The main target had been lost.
Abe immediately stopped the attack and, using the strength of his calves, returned to his group.
At the same time, he drank a bottle of Holy Water and the deep lines around his eyes faded a bit.
Rumble! The ground of the barbershop started to tremble slightly.
“Something is coming… probably from the middle.”
Exactly from the position where barber Charlie was standing.
The stone slab that formed the ground started to shift, slowly opening to reveal a hole about three meters in diameter.
Rumble…
A circular elevator from the depths was slowly rising, bearing a gigantic creature.
“Black Hair Creature”
Charlie, the private barber of the Great Lord, was an extremist in his life. He liked to stitch hair into other people’s bodies and enjoyed conducting various cruel experiments related to hair.
In his view, hair was alive, and could be cultivated like a plant.
With the arrival of the Dark Age, he finally realized his ‘Black Hair Cultivation,’ thus becoming one of the key members of the family.
A ‘Black Hair Creature’ stitched together with black hair, standing four meters tall, appeared before everyone.
This monster had four heads taken from different people,
Obvious traces of black hair stitching at the neck,
And from each head’s mouth, hung about half a meter of dense black hair.
Four specially modified arms,
All joints were stitched with black hair. For example, the elbow connecting the forearm and upper arm was completely removed and replaced with black hair, increasing the length, flexibility, and variability of the arms.
Each strand of hair seemed to have a weak life force, slightly swaying in the air.
To kill the ‘Black Hair Creature’, one must find its Evil Heart within its body and destroy it.
The Little Demon Eye can see this directly.
Through the skin and the moving black hair, it found that there were four hearts in different parts of the body, all tightly wrapped by dense black hair.
“The four hearts are located two meters below the left chest, three meters above the right chest, six centimeters below the abdomen, and one heart is stuck to the back through the mucous membrane and black hair… Be careful.
The density of black hair in the target’s body is terrifying. Handle it carefully.”
“Okay!”
Han Dong seemed not to take part in this battle, continuing: “This creature is your fight. I will find the way to the next level, that is, the barber’s nest, in a short time.
If we want to finish the mission and leave here, we must eliminate the barber.”
“Alright…”
After finishing the communication with Abe,
Han Dong looked at Mia, who was at the end of the team and seemed not to be eager to join the fight.
“Always prepare the ‘Tranquilizing Potion’ for everyone, no slacking!”
“Got it.”
Mia, who was pointed out, stuck out her tongue.
It seemed that she didn’t want to fight at all and intentionally wanted to preserve her strength.
Be careful!!
This is not some anime or drama, the enemy won’t wait for you to discuss tactics slowly.
The Black Hair Creature locked onto the whole team as soon as it appeared.
Because its joints were connected by black hair,
The arms of the Black Hair Creature could stretch to any length.
With a full swing of one arm, a slap was swung towards the nearest person… which happened to be Abe, who’d just retreated back to the team.
During the process of swinging, layers of black hair wrapped around the palm, making it harder than steel and powerful enough to smash a huge hole in a wall.
Slap!!
The sound echoed in the barbershop.
It seemed as if Abe was directly hit.
But the situation was different from what was thought.
Abe’s aura changed in an instant, he counterattacked the incoming black hair arm with a ‘clap’.
The Black Hair Creature’s arm was hit by a tremendous force, causing it to spin around more than ten times in a row, tangling all the black hair together, and rendering the arm incapable of moving normally.
The aura changed!
Han Dong glanced at the current Abe Rhein.
His spiky white hair hung behind his ears.
His physical stature had strengthened by about 20%, the white aura attached to his body’s surface formed a massive bear-like image behind him.
“Is Abe… this powerful!?”
It was beyond Han Dong’s imagination.
Abe, who had invoked the Giant Bear Protection, experienced a surge in power.
He showed no fear against this terrifying Black Hair Creature… On the contrary, he continued to stride heavily like a giant bear, charging directly towards his target.
In the meantime.
The Black Hair Creature stared at the advancing Abe, continuously shooting out large amounts of black hair spikes from its mouth and between its fingers.
However, Abe did not show any signs of stopping or defending, completely ignoring these piercing black hairs.
Ding~ Ding~ Ding!
Just as the black hair was about to pierce into Abe’s body… sharp collision sounds echoed continuously.
All the black hair were blocked by an invisible barrier of air.
“Barriers in Air”
The caster was none other than the little magician, Dumps.
The level of mutual understanding between the two geniuses had reached over 80%, and they could completely trust each other.
Abe successfully made it to the front of the target with the power of the Giant Bear, confronting the Black Hair Creature directly.
As for Dumps, he turned to a certain page of his Demon Book and used it as a medium to cast the spell, forming a “Fire Spear” in the air for a long-range attack.
As mentioned before, Mia’s witchcraft requires a carrier.
The magic that doesn’t rely on ‘carriers’ usually forms spherical objects, like Fireball Technique. (Just like how pure water forms a perfect sphere in zero gravity)
The Fire Spear cast by Dumps added a “Shaping” process to the basic magic, making the penetration of the magic even stronger.
Seeing this, Han Dong stopped worrying.
He blocked out the distractions of battle and concentrated fully on searching the barbershop.
The “Little Demon Eye” was exceptionally useful.
In the special visual field, Han Dong quickly found an anomaly.
In a head display cabinet at the edge of the Barber Shop, there was a secret sliding stone compartment.
“Mia!”
“Ah…what’s up?”
Mia, who was about to go help in the battle, was stopped by Han Dong again.
“The stone behind this display cabinet should be pushable … I can’t climb walls, so it’s up to you.”
“Alright.”
Mia didn’t alter her form in any way, she was able to climb up the wall with just her palms touching it.
Sure enough.
The stone was easily pushed and some kind of mechanism was triggered.
At the base of the wall directly opposite, an emergency elevator opened by itself, leading directly to the secret room of Charlie, the barber.
“Mia, follow me!”
However, Mia, who was climbing the wall, shook her head constantly, seemingly she had foreseen the danger below and was unwilling to go down.
“If you don’t follow me… don’t follow me around anymore.”
“You… are threatening me again!”
A shadow climbed down, just in time for the closing doors of the lift, Mia crawled in.
Abe hadn’t even used his full strength yet, he resists the contamination with the help of Peaceful Pendant and herbs. Han Dong left the fight upstairs to him and Dumps completely.
As for himself, he intended to see this executive member of the Stuart Family.
After all, some of Han Dong’s abilities are not suitable for use in front of the squad except in critical times.
The elevator descended, and the secret door closed by itself.
