Chapter 463: Grandmaster Screwface (2/2)

“But why do I have a bad feeling about this?” Stingham shuddered.

“There are two red lanterns there!” Meraly suddenly exclaimed.

“......”

Everyone became speechless again.

Two red light dots floated towards them from the pitch black passage.

Along with the light dots was a strong arcane energy fluctuation unique to demonic beasts.

An enormous silhouette appeared in their sight.

It was a strange humanoid monster.

It was more than three meters tall, had a body similar to a human covered in black hair. However, it had the head of a fish and barbels growing under its jaws. Sharp yellowish teeth grew inside its fish-like mouth.

“What the heck is this monster!?”

“Grandmaster Yi, you must be Grandmaster Screwface, you just screwed us again!”

Stingham was teary-faced. He had never seen or heard of such a monster. However, the arcane energy fluctuation coming from its body was at least on the level of the Fire Caracal Lord. More importantly, they might be discovered by the patrols if they fought it.

“It’s a rare monster. It may be a monster that only appears in underground sewers like this, since I have never seen it in any books before. However, don’t panic.” Grandmaster Yi spoke in a serious tone, “It’s just a lord level monster. You should also know that lord level monsters have a strong obsession with territory. As long as one such lord level monster appeared here, there should not be any other powerful monsters nearby.”

“That sounds reasonable.” Ayrin, Charlotte and the others looked at one another.

If they killed that lord level monster, they should not encounter any other monster for a while.

Also, it was better to encounter a lord level monster instead of an emperor level monster.

“Is it? Old man, what you said only applied to the low-intelligence bugs living in the forests outside.” However, at that moment, they heard a voice with an authentic Doa accent.

“You can speak?”

Ayrin and Stingham exclaimed in bewilderment.

It was the hairy fish head monster who spoke.

“How is it strange?”

Another voice could be heard.

“The human race is the existence with the poorest talent. They only obtained strength through learning the Draconic language. Since even the human race can speak, what’s strange about us being able to speak?”

Another splash of water accompanied that voice. Two more silhouettes appeared before Ayrin’s group.

One of them looked like a crocodile. His body was bronze colored and a pair of membrane wings grew on its back.

The other one also looked strange. It seemed to be two huge black fish glued together. It had two heads and its body maintained a half-standing posture. The voice came from its two heads.

“Nightwalker, Cave Lord!”

After seeing the two-headed black fish-like monster, Meraly changed her expression.

The Cave Lord, which had the nickname Nightwalker, was an extremely rare monster. However, due to its many unique talents and abilities, it had left many anecdotes in the records of the ancient Kingdom of Doa.

She remembered that some of the books described the place where the Cave Lord passed through during battle would become a dark road. The Cave Lord would become faster while staying on that road, while other arcane masters would suffer arcane damage while staying on that road.

Most importantly, she remembered that the Cave Lord could use its two heads independently. While one would focus on battling, the other could refine arcane particles. It would be able to replenish the arcane particles it lost in battle.

“Little girl, you got good eyes. I am the Cave Lord.”

“Allow me to introduce. This is the Shoal Lord.” Hearing Meraly’s exclamation, the two heads of the Cave Lord showed a proud expression. It nodded towards the crocodile-like monster and introduced it. Then, it turned around to look at the fish head monster that appeared first and said, “That is the Swamp Lord.”

“Three lord level monsters? Grandmaster Yi, can you screw us over any worse?” Meraly almost went crazy. She felt the urge to use her Golden Holy Sword to chop up Grandmaster Yi.

At that moment, Stingham mumbled, “All of you can speak just like Emperor Evil Eye which was killed by us?”

“What?” The three lord level monsters were taken aback.

“Hey, do you eat people?” Ayrin suddenly looked at the winged crocodile-like Shoal Lord and the twin-headed black fish-like Cave Lord.

What? You’re scared?

The three lords felt relieved. The Cave Lord smiled menacingly, “Relax, we don’t have such a hobby. Since there aren’t many arcane masters who would come here to die, we would have died from hunger if our diet consisted of humans.”

“You guys eat poop then?” Stingham mumbled. He felt disgusted at his own imagination and shuddered.

The Cave Lord almost passed out due to anger caused by Stingham’s assumption and roared, “Idiot! There are plenty of fish and prawns in the clean water! There are even enough huge blind fish for a lifetime’s worth of food in this underground dark river! They are a hundred times more delicious than the meat of beasts on land!”

“That’s good. I won’t get a trauma from eating you then.” Ayrin suddenly smiled and looked at the three lords, “All of you look plump, you should be delicious.”
