Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 563 - 517 Mr. Konomo
The wooden house area filled with a nauseating stench, after locking eyes with Tang Qi, a "Cannibal Monster" nearly three meters tall turned into black ashes and drifted away. These were the embers left behind after the fuel had burnt completely, silent and traceless.
"Number five!"
Tang Qi felt the previously immobile Meditation Method within him, its progress rising.
Three Pig Demon Monsters, plus five Cannibal Monsters, were all considered exceptionally high-quality fuel from a burning perspective.
Beside Tang Qi was the girl who had been thrown over from the other side earlier, her name was "Rebecca".
At this moment, she no longer harbored the fear she had initially. In fact, after seeing the mysterious "Wizard" for the second time, merely glancing at those disgusting monsters and watching him kill them, Rebecca grew fond of her current job.
Draw in the monsters!
Rebecca found these "Cannibal Monsters" to be astonishingly dumb.
The same trick had been used five times, and it still worked effectively.
Moreover, bizarrely, each of her screams only managed to attract one Cannibal Monster, and according to their terrifying and abnormal "neighbor" living next door, this place housed a huge family of Cannibal Monsters.
At least dozens in number.
But each time she could only lure one, and at such a close distance, could it be that all the other Cannibal Monsters were super lazy ghosts, unwilling to move even slightly? And lacking any sense of crisis?
Rebecca was pondering this as she prepared for her next round of work.
Yet just before she opened her mouth, she suddenly saw the wizard blink at her, and a voice sounded in her mind.
Without any hesitation, Rebecca turned and ran outside.
The next moment, a loud boom resounded.
The main black house facing Tang Qi had one of its walls collapse with a crash, and two burly, stinking dark figures burst out, decidedly two monsters much larger and fier-er than any previous "Cannibal Monster".
These two immense Cannibal Monsters, one male and one female.
Their bodies were aged, skin sagging, but those transformed muscles still maintained their strength, releasing a malice from their eyes tens of times more intense than the other Cannibal Monsters.
And compared to other Cannibal Monsters, they had higher intelligence.
On them, they wore clothing similar to that of old-time farmers, only coarser and larger. The male one held a homemade spiked club, while the female carried a huge bone ladle.
On the former, rusted iron nails were stained with fresh flesh, and from the latter dripped to the ground a strange aromatic meat soup.
The two aged Cannibal Monsters launched an attack on Tang Qi without a word.
Their movements were cruel and their cooperation was seamless, completely different from the previous dumb "fuel".
And after they made their move, behind that shattered wall, at least twenty Cannibal Monsters rushed out howling.
The two old Cannibal Monsters, not only deceitful but also skilled in ambush and encirclement?
Unfortunately, this would not change the outcome.
From the very beginning, Tang Qi having Rebecca "draw in the monsters" was certainly not because he was not confident in killing the nest of Cannibal Monsters or because he was worried about disturbing the "Abnormality" next door.
The truth was, he didn’t want to enter that disgusting main house.
Considering it was "mealtime", the house was filled with the entire Cannibal Monster family, and one can imagine just how repulsive the scene was.
The purpose of Rebecca drawing in the monsters was of course to attract these two old Cannibal Monsters.
From just the first encounter, Tang Qi could see the deceit and venom in the eyes of the two old creatures, and he knew they were subjects he could question.
So, the combat had not begun.
Tang Qi had already cast "Red", bringing all Cannibal Monsters into a special world.
Among them, the two old Cannibal Monsters, who had once been mentioned by Ralph, received special attention from Tang Qi.
"After Charlotte and I left Mirage Street, we quickly met a couple living in seclusion; they were very kind, gave us guidance, and even gifted us some things."
Clearly, the couple mentioned by Ralph were the two aged Cannibal Monsters in front of Tang Qi.
"Pink pigs transforming into demon monsters, pure little girls into Resentful Ghosts, a secluding couple into Cannibal Monsters... What on earth did Ralph do back then?"
Before extracting the memories from the two old Cannibal Monsters, a thought of curiosity arose in Tang Qi’s mind.
As for why it was certain to be Ralph’s fault?
Almost no guessing was required, when Ralph stumbled upon this place, it was a beautiful, innocent world filled with childlike wonders.
After he left, it fell into corruption.
Adding on top of poor Charlotte’s misfortune, it firmly established the fact that Ralph was scum.
What happens when a scumbag enters a dream-like world?
...
Outside the fence, Rebecca looked on puzzledly at the scene unfolding inside.
A nest of Cannibal Monsters suddenly appearing and after exchanging glances with the mysterious, handsome "Wizard", all fell into a stunned state.
After waiting a while, just when Rebecca thought of walking over to check,
Suddenly, Tang Qi woke up, and a nest of foul-smelling Cannibal Monsters showed signs of awakening as well.
Rebecca was so scared that she was about to scream, but quickly, Flames filled her eyes, Red with a tinge of gold, cascading down like a waterfall, erupting, enveloping all the Cannibal Monsters and those wooden houses together.
The sky-high blaze and the crackling sound of burning fat that followed.
Normally, no one who wasn’t blind or deaf could ignore such commotion.
But bizarrely, the "Monster" next door remained absent, without any sign of alertness.
From the beginning, the area was shrouded in an "Illusion Spell."
Tang Qi watched as a large amount of high-quality Fuel was being fed into the Self Furnace, pondering the Information Fragments just obtained from the two aged Cannibal Monsters when out of the corner of his eye he saw Rebecca standing cautiously nearby.
Suddenly remembering that there was more than just a nest of Cannibal Monsters in this "Node."
Their neighbor was a perverted Abnormality.
With this thought, Tang Qi turned to Rebecca and smiled, "Let’s go pay a visit to that Mr. Konomo."
...
The grandeur room was filled with the aroma of Food, a long table made of Red wood was packed with nearly ten high-backed chairs, all occupied by young women, with various hair colors and the common trait of great figures.
Not just slender, but full of vitality.
However, each woman was trying her best to hide the Fear on her face.
They wanted to scream and wail, but they dared not.
Because not long ago, the first companion who did so was grabbed by the man at the head of the table, clad in noble attire, tall with a thick beard, stuffed into a bag, and thrown into the dwelling of the neighboring Cannibal Monster family.
As a child, the phrase often heard in stories told by parents, "Behave, or the Cannibal Monster will eat you," was real in this room.
They all came from "Rose City," a city steeped in artistic atmosphere. As performers of the same Dance Troupe, they decided to throw a party in an old villa to celebrate a greatly popular performance.
The villa owner was a Member’s grandfather.
It was that very Member who, during the party, suddenly suggested a daring game, and inexplicably, after they entered the basement, they all shifted to this bizarre World.
Initially arriving in a forest, terrified, they luckily came upon this house. It looked ordinary from the outside, but once inside, it was as luxurious and beautiful as an ancient nobleman’s mansion, oozing with the aura of wealth.
The Master of the house, who claimed to be a reclusive "Great Noble," was named "Konomo."
Konomo, with a bright and friendly smile, led them into the house.
Then, his true face was revealed. A shameless, licentious man, he wanted to take them all as his wives, insisting they live with him here.
The women wanted to rebel, only to find that this man not only had extraordinary strength but also could command several fierce Dead Spirits as servants.
The first "rebel" was thrown to the Cannibal Monsters.
"Poor Rebecca!"
All women thought of their companion at the same time.
Imagining she might have been eaten by the Cannibal Monsters, the sight of the delicious Food cooked by the Dead Spirits suddenly lost all appeal.
At the head of the table, the bearded man gorged on a roasted turkey, his eyes filled with satisfaction as he admired his "wives."
"Such bliss. How foolish I was before. Even in seclusion here, I shouldn’t forget to indulge. The great, the Supreme Divinity... thank you for your gifts. I will thoroughly enjoy my wives until your next benevolence."
"What a beautiful life..."
"Thud thud."
As Konomo thought happily, suddenly, the sound of knocking came out of nowhere.
A Dead Spirit, dressed in a white chef’s outfit and built like a giant bear, walked towards the door, passed straight through, and vanished without a trace.
This strange scene stunned everyone in the room.
Then, the rest of the Dead Spirits, eager to serve their Master, disappeared one after another.
Bang!
The sudden loss of all his loyal servants enraged Blue Beard. He slammed his cutlery down, his heavy footsteps thumping on the wooden floor, as his beard quivered, and he growled at the door:
"Is it that damned Old Witch or greedy Sony Bean? The handsome, the generous Konomo has said many times, only the wives I tire of will be given to you..."
"Bang!"
In the midst of his roar, the door was forcefully pulled open.
But the next moment, Konomo, and the "wives" at the long table, all saw an unbelievable figure reflected in their eyes.
"Rebecca!"
The wives exclaimed in surprise.
But Blue Beard, initially stunned, was about to rage and reach out with his bony, abnormally long arm to grab the somehow-returned Rebecca when suddenly a figure appeared from behind her.
Tang Qi, heading straight for the noble-looking Konomo, beamed a brilliant smile: "Surprised?"
He didn’t wait for Konomo’s answer because in the instant their gazes met, the Fifth Rank "Red" was silently cast, and another Abnormality was dragged into that special World.
