Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 166 Things to Protect

"It's your turn next, kid."

Huang Quan shrugged. "To be honest, I'm not very interested in you. But since you're here, it means you're also a potential monster master. Come on, call out your monster."

"This... uh..."

Long Kui hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

"I am the master's monster."

Huaying stepped forward and said, "No matter who you are, if you dare to hurt the master, I will not agree!"

Huang Quan glanced at Huaying coldly, as if questioning the truthfulness of her words.

"If that's the case, it's easy to deal with."

Huang Quan smiled evilly and commanded the Prajna Ghost King to devour Huaying's shadow.

"not good!"

Long Kui was horrified because he had witnessed the magical power of the Prajna Ghost King in Storybrooke before, and knew that once he was targeted by it, he would lose control of his body.

"Huaying, get out of the way!"

However, it was too late.

Huaying stared at her hands in a daze. Now she was completely controlled by the Prajna Ghost King and became Huangquan's plaything.

"It really is a monster, and it looks like there's still a lot of room for development."

Huang Quan began to think about what he should ask Huaying to do.

"Huang Quan, what on earth do you want to do?"

Long Kui asked bravely, after all, he was the only one who could save his monster at this moment.

"Why do you do such an evil thing?"

"why?"

Huang Quan said, "It's because I am a member of Ouroboros! I follow the path of Her Majesty the Queen. Of course, a child like you has no way of understanding Her Majesty the Queen's lofty ideals."

"I don't want to know about that kind of thing. What I want to say is, return Huaying to me!"

Long Kui watched Huang Quan crush the Baozui worm with his bare hands, which was easier than crushing a bug. But he couldn't help but ask. When the monster is imprisoned, the owner can't escape unscathed either.

Huang Quan looked at Long Kui like this and suddenly thought of something evil.

He threw a dull knife on the ground and said:

"Want to save your monster? Of course. I'll give you this condition. See that knife? If you can withstand one stab from your monster, I'll let the Prajna Ghost King release his control over your monster. How do you do it?"

"Master, don't agree to him!"

Huaying shouted at the top of her lungs, "He's a bastard who takes pleasure in other people's suffering! We must not let him get what he wants!"

"I am willing to sacrifice."

Long Kui said calmly, "Hua Ying, without you, how could our withering disease be cured? Therefore, I am willing to sacrifice for you."

As she spoke, Huaying picked up the blunt knife on the ground and walked towards Longkui step by step.

"don't want……"

Huaying's body trembled violently, as if trying to resist the Prajna Ghost King. But it was no use. Huaying was only a D-rank at the moment. Even if she tried her best, she could only stay awake for a short while.

Seeing that Huaying couldn't bear to attack her, Long Kui took the initiative to rush towards the tip of the knife.

"Heh, what a courageous clone."

Huang Quan thought of Linde's behavior and hesitated. For a moment, Long Kui's behavior reminded Huang Quan of an old friend—but Huang Quan could no longer remember his name.

Long Kui looked at the green liquid flowing out of her chest and confirmed one thing once again -

I am Long Kui, not Yutoshi.

……

Really, why didn't I realize this sooner? In Storybrooke, everyone is well-kept, there's no chance of bloodshed.

Even if there is bleeding, as long as you say the blood is green, no one will doubt it.

After all, their world is so big.

But what was that pain?

This feeling of pain is something I have never experienced before, but isn’t it also proof of being alive?

His true self - the real Utoshin had long since died of illness in a dark dungeon.

Maybe Utoshima is the owner of Hanayaki, and I am just a substitute?

……

"Owner!"

Huaying's crying voice frightened Longkui a little.

"Why... do this?"

“Because we are family.”

Long Kui answered without hesitation.

Family, this word was once quite unfamiliar to Long Kui.

She has no parents, and even if she has many playmates, they are not her family. Perhaps Long Kui is very lonely, especially after escaping from the small world of Storybrooke.

Now, Long Kui can proudly say that he has a family.

Prick your finger, what kind of expectation does the monster that comes from afar have in mind when meeting you?

Huaying broke free from the Prajna Ghost King's restraints, or rather, the Prajna Ghost King took the initiative to release her restraints.

Huaying quickly treated Longkui's injuries, but she found that Longkui seemed to be fine?

"Idiot! How can human blood be green?"

Huang Quan scoffed, "I tampered with the knife a little bit to test that guy's determination. The result really surprised me."

"asshole!"

Huaying snarled, "Even so, you can't hurt my master!"

"Jacaranda."

Long Kui stretched out her hand, trying to stop the violent Huaying, but unexpectedly collided with Huaying's hand.

The moment the two hands touched, Long Kui suddenly felt a very wonderful feeling flowing through her body.

It was at this time that the situation changed and the field was gradually shrouded in purple miasma.

Huang Quan was very familiar with this feeling. When Yi Yin and the Green-haired Turtle made their first jump upgrade, it was also a similar situation. Could it be that...

"Roar!"

Huaying roared angrily and instantly transformed into a terrifying pigeon beast! In her pigeon beast form, Huaying's combat power was incomparable to before.

She was promoted from D-level to A-level. At A-level, Huaying could not only switch between human and animal forms at will, but also mastered more techniques related to poison.

Healing and ruthlessness, charm and killing, these contradictory elements can be completely piled up in Huaying, which is both contradictory and unified.

Now Huaying's body has stretched several feet longer, and she looks like a fully grown Five Poison Beast. She has a pair of wings on her back, and the whistling wind is enough to blow people away.

"Huaying... has been upgraded?" Long Kui looked very surprised.

Helala had told them that her own monster, the Mist Demon, had, by chance, risen from a D-rank to an A-rank Mist Demon (a dominant species). However, Long Kui had never imagined that the same thing would happen to her so soon.

However, the newly upgraded Huaying seemed extremely violent and could not suppress her anger at all.

"Seal of annihilation!"

Huaying roared, and countless thorns stretched out from the surrounding miasma, as if trying to pull the Prajna Ghost King into the endless darkness.

Now, the miasma blocked the sun. Because the miasma blocked the scorching sun, the shadows naturally disappeared. Even the Prajna Ghost King could not use the shadows to escape.

"No need to thank me! Since your monster has also been upgraded, I won't accompany you anymore."

As for going crazy, Huang Quan could certainly go crazy for a while, but there was no need to do so at this moment. He still had to preserve his madness and have a good fight with Yi Yin.

But Huaying couldn't control her overflowing strength, and the flying thorns in the sky whipped her indiscriminately, making the surroundings a mess.

"Wake up, Hanako!"

Long Kui called out loudly, but it seemed to be of no avail.

"Uh……"

Huang Quan suddenly felt a headache for no apparent reason. "Wilshire Base... What on earth did I forget? Uh..."

Huang Quan shook his head, and the memories that he had sealed away surged up again, but he didn't want to pay attention to them.

"Let's go, Prajna Ghost King!"

The Prajna Ghost King turned into a cloud of mist and ran into half of Huangquan's eye socket, then disappeared like a ghost.

Huang Quan left, but Huaying's destruction has not stopped.

Long Kui gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and jumped directly onto Huaying.

"As your master, I, Long Kui, order you to stop immediately!"

After signing the mental contract, the monster cannot go against the owner's wishes.

Perhaps Huaying had used up all her excess energy, or perhaps for some other reason, Huaying changed back from animal form to human form, and then fell exhausted into Longkui's arms.

Long Kui looked at Huaying who was sleeping soundly in her arms and vowed to protect her well in the future.
