Chapter 119: The Half-Demi-Human (1/2)

“Huff… Huff…”

The taste of blood continuously rose in his throat, and his lungs felt like they could explode from the intense breathing.

His numb legs kept moving mechanically as he ran, while the rustling sound of branches being pushed aside behind him seemed to tug at his heart.

Glancing at the long, ugly scar on his right arm, Hobart’s face was pale, and a trace of despair appeared in his eyes.

Why… Why did something like Solmara exist?

“Roar!” At that moment, a thunderous beast’s roar came from behind Hobart, the sound seeming to echo right next to his ears, causing the entire moonlit forest to erupt with startled birds.

“Whoosh!” A huge black shadow suddenly flew out from the bushes behind him, instantly enveloping Hobart. Seeing the shadow cast by the moonlight, Hobart, with a burst of newfound strength, quickly dodged to the side—

“Boom!”

Just as Hobart avoided it, the black shadow crashed down like a meteor where he had been, kicking up a large cloud of dust. Hobart felt the ground beneath him tremble.

“Roar!”

The giant black shadow let out another deafening roar, scattering the dust with its sound, revealing its true form.

—It was a humanoid beast.

Standing nearly four meters tall, its human skin was peeling off in places, revealing patches of ugly black-orange fur. The sharp claws at the ends of its hands glistened faintly in the moonlight. Although its face was closer to that of a feline, hints of its former human appearance could still be seen.

Only a few strands of black hair remained on its head, with the rest of the scalp replaced by black-orange fur. Its mouth seemed torn open, leaving a long, gruesome, blood-red gash. When its grotesque mouth slightly opened, sharp fangs could be glimpsed beneath the split lips.

“Half… Half-Demi-Human…” Hobart, who had once been involved in Demi-Human biological experiments, recognized the creature instantly, and tremblingly uttered the name.

Such a creature could only be born when someone with a Genetic Match Rate below 60% was forcibly injected with the Demi-Human Genetic Agent!

“Why… Why is there a Half-Demi-Human in Solmara? Solmara shouldn’t allow something like this to exist…” Hobart muttered, drenched in cold sweat, knowing all too well the terrifying nature of these beings, and began retreating.

At that moment, the Half-Demi-Human slowly turned its head toward Hobart, its face twisting into a sinister and terrifying grin: “What’s wrong? Don’t recognize me?”

The voice was hoarse and terrifying, nothing like something a human could produce. No… in fact, this creature had long since ceased to be human!

“I… I don’t know you! I have nothing to do with you, please, let me go!” Hobart’s voice cracked in desperation. He knew very well that once a creature like this had its sights set on him, with his strength, he was doomed to die in the wilderness.

“Is that so…” The Half-Demi-Human gave a faint smile, then slowly rose and turned, exposing its right side to Hobart. “Now… Do you recognize me?”

When Hobart saw the creature’s right side, he was suddenly stunned.

Its entire right side… was completely empty, with no right arm in sight!

A faint figure flashed through Hobart’s mind. It felt like he had been struck by lightning as he stared in shock at the Half-Demi-Human. “You… you’re that Specialized Agent!”

“Heh… Looks like your memory isn’t too bad…” Even after injecting the Tiger Demi-Human Genetic Agent, the right arm hadn’t regenerated. Qu Zhen, now close to Hobart, spoke, his foul breath reeking of blood and hitting Hobart’s face: “I’ve turned into this just to personally avenge my brother. Surprised? Shocked?”

Hearing this, Hobart’s face immediately turned ashen, then flushed with anger as he pointed at Qu Zhen and shouted, “You lunatic… You’ve thrown away your humanity just for revenge?! Haha… I’m as good as dead anyway. Solmara won’t let you live like this either! Do you really think it’s worth it? Madman!!”

“Are you done talking?” Qu Zhen didn’t care what Hobart said, only responding calmly, “The moment I injected the Tiger Demi-Human Genetic Agent, I never planned on surviving… Now that you’re done talking, I’ll send you on your way.”

With that, he raised his giant claw and swung it down at Hobart, the sharp tips growing larger and larger in Hobart’s eyes…

“Squelch—”
