Chapter 38
Chris stuck himself to a nearby wall. Since [Stripping Rhythm] could cause him to repel other objects, then choosing a rhythm that was compatible with him would produce a suction force.
"Just as I thought, something on my body is affecting this so-called Bizarre Scales, causing it to hesitate a bit when facing me" Chris climbed up the wall and stood on top of a roof.
"The Bizarre Scales' rhythm is filled with madness and pain, creatures with this kind of rhythm are nothing but mindless beasts, so how did that Crowmen order it around?" Chris's body flashed to the side.
A thin black thread flashed and disappeared. Chris was constantly breathing to sense his surroundings. Right now, he was walking on a tightrope, one misstep and he would die.
With a flash of dark golden light, the Bizarre Scales jumped out from a certain corner and destroyed the roof Chris was standing on. The Bizarre Scales' body hovered in the air, its movements slowed down, and its face appeared in front of Chris.
It had a humanoid shape, dark golden scales of various colors, mucous membranes under its arms, a long barbed tail behind it, its face was filled with madness, its pale white teeth were intertwined, sticky saliva was dripping down from its mouth.
As soon as the Bizarre Scales landed, its body turned into a dark golden light and disappeared into the alleyway.
"Are these dragon scales?" Chris sensed the extremely discordant rhythm in front of him, filled with madness and irritation, and recalled an adventure he once had.
The wyvern that he defeated with [Deep Rhythm] wasn't exactly the same color, but from the combination of the rhythm, he could tell that the dark golden scales on its body were indeed dragon scales.
"Dragon, damn it, is this the reason why Negri wanted Nala to stay?" Chris instantly understood a lot of things. Negri had discovered the secret that Nala was the daughter of the Dragon a long time ago, so he forced the mother and daughter to stay in Reya all these years in order to research the secret of the Dragon's blood. It seems like Negri's research had achieved some results, and the Bizarre Scales was one of them.
Chris's guess was correct, the Bizarre Scales were the result of Negri's research on the Soul's Blood. The Cauchy hybrids were implanted with the Dragon's blood, but their souls couldn't withstand the dragon's pressure. Under the pressure of the dragon's pressure, the implanted individuals became more and more frenzied until not only did they lose their rationality, but their bodies also mutated under the influence of the Dragon's blood.
These monsters were only wild and irrational beasts, if Negri hadn't researched a way to control them, these monsters would have already been destroyed.
"If that's the case, then the item that can affect the Bizarre Scales …" Chris looked at the pair of teeth hanging on his robe. They were the teeth of the ferocious wyvern.
If the Bizarre Scales hadn't been affected by the wyvern's tooth, causing it to hesitate every time it attacked him, it would've been able to easily crush Chris and kill him if he wasn't careful.
"I wonder how many of these Bizarre Scales there are, but it seems that Negri's accumulated strength is truly terrifying. This ominous evil must be eliminated" with that thought, Chris took out the wyvern's tooth with a flick of his wrist.
"Regardless, I need to get through this crisis first. With the wyvern's tooth, the Bizarre Scales has at least a bit of protection, the one in danger now is the Crowmen that commanded the Bizarre Scales" Chris recalled the black thread that flashed for a brief moment.
"Kill him, Bizarre Scales!" Yadley's voice called out. Chris immediately felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
The dark-golden Bizarre Scales turned into a streak of light and charged towards him. Chris used the wyvern's tooth to block its path and bought himself some time to escape. But right after that, his body stiffened. Next to him, several black threads had completely sealed off his escape route, waiting for Chris to walk right into their trap.
Boom ~ ~ ~
Dust and smoke filled the air as the Bizarre Scales smashed through the roof where Chris was standing a moment ago, leaving a large hole.
The black threads spread from the ground to the surroundings, probing every inch of their surroundings. If one tried to trace the source of these threads, they would find that they were connected to Yadley's fingers.
One-third of his body had been replaced by [Black Crow] germs, the tips of each of his fingers were made from these [Black Crow] germs. These germs were bred to take the shape of threads, capable of easily piercing or cutting through the flesh of living beings as he willed. They were also extremely sensitive, capable of sensing any vibrations in their surroundings.
If these threads pierced through the body, they would quickly spread throughout the enemy's entire body and control them like a puppet. Other than that, many other parts of Yadley's body had been implanted with [Black Crow] germs, it was because of this that he became the strongest of the Crowmen.
"I can't hear a heartbeat, has he been killed by the Bizarre Scales?" Yadley used the threads on his fingertips to sense any movements around him, carrying Lord Negri's order to not allow any mistakes to be made.
"Wait a minute, the Bizarre Scales isn't in a good state …" Yadley could sense that the irritated Bizarre Scales had stepped on a black thread, the vibrations it was causing were a bit too heavy.
Through the slowly settling dust cloud, Yadley could see a person covered in dust lying on top of the Bizarre Scales. Who else could it be other than Chris?
Right before the Bizarre Scales charged at Chris, Chris used [Rhythm] to blow up the Wyvern's Tooth that had been sitting there for a long time. The thick bone dust was blown onto Chris by the wind that the Bizarre Scales stirred up, which was then absorbed by Chris using [Rhythm].
The thick smell of 'dragon' caused the Bizarre Scales to give up on its attack, giving Chris the chance to climb onto its body.
While running, Chris leapt to a different place and exhaled heavily. The Bizarre Scales' body twisted for a bit before collapsing to the ground, coughing up golden blood mixed with bits of internal organs.
After Chris climbed onto the Bizarre Scales' body, he had been continuously using [Deep Rhythm] on it. Even with the Bizarre Scales' monstrous physique, it couldn't withstand the power of its own body attacking its own organs.
"Chris, I didn't think you would be able to kill a Bizarre Scales" Yadley's expression was serious: "But this is the end. To not disturb Sir Negri's slumber, I must kill you right here and now "Yadley's expression became serious:" But this is the end of it.
So as to not disturb Sir Negri's slumber, I must kill you right here and now "
Chris's eyes narrowed, noticing the information in Yadley's words. Sure enough, Negri was wounded and is currently hibernating to recover?
"It doesn't matter" Yadley suddenly laughed. Four dark golden glows of light from the Bizarre Scales landed next to him. Sitting on top of the Bizarre Scales were four black-robed Crowmen, Tesha was among them. She had reequipped herself with a new rapier and was coldly staring at Chris.
Chris looked at the Crowmen and Bizarre Scales surrounding him and smiled bitterly. Against such overwhelming power, there was nothing he could do. After all, he was still human.
