“Hm?” noticing something, Yadley quickly left the area and hid back into the darkness.

“So I was late…” Chris arrived at the battle area from another direction, unfortunately, the only thing waiting for him was two cold, dead bodies.

The air was filled with the scent of blood and a strange smell of gunpowder. Chris sighed, glanced at the two burning balls of fire, then put his gaze towards the darkness behind it.

The dark-gold Bizarre Scales immediately leapt out from the shade of the tree, due to the wound it received by tripping, the creature’s speed was considerably slower. Chris easily avoided its attack, rolled next to one of the bodies, picked up a sword and slashed the air, all within a single swift motion.

As several black threads were cut, Yadley jumped out from the other side. The muscles of his arm blackened and morphed into a huge tentacle that whipped itself towards Chris, the Bizarre Scales also turned around and charged at him again.

As the black tentacle struck his sword, Chris immediately let go of it and used the momentum to roll along the ground, at the same time avoiding the Bizarre Scales’ charge.

Yadley’s right hand that had turned into a tentacle directly struck the edge of the sword and received a small wound about the size of a finger. But small black threads came out from the opening of the wound and quickly sewed the wound back to normal.

I used the [Black Crow] germs to devour and replace all the muscles of my arm. Due to the limit of the human body, one arm can only contain so many muscles, but Lord Negary’s blessing has allowed me to surpass that limit!

As Yadley’s body trembled, a huge number of black substances began to gather at his arms, sprouting several tentacles from his shoulder. Each tentacle was made completely of [Black Crow] germs imitating muscles, the muscle tentacles madly writhed and struck his surroundings almost uncontrollably. The snapping sounds made by tentacles were an indication of how terrifying the force behind them was.

Chris quickly stood back up, rubbing the numbness out of his wrist.

The force of that tentacle hand was easily as strong as the wyvern, if a human body were to take that head-on, they would most likely snap in half.

If I didn’t already notice and purposefully let go of the sword, my arm would’ve already been broken.

“You’re already more monster than you are human” he commented as he saw Yadley sprout the jet-black muscle tentacles. In fact, right now he felt that the main body of the man called Yadley was actually the tentacles, while Yadley’s human parts were more of a burden to him.

“Bizarre Scales, charge! Kill him!”

Chris took a deep breath and began to move again. The Bizarre Scales’ lowered speed together with the dragon powder he was carrying made it so that the creature couldn’t touch him unless he was careless, but that also meant that his range of movement had been restricted.

Two of Yadley’s tentacles propped themselves on the ground to support him while the others wildly attacked their surroundings. The trees that stood in their ways were broken in half, the buildings that blocked them were smashed to rubble, Chris was actually feeling numb from the attacks through the intense shockwaves they gave off.

Against such violent tentacle attacks as well as the Bizarre Scales’ unpredictable ambushes, he had to spend all of his attention on dealing with these attacks without a moment of rest. Otherwise, if even one tentacle struck him, or if the Bizarre Scales managed to get on top of him, that would be his death.
