Roar!!

Aiden raised his head and let out a furious roar. His eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, All rationale completely disappeared. There was only one thought in his mind.

Kill the beast in front of him!

Lily did not seem to notice the difference in him. She continued to wriggle forward, mumbling incoherently.

“Mine, mine…”

After completely transforming into a beast, her intelligence seemed to have decreased quite a bit. She only retained her devouring instincts.

“Die!”

Aiden roared and moved. He raised his hands and pounced on the beast like a wild beast. His speed was astonishing.

Lily’s reaction was not slow. The moment he moved, countless tentacles moved at the same time, shooting at Aiden like arrows.

Thud thud thud thud!

Aiden’s body moved quickly from side to side, dodging the incoming tentacles at an unbelievable angle. Even so, no matter how agile he was in this narrow alley, it was still difficult for him to deal with such a large-scale attack. Soon, he was covered in wounds and his clothes were stained with blood.

However, the pain did not stop Aiden. Instead, it stimulated his ferocity. Facing the tentacles’ storm-like attacks, he charged forward quickly. In just a few breaths, the distance between the two was less than five meters.

By now, Lily had also instinctively sensed the danger. As she waved her tentacles wildly to whip Aiden, she tried to wrap a part of her tentacles around Aiden’s legs to restrict his movements.

However, not only had Aiden become more agile, but his strength had also increased by more than one level. As soon as the tentacles wrapped around his ankle, he tore them off with force. Soon, broken tentacles fell on the ground, whipping around.

“Aiden, Aiden…”

Lily roared as she raised all her remaining tentacles and smashed them into the alley in front of her. The blow was enough to cover the entire alley.

Faced with this unavoidable attack, Aiden didn’t dodge. Instead, he raised his hands and forcefully blocked the tentacles that smashed toward his head. The terrifying force caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ground beneath his feet.

Roar!

With a roar, Aiden grabbed the tentacle that was trying to pull him back and pulled it with all his might. The distance between the two quickly shortened to less than a meter.

Lily waved her tentacles and lashed at Aiden’s body. However, Aiden seemed to be a different person now. Every attack made him even crazier.

Finally, the distance between the man and the beast was less than half a meter.

“Die!”

Aiden drew his legs in and jumped into the air. At the same time, his hands that were holding the tentacles pulled back again, almost lifting Lily’s body off the ground. He quickly closed in.

With a thud, Aiden’s knees slammed into Lily’s face. With the sound of bones breaking and black blood gushing out, Lily screamed. Many of the tentacles on her face broke.

With just one strike, he had severely injured Lily, who had completely transformed into a beast.

However, this wasn’t the end. Aiden’s body flipped in a strange posture, his feet straightening as he stomped heavily on the beast’s face. Then, the man and beast quickly fell to the ground.

Crack!

Dust flew everywhere. Aiden’s kick had almost flattened the beast’s head, but even with such a serious injury, the beast was still struggling crazily, showing no signs of losing its life force.

Aiden, who had gone mad, obviously didn’t care about these things. He continued to hold on to the beast’s tentacles, his right foot stepping on the beast’s chest and head.

Once, twice…

Amidst the crisp sound of bones breaking, the beast’s tentacles gradually stopped waving and began to retract. Finally, it returned to looking like Lily, except that there was a big hole in its chest, and its head was strangely shriveled.

“Why…what…” Lily could not figure out how an ant she could easily crush could suddenly turn and bite an elephant to death.

She was unwilling to give up. She looked at Aiden, whose entire body was blood red like a demon that had walked out of hell. She stretched out her hand. “You… are… mine…”

Aiden’s face was expressionless as he raised his foot and stomped down once more.

Crack!

At that moment, Lily’s head was not much harder than a watermelon. It shattered on the ground.

The blood in Aiden’s eyes slowly faded. He fell heavily to the ground as if all his strength had been sucked out of him. He panted heavily and didn’t stop even after inhaling a large amount of dust.

“What… happened to me just now?”

During that time, Aiden felt as if his body didn’t belong to him. There was only one goal in his mind, and that was to kill the vicious beast.

“Could it be my new ability?”

Aiden pondered, but soon, his thoughts were interrupted by the pain spreading throughout his body. He couldn’t help but moan.

“F*ck! It really hurts…”

In just a short while, there were at least a hundred more wounds on his body. Most of them were superficial wounds, but some were more serious. For example, his right foot was already a little deformed. It should be a fracture.

Apart from that, Aiden could clearly feel the muscles in his entire body aching. His joints and ligaments also felt strained, as if he had trained too hard.

“Looks like my body couldn’t adapt to the battle just now.”

But now was not the time to consider these things.

Looking at Sophia lying behind him, Aiden gritted his teeth and endured the pain as he stood up and staggered to her side.

“Sophia…”

After the previous healing halo, Sophia’s wound had healed a little, but the truly fatal thing was the broken bones in her chest. This was something that the healing halo could not quickly heal.

However, Aiden didn’t think too much about it. He took a deep breath and was about to release another healing aura.

However, the battle just now had exhausted all his stamina. He could not release the healing halo at all. Not only that, but it also made him dizzy and he almost fainted again.

“F*ck!”

Aiden gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice. This damned ability always had problems at critical moments.

However, at this moment, there was a muffled thunder above his head. Then, a bolt of lightning flashed, and raindrops fell.

He had to leave as soon as possible!

Aiden knew that now was not the time to complain. The most important thing now was to leave this place and bring Sophia to Professor Martin. He believed that, with his methods, it would be easy for him to treat Sophia’s injuries.

With difficulty, Aiden carried Sophia on his back. He took a deep breath and ran in the direction of the school.

“We must make it in time!”

“We must!”
