Chapter 146 - A Family of Strange Creatures, Each Stronger Than the Last
Chapter 146: A Family of Strange Creatures, Each Stronger Than the Last
The father has turned into a wild boar man, his face ferocious, holding the bone-scraping knife that killed him when he was alive.
Just standing there and looking at him, he looked quite terrifying and intimidating.
Flanders was surprised. How could a dead man suddenly turn into a strange creature in the blink of an eye?
Moreover, with such a fierce aura, he was at least C rank at birth.
Why was he on the same level as the Sword King?
Since when did the Sword King become a combat statistics unit? Those without C rank were all trash, and those with C rank could barely be considered competent.
The wild boar father in front of him was like that.
Especially when the large knife was held in the wild boar father’s hand, his strength had increased by a notch.
This was a C+ rank wild boar butcher.
In Flanders’s eyes, if the other party’s strength had increased by a notch, he would have directly broken through to B rank.
Not knowing when, the large knife that had killed the man had also turned into a military equipment strange creature like sword Apophis.
However, the relationship between this large bone scraping knife and the wild boar butcher was not like the master-servant relationship between Flanders and Sword Apophis. Instead, it was a more equal relationship.
The bone scraping knife’s own strange creature rank was not low either. Its strength was at a D+ level.
If even a weapon had such terrifying strength, then there was no need to mention the other two people present.
As the mother of the woman, the owner of the bone scraping knife, and the daughter who was protected by the woman, the person the bone scraping knife sought to protect.
First, let’s talk about the daughter. The daughter’s appearance was very special. The overall change was not big.
It was just that her skin was a little whiter, her eyes were a little more sparkling, and her hair was a little more beautiful.
There were no special physical changes, only that she had become a little more beautiful on the basis of her original appearance.
Although she had only become more beautiful, the aura that the other party was exuding was shocking and surprising.
Who would have thought that such a gentle and weak girl, who looked like she did not have much strength at the age of 13 or 14, would actually have the strength of a B rank?
She was much stronger than her father, who looked incomparably fierce.
Looking at the daughter Alice’s appearance, a sentence flashed through Flanders’mind.
‘In nature, beauty often coexists with danger. The more beautiful one is, the more terrifying the danger they contain.
Some of the dangers are even unimaginable.’
And now, all of this was confirmed in front of Flanders’s eyes.
Although he did not know what Alice’s ability was and what kind of performance it would display.
But just from this intense contrast, Flanders did not dare to belittle her.
“How amazing! What exactly is this strange creature egg? It can actually display such a powerful effect?”
Hearing Flanders’s question, Apophis stepped forward and explained for Flanders.
“Master, the strange creature egg itself is a miraculous creation that is almost impossible to appear in this world.”
As expected, Flanders was very interested in sword Apophis’s words.
“Oh? What do you mean?”
Flanders leaned back so that his conversation with Sword Apophis would not be heard by the other side.
Although the two of them were communicating with their minds, there was no guarantee that these people would be able to hear their conversation because they were too close to each other.
After all, this was their Domain, so there was no saying what would happen.
Of course, these people might be able to hear from the beginning and would not be affected by the distance at all.
However, it would be meaningless whether they retreated or not.
However, retreating could prevent the situation in front of them, and not retreating was a type of situation that could not be prevented.
After keeping a distance from the changing family, Flanders continued to listen to Sword Apophis’s narration.
“Strange creatures are not all born from eggs. Basically, it will be born immediately after the right circumstances are met, not to mention hatching through the strange creature egg.”
Under sword Apophis’explanation, Flanders also had his own understanding of this strange creature egg. He nodded silently.
Then, he asked his new question:
“If that’s the case, then why is there a strange egg? What is the reason for this thing being born?”
Sword Apophis was also stumped by this question. It thought for a moment and finally chose to answer honestly.
“I don’t know the exact reason either. There are many theories about this thing, and there are many situations as well.”
If it knew, then it knew. If it did not know, then it did not know. Flanders would not do anything to Sword Apophis just because it did not know.
Although he treated Sword Apophis like an encyclopedia, he knew that the waters of this world were deeper than he had imagined.
Sword King was only a C rank small character. By his side, Sword Apophis’knowledge was limited.
Therefore, Flanders did not dwell on this point. Instead, he continued with the next question.
He was really curious about this strange creature egg.
“Then what is the use of this thing?”
Sword Apophis knew about this question. At the same time, it heaved a sigh of relief and told the truth.
As Flanders’s servant, its thoughts were not important, but its position in Flanders’s heart was very important.
Sword Apophis had already felt a sense of crisis because of the appearance of the pitch-black scythe and as Flanders’s weapon.
Even if Flanders did not say anything, Sword Apophis could not feel at ease.
As a strange creature master-servant contract, Sword Apophis could not let its master forget him. Otherwise, it would be locked in the sea of consciousness like in the past.
It was because of this that Sword Apophis would show himself whenever he had the chance.
In order to show his value to his heart’s content and avoid being abandoned by Flanders.
If it was abandoned by Flanders, then it would have almost no chance of rising.
If it could not absorb flesh and blood, it would not be able to increase its strength. If it could not increase its strength, Sword Apophis immediately felt that it was not far from extinction.
In the many years since it became a strange creature, it had dealt with other strange creatures.
However, most of them could not understand Sword Apophis because they did not have intelligence. Many things were done based on instinct.
In the end, they were either subdued and used as cannon fodder or killed by other powerful mages.
Some with special abilities were fine, but those with ordinary abilities were not even qualified to be subdued.
Cruelty, this was reality.
