Chapter 148: The Invasion of the Third-Party, Evil Humanoid Monsters, Hiding in Andy Lake (Part 2)

Editor: Entelechy

Relying on his strength alone, Clyde repelled the underground ratmen and drove these humanoid monsters out of Service Hotel. Afterward, Clyde wanted Anna and the others to take refuge on the second floor of Service Hotel, so he transformed the stairway into a third line of defense. However, the second floor had already been occupied by humanoid monsters. When Clyde arrived at the stairs, he felt a burst of moist air and the strong smell of blood. Now, Anna and others were in defenseless states, so Clyde couldn’t let them fall in danger. If by chance they met with an accident, he would lose face.

Clyde went towards the luxurious room on the second floor by himself. Climbing up the stairs, he found this place shrouded in mist. In the midst of the haze, there seemed to be a lot of strange figures moving that didn’t belong to the Human Race. He could see that their heads were like fish heads. To his surprise, Clyde recognized these fellows. In the past when he had been investigating the Needham Plains, these humanoid monsters had attacked the investigation squad led by “Radiant Saintess” Suhiya. They were fishmen hunters.

The few underground ratmen who had jumped into the luxurious room on the second floor to launch a surprise attack had been wiped out by these fishmen along with the left behind human soldiers. Although these humanoid monsters had decent intelligence, they had no intentions of befriending others, even if the other party were also monsters. Clyde was temporarily uncertain about whether these fishmen hunters stemmed from the same background as those he had encountered in the Needham Plains or whether they were the original residents of this large artificial lake.

The moment Clyde arrived on the second floor, those fishmen hunters noticed him, shooting several several blow arrows whistling through the mist. The attacks of the fishmen hunters were far more terrifying than those of the underground ratmen since the arrows were smeared with toxin. If a person were hit, he or she would die within a short period of time. Clyde’s armor emitted white smoke from where the blow arrows had landed as his armor dissolved. Fortunately, he was not human and was not affected by the poison; otherwise, he would have eaten a loss.

“You guys again! This is not your domain! Roll back to the water for me!”

Clyde took advantage of the fishmen’s surprise and rushed to a fishman hunter before directly kicking him through the air. This fishman hunter was covered in scales, providing him a defensive power much stronger than that of a human wearing armor. In addition, their bodies were also covered in water droplets that conferred an innate resistance against the attacks of most weapons of Human Race. Therefore, Clyde directly gave up his weapon. Without using a sword, he directly punched with his bare hands, relying on brute strength.

The fishmen’s intelligence was not any inferior to the underground ratmen’s. Upon seeing Clyde killing their companion, they immediately gathered together. Clyde estimated that there were roughly a hundred fishmen hunters who all seemed unaffected by his fierce aura. After attacking those underground ratmen and the remaining human soldiers, these fishmen had begun placing the surviving special maids in nets; they were preparing to drag them into the artificial lake Andy.

In some aspects, fishmen hunters were more terrifying than the ratmen who only looted treasure. As for the fishmen hunters, they dragged these white lambs to their nests under the water where they would be treated as ... Regarding this, there were many records in Light Church of which Clyde had learned from those saintesses. Because this information was too frightening, Light Church had deliberately concealed it in fear of causing unnecessary panic.

Clyde dealt with these fishmen hunter similarly to how he had dealt with those underground ratmen before. Picking up a long iron rod from the ground, he began to rapidly rotate and advanced, a blunt version of the blade storm from before. The fishmen hunters surrounding him were sent flying in addition to suffering internal injuries. Many spat mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground. The small number of fishmen hunters who survived by luck immediately ran to the window and jumped back into the artificial lake Andy. Since they had suffered serious internal injuries, even though they had managed to escape, they would still soon lose their lives. Among the near hundred fishmen hunters who had forcibly occupied the luxurious room on the second floor of Service Hotel, only a dozen or so were able to escape back to the lake, all with serious injuries. Now, the second floor was a lot quieter, and the mist brought by those fishmen hunters slowly dissipated.

Clyde walked to the window of the second floor to check whether these fishmen hunters had truly retreated completely or not. Their vengeful hearts were not any inferior to those of the underground ratmen; they were merely suppressed by other high leveled monsters. Although it was a full moon tonight, the moonlight had turned blood-red due to the emergence of high leveled monsters. Generally speaking, if their numbers reached a certain limit, it would easily cause such environmental changes. Under the illumination of that bloody moonlight, the atmosphere of Benson Town was a lot more terrifying.

Under the illumination of the bloody moonlight, a large number of demons with black wings circled in the air. They held demonic pitchforks in their hands and stared at the surface of Lake Andy. Once a fishmen hunter popped its head out, they would immediately be caught and killed by those demons under the leadership of Ancient Demon King Andrisno who had specially come here to assist Clyde. The troops under Clyde’s younger sister Lucifer were not useful against these fishmen, because the Bloodkin familiae were powerless in flowing water. Although Lucifer was not limited by this restriction, she alone couldn’t deal with all the humanoid monsters in this large lake. She could only suppress them at most.

Upon seeing there was no way to gain an advantage, the fishmen hunters reluctantly retreated into their depths. They weren’t ignorant and fearless like the underground ratmen who would fearlessly confront high-level monsters. Only after a large number of their companions died would the ratmen become sensible and withdraw.

The three earls had smoothly escaped via a boat along Cooper River connected to artificial Lake Andy Artificial Lake. The aristocrats on this boat were relatively lucky. The other boats had suffered heavy casualties from the attacks of fishmen hunters just after entering the water. Many of the boats had sunk with people falling into the lake and dying. With the fishmen hunters, those who fell into the lake had basically no chance of surviving.

The demons who had appeared in the sky indirectly became the saviors of the Human Race. With their deterrence, the fishmen hunters didn’t dare to emerge. As a result, the three earls survived. Instead of diving into the water, they awaited orders and waited for the arrival of their superior while confronting the fishmen hunters. After receiving a report of the situation, Ancient Demon King Andrisno dispatched several high-level monsters that could fight underwater. At present, Andy Lake Area had a brief tranquil respite while the two sides prepared for battle. The atmosphere was tense. However, both sides refrained from attacking as if they were waiting for the right chance.

The only matter was that all the major aristocrats following the three earls were on the same boat; thus, they all successfully escaped the attacks of the fishmen hunters. However, they were unable to conceal their expressions of frustration and embarrassment. The boat only had male aristocrats, and all of them had run away without caring about their wives and daughters. If this news spread, their reputations would be ruined. Naturally, if all the people here kept their mouths shut, no one would learn this news.

“Your Excellency Gerard, you can take Leopold Lake Area. I will not step in these muddy waters. There are monsters everywhere. We should report this to Light Church!”

“Your Excellency Gerard, I also don’t want it. I nearly lost my life this time. It isn’t worth it!”

“Your Excellency Fred, Your Excellency Edgar, allegedly, Light Church has yet to completely deal with another large-scale undead calamity, so they have no time to care about this place. I also don’t want it. We should look for a foolish spender to purchase this land later. Now, we should discuss how to explain the deaths of the special envoys!”

This time, the three earls didn’t argue. They now all considered the Leopold Lake area a hot potato. With monsters everywhere, even if there were many resources, nothing could be converted into wealth. Underground ratmen and fishmen hunters, these two kinds of monsters, were already troublesome enough, but there was also a third party of monsters of unknown origins, those high-level demons flying in the sky. Now, they only wanted to leave this ominous land as soon as possible. They ignored their daughters and wives trapped in Service Hotel. They believed that the women had all been ruthlessly killed by those humanoid monsters.

After hearing the three earls’ discussion, the aristocrats following them fell silent, not daring to utter a sound in fear of having the three earls force them to take Leopold Lake. Now, whoever took the Leopold Lake Area would truly be an unlucky person. Among the young masters of the three earls, only Viscount Gerald looked towards Service Hotel with a conflicted gaze. He secretly prayed for the safety of his younger sister Anna. Although it was unlikely, Viscount Gerald could only do this now.

In the luxurious room on the second floor of Service Hotel, Miss Anna and the others had warily rested. These white lambs were quite tired, but their fair figures trembled slightly, feeling ill at ease about the environment. Clyde, however, maintained his composure. He consoled Anna and the others while secretly admiring their insatiable white figures under the cover of his helmet. Since they were in a crisis-ridden, terrifying environment, these white lambs were focused on their safety, forgetting that they were standing completely bare in front of a man and letting him enjoy their every secret at will.

“Mister Clyde, where should we go next? Is there no usable clothing here? The night is very cold. I’m afraid many will not be able to hold on until tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry about that. I know of a safe place. As long as we reach there, we don’t need to worry about the harassment of underground ratmen or fishmen hunters. You all, follow me! Let’s go out through the back door...”

“Going out now and walking through the streets with our current appearance... Isn’t that rather unsuitable? Is there anything to wear...”

“It’s not a problem. Practically everyone on the streets is dead. Those who survived must have already run away. No one will see.”

Clyde raised a suggestion to wander the streets in their current states. Upon hearing his suggestion, these ladies were unable to conceal their embarrassment. However, they had no choice. Coupled with Miss Anna’s secret assistance, they quickly accepted Clyde’s suggestion. No one could notice his wicked smile hidden beneath his helmet. These prey were hooked; it was time to pull in the net.
