The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Upon hearing the (Hunter) organization's code word, Lu Ming drew his Irithyll Straight Sword from his waist without hesitation, coldly preparing for the hunt.

Upon seeing this, Count Phoenix Aimon, who was over sixty years old, immediately stopped Lu Ming and hurriedly said, "They have both turned back now. We invited you here to see if you can stop them from turning into beasts."

"It's back to normal?" Count Amon's words startled Lu Ming. Then he and Count Amon walked towards the place where the two of them were, as Count Amon had mentioned.

Before even stepping inside, Lu Ming could smell a strong stench of blood.

Taking the Aries Staff from Sham, Lu Ming pushed open the door to the room.

What came into view was a scene similar to most hunting grounds during the three-month hunt: blood and flesh everywhere. By the door, Lu Ming and the others could also see an eyeball.

"Prepare for the hunt!" After glancing at the two people hiding in the corner of the room, Lu Ming shouted to the priest hunters without saying a word.

Seeing the priests draw their longswords, preparing to hunt, Count Phoenix Aymon immediately grabbed Lu Ming and shouted, "That's the Grand Duke! You can't do this! Besides, they've already turned back!"

The priest-hunter looked at Lu Ming, who was being held tightly by Count Amon and refused to go hunting, somewhat at a loss, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the three Earls of Lothric, Antu, and Dahl, who were direct descendants of Rael, and Earl Nero, who was not a direct descendant of Rael, all came to Earl Amon's mansion.

Upon seeing Lothric and his men arrive, Count Aymon immediately shouted, "You three, come here quickly! Viscount Lu Ming is hunting down the Grand Duke!!"

Upon hearing this, Lothric, Dahl, and Nero rushed over, while Antu hesitated for a moment before running over as well.

This scene was witnessed by the observant Sham, who couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.

Of the counts, only Nero was a hunter, so his first reaction upon seeing the scene in the room was to draw his weapon and begin hunting. However, reason prevented him from doing so. Instead, he pulled Lu Ming away and advised, "Although the Grand Duke and the others have been beast-transformed, they have returned to normal. We can use them to research a way to undo the beast transformation!"

"You mean **dissection?**" Lu Ming's question startled the counts standing nearby.

Lothric, who was already feeling uncomfortable because of the bloody smell coming from the room, covered his mouth and hurriedly ran to the nearby bathroom after hearing this.

“We only need to draw some blood from the Grand Duke and that child. There’s no need to do such an evil thing.”

“But the problem is, they’ve turned back to normal now, but who knows when they’ll turn back into beasts?” Lu Ming asked Nero, frowning.

After a moment of contemplation, Nero finally said, "You!"

"Me? Are you kidding me! I have no idea when they'll turn into beasts again!" Lu Ming said, laughing angrily.

"But don't you have a way to control yourself when you're in beast form?" For some reason, Philna betrayed Lu Ming.

Upon hearing that Lu Ming had also transformed into a beast and was able to control himself, Phoenix Aimon and Dahl Cacaro immediately said, "Since Viscount Lu Ming can control himself after transforming, wouldn't it be enough for you to teach the Grand Duke and that child?"

"..." After glancing silently at Philna, who was being controlled by Sham and dared not speak any more, Lu Ming frowned and said to them, "First, my beast transformation was not due to blood healing, but due to the curse magic of the Irithyll Valley. Second, I can control the madness after beast transformation, but that is because of the blessing of the God of Light and a resentment from the depths of the abyss, which allows me to control that unimaginable madness."

"You people who don't know what you look like after transforming into beasts cannot imagine that terrifying madness!"

"The blessing of the God of Light plus a deep-seated resentment?" Unfortunately, apart from Nero, Philna, Sham, and the few priests, no one listened to Lu Ming's words in their entirety.

Upon learning that restraining the beastly madness required the blessing of the God of Light, Count Phoenix Amon immediately sent two fearless servants into the room filled with blood and flesh, wrapped the Grand Duke and Count Amon's granddaughter in a blanket, and hurriedly rushed to the church in the city.

Seeing this, Lu Ming angrily shattered the high-quality replica vase in Earl Aimon's mansion with a single sword strike, then shouted to the priests and hunters, "Chase!"

After saying that, he led the priests and hunters to chase after Count Phoenix Aimon and his men, who were leading the Grand Duke toward the church.

Philner, however, dared not make the slightest rash move.

"Do you think Odysseus can't live without you, or do you think Lu Ming can't live without you? If you dare to do that again, I'll cut you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!" Sham placed his hand on Philna's back, making her feel a cold touch, and whispered words in her ear that Philna was terrified of: "You should know that if I want to kill you, you won't survive!"

-----------------------------------

Fearing that Raelus and Phoenix Amon's granddaughter might turn into beasts and harm people on the way or in the church, Lu Ming and the other hunters quickly caught up with Phoenix and his group, drew their weapons, and stood ready for battle.

Seeing this, both Rael and Phoenix Amon's granddaughter were somewhat frightened. After all, the (hunter) organization had always been rumored to hunt down even their own partners who had turned into beasts without hesitation.

Fearing they would actually be hunted down, the two of them desperately hoped to reach the church as soon as possible.

Under the hunters' close watch, the group finally arrived at the church in Agamemnon.

Before Phoenix and the others could lead Rael into the church, many of the people who were praying there had already been sent away by the priests who had received news of the hunter.

Now only a few skilled priests and some hunters from the city or former hunters remain here.

"High Priest, please pray to the God of Light for the Duke and my granddaughter. They were framed and forced into bestiality. Although they have returned to normal, only the grace of the God of Light can help them control the madness within them." Grabbing the High Priest's hand in the church, Count Phoenix Aimon said with tears streaming down his face.

Seeing Phoenix weeping so bitterly for the Grand Duke and his granddaughter, the High Priest naturally couldn't ignore the matter. Although he wasn't entirely sure himself, he still prayed to the God of Light for blessings for Rael and Phoenix Amon's granddaughter.

“This blood makes us human, makes us transcend humanity, and makes us no longer human. Therefore, we should revere this blood…” Sitting on a church pew, Lu Ming looked at the high priest who was praying to the God of Light and sighed softly.

"I'm sorry..." At this moment, Philna, who had somehow arrived at the church, apologized to Lu Ming under Sham's cold gaze.

“Sham, you don’t need to pressure her.” Philna, who had always disliked him, suddenly apologized to him, and Lu Ming naturally knew what was going on.

"But if I don't do anything about it, she'll cause us a lot of trouble!"

“I know, so I’ve already decided to take back that emblem.”

"Varied......"

"I'm not stupid enough to protect someone who has hated me from the very beginning!" Lu Ming said coldly, glancing at the surprised and terrified Philner.

However, Sham said, "It's not the right time to do that yet. Giving her another chance wouldn't hurt."

“But I’ve had enough. I’m not some pathetic wretch groveling before her; I’m a nobleman, a lord. So many nobles of Agamemnon have made requests to befriend me, and I haven’t agreed to any of them. Why should I care about this woman who’s so intent on harming me? Besides, she can’t bring anything to Odysseus’s territory.”

"..."

"I'll say it again, Lu Ming. Giving her another chance wouldn't be a bad idea. I think she should be able to think things through and weigh the pros and cons."

Chapter Six - Blood of the White Dragon

Sitting on a pew in the church, Antu Laques wasn't focusing on Grand Duke Rael and his young fiancée like the others. Instead, he was pondering why Philner had almost betrayed Lu Ming.

Without Lu Ming, Philna is nothing more than a conservative, ignorant, and greedy woman. She'll probably be eliminated by the Grand Duke or another new Grand Duke within a few days.

Antu Laques doesn't think Felner is really stupid; there must be some reason behind his actions.

"Could it be..." Suddenly, Antu Laques thought of a possibility. A possibility that made him want to laugh out loud at Philner.

"He gave you the emblem, which means he'll protect you for life. Now you want to abandon him and seek someone else's protection? How foolish! You should know that a traitor will never be trusted, no matter where he goes. After all, 'you can betray him, so you can betray me.'"

Just as Antu Laques was secretly mocking Philna's foolishness, Grand Duke Rael and his granddaughter, who were being held down by several servants of Count Phoenix Aimon, suddenly became agitated.

"Prepare for the hunt!" Standing up from the bench, Lu Ming walked step by step to Grand Duke Rells and his young fiancée. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the hunters to surround Grand Duke Rells.

Meanwhile, the high priest quickened his pace, praying to the God of Light.

"My sword is the chilling wind of Irithyll, my staff is the hymn of Yharnam. Monsters devoured by divine blood, are you ready to accept death? I, Lu Ming, the Darkmoon Knight of Irithyll, the Abyss Watcher of the Farron Undead Legion, once again join the hunt!" With a straight sword in one hand and a holy staff in the other, Lu Ming coldly looked at Grand Duke Rells and his young fiancée, as if they were prey hunted over the past three months.

“Viscount Lu Ming, please wait a moment. This is the Church of the God of Light. Isn’t it a bit excessive for you hunters to hunt so recklessly?” Although Rael and the others were showing signs of turning into beasts again, they hadn’t actually done so yet. Therefore, Counts Phoenix Amon and Dahl Cacalo once again stopped Lu Ming and the other hunters from their planned hunt.

However, they could stop Lu Ming, but they couldn't stop the hunters: "We, the priests of the Church of Light, are participating in the hunt once again today!"

The sound of swords being drawn sent chills down the spines of Phoenix and Dahl. These hunters, hardened by three months of relentless hunting, had long since become cold-blooded. They showed no mercy to the beast-like patients, only a resolute determination to draw their swords.

As if in response to these hunters, half a minute later, Rael and the Grand Duke transformed into their beast forms once again.

Immediately, Phoenix and Dahl, who had originally wanted to stop Lu Ming from hunting, ran to the church door and looked at the two children who had turned into monsters with panic.

Philna was pulled to a corner of the church by Sham, and Antu hid in another corner. They prepared to watch the hunt.

“Normally, beast-like monsters should be similar to werewolves, but why do these two look so much like the Demon King?” Looking at the two scaleless dragon-like monsters in front of him, Lu Ming frowned and pondered to himself.

"Awooo!!" A roar erupted from the mouths of the two children who had transformed into dragon-human monsters, startling even the high priest who was still praying.

But for hunters who often hunt five-meter-tall behemoths, these two dragon-humanoid monsters, which are only two and a half meters tall, are no match for them.

However, without knowing what abilities these two monsters possess, the hunters will not blindly launch a direct attack.

"Fran Arrow Rain!" Lu Ming unleashed two extremely dense volleys of Fran Arrows with the Aries Staff, instantly knocking the two dragon-humanoid monsters to the ground.

"All bark and no bite? Or have they not yet adapted to their new bodies?" With a frown, Lu Ming immediately charged toward the two dragon-humanoid monsters, raised Irithyll's Straight Sword high, and slashed heavily at one of the monsters.

Unfortunately, the attack missed. It was blocked by a special crystalline weapon that the dragon-humanoid monster suddenly conjured.

"Crystallization magic?! White Dragon Sith?" Before the crystals could corrode Irithyll's straight sword, Lu Ming used a high-speed movement to get away from the two dragon-humanoid monsters.

When he stopped, the weapon in his hand had changed to the Weilong Bow, and he also had a quiver with a large number of arrows at his waist.

"Everyone switch to ranged weapons!" With a loud shout, Lu Ming reminded all the hunters, and the next moment he unhesitatingly fired a large number of ordinary arrows at the two dragon-humanoid monsters.

Although these arrows were ordinary arrows purchased from a weapon shop, the Dragonbow's lightning enchantment imbued them with a trace of lightning power, causing the two dragon-humanoid monsters to scream in agony from the shock.

At the same time, the hunters also took out bows and arrows and some short-range muskets specially made by the dwarves from their respective spatial magic items.

“It seems our Grand Duke is doomed this time. Phoenix, what do you plan to do now?” Dahl sighed slightly as he looked at the two dragon-humanoid monsters being beaten to the ground by the hunters, and then asked Phoenix beside him.

“I don’t know. We should wait until the new Grand Duke takes office before making any plans.” Shaking his head, Phoenix sighed and said, “It’s a pity about my seventh son’s third daughter. I thought she could bring some benefits to the family, or even kill the Grand Duke and seize the throne after becoming pregnant. I never imagined that she would be hunted down by the hunters along with that little bastard from the Hadist family. What a pity!”

Hearing Phoenix express no sadness whatsoever over his granddaughter's impending death, only lamenting the lack of sufficient benefits, Dahl smiled and shook his head.

"I didn't expect the special artificial blood from the Grand Archives of Lothric, combined with the blood of the Old Gods, to be so effective. Even with so many hunters focusing their fire, I wasn't killed. If the new Grand Duke is as ambitious as the previous one, this blood should open a door to a bright future for me." Antu Laques, hiding in a corner of the church, watched the two dragon-humanoid monsters stubbornly resisting the hunters' onslaught, relying on crystal magic, and murmured with a cold laugh.

Just as he was preparing to flee to avoid being caught in the hunt, two dragon-humanoid monsters suddenly charged towards Philna and Sham, braving a barrage of bullets and arrows.

This action made him stop and stay to continue observing just how powerful the monster created by combining artificial blood with the blood of the Old Gods really was.

But just as the two dragon-humanoid monsters were about to rush in front of Philna and the two women, Lu Ming suddenly flashed between the dragon-humanoid monsters and Philna and Sham.

“Playing with crystals, huh! When I was playing with crystal magic, you two didn’t even know what it was!” Throwing aside the Dragonbow, quiver, and trench coat, Lu Ming sneered at the two dragon-humanoid monsters.

The next moment, a thunderclap exploded, shocking everyone, even the dragon-humanoid monster was so frightened that it dared not rush forward anymore.

A large burst of lightning exploded from where Lu Ming was standing. A gigantic beast, twice the size of the dragon-humanoids, charged toward the two dragon-humanoid monsters with a series of lightning bolts. It extended two lightning-shining claws and slammed the two monsters against the church wall.

Terrifying lightning, with a deafening roar, tore apart the crystalline magic of the dragon-humanoid monster, scorching it with its heat.

"How much longer?" The mad beast, which had subdued the two dragon-humanoid monsters, roared as it looked at the high priest who was still praying through its three eyes on the left side, which shone with the light of the sun.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Hunter!" A priest who was not part of the (hunter) organization and was standing beside the high priest to protect him shouted to the berserk beast that Lu Ming had transformed into.

"Then hurry up, or I won't care if these two get electrocuted!" The mad beast stared intently at the two dragon-humanoids and roared with a cold laugh.

Watching the berserker completely subdue the two dragon-humanoid monsters with a single beast transformation, leaving them unable to retaliate even slightly, the three counts, Dar, Antu, and Phoenix, who harbored ill intentions, subconsciously swallowed hard.

"With the strength of these two dragon-like monsters, they could easily kill at least four swordsmen. But once Lu Ming transforms into his beast form, their abilities suddenly become inadequate. Could it be that all Lords of Cinder are this powerful?" Antu Laques gritted his teeth, looking at his hard work and future, which was being held firmly in place by the berserk beast that Lu Ming had transformed into, and couldn't help but glare fiercely at the monster that Lu Ming had become.

Left with no other choice, I had to start thinking about my future plans.

At this moment, the two dragon-humanoid monsters suddenly launched a counterattack against Lu Ming's beast form.

Suddenly, the two monsters grabbed the mad beast's claws with their sharp claws at the same time, and used all their strength to activate the crystal magic, trying to corrupt Lu Ming.

Unfortunately, at that moment, Lu Ming threw them both out without hesitation, causing them to slam heavily against the other side of the church wall, making them both cough up blood.

"Playing with crystals, great! I'll play with you!!" Step by step, it slowly crawled towards the two dragon-humanoid monsters, and suddenly a large amount of dark black mud gushed out from the shadow of the mad beast.

The black mud gradually climbed onto the beast's body, quickly enveloping it completely.
