CHAPTER 1060: CHAPTER 1062: HASSUDAN AND THE BEAST OF FEAR

The thousands of black energy swords embedded in different monsters are the best deterrent.

All the people involved in the riot in the entire slum were intimidated by those black longswords.

Wen Wen can use the black longswords to precisely kill these monsters and can just as precisely kill anyone here, so the riot was easily quelled.

Subsequently, Wen Wen led the monster that the old woman had transformed into back to her home.

This old building has some history, and the elderly people living nearby are all friends with each other.

From their mouths, Wen Wen learned about the old woman’s life story.

She is sixty-two years old, her daughter was a lawyer in Baidiya, and her son was an employee at the Baidiya Security Union.

The Baidiya Security Union is a cover for the Hunter Association in Baidiya, which means her son was a supporter.

Due to a bizarre incident, her son and daughter both passed away, and the compensation after their deaths was exchanged for over thirty low-rent apartments in the slum.

The old woman relied on rental income and had no issues with her living conditions.

She was very kind usually; if tenants were in financial difficulty, she would agree to delay rent payments or even waive a month’s rent.

Moreover, she would try to meet tenants’ needs as much as possible, which made her highly respected in the area.

However, such an old woman was silently transformed into a monster, and it’s very likely that her killer was one of her tenants.

Wen Wen followed the traces of black energy to find the house with the strongest feeling of unease, which seemed to be occupied by a female tenant.

Camilla is the name of that woman.

Wen Wen used the local Association channel to find some information about Camilla. Initially, he thought she was just an ordinary person, and the information wouldn’t be too detailed, but it turned out her life was quite colorful, with several pages of entries.

After reading all the information, Wen Wen smirked, "This woman is quite a bitch... But based on her character of not even sparing her landlord, I guess I might know where she is."

...

On the other side of Baidiya, a demon hunter in a white robe shot a dark-skinned monster with a gold inlaid pistol.

This demon hunter’s attire was somewhat similar to Owen, but his style was miles ahead of Owen.

His white robe was woven from platinum threads, with some dye spray to make it less conspicuous.

He wore a metal ring around his neck and three necklaces, each radiant and priceless, with different styles of rings, rubies, sapphires, diamonds, and emeralds on his ten fingers...

Even his slippers were made of pure gold, and there was a ring on each toe.

His appearance might just suggest he was an ordinary nouveau riche, but upon closer inspection, every piece of his accessories was a superpower item.

The platinum robe he wore was a containment item passed down from the Dongyou Region’s royal family a thousand years ago.

Dozens of such monsters lay sprawling around him, and compared to the monsters in the slum, these had darker skin, some protruding bone spurs, and were much more powerful.

The old woman was already the most powerful dark-skinned monster in the slum, but here she was outmatched by many.

"Akai, Sudir, Chalayas..."

The demon hunter continued to shoot the not-quite-dead dark-skinned monsters, weeping.

He knew many of these dark-skinned monsters, and just hours ago, they were smiling, providing him with the best service, now twisted into monsters.

"No matter who you are, I, Ha Erman Asude, will make you pay."

The Asude Family is the largest clan power in the Dongyou Region, and Ha Erman is the heir of the family.

Feng Ruixing may be rich, but in front of the Asude Family, he’s just a kid.

Aside from the Hunters Association and the Glory Church, the Asude Family is the king here, and even the Federal Government doesn’t dare to offend them lightly.

Because the Asude Family, as a transcendent family, had a high probability of awakening supernatural power among its direct members.

Ha Erman is the most talented young member of the family, just over thirty, already a true sequence rank superpower user.

He has no interest in inheriting the family’s billions, focusing all his energy instead on demon hunting.

Of course, being so rich, his style is entirely different from other demon hunters; problems solvable with money are never a problem for him.

His equipment would make even Wen Wen envious.

He bought a villa in this luxurious residential area, living apart from his family while maintaining good relations with the staff here.

Now seeing so many familiar faces twisted into monsters ignited his fury.

After dealing with all the visible dark-skinned monsters, Ha Erman pulled a giant crystal ball from his space ring.

This crystal ball, called the Eye of Asude, was a family heirloom—a containment item that could be used for divination to find a person or object, or even just a single hair.

Wisps of black smoke appeared in the crystal ball, showing ominous signs.

In the crystal ball, Ha Erman saw a clear path, so he packed the crystal ball and followed the path.

...

Egger walked down the street, holding a dark-skinned monster in his hand.

With a light force, his hand sank into the monster’s body, and its flesh, blood, organs, and even hair were absorbed into his hand.

"Heh heh, that’s the smell, the scent of a fear beast."

"Living off human fear, born to destroy, to threaten, to bury humanity in the abyss."

"But for me, it’s the best food. At least after eating this fear beast, my brain should grow back a bit."

He touched his empty skull, a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth.

Egger currently had no world-destroying plans; avoiding the Black Night Knight was more important. The knight’s terrifying fighting style left an unerasable shadow in his heart.

Egger never imagined that after reaching the Catastrophe Level, his first task would be to run for his life.

"The fear beast is still too weak; even after eating it, the benefits aren’t enough... Better let the chaos get more complete, then I’ll have the perfect food."

He lightly placed his hand on the wall of a building, and soon the place erupted with intense screams.

Twisted monsters emerged one after another from the building, scattering in all directions.

"It seems I overdid it. Next time, I should be gentler. The lunatic from Morning Star may not be any easier to deal with than the Black Night Knight, and I can’t let her find me."
