Amidst the ruins.
Countless gray and white masked Infected formed a circle.
And in the middle.
The King of the Monstrous Beasts had fully awakened, completely taking over the student's body.
Under the illumination of the gigantic lunar eye.
Its true form was revealed before all the Knights.
Its body was massive, with a cluster of curved and sharp horns atop its head. Its claws resembled metal, shimmering with a deadly chill, looking like a demon from hell!
"It's... it's it..."
Upon seeing the King of the Monstrous Beasts reveal its true form, Zhang Hu's pupils contracted, instinctively taking a step back.
As if he had seen some terrifying existence!
Chu Guang, standing beside him, heard his muttering, initially feeling puzzled.
But immediately, he realized something, and his expression changed as well.
He was aware of Zhang Hu's experience.
He had accidentally fallen into the Secret Realm, just in time for the King of the Monstrous Beasts to unleash a global catastrophe. He almost got assimilated into an Infected, but luckily he was saved by a golden Knight.
And now, based on Zhang Hu's reaction.
Chu Guang had reason to suspect.
This newly awakened King of the Monstrous Beasts, could very likely be the one that Zhang Hu had encountered in the Secret Realm!
"The King of the Monstrous Beasts that unleashed a global catastrophe..."
Realizing this.
Chu Guang couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.
"Zhang Hu, calm down!"
But he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, while reassuring Zhang Hu: "Remember, even the King of the Monstrous Beasts, after awakening, needs time to recover its strength."
"Right now..."
"It's just a high-level Monstrous Beast!"
"Boom!!!"
Then.
As if to prove his words, or perhaps to encourage Zhang Hu.
Chu Guang stomped his feet hard, causing the ground to sink into a small pit. He was the first to attack!
"Roar!"
Looking at the black Knight charging like a cannonball, the King of the Monstrous Beasts bared its teeth, without hesitation, punched back...
"Boom!!"
Amidst the booming sound of impact.
Chu Guang flew back several meters, but the King of the Monstrous Beasts also retreated half a step...
This punch seemed to be the fuse, instantly igniting the other Knights to engage in combat.
Several Knights rushed forward, switching their weapons to ranged mode, assisting Chu Guang.
As for why they didn't charge forward directly...
There was no way, among the Knights present, only Chu Guang was qualified to fight head-on against a high-level Monstrous Beast or above. As for the others... they would be instantly killed if they showed their heads!
The other few weaker Knights targeted the surrounding Infected, each using their abilities to block them, trying their best to keep them from interrupting the fight between Chu Guang and the King of the Monstrous Beasts.
"Sigh..."
Seeing this.
Zhang Hu bit his lip hard, the pain spreading, forcibly forcing himself to regain his composure.
Then he joined the fight against the surrounding Infected.
...
"Sizzle!!"
Chu Guang's shoulder felt a sharp pain, the King of the Monstrous Beasts' claws dug deep into his flesh.
But he didn't make a sound.
Instead, he forcefully hugged the King of the Monstrous Beasts' arm, preventing it from pulling away.
At the same time, his other hand raised high.
Sharp barbs shot out from his forearm, drawing a sharp arc in the air, cutting a huge wound on the King of the Monstrous Beasts' side, causing it to let out a roar of rage!
Chu Guang didn't have any experience dealing with the King of the Monstrous Beasts.
But he had encountered, and even defeated, quite a few high-level Monstrous Beasts.
Chu Guang knew clearly.
All high-level Monstrous Beasts are weakest when they first awaken.
As time passes, their sanity and strength will continue to regain clarity and grow stronger!
And after brief observation.
Chu Guang also noticed that this King of the Monstrous Beasts' mind wasn't fully clear, still a bit blurry!
Therefore.
Because of this.
He was able to injure it.
Next, he had to defeat it as quickly as possible!
For this.
Chu Guang was willing to go as far as sacrificing his own life!
Faced with Chu Guang's reckless offensive and the assistance of the surrounding Knights.
The King of the Monstrous Beasts showed signs of weakness, retreating step by step!
"Die... Die!!!"
Chu Guang leaped up, striking a Knight Kick pose, kicking towards the King of the Monstrous Beasts.
"Whoosh... Boom!!"
But suddenly.
A phantom appeared out of thin air, countless whip shadows striking out almost simultaneously!
Caught off guard.
Chu Guang, unable to gain leverage in mid-air, was knocked flying!
Following that.
The mysterious figure launched countless blue-purple energy blasts, forcing the other Knights to retreat!
"Cough, cough!"
The moment Chu Guang landed, he jumped up again.
He looked down at the countless whip wounds on his chest, then ignored them, instead looking up at the attacker.
When they saw the attacker's true appearance, all the Knights were stunned!
A妖异 blue-purple skin, with countless strands of hair atop its head, resembling writhing serpents!
Almost instinctively.
The Knights recalled a Monstrous Beast.
And the alarm sounded by Ze A on their watches confirmed their thoughts!
"Detecting A-level Monstrous Beast fluctuation! Matching fluctuation frequency... Match successful!"
"Please note!"
"This target is already in the database!"
"Code: 336, Danger level: A-level・High-level Monstrous Beast, Race: Legendary Beast..."
"Confirming identity: Medusa Legendary Beast!!"
"It's really Medusa Legendary Beast?!"
All the Knights paused, astonished.
The name Medusa Legendary Beast, it could be said that all the Knights present knew of it!
This Monstrous Beast's strength, among all the high-level Monstrous Beasts, wasn't considered the strongest.
It wasn't even considered average.
But it was definitely one of the most cunning Monstrous Beasts!
As soon as it awakened, it used its special abilities to avoid Knights' pursuit and patrols.
After that.
It even dared to, together with other high-level Monstrous Beasts, pretend to surround and attack a Knight Bureau, but secretly infiltrated it, stealing a powerful transformation device hidden in the deepest part of the Knight Bureau!
Even now.
Medusa Legendary Beast was still at the top of the wanted list in the Knight Security Bureau!
Then.
Medusa Legendary Beast, relying on its special ability to sense danger in advance, diligently hid itself among the crowd, even occasionally venturing abroad, around the world, causing it to be difficult to capture even when Ze A detected its presence.
Based on Ze A's analysis of its appearance locations and behaviors.
He concluded... this Medusa Legendary Beast was likely searching for something!
And now.
Medusa Legendary Beast appeared here.
Answering the question that countless Knights had always been puzzled by...
Medusa Legendary Beast, all along, had been searching for its King!
"King..."
"You've finally awakened!!"
And at this moment.
Medusa Legendary Beast was kneeling on one knee, looking up at the King of the Monstrous Beasts with a狂热 face.
"You..."
For this subordinate that suddenly appeared.
The King of the Monstrous Beasts seemed a bit confused.
But only for a moment.
Its gaze gradually became clear, apparently remembering Medusa's existence.
"Medusa."
"Didn't expect... you're still here."
The King of the Monstrous Beasts called out its name, causing Medusa to become even more excited.
"King!"
"This is the gift I prepared for your awakening..." It said.
Medusa was about to take the gift from behind.
But at this moment...
"Boom!!!"
An inexplicable pressure suddenly descended!
It was as if a heavy mountain was placed on their backs, everyone present felt a tightness in their chests!
Then.
The watches of all the Knights flashed with a blinding red light.
