Lord of Enigma

Chapter 23: Dugong Sea Monster

Clap! Clap!

A crisp applause sounded in Tang Qi's house. In the smoke and dust, a very thin-looking figure walked out slowly.

This was a very pretty young boy, so beautiful that his appearance was close to that of a girl.

And what's more, he was wearing heavy makeup.

He wore the uniform of an international exchange student. He had a pair of eyes that were pretty-looking but with some craziness inside. At this moment, he was staring at Tang Qi and Stana who were coming out from under the table.

To be more precise, Tang Qi was almost completely ignored as though he was an irrelevant addition. What really attracted his attention was the Sergeant Stana beside him.

He looked at Stana like he was looking at a work of art. It contained a strong possessiveness along with obsession.

"So beautiful. My darling, you are so beautiful. The reason I didn't leave even after I was exposed was because of you. I so want to peel your skin off you and put it on me. Then I will become you, a perfect woman."

After talking, his eyes finally fell on Tang Qi.

A charming smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. A magnetic voice that gave Tang Qi goosebumps all over crept into his ears.

"So you're the one who found the clue of the shells. I have a question for you. How did you know that the shell was from the Aegean Sea without touching them?

"Or are you not an ordinary"

Hiss

"Bang!"

The boy didn't continue that sentence. Halfway through, he smiled fiercely, and then a terrible sound broke out.

Because he was so close to him, although Tang Qi had been prepared, he was still immediately dizzied from that rush of sound waves. A warmth came from his ears and nose at the same time. Without touching, he already knew that he was bleeding.

But these were not the real crisis. What really made Tang Qi leap up like a cat whose tail was stepped on was a huge, fat fishtail that appeared out of nowhere and suddenly descended towards him. Tang Qi could feel that it contained a force that was sufficient to beat him to death in an instant.

There was no need for confirmation, nor did Tang Qi have time to look at the special interface. This was absolutely a horrible supernatural monster.

And at this time, this monster launched a sneak attack on Tang Qi despite it having superior power.

But this scene did not exceed Tang Qi's expectations.

"Now that it's confirmed that it's the enemy, of course I have to do my best."

"This stinky thing is such, but so am I."

This was what flashed across Tang Qi's mind when he forcefully pushed Stana away and stuffed several bullets in her hand.

Then, his whole body dodged the fishtail coming with a rapid and dexterous movement. Like a leopard running at full speed, all his muscles were mobilized in this instant. The speed that was unleashed almost set off a windstorm in the room.

Because it was an instant mobilization, Tang Qi felt an intense pain from the resultant damage to his muscles.

But for now, he had no time to take care of it.

His eyes stared at the "guest" who had already totally changed his form; the murder in his eyes was beyond concealing.

A familiar yet special interface appeared in his eyes.

Supernatural Creature: Dugong Sea Monster

State: Integrated.

[Information Fragment 1: A perverted human being met an ugly sea monster. The former provided the human body for the latter, and the latter gave the former supernatural powers. Their integration creates a special creature.]

[Information Fragment 2: Different races merge. The body is not the problem. The real problem is at the spiritual level. They may succeed, but the greater possibility is their self-destruction.]

When he saw this interface, Tang Qi also saw the boy.

He, or rather it, had lost half of its human features.

Standing in the living room of Tang Qi's home right now was a bulging, ugly half-man half-fish monster. Like Sergeant Stana had previously described, the lower body was a fat fishtail; the bare upper body was covered with scales. The skull looked rotten from soaking.

A total of three human skins were wrapped on its body. The exterior that should be beautiful actually constantly produced disgusting pus and stinky, sticky blood, which gradually fully covered the multiple faces that were integrated together.

In the face of such an ugly monster, it would be really hard for ordinary people to keep their cool.

Especially after it appeared in the room, the strong fishy smell had diffused to such thickness that it could not be ignored any longer and began to interfere with the senses.

A pity that Tang Qi was no ordinary person.

He completely ignored the visual shock from the monstrous look of his opponent, rushing toward it like a storm, and the skill that he had prepared for a long while was immediately mobilized.

[Chaga Fighting Technique!]

Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fighting techniques usually involved only punches and kicks.

But this set of techniques from the Saha Continent, which had already been transformed into a skill by Tang Qi, actually included a dagger attack.

So at this moment, this Dugong sea monster was faced with flashing dagger lights, so fast that they almost looked like a mirage.

The sharp dagger easily cut open the three layers of human skin on it, but after it fell on the inner black scales, Tang Qi immediately felt a slippery, tough surface. Most of the power behind the attack was scattered, and the rest could only produce a series of fire sparks upon collision with the black scales.

The protection of the scales was not broken through, and it did not even provoke the anger of the sea monster; however, the human skin pierced into pieces by Tang Qi sent the Dugong sea monster directly into a rampage.

Hiss

Another terrible sound save started at an even closer location. Tang Qi's ears, eyes and nose started bleeding at once.

Boom!

In the surging wind, the terrible fishtail slashed over again.

Tang Qi dexterously dodged it, moving in a flash to the space behind the sea monster. The light of a cold blade flashed in front of it, and the dagger went into its eye instantly.

Its other places might have been protected by scales, but its eyes were still fragile.

The moment that it went in, blood and pus burst out at the same time, spattering onto Tang Qi's hand and immediately beginning to corrode his flesh and blood. He bore the intense pain and took out the dagger. As he was about to launch a second attack, Tang Qi realized that the dagger made of quality steel was actually already corroded to a state full of holes and couldn't be used anymore.

A strong sense of danger washed over him. Tang Qi did not think at all, but immediately dropped the dagger, turned, and left his original place in a sprint.

Hiss

"Ooooo"

The sea monster howled, but unlike previously, this time, Tang Qi's house suffered serious damage. Where the soundwave passed by, fragile things were shattered, and the harder ones were forcefully pushed away. A large space of vacuum was about to appear.

Tang Qi who was already rushing out at his top speed still couldn't avoid it.

Cough

He coughed out blood while he was still in mid-air. His forward momentum disappeared, and he flew out horizontally like a dead dog.

With a swoosh, before Tang Qi could even get a feel of his internal injuries, his whole person was lifted up by a stout and disgusting hand grabbing his neck.

In the now messy room, the floor was completely covered with mucus and pus, and rotten-smelling blood was splashed everywhere. The thick fishy stink made one feel as though one was in the busiest seafood market.

Tang Qi coughed out blood with difficulty. He looked down and saw a sea monster with one eye injured, looking extremely hideous.

The two looked at each other. Viciousness coupled with satisfaction appeared on the sea monster's ugly face.

"Soft-fleshed little mouse.

"I'll eat you!"

Following a loud yell, the sea monster's head, which was hideous to begin with, suddenly opened up, its big, bloody mouth; it started expanding and soon became larger than Tang Qi's skull. Inside, rows of sawtooth-like teeth similar to a shark's rushed towards Tang Qi.

It was clear that it wanted to eat Tang Qi's head directly.

As he was about to bite, it also stared at him with its fish eyes, as though it wanted to appreciate his fear and despair before his death.

Unfortunately, what it saw was a pair of mocking eyes.

"Eh?"

"Wait!"

An alarm just sounded in the sea monster's mind.

Suddenly, from one corner of the room, a gun-cocking sound came.

It turned around just in time to see Stana's face that was perfect even in its imperfect state, the murder in it that was similarly undisguised, and a black gun barrel.

"Hahaha, this can't hurt me at"

Bang!

Before the sea monster finished speaking, its remaining eye left was filled with a dazzling golden light.

It was fast, but not as fast as a bullet.

Stana's marksmanship was also very good, fully worthy of her sergeant position.

So in the next moment, a terrible howling sounded through the room again.

Only this time it was different. It was more painfilled; even the soundwave was weakened.

The Dugong sea monster had lost half of its head. Though the head rotten from soaking actually had a tough exterior, against the shining golden bullet, the three human-skin faces and the gray mist that came out of it were all very fragile.

Evil-breaking!

Combustion!

Both traits mobilized at the same time. After a burst of golden light, the Dugong sea monster was severely injured.

This time, it truly fell into a wild rage.

"Supernatural power, and the most despicable kind."

"I'm going to eat you both alive."

Amidst its howling, an incredible scene took place.

Inside the broken half-head of the sea monster, gray mist rushed out, and the broken blood and flesh recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye under the power of the mist.

At the same time, two bangs were felt from under its ribs. In the splashing of flesh and blood, two thick and disgusting arms actually broke out of its body.

The momentum of the sea monster, which had already started to weaken, suddenly started to soar at this moment.

If Tang Qi had looked at the special interface again, he would have realized that the state which was originally "Integrated" had now changed to "Integrating, progress 99.9%".

Who could have imagined that one person and one demon, who had integrated, actually retreated back to the final stage of integration because of the stimulation from a furnace bullet?

The Dugong sea monster at this moment was actually not as ugly. Although the whole body was in a mess, its dark scales, the huge fishtail, the slippery head, four stout, thick arms, and the evil yellow eyes made it look not like a mutant monster, but more like some kind of evil, ancient creature.

It obviously felt the change itself and laughed wildly.

The humanity in the sound disappeared quickly, and the monster's side dominated.

But even then, it didn't forget Tang Qi and Stana. It flicked its fishtail and yanked Tang Qi towards it and was about to stuff him into its mouth. It seemed that it was going to eat Tang Qi first and then go after the female sergeant who was obviously a greater threat.

The bullet that could turn into golden light made it very fearful.

But at this time, a real change in the situation happened.

A pair of thin but powerful palms forcibly terminated its movement. When it subconsciously waved its remaining three arms to forcefully tear Tang Qi apart, it heard a cold voice.

"Look at my eyes!"

Perhaps because of its rage, perhaps because it was mentally unstable to begin with, upon hearing this voice, the sea monster actually really subconsciously turned its head to fix its eyes on Tang Qi's.

Furnace's Eyes!

When the sea monster saw the golden suns, it fell into a dull state.

A tremendously powerful creature far beyond humans lost its will, and it couldn't stop Tang Qi from slowly raising the muzzle of Blood Python No.1 and aiming at its wide-open mouth.

When Tang Qi's finger slowly pulled the trigger of Blood Python No.1 with a click, a faint blood-colored light appeared, and a faint sound that seemed similar to a dragon's roar came out.

Then, there was a surge of golden light with a momentum far beyond what was seen previously.
