Beast!

Brugdath was calm was composed when he glanced at the incoming Edolina, he flashed to dodged her most troublesome move; the flurry of slashes. Brugdath ducked and rolled out of harm's way, his short figure make it easy for him to do so.

Brugdath smiled as he dodged Edolina's claw. Fighting the enemy when they go mad is his favorite part about fighting.

"Edolina it seems like your graceful attack pattern is gone, haha!" Brugdath laughed while he effortlessly dodged another attack. "I wonder what Rogerious will think about you. He didn't know you can transform into a beast, didn't he?"

Edolina stopped dead, fear engulfed her.

Brugdath grinned, it seemed like Rogerious was her weak spot. "Oh... What lovely stuff, except that it's no longer lovely," Brugdath had his finger on his chin as he inspected Edolina from tip to toe.

Edolina saw what Brugdath was doing and couldn't help but examine her figures, it was no longer human, no longer a girl, and no longer beautiful.

She looked at her hand with parted lips; hideous claws and spiky forearms, she glanced at her legs; it was thick and hairy.

Tears fell from her eye, her lips trembled and she felt cold inside. What had she become: a monster.

"That's right Edolina. You are a monster," Brugdath walked up to the railing of the balcony, he glanced into the distance. "That said. Where is Rogerious? Did he leave the moment he sees your true form?" Brugdath turned and glanced at Edolina.

Edolina was stunned. Yes where was Rogerious, why didn't he come, maybe he did leave. She looked at the view, violent winds blew and the sky was blocked by grey clouds, it was gloomy just like her heart.

Brugdath glanced at the woman with the broken heart. What a pitiful woman, if you love him then you shouldn't have shown your true form, it's not like those sniper bullets could kill you, Brugdath thought.

"Are you gonna stay here lamenting about your pitiful state or will you leave?" Brugdath said.

Edolina looked at him before turning her attention to the gloomy sky, she raised her claws and pointed its sharp tip at her throat.

Brugdath sighed. What a dramatic woman, it's not like you can't look for other men in this world.

Her claws inched closer and closer before -

Slam!

"Thank god I'm not late. you should slow down a little. I can't climb a building this tall," Rogerious breathed with ragged breath, he ran from the first floor to the top with his legs, it was not easy at all even for a cultivator like him.

Edolina was startled and shocked by Rogerious's arrival, although in her heart she always expected Rogerious to come.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"Now run up to him and kissed him and you will return to your real appearances just like in the movie," Edolina and the others turned their head to the corner and saw a man in a black suit materialized out of thin air.

"Damm, you've been there all this time? Why don't you help me earlier!" Brugdath yelled.

"Hey, I just arrived here," Jin Sung replied.

"Bullshit!" Brugdath turned his back towards Jin Sung and said: "If you want to fight him, don't bother about me,"

Edolina and Rogerious stared at Jin Sung.

"Y... You said the thing about returning to my real appearances in the movie, is this movie can help me return my look to normal?" Edolina stared with hope.

Jin Sung was startled, he only said that as a joke, who would've thought this woman would believe it.

"Yes, it can but the condition is complicated," Jin Sung said heavily but his mouth grinned behind the mask.

"How complicated?"

"Well, I don't know if you can handle it,"

"Just tell me!" Edolina bellowed. making Rogerious startled because this is the first time he saw Edolina shouted at someone.

"Alright, you will need to be injected with a syringe of placebo every day until the moon blocks the sun, and you also need to sleep with the one you love every night," Jin Sung said.

Edolina frowned, she didn't know where to get the syringe of placebo but the one she loved-- she took a peek at Rogerious, before turning her head while being flushed, although nobody can see that while she was in her beast form.

"Whe-"

"I have the syringe of placebo and I can make a lot of it!" Jin Sung cut off Edolina's word.

Rogerious frowned, suspicious of what Jin Sung is planning.

"But you have to pay for it and stop attacking the rebel forces and its allies." Jin Sung continued.

Rogerious furrowed his eyebrows, this is getting murkier and murkier, he didn't believe any word that came out of Jin Sung's mouth. He believed it was just a trick, recalling how many cultivators he has recruited, Jin Sung must be a skillful liar to be able to trick that many cultivators to fight for the mortal.

He was always skeptical about Jin Sung, recruiting cultivators for fighting for him, making BrinePort his allies, and last but not least creating weird but powerful artifacts. None of these is an easy feat for a mortal.

"I... I ag-"

"I disagree!" Edolina was cut off again, this time it was Rogerious.

Rogerious walked up to Jin Sung and said: "do you have proof do you have that you can change her appearance to normal?"

"I don't," Jin Sung bluntly replied.

"Sho- Wait what! You don't have proof?" Rogerious was shocked, what the hell was this man thinking.

"Nope," Jin Sung shrugged.

Rogerious turned to Edolina."Edolina, this man is lying to you, and remember that he's our enemy. He can't possibly give you the syringe without a price!"

Edolina was in doubt when she saw Rogerious tried to convince her, is this man truly lying?

"Who said you can get it for free, you need to pay with artifacts and you can't attack me and my allies if not I will not let you buy the placebo syringe," Jin Sung retorted, he was irritated. He clearly said that they need to pay.

"But you still don't have proof, what if your stupid placebo does not work?" Rogerious retorted.

Edolina walked up to them. It was no good. She'd have to say something to end their quarrel. She cleared her throat nervously. "Um -- Rogerious, Why don't you let me try his method, if it didn't work we can just kill him or wreck his city," She said innocently.

Rogerious was shocked, as he had expected, only Edolina could say such words with innocence.

Jin Sung rolled his eyes when heard what Edolina said.

"No -- what if he put dangerous stuff in there?!" Rogerious worriedly warned.

"Then you can kill him for me," Edolina replied.

Rogerious, Jin Sung, and Brugdath were dumbfounded.

Rogerious grimaced, that's not the point Edolina, what matters is that you could get killed

"You could get killed!" Rogerious warned again.

"It's fine," she said softly. "But please kill him if I do,"

"Uh..." Rogerious glanced at Jin Sung only to see him shrugged. "I still can't let you risk your life," Rogerious held her shoulder as he looked at her in the eye; it was blood-red with the shape of a blooming flower.

"It's fine Rogerious," She smiled, Although it looked more like a sinister grin.

"Hey, can you hurry up with the decision, I have a city to fix and I can't stand you both have a romantic scene in front of me!" Jin Sung crossed his arm while tapping the floor with his feet.

Rogerious Ignored Jin Sung and said: "It's not fine, remember that this man is the one who makes you looked like this," Rogerious pointed towards Jin Sung.

"Yeah, and it was also my fault that you guys enter the city, kill my citizen, and destroyed the city building!" Jin Sung yelled.

How was that supposed to be my fault, it's you guys who barge into my city and kill my people, he thought.

When Rogerious and Edolina heard that they realize it was true, it was them who barge into the city and killed people, Jin Sung only does his job as the city lord, Protecting the city.

Edolina glanced at Rogerious before she said: "He was right, Rogerious, it was us that attacked him, he had always known that we are inside the city but he didn't block our path or prevented us from entering,"

"How do you know?" Rogerious asked.

"That," Edolina pointed towards the camera that is placed on the corner. "Everywhere we pass that thing will always turn like it was looking at us,"

"Hoo, you are quite attentive. Would you like to be a member of our spy agent?" Jin Sung offered.

"But I still not think you should trust him," Rogerious said while ignoring Jin Sung again.

Jin Sung rolled his eyes and said: "For god's sake, let her decides for herself are you her father or something!"

"No, no, let them continue. I like the view from up here," Brugdath replied while he perched on the railings as he enjoyed the view.

"Shut up! Listen to me, okay, either you leave or take my offer I didn't lose anything at all, I don't have time for this!"

"Why are you so impatient," Brugdath said from the railings.

"I'm not talking to you Brug,"

"What did you just call me?" Brugdah turned and looked at Jin Sung.

"Nothing," Jin Sung replied.

"I'm pretty sure I heard something," Brugdath jumped off the railing before he walked up to Jin Sung.

"Must be your imagination. Brug,"

"I knew it, I told you not to call me that, did it go to deaf ears?" Brugdath said grabbing Jin Sung's shoulder.

"And I also said not to touch my shoulder!"

"Bullshit, you never said that to me or anyone else," Brugdath tightened his grip.

Jin Sung groaned slightly before he squeezed Brugdath's arm and said: "If you want to have a rematch you could've said so,"

"Yeah? I'm afraid you couldn't handle it," Brugdath grinned.

Edolina and Rogerious look left and right at the pair, what were we talking about just now?
