fill a lake… After their retirement, they led a relatively peaceful life in the noble residential area of the Holy City.

If strange incidents happened in the residential area, they would naturally help handle them.

Staven’s case, stepping down from the regiment commander and immediately serving as the deputy commander, was absolutely unprecedented in the history of the Holy City’s development.

It was not a problem with the system, but a problem within the Terminal Knights Regiment and with Staven himself.

It was absurd for a dignified regiment commander to serve as a deputy to help the younger generation after stepping down.

Talking about this matter unavoidably involves the [Regiment Commander System], slightly different from other knight orders… the knights here touch on a rare and deadly death field.

This leads to a problem.

The Terminal Knights would have a deeper understanding of death as they age, in simple terms, they would get [stronger as they aged], and their lifespan was also much longer than that of other knights.

Therefore, the Terminal Knight Regiment was not suitable for the [Regiment Commander System]… particularly the ‘retirement issue when they start to decline after reaching a certain age’.

It is impossible to judge whether a regiment commander is at his peak based on age and tenure. It is possible that after a hundred years, this regiment commander has become stronger and will continue to grow stronger in the future.

But it is also possible that some younger members of the Terminal Knights Regiment grow at a faster rate and have a faster and higher understanding of death than the regiment commander.

Considering the future development of the Knight Regiment, about a hundred years ago.

The Terminal Knight Regiment applied to the council to establish a regiment commander system specifically suitable for them. After discussions in the council, a special regiment commander system – [Terminal Selection] was implemented.

Every five years.

They will objectively select five knights who have reached the elite level according to the personal files of the Terminal Knights to duel with the regiment commander, with two conditions to be met.

1. The duel referee must be a special agent from the council,

2. More than 2/3 of the Terminal Knights must be present to watch the duel.

If the dueling Terminal Knight can defeat the regiment commander, he can take his place.

But.

Those who occupy the regiment commander position are naturally powerful individuals who have reached the ‘commander threshold’ of the Thirteen Knight Orders.

As time goes by, the force of death keeps increasing.

Moreover, the authority of a regiment commander can also bring more resources for self-improvement, and defeating a regiment commander is extremely difficult.

As such.

[Skull Maker – Staven Mistermantor] served as the overall regiment commander of the Terminal Knight Regiment for 53 years.

Because of his peculiar temperament, extremely strict management methods, and practicing the quite sinister arcane method of death spirit, he was privately referred to as the [Skeleton Demon King], and was a figure greatly feared within the Knight Regiment.

Until several decades ago.

Two geniuses emerged at the Knight Tournament.

In an almost crushing manner, they defeated the knights of their generation.

Subsequently, they put on a battle of the century in the Coliseum that surpassed the standards of their peers.

In the end, it was Marlon who unbelievably dealt a powerful execution, pushing Alex into a deathtrap. Ironically, Alex achieved a breakthrough in the death field on the spot, turning the tables with a counter victory.

Having joined the Terminal Knight Regiment as the first candidate, Alex accumulated an exaggerated war record and a dazzling array of battle stories in the following years. In the eighth year, the council chose him as the “Leadership Challenger”.

Under the supervision of senior councillor Francis, and in the watchful gaze of the entire Terminal Knight Regiment.

Alex defeated Staven head-on, marking an end to an era.

It was rumored that Staven and Alex were not in great terms. The council considered this carefully and even had a one-on-one talk with Staven.

However, Staven clearly stated that he did not mind.

He even wanted to remain with the regiment as the vice-captain after stepping down. After all, his power had not declined, it was just that Alex was a bit stronger.

After this, the council often sent people to covertly monitor Staven’s actions, ready to intervene at any sign of conflict between the two.

Who would’ve thought.

Instead of causing trouble, Staven not only did his duties diligently but also made an effort to help Alex manage affairs. He even voluntarily took up the post of the warden in Tar Prison to give Alex more time for practice.

As Staven stepped into the headquarters building of the Knight Regiment.

Alex personally received him, letting down his black cloak on the 2nd floor.

“Teacher… Why are you here?”

The term “teacher” started to be used after Alex became the leader when the two jointly discussed the topic of “Chaos”.

The young Alex then, despite being able to explore Chaos with his talents and abilities, knew nothing about what was inside it.

Staven had already probed into the Chaos for many years and had taught Alex everything he saw and learned, without any reservations.

In this way, they established a peculiar teacher-student relationship.

Who would’ve thought.

When Staven visited Alex, he directly hit Alex in the head with a stick, not holding back at all, even though there were other knights in the hall.

“Are you afraid of losing your captain’s position, so you deliberately failed to recruit the Number one in this year’s Knight Election – Valen Nicholas?”

Alex, who just got hit with the stick, didn’t get angry, but immediately replied, “Nicholas? I did a lot of ideological work for him in advance. Marlon is also competing with me, and I even privately granted him the privilege of a free person.

Who knew, Captain Hugo still managed to outsmart me.”

“Hugo…indeed… Anything that can attract this monster, he will go to all lengths to obtain it.

It’s a pity that I was in seclusion recently, otherwise, I would’ve definitely helped you get this student.”

Alex continued to ask, “Although the kid is special, he’s not yet a threat to me… Teacher, you suddenly mentioned Nicholas, did something happened ‘below’?”

“This guy killed Marysia in the mansion right when he arrived, unaffected by any pollution, pressure, or the influence of the death field.

If you let him go on like this, he may disrupt the balance of the Chaos District. It depends on how you’re going to arrange it.”

“With his current abilities, he shouldn’t be able to kill [Flesh Flower – Marysia], right? Teacher, do you have the video?”

“See for yourself.”

A drop of Chaos Pool Water flowed from the end of the wand.

When it landed on the ground, it instantly displayed the combat scene that took place in the ‘Flesh Soup’.
