Lord of Mysterious Wizard

Chapter 242: Chapter 242 I’ll Play with You (2/4!)

[Extraordinary Creature: Yellow Hound (Old).]

[State: Normal.]

[Information Fragment One: A believer of the Shepherd Sect, member of the Hound Corps, it has passed the observation period, the Extraordinary Power within its body has become stable, and relying solely on its power, it can kill at least three of the same Yellow Hounds (New), and it also has a certain degree of immortality, able to slowly resurrect as long as its body remains.]

[Information Fragment Two: It is a pervert that enjoys playing “escape games”.]

…

“An old hound indeed seems far stronger than the new ones.”

Tang Qi and Poli watched the avidly-playing old Yellow Hound below them under the night sky.

With its strength, that ordinary human couple had no power to resist; even with firearms in hand, they would likely struggle to escape death.

The two seemed to realize this as well, they couldn’t run any longer.

With a thud, the brunette girl among the couple fell, her boyfriend who was holding her immediately followed, tumbling together.

Suppressed sobs came from the girl’s mouth, her body full of dirt and her exposed skin scratched all over; she had no strength left, just pushing her boyfriend, urging him to run faster, perhaps with her sacrifice, her boyfriend could survive.

But the dark-haired young man refused to listen, holding his girlfriend tightly, tears streaming down his face, showing a face filled with despair, he apologized to the brunette girl, “Jenny, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have brought you to this damned place.”

After saying that, the dark-haired young man let out a low growl from his throat, turned and charged towards the giant-like Yellow Hound.

It was commendable bravery, but the scene looked somewhat comical.

Like a little puppy charging at a drooling, ravenous wolf, the outcome seemed to have been predetermined.

Because the Yellow Hound had finally had its fill of play.

To be precise, it was provoked; the sight it least liked to see was exactly the one before it.

In its past “escape games,” if there was a single participant, there wasn’t much fun—it preferred to target a large group of humans for a group escape game, then it could watch from behind as these despicable humans engaged in cunning and brutal struggles with each other.

Their ugliness would continually come to light, satisfying its desires.

But every once in a while, there would also be touching scenes, like the one just now.

“Roar~”

The giant roared in anger, vile saliva spraying forth; it swung its terrifying arms like a mutated Wild Boar, charging towards the couple.

While ravaging the ground, it bellowed with anger, “No, it shouldn’t be like this.”

“You two ugly lambs, why don’t you follow Mr. Como’s orders properly? In these life-and-death moments, you two should be fighting amongst yourselves, dragging each other down, abandoning one another; that’s the real way to play the game.”

“I’m going to torture you ferociously, disgusting love, disgusting things.”

“Boom”

As it raged, the Yellow Hound named Como had already appeared in front of the dark-haired young man; its dreadful palm closing in, seemingly ready to crush the young man’s head on the spot. Yet the dark-haired young man, already petrified by the behemoth’s charge, was frozen in terror.

Ordinary people when facing Transcendents, are just that fragile.

Just as the young man seemed about to die, desperation filled the brunette girl’s eyes.

But at that moment, a voice suddenly emerged.

“Big guy, do you hate love so much because you’ve been hurt before?”

“Buzz”

Accompanying that voice was a human figure.

Out of nowhere, with no warning, he appeared in front of the dark-haired young man, facing Como, the perverted Hound.

Como’s arm halted mid-air, while the horrifying “meat tumors” on its body trembled as if bursting with Strange Power, but it was to no avail; it couldn’t swing any further.

What worried Mr. Como even more was that, at this moment, his body suddenly became immovable.

As if nailed to the ground, he was even unable to lower his head.

“Who are you?”

“What have you done?”

“I am a Hound of the Shepherd Sect; if you don’t want to provoke the Hound Corps, it’s best not to interfere with my game. If you know these two, perhaps I could end this game early out of respect for a fellow Transcendent. You can take them away.”

Mr. Como’s response and the sudden speech made Tang Qi unable to help but flash a move in his expression, a trace of surprise sweeping through his eyes.

He had now met three Hounds in a row. The first Yellow Hound looked like a hulking brute, and the Purple Hound in the form of a little girl seemed sinister and cruel, but did not show much intelligence.

However, it was this poor-looking old Yellow Hound that, as Tang Qi locked eyes with its bulging pair, he clearly saw the violence inside rapidly dissipating, being replaced by a cunning that was completely at odds with its physical form.

Tang Qi narrowed his eyes and flicked his hand nonchalantly, taking control of the couple’s weakened bodies, accelerating the secretion of adrenaline and swiftly running them out of the forest.

Afterward, he turned his gaze back to Mr. Como and said indifferently, “So you enjoy playing hunting games? How about… I play with you instead!”

“Snap”

After a click of his fingers, Mr. Como found he could move his body again.

“Now, run. If you stop, I’ll catch you. Of course, I won’t eat you—that’d be disgusting—but I will take your life as well as your soul. Believe me, it’s the real soul.”

“Boom~”

As Tang Qi spoke, Mr. Como’s mind raced.

Standing next to this seemingly frail guy, he felt like a giant compared to a child, as if he could crush him with a simple stretch of the hand.

But the alarm bells in its heart were almost ringing out loud, driving it to flee as fast as it could.

This feeling was almost like facing those two freaks, Robert and Lance.

To flee?

Or to kill?

Torn between the two options, Mr. Como made a decision.

The “meat tumors” on its body nearly all trembled at once and then quickly shrank, followed by a layer of yellow fat-like substance being secreted, completely enveloping it. After a muffled sound, it turned into a streak of yellow light and dashed out.

The speed displayed in that instant even surpassed the previous Purple Hound.

In the blink of an eye, it reached the edge of the forest.

Just as it was about to escape to safety, Mr. Como wasn’t the slightest bit relaxed, but his mind was already calculating how to report back to Robert and Lance.

It was only then that Tang Qi leisurely said, “It seems that compared to new Hounds, an old Hound has a few more tricks up its sleeve, probably more resilient, I guess.”

“Hum”

As his voice fell, a mist suddenly stretched out from within the forest, moving faster than the eye could perceive. The next moment Mr. Como saw was not the scenery outside the forest, but a seemingly fragile fist.

Bang!

A tremendous force erupted at that moment; Mr. Como felt nothing as its body disintegrated, turning into countless streams of fat that shot towards a specific direction. But before they could land, Red Flames spread and instantly burnt the fat clean, and the small entities hidden inside couldn’t even utilize their Resurrection ability before they were completely killed amidst their wails.

“Sigh”

A hand wrapped in golden Light Flames reached out and devoured the freshly risen ugly Resentful Soul.

“It appears not.”

Uttering the sentence lightly, Tang Qi looked at himself indifferently, and noticed that the progress bar for the “Monster Power Technique” skill had advanced a bit more.

Perhaps after reaching a certain limit, it might be possible to undergo the first integration with the Fighting Skill?
