Violent Bear Helt came up to Merlin and laughed. "Leo, the minister personally named you as our Combat Division's new deputy leader. You should know that I haven't had a deputy all these years. No one was worthy of serving as my deputy, but you're not bad. If I'm not mistaken, you're a parasite, aren't you? And your host is the high-tier behemoth, the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon!"
Hert was exceptionally observant and saw through Merlin's background at once. As expected of someone with a mid-rank giant beast bloodline who had achieved full beastification, he was several times stronger than even Black Bat.
"What? The deputy leader is a parasite, and his host is a high-tier behemoth? How does he withstand the backlash from the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon's will?"
Even seeing Merlin hold his own against Hert might not have shocked the others so much. Merlin could actually withstand the will of the high-tier behemoth, the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon.
After all, parasites were not particularly rare, but very few started by taking a high-tier behemoth as their host and reached the fourth beastification form without dying from the backlash.
As for parasites who reached full beastification, they could be counted on one hand.
That was why Isha and the others were so astonished.
"All right, take the deputy leader around our Combat Division and help him get acquainted."
Violent Bear Helt seemed quite welcoming toward Merlin. Naturally, Merlin's strength had earned Hert's respect. With the fourth form of a high-tier behemoth, Merlin could fully rival someone with a low-tier behemoth who had achieved full beastification. Wherever he went, he would count as a major powerhouse. Even in the Combat Division, he was a formidable presence second only to Hert.
"Hehe, leader, let me show the deputy leader around our Combat Division."
