Chapter 353: Three Girls

The scent of blood from that human settlement caught the attention of the adventurer's trio. They were planning on going there, but now instead of walking, they were dashing toward the village, afraid something terrible had happened.

"What happened?" thought Arthur as he woke up.

He looked around, seeing the pile of human corpses, and slowly the memories about what had happened returned to him, making him understand it! So he got a new powerful skill and a new type of essence.

That alone would make him happy, but the fact he turned into a furious beast was not something he liked.

"Did it happen because of the Emperor Eye or the new blood essence? I wish my system kept track of those things, but this is something I will have to look up alone."

Arthur was not that shaken about what had happened. He only feared one day hurting those he cared about but killing strangers was not a big deal to him anymore.

Perhaps when he first entered that world, he would feel disgusted by it, but now it meant nothing. Also, Arthur was no longer human, so it was even less of a burden to him. He was a beast by nature.

"I need to clean this blood and change clothes."

A spell could clean his clothes, but Arthur felt like taking a shower in a wild river, feeling the fresh water against his skin, and relaxing after such craziness. But as he was about to leave the once-populated human settlement, Arthur heard footsteps.

It was the three adventurers, and the moment they got close to the village and saw the pile of corpses, they could not hold the urge to throw up!

"What the fuck happened here? What did this?" one of them said.

Vomit came out of their mouths, considering the corpses were fresh. After a while, the scent would get much worse, and who knows how these people would react.

Arthur was hidden, watching all of them from afar, and wondered if he should confront them but decided not to, as that would only lead to conflict, and he felt like chilling after killing that many people.

Arthur left the village, looking for a river nearby to bathe. An easy task to accomplish, and with just a little walking, Arthur found a river. It was the one that the human village often used.

He took off his clothes, putting them back inside his magical pouch. Then, he dived into the river to clean up the blood on his body. The amount of blood was not that high, as his Bloody Devour skill kept absorbing the blood essence of his enemies, so only a tiny amount of blood remained.

"So good!"

The refreshing water was incredible, cleaning Arthur's body of all the dirt and blood and washing away his tiredness. He was taking full advantage of the situation, as the lizardman village only had a swamp near it, and while that worked for the lizards to bathe, it was not exactly something Arthur wanted for his life.

While he was relaxing, the adventurers who found the destroyed village could not decide what to do. They could tell just by looking that the corpses were fresh, and after a quick conversation, they decided to look around the area for the culprit.

Arthur dove into the river, seeing the small fish underwater and the different types of plants growing there. At that moment, the trio of adventurers made their way to the river, and they saw him swimming there.

"Who are you? Say your name and the reason why you are here!"<novelnext> pan(da-n0vel.c)om</novelnext>

The person who said that was a woman with short black hair, leather armor, and a black cloak. Arthur could tell just by looking she was the stealthy type, having two daggers on her waist and probably more hidden somewhere else.

She looked pretty, and so did the other two women with her — a blonde one with heavy armor and sword and shield. And last but not least, a woman wearing a long black robe with a wooden staff.

Two of them had black hair, the mage, and the assassin, while the warrior was blonde. It looked a lot like the party of an RPG.

Arthur looked at them, leaving the water, showing his muscular naked body to them. His pale skin and long black hair made the three women hide their eyes using their hands, and their cheeks turned red.

They never believed they would find a handsome man in that remote place, and the girl almost forgot she had asked Arthur a few things for a split second.

"I am Arthur, a wanderer. I'm staying in the lizardmen tribe not that far from here, but there is no river there, so I come here often to bathe. It is either this or a swamp," Arthur said while he picked traditional cotton clothing and a black cape with a hood, looking like the mage he is.

With his high charm attribute, it was easy to make those weaker than him believe in what he was saying, at least with humans. Beasts were another story — like the Lycan who did not listen to what Arthur said, poor one.

"Are you speaking the truth?"

"Absolutely. You can check with the lizards if you want to," Arthur said.

"Did you hear anything suspicious?"

The river was not that close to the human village, so if Arthur had been there bathing, it would not be possible for him to hear the screams of the villagers. Still, the girls asked anyway, trying to see if he was lying based on his body language.

Of course, that was impossible, as there was no way Arthur would make them suspect him, so he said, "I heard nothing. Is there something wrong?"

After that, the girls explained what happened to him, and Arthur acted like it was the first time seeing this, and he even faked feeling nauseous.

Deep down, Arthur felt bad for acting like that, but there was no denying that he was not who he used to be, and as the years passed, he was getting closer and closer to a beast in human skin. He wanted to feel bad for the villagers who died, but he did not.

"We know where the lizardmen village is. After we bury all the bodies and complete the task, we will go there to check on you."

Arthur did not ask their names, and they were not feeling like telling him that, at least not at that moment. Instead, they parted ways, the three girls returning to the destroyed village while Arthur returned to the lizardman tribe.

Despite his rogue murder, Arthur still killed the Lycans, who were a threat to the lizards and his wives, a good thing.

"I need to study what happened to me. Also, after the alchemy training, I am finally at the level to be able to craft potions that will work for a rank three mage!"

Arthur practiced alchemy while he was on the sea, and because it had been such a long time since his last study, he was way below the average, but with his talent, it was not hard to catch up. Now, he could finally craft potions that would work for rank three mages, and Arthur was hoping to find an elixir capable of cooling his head and curing this frenzy of his.
