"Goo goo goo... urgh... roar!!"
Tang Chuan was awakened by an extremely bizarre beastly roar.
By the bed, Quintessa immediately explained when she saw him awake, "Master, there's a problem with Nokton. You should go take a look."
Using his Fantasy Attribute, Tang Chuan instantly appeared outside Nokton's room.
The Associated Body was peering through the crack in the door at Nokton, her face full of confusion.
When she saw Tang Chuan suddenly appear, she was not surprised. She merely opened her mouth and silently pointed into Nokton's room.
Nokton, who had originally been lying on the bed, had completely lost his former appearance.
He had swollen up.
Lumps of disgusting spherical flesh had erupted across his face, one side large and the other small. Even the smaller side had expanded more than twice its original size.
His humanoid torso seemed to have undergone a sudden genetic collapse. A twisted extra leg had grown from his right side, planted on the floor like a hand as if trying to prop up his body.
The six pairs of palm-leaf-sized diamond-shaped flesh wings were no longer slender. Some had proliferated into grotesque hands, some had become unidentified rod-like structures, and some had sprouted incomplete heads...
If Tang Chuan had seen this sight some time ago, he might have vomited his guts out.
Although his tolerance had greatly improved by now, his face was still twisted like he was constipated, deeply uncomfortable.
Creak...
He pushed open the door, deliberately making a sound so the collapsing Nokton would notice his arrival.
"Roar... ku... ka!!"
Tang Chuan stiffly nodded. "Kuka kuka, Nokton, you... seem a little off?"
"Pain!!"
The malformed, incomplete head on his shoulder suddenly opened a mouth held together by strands of flesh and let out a soul-piercing roar at Tang Chuan.
Bang!
