Can a Frankenstein's monster be an adventurer?

Chapter 123 Super Transformation

Having suffered the inconvenience of Ga Gu suddenly unleashing [War Stomp], Luo Lan's mind raced.

With [True Sight] activated, I shifted my gaze from Gagu to the other side of the mine.

In the area covered by Emily's "Slippery Prank," four or five deformed goblins, their bodies covered in a thin layer of ice, were still struggling with their hands and feet.

They roared, trying to stand up, their deformed, long fingernails scratching at the thin ice, but they could only spin around in place.

[A group of enemies trapped in place, and an elite monster that can't distinguish friend from foe and has wide-area damage skills—what a coincidence!]

With an idea forming in his mind, Luo Lan crouched down and, like a cheetah, leaped out of the deep pit he had created. Without looking back, he sprinted forward, avoiding the center of Ga Gu's next [War Stomp] attack range.

With a cunning, zigzagging gait, Luo Lan led the ten-meter-tall behemoth, whose brain had been burned by the [Blood Python], towards a nearby mining area inhabited by mutated goblins.

"Gah! The canned food is here!"

Luo Lan even swung his broadsword at Ga Gu, the holy light-enchanted blade leaving a streak of light in the air.

Ga Gu's blood-red single eye locked onto the silver light of the broadsword. His ten-meter-tall body turned towards the direction Luo Lan was running and began to stride.

"Stomp! Stomp! Kill them!!"

With each step Ga Gu took, the dark red tattoos on his legs flashed once, and the rock beneath his feet cracked open.

"Thump. Thump. Clang—"

With each step the behemoth took, the entire mine trembled in its wake.

Crimson cracks spread out from the center of Ga Gu's big foot, sending rubble and dust flying everywhere.

Luo Lan's sprinting route drew an arc in Ga Gu's vision, leading the ten-meter-tall behemoth step by step into […].

The scope of the "Slippery Prank" coverage.

"Thump."

The red cracks of the "War Trample" exploded, and the rocky ground beneath shattered.

The shockwave spread outwards from the center of Gagu's foot, and the deformed goblins struggling on the ground absorbed all the shock.

The most recent aberrant goblin didn't even have a chance to make a sound.

Its distorted and swollen body was first bounced half a foot up in the shockwave, and then it was wrapped in shattered rocks and slammed back to the ground.

Ga Gu's foot landed next.

"puff."

The three-meter-tall mutated goblin exploded under the giant, bone-and-flesh-like foot, its red and green bodily fluids splattering from the edge of the foot, mixed with fragments of bone and internal organs.

"Thump."

In the second step, another unfortunate aberration goblin suffered the consequences.

This mutated goblin didn't even leave behind a human form.

The swollen muscles and bones were crushed into a thin puddle of mud under the trampling of [War Trample], squeezing out from between the toes of the bony toes.

"Pfft. Pfft. Pfft—"

Gagu chased after Luo Lan's afterimage, stepping over the mangled remains of the mutated goblin one step at a time, completely unaware of what he was crushing under his feet.

At this moment, all that remained in Ga Gu's field of vision was that tin can that he couldn't hit no matter what.

All the mutated goblins controlled by the "Slippery Prank" turned into red and green stains one by one under the feet of the giant.

Behind the crack in the stone pillar, the goblin shaman witnessed everything.

It watched as the deformed goblins it had painstakingly cultivated turned into rotten mud under Gagu's feet, one after another.

Those were his companions, proof of the great being's grace, and the foundation for restarting the ritual at the Bone Altar.

Everything is gone.

"Gah-gu—you bastard—"

The goblin shaman's angry curses shattered into sobs.

But before the goblin shaman could feel regret or sadness, Emily's attack followed immediately.

Left with no other choice, the goblin shaman could only use all his remaining strength to escape.

On the other side, after using Ga Gu's feet to crush all the mutated goblins into a pulp, Luo Lan stopped.

Luo Lan turned around, neither retreating nor dodging, his Holy Light Broadsword hanging at his side, staring at the swaying mountain of flesh that was getting closer and closer.

Ga Gu paused for a moment, his blood-red single eye fixed on Luo Lan, his walnut-sized brain turning twice.

[The tin can has stopped running. Why hasn't it stopped running?]

Ga Gu couldn't understand it.

But not understanding it doesn't stop it from lifting its foot.

"Crunch, stomp—!"

The fleshy right leg rose, and the crimson light of the savage tattoo spread from the thigh to the sole of the foot. The shockwave of [War Stomp] was even more intense than before.

The rocky ground exploded from the center of Ga Gu's stomp, sending shards of rock flying. The ground beneath Luo Lan's feet lifted up, once again hurling him and his armor into the air.

Having left the ground, under the influence of weightlessness, Luo Lan seemed to have revealed a weakness once again.

Driven by his fighting instincts, Gagu immediately caught sight of this familiar scene.

They resorted to the same old trick.

He swung his right arm in a wide arc, aiming at the metal can that had lost its footing in mid-air.

The massive left arm, twice as thick as a stone pillar, slammed down on Luo Lan again, accompanied by a fierce wind that tore through the air.

Faced with the massive wall of flesh rapidly approaching, Luo Lan could no longer choose to confront it head-on, but being in mid-air, it seemed difficult to dodge.

Without any leverage points, Luo Lan created them.

The Transformation rune of the T-800 Rune Armor lit up on Roland's chest.

The rapid hum of flowing metal resounded simultaneously from all parts of the body: breastplate, shoulder armor, leg armor, back armor—all the armor plates lost their original shape in the same instant.

The silvery-gray metal, like molten mercury, rapidly converged along the body's surface, all rushing towards Luo Lan's left arm.

The heavy armor that covered most of his body disappeared. Luo Lan's right shoulder, chest, and legs were instantly left with only a single layer of close-fitting inner lining, exposed to the air.

However, on Luo Lan's left forearm, layers of metal were stacked and reshaped into a short, thick cylindrical structure.

The tube faces forward, and inside is an arrow made of compressed armor plates, with a thin iron chain attached to its fletching.

The metal sleeve arrow is a sophisticated mechanism made by drawing and drawing wire from the armor plates all over the body.

"call out""

In a split second, the sharp sound of metal snapping a string was amplified many times over by the howling wind.

Using the [Compression] rune as the power source to trigger the elastic deformation of the metal, the arrow left the barrel, dragging the iron chain as it cut through the air, and accurately pierced the inside of Ga Gu's thick forearm.

The arrow was a specially crafted, retractable barb structure made by Luo Lan using the [Transformation] rune. After penetrating the flesh, the hook blade snapped open and firmly gripped the muscle fibers under the [thick skin] of the bone.

"Whoosh"

The iron cable, taut and firmly embedded in Ga Gu's massive arm, was pulled back by a built-in mechanical winch.

Driven by the iron chain sleeve arrow, Luo Lan's body was suddenly pulled towards Ga Gu's arm.

The kinetic energy from the giant arm's swing not only failed to injure Luo Lan, but instead became a fulcrum for him to leverage.

Pulled by the iron chain, Luo Lan traced an arc in the air, crossing half the battlefield before being flung onto Ga Gu's forearm.

As Luo Lan leaped onto Ga Gu's arm, the metal chains retracted section by section, reforming into armor plates that adhered back to Luo Lan's body.

Once the iron chains were completely retracted, Luo Lan was already standing steadily on Ga Gu's forearm.

After his full-body heavy armor [transformation] was restored, he gripped his broadsword in his right hand and placed it firmly on his rough arm, which was covered in sweat and blood.

Gagu immediately sensed something was wrong. It turned its one eye and glared at its own arm, letting out a frantic growl: "Tin Can, get down."

Ga Gu's thick arm began to tremble violently, his entire arm whipping wildly in the air like a whip, trying to flip the tin can parasite crawling on it and kill it.

Luo Lan was not about to sit idly by and wait for his death. With a burst of strength in his right hand, he thrust the Holy Light Broadsword into the thickest part of Ga Gu's forearm at a tricky angle.

The blade sliced ​​through flesh and got stuck in a thick layer of fat.

Luo Lan gripped the sword hilt tightly, remaining motionless no matter how the one-eyed behemoth swung its arm wildly. It was as if its body was a rivet driven into this mountain of flesh.

Immediately afterwards, the [T-800 Rune Armor] emitted a mechanical sound as it [transformed] once again.

This time, Luo Lan focused on changing the iron plate boots on her feet.

The metal flowed, and from the sole of the shoe, a dozen sharp, gripping nails emerged, piercing into the flesh of Ga Gu's arm.

Luo Lan exerted force with both legs, twisted the hilt of his sword sharply with his right hand, and used the fulcrum of the broadsword cutting into his flesh to throw himself upwards.

He somersaulted in mid-air, his boot soles landing on Ga Gu's upper arm, the iron nails under his feet piercing his flesh, drawing a string of blood droplets.

Despite the bumpy and swaying, Luo Lan managed to steady herself thanks to her shoes with metal nails.

Despite the massive shaking, Luo Lan followed Ga Gu's huge, thick forearm and charged straight toward the giant beast's steaming head.

With its remaining fighting instincts, Gagu sensed an extreme danger approaching.

He raised his other, crippled right arm and slapped it down at the tin cans that were crawling all over his left arm.

The giant hand crashed down with a whooshing sound, casting a shadow that covered the sky and the earth.

Just before the devastating slap landed, Luo Lan, who was only ten meters away from Ga Gu's neck, forcefully kicked his shoe nails into Ga Gu's flesh, using the force to leap up.

In mid-air, the metal armor plates on Luo Lan's left side liquefied and reformed once more. In less than a second, they transformed back into iron chain sleeve arrows.

"call out"

The deadly metal sleeve dart flew out once again.

"puff."

This time, the barbed arrow struck Ga Gu squarely in the left cheek, the barb embedded in the flesh, and the iron chain tightened.

"Whoosh"

The sound of the iron chain being pulled quickly rang out again.

Luo Lan's body was dragged by the iron chains, and he sped toward Ga Gu's head, instantly leaping over the area where Ga Gu's palm had struck, and crashing directly into the massive face of this nearly ten-meter-tall beast.

On the blood-red sclera of Ga Gu's enormous, one-eyed eye, ruptured capillaries were everywhere, and the pupil shrank to the tip of a pinhead, reflecting the silhouette of a silver tin can.

Even with the unreasonable skill [Intuitive Evasion Iv.2], this one-eyed ogre has absolutely no way to avoid it when kept at close range.

Where could its head hide? Luo Lan was right there in its face!

"puff!!!"

The broadsword pierced Gagu's single eye.
