Chapter 612: The Terrifying Transformation, the Anticipated Jier
Jier's state was somewhat manic; the excitement of the intense battle just now had not yet faded, and he was in a state of extreme agitation.
If it were him in his usual state, he would certainly rationally consider how to maximize his interests and personal morality, but now, he only wanted to fight to his heart's content once more, to ignite all of his combat potential and enjoy the satisfaction of a hearty, vigorous battle.
As his personal combat level improved, Jier felt more and more that fighting ordinary enemies was meaningless. Supported by immense strength, an ordinary person would be fatally struck by a "light" punch from him; what was the point of that?
And if he swung his fist with force, an ordinary person would even have their body blown apart by him.
Blown apart in the literal sense—the kind where they are torn to pieces and flesh and blood go flying.
Moreover, after Knight Training, as long as he circulates the Life Energy within his body during battle, his reaction speed is significantly improved, and the intuitive manifestation of this is that other people's speed becomes slower.
This further lowers the pleasure of battle; watching his subordinate soldiers train is like watching a group of slow-moving sloths in action.
This left Jier with no interest in sparring with his subordinate soldiers.
And if he does not activate the Life Energy within his body, then fighting is of course alright, but without exerting his true strength, what meaning does such training have for him?
Furthermore, that intense battle of just a few minutes ago brought Jier an incomparable combat experience and combat knowledge; that kind of high-speed battle on the edge of life and death was something he could hardly have imagined on his own before experiencing it personally.
"Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!!"
After sending the entire bottle of 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】 into the mouth of Knight Hate, Jier grinned excitedly as he watched the other party swallow it all in small gulps.
The empty bottle used was tossed aside by Jier; although one could take the used empty bottle of such a valuable potion to find an apothecary and purchase a second bottle at a low price, this bottle of 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】 was obtained from Yamila, who came from the Ophirine Kingdom, and it was unlikely he would ever find and meet that apothecary from the enemy country in this lifetime to find them and buy another bottle of potion at a low price.
So Jier threw the potion bottle away directly.
He picked up two Dwarf Soldier Spears, looked at them, and felt that he had already accumulated some combat experience with spears, so next he should accumulate more combat experience with long swords. Thus, Jier glanced at the north side of the Yingdi and saw Xueya Site rubbing his eyes, then immediately shouted: "Siter! Help me watch these two weapons!"
The next moment, he swung his arm with force, throwing the two Dwarf Soldier Spears one after another far toward the large tree where his companion was.
Whoosh, whoosh—
The two spears were thrown one after the other, with slightly different flight trajectories, onto the trunk of the large tree where Xueya Site was, but Jier forgot that both of these Dwarf Soldier Spears had been activated with Dwarf Rune and had gained the 【Sharp】 magic bonus; they were not at all just the sharpness possessed by a simple metal spear tip.
With two "puff" sounds, the two spears were as smooth as a hot knife cutting through butter, easily piercing through the trunk of the large tree where Xueya Site was. The entire spear body penetrated the trunk of the large tree, which was nearly a meter thick, and then, following an arc-shaped flight trajectory, continued to pierce through four or five more large trees before finally stopping.
Seeing this scene, Jier grinned in slight embarrassment, then drew his own long sword—Hunting Sword, patted the body of the long sword to encourage it with a few words, then stepped back a few paces and stood in place, leaning on the sword.
He first felt the Sun God Divine Power on the long sword, and after hesitating for a moment, Jier raised the long sword above his head and released all the Sun God Divine Power on the long sword at once.
The entire Yingdi was illuminated!
In the middle of the afternoon, with the sun hanging high at the zenith, the entire Yingdi built by the Defeated Soldier was, for a brief moment, enveloped by the white light released by the Hunting Sword.
The Mao Mao who had run far away before, and the Defeated Soldier, most of them were looking at the situation here with terror at this moment; who knew that after being temporarily Blinding for a while before, Jier would do it again this time?
As the white light flashed, everyone inside and outside the entire Yingdi, except for those inside the buildings, was once again Blinding by the Sun God Divine Power.
They cursed and wailed, crawling away on their hands and feet once again toward a place far from the battlefield of the two knights; everyone had a premonition that with Jier doing this, the terrible battle from just before was clearly going to happen again.
'Haven't you already won?' Many people and many Mao Mao complained in their hearts like this; only the Adjutant Piluo did not run far, just squatting in the entrance pit of the wooden house, letting himself be temporarily Blinding, pricking up his ears, and trying hard to pay attention to the place where the two knights were.
"The one fed just now, it must be the 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】! It must be, it definitely is, it certainly is!" He muttered to himself; there were many things he could not understand, such as Jier's identity. From the chaos this morning until now, Jier had never revealed his identity, and Knight Hate had previously thought he would win and had not asked, so until now, these Defeated Soldier did not know where such a powerful person came from.
And whether the potion Jier fed Knight Hate just now was the 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】 that Knight Hate had been waiting for?
If it was, then how did this thing get into this person's hands? Could this young man be the agreed-upon trading partner they had been waiting for? But why would he kill his way out with the alien Beast and fight against them?
There were simply too many things he did not understand, and it was difficult to verify them, so Adjutant Piluo had no choice but to squat in place, letting himself be Blinding by the magical power of the church; he waited, waiting for a miracle to happen, waiting for things to take a turn for the better.
If everything took a sharp turn for the worse in the end, then he was naturally prepared to commit suicide. A person can die, but the dignity and glory of the family must be preserved.
He even thought that if Knight Hate had been defeated and captured on the battlefield at the beginning and had committed suicide then, there would not have been this series of events that followed.
After releasing all the Sun God Divine Power on the Hunting Sword without leaving any behind, Jier's entire body's black shadow divine power was poured in large quantities onto the long sword. Soon, the entire long sword, except for the metal plate engraved with praises to the Sun God which had no shadow divine power, was basically covered by shadow divine power in other places.
The entire long sword looked exceptionally terrifying and evil, but full of power.
Where the sword tip touched the ground, the shadow divine power here was constantly attacking the ground it touched, pushing aside, destroying, and twisting the ground the sword tip touched.
Jier breathed slowly, adjusting his entire state, waiting for Knight Hate in front to rise again and fight again.
And as for Knight Hate, after taking the 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】, he looked ordinary at first, still in a dying state with more air going out than coming in; his chest did not even rise and fall, and his hands and feet were motionless, as if he had been dead for a long time.
But Jier's keen senses could perceive that in front of him, this seemingly dying Human was actually surging with powerful life force within his body at this moment.
"Hoo..."
Knight Hate, in a state of deep coma, let out a groan, and then his hands, covered in steel Gauntlet, clenched involuntarily.
Subsequently, his chest began to rise and fall, his hands and feet began to tremble and sway slightly, and his entire blood-covered head and face began to sway slightly.
Then Jier saw an incredible scene.
Knight Hate's head of golden hair was actually gradually falling off in large patches as his head swayed involuntarily?
What does this mean? Could it be that using something like 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】 also causes hair loss?
Jier felt that this potion was very terrifying; one must know that hair is not easy to grow, and he did not know if using this potion would bring about some different changes to the hair follicles on a Human's scalp. If one could only be a bald man in the future, then he could only say that fortunately, he did not rashly take this potion.
He himself had a patch of Treatment Mushroom given to him by the old fairy in the Lady's Dream; no matter what the injury was, as long as he entered the Lady's Dream and lay on that patch of mushrooms the size of a person, his injuries would miraculously get better without needing extra nutrition or extra body tissue filling.
And the healing speed was extremely fast; small injuries would heal in ten minutes or so, the time it takes to smoke a few cigarettes. As for serious injuries, he only needed to sleep on that soft mushroom patch, and it would automatically heal by the time he woke up.
Therefore, Jier himself did not think that the 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】 that could heal injuries was anything remarkable, and he had no clear concept of how valuable Yamila said this thing was.
Seeing Knight Hate, who had taken the potion, losing large patches of hair at this moment, he was even more glad that he had the idea of not using this thing.
The body he was reborn into was relatively ordinary in appearance to begin with; if he lost his hair, it would be even uglier. After all, he was a young man in his teens now, and he still needed to strive for his image.
Although when he was in the Refugee Team, more than once the female Refugee under his command had sent him various kinds of "invitations," Jier would not just lose control and fall into it.
Playing around casually was fine, of course, but once he had intimate contact with any female Refugee, and the other party then used her relationship with him to stir up trouble in the Refugee Team, that would be a very troublesome thing!
After all, at that time, the Refugee Team was basically relying on his deterrence and prestige to hold on; once such a troublesome thing was done, whether the whole team could hold on until the Babotali Valley behind the Huitou Forest was another matter.
Back to the present, the medicinal effect of Knight Hate seemed to be taking hold; he had completely changed from his previous half-dead appearance, and his movements in the coma were gradually becoming larger.
His legs were kicking incessantly, pushing the mud and stones under his feet into two small mounds, and his hands were also starting to tug at his Knight Armor, as if he were feeling extremely uncomfortable and stifled.
Seeing this, Jier narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped forward a few paces, and used the tip of the long sword filled with shadow divine power to lightly tap the various connecting Lock on the other party's Knight Armor.
The armor on Knight Hate was well-crafted; although the front had been melted by the gushing of high-temperature flames, melting quite a bit of decorative metal, the thick steel that served as the main body, as well as the all-metal connecting Lock under the entire steel armor, were all intact.
The parts of these places that connected the armor not only had all-metal Lock, but the connecting belts were also not made of animal skin, but were sturdy, belt-like woven fabrics made of fine metal wires.
Ordinary swords and blades hacking at them probably wouldn't even leave a white mark; they were very sturdy and solid, and could also maintain a certain degree of flexibility and agility.
Jier estimated it was worth a high price; it must have been the work of a renowned master armorer.
However, these metal connecting locks could not hold out for long under the contact of the shadow Divine Power, which was filled with a mission of destruction.
The tip of the Long Sword in Jier's hand was like an angle grinder or a high-temperature spray gun; after he pressed it firmly against these metal locks, in just over ten seconds, these exceptionally sturdy locks were destroyed by the shadow Divine Power and snapped into several pieces.
After destroying seven or eight important armor connection points on the front of the armor in turn, Jier stepped back and stood firm, leaning on his sword, watching the changes in Knight Hartna with a serious expression.
Sure enough, there was a reason why Knight Hartna had been scratching his body unconsciously before; because after the armor's connections were released, Jier could clearly see that Knight Hartna's chest was much more robust than before, and the whole person seemed to have grown a size larger.
Therefore, the Knight Armor that had originally fit well, or even too well (during the previous battle, the knight's skin had been burned and stuck to the inner layer of the armor due to high-temperature scalding), had instead become a shackle.
The sturdy and heavy knight steel armor was subconsciously torn open by Knight Hartna and thrown aside, and the set of Ring Mail under the steel armor was also continuously torn open by Knight Hartna's hands.
The steel metal rings kept snapping open and flying around. And under the Ring Mail, the skin that had originally been stuck to the Ring Mail was not seen by Jier.
What Jier saw were some fine scales gradually growing and appearing on Knight Hartna's chest?
This discovery surprised Jier, and he immediately looked at Knight Hartna's head and face, only to find that at this time, Knight Hartna's hair had long since fallen out, and many small scales squeezed out from under the skin had appeared on his face and the top of his head.
Not only that, one of Knight Hartna's ears, which had been rubbed off by the ground when he fell earlier, and the other ear, which had been injured by Jier and split into upper and lower sections, now actually withered directly, and after the visible flesh tissue was sucked into the ear canal, the outermost layer of skin fell off directly.
What remained was just a simple ear canal, and the entire area around the ear canal was covered with sturdy scales.
New changes also appeared at Knight Hartna's temples; objects similar to keratinization actually surged from under the skin, gradually pushing the skin open. Were those a pair of tender yet reddish-brown horns?
And Knight Hartna's eyelids also changed; the fleshy eyelids were gradually replaced, becoming double-layered eyelids—one layer was a transparent membrane-like substance, and the other was a sturdy eyelid with scales.
The knight's nose also gradually became flat and sturdy within the deforming face. The nose hair inside the nostrils also fell out and was blown out by the gradually heavier breathing, and the knight's teeth—from his slightly ferocious expression, he would occasionally open his mouth, revealing the teeth full of sharp fangs inside.
"He doesn't look like a human anymore! He's simply a, uh, Lizardman!"
Jier exclaimed.
Immediately, he was full of anticipation, looking forward to Knight Hartna becoming even more powerful than before, so they could have a great battle!
At the same time, Knight Hartna's arms also became thick and sturdy. After feeling that the armor on his arms was too tight, the knight himself subconsciously pulled off the shoulder armor, Arm Guard, and the like, and even threw away his Gauntlet, revealing a pair of arms covered in scales, thick and sturdy. The nails at the tips of his fingers had even turned into deep-colored, sturdy sharp claws. If a normal person were grabbed by such a pair of arms, they would probably lose their life instantly!
Not only that, the most astonishing change came from behind Knight Hartna; he actually sprouted a thick tail from under his Skirt Armor, though it was unclear how!
This thing was over a meter long, and the source of the material composing it, like Knight Hartna's body which had inflated as if blown up by air, was unknown. Could it be from that bottle of 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】? But that would be too absurd, right?
Jier did not know that part of the extra substance on Knight Hartna's body at this time naturally came from the nutrient-rich Potion, while the other part came from the large amount of Monster meat in Knight Hartna's stomach that had not yet been fully digested.
Previously, when the knight was seriously injured and unconscious, the large amount of Monster meat he had eaten was waiting to be digested in his stomach; at this moment, it was just utilized by the transformation effect of the Potion and converted into the state of the knight's own body.
But if Knight Hartna had been weighed before taking the Potion and weighed again now, the weight of both would actually be the same.
In other words, although Knight Hartna's body now looks a size sturdier and resembles a Lizardman, his body is actually hollow, and his overall weight has not changed at all. One must take the transformation Potion in a conscious state and continuously consume food during the transformation process; that is the normal way to use a transformation Potion.
If there is a lack of energy and sufficient material support, the transformation effect will be greatly shortened, and the transformation effect will not be very good.
Of course, this is not important at all to the unconscious Knight Hartna, and it is also not important to Jier, who is full of anticipation for an intense battle.
The eyes under the double-layered eyelids trembled; the unconscious Knight Hartna was about to wake up. The transformation of the Potion would utilize the Lizardman's self-healing ability to treat the serious injuries on his body, and the severe concussion caused by Jier's sword strike just now was naturally also within the scope of treatment and self-healing.
