Chapter 543 544. Harpalos
Continuing to walk deeper into the cave, Lan En and Cassandra encountered this kind of weird 'human beings'.
Their bodies are stiffly spliced with the limbs of various beasts.
In terms of combat difficulty alone, the trouble these enemies can cause is not as great as the ‘original genuine’ body parts on their bodies.
Without detailed surgical planning and biological knowledge, these limbs were just rigidly spliced to the human body.
Trying to make them play a powerful role is not as effective as praying to the meteor shower.
Lan En’s academic level in the biological field and his academic pride prevent him from admitting that these things are ‘enhanced by biological means’.
They are like the enhanced humans in science fiction novels from ancient times.
The person who did this had no corresponding knowledge and cognition at all. He just picked animal limbs that he thought were powerful and then rigidly connected them to the human body.
Rather than saying that this is a biochemical surgery rich in technology, it is better to say that it is a cruel and ignorant grotesque art born from the worship of primitive power.
The only thing that made Lan En feel wrong was——
This kind of transformation that was forced on based on imagination and without any knowledge or experience was actually done!
Regardless of how long these Ares believers who have been stuffed with a bunch of beast limbs can survive, anyway, their limbs are connected, and they are still usable to a certain extent.
Lan En feels that it is necessary to explore this phenomenon.
A nest of various beasts, or Ares believers who cannot even match the fighting power of beasts, these people will be very troublesome for ordinary warriors.
But the trouble caused to Cassandra and Lann was very limited.
And this is more of a mental disturbance.
It's okay to say that Lan En is a materialist. The lady in the lake is such a conceptual god, he can still chat normally when standing in front of her.
But Cassandra is a native ancient Greek girl.
The strong religious atmosphere and the worldview of the initial period of civilization naturally participated in the shaping of her own thinking.
Cassandra therefore began to pray to Zeus non-stop. Considering that it was very close to Athens, she also prayed many times to Athena.
“Are these monsters escaped from Tartarus? Hades didn’t think much of them?”
In the end, Kassandra even refused to use humans pronouns to refer to them.
"Is the blood really okay?"
She also cautiously asked Lan En again and again if it would be okay if there was blood on her hands.
Lan En's answer to this was also very direct.
In the dark and cold cave, the clear silver light belonging to the Lake Lady's Sword flashed across the blood-stained hoarfrost ground.
With a 'click', a huge bear paw was cut off from the dead Ares believer.
Lane picked up the bear paw with the tip of his knife and raised it in front of Cassandra.
“This brown bear is about five years old.” Lan En said with a smile, “If you want to eat bear paws, that’s no problem.”
"No, I'd rather you give me some bread and pickled olives."
Kassandra said, expressionless as she pressed a finger against the blade of the Lady of the Lake's Sword, and pulled the bear's paw away. Push away.
Dismissing the demon hunter who was still joking, Cassandra turned her head away from looking at the corpses on the ground that she had never seen before.
“We made a lot of noise, but that Harpalos you are talking about, has his ears broken? Or does he not care about his men at all?”
“I think It's the latter possibility." Lan En shook off the bear's paw on the tip of the knife and said in a rational tone after the joke.
"He already showed arrogance on that clue note. People who think they have received divine favor may not regard their mortal subordinates as companions." "And you think the people in these caves Are the bones just the victims they kidnapped? "
The boots with armor plates on the outside crushed a human tibia scattered on the ground with a 'click'.
The broken bones danced on the frozen hard ground, making a series of crisp sounds.
“He must have had victims in the early stages of making these things, and people would die when he went out to capture the beasts used as raw materials. Obviously, Harpalos didn’t care about them.”
"Then let's take a look." Cassandra flicked it, and the sticky plasma and bloody hair on the broken spear were thrown off.
The two of them looked at a cavity in the deepest part of the cave.
Kassandra has a radar-like perception ability, which she calls [Athena's Sight]. Even targets that Icarus has not discovered can be revealed by this sense.
In [Athena's Vision], that cavity is the deepest part of the cave.
And there was a quiet person sitting inside.
Lan En and Cassandra did not try to cover up their steps, but walked directly into the cave cavity.
A superior cold overflows in this cavity. It can even be said that the abnormal temperature of the entire cave comes from here.
The ground and stone walls are no longer covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, but ice!
A few candles and braziers light up the place.
Harpalos knelt down in front of a statue of Ares that was more than five meters high with its base.
I don’t know where they found this statue or how they moved it here.
Nowadays, the tall and majestic statue of Ares is covered with blood, hair, broken bones and other dirty things.
It was as if someone was slaughtering one after another in front of the statue.
Harpalos heard the footsteps behind him, and it seemed that he knew who was coming.
But he still knelt on the ground and muttered a hymn about Ares before standing up and facing Lan En and Cassandra.
This is a bald man. His upper body, chest and face are painted with bone-white paint like most Ares believers.
Wearing simple armor decorated with small human bone parts.
At first glance, he looks no different from any Ares believer.
But at his feet behind him, there was a corpse with the upper body of a wolf and the lower body of a human, which made people feel chilling.
"Deimos's sister, [Falcon Tamer] Kassandra. There are also demigods who appeared from Kefalonia, hello you guys."
Harpalos's eyeballs were bloodshot and stood out like a fish on land.
But unexpectedly, his verbal behavior was quite reasonable.
"I'm glad you know our names, although I never think of myself as a 'demigod'."
Lan En stared at the other person closely and spoke, his high body temperature making him In this environment, when he opened his mouth, it was like a big ball of white mist.
"But I heard that you are a member of a branch called the 'Blood Worshipers' in the Cult of Kosmos. What? Why don't you show it when you meet a noble bloodline? Although I am not, Cassandre La must be of noble blood in your system, right?”
"That's right." Harpalos grinned and admitted happily.
But in action, he remained motionless.
