Chapter 39 Silver Thread
Bang bang bang, the sound of fighting was endless. As time went by, the three Yin beasts continued to cooperate, and the rats began to feel a little tired of dealing with it. In the process, the sick dog relied on the help of Bloodhoof and Phantom Lizard. With the advantage of speed, he got close to the old hunchback several times. Although he was blocked by the rats in the end, it did put a lot of pressure on the old hunchback.
With a gloomy face, the old hunchback knew that it was time for him to make up his mind. After a period of fighting, he had a certain understanding of the strength of the three people on the opposite side. One was a second-level man and two were a first-level man. They had the strange ability to transform monsters. Their strength was considered among the same level. Not bad, but under such circumstances it is no longer realistic to rely on the rats to defeat them.
As a second-level wizard who majored in beast control, Lao Hunchback's main focus was on the art of controlling rats and the transformation of rats. He didn't dabble much in other witchcraft, but he also had his own trump card.
After making up his mind and no longer hesitating, his spirituality surged wildly, the old hunchback began to activate a certain mark in his body, but at this moment, a lump of earth suddenly bulged on the ground in front of him.
Phew, a half-human, half-animal figure jumped up from the ground and suddenly appeared in front of the old hunchback.
Whoa, the gray pupils reflected sharp claws flashing with cold metallic light. Before the old hunchback could react, a sharp claw fiercely grabbed his neck.
The pupils suddenly dilated, and the old hunchback couldn't help but show a trace of panic in his heart, but at this moment, the strange object on his body came into play again.
Mouse Fur Clothes, a second-level strange object, has a constant second-level mouse transformation technique that allows the wearer to transform into a mouse, and has a constant first-level dark protection, which can automatically activate a shield to protect the wearer in times of danger.
Hey, the sharp claws were blocked and made a harsh sound as if cutting a hard object. This changed the face of the gopher Enkesi who had been waiting for a long time to hit the target.
His heart became fierce, and his arms suddenly expanded in a circle. Under such circumstances, Dark Shelter was eventually scratched by Enkesi's claws, but in the process, the old hunchback had already reacted to the surprise attack.
The sharp claws rushed forward, aiming directly at the old hunchback's neck, but at this moment, a strange force acted on the gopher Enkesi, causing his offensive movements to deform a bit at the critical moment.
Deflection, a first-level force field witchcraft, can deflect the attack of physical objects, and has a good effect on arrows, bullets, etc.
Hey, blood was thrown away, and he rolled on the spot. Regardless of the possibility that he might be accidentally injured, the old hunchback once again activated the fireball technique.
His face changed drastically. Facing the confused fireball, the gopher did not dare to pursue it anymore. He could only change into a beast shape and ball up himself.
Boom, the fireball exploded, and the gopher was hit from the front. His whole body was charred and smelled of burning. The old hunchback also felt uncomfortable because the dark protection of the mouse fur coat had just been broken, so his protection this time was worse. A lot more, but his goal can be considered to have been achieved.
Quickly pulling away, ignoring the severe pain from the facial burn, the old hunchback issued new instructions to the rats.
With a squeaking sound, a strange rat chirping sounded, and several rats suddenly broke away from the group of rats and launched a desperate charge against the three sick dogs.
Faced with this situation, the three sick dogs had no choice but to deal with these few rats first. Taking advantage of this gap, the remaining rats receded like the tide and quickly returned to the old hunchback.
A bright silver light rose from the darkness, and strands of it were like blood vessels all over the old hunchback's body, including his hands, arms, chest, neck, and face, making his whole body look like it was covered with ice. Like cracked porcelain.
"You are all going to die."
The voice was hoarse, like a curse, and particularly harsh. This was the first thing the old hunchback said to Yin Beast and the others.
Ah, after the words fell, he let out a painful groan, and wisps of bright silver light penetrated from the old hunchback's body, like waving silver threads, unexpectedly beautiful.
The silver thread was twisted, like a living thing, and quickly penetrated into the bodies of the rats.
Squeak, squeak, painful wails came from the rats, but the strange thing was that no mouse escaped. Because no mouse resisted, they just stood there and let the silver thread pierce their bodies and devour them. flesh and blood.
Traces of blood emerged from the silver thread, like light and mist. In just an instant, all the flesh and blood of the rat was swallowed up by the silver thread, leaving only a patch of dry rat skin.
Roar, let out a low roar that did not sound like a human voice. After devouring the rats, the appearance of the old hunchback quietly changed.
His face was elongated, black hair covering his whole body sprouted from his body, his fingers became sharp and slender, and his eyes glowed with bright silver. At this moment, he looked more like a mouse than a person.
To a certain extent, the old hunchback's current form is somewhat similar to that of an animal devil fruit user, but it is more twisted and weird.
Seeing the changes in the old hunchback, the expressions of Bloodhoof Crom and others became more solemn. They moved closer silently, and at some point the gopher, who was exuding a burnt smell, also joined them. , relying on the strong body of an animal devil fruit user, he survived the fireball that made his face dazzle.
Bang, there were no unnecessary words, only naked murderous intent. The mutated body gave the old hunchback a strong physical quality. His legs were strong, the ground was cracked, and he was in front of the four Yin Beasts in an instant.
With solemn eyes and no hesitation, Crom faced the menacing old hunchback directly because he was the strongest among the four.
Bang, the fists intertwined, and Crom's expression changed. After consuming the devil fruit in the form of a blood hoof, an animal-type extraordinary species, his strength increased greatly. Even the second-level knight Monnes could compete with him, but At this moment, he felt invincible.
Boom, the body flew out backwards, and the right hand was wrapped with thread-like black mist. The flesh and blood melted, and Crom couldn't help but let out a painful groan.
Corroding fog, a first-level dark witchcraft, and the dark-corroding rat bloodline brings the old hunchback's innate ability after activation.
Seeing this situation, the other three members of the Yin Beast immediately launched an attack. The sick dog and the phantom lizard rushed to the old hunchback from left to right, trying to restrain him, while the gopher quietly took a few steps back, trying to He activated his talent to drill into the ground and looked for opportunities to sneak attack again, but at this moment, the old hunchback disappeared again.
Phew, a harsh air explosion sounded, and the moment the sound came, the old hunchback appeared in front of the gopher.
"What?"
The panic in his eyes magnified, and he had no time to dodge or resist. The gopher's abdomen was quietly pierced by a weird sharp claw.
Hey, he let out a cold laugh, and let the body of the gopher, whose life or death was unknown, fall limply to the ground, licking the warm blood on his fingertips, and the old hunchback turned his attention to the sick dog.
"Third level?"
On the tall building in the distance, Sean murmured, and the color of sight enveloped the surroundings. The battle between the Yin Beast and the Old Hunchback all fell into his "eyes".
