Chapter 274: The Netherworld Swamp

Locke and Hathaway had just finished their stay at the hotel when they heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

The old man next to Morgan led a large group of guards and surrounded the entire tavern.

Ever since Morgan left with his injuries, everyone in the tavern had run away.

Everyone knew that Morgan would not let this matter rest.

Even the owner of the tavern had run away with a tier-5 magic crystal.

If the tavern was torn down, with this tier-5 magic crystal, it would not be a total loss.

If it was not torn down, it would be a huge profit to return after the show was over.

As soon as the guards of the castellan’s mansion entered the tavern, Locke had already sensed the bad aura.

The Divine Light Dragon and the Swamp Hydra had already set up an ambush.

Since they had already chosen to attack, there was no reason for them to retreat now.

The moment the guards stepped into the hotel, a long-brewing nebula chain lightning struck down from above.

This was a gift from the castellan, the Thunder Giant, in the mountain city.

The Thunder Giant was a thunder-type Battle Beast. Its fighting style was very wild and unrestrained.

It left a deep impression on Locke.

The Swamp Hydra sensed what Locke was thinking and automatically unlocked the thunder-type ability.

This was the first time it was used on the battlefield and the effect was unexpectedly wonderful.

At least a dozen guards of the castellan’s residence were turned into ashes under this attack.

“Don’t be afraid, charge.”

“Kill the escaped criminal, the daughter of Shang, and seal the hundred households.”

The old man did not expect Locke to have a hidden thunder spell.

There was a Divine Light Dragon and then there was a huge black snake, and now there was a Battle Beast that was good at using thunder.

What was the background of this person? How could there be so many Battle Beasts?

To be able to live for more than a hundred years, the old man was definitely not a reckless person.

He shouted for everyone to charge forward and promised to pay a large sum of money. However, he was at the back of the crowd, quietly observing the situation.

Cloud City was one of the cities out of the city. It was also the main stronghold of the Church of Light.

It was a powerful force in the entire continent.

However, it was not like there were no people that Cloud City could not offend.

For example, the few ancient families.

If Locke really came from these families, then Morgan’s revenge would not be able to be avenged.

Cloud City was the main city.

Although fourth-tier Beastmasters were rare, they were not as valuable as one would imagine.

The reason why the old man could be so arrogant in Cloud City for so many years was because he had clung onto the city lord’s leg and used it to protect the young master.

Now that the young man was injured and his manhood had been cut off, if the old man could not take revenge, Cloud City would not be able to survive.

An old man who was more than 100 years old could not enjoy his old age, but he still had to go out and fight for food with young people. How cruel!

‘For the sake of my old age, please die!’

A ruthless look flashed through the old man’s eyes. He pushed with both hands and an orange-red flame was born. Then, it shot toward the tavern like an arrow leaving the bow.

Now, Locke had been entangled by the guards of the city lord’s mansion.

The old man had used the strange flame to launch a sneak attack from behind.

Locke did not know how powerful the strange flame was. As long as he was not careful, he would be like a maggot that would not rest until he was dead.

In front of the orange-red flame, the thick and heavy stone wall of the tavern was like tofu. A large hole was easily corroded.

The Swamp Hydra was fighting with the guards in the hall.

Suddenly, a rocket shot onto its body and quickly spread out.

‘It’s sticky… Is this Liquid Flame?’

The Swamp Hydra thought for a second, then turned its head around and its throat swelled.

Spat!

A mouthful of thick and smelly black venom was spat out at the orange-red flame.

Then, the flame that was said to never be extinguished was extinguished just like that.

How was that possible!

The old man’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Liquid Flame was the ultimate move of his life-bound Battle Beast, the two-headed chimera.

[ Name: Twin-headed Chimera (complete body)]

[ Attributes: Space, fire ]

[ Rarity: Rank 5]

[ Level: Tier 4, rank 9]

[ Talent: Splash ]

[ Skills: Spatial Movement, space teleportation, Liquid Flame, Firestorm ]

Locke looked at the old man and the information of the old man’s Battle Beast finally appeared.

So, it was a Twin-headed Chimera. No wonder it had two attributes.

The Twin-headed Chimera was a fusion Battle Beast. It was said that it was a product of the dark elves underground.

The wild Chimera was originally a tier 7 Battle Beast that was not weaker than a dragon. It had three heads, which were lion, goat, and wolf.

The three heads had three attributes and its innate skill was magic fusion.

It was just like how Locke’s fusion of fire and wind elves had produced an effect where one plus one was greater than two.

The three chimeras were masters of magic and even dragons did not dare to provoke them.

Later, a male Chimera was captured by the dark elves.

This lewd creature that lived underground wanted to obtain the power of the Chimera’s fusion magic through some dark ritual.

After a period of extremely lustful and chaotic days, the twin-headed Chimera was born.

After the three-headed Chimera escaped, it joined a large group of Battle Beasts and returned to the underground, leveling the entire Dark Elf tribe. However, the Twin-headed Chimera had already spread out.

The Twin-headed Chimera was regarded as a Battle Beast at the level of an Asian dragon. It was very rare to spot it.

Their attributes were very unstable. Most of them grasped the power of fire and water.

However, there were exceptions.

For example, the old man beside Morgan. His chimera had grasped the power of space magic.

After knowing the old man’s background, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Locke hugged Hathaway and first kissed her on the cheek. Then, he snapped his fingers and the Swamp Hydra disappeared in a flash.

“Not good, it’s dangerous!”

The old man had just released Liquid Flame when he felt the intense spatial fluctuations around him.

As he shouted “not good”, he quickly dodged.

A mountain-like monster appeared on the spot. Nine huge heads smashed down like meteor hammers.

The marble street instantly shattered.

Under a mysterious power, the street became soft and slippery as if it was in a swamp.

The Swamp Hydra had just awakened a new skill, Netherworld Swamp.

In the swamp, everyone had to be careful, afraid that they might accidentally fall into it.

However, the Swamp Hydra did not have to worry at all.

Its huge body could glide over the swamp, like a whale swimming in the deep sea.

Not only did it not feel uncomfortable, it was even faster than on land.

The Swamp Hydra could even sneak into the mud and suddenly attack, catching the enemy off guard.

When fighting against experts, it was even more effective to create an advantageous location.

The swamp spell covered a large area, including the entire tavern.

When the swamp spell was used, the old man knew that he was done for.

The city lord’s guards let out terrified screams. One by one, they sank into the waist-deep mud, not daring to move.
