Blood Assimilation - Chapter 284

284 Unexpected Event, Annoying Encounteandy immediately scowled in displeasure when he heard her authoritative words of ultimatum.

‘Which means, either way, I will still die? In that case, what choice is there to be made?’

Her so-called ultimatum was nothing but a death sentence with no way for him to survive. If that was the case, he might as well fight her to death. He could also escape rather than fight her. With that in mind, his mind quickly turned. He actively devised various strategic ways to escape without confronting her.

While he was thinking of ways to escape his predicament, another unexpected event occurred at this time.

Suddenly, the mysterious young woman’s expression changed drastically, and she became visibly exasperated and shouted: “Persistent bastard! I’ll make you pay next time for today’s humiliation!”

She then turned to face Randy, who was confusedly and vigilantly staring at her with his hand over his painfully pulsating chest, and said: “Abominable creature, you’re very lucky today! I don’t have time to deal with you, so I’ll spare your life for now, but the next time we meet will be your doom!”

Randy wasn’t sure whether she was speaking to him or someone else as her voice was unusually loud when she spoke. Regardless, the next scene left him gasping in shock.

Randy watched as the mysterious young woman’s body got consumed by a mass of gray smog that manifested out of her body. Afterward, her body quickly disintegrated and abruptly crumbled into dust before being swept away by the blowing wind. In the dead silent alley, only a mass of gray smog remained floating. Afterward, the mass of gray smog shot up into the sky and disappeared without leaving any trace behind.

At the place where she once stood, not even her bones remained!

…..

Randy was not only shocked by her power, he was also bewildered by the scene he witnessed.

‘What the hell just happened…?’

He wondered to himself as he recalled the scene before the young woman destroyed her own body. She suddenly looked angry and then exclaimed out of nowhere, seemingly shouting expletives at someone, but there was no one else there besides him.

As he recalled the horrendous scene and the words of that mysterious young woman moments ago, he felt an indelible fear in his heart. Then, an unusual thought came to him.

‘So that wasn’t her real body?’

Trembling, he thought to himself afterward in trepidation.

‘If that wasn’t her real body, then how strong would her true body have to be for her body substitute to be this terrifying?”

Randy’s face turned visibly horrified as looming fear enveloped his entire being for the first time. He decided to change his plans right away. He couldn’t afford to walk carelessly on the streets anymore. Otherwise, he would lose his life without even knowing why.

He needed to be more prudent and realize that this was a different world and there were possibly many unaccountable things or creatures that could easily threaten his life.

Earlier, he was complacent about just defeating a few Gladiators in the Coliseum. However, his encounter with that mysterious young woman made him realize that he was just plain na?ve. He thought he had gotten strong enough to contend with this world’s top powerhouses.

This enemy was terrifyingly strong, and not in the physical sense, but in the power sense. From their exchange, which lasted for about a few seconds, not even reaching a minute, he could tell that the mysterious young woman was many times stronger than him.

He wanted to use his assimilated state during combat many times but couldn’t due to how fast the mysterious young woman moved. He knew that he would be seen through and risked getting killed before activating a complete assimilated state.

Moments later, Randy cleared his muddled thoughts and decided to vacate his current location. He couldn’t afford to stay there any longer, lest someone come to inquire about the tremors and shockwaves caused by his exchange with that mysterious young woman.

Just when he was about to furtively take his leave to avoid notice, from the right side of the crossroads, three figures slowly approached his direction. Randy had to stop once again at the intersection and observe the other parties to see if they were also dangerous people.

He narrowed his eyes and at the same time brazenly used his Dimensional Sense skill to observe them. However, the three people reacted with unpleasant frowns on their faces.

Although Randy noticed their unsightly reactions when they sensed his probing, he couldn’t care less about their reactions.

After observing them for a moment, he recognized one of them— the one in front, and also in the middle of the group of three, who seemed to be protected by the other two. It was an elegantly dressed maiden, whose appearance was devastatingly breathtaking, and her every gesture showcased elegance and grace. She also exuded the aura of a high-born or someone from an aristocratic family.

Very soon, they appeared in front of Randy who was waiting for them, as for some reason, he knew that they were there for him. There was also the strange smile displayed by the maiden the moment she saw him looking their way.

Sure enough, as soon as they appeared in front of him, the maiden elegantly curtsied and spoke politely in a clear and soothing voice.

“Very pleased to make your acquaintance, sir Gladiator. This Crown Princess would like to

Randy felt impatient the moment he heard the term ‘Crown Princess’ coming out of her mouth.

“I don’t care who you are. Please get out of my way if there’s nothing important to discuss. I have something to do, so please don’t waste my time.”

To begin with, he did not want to get involved in this world. Even more so, he didn’t want to get entangled with a princess of the human nation, regardless of her intentions.

Right after he spoke, Randy noticed from his tone of voice that he was being too rude to her. No matter what, she was still a princess of a nation, and he was supposed to be a commoner by the order of things. He had simply been on edge due to his near death. At the same time, he didn’t want to bother with other miscellaneous things that would risk his barely salvaged life any further.

No matter what his reasons were, his brazen and rash decision to dismiss a member of the Royal Family before they could finish their sentence was truly uncalled-for. Thus, he calmed down, took a deep breath, and then let out a regrettable sigh.

Afterward, he apologetically corrected himself by saying: “I’m truly sorry about that. I don’t mean to sound rude, but I just can’t entertain anyone right now. I truly apologize if I offend your Highness with my crass words just now. But I meant what I said about having something important to attend to. So maybe next time, your esteemed Highness.”

He didn’t wait for her response, nor did he care. He already conveyed his thoughts with those eloquent words. As such, he turned around to leave without delay. He wanted to go back to the Coliseum to inform Gutz about his change of plans. However, before he could take one step forward, he was suddenly blocked by the two guards following the Crown Princess.

“You impudent peasant! How dare you ignore the Crown Princess’s invitation! Not only did you rudely interrupt her Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, when she kindly spoke to a commoner like you, but you also walked away wantonly without showing any due respect! Who do you think you are?! Do you have a death wish?!”

One of the guards spoke coldly as he exuded an oppressive aura of dominance that covered Randy’s whole body, intending to suppress and restrict his movement.
