In the mountains, we can hear all sorts of calls.

In Stormveil Castle, we can also hear all sorts of shouts.

"Woof woof!" That's the sound of Omen Fatty's Beloved Dog.

"Caw caw—" That was the cry of the Beast Giant Eagle with a knife stuck in its leg.

"No medicine allowed!" This was the earnest instruction of a certain undiscovered Crucible Knight teacher.

"Ughhhh!" That was Godrick's scream.

When the soldiers appeared carrying a large amount of limb-setting materials, You Fei and the others visibly frowned, not expecting a brawl to break out.

But thinking about it carefully, that seems to make sense. Godrick is a Highlord, so there's no need for him to fight them personally. Calling his soldiers over for a group brawl is the best way to go.

Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be quite a few familiar faces among the soldiers. They must be the same ones who had come to chase after them after hearing the commotion, only to be thrown down by the damaged elevator. Now that they were meeting their enemies, their fighting power was probably doubled.

But just when You Fei and his group thought they were about to embark on a massive, life-or-death struggle, something miraculous happened.

Godrick cut off half of what appeared to be an insignificant arm of his!

That's why he makes such pitiful cries like "Ughhh," and you can feel the pain just by hearing those sounds.

Blood gushed out from the severed limb. So the arms that were attached to his back could actually circulate blood?

People might want to complain, "If you're so afraid of pain, why did you cut yourself? You should just cover yourself in armor and max out your defense."

However, everyone knew that the other party wouldn't do this for no reason, so they were all on tenterhooks, and countless possibilities flashed through their minds. The most likely possibility was that doing this would bring an increase in Godrick's strength.

And then they just stood there and watched.

Everyone remained still, none of them going to interrupt Godrick.

After all, everyone really wanted to see what kind of work the other party would put together. Cutting oneself is too ruthless. Standing here and watching is like giving the other party a gift.

"Thud!" That was the sound of a wolf's carcass being chopped in half by Golden Great Axe.

This time, the wolf's corpse didn't bleed anymore, because the blood had long since dried up, indicating that it had been dead for a long time. Alchemy was no longer effective, and there was no other way to make it stand up again except to have the necromancer turn it into Undead Creature.

The soldier carried half of the wolf carcass over like a treasure, while Godrick suppressed his screams and plunged his severed limb into the wolf's corpse.

If an ordinary person did this, they would probably be infected with several kinds of germs the moment their wounds came into contact with each other, but this is a world of magic, so...

"Aww!"

The wolf, which had long been dead, suddenly opened its eyes and let out a wolf howl even more standard than Da Er's. Its fur stood on end as if it had really come to life!

"Eh!" Yi Sha took a step back; the scene before her looked a little eerie!

"So that's what limb reattachment means." Fan En realized. He had always thought that limb reattachment had some deeper meaning, but now it seemed to be just a simple matter of directly assembling the limbs of a corpse onto one's own body and then using the strength of the corpse.

He initially imagined limb reattachment as something absurd, like attaching a limb to the body of a deceased person to capture their soul.

"Interesting. What's the principle behind this?" Aide Jia's eyes gleamed with curiosity. "It seems that wolf has truly come back to life, possessing a vitality that Undead Creature lack and being even more acute than creations resurrected by alchemy."

But regardless of what everyone is speculating about right now, there is no doubt that Godrick's strength has increased since he connected with the wolf corpse!

Because the arm he just used for the splint was a limb that was attached to his back and was almost useless in combat, now that it was attached to the wolf's body, people would have to consider the risk of being bitten twice by the wolf when they were in close combat!

There are countless corpses here that look much more advanced than wolf corpses!

"Alright, the show's over. Let's take him down before he gets any stronger!"

You Fei made the first move, but instead of rushing towards Godrick, she suddenly appeared in front of a soldier.

He's just an ordinary Exiled Soldiers, nothing to talk about or care about. There's no need for You Fei to pay special attention to him.

Because the soldier was holding Great Lobster's head in his hands!

You Fei needs to destroy this thing right now!

Just now, the sight of the Lobster Head triggered unpleasant memories. She immediately recalled the scene in Lake Liurnia where Jia Paer tricked her into picking a small flower, only to have three large rocks next to the flower stand up.

Those three large, upright rocks are the Great Lobster, which adventurers have rated as one of the most dangerous monsters in Lake Liurnia!

"This is the only thing that cannot exist!"

You Fei's spear was wreathed in battle aura, which intertwined with the nearby gale, forming Spiral Storm. With a thrust of his spear forward, the storm instantly surged toward the soldier holding the Great Lobster's head.

But just then, two other gray storms came from the side and blocked her attack without fail!

The newcomer is Exiled Knight!

One Exiled Knight held a sword and shield, while the other gripped a halberd; both were shrouded in storms, exuding an aura of formidable power.

When they saw the group of adventurers, their eyes instantly turned red, and their combat power and prestige soared.

"How come we run into you again?" You Fei scratched her head. These two Exiled Knights were also among the group that had been chasing them. In other words, they had also fallen off the elevator.

"I'm ready to fight you all day long, but first I'll have to destroy that lobster head."

Faced with You Fei's relentless charge towards the Lobster Head, the Exiled Knight sprang into action to stop him, and a fierce battle ensued in the blink of an eye.

You Fei's actions, however, led to something she didn't want to see happen—the soldier rushed toward Godrick with the Lobster Head in his arms, and Greck swiftly severed his arm and stabbed the severed limb into the soldier's body!

Godrick reattached the shrimp's head!

"Oh no!" You Fei shouted quickly, "Everyone, gather together and don't stray too far from him!"

"What?"

People didn't know why, but they did it anyway. In that short moment, Godrick had Wolf Head's head, Lobster Head, Bear Claw, and even an Ogre Arm attached to his body!

The addition of four extra limbs made his figure look even more terrifying, and what was even more terrifying was that soldiers carrying a large amount of other limb materials were lurking around him!

Fan En felt a chill run down his spine at the sight and turned to look at the Small Drake that was lying motionless on the tree.

That thing... it can't be connected, can it?

"Coming right now!" Te Pi, who had seen lobsters before, grabbed Yi Sha next to him as a reminder and ran towards Godrick's side.

"Hmm?" Aide Jia made a strange sound. He was currently charging up his magic and couldn't move freely, so he placed a Magic Shield in front of him.

As the person furthest away from him, he was undoubtedly being targeted by Godrick, or rather, by his Lobster Head.

"Bang!"

A jet of water, far more powerful than High-Pressure Water Cannon, shot out from the Lobster Head and crashed into the Magic Shield in the blink of an eye!

Aide Jia's smile froze, for he suddenly realized that his Magic Shield had cracked open with countless tiny gaps!

Impossible! My protective magic was something my teacher stole, borrowed, and improved upon from Professor Tu Erqi of the Magic Association!

Before he could reinforce the shield, a large amount of water shattered it in the next second, and he was swept away by the water!

"You magic kid!" Te Pi glanced back at him with concern, but when he saw the Lobster Head pointing at him, he chose to continue running.

You Fei had just escaped the Exiled Knight, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the power of the lobster's signature Water Stream Spray attack.

"Why does it feel even more powerful than the lobster from Lake Liurnia?"

Although people from Gong Qiying's hometown always joked that Godrick couldn't beat a lobster, in a real fight, Grik wouldn't be so badly outmatched as to be ashamed of himself.

As a summoned monster, the lobster's strength, or the "numerical value" in Gong Qiying's eyes, is definitely lower than that of the limb-splitting Godrick.

But when its head was reattached to Godrick, its stats were instantly boosted to the same level as Godrick's own!

Suddenly, a frantic thumping sound came from the ground. Fan En, who was engaged in close combat with Godrick, ran into trouble. Caught off guard, he was bitten on the shoulder by Wolf Head, and blood flowed freely.

The Bear Claw that had been attached to the limb also came into play at this moment. The arm unleashed a ferocious attack desire that was almost indistinguishable from that of the original Giant Bear, slapping Fan En several times in an instant!

The sound of bones cracking suddenly rang out in the courtyard. Fan En grunted but did not retreat. Instead, he raised the Saw Cleaver and continued hacking forward.

Hunters are meant to exchange wounds for wounds, to exchange blood for blood, and to heal themselves with the blood of their enemies!

He ducked to avoid the blows of two axes, one large and one small. The Saw Cleaver slashed repeatedly, severing one of Godrick's limbs, but the bone injury was healing rapidly.

But just then, with a "thud," a long sword pierced through his chest!

Looking back, he saw that it was the Troll arm that Godrick had splinted that had picked up the soldier's weapon and stabbed him in the back.

The Troll's arms were much longer than those of an ordinary person, and they were now proving to be of an unexpected use.

"I am coming!"

Yi Sha charged over from afar, swinging her Hunter's Cane. Seeing this, Godrick threw Fan En toward her.

"Huh?" Yi Sha caught Fan En steadily but didn't understand why he did that.

She understood as soon as she applied the Healing Potion to Fan En.

Godrick ripped the Wolf Head off the limb and attached it to the Giant Bear Head. The Giant Bear opened its blood-red maw towards Yi Sha.

"Roar!"

The beast's roar transformed into a tangible, invisible impact, slamming into Yi Sha and Fan En, sending them flying backward!

As the two were sent flying, which coincided with the timing of the Water Stream Spray, the terrifying Great Lobster head was aimed at the two who had not yet landed!

"How did this guy suddenly become so strong?"

You Fei managed to stop the water flow in time, but the unexpectedly powerful water jet almost knocked her weapon out of her hand.

Looking back, he felt his heart and lungs stop.

"My ancestors, this is my power!"

Remove the Bear Claw and replace them with Crab Claw.

They removed the Troll's arm and replaced it with the Great Crow Head that they had somehow acquired.

Remove the Nameless Tarnished Arm and replace it with the head of a giant dog.

On their backs and arms, soldiers brought them Repeating Crossbow identical to those used by the Puppet Soldier, and they were also equipped with a large number of Armor-Piercing Arrows that gleamed coldly.

"My power!"

Godrick raised his Golden Great Axe high, and in that instant, his aura was overwhelming!

You Fei bit her lip, her expression indescribable, and cried out in her heart:

Where did this nightmare Frankenstein's monster come from?!
