Crazy Beast

As mentioned earlier.

Due to his blood relation with Commander Kaimon, Abel had been a member of the Behemoth Knight Order for a long time and would occasionally accompany the Knight Order on simple and low-risk missions.

Four years ago, a 'major event' occurred.

As a result of that incident, Abel was completely forbidden from leaving the city with the Knight Order.

It wasn't until the recent Elite Training Camp that I was able to leave the city as Knight-Errant in a legitimate manner.

Four years ago.

Abel, now sixteen, had become familiar with most of the knights of the Knight Order.

The lookouts in the Holy City discovered signs of some stones moving in a forest area about 30 kilometers from the west gate, suspecting the possibility of Wild Monster gathering there.

Therefore, three knights from the Behemoth Knight Order were dispatched to investigate and handle the matter.

Thirty kilometers is considered a safe distance, considering that the last training camp was held at the Stuart Grand Manor, which was over sixty kilometers away.

Generally speaking

Due to the unique structure of the city walls, life outside the city is extremely averse to ' Metal Copper ' and generally will not approach within fifty kilometers.

Incidents like these are usually easy to handle; often all that's needed is to go there and investigate.

What you usually encounter are low-level Wild Monster or evil spirits that have gone astray. You can easily kill them to complete the mission and earn a decent bounty.

Abel had accompanied the knights out of the city on at least five occasions for investigations like this that occurred within a safe area.

Commander Kaimon used his authority to allow Abel to get a head start over his peers, familiarize himself with the environment outside the city, adapt to the pollution, and hone his survival skills outside the city.

Sixteen-year-old Abel put on "goggles" and set off with three knights.

All three knights were young knights Behemoth Knight Order less than three years ago, and were only ten years older Abel. They had a fairly good relationship in private... Abel would ask them questions in private about some minor issues concerning the control of his beastly nature.

However.

As the carriage drove into the forest, it reached the area where the incident occurred 30 kilometers away, but then suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Even when the lookouts used their 'eyes' ability, they couldn't see any trace of the carriage... it was as if the carriage had vanished into thin air after entering the rubble.

The news was immediately relayed back to the Behemoth Knight Order.

soon.

Commander Kaimon, riding a giant mammoth, personally set off, trampling down the trees along the way to reach the scene of the incident.

They even smelled the aura of the [Otherworldly Demon] among the rubble.

These seemingly haphazardly placed pebbles actually form an entrance to an Overlapping Space... When the carriage enters, it directly enters the interior space.

When Commander Kaimon personally stepped into the rubble space.

They discovered that this space was showing signs of collapse, and the interior was filled with a foul stench.

The three Formal Knight were dead, their beast-like bodies smashed to pieces by various stones, with small stone fragments even cutting into their internal bones, leaving no possibility of saving them.

Following the raging beastly energy in the air, a 'mad beast' was discovered in the center of the Overlapping Space, constantly cutting at some kind of stone life with its sharp claws.

The stone-attribute [Otherworldly Demon] that created this Overlapping Space was completely torn apart by this mad beast after being severely injured by the three knights.

Upon sensing the approach of other life, the beast revealed its primal ferocity and immediately pounced on Commander Kaimon.

certainly.

Due to the vast difference in their ranks, he was immediately pinned to the ground by Commander Kaimon with one hand.

But the beast was not to be outdone, and frantically tore at Commander Kaimon's arm.

It wasn't until Kaimon fully activated the Behemoth bloodline within him that he was able to suppress the beast's primal instincts back into his body with the strongest pressure.

Bone fragments and fur fell off.

The one pinned down by Commander Kaimon was the unconscious Abel Raine.

In this incident, Commander Kaimon used his connections to erase all information about Abel from the records of the incident... No one knew that Abel had completely gone berserk.

Also after this incident.

Commander Kaimon realized the problem and began to have Abel undergo comprehensive 'control' training. The primary goal was to control the 'primal beastly nature' within him, and the secondary goal was to learn and hone various skills.

Abel's true potential both pleased and worried him.

current.

In the world of "Tales of the Strange", the core building is the top floor of the Lighthouse.

Han Dong unleashed his advanced "tentacle transformation" ability in an attempt to kill [Lamp Man], but failed.

Under Chen Li's care, Abel, who had already fallen into weakness after having the wires removed from his body, was taken care of.

Staring at the terrible situation before him, and seeing Han Dong lying on the ground not far away after a desperate battle... he couldn't help but recall the scene of the three young knight seniors being killed by the alien demons.

"I must go berserk while retaining a sliver of consciousness... I must not go completely berserk!"

I must get Nicholas back to the Holy City safely... I must do it!

In a short time.

Abel's aura changed.

The pupils gradually faded and changed into two pure white eyes.

The white aura covering Abel's body became visible to the naked eye and even gradually materialized as its concentration increased... like layers of thin white armor covering Abel's entire body.

The well-defined structure gives it the feel of a lightweight, adaptive Exoskeleton Armor.

It has extremely high coverage on the limbs and also forms a special structure at the fingertips - "Void Claws".

A highly concentrated, high-strength, and invisible Wind Attribute claw...

At the same time, a white tail dragged on the ground, allowing Abel to maintain his center of gravity while moving at supersonic speeds.

This posture is somewhat different from when Abel went completely berserk. At least for now, Abel is still a human being... When he went completely berserk, he could be said to have been completely devoured by his primal beastly nature and ' Loss of Humanity '.

This posture is the result of Abel's long-term learning to 'control' and gradually taming the Inner Beast.

Amidst the frenzy, a degree of clarity was preserved.

Just as the wires were wrapped around the core searchlight, and the [Lamp Man] was halfway through its rebirth, the process was complete.

A ferocious beast is attacking.

"You! You're still alive!?"

When the Lamp Man with only half a body sensed the aura of the mad beast, he once again used his "Light Burst" ability, trying to buy as much time as possible for his body to fully heal.

When light exceeding 100,000 lumens was released from his body, Abel curled up into a ball and forcibly blocked it with the ' Beast Armor ' covering his body.

Sizzle!

Some of the Beast Armor evaporated immediately under such light.

But Abel did not stop at all, ignoring the pain, forcibly blocking the Light Burst, and approaching the Lamp Man who had not yet formed.

"Void Claws"

Each cable used to construct the Lamp Man's body was cut to a length not exceeding 1cm.

The Lamp Man, who was about to be resurrected, was completely shredded.

At the critical moment, Han Dong shouted with all his might, "Abel... give me the searchlight!!!"

Abel, still somewhat conscious, successfully received the message, pulled out a small searchlight from the Depths of the cable with one claw, and quickly threw it to Han Dong beside him.

The moment the searchlight was caught by Han Dong's palm.

A tentacle ignored the searchlight cover and extended directly into the interior, polluting, corroding, and annihilating the main consciousness of the "Lamp Man".

The park manager, "Lamp Man," is dead!
