"It's a seven-meter-tall Beastman, but its fur is bronze."
Looking at Adil, Mokra said gloomily, "This Beastman is very powerful. According to Kocsis, he was patrolling outside the city with a few knights and over a hundred elite warriors. In the end, they were all killed, and only Kocsis managed to escape with heavy injuries."
"According to Kocsis, this Bronze Beastman is not only powerful, but also seems to have entered a berserk state. It doesn't matter if it's an Orc or a human, as long as it touches them, it will tear them apart."
"Bronze Beastman."
Hearing Mokra's words, Adil was stunned. After a moment of silence, he asked, "So what is your purpose for coming here?"
"Gather our strength and kill this Bronze Beastman!" Mokra said resolutely as he looked at Adil.
"This Beastman is just outside the city. It just blocked an important trade route between Ancient Armor City and other cities. It keeps pacing back and forth there, killing anyone it sees!"
"In just a few days, several caravans have been killed by this monster. If this goes on, who would dare to come to our Ancient Armor City?"
He looked at Adil and explained. When he mentioned the caravans, his expression became even more gloomy.
Ancient Armor City was located in a remote area, at the edge of the Komodo Kingdom. There was only barren land and restless Beastmen around it. It couldn't even produce its own food and weapons. The entire city relied on Beastman slaves, furs, and other local products to support itself.
Once foreign caravans no longer dared to come to the city to do business, Ancient Armor City would suffer greatly in a short period of time. This showed how serious the situation was.
Hearing this, Adil frowned inwardly.
To be able to kill its way to Kocsis under the protection of several knights and over a hundred elite warriors, and injure him, this Bronze Beastman was undoubtedly very powerful.
Although it couldn't compare to an official Magus, it was very likely that it had reached the level of a level 3 acolyte. Even among level 3 acolytes, only the most powerful acolytes had this kind of strength.
"Adil …"
After pausing for a moment, Mokra organized his thoughts and said, "I know that you've been researching the bloodline of the Orcs. For that, you've been purchasing a large number of Orc captives from us every month."
"This Bronze Beastman is very powerful. It's an extremely rare variant, and its bloodline is even more powerful than a Bloodthirsty Beastman's. It definitely has good research value."
He looked at Adil and said, "As long as you are willing to make a move, I can give you this Bronze Beastman's corpse after everything is over."
The corpse of a powerful creature that was comparable to a level 3 Acolyte would be worth at least 200 magic crystals in the black market. For a level 2 Acolyte, it was indeed a good harvest.
Although Adil didn't care about these magic stones, he was very interested in that Bronze Beastman's bloodline.
Moreover, he was also burdened with the mission of investigating the Mutant Beastmen. Now that the other party had finally appeared, he naturally had to go and take a look.
Thus, he pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.
A happy expression appeared on Mokra's face. After chatting with Adil for a bit, he hurriedly left, apparently wanting to persuade the other apprentices to join.
Seeing Mokra's hurried silhouette, Adil shook his head, stood up, and walked towards the depths of the manor's laboratory.
From Mokra's description, that Bronze Beastman was clearly not easy to deal with. Although Adil wasn't afraid, he still had to prepare a few methods to be on the safe side.
A few days later, the few apprentices once again gathered in the city's mansion.
What surprised Adil was that he didn't know what Mokra had promised, but apart from the taciturn Sid, all the other apprentices of the Ancient Armor City had gathered.
After a while, Adil met Kossis in the city lord's mansion.
Kossis's appearance was very miserable, and his body was wrapped in white cloth. His face was very pale, and he barely said a few words to Adil and the others. After reminding them of some things, he immediately went back to recuperate. He seemed to be heavily injured.
During this process, Adil had the A.I. Chip analyse him. In the end, he discovered that not only was Kossis heavily injured, but there were also signs of a life seed exploding. This made Adil's heart tremble.
After explaining a few things, they quickly set off. Besides the apprentices, there were also a few Knights, led by Mokra and a Grand Knight.
They arrived at the wilderness outside the city, and after a while, they arrived at a village.
There, Adil saw some traces of the Bronze Beastman.
This place seemed to have just undergone a demolition. None of the surrounding buildings were intact, and all of them had been severely damaged.
Beneath the ruins, pale corpses were scattered everywhere. They seemed to be the original residents of this village.
After entering the village, Adil looked around.
Dried red bloodstains were scattered all over the place. Walking ahead, Adil saw a corpse with half of its body bitten off, and a few strands of bronze hair.
[Unknown aura detected … Similarity to Bloodthirsty Beastman 79.4%, Assega Beastman 76.7% …] The A.I. Chip's mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
"It really is a unique variant …"
Looking at the few strands of bronze hair in his hand and the A.I. Chip's prompt, Adil's expression didn't change. He only looked to the side in Silence.
In the direction he was looking at, the surrounding buildings and trees looked as if they had been hit by a colossus. The remaining building materials and fallen trees were spread all over the ground, forming a unique long road.
"This is the last place that Bronze Beastman appeared. If I'm not wrong, it should have left through this road."
In the rear, Mokra rode his horse and slowly arrived at Adil's side. He looked at the road in the distance, his expression somewhat solemn.
"Let's wait a bit. As long as the other side is still in the surroundings, it will eventually reveal some traces."
Adil said in Silence as he looked into the distance.
On the side, Mokra didn't say anything and only silently nodded.
Half a month passed in a flash.
During this time, that Bronze Beastman didn't attack anyone again.
If he hadn't been able to find traces of it in the surroundings from time to time, Adil would have thought that it had already left the area.
Only one early morning did it reappear in a village next to a creek.
When Adil and the others received the news and rushed to the village, the Bronze Beastman had already killed everyone in the village. It was now sitting in Silence on top of the ruins, continuously chewing.
With his good eyesight, Adil could clearly see that the other side was still holding a small half of a corpse, but it had already been gnawed beyond recognition.
"This …"
Looking at this scene, several people's faces instantly turned ashen. Apart from anger, there was also a faint trace of fear on their faces.
The other side's body was too huge.
Although the Bloodthirsty Beastman's body was huge, it was only three meters tall, which was equivalent to twice the height of an ordinary person. And the Bronze Beastman before them was already seven meters tall. It was definitely a colossus for ordinary people.
With such a huge body, even if it didn't have any powerful special abilities, it could still seriously injure a Knight with a single stomp.
When he saw that Beastman, Adil's expression also became extremely serious.
[After comparing the database with over three hundred written and image records, the Bronze Behemoth is close to 96.1% …]
The mechanical voice of the chip echoed in his mind.
"Bronze Behemoth …" Standing there, Adil's expression was somewhat solemn.
In the past six months, because he was researching the Beastman bloodline, he had specially gathered a lot of information regarding the Beastmen, including some records regarding the Bronze Behemoth.
The Bronze Behemoth was an extremely rare bloodline creature. It often appeared as a companion creature of the Beastmen, and it could only be born when extremely harsh conditions were met.
This kind of creature was usually short-lived, and there was a very small chance that it would be born in places where a large number of Beastmen gathered. It rarely appeared in the eyes of others.
According to the records, the Bronze Behemoth was extremely powerful. Its adult body could reach a height of more than ten meters, and once it erupted, it could even contend against an official Magus for a short period of time. It was an extremely terrifying bloodline creature.
However, what made Adil secretly heave a sigh of relief was that this Bronze Behemoth had obviously not reached maturity. Although its body was very tall, it was obvious that it was still a distance away from adulthood and had not reached its peak.
[Bronze Behemoth. Strength: 14.8. Agility: 10.7. Vitality: 15.7.] In front of him, the other party's body data was quickly analyzed by the A.I. Chip and accurately appeared.
"What a terrifying physique. Even if it is not an adult, its physical strength has already surpassed mine."
Looking at the data that appeared in front of him, Adil muttered to himself.
His body's data had long surpassed the limits of a Grand Knight. According to his estimations, even if a regular acolyte reached the level of an official Magus, other than magic power and spiritual force, in terms of physical strength, they would only be at his level.
Standing around Adil and looking at the distant Bronze Behemoth, everyone's expression became incomparably solemn.
Although they did not recognize what kind of creature it was, it did not hinder them from understanding how terrifying this creature was. Just its huge body was enough to make people suffer.
However, at this time, they could not hesitate anymore. This was because in front of them, the tall Bronze Behemoth had already stood up and was looking in the direction of Adil and the others.
