Chapter 34 (2/2)
Like how Nozades’ implants gave him his ability to sense and copy an opponent’s ability, Yadley, the literal first Crowmen, also manifested an ability of his own. He was the one who managed to explore the [Black Crow] germs the most among the Crowmen, one of the strongest among all of Negary’s subordinates.
“Captain Yadley” a merchant-looking person walked in front of Yadley, his skin was constantly morphing and turning into a black hue before finally becoming a mud-like substance, then settled as a plain face without any notable features.
“What’s the news, Garnan?” Yadley asked.
Garnan was also one of the Crowmen, like Nozades, he implanted the [Black Crow] germs all over his skin, but how he used them in battle was different from Nozades. He had the [Black Crow] germs completely devour his skin, giving him the ability to shapeshift into any disguise.
Because of this, he’s normally disguised as someone else to collect intel in various locations.
“The latest reports stated that Cardinal Augustin of the Church of Divine Grace was spotted not too far away from Reya with a squad of Warriors of Divine Grace” Garnan’s voice was also featureless, like his appearance, unobtrusive.
“Reinforcements?” Yadley nodded, gesturing that he understood.
“Additionally, there is one other unconfirmed report” Garnan hesitated for a bit before continuing: “I got a tip from a Royas merchant that the Royas Kingdom might have sent some people to Reya”
“So the Royas Kingdom wants to join in on the fun as well?” Yadley frowned, feeling things becoming more complicated: “I got it, continue to collect more information, pay attention to safety”
“Understood!” Garnan’s skin twisted and turned black again before transforming into a young man with a naïve look on his face. Once he changed his outfit, he would have turned into a rookie mercenary who just left home.
“Lord Negary…” Yadley whispered as he looked at Garnan walking away, then turned to the direction of the forbidden zone. Over 1/3rd of his body now consisted of the [Black Crow] germs, so he was able to sense some of Lord Negary’s changes through the viral connection.
〖Yadley〗
An exhausted-sounding voice was transmitted to Yadley through his [Black Crow] germs, causing him to immediately kneel down on one knee and deeply lower his head, then he respectfully answered: “I’m here, Lord Negary, how can I serve you?”
〖I will need to hibernate for a short while. During this time, Noah will be by my side to protect me, so he won’t be able to leave. You will be responsible for keeping Reya’s order, don’t let anyone disturb me〗
〖Additionally, Nozades was defeated by Chris, Tesa is going to lose as well very soon. I will tell you the method of controlling the Bizarre Scales. Have them intercept Chris and kill him if possible. If it seems too difficult, you don’t need to force it〗
〖The most important thing, for now, is to make sure my dormant period passes smoothly〗
“Understood, Lord Negary!”

TN: From this chapter onwards, Negary’s dialogues will be put into his own 〖〗brackets, this is to show that he had fully discarded his previous human self (Wang Yuan) and become a different entity altogether.
