Chapter 1689 - 1151: A Criminal Unworthy of Humanity (Part 2)

Regarding this, whether Reiger was surprised or not can be put aside for the moment, Matthew was extremely surprised.

"How could it be? It really is Mr. Beryl?" Matthew said incredulously, "Why would Mr. Beryl turn into a Beast?"

That posture, that power, is clearly what belonged to Koyanskaya as a Beast.

Matthew’s system, which included a detection system, was able to detect a spirit origin almost identical to the previous Koyanskaya.

So, at first, Matthew thought it was Koyanskaya making a comeback.

Who could have thought that it wasn’t Koyanskaya making a comeback, but Beryl, the one who had been in hiding.

Although he was in hiding, he was still just a human. It was impossible for him to be a Beast.

Moreover, the spirit origin and power clearly belonged to Koyanskaya. How could they suddenly appear on Beryl?

Matthew couldn’t comprehend all of this.

Only Reiger speculated something.

"Did you eat Koyanskaya’s tail?"

Reiger’s precise speculation surprised not only Matthew but also Beryl.

"You actually know?"

Beryl was quite surprised.

"Eat, ate the tail?"

Matthew was somewhat confused about what Reiger meant.

Seeing this, Reiger explained out loud.

"Beryl Gate, this person is actually the offspring of a witch and a human."

The so-called witch refers to magicians who can use ancient sorcery systems.

There are many legends and anecdotes about witches in the history of pan-humanity, one of which is... they possess ways to transform into animals.

Although it requires meeting various conditions and cannot be achieved overnight, there are shortcuts in everything.

If you collect elements from the "creature you want to become" and consume them, you can use ancient sorcery to directly transform into that animal.

Beryl Gate is a child born from the union of such an existence and a human.

For this reason, Beryl had been exposed to and learned a lot of sorcery since childhood, including ancient spells that require life or even a soul as a price.

Bawan Xi learned a lot of sorcery from Beryl, but this was not a good thing.

In the original story, under Beryl’s incitement, Bawan Xi used sorcery at the cost of her soul, extracting Woodworth’s heart with one blow, causing her body to decay later, almost leading to her direct death.

In the past, Bawan Xi would suddenly turn into that neither human nor ghostly appearance, probably also due to Beryl’s sorcery.

And in the original story, Beryl had also swallowed Woodworth’s heart, gaining A-rank power, allowing him to transform into the flipped Heat Archduke, with power almost indistinguishable from Woodworth at his peak.

Recalling this plot, Reiger, upon seeing Beryl appear in his ornamental beast form and able to manipulate its power, naturally guessed the reason instantly.

After all, Koyanskaya had already been defeated by him once, and that fox woman also had the ability to survive by sacrificing a tail. Knowing these things, Reiger naturally could easily guess the reason.

However, Reiger was still quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, after Woodworth’s death, Beryl actually chose to devour Koyanskaya’s tail.

With the fully transparent world activated, Reiger could see the gigantic beast looming in the black storm, whose appearance was exactly the same as the ornamental beast he had faced directly, the only difference being the number of tails.

The ornamental beast that Koyanskaya transformed into had multiple tails.

But the ornamental beast that Beryl Gate transformed into only had one tail.

"Is it because he only ate one tail?"

No wonder Beryl managed to successfully transform into an ornamental beast.

If it were a fully developed Beast, Reiger didn’t think a mere human could incorporate such vast power.

However, Koyanskaya herself was still incomplete, only the immature form of a Beast, and the power left behind in her tail was also limited. This actually gave Beryl the possibility of mastering its power.

If it were a tail from a fully developed Beast’s body, Beryl would surely die instantly if he dared swallow it.

But if it’s just a tail from an immature Beast’s body, Beryl can endure it, although it would still not be easy, at least he could succeed.

"Reiger Brillhaut."

Not knowing what was on Reiger’s mind, Beryl suddenly spoke up.

"I know you’re strong, although we’ve had conflicts before, the level of those conflicts can indeed be resolved if you’re willing."

"There’s no deep-seated hatred between us, is there?"

"You’re not from Chaldea, nor from the pan-human history. Even though I’m in hiding, we have no reason to be enemies, right?"

Upon hearing this, Reiger’s eyes immediately narrowed more tightly.

"Not from pan-human history?"

But it was Matthew who looked rather surprised.

She knew Reiger wasn’t a person from the British Lostbelt.

Thus, she always thought Reiger, like Chaldea, was a survivor from the bleached pan-human history.

But now, Beryl was saying that Reiger wasn’t from pan-human history?

This made Matthew very surprised.

Of course, more surprising was the conversation that followed between the two of them.

"Did Alberon tell you that?" Reiger said without any surprise, "So you two are collaborating, huh?"

"It’s not really collaborating, just temporarily acting together based on a common goal." Beryl sneered, "Although his real target is Morgan, not Chaldea, I’m not on Morgan’s side either."

"How, how could this be?" Matthew, unable to care about the huge amount of information revealed in their conversation, said in shock, "Weren’t Mr. Beryl and Morgan on the same side?"

The king of this British Lostbelt was undoubtedly Morgan, this was undeniable.

An Inquisitor’s mission was to guard the Tree of Empty Wishes and engage external threats alongside the Lostbelt King, allowing the fantasy to become reality.

Thus, an Inquisitor and the Lostbelt King naturally shared the same position. The former wanted to protect the Tree of Empty Wishes, the latter wanted to protect the Lostbelt that was established by the power of the Tree of Empty Wishes, with no necessity for opposition between them.

This was also why Beryl immediately showed up in New Darlington, and went in and out freely with the Queen’s adopted daughter, Bawan Xi, without anyone suspecting him.

Morgan also said she had a collaborative relationship with Beryl.

The reason she was able to master the Chaldean Spiritron Transfer System and Spirit Summoning System was also thanks to Beryl, a former Chaldea Master.

Beryl had always been working under Morgan’s orders and could freely enter and exit the royal city.

Yet now, he claimed not to be on Morgan’s side?

Isn’t that strange?

While Matthew was thinking this, Beryl went on to say.

"Because she’s too boring."

Beryl coldly uttered these words, making one’s heart shudder.

Indeed.

In Beryl’s view, Morgan is a very boring person.

"For the sake of an illusory dream, she has protected this Britain made of remnants for thousands of years and relentlessly held on. Such a woman is the most boring."

Beryl said with a smile as if he was stating the obvious.

"Since she’s a boring woman, isn’t it best to kill her?"

This was Beryl’s reason.

A simple, yet chilling reason.

Just because she was boring, this man betrayed Morgan.

But, this is the true nature of Beryl Gate.

A murderer with the purpose of pleasure, a criminal unworthy of being human.

Killing boring people, killing those with a reason to be killed, then killing those who would be pitiful if murdered; this is the unknown obsession in the heart of this man, Beryl Gate.

For this, he could ignore all consequences to kill everyone he thought should be killed.

Clearly, Morgan was one of them.

And then...

"The woman I’m truly interested in has always been only you, Matthew."

Amidst Matthew’s shocked and dazed expression, Beryl began to laugh softly.

"Give Matthew to me, Reiger Brillhaut."

"If you do that, I will let you go."
