The next second, Ada put away her MP5 submachine guns, replacing it with a sharp dagger.
As the distance between them grew shorter, Ada slightly turned her body, the sharp dagger glinting coldly as she plunged it fiercely towards Pesanta the Houndsman's head.
Ada never intended to have close contact with the monster Pesanta; her only intention was to reveal the true face of this black-robed monster!
So…
"Pfft—!"
Ada, holding her grappling hook, passed Pesanta the Houndsman, but suddenly a thick black cloth appeared in her hand—it was the black hooded robe that covered Pesanta the Houndsman.
At this moment, it had been mercilessly cut off by Ada.
After doing all this, Ada casually tossed the black cloth aside and gracefully swayed down to the ground.
She had just said she would reveal the true face of this black-robed monster, and naturally, she wouldn't go back on her word… So now, it was time to see the true face of this black-robed monster!
Turning her head,
As the black hooded robe was pulled back, Pesanta the Houndsman's true face was completely exposed to everyone—
It was a monstrous creature with an indescribably hideous face…
Its form bore no resemblance to any creature on Earth; it was like a special chimera, a stitched-together fusion forcibly assembled by someone.
No… it was even more grotesque and bizarre than a chimera.
The first thing that caught the eye was its stitched, bald head.
As always, these mutated monsters had no fur, only a round, bald head, topped with a triangular red fleshy net.
Its eyes glowed with an unusual red light, and the most peculiar feature was its mouth; it wasn't as hideous as one might imagine.
Instead, it had a long, crimson tongue, about half a meter long.
If one had to describe it, it resembled a long-tongued ghost whose tongue had been pulled out.
But one must not underestimate this crimson tongue; it was like a chameleon's, capable of instantly shooting out and transforming into a deadly spear-like thrust attack, a very cold hidden weapon.
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"
And upon seeing its appearance exposed in plain sight,
Pesanta the Houndsman seemed to fall into a fit of rage, letting out a furious roar.
Its three-pronged sharp claws directly tore open the black robe on its body, completely revealing its true form, stark naked.
Since Ada, Javier, and these damned rats wanted to behold the true face of death, then they should gaze upon it quickly!
Because the next second,
It was going to unleash a massacre—
Its three-pronged sharp claws were not much different from Executioner Verdugo's scythe-like claws, except Pesanta the Houndsman's claws more closely resembled the three hooked claws of a claw machine.
Its entire body was grayish-black, with a slightly hunched back and equally grotesque muscles.
Its legs stood like those of a giant lizard.
Although Pesanta the Houndsman's muscles were massive and strong, they were not covered by any carapace, which indicated that its defensive power was not as absurd as Executioner Verdugo's.
And among them, the most striking feature,
Undoubtedly, was the enormous tail dragging behind Pesanta the Houndsman, as thick as a crocodile's tail, but without any scales.
Instead, it had another monstrous worm head growing on it, eyeless but with a sharp, grotesque abyss-like maw, and on either side of its gaping mouth were mandibles like those of a stag beetle.
After all, compared to Executioner Verdugo's sharp blade-like tail, Pesanta the Houndsman's Big Tooth Worm tail was undoubtedly even more terrifying and horrifying!
And this…
Was almost Pesanta the Houndsman's complete form.
As stated at the beginning, this monster bore no resemblance to any known creature, like a bizarre species stitched together.
However, even so, it seemed to not affect its terrifying strength.
"Hoo hoo hoo…!!!"
A low growl came,
Without any hesitation, Pesanta the Houndsman launched its attack first.
Its crimson eyes flashed, and its three-pronged sharp claws suddenly transformed.
Three long tentacles quickly dropped down, like three rubber whips, and after locking onto Ada's direction, they swiftly lashed out fiercely!
"Bang—!"
"Boom— — — —!!!"
A loud explosion,
The whipping speed of the tentacle whips was incredibly fast.
A sonic boom echoed in her ears, and the extended tentacle whips rapidly struck.
Ada's face changed upon seeing this, and she quickly rolled to the left, dodging in her high heels.
The long whip lashed fiercely against the floor with a dull thud, and the entire sturdy floor was split into countless pieces, with a web of cracks and dust spreading outwards.
Missing its target,
Pesanta the Houndsman was not in a hurry.
Instead, it retracted its tentacle whips, and its arms reverted to their original three-pronged sharp claws.
The thick muscles of its legs tensed, and like a steel rhinoceros trampling, it immediately charged headlong towards Ada's direction.
"Roar—!!!"
At the same time,
The terrifying Big Tooth Worm tail suddenly opened its blood-red maw, its mandibles spread wide, like two sharp large scissors ready to snap shut at any moment.
If this tail were to hit Ada's body, it could instantly cut her in half…!
Chapter 72: Raging Fury
Seeing Pesanta the Houndsman's Big Tooth Worm tail suddenly strike, Ada's expression changed, and she quickly pulled out the grappling hook from her thigh again and pulled the trigger, intending to use the rope to swing herself away and escape again.
However,
Pesanta the Houndsman's attack seemed to be a step faster than Ada's speed.
Just as the sharp mandibles were about to touch Ada's slender waist, Ada's grappling hook had just been drawn and was ready to fire.
The difference in their reactions was significant.
"Bang!"
"Boom— — — —!!!"
However,
Javier used his Barrett M82A1 to bridge this time gap.
Seeing the attack about to hit Ada, Javier quickly pulled the trigger.
With a loud bang, the powerful Barrett bullet instantly roared out, shooting towards the flailing Big Tooth Worm tail.
"Hoo hoo hoo…"
And at this moment, it was incredibly peculiar,
Pesanta the Houndsman seemed to have already anticipated the terrifying power of Javier's Barrett.
Upon hearing that loud bang,
It immediately retracted its massive, thick tail, showing no intention of continuing to attack Ada.
And it was precisely because of this action,
That Pesanta the Houndsman escaped a disaster; the powerful incendiary armor-piercing round did not hit Pesanta the Houndsman's massive, thick tail but was fortunately dodged.
The bullet hit the wall behind it, leaving a deep bullet hole.
If the previous bullet had successfully hit Pesanta the Houndsman, its massive, thick tail would have likely been instantly incapacitated.
Judging by the previous power, leaving a fist-sized wound on that terrifying and grotesque Big Tooth Worm tail would have been more than enough.
And Pesanta the Houndsman was not much stronger than Executioner Verdugo; it certainly couldn't withstand many shots.
So, missing that opportunity just now,
Was truly a bit regrettable—
"Pfft…"
"Whoosh—!!!"
On the other side,
Thanks to Javier's cover, Ada also successfully escaped.
The grappling hook was successfully fired, and the tough steel wire immediately pulled Ada away from her original position, successfully creating a safe distance between herself and Pesanta the Houndsman.
The situation just now was very dangerous.
If it weren't for Javier's cover, Ada would have been half a beat too slow and suffered a fatal attack.
This also served as a reminder to Ada that she must never be so reckless again; she needed to be more careful and vigilant.
"Hoo hoo hoo…!!!"
Pesanta the Houndsman, having retracted its massive, thick tail, also let out a low growl.
Its crimson eyes watched Javier in the distance with great vigilance, its gaze fixed on the Barrett in Javier's hand.
By biological instinct,
Pesanta the Houndsman could feel the lethality of the bullet just fired.
If that kind of gun attack hit its head, there would absolutely be no chance of survival.
That kind of bullet had absolute penetrative power, and its flesh and blood could not stop it.
This was Pesanta the Houndsman's most intuitive reaction when facing the Barrett…
Therefore,
Now Pesanta the Houndsman's attention was entirely focused on Javier.
The attacks of the other people posed no threat to Pesanta; only Javier was different.
So, to completely wipe out these rats, it first had to completely kill Javier.
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"
And without further ado,
Pesanta the Houndsman, having determined its target, immediately aimed its attack at Javier.
Its head instantly turned, and after a roar, the three-pronged sharp claws in its hand once again transformed into long whips and swung over fiercely.
"Whoosh— — — —!!!"
The speed of the attack,
And the range of the attack were very far.
It was about five meters long.
Since Javier couldn't counterattack on the spot, he could only carry the Barrett and dodge first.
Leon and Luis, who were beside him, also changed their expressions slightly and quickly pulled Ashley, the girl, to disperse.
This monster's attack methods were very numerous and bizarre; gathering together like this would definitely not be beneficial, so dispersing their attacks was the best choice!
"…"
"That weapon has absolute destructive power and poses a great threat to Pesanta the Houndsman.
Just one hit to the head will result in death.
It seems we cannot let it continue."
And on the distant railing platform,
Raymond, the dwarf, looked down at the situation below.
His cloudy eyes narrowed, and he immediately saw the most critical situation.
Although his most loyal servant, Pesanta the Houndsman, was powerful, it seemed to be unable to block the strange firearm in Javier's hand.
At least, if it was aimed at the head and not specifically defended against,
Then Pesanta would have no chance of survival at all!
Thinking of this,
A fierce glint flashed in Raymond's eyes.
It seemed these humans still had weapons that could threaten their lives.
If that was the case, then they should all be destroyed.
"Buzz…!"
Thinking of this,
Raymond's eyes immediately closed tightly.
His withered hand slowly stroked the vine plants on the edge of the railing.
As the two touched, the dark green vine plants immediately began to tremble.
Accompanied by buzzing sounds, something very strange suddenly happened!
"Boom—!!!"
A loud bang,
The green vines that were originally firmly embedded in the surrounding walls suddenly came alive, as if they had gained some kind of life in an instant.
They began to break free from the wall's restraints,
And rapidly grew towards Javier and the others' direction, with individual vine plants shooting out like flexible tentacles!
And this was Raymond's ability.
As the owner of a Dominant Plaga, he could also control the Plaga parasite plant mother in the castle palace's underground.
It was a giant plant resembling a carnivorous flower,
Hidden beneath the castle palace, the cave that the Salazar family, generation after generation of Demon Sealing Counts, had sealed.
However, due to Raymond's brainwashing, this cave had long since been excavated, and Raymond had even used a Dominant Plaga inside to cultivate a vine monster to help hatch more Plaga parasite fossils.
And now, the plant vines embedded in the walls of the castle palace were actually just the tentacles of this plant mother…
And this kind of plant mother,
Was similar to Plant 42 that Javier had encountered before and the V-Complex in the Amazon Rainforest infected with T-Veronica.
These were also grotesque creatures born from plants fused with the Plaga parasite.
Of course,
The strongest aspect of this plant mother was that it had no life.
Its vine tentacles could grow and attack without restraint.
This way, Raymond wouldn't need to directly face the terrifying firearm in Javier's hand and could directly attack with it.
After all, vine tentacles were not afraid of physical attacks; their vitality was extremely tenacious!
"…"
"Kill them…!"
Without any hesitation,
Raymond gently clenched his hand, immediately controlling several vine tentacles to sweep over.
Javier and Leon and the others were stunned when they saw the suddenly moving vine tentacles around them, completely unaware that these vines attached to the walls would also come alive.
