Note: As VeggieFly is leaving us, we have got ourself two new editors: FlashFly and KiwiFly. This chapter is edited by both of them.
The clay alligator charged forward, and, with the breeze it caused sweeping up dead leaves, it looked as if it were invincible.
It was worth mentioning that the build of the Demon Alligator Hunter had entered the scope of large creatures. In comparison, the ferocious Hooked Horror was only considered a medium size creature.
Fights between demon beasts always came down to strength, and no doubt, the size of their bodies was the most direct method of showing off their strength.
Facing the charging Demon Alligator Hunter, the Hooked Horrors, who even Mary couldn’t harm, had transformed into a group of terrified little bunnies putting up a deathbed struggle. One after another they were thrown to the ground by the Demon Alligator, who used his powerful jaw to shred them into little pieces. At the same time, the hunter, who sat up high, kept throwing spears down. Each spear pinned the Hooked Horrors, who tried to leap onto the Demon Alligator’s back, to the ground.
Although Hooked Horrors were also Earth Elemental creatures, which granted them immunity from the Earth Elemental damage brought by the Dirt Spear, they couldn’t escape from the brutal physical damage. Hence, while charging towards their enemy, many Hooked Horrors were nailed into the ground by the spear, putting up a useless struggle.
A few of the lucky Hooked Horrors managed to land beside the Demon Alligator. They vented their anger by using the most powerful attacks they could muster. They tirelessly hit the thick, tough clay armour covering the top of the Demon Alligator’s body. They attacked aggressively. Their scratching and biting caused dirt chunks to fall off continuously. But from time to time, an earthy yellow ring of light would burst out from the Demon Alligator’s body, bringing the Demon Alligator another layer of new clay armour.
The hunter who sat high up would never let the enemies who tried to destroy the body of the Demon Alligator go. The dirt spears, that were fired from close range,
The team stopped in this dark limestone cavern. Lit up by the dancing flame of the torch, the huge body of the Demon Alligator appeared even more frightening and ruthless. Frightened by it, most of the Underground creatures who came here for water immediately scurried away, and only a handful of creatures who didn’t possess sufficient intelligence initiated their attack. Of course, these poor fellows were all killed on the spot.
Greem’s soft, thick and waterproof black deerskin boots stepped onto the muddy and slippery stone path. As Greem climbed down from the Demon Alligator Hunter, he pushed back his hood. He quickly started scanning the mission site through his strange goggles.
It was unexpectedly calm, a mission like this was considered an Orange mission?
But, before he could continue pondering this strange occurrence, an extremely gentle and lovely female voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
“As an elegant gentleman, don’t you think you should help the beautiful lady get down from the vehicle?”
A cold shudder suddenly went down Greem’s back. He was taken aback by Mary’s ‘frightening’ voice. To be honest, Mary always showed him the brutal and aggressive side of hers during a fight. By suddenly portraying the look of a gentle lady, clearly, because of boredom, she was once again trying to fool him.
After knowing her for a long time, he now had a clearly understood Mary’s temper.
She was an extremely dangerous girl; she was a wounded girl who lacked trust in the outside world.
Greem had absolutely no idea how Mary endured all those frightening magical experiments done by Adept Anderson. However, Greem was sure of one thing: the current Mary was showing signs of having split personalities. One was the original Mary, who was a shy and introverted girl, while another was the cruel vampire Mary, whose mind was twisted. The two totally opposite personalities were placed in the same body, producing a Mary who always felt insecure.
She was like a mind twisted dowager. On one hand, she wanted to use her beautiful and sexy appearance to make everyone crazy about her. Whilst, on the other hand, she couldn’t restrain her desire for fresh blood and wished she could rip every single human into pieces, pouring their blood onto her beautiful body.
Therefore, her behaviour swung between seduction and cruelty. Even a slight mistake would trigger the pain hiding deep within her heart, causing her to transform into the ‘Bloody Queen’ that she always dreamed of!
In brief, it was extremely rare to see a perfect human being to walk on the path of Adept!
