Chris was sticking to the wall like a gecko. Since Stripping Rhythm worked on the principle that things with unharmonious rhythms were repelled, a perfectly harmonious rhythm could naturally create suction.
“As expected, I have something that’s affecting the so-called Bizarre Scales and causing it to be just a little bit hesitant as it attacks” Chris climbed up the wall and onto the roof of the building.
“The Bizarre Scales’ rhythm is full of madness and chaos, a creature with this kind of rhythm should be no more than an irrational beast, so how is that Crowmen controlling it?” Chris swiftly rolled to one side.
A thin tiny black string flashed into existence for a brief second and disappeared, Chris continued to use his breathing to sense his surroundings. He was basically walking on a tightrope right now so one wrong step for him could mean death.
With a dark golden flash, the Bizarre Scales jumped out from some corner and destroyed the roof of the building where Chris was standing. The Bizarre Scales’ body was now in the air, its movements slowed enough by the impact for Chris to see its face.
The creature was mostly humanoid with dark golden scales of mixed colours all over its body, a thin membrane underneath its armpits and a long barbed tail behind it. The only way to describe the look on its face was madness; sharp, jagged and uneven teeth protruded from its mouth while drool dripped down.
As soon as the Bizarre Scales landed, its body disappeared in a dark golden flash.
“That was dragon scales” sensing the incredibly imbalanced rhythm, impatience and madness he felt from the creature, Chris couldn’t help but recall one of his adventures.
While it wasn’t exactly the same as the wyvern he defeated with Deep Rhythm, the imbalanced rhythm and dark golden scales of the creature could be faintly recognized as dragon scales.
“Dragon! Damn it, so that’s the reason why Negary wanted to keep Nala here” Chris was immediately able to explain a lot of things.
From a very long time ago, Negary had already discovered that Nala was the Daughter of Dragons, and he’s been keeping Isabella and her daughter in Reya for all these years in order to study the secret of the Dragon’s blood. By now, Negary’s experiments must’ve yielded results and the Bizarre Scales are part of that.
Chris wasn’t wrong, the Bizarre Scales were indeed a product of Negary’s experiments to create the Soul’s blood. The Cauchy mix-blooded people before Comoros accepted the injection of the Dragon’s blood, but their souls couldn’t endure the [Dragon’s Pressure] inside the blood. Not only did these people lose their minds and become senseless animals, but their bodies also mutated due to the influence of the Dragon’s blood.
These monsters were both ferocious and mindless, if Negary hadn’t found a way to restrain them, they would’ve already been discarded as failed specimens.
“Which means, the item that was able to affect these Bizarre Scales was…” Chris glanced down at a piece of ivory hanging on his clothes, the fang of the ferocious wyvern.
If the Bizarre Scales hadn’t been affected by the wyvern fang and hesitated slightly each time it attacked, Chris would’ve already been killed by this beast with strength and speed that vastly overwhelmed his own.
“I don’t know how many of these Bizarre Scales there are, but Negary’s accumulated power is definitely terrifying. This ominous Evil Spirit must be destroyed” Chris’ mind turned and swiftly took the wyvern fang into his hand.
Regardless, I have to make it through the current danger first. With the wyvern fang, I will at least have a bit of protection against the Bizarre Scales, so the most dangerous factor right now is the Crowmen who is controlling the Bizarre Scales
Chris remembered the thin black string that appeared for a split second before it vanished.
“Kill him, Bizarre Scales!” Yadley’s voice came again, Chris was feeling a sense of danger unlike ever before.
