Chapter 1507: Chapter 1505: Bloodline
The door to the [Surveillance Room] was locked.
Three arrows struck the âDoctorâs body.
In this situation, the morbid woman skilled in Potion Manufacturing suddenly let out a burst of laughter:
âHahaha! Previously, I secretly communicated with the Doctor, and we guessed there was only a 13% chance you were the assassin⊠I never expected your acting to be this good. Turns out youâre actually posing as an assassin, and you even have a method of avoiding Zombie detection.
Before coming here, were you a âProfessional Con Artistâ?
But honestly, the âtrapâ you set up is pathetically subpar⊠You went to such great lengths with deception, even at the cost of injecting yourselves with slow-acting poison.
Yet all that for merely firing a few insignificant arrows at us?â
Han Dong, who had just closed the door, responded coldly:
âIf we set up more traps, you wouldâve probably detected them in advance, wouldnât you?
Besides, the goal was just to lure you here. Managing to land three arrows already exceeds expectations.â
âYouâd better start worrying about yourself⊠I have a method to directly activate the slow-acting poison in your system.â
As soon as her words endedâ
Swish! A needle coated in some potion shot out swiftly. Han Dong, seemingly unable to dodge in time, raised his right arm to block it.
The needle injected the potion straight into Han Dongâs arm⊠The poison activated.
âThe poison is now active. Soon, your body will dissolve into countless gaping holes, and only your brain functions will persist until the very end⊠Youâll watch as your body decays into a Bug Nest, dying in utter despair.â
In that instant, veins bulged across Han Dongâs face, as if his body had begun to rot, with pain spreading through him.
âHahaha! Feeling it now?
For assassins as unranked as you, daring to target usâhonestly, I canât comprehend your level of stupidity. Itâs absolutely laughable, haha!
Still, I must thank you. Weâre very satisfied with the [Surveillance Room]! And thank you for delivering those 10 Ladybug Points!â
The morbid woman laughed hysterically, as if she had gone mad.
At that momentâ
Han Dongâs seemingly agonized state abruptly changed.
With force surging through his right arm, he pinched the needle embedded in his arm between two fingers⊠Swish! He locked onto his target and threw it with full strength.
The morbid woman, convinced Han Dong was already doomed, was entirely unguarded.
Caught off guard by the sudden needle, whoosh! It sank directly into her eye.
âAahhh!!â A blood-curdling scream echoed through the [Surveillance Room].
Listening to her screams, Han Dong felt an overwhelming sense of comfort, spreading his arms and trembling slightly.
âAhh! My eye!
Why are you still alive⊠Impossible! My poison cannot possibly fail against any organic body.â
Han Dong stared at her mockingly, âIt seems you havenât truly understood yourself yet. But donât worry⊠Iâll make sure you properly realize it soon.â
At that momentâ
The man in the raincoat, addressed as the [Doctor], began to act.
A strange power originating from his body erupted outward⊠Crack! The three arrows lodged within him were shattered entirely and fell to the floor.
The slowing effect from the arrows barely hindered him.
With heavy steps, he approached Han Dong.
Swish, swish~
Two more arrows were fired from the corners, one aimed at his head and the other at his knee.
A terrifying scene unfolded.
Whoosh!
A silver light, shaped like five fingers, slashed through the air, precisely severing the airborne arrows.
âIs that⊠a claw?â
Exuding an oppressive aura, the Doctor moved to stand before Han Dong.
Clang! Sparks flew.
A fully metallic claw extending from his fist clashed against the Ghoul Claws⊠In terms of strength, the Doctor held the upper hand, forcing Han Dong into a slow retreat.
Even stranger, the arm exposed outside his raincoat sprouted black fur.
âSuch power! And itâs still growingâŠâ
Just as Han Dong prepared to kick and create some distanceâ
A giant size-50 shoe, leveraging the Doctorâs long legs, struck Han Dongâs abdomen first!
Thin and just 1.7 meters in height, Han Dong was sent flying by the kick, the impression of the shoeâs sole visibly sinking into his abdominal cavity.
He crashed into a wall and dropped to one knee⊠Blegh!
The contents of his stomach spilled outward.
âNicholas, let me out already⊠With your current body, thereâs no way you can defeat this guy.â
The Count within Han Dong sensed the extreme danger. Another strike like that, and Han Dongâs body wouldnât hold up.
âHuff! Iâm still barely managing⊠Count, youâre my final card. For someone of this caliber, I canât reveal you too early. When the moment is right, Iâll rely on you.â
Drawing on Dark Blood Essence, he suppressed the searing pain in his abdomen and stabilized his injuries.
Just as Han Dong raised his head, preparing to stand againâ
The size-50 shoe loomed into view, blocking his sight.
The [Doctor] had no intention of giving Han Dong any breathing room. If this kick connected, Han Dongâs skull would be completely shattered.
At the critical moment, Han Dong caught a faint, tantalizing scent that sparked desire.
Immediately after, a slender, soft long leg swept past Han Dongâs ear with a kick.
In terms of size, it was nowhere near the Doctorâs.
However, upon collision⊠Boom! The entire [Surveillance Room] quaked.
The towering Doctor was forced three steps back, his gazeâfrom within the hood of his raincoatâfixed on the mysterious woman who also retreated three steps.
It seemed he couldnât comprehend how such strength could come from a woman.
Meanwhileâ
The morbid woman, whose eye had been destroyed, regained her composure amidst the pain.
Draining two vials of body-enhancing potions in quick succession, she pulled out two bizarre spiral-shaped daggers, entering a peculiar combat stance.
âDoctor, release all your restraints⊠I donât want to see the hideous faces of these two any longer.â
âAlright. Their strength is indeed worthy of me removing all my restraints.â
Han Dong frowned.
The Doctor, already towering at 1.9 meters, began to grow furtherâŠ
The raincoat split apart, the shoes burst open.
A 2.1-meter-tall Gray Werewolf emerged, revealing metallic claws embedded into both his hands.
However, the truly frightening aspect was his âBloodlineââthe Werewolf Bloodline was a reward the Doctor had gained from a previous event.
âBloodlinesâ cannot be purchased from the Ladybug Store. Theyâre available only through special events or high-difficulty games by meeting specific conditions.
Assassins who possess a Bloodline are unquestionably among the gameâs strongest players.
Typicallyâ
Upon witnessing the Doctorâs werewolf transformation, other assassins would flee, their fighting spirit crushed.
But Han Dongâs response was entirely different.
He neither attempted to flee nor displayed a trace of fear.
Instead, he appeared barely able to contain his excitement. His Mad Laugh Attribute surged to its peak.
âHahaha⊠hahaha!
âNow thatâs more like it⊠Those two assassins who ambushed us by the store earlier were utterly boring! Come on, letâs slaughter each other to our heartsâ content!
âItâs been far too long since Iâve felt this alive while teaching at Mi University!â
Even without unlocking the âMad Laugh Attribute,â the manic laughter erupting from within Han Dong made everyoneâs skin crawl.
Paired with such deranged statements, the Doctor vaguely glimpsed, within Han Dongâs pupils, a multitude of scenes he had never encountered before. A succession of powerful entities had been reduced to skeletons, crushed beneath Han Dongâs feet.
In that moment, the werewolf-form Doctor took an involuntary step back, his fur bristling.
