"Heh heh, little beauty, come here and be good."
Cerberus grinned viciously, his three heads hideous as he reached out with a huge hand to seize Lilia.
The guards who had been protecting Lilia saw that all was lost. Even the White Elephant King and the Purple Rhino King were dead. They immediately scattered, putting distance between themselves and Lilia.
Only one guard gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Lilia, run! Go to Lord Doomsday Blood Butcher's Doomsday City. You'll be safest there."
This guard was no weakling either; he had reached the Third Beastification Form. Unfortunately, Cerberus was a formidable fighter in the Fourth Beastification Form. With a single bite, he all but severed the guard's neck. Blood sprayed, and its stench rose into the air.
"Heh heh, you can't escape!"
Cerberus grabbed Lilia, a lecherous gleam flashing through his eyes. He had always enjoyed defiling women, and Lilia particularly appealed to him. But to make up for his earlier failure, he could only capture her and offer her to Merlin.
At that moment, Merlin had just absorbed all the blood in the Purple Rhino King's body. His body grew even larger, truly becoming that of an Ancient Behemoth. Yet Merlin felt that this was nowhere near his limit. If he unleashed his full power, his body would grow even larger, surpassing a castle or even a mountain.
However, he still needed vast amounts of energy. After devouring the blood energy of both the White Elephant King and the Purple Rhino King, Merlin discovered that it still was not enough. Bringing his Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon to Full Beastification seemed to require several times the energy needed by an ordinary person's behemoth bloodline.
"Deputy leader, I've captured Lilia for you. Heh heh. You can enjoy her to your heart's content."
