Niu Kun was wearing heavy plate armor, which made his already strong physique look even more imposing and intimidating. However, Niu Kun's teasing tone dispelled some of the girls' apprehension.
However, Momoko, Hinako, and Yu were still quite afraid to speak, while Kagura, Chizuru, and Mikoto had already signed contracts and had been trained in Niu Kun's chaotic and lewd ways.
She still had some confidence. Although she wasn't as good as Huang Quan, who could joke and mock Niu Kun, she wasn't so afraid that she didn't dare to speak. Kagura carried Wujiang over.
"Master, please take a look. Why hasn't Wujiang woken up yet?"
Kagura is in the same grade as Kirie and Momoe. Although she is not as close and friendly as she is with Chizuru, Miku, and Yuno before, she is still familiar with her and cares about Kirie.
Chapter 177 Worship
"It's nothing. It's just that being possessed by an evil spirit has exhausted my mental and physical strength, and my body has entered a dormant state, or rather, I'm unconscious."
Niu Kun held Wu Jiang in his arms, then pretended to grope her all over, thoroughly measuring the development of the middle school girl, before shaking his head with some regret.
However, Niu Kun's shaking of his head made Tao Hui, who was standing next to him, worry. She suppressed her fear and cautiously asked, only to receive a surprising answer.
"Too barren! She's already fourteen, almost at the end of her puberty, how can she still be so barren? Will she have to rely on magic to improve her condition in the future?"
Niu Kun said with some heartache, clearly dissatisfied with Wu Jiang's physical development. After all, Wu Jiang is the granddaughter of Xi Zi's sister and looks quite similar to Xi Zi.
But Yuko, who retained her appearance and figure from her previous life, already possessed a tall and enviable figure at the age of fifteen. Could Kirie catch up in another year? Niu Kun felt it would be difficult, unless they used technology or magic.
However, although Niu Kun's words were directed at Wujiang, they also struck a chord with a group of girls around him, except for Youyu, who subtly raised her chest.
Tao Hui couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, her big, bright eyes widening even more, but no matter how unwilling she was, she still didn't dare to talk back to Niu Kun.
Meanwhile, Hinako, standing next to Yu, glanced sideways at her friend Yu, or rather, at Yu's large, round breasts, and silently shed tears.
If a few junior high school girls can grit their teeth and insist that they haven't finished developing, then a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, without external help, probably won't be able to get rid of the flat-chested girl label.
Besides the three of them, Kagura, Chizuru, and Miku couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief. While they weren't exactly flat-chested, they were clearly just average-sized and far from being large-breasted.
Even Yuno couldn't help but bite her lip, looking down at her unworthy breasts with some resentment. Natsuki also couldn't help but want to look up at the sky. Compared to these tender middle and high school girls, should she, who should have graduated from university, call herself an old aunt?
Moreover, she was an older woman whose figure wasn't particularly remarkable.
Sayu silently touched her breasts. By all accounts, her bust size wasn't small, but... she first glanced at Yu across from her, then at the silent Aki behind her, and immediately felt extremely frustrated.
Niu Kun hurt a group of girls around him with a single sentence, but he seemed unaware of it. Then he lifted Wu Jiang's shirt, revealing her slightly bulging, smooth belly.
"Although nothing serious happened, I was possessed by an evil spirit after all, so there was some damage. But it's also a good opportunity to see if I can awaken any strange abilities."
A magical glow emanated, and a beautiful yet eerie contract magic rune appeared on Wujiang's lower abdomen. The intense pain brought on by the enhanced magic startled Wujiang awake from her unconsciousness.
However, the excruciating pain came and went quickly, even making Wujiang think it was just his imagination, staring blankly at the hideous face staring at him in the night.
"Wow~"
Wujiang, who was almost scared to death again, hurriedly rolled off Niu Kun's lap with a speed she never expected, and easily rolled away from Niu Kun.
"This...I..."
[Contract complete. Host has acquired the 40th familiar!]
[The host's followers have experienced a significant boost in both spirit and physique, and have awakened the talent [Blood Worship]!]
[Blood Worship]: Blood, representing life, is so beautiful and precious; the flowing blood represents obsessive worship!
[The story character Geng Wujiang has been contracted by a host, causing a slight increase in the world's erosion level.]
"Hmm...this means..."
Niu Kun looked up at the still ongoing battle in the distance. Wu Jiang's awakened talent must have been influenced by that red-clothed female ghost, but this blood worship was obviously not that simple.
At the same time, just as Kirie was contracted and awakened her talent, the red-clad female ghost, who was being suppressed and attacked by Huang Quan and was already struggling to defend herself, was also being attacked.
But she seemed to see something that fascinated and delighted her, and disregarding the blade of the Yellow Springs, she excitedly rushed towards the seemingly empty void.
"Lord of Blood, your servants thirst for your mercy; Lord of Blood, your servants long to return to your kingdom; Lord of Blood..."
Huang Quan, who had slashed with his sword but missed, stared in astonishment at the increasingly blurry figure of the red-clad female ghost, who drifted away as if about to dissipate into a Buddha.
But in the next instant, the surging river of blood seemed to tear open from the unknown void and pour in, and the red-clad female ghost, who was the first to be hit, screamed in an extremely shrill voice.
The void quickly closed again, the blood river disappeared, and the red-clad female ghost transformed into a twisted, inhuman blood monster amidst painful screams.
Then the red-clad female ghost, or rather the hideous blood monster, who had stopped screaming, turned her gaze back to the Yellow Springs, her gaping mouth suddenly splitting open, oozing thick, disgusting pus and blood.
Boom! !
An entire wall of the dilapidated library began to collapse, and thick blood gushed out. In the churning blood, a monster roared with its head raised, and blood snakes rose up, frantically biting at Huang Quan and the others.
"You guys...you really know how to find people."
Niu Kun withdrew his gaze, looked at the several terrified girls, and couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, I just wanted to use a few girls who had awakened their spirits but had not been contracted as witches to see if they could lure some valuable evil spirits or monsters.
But now it can be said that the mission has been completely exceeded. Whether or not Niu Kun can take it down next depends on himself.
"Let me do it."
Niu Kun's voice came from behind. Huang Quan, unwilling to accept defeat, snorted in dissatisfaction as he stepped on the Luan Honglian, but he did not disobey Niu Kun's wishes.
Niu Kun, falling from the sky like a cannonball, landed straight in the already overburdened old library building, amidst the churning and exploding blood plasma. The suddenly unfolding flame spiritual energy fought against the surging blood plasma filled with eerie death energy.
"This is a bit insufficient. System, add some points!"
Although the shouting was very forceful,
The actual operation, however, still takes place within the mind; after using 300 points of soul energy to raise the flame aura to level five.
The sudden expansion of the flames made Niu Kun, who was inside, look like a demon from legend... well, okay, Niu Kun really is a demon.
Unfortunately, the level 5 fire spirit energy did not have any new branches for improvement. Apart from the burning damage being strengthened a bit, the burning range was expanded to a radius of eight meters centered on Niu Kun.
The fiery aura began to scorch everything within its range, not only the utensils and buildings in the dilapidated building, but also the churning blood and the hideous blood monster in the center of the blood.
"A pitiful person who inadvertently glimpsed a higher dimension?"
Niu Kun roughly guessed what was going on with the other party. For ordinary people, not knowing is often a form of protection; the more you know, the more tragic the outcome.
The worship of the unknown led him to his destruction.
Countless blood snakes, wreathed in ignited demonic fire, lunged at Niu Kun, only to be shattered by a casual swing of his axe. The roaring blood monsters had clearly lost all reason.
Without any sense of friend or foe, it charged at Niu Kun like the most savage monster, its blood gushing around it ignited by demonic fire.
Chapter 178 Becoming Human (4k)
The burning demonic fire ignited the monster, which seemed to be formed from blood plasma. Layer upon layer of flames slid off the monster's body, resembling burning grease.
Illuminated by the raging flames, the humanoid monster, whose face was completely obscured, could only feel endless pain and hatred as it swung its blood-red whip, which was also ignited by flames, at Niu Kun.
The blood monster, engulfed in flames, looked even more ferocious and terrifying. But despite its frightening appearance, Niu Kun was not human, so he couldn't be afraid of it.
Using elemental weapon skills, Niu Kun transformed two plain special steel battle axes into magical weapons with fire enchantments. His weapon-using skills stemmed from his combat instincts.
The so-called moves are naturally characterized by wide, sweeping movements, using the fastest speed, the most ferocious brute force, and the most efficient reactions to interpret the most domineering offense and defense.
Although Saeko and Yomi, who are formally trained, provided explanations and practice, the so-called moves were originally meant to defeat the opponent more quickly, so Niu Kun's fighting skills were essentially a change in nature.
It only has more agility and changeability. The blood monster in front of us doesn't have any exquisite skills. It just uses its superhuman strength to vent its savagery. It's even less bizarre and unpredictable than when it was in its previous ghost form.
For Huang Quan and the others, such blood monsters might be more troublesome, but for Niu Kun, it was the opposite. For Niu Kun, monsters that dared to confront him head-on were naturally easier to deal with, unless they overwhelmed him in terms of sheer strength.
The blood whip formed from congealed blood plasma was severed by Niu Kun. The battle axe, as fierce as a whirlwind, cleaved the blood monster's body again and again. The flame-enchanted axe blade sliced through the monster's body formed from blood plasma, and the burning damage continuously scorched layer after layer of blood plasma.
The blood monster tried to regenerate its severed limbs and torso, but they were cut off again by Niu Kun as soon as they were restored. Moreover, the blood plasma covering the blood monster's body and the surrounding area that it could not control was drying up more and more under the scorching of the flames.
The blood monster's recovery was getting slower and slower, and it finally regained a little bit of its sanity, trying to use blood magic to drain the blood from Niu Kun's body. Unfortunately, Niu Kun's strong physique and resistance to magic made the blood monster's magic difficult to take effect, or rather, had little effect.
In the end, the increasingly shrunken blood monster attempted to merge with Niu Kun's body. The body, which had been cleaved and destroyed by Niu Kun, transformed into a blood tide that enveloped Niu Kun, who was almost within reach, and turned into a burning blood cocoon.
[Warning: The host has been corrupted by a foreign magical force!]
[A mutated form of magic has occurred, activating the demonic bloodline.]
[The demonic bloodline has been activated. It has devoured foreign magical power, causing it to mutate!]
[The demonic bloodline has mutated... The demonic bloodline has mutated...]
Above the leaden black night sky, it seemed to become ethereal again, as if some being from beyond the world had once again taken notice of this place. But soon, this etherealization stopped, and after a moment, the dark, inky sky returned to normal.
[Demon bloodline mutation complete! [Minotaur Demon] form abilities enhanced! Gained 1 point of Constitution, 2 points of Charisma, [Rapid Regeneration] talent upgraded to [High-Speed Regeneration], and gained the skill [Human Shapeshifting]!]
[High-Speed Regeneration]: After regeneration is upgraded to high-speed regeneration, what was originally a fatal injury to the host will only be equivalent to a moderate injury. Any injury of severe severity or less can be recovered at high speed, including severed limbs that can quickly regrow. Even if the head and torso are severed, they can remain active for six hours and recover after reconnection. When the host's head is severely damaged or more than half of the torso is injured, regeneration is still possible, but the regeneration speed will be moderately reduced. This talent can be further advanced.
[[Human Transformation] (Level 1): The host may cast Human Transformation on themselves or other unresisting creatures once. The target's rank should not exceed that of the host. If the target is successful, they will transform into a human within three hours. After the first cast, the target's human appearance will be fixed based on their original form. When the host uses Human Transformation on them again, the target will reappear with the appearance from the first transformation. This type of spell can only be cast once per day. This spell can be dispelled by the host, but it can also be dispelled due to interference from certain magic or other factors.]
The dried blood cocoon was torn apart from the inside. After Niu Kun, whose eyes were red, broke free, there was still some lingering fear in his eyes. When he was being invaded, he seemed to have seen an extremely terrifying existence.
Fortunately, the other party was not in the same dimensional world as him. However, just a fleeting glance was enough to make Niu Kun have no intention of resisting. If they were in the same world, Niu Kun would probably not be able to escape the other party's pursuit even if they were thousands of miles apart.
Thank goodness...
"The universe is vast, and there are countless powerful beings. We should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and strive to climb higher."
After letting out a long sigh of relief, Niu Kun smiled at Huang Quan and the others, whose faces were filled with anxiety, and reassured them, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll show you a fun spell."
"Wha...what?"
Before Huang Quan could ask in surprise, she saw Niu Kun point at himself. Then, a flash of inspiration struck her, and Niu Kun's body surged with magical power. The dazzling light made the girls close their eyes or look away.
Then, amidst the dazzling light, Niu Kun's robust and imposing figure gradually shrank and twisted. In the blink of an eye, after the light subsided, a clanging sound was heard, followed by Niu Kun's curse.
"This damn spell, why didn't it change my armor too?"
"Huh? Master, you?!"
The girls, regaining their senses, stared in disbelief at Niu Kun, who looked much smaller than before, inside the heavy armor. Niu Kun removed the cumbersome helmet, but this "smaller" size referred to his height and width relative to his previous measurements.
"Don't just stand there, come and help me take off my armor."
As Niu Kun shouted again, Huang Quan, Xi Zi, Hei Yi, and Yi rushed forward and hurriedly helped Niu Kun remove his armor. Then they helped him put on his inner military uniform and tied it up again to prevent him from being exposed.
Although Niu Kun didn't seem to care much about wardrobe malfunctions, the girls still felt that Niu Kun... especially Niu Kun in human form, should be more mindful of his image.
Even after reverting to human form, Niu Kun was still over 1.9 meters tall and had a robust and muscular build. His muscles were as bulging as dragons, but unlike those artificially created muscles from the Nine Dragons Needle, each muscle possessed a life force that could unleash terrifying power at any moment.
His face is strikingly handsome, with a strong, imposing presence. His features are not particularly delicate or beautiful, but they possess a captivating and fierce charm. Upon closer inspection, he even has the kind of handsome, evil villain look.
He has a violent beauty that makes him look like a bad person at first glance, but from a distance, you can't help but admire and yearn for him. His skin tone is close to bronze, and his skin is firm and tight, like tanned cowhide.
You can still vaguely see some of the Minotaur Demon's posture and temperament from before.
"You... I'd almost gotten used to seeing you like that, so why did you suddenly turn into a human again... It feels really awkward..."
Huang Quan couldn't help but mutter something, his eyes darting around nervously, while Xi Zi cheered and jumped onto Niu Kun, shouting with delight, "So handsome, Master!"
Niu Kun tilted his head, put one arm around Xi Zi's slender waist, and asked, "Handsome, right? So, Xi Zi, which type of master do you like?"
“I like them all! As long as it’s my master, I like him. Even if he turns into a big bull that can only moo, I will still like him.”
Completely unfazed by Niu Kun's linguistic trap, Xi Zi snuggled against Niu Kun's face with a blissful expression as she spoke.
"Oh, is that so? Then I can try turning into a real cow too..."
Before Niu Kun could finish speaking, he saw Xi Zi, who was clinging to his neck, suddenly change color. She looked at Niu Kun with a serious expression and said, "Please don't. Xi Zi's last words were just to appease Master. Please don't take them seriously."
"Chi~"
Niu Kun merely scoffed at Xi Zi's change of expression and frankness, then looked at Huang Quan.
"Ahem, don't bother us with such pointless questions."
Huang Quan frowned and curled his lip, saying disdainfully, "Do you really want to hear us say we liked your previous appearance against our will? Even I... at most, I can only say things like Xi Zi, saying we'd love you no matter what you looked like, just to appease you. I... cough... naturally we prefer your current appearance. Of course, we're used to your previous appearance... so we don't dislike it. Anyway... we're already used to it... Master... you're not angry, are you...?"
"No, not at all. I'm not that petty. It's just that my current appearance is only temporary. You'll probably have to get used to my previous look."
Niu Kun wasn't angry when he heard this. He was originally a human who turned into a bull demon, so of course he understood what human aesthetics were like. It's just that he couldn't do anything about it before, but he got used to it.
After getting used to it, perhaps due to the influence of his demonic bloodline, he even grew to like the appearance of the Bull Demon King, and was not as excited about his current human form as he had expected.
It feels like I've turned back into a human, but... it's really not that great.
"Oh, I see. It doesn't matter then..."
Huang Quan nodded seemingly indifferently, then put on a slightly malicious smirk and continued to ask, "So, after you turned into a human, did your penis also shrink?"
Huang Quan's malicious questioning caused Hei Yi and Yi, who had been silent all along, to blush. Then, they subconsciously turned their gazes to Niu Kun's crotch.
"Whether it's shrunk or not, we'll find out when we try again. Don't beg for mercy then."
