”I want that crystal!”

That impulsive thought was like a rising tide beating hard inside Kieranʼs heart and defying his logic.

The calm, cool manner that Kieran was so proud of himself for was close to crumbling down.

His mind was only filled with thoughts about the rank of the crystal, ”If I get that crystal, the killer players would not be a problem anymore!” he thought.

His thoughts became persistent and eventually turned into an instinctive desire.

That desire fed his thoughts and made them grow bigger.

Without any sound or motion, the desire within Kieran turned into a creature that could devour him.

Hundreds and thousands of hands and legs intertwining, all limbs twisted, clashing and fusing together. Each time the limbs came into contact with each other, they formed an eye.

The creature was blood-red in color and emitted an eye-catching, rainbow-like glow.

Circles and layers of sharp fangs and vicious teeth were spinning around like a chainsaw, grinding anything that went close to the creature. Its next target was Kieran himself.

The creatureʼs mouth appeared above Kieranʼs head. Kieran was still in a daze, stunned by the crystalʼs glare.

The creature was about to devour him from top to bottom.

”What a beautiful creature of desire! What an astonishing, twisted, demented fear! Although this would be interesting, Iʼll let your flesh and blood stay temporarily attached to your body! I wanted to see you turn into a Night Monster instead! Oh pitiful peasants, accept the grace of your King!”

The ex-guardian and current Night Race leader saw through the rainbow crystal that Kieran would get devoured by his own desire.

The Night Race leader was astonished, but then he quickly changed his intentions.

The frenzy that had turned him into a Night Monster made him sense that nothing was wrong.

His spirit was connected through the rainbow crystal, and the rainbow crystal instantly started shining brightly.

The creature of desire suddenly opened its mouth and extended tubes as thick as thumbs, poking at Kieranʼs body.

Their strange energy started to immunize Kieranʼs body.

The inoculation was very direct and violent. Its intent was to destroy and recreate cells, creating new bodily fluids, bones and muscle tissue.

It was a smooth process at first, similar to every other alteration process that the crystal had initiated, but as the energy was soaking deep into Kieranʼs body, it met resistance.

A warm, extremely tensile energy appeared, blocking the external energy.

The [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art]!

The continuous practice of the art had fused it with Kieranʼs instinct. Even though he was so dizzy that he had almost fainted, the way he breathed was still in accordance with the body tempering art.

In other words, as long as Kieran was breathing, the [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] would never stop working!

”Huh? Seems like things are getting more interesting! What kind of lineage is this? Well, it doesnʼt matter anymore! All powers are useless against the Eye of Chimeras!”

The Night Race leader was a little shocked by Kieranʼs sudden change, but his shock was soon replaced with maniacal laughter.

The thought of destroying a non-resistant body did not satisfy him enough, even more so when he had seen Kieran, whose body was special.

Only resistance made a body worthy of his attention.

The Night Race leader used the rainbow crystal to increase the inoculation of its energy.

The slight tremble of the rainbow crystal made it shine brightly across the hall. Afraid, all the other Night Monsters hid away. The shining light could penetrate almost every spot inside the hall though.

The Night Monsters could only crawl on the ground, shivering in fear.

Only the Night Race leader could stand still against the light. This made him even more unique than the others.

The Night Race leader was fond of that feeling. It made him laugh violently again.

An air-breaking sound was suddenly heard from above him.

It was a long sword swinging down in mid-air.

The Night Race leader caught the sudden movement with his left hand, his mouth forming a disdainful smile.

”Youʼll never change, Contly! How could such an attack be effective? Donʼt forget that I was your teacher! Everything you know were taught by me!”

Ignoring the sharp edge of the blade, the Night Race leader caught the swinging sword with his bare hand and turned his mocking eyes to look at the red-headed guardian.
