"Gallaher, give us a little more oil and water this time."

"Shut up and see how much you get."

Gallaher led two teams of twenty tower legionnaires in the direction of the slums.

His face is not very good-looking.

Because, he has confirmed the news-

"Marton, are you sure you don't have the breath of a dragon?"

The object of his questioning was beside him, a man wearing leather armor, with some faint marks of scales on his body, and his palms were like fingers.

Dragon's Blood Mage.

A dragon-blooded mage who can sense the aura of dragons.

He rushed to the tavern with his team, only to be told by the dragon-blooded mage that he had no sense of the dragon's life force at all.

The adventurers he questioned also told him who the drunkard who behaved rather unnaturally was "afraid......

The result is two traveling merchants?

Dragon's blood potions and dragon's blood materials are valuable things, and Gallaher's purpose is not entirely for money, but more to enhance his strength.

The net worth of these two traveling merchants is not very big, and besides, he has to share it with a bunch of people, and he can get his hands on it, just a little.

If it were normal, he wouldn't attack this kind of little wanderer at all.

"The drunkard...... The next time I see him, I'm going to kill him. ”

Gallaher cursed under his breath, the long knife in his hand slamming into the drunkard's head.

Unlike the Legionnaires of the Tower who understood the situation and were just snickering, the Dragonblood Mage just glanced at him:

"That traveling merchant named Borud has been to the Dragon's Lair Country, maybe there are dragon beast materials, you still have a chance."

Hearing this, Gallaher's eyes lit up, and his steps quickened a little:

"Hurry up! Don't let them run! I'll watch you guys, don't think about splitting the money if you don't make a difference. ”

"Squadron leader, then you have to see clearly, I must be the most contributing!"

"No, I'm definitely the one who will do the most!"

The legionnaires of the Tower, more or less tainted with the habit of adventurers, completely treated the two wandering merchants as meat to be slaughtered.

A team of twenty men, led by Gallaher, entered the slums of Tiranto.

Merely......

The slums are eerily quiet.

"Be careful, three..... No, in a group of five, find out those two traveling merchants for me. ”

Gallaher felt something was wrong, too quiet.

The two groups of Tower Legionnaires immediately split into four groups, drew their weapons, and ran out in several directions.

However, it didn't take long for a pair of vertical children of the dragon blood mage to scan the surroundings and suddenly say in a loud voice:

"Gallaher, we are surrounded."

"Siege!? How do you know? Gallaher was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, but the clenched weapon in his hand and the defensive posture explained his attitude towards coping.

"It's sharp."

A voice echoed through the alley, reverberating through the dilapidated houses, and it seemed that it was difficult to grasp the exact location except for the general direction.

The dragon-blooded mage laughed:

"Bluffing? If you're sure, why wait for us to separate before poking our heads out......"

"Bluffing? Maybe. ”

With the sound, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness, revealing itself in the sight of the dragon-blooded mage and Gallaher.

Almost as he walked out of the alley, a scream came from the alley, from the direction of the search movement of the five-person team.

Hearing the screams, Gallaher's expression changed, and the dragon-blooded mage frowned slightly.

However, it was at this time that the figure that had come out of the alley rushed towards them.

And in the action of fluttering, on the surface of his body, blood gushed out like a tide, wriggling and condensing on the surface of his body, clustering and interweaving, forming a body like blood vessels and muscles.

When these intertwined things were intertwined, Huo Ran made his figure much taller, the dark red blood condensation thing was like a muscle, and the whole person was filled with a violent and ferocious aura, as if it was not a human being, but a humanoid predator who was about to hunt.

"Xeno!?"

Gallaher's expression changed, he didn't choose to retreat, and the long knife in his hand immediately slashed out, and the vitality of his body was released from the inside and outside, and it rushed out with an explosive momentum.

At the same time, the dragon-blooded mage's left hand, which was covered with black and red scales, also brought up a blazing flame with the movement of his claws-

Dragon's Flame Claw!

It is not a fire element, but a vitality with the nature of a fire element, which naturally has the special nature of integrating attack and defense.

At the moment when the dragon-blooded mage's spell-like ability was cast, he suddenly noticed that the blood-colored xenomorph that was attacking on the opposite side exploded in power again!

It was as if the flesh and blood were directly exposed to the atmosphere, and kicked the ground with its incomparably strong and thick hind legs, and the huge force made this blood-colored xenomorph almost turn into an afterimage!

Moreover......

Dragon Blood Mage Huo Ran noticed that in the other party's claw slamming down, the tip of the claw was turning from the blood that couldn't stop flowing into a crystal-like shining thing at an extremely fast speed.

And in the next moment, the moment Gallaher's long knife collided with the opponent's claws, the dragon-blooded mage suddenly realized the problem-

Obstruct!

In the plausible sound of metal clashing, the claw that seemed to crystallize, as if it had turned into a shining blood-colored gem, clenched Gallaher's long knife and pressed it in his direction.

At this moment, the dragon-blooded mage's flame-like energy claws were blocked by Gallaher's body.

However, the Dragon-Blood Mage was not unprepared.

At this moment, around his right leg, heterogeneous vitality with dragon breath gushed out, forming a body like a dragon's tail.

Like a burning fire, the dragon's tail of condensed vitality flung out like a whip, bypassing Gallaher's toppled body and slashing towards the enemy who tried to fend off Gallaher's body.

And his life force burned like a flame, and at this moment, with his claws back to his chest—

In the next moment, a scarlet spear-like blade pierced Gallaher's body, confirming the dragon-blooded mage's prediction.

The surging and condensed, crystal-like and gem-like bloody blades collided with the red-flame dragon claws.

Between the impacts of the energy surge, the flame-like life force spread outward in the explosion.

The fire flickered, illuminating the surroundings.

It's just that what the dragon-blooded mage saw at this moment, on the other party's face when it was illuminated by the fire-like vitality radiance, the pair of blood-like scarlet-eyed boys were not looking at him, but ......

Snort -

Not blood, but full substance.

A scaly blade as hard as metal, with a sound that broke through the air, pierced through the body of the dragon-blooded mage.

The dragon-blood mage's eyes widened, looking at the end of the abruptly twisted and deformed blood condensation blade, which had changed into a claw, firmly grasping the blood claw of his arm, bearing the scorching heat of the dragon flame, but it had no intention of letting go at all.

Even, at this moment......

Like the blood-colored lines that appeared on Gallaher's body, a sharp pain seeped into his body along with the claw tips that pierced his arm.

At this moment, Dragon Blood Mage Huo Ran realized something:

"Y-you-you-"

The body of the dragon-blooded mage was firmly fixed by the scale blade that began to deform after piercing into the body, and the struggling movements were almost useless.

Including the right leg swept out by the condensed flame tail, at this moment, it was also firmly bound by the xenomorph that seemed to be wearing armor.

"It's vulnerable."

Dragon-blooded mage, heard such a sentence.

It's just that he didn't have a chance to ask anymore.

The pain, as he instinctively urged his flame-like life force to resist the erosion, became even more intense, almost completely engulfing his consciousness.

He had never felt such intense pain, nor had he ever felt so keenly and perceptively.

It's just that, at such a time, this kind of sharpness is a kind of torture.

The ill-timed acuity brought about the intense pain that distracted him.

His will to resist, at this moment, collapsed.

But before the arrival of the dying moment when his consciousness was completely extinguished, that sharpness was completely detached from him.

It was as if, from this moment on, all his senses, all his bodies, were detached from him and no longer belonged to him.

In the midst of this terrifying feeling, the dragon-blooded mage had one question after another.

How many people have become such xenomorph monsters in this city?

What is the purpose of these xenomorph monsters?

However, it was also at this moment, at the end of death, that the dragon blood mage Huo Ran remembered a title that was also a minority among the blood mages-

Blood Beast.

The creatures that are called "beasts" are terrifying monsters whose blood is their true body.

It is also a forbidden form pursued by countless blood mages......

It turns out that does it really exist?
