World Of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats! Chapter 172 - Forbidden Technique!

Chapter 172: Forbidden Technique!

Armstrong took out a few test tubes from his pocket and drank the colorful liquids contained inside!

A few minutes later, he felt an enormous power coursing through is veins!

“Ah! ! !”

Following this, his body was racked with waves of pleasuring pain[1]!

As the temperature in his body rose, he tore off his s.h.i.+rt!

His body which was originally skin and bones was suddenly becoming buff!

His fair skin was gradually replaced by a purplish-black color!

It soon covered his entire body!

At this moment, his face revealed a happy and unhinged expression. His stared at his Multicolored Jellyfish Swarm with bloodshot eyes and shouted, “Come back! My babies! Hahahaha…”

Alice, who had been hiding in the distance, was so frightened by his new appearance that she did not dare to make a sound.

Upon receiving the order, the jellyfishes quickly attached themselves to Armstrong’s body!

Soon, a humanoid purple-black monster covered in tendrils appeared on the spot!

Tristan was shocked!

“This… This is a Beast and Human Fusion[2]! Oh my G.o.d! Such a thing actually exists?”

It was not Tristan’s fault for being so surprised.

After all, Human-Beast Fusion was a technique that was only written in legends!

Moreover, it was also a Forbidden Technique that the Federation had explicitly prohibited. Once someone was discovered to be using it, they would suffer heavy punishment! It was considered to be a great crime!

However, due to how isolated the Holy City was, and due to the lack of witnesses present…

Armstrong decided that there was no harm in using it!

His tongue had enlarged and it was sticking out of his mouth. Moreover, his saliva was constantly dripping!

Armstrong had grown over two meters in height!

After getting used to his body’s new condition, he launched himself forward in a blink of an eye!

Bang!

Thanks to Locke’s quick reaction, he was able to block Armstrong’s powerful punch!

Upon stabilizing himself, Locke discovered that Armstrong’s strength was close to tier-2 Body Tempering!

Locke began to take the battle seriously, and he was racking his brain to come up with combat strategies!

“Hahahaha… Locke, you’re afraid! I can feel it!” Armstrong became more and more unhinghed, and he tossed two cars at Locke!

“This is my trump card! Madness Potion!”

After saying that, more jellyfish flew to his side.

Their tentacles pierced into his body like needles.

Toxins of various colors were quickly injected into his body!

He picked up a jellyfish, stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing.

Locke was surprised.

‘Beastmasters are able to fuse with their own beasts?’

‘His strength seems to have drastically increased…’

‘But it also seems like he has lost his mind…’

‘His appearance is also extremely disgusting!’

Locke decided that regardless of how strong the fusion seemed to be, he refused to learn it!

Armstrong’s attention was now completely focused on Locke.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles popped!

He instantly closed the distance between them that was around fifty meters with a single leap!

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoosh…

Each punch was accompanied by a terrifying sound as it tore through the air.

Armstrong was aiming at Locke’s vital points!

This made Armstrong even more excited!

Had it not been Fire G.o.d’s Armors protection, Armstrong’s frenzied barrage might have already defeated Locke.

The opponent’s speed and strength were considered top-tier! Locke estimated that Armstrong was able to demolish a building with just three punches!

In fact, Armstrong had actually done so!

Due to the Madness Potion’s effect, he wanted to attack everything he saw!

In the process of chasing and dodging Locke, he had already knocked down many houses nearby.

He was even faster than a wrecking ball!

Although his opponent was murderously dangerous, Locke was extremely satisfied!

It had been a long time since he had encountered a challenging opponent!

With full concentration, the strength of Body Tempering was fully awakened. Coupled with the support of Infinite Fire Element and his Gale Wings, Locke decided to enter a melee battle against Armstrong!

Both sides were entangled in a fierce fight!

The speed of their punches and kicks were so fast that even Tristan, an accomplished Beastmaster, was unable to see them clearly!

“Locke… Die! !”

“Locke… Die! !”

Armstrong seemed to have lost some of his ability to form words, and thus, he constantly repeated the same phrase!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…

Both fists kept colliding!

The loud sound could be heard clearly from the next street!

After more than ten minutes, Armstrong began to feel exhausted due to the side effects of his Madness Potion.

His movements also slowed down.

Locke, who was extremely relaxed, was unhappy. “Hey! Get serious! I haven’t had enough fun yet!”

Although Armstrong was constantly bringing forth mana, he knew that the effects of the potion were about to end.

By normal conventions…

Even a gold-tier Beastmaster would have already died several times due to Armstrong’s barrage.

However, Locke showed no signs of fatigue.

Moreover, Armstrong could not use the Madness Potion continuously

Although the power it provided was amazing, his life was more important.

While he was hesitating, Locke seized the opening and threw a punch at Armstrong!

Armstrong intercepted, a thick arm with some blood stains flew in the air!

“AH… !”Armstrong’s pain was not as intense as before due to the influence of the Madness Potion.

He made a prompt decision to flee from Locke.

However, Locke refused to let him off.

With the speed of Gale Wings, Locke quickly caught up with Armstrong, who had taken to the skies!

Bang!

Locke’s punch seemed to shatter the air!

Armstrong spat out blood and fell heavily to the ground!

The pain this time was so intense that he could not speak. He constantly vomited blood.

After stepping on his face, Locke asked, “I thought you could last forever! It’s useless! Forget it, tell me how to neutralize the ketchup’s poison. If you do, I’ll promise not to clobber you to death.”

The effects of the potion began to disappear.

Armstrong, who had returned to his normal size, could finally speak clearly.

However, he did not answer Locke’s question immediately.

He raised his head and shouted, “Quick! Hurry up and ask my father to come! Otherwise, the Trent family’s lineage would end right here!”

These words were said to Alice, who was hiding in the car ruins.

The woman had just seen Locke’s terrifying strength.

She was scared out of her wits.

She trembled as she took out her phone and dialed.

“Someone else is coming? Your father? is he strong?” Locke did not feel any sense of crisis at all. Instead, he was curious about the other party’s strength.

Although Armstrong had already lost, he would definitely not bow down to commoners like Locke.

Even if he had to die, he wanted to protect the n.o.ble dignity that he was so proud of.[3]

[1] Yes, this is what is written in the original text.

[2] I’m pretty sure that Locke fused with Gale Wings to take flight in the past. Though Armstrong’s fusion with his jellyfishes does seem to be drastically different compared to Locke’s.

[3] Another translator will be taking over starting from the next chapter while I handle some real-life stuff. Please forgive them if you spot any butchered terms.
