Chapter 631: 480

Those legs looked grotesquely ugly.

His muscle tissue was bulging, wholly red as if he were made of flesh without any skin.

Most importantly, those legs were incredibly long, disproportionately so.

In a word, these were truly two-meter-long legs.

Beelu could even see the upper part of the legs, which had something resembling tattered trousers.

From the small portion of the scene he had observed, he could already picture the monster crouched in the hall like a toad.

This sudden sight almost scared Beelu to death.

In his panic, he carelessly lost his balance and accidentally bumped into the bathroom door.

“Bang!”

The sound of the impact, even under normal circumstances, would be considered loud, let alone in such a quiet environment.

“It’s over!”

A thought appeared in Beelu’s mind.

He could already see the monster breaking through the door and tearing him into pieces.

However, just then, a sound of propeller spinning suddenly came from outside the building.

Immediately followed by fierce gunfire, vaguely mixed with the monster’s growls and human screams.

The monster outside the door, as if attracted by the noise, immediately ran out.

“Is that… a helicopter?”

Beelu was first startled, then suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing that rescue must have arrived.

The sound of the monster leaving was very clear; he knew this was his chance.

Carefully opening a crack in the door, Beelu peeked through the narrow gap.

Once he confirmed that the monster had indeed left, he took two deep breaths and gradually began to open the bathroom door.

“Creak~ Creak~”

The noise of the old wooden door scraping against the wall was particularly harsh, making Beelu’s already anxious heart beat even more nervously.

Eventually, he stopped moving slowly and suddenly pushed the door open with force.

Doing so made the noise considerably quieter than if he had opened the door bit by bit.

The hall still looked the same as before, not wrecked as he had imagined from the monster’s attack.

Only one window was wide open, with the curtains fluttering in the wind, clearly the monster had entered through here.

“Dadada!”

Continuous gunfire came through, from all directions.

Above his head, below his feet, and even from the nearby corridors.

Those who came to support seemed to have merged into the fray with the monster.

However, Beelu had no time to pay attention to this; his mind was entirely focused on the scroll under the bed.

He quickly ran into his bedroom, turned around to close the door and locked it.

Beelu immediately crawled under the bed and dragged out four or five boxes of various sizes.

“Cough cough cough…”

The dust made him cough several times in succession, but he ignored it and kept dragging the boxes.

Finally, a large suitcase was pulled out from the deep part of under the bed.

Beelu used the combination to open it, then casually threw aside a big pile of clothes on top, revealing a finely made scroll underneath.

“Saved, I’m saved!”

His eyes shone brightly as he stared at the item before him, his hands trembling slightly as if he had forgotten about the dangers outside.

He quickly recalled the method the mage had originally mentioned, and Beelu carefully removed the seal from the top.

As the parchment unfolded before him, an eye with a tear appeared in front of him.

Trembling with excitement, Beelu held the edge of the paper, wanting to tear it apart, yet he couldn’t bring himself to do so.

“This… such exquisite paper, such a powerful Extraordinary Item, is it really meant to be torn…?”

A thought popped into his mind.

For a moment, Beelu hesitated.

“That’s right, didn’t the mage say just that, to use it, all you need to do is tear the scroll…”

“But what if I misheard it at the time? Maybe it’s activated by some other method? If I tear it now, won’t that ruin it?”

“No, no, that can’t be it… What exactly did the mage say back then?”

Beelu was uncertain and, somehow, he just couldn’t remember that scene anymore.

What had that mysterious mage said when he left the scroll with him?

He actually knew the answer.

But intense worry and concern had robbed him of his ability to think rationally, and he felt a sense of confusion about his memories.

“Thud!”

Just as he was hesitating, a loud noise suddenly came from the lounge outside the bedroom, followed by a terrifying scream.

“Ambush! Fire, fire quickly!”

A man’s voice rang out, accompanied by a series of gunfire and the monster’s roars.

Beelu was startled by these sudden events, and his mind went blank.

He stopped worrying about his confusion and, exerting some force, tore the exquisite scroll apart.

“Boom!”

The battle outside continued, with terrifying roars growing denser, as if all the monsters in the building had converged there.

“Hand Grenade! Who still has hand grenades? Throw them!”

“Ah! It’s got me! Help me! Help!”

“Captain! I’m out of bullets! There are too many of them! We have to retreat!”

“Damn it, there are monsters behind us too! Everyone, get inside the house! Use the house for cover! Quito, quickly call for help from other squads!”

“Block that door! Pal! Go find some heavy furniture to use! Luke! Cover us! Quito! Don’t stop, keep calling!”

“…”

The shouts of humans and the roars of monsters mixed together, creating a chaotic scene outside.

Beelu felt as if the crowd was getting closer and closer to him, now almost as if they were right up against his face.

“They, they’ve come into my house!”

He was suddenly alarmed, a chill running down his spine.

Beelu had never imagined that the group coming to rescue them would not only fail to drive away those monsters but would also lead a large number of them to him.

“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!”

Beelu cursed repeatedly in his mind.

He had thought he was about to be safe, but then those guys deviated from the plan and drew all the building’s monsters to them.

Although the monsters outside the door had been temporarily cleared, he could clearly hear more creatures running towards him.

What he hadn’t noticed yet was this.

His hearing was becoming increasingly sharp.
