Chapter 35: Out of Control

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Vanessa walked towards George, everyone had their hearts in their mouths.

Even though everyone’s heard of how terrifying George could be, those who had witnessed it were no longer around. Thus, though nervous, everyone was also a tiny bit excited.

They really wanted to see for themselves what would happen if George was disturbed.

However, nothing happened.

George continued to eat his meat as if he hadn’t heard Vanessa’s voice,

gnawing on the last of the roasted Demon Ox’s legs.

George’s lack of response did not lead to everyone feeling relieved. They had a feeling that the show was only about to begin.

After all, George still had Celia beside him, and Vanessa also had not done anything drastic.

But what would happen next was hard to say.

Vanessa sat down directly across from George.

Seeing Vanessa’s actions, Celia remained expressionless. She was now certain that the woman was here for George.

As for the reason, she did not know.

But after thinking about it, there was only one possibility, and that was the information she had sold to Anna.

If they wanted to know more, wanted more detailed information, then everything made sense.

Just as Celia was about to say something, Vanessa spoke first.

This time, not only had she made a sound, but she even touched George’s food.

Pa!

George, who had been eating, suddenly dropped the Demon Ox Leg he was eating, and with his still-greasy hand, gripped tightly onto Vanessa’s arm.

His other hand was raised in the air.

Upon seeing this scene, Clayton was shocked.

Amidst his surprise, he thought to himself reproachfully, “Such speed!”

When a spring was wound too tightly, it would need to be relaxed.

George was the same way. It was fine when they were out in the wild, but when they were eating at a restaurant, George would let go of his self-control and release some of his tightly-suppressed hunger.

Under these circumstances, George’s intellect would remain eroded by hunger until he had finished all of his food, making him very dangerous.

George in this state was like a wild beast.

Should his meal be interrupted, George would reveal a terrifyingly brutal side to him.

His face was clearly covered in grease and he looked very unsightly, but no one laughed at him.

An atmosphere of terror blanketed the Volcano Giant.

Siluca, who was nibbling on the meat, froze. Then, she threw the meat away and jumped into Selia’s arms, shivering in fear.

The expressions of everyone present changed as they felt the pressure he exuded. George’s imposing aura alone was able to stun these seasoned adventurers, to the point where they couldn’t even move.

The situation caused everyone to lose their minds. Fear began to spread within them.

“The stories were true.”

“I didn’t expect that incident to be true.”

“Customers, see what you’ve done.”

“My god, you knew this would happen and you still did it?”

“Temple Trash, are you guys crazy?”

“Quickly, someone think of something, we don’t want to die yet!”

“Damn it, George, George, it’s me, it’s me!”

“Stop shouting, do you think you’re Celia…” One of them started, then stopped mid-sentence. Realizing something, he quickly called out to Celia, who was next to George.

Everyone in Gainsborough knew that if anyone could bring George back when he lost control, it would be Celia.

“That’s right. Celia, quick, tell him that we mean no harm.”

“Celia, do something, quick! If you don’t stop him now, it will be too late.”

Celia remained unmoving despite the anxious shouts around her and made no move to dissuade George.

Her eyes were fixed on Vanessa. Her instincts told her that since she dared to provoke George then she must be counting on something.

In any case, should something really go wrong, Celia just had to put a stop to it.

Celia threw George a look of deep sympathy. She knew George’s constitution and understood the reason for his condition.

It made her dote on George that much more. Always wishing that he could enjoy himself as much as possible, and be able to ease the suffering of that insatiable hunger whenever he could.

Sure, thanks to this special constitution, George had become incredibly strong. However, in Celia’s eyes, this was a terrifying curse that he might never be able to free himself from.

At the thought of this, Celia’s heart ached.

Hence, she would never forgive anyone who dared to disturb George’s meal, even if that person was herself.

On the other hand, Vanessa was surprised to see that despite the violent aura he was exuding, George’s face was expressionless.

She was not the least bit concerned for her own safety. A happy smile spread across her face, as if she had discovered an interesting toy.

Upon seeing this smile, Selia’s impression of Vanessa hit rock bottom.

Now she really wanted to see why this woman was so fearless.

The inscription on Vanessa’s clothes shimmered and a stream of power flowed into George’s hand.

In an instant, George’s hand was pushed away and Vanessa regained her freedom.

Light began to converge. Beads of silvery light flecked with gold specks coalesced in George’s other hand.

Noxkaius had responded to George’s summons, and upon absorbing his energy, provided him with a vast amount of light energy.

Across the room, Clayton drew his sword and shielded Vanessa behind him the moment she broke free.

“Your Holiness, please don’t do such reckless things in the future,”

Clayton turned to admonish the saint.

Just as he finished his sentence, a beam of light shot out from the tip of Noxkaius.

But Clayton continued to look at Vanessa as if he hadn’t seen the incoming beam, almost like he was awaiting her response.

Boom!

An intense blast of air rippled across the room, blowing away all the surrounding food and tables.

Seeing this, George ceased his attack and opened his mouth wide.

Then, a terrifying suction force appeared above George’s head.

There, above George’s head, was a small black dot. It was also the origin of the terrifying suction force.

As time passed, the black dot continued to expand.

Feeling the force behind the suction, everyone present subconsciously grabbed onto something to secure themselves.

Affected by this suction force, the food that was about to land on the ground began flying towards the black dot on George’s head.

“How interesting.”

As the food and sawdust flew into the hole, the smoke from the explosion dissipated, revealing Vanessa and Clayton who were unharmed.

Looking at the black hole above George’s head, Vanessa became more interested in him..
