Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 503 Mistaking a Bow for a Snake
The familiar scent of roses, and the seemingly small figure, appeared in Rean's arms the moment she did.

There was no action, no premise; it was as if they had been there all along, only now their disguise had been stripped away.
"Auntie!"

Instantly, someone panicked.

"It's Sister Rose." Then, she got a lecture.

Pinching her cheeks and patting her head, the little devil pressed the big girl down.

The familiar mischievous laugh, the familiar cute flick of her tongue—looking at Purple Rose, who seemed unchanged, Rean felt a sense of peace and joy, even though he knew this sense of peace was somewhat problematic. But her presence itself did indeed increase his sense of security and stability.

Her appearance hadn't changed much, but compared to the previous staff, the new golden staff, which resembled a snake coiled around a pillar, was particularly eye-catching. It was even taller than a person, naturally drawing attention at a glance.

"really miss you."

Even on the battlefield, the girl still embraced Rean, her soft voice filled with sincere longing.

With the sweet and soft girl in his arms, Rean couldn't help but think of "those days." After all, the days that turned a boy into a man were something he would never forget in his life.

But now is not the time for reminiscing, especially with someone watching us like a hawk.
"Don't worry, leave it to me, that little guy."

Purple Rose quickly separated, though she was a little reluctant, her beautiful eyes also turned to the "little guy" in her mouth.

On that battlefield, Felipe has already shown his potential, taking down even those thugs with a single punch.

But facing that enormous creature and the surrounding high-horned priests, it was quite a difficult task.

Not only has his destructive power diminished, leaving him only able to hold on by relying on high speed and high recovery, but his physical body has also undergone significant mutations.
"Fun! Interesting! Let's do it again!"

Getting too close to the source will naturally lead to being eroded and polluted by it, awakening animalistic instincts and suppressing humanity. This abnormal feeling of being replaced will further accelerate the loss of control over life.

But now, Felipe feels a deep joy.

His pupils were blood red, his forehead was covered in horns, and his arms showed obvious signs of keratinization.

He felt anger, joy, and even fear. The moment his bestial nature was infused, his previously thin humanity began to develop its own emotions.

He tore off his extra organs, such as various horns, while laughing hysterically as he ripped apart his opponent.

The originally slender middle-aged man's physique had unknowingly swelled up, and his once inconspicuous limbs had transformed into an absurdly muscular body resembling a giant deer.

This muscle is even stronger and more swollen than muscles developed through drug injections, and its physical strength has also increased visibly.

"Where did you find this little guy? He's pretty good. A normal person who has turned into a beast to this extent is beyond saving, but he doesn't seem to have wavered at all. Uh, does he not have a heart? Interesting, very interesting."

Normal people have humanity and personality. When their animalistic instincts rose up, it was as if wild beasts were devouring their own bodies. But for Felipe, it was an empty environment that gave birth to a more aggressive version of himself.

He was in pleasure.

"kill me!"

"Or, I'll kill you!"

What could be more thrilling than the life-or-death struggle on the battlefield?

When the instinct for killing and survival was activated, Felipe felt a sense of self for the first time. He was confused, then joyful, then frenzied.

This scene felt strangely familiar to Rean; Wu in his dream seemed to be just like this. Only in the face of life and death, only by using the lives of others, could one perceive the joy of existence.

"It's so similar! No, he probably crossed the line even more."

Felipe, who constantly gains life, is not without self and humanity from the beginning; it is only the constant "infusion" that causes it to become diluted. Even now that he has gained emotions and joy, when everything stops, that humanity and animality will inevitably become even thinner.

Now that he's stepped on the gas and enjoyed the thrill of high speed, he naturally can't stop. He might keep chasing the next battlefield, chasing the beasts.

[Felipe's satisfaction rating will be reduced by 10%]

This surprised Rean somewhat. Rean had not expected Wu to like such a successor, after all, a disciple who resembled himself and had unlimited potential.

"Uh, so if people with self-loathing or self-destructive tendencies experience double the mutual loathing?!"

Rean was a little confused, but Purple Rose looked at Felipe with great interest.

For her, the thought of the Beast Kingdom being full of wild beasts, freaks, and madmen didn't seem like a big deal.

"Don't worry, since it's your request, Rose will do her best and make sure he lives. It's a really useful tool; it would be a shame to just let it go like this."

The tone remained unchanged in the first and second halves, but given her serpentine nature and talent for disguise, she had no intention of revealing her true self. After confirming the connection between Rean and the "serpent," Purple Rose had no need to hide her true self.

He likes cute little things, perfumes, and dolls, but he also likes killing, deception, lying, and exploitation. As long as he doesn't harm his loved ones or those around them, he won't care about their personalities.

"%7&￥% (giant)!"

The little girl opened her mouth, revealing a snake's tongue adorned with magical patterns, and uttered a lie that deceived the world.

The next moment, Felipe's body swelled, and his entire body gradually transformed into a giant.

"Directly modify the capacity limit? Is that even possible?!"

The premise of hovering between life and death is being able to be killed with a single slap. Felipe's healing ability is almost limitless, but erasing his physical body in one go would still kill him.

But now, with the appearance of this five- or six-meter-tall little giant, his healing ability has also increased significantly.

But he frowned, seemingly a little annoyed. The excessive "volume" also lengthened the progress bar of his beast transformation, making his emotions thinner and preventing him from losing control.

But judging from the results, he probably won't fall down easily.

This scene piqued Rean's interest, and he thought he might be able to learn from it.

The mage class also has a useful spell like Giant Transformation, but it doesn't seem to compare to true giantification.

As Purple Rose repeatedly stated, snakes do indeed lack offensive capabilities. However, when it comes to providing support, their flexibility in tailoring attacks is unparalleled.

"%7&￥% (giant)!"

Rean subconsciously repeated the sentence, and the next moment, an even stranger scene unfolded.

His body also swelled up, and he transformed into a small giant!
Looking down, all I saw was Purple Rose's incredulous expression. How could such a high level of fraud be directly imitated?
[Beast form increased by 5.7%.]

[Awakening bloodline-related superpowers, seeing snakes in a cup.]
