Chapter 496: Chapter 496 Beast
Scarlet Manor – Mansion
Han Dong and the maid – Julia met in the secret partition of the mansion.
Intentionally left a crow on the roof to watch the Count’s movements.
After confirming that the Count returned to the mansion with only three pets, without bringing any confidants or Guards, they continued with their plan…
Han Dong held a roughly made map in his hand, which was personally drawn by Jane.
It was a specialty map that Han Dong had Jane draw during stealth operations around the mansion, marking a specific area of the mansion.
“My lord, how did you get this map… this is a forbidden area inside the mansion. We servants have no right to enter.
There are guards in regular charge of watching it. Even the Baron needs to apply in advance to enter.”
“Oh, absolutely forbidden?… Jane is indeed remarkable. By the way, what’s inside? What’s its level of secrecy?”
“It is the Count’s private place, which has a high degree of secrecy. It has multiple secret doors and barriers…As servants, we don’t know exactly what it’s for and never have the authority to enter.
There are rumors that the Count takes exceptional slaves into this enclosed area to begin the First Embrace ceremony.
There are also rumors that inside is the Count’s “private theater”.
Enslaved slaves, after special training, will be taken into the theater to perform live shows.
Because the Count’s laughter attribute is quite severe, he needs to regularly release his desire for manic laughter through various comedies, jokes or some special activities.
There are also rumors that in a separate room deep inside the mansion, there is the ‘land deed’ of the Scarlet Manor.”
Han Dong was quite satisfied with the information reported by Julia. To a certain extent, he placed Julia on the ‘excellent employee’ list. In the future, when sent to his manor, she would not be used as a test subject but would undertake a series of basic tasks for the manor.
“Perhaps… all these rumors are true.
Julia, you better hide and wait until the war is over.”
“Okay… May you be victorious, my lord.”
…
The Count returned to his manor.
The three pets he was leading were – [Hybrid], [Corpse demon], [Millipede]
The Hybrid was Abe’s target.
As per Han Dong’s request, Abe had switched to a dual-stance of Owl plus Cheetah for the entire duration. He had flown stealthily behind Han Dong during the battlefield crossing and arrived at the manor at the same time.
Currently, Han Dong was sitting relaxedly on the edge of the top floor of the mansion.
The Count’s voice was amplified through the blood energy in Scarlet Manor.
“Lord Nicholas, your performance really surprised me… Honestly, I initially thought that you were here to give away the ‘land deed’. I had not expected you to hide so many tricks up your sleeve.
In the remaining time, I hope that you can bring more excitement.”
The Count did not want to converse leisurely with Han Dong… Although he demanded excitement, he also wanted to dispose of Han Dong quickly, to prevent any ‘freak’ incidents from happening.
The hell iron chain was released, and the pets broke free.
The Hybrid, which was originally suppressed to the size of an ordinary beast, grew to five meters long in the blink of an eye and seemed to keep growing as it rushed towards the rooftop of the mansion.
At the same time, the man-sized millipede pet (which had the excellent arms of various kinds of creatures as ‘legs,’ kept the elder’s shell feature and head) also began to crawl towards the eaves.
The Corpse Demon, which had a skeletal head and a spiritual body wrapped in ripped cloth inside a glass casing, also flew towards Han Dong, apparently able to release a terrifying spiritual attack through its dreadful skull.
For Han Dong alone, the three Demon pets could pose a significant threat…
The first one to step on the eaves and come before Han Dong was, in fact, a hybrid beast demon that had grown to a size of seven meters.
With less than three meters between them, they were already within the beast’s attack range.
However, Han Dong did not show any signs of movement, as he quietly looked at this hybrid beast species that exuded a powerful pressure mixed with a hint of a dragon and various rare beasts.
Needless to say, as the first pet of the Count, its individual quality was incredibly high.
Although it was an individual formed through advanced splicing techniques, it had flawlessly fused various genes together.
The two dragon-like heads stared at Han Dong, letting out a thunderous roar!
But the beast didn’t use its dragon heads to bite or to breathe, instead, a much larger mouth full of tentacles split open from the center of the beast’s two dragon heads.
Trying to wrap around Han Dong’s body and forcibly devour him.
Just as this hybrid beast’s attention was completely locked on Han Dong,
An even more powerful beastly nature erupted from the side.
Bear form.
Different from previous beast transformations.
The bear shadow covering Abe was not ordinary beast transformation white mist.
It was mixed with a dark aura, overall more realistic and massive, and concurrently Abe himself also more closely resembled a [Polar Bear], with a broad back, arms twice as robust as usual, and the addition of white fur.
At the same time, a pair of boxing gloves enhanced his borrowed striking power.
Abe had been silent since they left the city, he had been waiting for this kind of fight for too long… When his opportunity came, he obviously exploded with everything he had.
‘Power Palm’
Transforming into the Bear form, with maximum strength he launched his palms.
The combined forces of piercing power, internal force, and sheer bear paw brute force, directly penetrated the sturdy dragon scales on the surface of the hybrid beast, the body shattered into pieces…
The seven-meter-long, tons-heavy [Hybrid Chromagus] was directly sent flying by this blow from Abe.
Two chains that had been prepared earlier were thrown out by Abe, before the beast hit the ground, dragging it away from the side of the manor…away from the main battle area between Han Dong and the Count, in an attempt to take the beast separately down the mountain to be dealt with.
When the other two pets wanted to restrain this sudden situation,
A burning sensation struck them.
Clank, clank~~
Two Hell Iron Chains, marked with the Hell Emblem and burning red on the surface, were shot from the roof, wrapping around the millipede and the corpse demon, forcibly restraining their pursuit with brute force.
“Count, why don’t you let my friend here play with your favorite little dog? Shall we continue with the ‘official business’ between the lords?”
At the eaves.
Besides Han Dong, there was also a bald man from Hell.
The Hell Iron Chains had caused the Count to knit his brow slightly. He had never seen the Hell system… but it was this unknown element that made the Count split into an exaggerated red smile.
“All right… I just hope you can give me more surprises.”
With a wave of the Count’s hand, a ‘grown out’ pure silver chain on either side of the Silver Cross that pierced through his left and right wrists ends with a sharp cone shape and directly pierced into the two pets.
Hum!!
The Hell Iron Chains wrapped around the pets’ bodies were instantly severed.
In no time, the Count arrived on the eaves with his two ‘activated’ pets, coming face to face with Han Dong.
