Beast

Scarlet Manor - Residence

Han Dong and the maid Julia meet in a secret compartment of the mansion.

He deliberately left a crow on the rooftop to observe the movements of the Earl on the outside.

Having confirmed that the Earl had not brought any trusted confidants or Imperial Guard back to the manor, but only three pets, the plan continued...

Han Dong held a rough map in his hands, hand-drawn by Senior Sister Zhen herself.

It was Han Dong who had Senior Sister Zhen, secretly scouting the mansion and drawing a special map that marked out a particular area of the mansion.

"My lord, how did you obtain this map...? This is a restricted area within the manor; we servants have no permission to enter."

Normally, it is guarded by the Imperial Guard, and even a baron needs to apply in advance to enter.

"Oh, Absolute Restricted Zone?... Senior Sister Zhen is truly amazing. By the way, what kind of place is this? How well sealed off is it?"

"It belongs to the Earl's private place, which is extremely well-sealed, with multiple secret doors and barriers... We, as servants, have no idea what it is used for, and we will never have the right to enter."

Rumor has it that the Earl would bring exceptional slaves into this secluded area for an Embrace ceremony.

There are also rumors that the interior is the Earl's private theater.

After being enslaved and undergoing special training, the slaves will be brought into the theater to perform in a live show.

Because the Earl himself has a very strong tendency to laugh wildly, he needs to release his desire to laugh regularly through various comedies, jokes, or some special activities.

There are also rumors that the "land deeds" for the Scarlet Manor are hidden in a compartment deep inside.

Han Dong was quite satisfied with the information Julia reported, and even included Julia in his list of 'outstanding employees' to some extent. In the future, when she was sent to his manor, she would not be used as an experimental subject, but would be responsible for a series of basic tasks at the manor.

"Perhaps... these rumors are true."

Julia, you should just hide and wait for the war to end.

"Very well... I hope you return in triumph."

The Earl returned to his manor.

The three pets he held in his hands were: [Mixed Beast], [Bone Demon], and [Centipede].

The beast was Abel's target.

As per Han Dong's instructions, Abel switched between the dual forms of an owl and a cheetah throughout the entire process, stealthily flying behind Han Dong as they traversed the battlefield, and has now arrived at the manor at the same time.

Currently, Han Dong is sitting on the edge of the top floor of the mansion, looking quite relaxed.

The Earl's voice could be amplified completely through the Blood Qi within the Scarlet Manor.

"Lord Nicholas, your performance has truly surprised me... To be honest, I initially thought you were here to give away the 'land deeds,' but I didn't expect you to have so many tricks up your sleeve."

In the time that remains, I hope you can bring even more excitement.

The Earl had no intention of chatting with Han Dong... It was exciting, but he also wanted to get rid of Han Dong as soon as possible to avoid a 'low-probability event' from happening.

The chains came loose, and the pet broke free.

The hybrid beast, which had been suppressed to the size of an ordinary wild animal, grew to a length of five meters at a visible speed, and seemed to be able to continue growing, heading towards the top of the mansion.

Meanwhile, the human centipede pet, modeled after the "Thousand-Legged Elder" (with the excellent arms of various kinds of creatures as 'legs', while retaining the hard shell and head of the Elder), also crawled towards the eaves.

Inside the glass dome, a skull-like creature with a spirit-like body wrapped in tattered cloth, called the "Bone Demon," flew towards Han Dong, seemingly capable of unleashing a terrifying mental attack through its horrific skull.

Even for Han Dong alone, the three demonic pets could pose a considerable threat...

The first creature to step onto the roof and come before Han Dong was a hybrid beast that had grown to seven meters tall.

The two were less than three meters apart, which was already within the attack range of the mixed beast.

Han Dong showed no sign of moving, quietly staring at the Mixed Beast Species that exuded a powerful aura and contained a few dragons and various rare and exotic creatures.

It must be said that, as the Earl's first pet, its individual quality is truly exceptional.

Although it was created using advanced splicing technology, it Perfect Fusion various genes together.

The two dragon-like creatures stared at Han Dong and let out a deafening roar!

Instead of biting or breathing through its dragon heads, it split open a much larger mouth covered in tentacles from the center of the beast's two dragon heads.

It attempted to entangle Han Dong's body and forcibly devour him.

Just as the beast's attention was completely focused on Han Dong.

An even more powerful beastly instinct erupted from the side.

Bear type.

It differs from the previous beast-like transformation.

The bear shadow covering Abel was not ordinary beast-like white mist.

The dark aura is mixed in, making the whole thing more realistic and gigantic. Abel himself is also closer to a polar bear, with broad back muscles, arms twice as thick as usual, and white fur.

Additionally, there are gloves worn on both hands to further enhance striking power.

Abel had spoken very little since leaving the city, having waited far too long for this battle... Now that the opportunity had arrived, he was ready to unleash his full power.

"Powerful palm strike"

Transform into bear form and unleash both palms with maximum force at the same time.

The penetrating force, internal energy, and pure bear paw brute strength combined directly pierced through the beast's tough dragon scales, shattering its flesh layer by layer...

The seven-meter-long, several-ton-weight Mixed Beast Species Chromagus was blasted away by Abel's palm strike.

Two pre-prepared iron chains were thrown by Abel, dragging the beast away from the side of the manor before it hit the ground... escaping the main battle area between Han Dong and the Earl, attempting to take the beast down the mountain alone to deal with it.

When the other two pets tried to stop the sudden situation,

A burning sensation washed over me.

Clang, clang~~

Two Hell Chains chains, their surfaces imprinted with hellish emblems and entirely crimson in color, shot out from the roof, binding the centipede and the Bone Demon, using brute force to stop their pursuit.

"Earl, why don't you let my friend play with your favorite puppy for a while? Shall we continue with our 'business' as lords?"

At the eaves.

Besides Han Dong, there was also a bald man who looked like he came from hell.

The Earl frowned slightly at the sight of these Hell Chains; he had never seen Hell System before... but it was precisely this unknown quality that caused the Earl to break into an exaggerated red smile.

"Alright... I just ask that you give me more surprises."

Earl a wave of his hand, two pure silver chains 'grew' from the surface of the silver cross that ran through his left and right wrists, with sharp cone-shaped ends that pierced directly into the bodies of the two pets.

Buzz!!

The Hell Chains wrapped around the pet's body were instantly shattered.

In an instant, the Earl, accompanied by two 'activated' pets, arrived at the rooftop and confronted Han Dong head-on.
