“That light!” as he saw the blinding light coming from the other side, he ignored recovering his stamina or closing his wounds and hurriedly headed towards that direction.
The Bizarre Scales was still madly drinking Yadley’s blood flowing from his neck, but it suddenly became stiff. Several small black tentacles had already pierced into the Bizarre Scales’ mouth from inside Yadley’s neck.
The muscle tentacles began to move and twisted the Bizarre Scales’ neck, with its power, it easily snapped and severed the creature’s head from its body. The last thing the creature saw was a man who was more of a monster than it was, piercing his black tentacles into its body and ripping out a still-beating heart out from its chest.
The tentacles slowly pulled back into Yadley’s body, constantly writhing and moving for a while until Yadley finally opened his eyes.
“That really was a close one” Yadley stood up, his new heart had already begun to work and pumped his own blood as well as the residue Dragon’s blood throughout his body.
“How troublesome, my body isn’t suitable for implanting Dragon’s blood, so I could turn into a mindless Bizarre Scales at any time” Yadley was feeling a sense of fatigue unlike ever before: “After working for so long, the [Black Crow] germs need to eat”
Yadley glanced down at the corpse of the Bizarre Scales at his feet and put his right hand forward. It quickly morphed into black writhing tentacles that pierced straight into it and devoured the body. Yadley was no longer concerned about being polluted by the Dragon’s blood, he had determined himself to go back to pursuing Chris and the others after replenishing his energy. Before he thoroughly became a Bizarre Scales, he intended to use his own life to stop their enemies.
〖 Enough. Return, Yadley 〗a voice abruptly resounded inside Yadley’s mind, causing him to hurriedly prostrate himself: “For Lord Negary, I regret nothing, even if I have to use up the last drops of my blood, I will fight for your sake, my Lord”
〖 Do you think you’ve done well? 〗Negary’s question caused Yadley’s face to slowly become pale.
〖 Some of our enemies are already quite close to me 〗Negary was sitting on his throne of bones, speaking with an icy, emotionlessly cold tone: 〖 Do you know why I had spread the fake information about my dormant period? 〗
“This… this subordinate believes that it was to flush all of our hidden enemies out” Yadley hesitated briefly before answering.
〖 That is certainly one reason, but the other reason is that you and the others are gradually becoming unable to keep up with me 〗Negary’s tone was still completely calm, but ‘his’ words caused Yadley to feel a chill in his entire body.
〖 Just look at the weaknesses you showed in that battle just now, arrogant, overconfident, and unwilling to grow. You have all basked in the power I gave you for far too long, you’ve become weak 〗Negary’s words caused Yadley to completely collapse. Now that the very meaning of his life had been rejected, he no longer had any hope to live.
〖 However, compared to the others, you are still good enough. Your actions of absorbing the Dragon’s blood have given me a few ideas. You are still useful, return for now 〗
“I understand, Lord Negary” Yadley prostrated completely to the ground with tears running down his cheeks. He was feeling a mix of shame and determination, no matter what happened, he intended to do his very best from now on, he could not betray the last chance he was given this time and disappoint his Lord any further.
…
Let’s rewind time a bit. At this point, the Knight of Divine Grace, Rivers, was currently standing guard by his comrade’s dead body, ready to repel any sudden attacks.
『 Can you hear the commotion on that side? 』a shameless mocking voice resounded from all around, making him unable to determine where it was coming from.
