As the iron door got closer, just as Marian White was about to go all out, a cold, playful whisper gently entered her ear.
"Treating a lady like this is not what a gentleman should do."
"Damn it, where did this little squirt co from..."
Before the words were finished, warm, sticky liquid splattered onto Marian White’s face, causing her to open her eyes wide in terror.
The sweet, bloody sll filled her nose and mouth as Marian White fell to the ground, watching two headless corpses shoot out twin crimson fountains from their necks, like blood snakes flying into the distance.
Plop~
The dry corpses fell beside her, and Marian White stiffly turned her head to see a fair-skinned, handso white boy with an eerily attractive look leisurely strolling closer.
"Don’t be afraid, I... hmm?"
His cold fingertips gently brushed across Marian White’s face, and the playful, cruel smile on the handso white boy’s face suddenly froze.
"Is this... a divine blessing?"
Frowning in confusion, a spiral of blood whirled in the boy’s eyes as he looked directly into Marian White’s eyes.
"Who gave you this blessing?"
Her tense, stiff gaze instantly lost focus, and Marian White’s head drooped slightly as she murmured blankly.
"No... no one... blessing..."
"Then have you t anyone special recently? Or sothing?"
"Special... Zhu... Zhu Haomiao..."
"Zhu Haomiao?!"
The boy’s scarlet pupils slightly constricted, and he stood up, gazing distantly at the sky.
"Ride, spear!"
"What’s wrong?"
"The [bow] has issues."
"What issues?"
"He possesses power that is not his..."
He said, glancing down at the dazed woman, frowning slightly.
"This power... its position is very high!"
......
Ring ring~~
The piercing bell rang, and in the heavily fortified building, a solemn and composed middle-aged white man tiredly picked up the phone.
"This is Wells, go ahead."
"Director! It’s started again!"
The weary pupils instantly flashed with radiant light, and Dieterich Wells stood up with a swish, gripping the phone tightly.
"Where?!"
"California!"
"Which city specifically?"
"Los Santos!"
Walking over to a large map of the United States, Dieterich Wells picked up a pen and harshly marked a cross over the city.
"Assemble all High Rank Mages and lock down Los Santos! This ti we must catch him!!"
"Yes!"
The entire building quickly buzzed with activity, and several High Rank Mages whose vacations were canceled boarded a special vehicle headed to the airport, complaining in dissatisfaction.
"What kind of mission is this? Can’t even let us rest properly on vacation?"
An assistant beside them handed over a thick stack of docunts, nervously answering.
"The Big Snake."
"The Big Snake?!!"
The High Rank Mages were montarily stunned, then sat up straight and carefully read the docunts in their hands.
Code Na: Big Snake
Entity: Unknown
Danger Level: SSS
First appeared in Chicago, devoured nearly ten thousand gang mbers in just a few days, leaving only traces of large reptilian scales and a small amount of blood and flesh, with almost no corpses.
Witnesses claid that a writhing black mist engulfed the entire building, and there were intense gunshots and screams inside. By the ti the police arrived, there was no one left inside.
The Strategic Headquarters speculated that because of a massive exodus of "food" from Chicago, the [Big Snake] then appeared in New York, where tens of thousands of gang mbers soon disappeared, including many low-rank mages.
As in Chicago, large numbers of gang mbers fled quickly, leaving a power vacuum in New York’s underworld, and the [Big Snake] soon appeared in the next city.
Miami...
Texas...
...
Reading the thick stack of docunts, the High Rank Mages felt increasingly uneasy, their brows furrowing.
"What kind of magic school uses flesh and corpses as raw materials?"
"Many, but none like the [Big Snake], consuming everything so thoroughly."
"There are no altars, no lingering negative energy auras. It’s as if the [Big Snake] isn’t collecting spell materials but foraging, truly treating these corpses as food!"
"Based on the size of the scale marks left, it is estimated the serpent’s body has a diater exceeding one ter, with absurdly strong defenses, as so Mid Rank Mages’ final attacks before death caused no harm."
"Isn’t it said there are no survivors? How do you know no harm was done?"
"Uh... gang mbers have no survivors, but so of their kidnapped hostages survived. They reportedly saw so anomalies, but due to extre fright, most of their accounts are inconsistent and excessively exaggerated, so this intelligence can only be used as a reference."
Hearing this, the High Rank Mages exchanged glances, hesitantly speaking.
"So, the [Big Snake] does not indiscriminately consu, it only eats gang mbers?"
"Yes."
"Strange... why? What’s the difference between gang mbers and others?"
"Perhaps he’s afraid that indiscriminate devouring would provoke our retaliation?"
"You say that as if he hasn’t already provoked retaliation."
"..."
After a brief silence, one mage tentatively spoke up.
"Could it be the work of an outsider?"
"Outsider... you an..."
A chilling thought struck them, and everyone there realized a terrifying possibility.
"Yes, a Heroic Spirit! And a Crown Heroic Spirit!"
"Hiss~"
Everyone couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air, quickly reacting.
"Wait, isn’t the Crown Heroic Spirit’s war supposed to be in Asia? Why is the [Big Snake] loitering in Arica?"
Hearing this, the leader gazed out the window, murmuring softly.
"With just the data on paper, he has already devoured hundreds of thousands of lives!"
"Perhaps, he’s genuinely hungry..."
......
Los Santos
In a luxurious and elegant hotel suite, a black-clad boy stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the vast city skyline, suddenly furrowing his brows.
"I think I heard soone whispering about ..."
He pouted, soon dismissing this sudden intuition as Zhu Haomiao lowered his head to look at his chest, eyes brimming with anticipation.
Just a little more, and it’ll be fully healed!
However, at that mont, a crystalline, transparent phantom lotus blood from the [Dragon Emblem], revealing the [Creation Jade Disk] in its center and the golden "Flower Bud" at its core.
Raising an eyebrow, Zhu Haomiao instantly absorbed it into his soul, golden light streaming like a waterfall in his pupils.
He put everything into the [greed coin], and soon new [Legendary Power] was engraved instinctually into the depths of his soul.
After a long ti, having digested all the experience, Zhu Haomiao gazed into the distance towards the Pacific Ocean.
Once I’ve grown up, I’ll slaughter all of you!
