Chapter 731 The Red Hybrid's Terror
Chapter 731 The Red Hybrid’s Terror
The threat had been named the red Hybrid. This was because information had started to spread around Pagna of other hybrids that had appeared in the past.
The stories were conflicting, to say the least, about those that had come out of portal breaks, looking part monster, part human, as if a beast had attached themselves to the body.
These individuals were incredibly strong, at times having the skills of martial artists while using a mixed form of Qi and the physical prowess of beasts.
As for the conflicting reports about the Hybrids, this was down to some experiences that had occurred.
There were talks of some people coming out of these portals completely fine.
They didn’t look like regular humans but were trying to communicate with those that they knew in the towns.
However, the situation would always end up bad. There were those that were scared, that would try to go against those that didn’t feel like they were human and the result would be death.
Regardless of the past events that had occurred, everyone feared the red Hybrid.
There was no pattern to its attacks; it just traveled from area to area, getting rid of anything that would appear in its path.
It had taken out most of the Dark Faction, a couple of Light Faction bases and clans, and a singular Demonic Clan.
It was the last straw for all three factions, and for the first time ever, an alliance between the three strongest in each faction had come together all to eliminate a single individual.
The citizens and the warriors of Pagna were amazed at the commitment it took to bring these three together.
It gave them hope that maybe at one point the continent of Pagna could be united. It certainly seemed the case when there was a greater enemy at play.
For once, information was being shared between all of the factions. They were being spread through a line of information Clans in each of the factions.
And the news had finally come in.
A village located deep within a wooded area, a clan that focused on strengthening one’s body.
The area was built using the materials around them. They had built a wall made out of wood, as well as several lookout posts that were located high up in the trees.
There were platforms with archers that would be on the lookout.
As a member scanned the ground, they could hear the crunching of leaves.
The warrior on top of his post focused his eyes.
“He matches the description; it has to be him!”
The warrior quickly turned to the ground, picking up a special bow and arrow and fired it off.
The arrow went in the direction of the village of the town and had hit a wooden pillar around 400 meters away.
In the village, another clan member had climbed to the top, grabbing the arrow.
“It’s the red Hybrid, he’s here, quickly!” The warrior shouted down.
The Clan in charge was a Dark Faction clan, and messengers quickly ran in all sorts of different directions.
While pigeon carriers with messages were sent out.
As for the man that had sent the message, he had turned around to pick up another bow, one for warding off against the enemy and attackers, but as he turned around, he could see red eyes looking straight at him.
“I hope that your message will bring strong people to where I am.”
A long string of red crystal had risen from a single finger of the red Hybrid and had pierced through the bottom of the warrior’s chin.
The warrior, moments before his life had ended, knew very well from the look in his eyes, that the hybrid knew he was there the entire time.
He had let him send out the message on purpose.
“I hope… you die.” The warrior managed to squirm out with the last bit of his life.
From where he was, the red Hybrid had jumped up in the air.
In the center of the village, past the wooden walls that had been built out of the large trunks of trees, the Hybrid had landed right in the center, breaking the ground slightly beneath his feet.
The regular citizens, the warriors that were on the inside, and even the town guards that weren’t part of any of the clans turned to look at the person who was in the center.
“I’m sorry but I can’t help myself.” The red Hybrid said as it moved its hand over its face.
Its shoulders were shaking, moving up and down as small bouts of laughter could be heard.
“The beast inside of me is telling me that all of you are a danger to me, and you must all be taken out, before you take me out!”
The Hybrid stretched out its hands, and out from its back, out from its hands, and several other parts of its body, strings of red came out, forming and hardening into the hard crystal.
From the center of the village, it looked like a spider web of red crystal had pierced through several of their bodies.
It killed them on the spot. Several of the screams that were being shouted at the top of their lungs had halted in an instant.
The horror of the red Hybrid was real, and the rumors they all heard were true.
They were living it in real-time. The warriors, some had managed to try and block the red crystal, but it just broke through their swords deflecting the hit.
The red crystal substance had gone through other parts of their body not hitting their vitals, but it felt like no one could get close to the red Hybrid.
“Even if we manage to break free out of this red web, we’ll just get struck down again… the terror of the red Hybrid will continue…”
The warriors, the people, everyone was disheartened until they could hear the rumbling of the floor.
Several blurs went past each individual and large cracking sounds were heard. The red crystal was breaking right in front of their eyes.
This was happening from all sorts of different directions.
“They’re here!” The people shouted, the clan members as well.
As the red crystal fell to the floor, the Hybrid looked around with a smile on his face.
“So you couldn’t beat me last time, so you have brought some of your friends?” The Hybrid said as he looked on at a set of familiar eyes, looking toward the young Belil.
“I’m considered quite young in this vast world, I haven’t had time to grow my strength to defeat you.” Belil answered. “I’m sure you are a beast that has lived a great long life.”
“So I have just decided to bring a few others that have lived long lives, all with the hopes of getting stronger, that is what you wished for after all, isn’t it?”
Three of the top Light Faction Clan Heads were present. Four of the Dark Faction Clan Heads had arrived.
At the same time, four of the big Demonic Clan leaders had arrived as well.
All of them had entered the scene; they were ready to move in an instant.
Some might have thought this was too much, too many great strengths had gathered in one place, just for one individual.
The only people that said that though, were the ones that had never seen the red Hybrid in person.
Perhaps, because all of those that had met the red Hybrid, apart from Belil himself, had all perished.
At the moment, after breaking through the red crystal from the Hybrid, none of the Clan Heads dared to get close.
They noticed that it was a great struggle trying to get their techniques, their fists through the substance.
They had to use more Qi than they would have liked, and not just that, they wondered what if this red crystal-like power could be concentrated.
Perhaps it was stronger as the crystal densed up. So they all waited for an opportunity, waited for one of the others to make the first strike.
“You are making me jealous!” The red Hybrid shouted out. “It’s a shame, I wish I would have attached to one of you. Oh, I would have loved to have seen what the result would have been.
“Unfortunately, I’m stuck with this warrior instead.”
Murkel, who was nothing but an observer in the dark space in his mind, had witnessed all of the things that had happened.
All of the things the red Hybrid had done. He had watched the red Hybrid cause devastation for months.
The clans and factions weren’t quick in acting together, in becoming one.
So Murkel had to watch as his body was forced to take out so many people.
The one saving grace was that the Hybrid beast hadn’t gone to his own clan.
Even though there was likely no one left alive that he knew from there.
‘It’s okay, all of you, kill this beast!’ Murkel shouted from the top of his lungs.
Belil outside raised his fist.
“I just want to make something clear, none of these guys are my friends.” After finishing his sentence, he charged forward right toward the red Hybrid.
