Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 586 Paladin Hybrid

boom!
With a deafening roar, the last knight was blasted off his horse. The old-fashioned armor was no match for the future technology. His chest was a bloody mess, and the knight struggled to pull a vial of medicine from his pouch.

Trembling, he brought it to his lips, but only saw a black light appear.

puff!
The knight was stunned. The next moment, his vision tilted, and blood shot into the air.

He and his armor were sliced ​​apart by Bai Cangshu's hand chop.

Bai Cangshu didn't even glance at the dead white-armored knight. The flesh of an ordinary human was far too fragile for him now.

You have obtained the item: Healing Potion.

[Blood drug (low purity)]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Description: Blood products containing a trace of ancient god's aura, capable of providing excessive life force]

[Effect 1: After use, injuries will be significantly healed]

【Effect 2: After use, you will be corrupted by the ancient gods, and the accumulated corruption will unlock beast transformation】

Bai Cangshu shook the thing. On the other side, the professor put away his weapon. What he saw was almost all that remained were mutilated corpses.

Artoria's killing ability is extremely strong; dealing with ordinary humans of this level is like cutting melons and vegetables.

"The Healing Church is probably using this to bewitch the masses, no, it shouldn't even be called bewitching..."

"According to the revelations I received, in an earlier era, humanity did indeed gain the power to defeat the dragons through blood healing. This is the origin of the Healing Church in this world..."

According to the professor's revelation, the rule of the dragon race in this world did not end with the White King's rebellion, but rather in ancient times when humanity came into contact with... the Ancient Gods!
The origins of the Old Ones are unknown; all that is known is that they were the predecessors of the Healing Church, a group of human sages who received their teachings from the Alps.

They gained the power of blood healing, and from then on, humans were no longer just food for dragons. Humans could use that power to heal themselves and, at a certain stage, transform into [Beast].

Then, another force attacked the black dragon Nidhogg, and the era of the dragons began to end.

The information obtained from the [Tarot - The High Priestess] sequence is conveyed through fragmented images or whispers and murmurs from higher beings.

Therefore, this kind of information is highly dependent on the interpretation of the reincarnators, requiring that the reincarnators in this sequence have a thorough understanding of various worldviews.

The professor is clearly very good at this.

He almost instantly grasped the truth behind the distortion and chaos of this world—a third worldline was hidden beneath the two colliding and distorted worldlines of [Dragon Race] and [Bloodborne].

Those hidden Outer Gods truly brought an end to the Dragon King's era.

As Bai Cangshu listened to the professor's explanation, he had already arrived in front of the completely twisted beast.

The opponent's two arms were completely transformed into the shape of giant scythes, with twisted and hardened flesh, and its head became flat, with its eyes completely moved to the sides.

He kept shaking his head, shouting in a language that no one could understand.

tread, tread, tread...

Bai Cangshu, holding the blood medicine in one hand, walked straight toward the farmer who, according to his mind reading, called himself "Duncan".

"Duncan..."

hum!
Duncan, transformed into a beast, seemed to be provoked by the name, letting out another sharp roar and swinging his hands like scythes at Bai Cangshu.

The blood-red scythe sliced ​​through the air and landed in a slender hand.

*Pfft* *Crack*

Bai Cangshu easily grabbed the opponent's mutated arm with one hand, then twisted it, and with a crack, the bone shattered.

He took a step forward and gently pressed down with his wrist. The beast, whose body was more than two meters tall after its transformation, knelt on the ground with a thud, its form completely suppressed.

Bai Cangshu pried open Duncan's narrow mouth and poured the blood medicine inside.

"Roar... Uh... Ooh"

The strange howls and whimpers carried very far, as if Duncan's soul was struggling in agony.

Bai Cangshu could sense that the opponent's beast-like transformation was deepening, and its flesh and blood were beginning to proliferate in a more twisted form.

This erratic and aesthetically pleasing growth pattern is completely different from the evolution of humans or other organisms. It's as if excess flesh and blood, with nowhere to accumulate, have begun to coagulate and grow haphazardly.

Or perhaps Duncan's soul was too weak to resist the corruption of the [Ancient God's Blood], so this proliferation of flesh and blood was actually a manifestation of power going out of control.

It's similar to some kind of flawed evolution.

Bai Cangshu narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Duncan's beast-like transformation deepen, with scale-like structures beginning to appear on his body.

Artoria, however, silently turned around and came to stand behind Bai Cangshu, where the black and red holy sword pillar lay on the ground.

hum!
A magical shockwave spread outwards, sweeping across a space of nearly a thousand meters. The grassland seemed to be completely severed in an instant, revealing a huge fan-shaped area.

boom!
A person wearing a gray robe was thrown out by the shockwave.

He carried a large sword on his back, as wide as a hand, with a blade over a meter long.

The professor's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately spoke.

"Word of Power: Dark Illumination, he is a hybrid!"

He was now enjoying the benefits of teaming up with monsters. These dangerous enemies were recognized before he even got close. The brutal Black Saber and the even more brutal Tao Pai Pai gave him a great sense of security.

Therefore, the professor can recklessly reveal the other party's information without worrying about attracting their hatred or being prioritized for elimination.

Artoria drew her sword with one hand, tilting her head slightly to look at Bai Cangshu. She did not sense any killing intent from this so-called hybrid.

Roar!
Duncan let out an even more painful roar. A horn protruded from the center of his flat head. That thing was probably a mutation of his skull. Bai Cangshu used the Transparent World to sense the strange structure where the left and right hemispheres of the brain had been completely separated due to the changes in the skull.

The combination of the so-called blood of ancient gods and ordinary humans is becoming increasingly novel.

"You're hunters too, why torture him like this!"

"Before he turned into this, this guy was probably just a pitiful person."

The man carrying a giant sword lifted his cloak, revealing long golden hair and a muscular build far exceeding that of ordinary humans. He exuded an almost pungent dragon-like aura.

A hybrid, and one with a very high concentration of bloodline, he threw off his gray cloak, dragged his greatsword with one hand, and walked step by step toward Artoria.

“I am Etoris, the knight of Saintess Serafina, and I will not allow you to continue to trample on the souls of the suffering.”

He took increasingly larger strides, chanting Serafina's name, a powerful will stirring within him, and Bai Cangshu suddenly turned around.

Looking at this half-breed who called himself Etoris, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Etoris took a step forward, and the ground cracked open with a bang!

Etoris leaped high into the air, covering hundreds of meters in a single stride. He raised his greatsword high with both hands, unleashing a domineering aura, and slashed down at Artoria's head.

But the next moment, thanks to the superior physical qualities and dynamic vision of a hybrid, he noticed a sound of air breaking, almost a mournful cry.

Then came a violent shockwave.

As Etoris's pupils trembled, a blurry figure materialized before him, and a terrifying force appeared on his chest first.

Buzz~ Boom!
Bai Cangshu's fist froze a meter in front of Etoris, the air caved in, the nearly liquefied air was twisted by the violent force and then snapped.

The blazing white air exploded in an instant, like an invisible dragon unleashing a terrifying breath at close range.

With a loud bang, Etoris slammed into the ground at a speed far greater than when it flew in.

He struggled for a moment, but his ribs had already pierced his internal organs, and his strength was rapidly fading away.

In the blur, he heard a voice.

"Find some blood potions on those knights. I have a feeling this guy will be a good test subject."

His heart... is very strong~

Experimental subject?
Heart?
This group is neither the Ash Hunters, nor the secret organization that hunts out-of-control hybrids and beasts...

His consciousness quickly faded into darkness, and his last sensation was the stench of some liquid being poured into his mouth.
