Chapter 1871 - Grimace with Terrible Temperament
As he spread out his Divine Telekinesis, he found many other outsiders one after another.
Most of them had encountered the local monsters.
Over two hours later, Lin Huang’s Divine Telekinesis finally located his first imperial monster-Grimace.
Grimace had been teleported to an underground snake lair.
In the lair, there were all sorts of snake monsters. However, they did not look normal, and were mutated to different extents.
Some had rotten scales, some had two or even three heads, while others had multiple tails, and even had wings…
The number of snake monsters in the lair seemed to be endless. However, it was almost as if they could not see Grimace, as they allowed him to travel deep into their lair.
All of the snake monsters even went into a frenzy wherever he passed. They attacked everything in their surroundings, including each other.
Just like that, Grimace arrived at the deepest part of the lair without getting hurt at all.
It was a huge underground cave with a giant white python lying inside it.
However, Lin Huang saw that the upper part of its body was human-like. Somehow, there was both a man and a woman.
The two humans were connected to a single white snake tail from the waist down.
“Tsk, tsk. You guys sure are intimate.” Grimace only briefly felt conflicted for a second when he saw the snake monster, after which, his eyes flashed and he teased the monster directly, “Or maybe you guys are actually a single entity?”
The snake monster did not bother to reply and attacked Grimace directly.
The male held a spear in one hand. He stabbed it toward Grimace at lightning speed.
The tip of the spear transformed into bolts of lightning and struck toward him. Meanwhile, the female held swords in both hands and attacked as well.
Sword gleams surrounded Grimace from all directions.
They were a spear cultivator and a sword cultivator combo.
Facing a dominator-level rank-9 spear cultivator and a sword cultivator, Grimace did not dare to be careless at all. He dodged quickly.
Watching the two attacking together, even Lin Huang had surprise flashed through his eyes.
The spear cultivator and sword cultivator’s standards were on par with legitimate spear cultivators and sword cultivators, especially that woman wielding two swords.
Lin Huang speculated that she might be on par with Lancelot. Her sword force was ferocious, yet agile. It was extremely quick. Meanwhile, the spear cultivator was powerful and majestic.
The two complemented each other well when they fought together. There were almost no flaws at all.
Grimace could only dodge forcefully and bear some of the attacks using his substitute skill occasionally. At that moment, it seemed like he had been completely suppressed.
As a spectator, Lin Huang did not panic at all. Although the white python was powerful, its ability was still limited by its grade. It was far from enough to truly suppress Grimace completely.
Lin Huang knew Grimace pretty well. On a certain level, Grimace’s real battle skills were unrivaled against similar-leveled opponents.
There was only one possible method of defeating him, which was if the opponent had terrifying abilities that could suppress him entirely! Otherwise, Grimace could always find ways to turn the tables around.
Although he looked like he was in a passive defensive mode and had close to no ability to fight back at all, Lin Huang knew that he was waiting for the right opportunity. “Hmm?”
As expected, within five minutes, Lin Huang noticed a change on the battlefield.
Grimace suddenly took a step back. He moved out of the battlefield.
It was only then that Lin Huang noticed that Grimace unleashed his ocular skill at some point during the battle.
Meanwhile, the two top halves of the white python on the other side began to fight each other intensely. They seemed to regard each other as archenemies.
“Fortunately, it’s only at Omniscience rank-7. If it was a grade higher, my ocular skill might not have worked.” Grimace patted his wrinkled clothes and began to watch the battle in silence.
At the same time, it was not limited to just this part of the cave, all of the snake monsters in the entire lair were killing each other. They seemed to have fallen into an endless frenzy.
Many snake monsters began to perish in large numbers.
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the lair, the white python with two upper bodies had more and more wounds on its body.
“The more rage, resentment and negative emotions you have, the more you’ll drown in the nightmare that I created. Only death will free you from all of your negative emotions and end the nightmare…”
Grimace was indulging in the scene of the two killing each other.
Lin Huang saw everything. He shook his head feeling helpless. “This guy’s temperament is still so terrible.”
He had not been correcting Grimace’s temperament recently. It was not that he did not want to, but he found out from Xiao Hei that it was simply Grimace’s nature.
All of the imperial monsters had their temperaments reset when they were made into cards. Only their original natures remained. Although they could be changed later, their innate temperaments could not be altered.
Lin Huang had been observing Grimace’s behavior. There would be someone monitoring him every time he went out for missions. Lin Huang had wanted to correct his behavior.
He had also thought of altering his nature, but Xiao Hei did not recommend that, as more serious issues might be triggered.
Lin Huang did not want an imperial monster that was a puppet, so he gave up on changing Grimace’s nature.
However, this guy would still display his terrible side when no one was watching.
Lin Huang was helpless about that.
Grimace’s ocular skill went on for over an hour. The white python’s tail was almost split into two, and the male had finally killed the female.
After all, she was skilled at dodging, but she was bound to the other.
Meanwhile, the male was dying. As he had no one to release his negative emotions on, he finally snapped out of the ocular skill. He saw that he had killed his other half.
It was then that he realized that he had been fighting his other half.
He was completely drained of the Dominator Power in his body, and his vitality was almost gone. He did not have the strength to fight anymore. He could only stare at Grimace in resentment. His final bits of vitality faded away a few seconds later.
At that moment, all of the snake monsters in the lair had already died from killing each other.
There was no life in the huge lair.
A hum came from the deepest part of the lair. Grimace walked toward the white python’s carcass as he hummed a tune. He squatted down to examine it.
“Its physiology is quite strange… Is this a creation of the mystic territory’s master? That master is quite powerful…”
Grimace only put the carcass away a moment later.
He then walked out of the lair and put away the dominator-level carcasses while whistling
Lin Huang watched the entire battle on Grimace’s side without being distracted.
He had never doubted his ability before, but he did not expect him to achieve victory so easily.
