Ivan frowned deeply when he heard the voice; it was like that of a four-year-old little girl who had just become fluent in speech, very eager to say as many words as possible.

His eyes narrowed as he fixed his gaze on the cloud of dust, waiting for it to settle; two bright red glowing eyes gazed back at him from within the cloud of dust.

“Misters, do you not like my Village?”

“Are you bad people? We promise to be good, so please don’t hurt us”

” You can’t leave without eating, Mother will be offended. She said to feed all visitors”

“Misters please be kind and not hurt us?”

The cute voice kept shouting as the cloud of dust gradually settled, revealing the horror that was making such a noise.

The eyes of the group shrank, and every single one of them took a step back; even Ivan wasn’t able to maintain steeze this time.

The so-called village head was an embodiment of abominations!

Body made from twisted bones and tangled flesh in a very mind-troubling manner, a face featuring that of three people screaming at the same time but their screams couldn’t be heard, limbs made from folding rotting flesh with gigantic blisters that would pour out tiny worms upon popping, and chest that wriggled continuously as if snakes were struggling to come out.

This so-called village head was the most disgusting-looking monster that the five of them had ever seen in their lives!

On top of its head, the bonfire was still burning ever so quietly and a stick with the head of a little girl attached to it was standing in the middle of the bonfire with two glowing red eyes and a twisted smile on her bloody face.

“I understand now! The words that these monsters are saying are recorded words of people they devoured!” Ralph suddenly exclaimed at this moment, a look of rage formed on his face as he gazed at the village head who was speaking in a little girl’s voice.

Ivan’s eyes flashed with a mad glint.

If what Ralph said was true, doesn’t that mean that everything the village head has said was said to it by a certain little girl in the distant past? Then, that little girl…

“Clint and Ralph, take on the old man. Glen and Karin, the other one is yours; I’ll handle the village head myself” Ivan ordered, his voice low but chilly. Ralph and Glen, who had known Ivan for a long were able to tell that he was angry right now.

” Yes!”

They all answered before splitting into two groups, Ralph and Clint moved toward the figure with the face of an old man while Karin and Glen went for the other one.

“Travelers, what are you doing with my son? You-you killed him!”

The figure with the face of an old man screamed, its elongated neck twitched violently before tearing open, and countless black spiders landed on the ground before increasing in size, each of the spiders easily reaching the size of a baby hippo.

Their black eyes scattered over their eyes, their long legs pierced the ground with ease, and their bodies were dripping with green liquid that was similar to what came out from the blisters on the monster’s legs.

The spiders immediately rushed at Clint and Ralph after they finished growing in size, turning into a small black tide on the ground.

Both of them instantly prepared, Ralph summoned his undead General first.

The old man in a red robe moved in front of Ralph. The spiders immediately jumped on his robe and tried to tear it to pieces, but their legs were unable to penetrate.

Pah!

Pah!

Pah!

With swift movements, the undead General threw out his hands and punched all of the spiders and they exploded into blood mist.

Sizzling sounds came from the undead General’s fists after eliminating the first wave of spiders, its skin corroded slightly.

“Careful! The green substance of the spiders has a corrosive effect!” Ralph called out and informed everyone before releasing Nexus energy to heal the undead General’s fists.

Just beside Ralph, Clint placed both of his palms on the ground after hearing Ralph’s warning, a large mass of shadow rose from the ground like a riding wave and washed toward the spiders.

The shadow reached the spiders and crashed on them before fussing with their own shadows; this didn’t have any effect until suddenly, the shadows of every spider that was rushing at the Clint rose from the ground and pounced on the spiders before tearing them to shreds.

All of the little spiders were soon dealt with, leaving just the monster itself to face the two.

“Help, help! The travelers are killing people, why doesn’t anyone believe me?!” A shriek rang from the monster with the face of an old man as its arms began to twist violently as well and started stretching to abnormal lengths! Its arms soon grew like vines, coiling on the ground beside it.

Swoosh!

Its body palm suddenly came flying at Ralph like a sudden hook, its speed like that of an arrow released from a crossbow.

Clap!

Just before the palm could touch Ralph, the undead General appeared in front of him and knocked the palm away with a slap.

Clint created a huge shadow spear and hurled it at the monster only for the body of the monster to create a huge mouth of flesh and bones to catch the shadow spear before it dissolved.

Ralph and Clint frowned, this was bound to be an intense fight but they were ready for it!

On Glen’s side.

After splitting up, Glen summoned his white snake and used the ability that he had gained after reaching the True King rank.

Partial transformation!

Just like Karl Owen, who was able to fuse with his shadow panther to assume a different form, letting man and summoned beast fight as one, Glen was now capable of such transformation after reaching the True King rank too!

Although his transformation was only partial and he wasn’t able to fully use the skill like Karl did back then.

Right now, Glen’s head was covered with a white snake mouth. The size was modified just right enough to fit the shape of his head. In front were two horizontal snake eyes that acted as visors for him and allowed him to see.

The snake helmet had an open mouth with two long fangs stretching down, Glen’s lips could be seen through this open mouth.

He had white scales protecting a few parts of his body, such as his chest, stomach, and back. On both hands were white gloves covered in scales, and his fingers were covered by incredibly sharp-looking claws!

A big white snake tail stretched out from the back of his waist, and Glen was able to control it just the way he instructed his snake!

This was Glen’s partial transformation form!

In this form, Glen’s speed increased greatly and he became as nimble as a snake, carrying out maneuvers that he wouldn’t dare before in his body.

The scales were hard enough to resist the attack of a True King as well; he just had to avoid getting hit in an area that was not protected by scales.

Just like the other monster, the one that Glen and Karin were facing was also capable of summoning minions to help it.

But instead of spiders, its body started to bulge and swell before suddenly splitting open and four humanoid monsters with faceless features climbed out from the split.

“No, no! Travelers ate my husband and kids, the old man isn’t crazy!” The voice of the woman cried out from within the monster while the split on its body closed up.

At this time, the four faceless humanoids charged at Glen and Karin, their speed blinding, and they left afterimages everywhere.

But Glen and Karin were not to be outdone.

In his half-transformed form, Glen bent his body forward before shooting out like a bullet.

Zip! Zip! Zip!

Sounds of claws slicing through the air resounded as Glen appeared behind one of the faceless humanoids the next second.

The faceless humanoid froze in place.

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

Multiple white lines suddenly began to appear on the body of the faceless humanoid before it suddenly exploded into pieces with a low ring.

Glen had sliced it with his claws without the faceless humanoid realizing it!
