Six-Armed Serpent Demon

Page 24

The bear, standing beside its owner, looked up at the bear cub nestled in its owner's large arms, puzzled, and suddenly felt a little wronged:

"Gurgle, gurgle"

"Okay, okay, don't throw a tantrum."

With her emerald-like vertical pupils, she casually glanced at the lizardmen on both sides of the bridge and said to them in a coaxing tone, as if she were talking to a child, "The takeout is here."

Chapter 27 New Identity

The wind on the stone bridge was cold and strong, much less so than in the valley below.

So before making his move, the gray-scaled lizardman Lokuhame subconsciously blinked his yellow eyes.

After blinking, he realized that the whole world was different.

As arranged beforehand, Lokuhame was the only one who could personally take the head; the other seven companions were merely there to block both sides of the bridge to prevent the snake-woman from escaping.

Lokuhame trembled all over, his mouth agape.

His gaze passed over the snake-woman in the center of the bridge, staring blankly at the other end of the stone bridge. The five companions blocking the snake-woman's retreat were intertwined in a way he couldn't understand, forming a large, bizarrely shaped ball of flesh and blood.

--what happened?

He heard his companions on both sides start vomiting.

The six-armed snake demon hugged Xiong Gu with its six arms, kneading its big face, without turning around to check the results of the battle.

In the battle at Yamaguchi Camp, she absorbed the souls of Vice Admiral Cons and hundreds of soldiers, and the benefits she gained seemed to extend beyond just the ability to heal quickly.

The surging demonic power within him amplified the power of the spell-like ability "Mind Control" to an unprecedented level.

Just moments ago, with a mere thought and a slight exertion of force, the five lizardmen behind her collided with each other at lightning speed. In that single impact, their bones snapped, limbs intertwined and pierced each other's chests and abdomens, broken bones piercing their flesh. The scene presented was utterly inappropriate for children.

She looked inward into her own spiritual world.

The souls of the five lizardmen formed dim specks of light and were sucked into the huge blue-purple disc without any resistance. As the disc slowly rotated, they disappeared without a trace.

Undoubtedly, the demonic body was repaired once again as it continued to absorb souls.

The previously visible, nearly shattered magic core is now enveloped and obscured by a circular darkness.

The six-armed serpent demon could not sense the progress of her own demon core's recovery, but now she knew she could cast Mind Control more times.

Kill them, Raphael.

She rubbed Xiong Gu's head and gave instructions to the sunglasses-wearing bodyguard, the Terrorclaw Monster.

"Raphael" is the name the Reborn gave to the Terrorclaw.

The Deinonychus's appearance—with its sunglasses, eye straps, and shell—reminded her of an old animated series, *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*, where the four mutated turtle protagonists all wore eye straps and carried shells. It looked somewhat like the Deinonychus. Furthermore, Raphael, one of the turtle protagonists, used a ninja dagger, which also resembled the Deinonychus's two large claws.

Upon receiving the order, the tall and mighty Raphael charged forward without a word.

Go straight for Lokuhame in the middle.

The headhunter captain, Lokuhame, reacted instantly. His yellow eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he swung his obsidian machete with both hands, aiming a blow at Raphael's head.

Raphael didn't even dodge; he simply shifted his body slightly to the side, using the thick armor on his shoulders and back to take the hit head-on.

The obsidian greatsword struck the thick shell on the Devilclaw's back, sending sparks flying.

Raphael was unharmed. The carapace on the Deinonychus's back was far thicker than the Grayscale Lizardmen had anticipated, and the curvature of the carapace's surface also absorbed a large portion of the force.

In that instant, the heavily armored thug in sunglasses rushed up to Lokuhame, his face pressed against the lizardman's.

The excruciating pain in his chest and abdomen caused Lokuhamme to scream out in agony.

The dinosaur's sharp claws easily tore through the lizardman's scales and flesh, pierced his body, and hooked and twisted his internal organs and spine!

But that wasn't the end of it. The lizard man could only manage a half-shout before he ran out of breath: its vulture-like beak bit down on Lokuhame's side of the neck, shoulder and throat.

Raphael, the Devilclaw Monster, seized the opportunity to grab Lokuhame and, with his superior weight and size, pressed the lizardman downwards.

Lokuhame struggled desperately, but he was no match for Raphael's monstrous strength, and his spine creaked as it was pressed down.

The two lizardmen next to them realized what was happening and, in a panic, immediately used their weapons to slash at Raphael, who was pinning Lokuhame down.

Raphael ignored everything else, focusing solely on striking Lokuhame beneath him. The clubs and stone axes that struck its carapace were like mere tickles. With a "crack," the lizardman headhunter let out a wail as his back pressed against his own rear. Raphael had broken his back.

The dinosaur released the dying lizardman, got up and pounced on the next one, doing the same thing again.

The last lizardman, seeing yet another companion brutally crushed by the Devilclaw monster, was filled with rage and screamed. He then turned and leaped gracefully into the water, jumping off the stone bridge.

This is the fastest way to escape back to the valley.

The lizardman breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the shimmering river rapidly approaching in his field of vision.

However, the next second, it was horrified to find that its body began to fly upwards uncontrollably.

The lizardman screamed and flew backwards back onto the stone bridge.

Under the mind control of the six-armed serpent demon, its body twisted into an awkward pose reminiscent of the "JoJo pose" from its previous comic book, and it lay flat in this pose in front of the six-armed serpent demon.

A soft "coo-coo" sound reached my ears.

Before his vision went dark, the last thing the lizardman saw was a beak with its mouth wide open, about to bite his head.

The six-armed serpent demon put down the struggling bear cub that was trying to get down and fight with it for food, and leisurely swam over to Lokuhame's side.

The lizardman headhunter captain, whose spine had been broken, lay on the ground howling in pain, yet he was not going to die anytime soon.

It's hard to define whether Lokuhame's posture is lying down or prone: his hands and feet are twisted in an odd way, his lower body is prone on the ground, and his upper body is lying on his back, resting on his buttocks and thighs.

Lokuhame cried out weakly, "Help, help..."

The excruciating pain made him lose his senses.

In a daze, the headhunter captain saw before his eyes the trophies he had previously severed—the two scaleless creatures who had fallen into the water with the carriage and then escaped. They lay dying on the riverbank, and when they saw him appear, their eyes seemed to light up.

When they asked him for help, it seemed they were pleading in the same way:

"Help, help me, help me, I don't want to die..."

And he, back then, was just as cold-blooded as this snake-woman now, unmoved by their pleas, preoccupied with checking their belongings...

The six-armed serpent demon used his mind to remotely pull off the dimensional bag from Lokuhame's belt and manipulate it to fly into his palm.

This is quite a peculiar item.

She curiously examined the dimensional bag in her hand.

This dimensional bag is made of the skin of an unknown creature; it's incredibly soft and warm to the touch. The stitches are finer than those on industrial products from my previous life. One corner of the bag bears a beautiful floral pattern: two overlapping letters surrounded by a floral vine, on which three rosebuds are about to bloom.

She muttered to herself, "How could the natives of a lizardman tribe possess such exquisite human artifacts?"

I opened the dimensional bag and checked everything one by one:

"Dried meat, broken bird eggs... This tooth necklace is nice, looks like it's from a shark? That means it's not far from the sea... Ugh, it stinks! This wild boar hide wasn't properly tanned, the workmanship is so rusty... It's worthless."

She casually tossed the junk aside with a look of disgust.

However, Xiong Gu and Gu Xiong, after finishing their "takeout" for the day, curiously went over to look at the things their owner had thrown away.

"Ok?"

She took a large ring out of her dimensional bag.

This is a ring made of mithril. It is as light as a feather, entirely silver-white, and faintly shimmers with a starlight-like halo. The ring face is wide and large, with a mark on it that is exactly the same as the pattern on the corner of the dimensional bag.

This is a wax seal ring.

This is how sealing wax rings are used:

First, cut a piece of the sealing wax made from pine resin and paraffin wax and put it in a spoon. Heat it until the sealing wax melts into a wax paste. Then pour the wax paste onto the area of ​​the envelope or document that needs to be sealed, press the ring face onto it, and leave it until the wax paste cools. Then remove the ring. In this way, the pattern on the ring face will be imprinted on the solidified sealing wax.

Only nobles or the wealthy could own and use such things.

Their rings are engraved with the family crest or their own monogram, which are then stamped on the sealing wax of official documents and letters to indicate their identity and to express the formality and solemnity of the sealed documents and letters.

The six-armed serpent demon discovered that the ring was also a magical item.

The wax seal facet engraved with floral vines and letters can be removed, revealing another facet underneath, which is a large white cat's eye stone.

This is an entropy light reflection ring.

It provides protection against ranged attacks for a mobile wearer. As long as the wearer remains in motion, the ring generates a distorting force field, protecting the wearer like an entropy shield spell. All ranged attacks aimed at the wearer become difficult to hit.

If the wearer is also equipped with magical items that increase movement speed, the force field's protective power will be even stronger.

The six-armed serpent demon put away the ring.

She once again took out the items stored by the lizardman from her dimensional bag and fell silent.

This time, it was two faces with their hair still attached.

The edges of the skin were very rough, as if it had been cut from a human face.

The lizard people's leather tanning technique is very poor. They don't know to remove the flesh attached to the skin before tanning it. These two human faces are already smelling just like the previous wild boar skin.

One of the photos was so badly damaged that it was impossible to identify the person; only a head of short brown hair could be seen, suggesting it was a man. The other photo was relatively well-preserved, and the face belonged to a red-haired woman in her early twenties.

The six-armed serpent demon stared at the human face in silence.

Just then, a faint moan came from beneath him: "Help..."

So she lowered her head and peered through the gap in her broad chest at the lizardman who was lying on his back.

An eerie chorus echoed in Lokuhamme's mind:

[Where did this, this, and this come from?]

【Help】

[Tell me, and you will be saved] Her voice, even more intimate and gentle, carried an indescribable allure, echoing in his skull and stirring up a tingling, pleasurable sensation that could separate his soul from his body.

【...】

The urge to confide overwhelmed the lizard-man headhunter's sanity. Lokuhame eagerly recounted the entire headhunting operation to her, down to the smallest detail. This nearly exhausted the last bit of energy in his brain.

She thanked him: "Thank you."

Lokuhame let out a long sigh of relief. Hearing her voice, the excruciating pain that had been tormenting him seemed insignificant.

Just then, a loud "bang" was heard.

The lizardman blinked his yellow eyes blankly.

The broken spine caused him to feel indescribable pain again.

The lizardman turned his head with difficulty and saw the huge bronze armor that had been binding the snake-woman's chest crash down next to his head.

He stared intently as the snake-woman standing there underwent some kind of change.

The snake-woman's body is shrinking.

The snake's tail twisted and gradually split into two, which then became two legs. The jet-black scales gradually contracted, one by one burrowing back into its smooth, jade-like skin.

In less than ten seconds, the giant six-armed snake-bodied female demon disappeared.

Instead, there was a naked red-haired woman kneeling on one knee.

The moment he saw her, the charm magic that had been affecting Lokuhamme vanished without a trace.

The lizardman headhunter's yellow eyes nearly bled: This red-haired woman...it was her, the scaleless one whose head he had cut off on the beach!

The six-armed snake demon, who had transformed his mortal body into the original form of the face, stood up expressionlessly.

This person is about 1.8 meters tall and has a slender yet strong build.

The moment the transformation was complete, the fragmented memories retrieved from the original owner's flesh told her that this was once the body of a paladin.

The female paladin fell in love with her poor-born servant.

However, the two were not a good match in terms of social status, and her family had already arranged a marriage for her.

The two agreed to elope together.

The two who fought their way out were exhausted.

However, on the way, the carriage went out of control and fell off the stone bridge.

then…

She raised a snow-white jade foot and gently placed it on the neck of the dying lizardman.

He gazed at him calmly, gradually increasing the pressure with the balls of his feet.

【Thank you】
