Chapter 32: I Still Want to Be a Blacksmith
Caitlyn plays a [Charm Human] card.
However, Link counterattacked with a [Mechanical Mind] and grasped it firmly.

"But it was a close call. Fortunately, this can only be considered a first-level spell. It can't work on me who has no brain in the traditional sense."

"However, can I, in my original human state, really resist the spells of these monsters and demons?"

Link was filled with emotion, and a seed of worry was quietly planted.

Only then did Link realize the difference between ordinary vampires and spellcasters. A deep sense of loss swept over him, and also over everyone with low magic resistance.

As for Caitlin, she was even more shocked, or angry.
"Damn it! Then why did I waste so much of the secret-made hallucinogenic pollen?!"

"I changed my mind. You must die here today!"

Caitlin screamed, or rather she was using her anger to cover up her anxiety.

For a long time, she used her "magic eyes" which seemed to be given by creatures from hell.
With the help of the secret method of hallucination that he accidentally found in ancient books over a long period of time, he was able to conquer his subjects without any setbacks.

Although he seemed somewhat powerless in the face of the upper vampires, extremely powerful individuals, and a few extremely determined humans with golden spirits and strong willpower,
Caitlin was able to accept these failures, but now!

A guy who was obviously just an unknown person broke into his territory and wreaked havoc.
Kill my horse!

My men!

I just want to walk away later!

The most important thing is that he even has the ability to not be affected by himself at all!
This was something Caitlyn could not tolerate. In order to nip this guy in the bud and prevent him from growing into a behemoth, she had to eliminate all future troubles and root out the problem!
"Bryant! My strongest follower, come out!"

As Caitlin roared, the magnificent throne in the center of the hall began to make a sound of gears meshing, and the mechanism was in operation.
The throne flipped over, and a huge metal cage was slowly pushed out.
“哐嘡——”

The iron cage was opened from the top, and the metal cage door collided with the ground with a loud sound. A tall figure slowly walked out of the cage.
Link narrowed his eyes and stared straight ahead.
This is a huge, sturdy, humanoid creature that is over 4 meters tall.

The dark skin is covered with a layer of armor plates that shimmer with a metallic luster and resemble snake scales.

Strong and powerful limbs, with knotty muscles distributed throughout the body.
There are two rows of fine bone spurs extending from the elbows to the back, and each spur is covered with barbs.

There is no doubt about it - this is a terrifying creature that is intimidating enough to scare people away.

Caitlin also came to the monster at this moment, with a charming red light flashing in her eyes, she stroked the monster's body with satisfaction.
After all, this was her collaboration with that "company", which consumed 23 experimental individuals with outstanding potential and qualifications, and paid a large amount of money and resources, and finally she was able to create such a powerful artificial gene-adjusted organism.

[Beast Weapon No. 24——Bryant]

It combines the most deadly venomous snake genes in nature with several biological genes with excellent characteristics for fine-tuning.

Although failure is almost inevitable if this kind of complicated genetic modification is carried out in a random manner,
However, based on the multiple vampire individuals provided by Caitlin, the "company" successfully extracted the gene fragments suspected to be from the blood clan.

It was as if they had found the key to unlocking the ultimate mystery of biological genetics.

The re-modulated gene completed the last piece of the puzzle, and the stability began to rise sharply, and the phenomenon of gene collapse was greatly reduced.
A brand new biological weapon was born.

In the laboratory test site, Bryant, in his perfect condition, even showed his terrifying combat power of withstanding bullets and tearing apart armored vehicles with his bare hands.
However, the core issue of "wisdom" has not been resolved, so it cannot actually be called a real "weapon".
No matter how powerful a beast is, if it is out of control and cannot obey orders, it is just a failure!

Fortunately, Caitlin's special ability perfectly solved this problem. Caitlin provided her own blood sample and transformed it into her own blood follower.
Cooperating with the "restraint device" designed by the "company" and implanted into its spinal cord, it reduces the synchronization rate of its multiple genes and stabilizes it at a specific numerical state, making it controllable.

This brutal beast was finally collared and became Catelyn's most powerful "trump card".

It can be seen how determined Caitlin is to eliminate Link.

"Roar--"

Bryant let out an angry roar and ran towards Link.

Link's eyes flashed.
Bryant, who was coming at him aggressively, gave him a suffocating feeling like being entangled by a python.
Facing the sudden charge of the giant, Link stretched out his iron arm to block it.
"boom--"

The metallic snake scales on Bryant's arms collided with Link's alloy armor, making a clanging sound.

The huge kinetic energy bombardment caused Link's body to retreat uncontrollably.

After all, Link's position is more like a ranger or assassin with full agility points.
In a pure contest of strength, it's still a little bit lacking.

The metal soles rubbed against the floor and tore apart, leaving two long deep marks.

"Om-"

Link's mind moved, and the nozzle of the propulsion device behind him expanded again, stacking and deforming layer by layer, with tail flames gushing out and making a loud noise.

Providing a huge thrust, Link's retreating steps slowed down.
Then Link dodged to the side, gaining a brief gap of time.
After hitting the wall hard, Blynet turned his head and stared at Link with his yellow-green eyes full of cruelty and ferocity.

"Hiss-"

A rapid, tiny sound of spitting out air came from its bloody mouth, which was a warning to its equally powerful prey.

Then, Link saw Bryant, who was huge in front of him, suddenly became as agile as a venomous snake.

He quickly closed the distance between him and Link.
Facing the incoming enemy, Link did not retreat tactically.
Instead, we should face the challenges head on and take the initiative.
Caitlin, who was standing aside and looked like a Pokémon trainer, snorted coldly.
"Bryant, who didn't choose to run away, but instead took the initiative to approach me?"

"You are really brave, but that's all!"

Ignoring Caitlin's sarcasm, Link rushed forward.
Swinging a pair of iron fists, he began to strike at high speed, punching back and forth.
"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big"

Bryant, who had the high-speed dynamic vision of the Black Mamba, also reacted and swung his fist to fight Link at high speed.
"Bang bang bang bang-"

The black snake scales collided with the alloy armor at high speed, sparks began to fly, and a dense sound like metal hitting metal was emitted.

Finally, Link and Bryant threw a heavy punch at the same time, and the huge reaction force made both of them retreat several meters before they barely stopped.

Looking at the huge monster in front of him, Link waved his hands helplessly and complained subconsciously.
"I still want to be a blacksmith after all (ε)"
