Chapter 166: Wildfire (3)
At the very least, Hwayang’s matured form was insanely cute.
A plump, steamed bun-shaped body dyed a bright orange, with stubby, deep purple limbs that looked as if they were dipped in ink.
Shortened front and hind legs, dazed, enlightened-looking eyes, and a back covered in rocky protrusions resembling flowing magma—this was Hwayang in his final form.
He’s adorable, but... I probably shouldn’t expect too much from him, huh?
Judging by his appearance, I had a strong feeling that he wasn’t in the same league as the Ten Great Venomous Beasts or the Twenty-Four Venomous Monstrosities.
It was obvious just by looking at him—he lacked the overwhelming presence the others had.
No, rather than lacking presence... he felt comically insignificant.
Take Cho, for example—six meters long, capable of flight, and secreting a protein-dissolving acid venom stronger than hydrochloric acid.
Or Yo-hwa, with her lightweight but ultra-durable body, razor-sharp steel silk, hallucinogenic illusions, and paralyzing venom.
Even Moji and Soji, who were still larvae, had a deadly combination of healing and debuffing abilities.
And Gwaemyung Black Wasp? A wasp-based monster with a tanky physique and soundwave attacks.
Yet Hwayang?
