Chapter 005: Ominous Early Years, Red Hair All Over
An indescribable and subtle sense of satisfaction welled up in Colin's heart.
The hunger in my stomach was temporarily relieved...
The power surges within the body.
Although the symptoms of "beast transformation" were getting worse, surprisingly, the violent temper in his heart had temporarily stopped.
It's not because of some kind of suppression, but it gradually calms down due to satisfaction.
Colin took a deep breath and tried to keep his mind as calm as possible to avoid being stimulated by this thing.
"Mom...I'm hungry..."
"I'm going to find something to eat. You wait here. Mom will be back soon..."
"Well, can I come with you? It's dark here and I'm afraid..."
"no……"
Colin was startled at first when he heard intermittent voices in his mind, and then he realized that this might be the remnant of the mother's obsession.
After she comforted the hungry child, she went out alone to pray for food...
From this point onwards, my memory became obviously disordered.
"Mom found a small piece of bread...I will bring it back to you right away..."
"I'm sorry, Mommy is back late. I've been hungry... It's been a long time... Here's your favorite little bread... Come... Come and eat it..."
"Don't be afraid...eat quickly...eat until you are full...grow up quickly..."
"Then you won't be afraid of the dark... Mom is here... Always here... Don't cry... Don't cry..."
From her inner perspective, Kelin understood what she saw of herself - a hungry and frightened child hiding in a dark corner, and also understood what her repeated, short, hoarse voice meant...
“Don’t cry…don’t cry…don’t cry…”
“Don’t cry…don’t cry…”
A strong yet gentle voice pierced through the madness and chaos, and rang out in Colin's mind. Colin listened silently, as if he had been comforted. He squatted quietly on the ground and drew blood through his fingertips.
He couldn't tell what kind of emotion he was feeling right now, but it probably wasn't the same impatience as before...
After nearly three hours, all the blood was drained .
"If there's a chance, I'll help you take care of the child."
After saying this, he stood up, but his appearance had changed drastically from before.
The dim light of the torches revealed this new look.
I saw that the originally thin body was filled with bulging muscles and became extremely tall. His hands turned into huge animal claws, and his pale skin was covered with blood-red hair. His dark vertical eyes were glowing with a bloodthirsty luster. His head had been completely transformed into a beast. He stood in the cell like an upright bloody werewolf.
A strong ominous aura emanated from his entire body.
"...Since I can't beat the warden as an ordinary person, then I will...stop being a human being."
Colin licked his fangs with his scarlet tongue, carefully put away the hardened bread, and then grabbed the iron bars with both hands.
Crunch...
The iron bars that were unshakable just now were easily opened into a passage in less than three seconds.
When Colin walked out of the prison, more than a dozen eyes reflecting green light looked at him from different cells throughout the dungeon.
"It's just like slices of bread with sweet butter..."
Colin felt a strong desire to eat in his stomach.
After further transformation, Colin also gained a deeper instinctive understanding of "lycanthropy" and knew that these imprisoned guys were no longer human.
If he could "eat" them all, then his strength would definitely be improved.
But unfortunately, it can’t be eaten.
His rationality, which still dominated, told him that the consequence of doing so would most likely be a loss of control.
The current strength is enough.
Rather than absorbing more power, he needs enough rationality.
Only power that is firmly controlled by reason can be called power.
"Although I am still awake at the moment, this state of awakening will not last long and I cannot maintain it..."
Colin shook off his red hair, suppressed his desire to eat, glanced at the tightly closed iron door of the dungeon, and habitually took a deep breath while thinking, causing a "whoosh" sound in the air.
"It shouldn't be difficult to defeat the warden, but time is running out. My sanity can only last for one day at most..."
"So, I have to find that colleague quickly and contact Bonfire Company, otherwise he will go crazy in no time..."
"Well, before we act, let's use the last fragment to see what happens."
Colin's thoughts raced as he made a decision.
But before he could use the fate paper, an accident occurred again and someone walked outside the iron door of the dungeon.
These people lowered their steps, as if they had discovered something, and moved closer to this side with great caution.
"Do you feel something is wrong? The dungeon seems to be too quiet. There has been almost no movement for several hours..."
"Could it be that...everyone is asleep?"
"It's impossible to rest for so long at the same time. This situation has never happened before. There is a rare individual here that the warden is paying special attention to..."
"Go check..."
The dungeon guards obviously lowered their voices when they talked, but Colin still heard it clearly. Not only that, he could even tell by the smell...
There were five people in total.
Damn it, two of them seem to have glue on them. Why do I have to smell this smell? Colin blew his nose, not complaining about the injustice that his nose should not have to endure.
"It will be close in ten seconds at most. There will be no time to use the 'Book of Numerology'. I was worried that I would be discovered if I made too much noise, but I ignored it. Judging from the performance of 'Beast Transformation', even a small noise will be a problem."
As Colin's thoughts turned, his body retreated into the darkness of the dungeon, and his dark vertical pupils pierced through the darkness and reflected the locked iron door of the dungeon.
Outside the door, the dense and gentle footsteps are getting closer and closer...
As they approached, the other beastmen in the dungeon seemed to realize something and immediately started to ram into their cages, howling in incomprehensible ways.
Several dungeon guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Any movement means...
The situation should still be correct.
Snap...
As a result, one of them was a little careless and directly opened the bolt without checking the door hole first, preparing to go in to see the specific condition.
However, at the moment the bolt was pulled open, the iron door was suddenly pushed open. The dungeon guard behind the door had almost no time to react before he was knocked away by a huge force and fell to the ground unconscious.
The other four were stunned, then looked terrified as they saw an ominous red-haired giant beast rushing out of the door.
The huge beast looked down at them from above, which was intimidating.
"careful--"
Someone reacted and wanted to fight back, but before he could raise his hand, the terrifying beast swung its hand and knocked him against the wall.
Of the five people present, two fell to the ground and fainted in less than two seconds.
The other three took advantage of this gap and swung their axes to chop at him, but they couldn't even cut through the long bloody hair, let alone break the skin.
