Look.
The Grimm Royal Family's threats carried about as much weight as "Don't leave after school."
"Heh." Geralt gave a cold laugh.
It wasn't arrogance. He simply wasn't afraid.
Winchester had made enough enemies that their names alone could make people's scalps tingle. If they were going to talk about "harmony above all" just because of some unheard-of Grimm Royal Family, that wouldn't be Winchester's style.
Geralt summoned the Fly King. With the precedent of summoning the Black Goat, the suddenly appearing bizarre vacuum cleaner... well, it was still hard to accept.
At least the Black Goat looked like a proper Goat-Horn Hammer.
What about the Fly King?
A huge fanged mouth, a pink barbed tongue, and two compound eyes.
Most importantly, the moment it saw Monroe and Lolisa, its compound eyes locked onto them. Its tongue swayed back and forth as it buzzed.
—That sound was clearly expressing excitement.
Right, the Fly King had quite an appetite. Meat or vegetables, it ate anything, though it preferred living prey.
The Fly King sucked the Shapeshifter into its mouth in one gulp, then stared at Monroe and Lolisa as if it still wanted more.
The latter two felt a chill shoot from their tailbones to the backs of their heads, especially after witnessing the Fly King devour the Shapeshifter.
A notification appeared in his mind:
[Strength +1 Agility +1 Spirit +1 Constitution +1]
The increases were very evenly distributed, fitting Geralt's understanding of Shapeshifters—other than changing form, their combat ability was mediocre.
Of course.
Combat ability did not represent the amount of destruction a Shapeshifter could cause in human society.
That was probably why the Grimm Royal Family had wanted to save the Shapeshifter.
A bookmark floated in the air.
