Chapter 69: The Demon Wolf and the Dragon
Stephen Hample, a very suave "delicate" man with two neatly trimmed mustaches and charming dark brown eyes.
Ostensibly a furniture merchant, he is in fact the convener of a psychological seminar and an important member of the secret organization "Psychological Alchemy", and a direct subordinate of the Supreme Council member "Arrogant".
But after the real "arrogance" was completely controlled by the "utopian dragon" Angleweed, and the "virtual personality" was implanted, Stephen was actually deeply "hypnotized", worshipping the new "arrogance" as a god, and he could even give his life for his "Lord".
Of course, he didn't know that something had changed in him, he just took it for granted.
This time, he was ordered to come to the small town of Cabas, and his mission was to recite the name of a great being in ancient Hermes when a corresponding change occurred in a occult book he carried with him, and to stimulate the "secret agreement" ritual that had been prepared in the book for a long time.
And just after Professor Mosart's student had an emotional breakdown and "created" a large number of monsters, Stephen clearly felt the corresponding change in the book in his hand, so he immediately followed the instructions of the "Lord" to pronounce the honorific name that belonged to the "Hidden Sage".
But at this time, an accident happened, Stephen was so excited that he didn't even finish the first word, and he bit his tongue!
And because of the excessive force, the entire front half of his tongue was bitten off by him, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
But the slightest pain could not shake his determination to complete the task of the "Lord", and he picked up a glass of cold ale on the table and poured it into his mouth, trying to numb his tongue with cold and alcohol so that he could finish the rest of the words.
But the accident happened again, and the glass full of ale wine exploded the moment he brought it to his mouth because of the "ice".
Countless shards of glass plunged into Stephen's mouth, throat, and even stomach...... He couldn't bear the intense pain anymore and screamed.
And then, a picture with a very comedic effect was born-
I saw that Stephen threw away the remaining glass in his hand directly because of the pain, but he didn't expect that the sharp corner of the glass would pass through the gap between his leather shoes impartially and have a close contact with the surface of his feet!
Because of this, he cried out again, and because of the injury to his foot, in order to stabilize his body, he hurriedly used his hand to support the table, and as a result, a fork that was not properly placed penetrated his palm as a matter of course!
Another sharp pain made him take a few steps back, but he tripped over the leg of his chair and fell backwards to the ground, his head colliding with a nail standing up on the floor.
Fortunately, this time, Stephen finally woke up from a series of accidents, and used "dragon scales" at a critical moment to create a layer of "scales" on the surface of the back of his head, which resisted and weakened the damage from the nails to a greater extent, so that he did not die on the spot.
But even so, he was a little dizzy and didn't get up for half a day.
The others watched Mr. Stephen's series of "wonderful" performances, and they were all stunned, and for a moment they didn't even bother to pay attention to the monster around the male student.
However, those monsters that are becoming more and more "real" and more and more capable of action are obviously unwilling to leave the scene easily, and one of them, whose head is like a giant python and whose body is like a feline, saw that Professor Mossal's "Flame of Light" was about to burn, and immediately spewed a large amount of corrosive venom at the student without hesitation.
Seeing that there was no urgency for rescue, Professor Mosal took out a second magical item, a small camera.
He lifted his camera as fast as he could, and took a picture of his students.
As the flash lights on, the students who were sprayed with acid were unharmed, but the film in the camera corroded at the same time, turning into a puddle of green liquid.
- This "camera" created a "paper man double" for the student at a critical moment, and took all the damage.
But although the student escaped, Stephen, who had just gotten up from the severe pain, was not so lucky, and some of the acid that crossed the student "flew" into his open mouth again, blocking the second paragraph of the honorific name.
"This ...... That's too miserable, isn't it? Elizabeth, who had noticed what had happened to Mr. Stephen from the very beginning, covered her mouth and couldn't believe that anyone could be so unlucky.
The corners of Daxter's mouth twitched, and he decided that he must stay away from this person in the future! The more you come into contact with the "unfortunate" person, the more "unlucky" you will become...... Here are some of the lessons he learned from his previous experience in the city of Tingen.
After dealing with the threats around the students and giving them some "courage", Professor Mosaka also set his sights on Stephen.
He naturally knew that the other party's current state was definitely abnormal, as if he had triggered some "curse"......
With this in mind, Professor Mosaka was going to use the pipe-shaped magical item to "purify" it and see if it had any effect.
But at this moment, the two people who were closer to Stephen, one Wallace's "Chaos Mentor" bodyguard, and one of his henchmen, suddenly "went crazy", each took out the revolver and shot each other's heads six times in a row, and fell in a pool of blood in an instant.
At the same time, scales began to climb on Stephen's body!
This sudden change not only frightened the ordinary people in the bar hall, but even Professor Mosaka's heart was full of shock, and he couldn't help but stop the action of "purification".
"He's going to get out of control? But how can a 'middle sequence' lose control, how can there be such a powerful force? Professor Mosaka looked at it a little and said with an ugly face.
Naturally, the loss of control of the ordinary sequence will not be so powerful...... But Stephen's situation is different, as the follower of the "Fantasy Dragon", he should now have taken over the power left in his body by the old dragon, and wanted to use it to complete the task.
In fact, the "frenzy" released by Stephen just now covered the entire bar, but except for Wallace's bodyguard and the henchman, the rest of the people were secretly "protected" by Abner, so there was nothing wrong.
And the reason why Abner didn't protect those two people was because through the investigation of the "Magic Mirror", he already knew that those two guys had done many crimes that should be "humanely destroyed" with the help of the "Wallace" family's power in Stone, and now it was "merciful" to let them die without trial.
As for Wallace's other two retinues, they had not done much evil, so Abner let them go for the time being.
"His mutation is very strange, it may be that he touched the 'taboo' in the town when he was free before......"
And that taboo is...... I!
Abner was talking nonsense, but his words caused Professor Mosaka to nod his head in agreement, and after glancing worriedly at Stephen, who was gradually transforming into a monster like a "dragon", he asked, "Mr. Wallace, you should have something else to prepare, right?" ”
"Yes...... But I'm not ready to show myself before you......" Abner said, looking around for a moment, before continuing, "So, you'd better retreat to the night church in town, which is the safest place at the moment. ”
Professor Mosaka did not hesitate to respond. He didn't bother to find out what Wallace was trying to do, beckoned his students and Mr. Daxter, and ran out of the bar. Abner gave orders to the remaining two followers to follow.
After receiving the young master's order, the two not very loyal entourage, after expressing their gratitude, immediately caught up with the group that was leaving quickly.
Of the people who went to church, only Elizabeth looked back worriedly, blaming herself for her uselessness.
After everyone left the bar, Abner first picked up the "Chaos Mentor" trait from the bodyguards, and then carefully examined Stephen's alienated monster that resembled a "dragon".
"The essence is extremely high! Not even inferior to a complete mythical creature...... It's so much better than the incomplete mythical creatures I can 'mimic'! ”
Abner sighed, this was the main reason why he hadn't attacked before, because it didn't work.
After all, the other party already has a trace of authority in his body...... And authority, only authority can be opposed!
"But here's a nightmare! It is the realm of the goddess...... And I happen to have a black gem from the Goddess...... So, you can only be considered unlucky! ”
Thinking of this, Abner sensed the position of the rest of the people and confirmed that they had all entered the church, and then while communicating the power of the "black gem" on his chest, he opened the "Pure White Eye" and prepared to simulate the mythical form of the "Feathered Serpent" and launch an attack on the dragon-like monster that had not yet finished its metamorphosis.
After all, he had seen the power of the "Feathered Serpent" once in the "Night Country", and the "Death" path and the power of the goddess were also better, so he might be able to get the blessing of the goddess and make the "Flame of Death" stronger.
But just as he was about to perform the "mimicry", he suddenly noticed that the black gem on his chest turned into a female figure with the smell of night vanilla, deep sleep flower and "Daniel hydrosol".
The figure wore a veil and a dress freshly wrapped in black light, her movements were sluggish at first, but soon became agile, and she embraced Abner from the front, merging into his body in a matter of seconds.
The next moment, Abner only felt that countless knowledge about the "Demon Wolf" had filled his mind, and Chen had been placed on the bookshelf of the mutilated "White Tower...... And his body was not controlled, and he "mimicked" according to that knowledge, turning into an eight-legged "Demon Wolf of Destruction".
At the same time, the strange "dragon" that had been alienated not far away also opened a pair of blood-colored vertical eyes.
The wolf and the dragon, ancient mythical creatures, confronted each other again at this moment......
It's like stepping back in time to the distant Second Age!
