Chapter 40: Eddy’s Mutation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This guy actually ran back, and he was extremely fast. With red eyes, he jumped up and kicked Jack in the abdomen. He was so fast that before Aiden could react, Jack was already flying backward with his huge arm and rolling on the ground in a sorry state.

Aiden stared blankly at the scene before him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Was this still the same Eddie who would pant after running two steps?

Never mind Eddie, this terrifying jumping ability was not even something any ordinary person could do, right?

“Eddie, you…”

Aiden was about to speak when he saw from the corner of his eye that Jack, who had fallen to the ground, was ‘standing’ again.

Or rather, he was forced to stand up: the mutated hand quickly supported Jack’s entire body off the ground.

As soon as Eddie stopped, the huge hand attacked the two again.

Aiden’s stamina was depleted. There was no time for him to escape, let alone resist. Eddie, however, was different.

“Jack, you bastard, are you crazy?!” Eddie seemed to have become a different person. He took a step forward and stood in front of Aiden, his face filled with hostility.

“I’ll teach you a lesson today, you bastard!”

Damn it, this bastard usually attracted the attention of countless girls by relying on his face to flirt with girls, causing the handsome Mr. Eddie to not be noticed. He had long wanted to find an opportunity to beat up this gigolo!

As he spoke, the muscles on his entire arm suddenly began to expand crazily, bursting through his sleeves. At the same time, a black keratin appeared and wrapped around his two huge arms like armor. From afar, he looked like he had two huge metal arms. Coupled with his slightly round body, he looked incongruous.

Aiden was dumbfounded.

This, this, this… Eddie had turned into a beast?

To his shock, Eddie let out a snarl like a wild animal, swinging his massive arms at the oncoming giant hands.

BANG!

Two similarly huge but completely different arms began to fight.

“F*ck, I didn’t expect you to be so strong!” Eddie grinned hideously and gritted his teeth. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes unknowingly turned blood-red. His body moved forward step by step, pushing Jack’s body until it reached the wall.

Jack’s mutated right arm was no match for Eddie at all. The huge eyeball turned restlessly as if it had its own mind.

“Pour it!”

With a roar, Eddie’s arms snapped around Jack’s right arm and he flung it.

Plop!

Jack fell heavily to the ground. His body twitched slightly before he fainted. The eyeball on his right arm revealed a hint of unwillingness and slowly closed.

As the eyes closed, Jack’s right arm began to slowly shrivel until it was back to normal.

It was only now that Aiden came back to his senses. Looking at his friend Eddie’s back, he felt an inexplicable sense of fear.

Was he really just a Fool?

Why did Eddie give him so much more pressure than Lily and the Slaughter Beast just now?

Could it be that it was really as Professor Martin had said? That Eddie’s level was higher than that of ordinary Direbeasts?

‘What do I do?’

Aiden was a bit hesitant. He didn’t know if he should flee or stay where he was.

Eddie turned slowly, his scarlet eyes glowing a strange red in the night.

“Eddie…” Aiden swallowed and called out carefully. At the same time, he slowly leaned back and sat down, ready to escape at any moment.

Hearing his voice, Eddie looked up. The red light in his eyes quickly dissipated, and his arms returned to their original state bit by bit. Just as Aiden heaved a sigh of relief, Eddie suddenly let out a loud howl. “Ahhh—”

Aiden jumped in fright, thinking that he was about to go berserk. In the end, this guy suddenly knelt on the ground, covered his face, and cried out loud, “F*ck!! I, I, I… I’m too f*cking awesome! F*ck… Boohoo, I, f*cking…”

Huh??

Aiden’s jaw dropped. At that moment, he felt that his expression must be comical.

Was his brother… really that stupid?

After crying for a while, Eddie suddenly got up and rushed forward to hug Aiden’s thigh. He was crying and laughing at the same time. “Did you see that? My beast right arm, f*ck! It’s too awesome!”

“Uh, yes, yes, yes. Impressive, impressive…”

The corners of Aiden’s mouth twitched as he revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. He secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, this fellow wasn’t very smart. Otherwise, he would have died here today.

Eddie hugged him and howled. Snot and tears smeared his pants. Just as Aiden gritted his teeth and was about to kick the bastard away, Eddie seemed to remember something and jumped up.

“Ah, right! I almost forgot about Jack, that bastard!”

With that, he turned and ran to Jack’s side. After making sure he was unconscious, he ran back.

“What should we do? This kid is actually a half-orc.”

Aiden also had a headache. One of his two childhood friends was the Fool, and the other looked like a vicious beast. He was stuck in the middle and in a difficult position.

“Let’s carry him back to his room first.”

Fortunately, there was no one nearby. Otherwise, the scene of the few of them fighting just now would probably attract many ferocious beasts.

The only way Aiden could think of was to control Jack first. As for whether he was a beast or not, he had to find a way to test it.

Speaking of testing…

Aiden’s eyes flicked to Eddie, who was busy trying to get Jack on his back, and he smiled.

“Eddie, I think there’s a strip club near your house, right?”
