Chapter 224 - 223. Dropping the mortal disguise
Asher’s throat constricted in panic, watching the lifeless body of Tama before him.
She can’t die like this! Not after betraying her! Not after atoning for her betrayal!
"Hah!!" Hades cackled with a sneer. "She’s dead, brat! And you’re next!!"
With a snap of his fingers, more zombie-like members of the Blackcat Clan emerged from the room behind him, their movements slow and jerky. As they stepped outside, their bones cracked grotesquely as they transformed into tiger zombie beasts, reeking of rot with hollow eyes. Asher immediately realized that these were the actual corpses of the Blackcat Clan. They hadn’t just been killed and buried. They’d been turned into monsters.
But he had no time to deal with this shit!!
"Rex!!" he called out firmly through telekinesis to his hellhound. "I need you here! NOW!!"
Within seconds, a massive shadow unfurled behind him as Rex emerged from Asher’s shadow, instantly assessing the threat before his master.
"Tear that bloated toad apart. Don’t let anything touch me while I’m working."
Rex grinned, teeth jagged as broken swords. "Yes, Master."
The ground trembled as he dropped his mortal disguise. His bones shifted, popping loudly as his form grew larger, darker, unstoppable. The transformation was thunderous, his body bulking with demonic muscle, rising to a monstrous 8’7. His fur gleamed black under the blood-red sun, every strand bristling with fury. It had been a long time since he had taken his true form. Maintaining a normal dog form had been exhausting. Now that he had gotten permission to transform, he was ready to go all out. Too bad there weren’t a lot of enemies to tear apart.
Hades paled and shrieked at the sight of Rex. He stumbled backward in horror, eyes wide.
