In the river flowing toward the ocean, two human corpses were moving with the Current, their destination being the eastern ocean.
However, in a place no one noticed, one of the human corpses underwent a strange change.
Liva and Brand had already been pierced through the heart by Hysilens long ago, with no possibility of resurrection.
But at this moment, the sound of a heartbeat came from the turbulent river water, and as time passed, it became increasingly obvious!
Liva's corpse did not have any abnormalities, but Brand on the other side was completely different...
Although the Oni Possession on his body was shattered by a sword and completely lost the possibility of recovery, the flesh and blood beneath those armor fragments were slowly squirming, as if self-healing.
I don't know how much time passed, but Brand, wearing Oni Possession, suddenly opened his eyes, but what was revealed in his eyes was not the radiance of rationality, but tyrannical desire!
Subsequently, Oni Possession completely changed.
Originally, it was just a silver armor, looking no different from some of the Empire's soldiers, just unable to see the appearance of the person inside.
But the armor now opened a large gash on that mask-covered face...
And it wasn't an ordinary gash, but a bloody maw, filled with sharp teeth capable of piercing rock!
Gurgle gurgle—!
The awakened beast seemed to want to roar, announcing its resurrection to all living beings in the world, but since it was in the river, it didn't make any sound, instead gulping down a large mouthful of water.
As everyone knows, ordinary terrestrial creatures cannot survive in water because they have no means to breathe in water and can only drown in the end...
But this beast, while constantly drinking water, suddenly developed several slits under its neck... Those were things similar to fish gills!
It was at this very moment that the beast stopped struggling. When he took his hands off his forehead, his face had already become terrifying, completely devoid of Brand's original appearance, turning into a monster through and through!
The name of this monster is Tyrande!
The legendary Super Danger Beast, possessing terrifying power... Even the one used by the First Emperor to make the Teigu Oni Possession back then was only a cub.
Therefore, no one knows what terrifying power an adult Tyrande possesses.
According to the records in the original work, this creature possesses extremely strong DEF, can become transparent for a short time, and even adapt to the surrounding environment to evolve!
The previous abilities can be ignored, because some Danger Beasts can also possess these powers, and it's even possible they are stronger than Tyrande.
But that last ability cannot be ignored under any circumstances!
Adaptive Evolution.
A Super Danger Beast like Tyrande can survive in any environment, because it can adapt to any environment and adjust its state according to different environments.
From the changes just now, it can be seen that this Tyrande, which had just awakened, only drowned in the water for a short time before growing gills capable of breathing underwater; in other words, it had already adapted to the underwater environment.
If it were not in the water, but in magma, Tyrande would also be able to evolve into a different form.
In the original work, when Tatsumi fought the supreme imperial arms, he unleashed "Oni Possession," which was the true power of Tyrande, and continued to evolve during the battle, eventually defeating the supreme imperial arms.
However, as the price for using this power, Tatsumi also awakened the soul of the Super Danger Beast within "Oni Possession," starting a new round of battle for control of his body.
If it weren't for Akame killing Tyrande's soul, Tatsumi might even have been devoured by the beast.
In a sense, Tyrande is a Super Danger Beast that can evolve infinitely; no one knows where its upper limit lies.
And now, this Super Danger Beast has awakened from inside Brand's body, and finally, someone can witness this legendary creature with their own eyes...
Tyrande's four eyes darted around in the water, finally fixing on the human corpse beside it.
Then, it swam over without hesitation, picked up Liva, opened its large mouth, and devoured him bit by bit.
The color of blood spread through the lake, scaring the surrounding fish into fleeing into the distance. It wasn't that they smelled the scent of blood, but rather that they sensed a fatal threat.
Boom—!
When passing by a waterfall, a massive body suddenly fell from the cliff, but it did not land in the pool of water, instead kicking up dust on the ground.
When the smoke completely cleared, this terrifying Tyrande finally appeared under the moonlight.
Compared to Brand's former human body, this Tyrande, having just eaten, had already grown more than five times larger than before!
Even an Earth Dragon was only comparable to its body size, not to mention that Tyrande was still continuing to grow...
Roar—!
After reaching land, Tyrande was finally able to declare its arrival to the moon. It kept observing the surrounding environment and looking at its reflection in the lake, its eyes still darting around.
It was thinking!
Tyrande had indeed lost its original body and was made into the imperial arms "Oni Possession," but that did not mean it could do nothing.
This kind of creature capable of adapting and evolving could continue to evolve even if only its soul remained!
The person who died while wearing "Oni Possession" was named Brand, so now, this terrifying monster had learned how to think in a human way, and even went a step further...
But even so, the ferocity and cruelty in its eyes had not disappeared; instead, they had become even more intense than before.
Hiss—!
Seemingly sensing something, Tyrande suddenly looked towards the north, its eyes revealing a hint of wariness.
The creature's instinct kept warning Tyrande that there was something terrifying in the north, and it must not provoke it...
So, to ensure its survival and avoid being made into an imperial arms like before, Tyrande chose to head in the opposite direction.
The opposite of north is south, and to the south of the Northern Territory Empire was the location of the Empire!
Roar—!
A sense of hunger suddenly rushed into Tyrande's brain. This monster had not eaten for nearly a thousand years, and a human corpse was clearly unable to satisfy its needs.
For the sake of eating, for survival, and for evolution.
Tyrande rushed quickly into the deep night forest, its speed not at all inferior to those Danger Beasts known for their speed.
And the human side was also completely unaware of the approaching danger...
