I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 397 - 55: Bestial Transformation

"What is... this weapon?"

Staring at the Red Scale Giant Claw, which was even larger than his head, Fatty couldn't care less about the excruciating pain in his shattered arm. He could only lie there dumbfounded.

He subconsciously identified this claw as a weapon.

But how could such a powerful weapon appear on the Floating Island?

Although, when they were at Lake Town, Mayor Chen Nuo had told them that Yun You shattered a door weighing nearly a thousand tons with just one punch, an impressive feat of destructive power.

Yet people always have a lucky mindset. Until they see it with their own eyes, they won't believe it; they assume Yun You used a Special Ability that specifically countered that door, rather than breaking it with sheer strength.

But now, the truth was unveiled.

Regret came too late.

"No... it's not a weapon!"

Casablanca's pupils contracted as he recognized the true nature of the giant claw.

He was an Apprentice Death God; he could sense the unusual aura emanating from the claw.

This was definitely not just a weapon; a pure weapon couldn't possess such immense power, capable of withstanding even Fatty's full-strength sneak attack.

Unless it was a military-level Prosthetic Body, but how could that be? Even though the Floating Island's management was loose, the police would never allow military prosthetics to flow into the island, as it could lead to the entire island's collapse.

But if it isn't a weapon, then what could it be? A Sequence Ability? A Talent Ability? Or some intrinsic Special Effect?

"None of these make sense at all!"

Casablanca bit his teeth, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

However, they wouldn't have to stay puzzled for long.

Because Yun You didn't give them any chance to react. The Red Scale Giant Claw slightly adjusted its position and then stabbed towards the already severely injured Fatty.

"Pssh!"

The piercing sound of flesh rang through Fatty's chest.

The Red Scale Giant Claw effortlessly tore through his thick flesh, precisely stabbing into his heart, crushing the semi-mechanized organ with a pop!

Though Yun You wasn't very familiar with these cyborgs, she knew that many of them had modified brains and organs. Even if their heads were severed, they might not instantly lose combat capability.

Crushing the heart, this energy source, was the most secure method.

Surprisingly, despite the heart being broken, Fatty didn't expire. Instead, he grinned, revealing a cunning smile of a plan achieved.

He somehow mustered his strength, suddenly reached out with his other hand, and grasped Yun You's shoulder firmly, roaring, "Didn't expect this, huh, girl? I've long undergone comprehensive modification; each of my organs can supply energy to my body!"

Saying so, he gritted hard, crushing his tooth, triggering a mechanism in his body.

"Ka—!"

In an instant, the metal gears inside Fatty's body clamped down and spun desperately, tightly clamping onto Yun You's claw!

Yun You instinctively tried to withdraw her hand, but she never expected the gears to be tougher than she imagined, and the position of her arm being caught was too precarious to exert force, leaving only tiny scratches on the metal surface.

"Stop thinking about struggling anymore!"

Fatty laughed wildly, bending over to gaze mockingly at Yun You.

"The gears in my body are made of D5 grade metal; even a few small pieces stacked together can withstand large-caliber armor-piercing bullets. There's no way you can escape from this position!"

"I know you have a Special Ability that makes this claw extraordinarily powerful for a short time, but those kinds of Special Abilities usually have a cooldown. You can't escape! Girl, accept your fate!"

He then turned to look at Casablanca.

"Old man, make your move!"

However, whether due to fear or caution, Casablanca didn't act personally.

He hesitated for a moment before finally removing a remote from his pocket and pressing it lightly.

"Whoosh—!"

A piercing whistle suddenly emerged from the sky. On the horizon, several massive shadows descended rapidly, trailing fiery tails like meteors slicing through the night sky.

They were airdrop pods, with thick Armor on their surface and blood-red warning lights flickering at the edges.

"Boom~!"

The first airdrop pod slammed heavily into the ground, raising dust and rubble tens of meters high. The ground rippled like the surface of water, and nearby buildings shook precariously from the shockwave.

"Old man... you!"

Seeing this, Fatty's pupils shrank as he instinctively asked, "Why would you deploy Beastification Apprentice Death Gods now? Didn't we agree to use them for sieging? Are you senile?"

"You know nothing!"

Casablanca retorted without hesitation, "Mokaka is playing, and those guards are all around her. Even if we Summon the Beastification Apprentice Death Gods, we might not breach their defense line quickly."

"What we need to do now is completely eliminate this claw girl!"

He pointed at Yun You, growling, "Kill her first, then gradually besiege Mokaka. That's the strategy with the greatest chance of success!"

As he finished speaking, the airdrop pod's hatch also opened slowly, emitting a wave of cold air, and the scent of metal and oil filled the air.

Along with it came heavy breathing.

"Huff... huff..."

In the shadows, pairs of crimson eyes suddenly lit up, like two blood-red lanterns.

Yun You detected a faint scent of blood. It wasn't strong, but it was etched into its core.

"Beastification Apprentice Death Gods?"

She pondered this unfamiliar term, her expression slowly turning serious, focusing intensely on the airdrop pod.

Before long, her opponent appeared.

A claw suddenly reached out from the pod, hands gripping the rim tightly, sharp claws leaving grooves on the sturdy steel of the pod.

Next, the owner of the claw emerged.

It was a creature with a human-like form, but its body was more robust than any Apprentice Death God Yun You had ever seen. Its skin was dark gray, covered in scales and spikes, with a head twisted and deformed, featuring sharp fangs and horns, dripping with sticky red saliva.

It resembled a beast more than a human.

"Roar—!"

The creature opened its mouth wide, letting out an ear-splitting roar, its voice filled with an endless desire for slaughter.

Its steps were heavy and powerful, each step causing the ground to quiver slightly. Mechanical parts embedded in its body occasionally released steam, making it appear both bizarre and fierce.

Soon after, a second, third, fourth... more creatures emerged from the pod.

They varied in form: some had sharp bone spurs protruding from their backs, others had arms transformed into massive claws, and some were entirely covered with thick Biological Armor.

Regardless of their appearance, their eyes shared the same crimson glow, filled with violence and madness.
