Chapter 320: Chapter 318: Doom Guardian

"Little rabbit, let Granny pamper you!"

The lycanthrope ferociously pounced towards Bai Xiaomiao. Although it was a male lycanthrope, it had clearly adapted to the role of Granny.

Bai Xiaomiao fiercely kicked at the lycanthrope. Her strongest ability was her jumping power, which could be considered the racial talent of rabbits.

Wen Wen had once suspected that since Lin Lu’s legs were so powerful, her abilities must be related to rabbits.

But her kick only made the lycanthrope take two steps back; its developed muscles could ignore that level of kicking.

Apart from its venomous teeth, all the lycanthrope’s combat abilities came from its powerful body, whether it was hit resistance or attack power, the lycanthrope was top-notch among monsters of the same level.

Seeing that her attack was ineffective, Bai Xiaomiao revealed a look of despair. Just now, to avoid the lycanthrope’s first attack, she had retreated to the door of the house, essentially trapped by the lycanthrope, unable to rely on speed to escape.

As the lycanthrope was about to catch her, she couldn’t worry about that anymore and hurriedly dove into the house and locked the door.

She had only planned to use the door as a simple barrier against the lycanthrope, but to her surprise, the door actually did stop him.

From its furious expression, it seemed it wasn’t afraid of anything inside the house, but simply didn’t want to use its immense strength to destroy it.

The entire town’s buildings were the property of the Royal Family. Should it rashly destroy them, it would face punishment from the terrifying Little Red Riding Hood.

But letting the rabbit go was out of the question—it lay at the door and growled menacingly, "Little rabbit, be good and open the door, quickly open the door; I want to come in!"

Bai Xiaomiao rolled her eyes at the lycanthrope. She wasn’t stupid; she certainly wouldn’t open the door.

"No, I won’t open it, I just won’t! You can’t come in, you bad guy!"

After gaining temporary safety, she asked Wen Wen for help through the chain. Although the door seemed to be stopping the lycanthrope for the moment, he could come in at any time to capture Bai Xiaomiao if he chose to.

But her call for help was met with no response from Wen Wen, who was hesitating at the moment.

He had two choices; the first was to enter Fairy Tale Town through the link formed by the chain with Bai Xiaomiao and easily kill the lycanthrope.

Wen Wen could descend next to the creature he controlled through the chain, which was an ability he had snatched from Wen Li, and which had emerged as a new ability after it combined with the Sanctuary’s power.

However, that would mean entering Fairy Tale Town unprepared, which was too reckless without a clear understanding of the town’s situation or at least an assurance that he could escape.

The second choice was to bring Bai Xiaomiao back to the Sanctuary and then let her re-enter the Exploration. This might waste some time but was the best choice.

Just as the lycanthrope outside was becoming increasingly impatient and preparing to violently destroy the house, Wen Wen suddenly saw a familiar figure through Bai Xiaomiao’s line of sight.

Watching the person’s actions, Wen Wen smiled and said to Bai Xiaomiao through the chain.

"Try to hold on a little longer; it’ll be over soon."

After speaking, Wen Wen teleported directly into Cell Number Three of the Disaster Area, which was the Scavenging Demon’s cell.

The Scavenging Demon still stood there blankly, and without asking for its opinion, Wen Wen directly implanted the chain into its body.

Even though the Scavenging Demon wouldn’t resist, implantation still required some time. If it couldn’t withstand the process, Wen Wen would be forced to pull Bai Xiaomiao into the Sanctuary.

Although Bai Xiaomiao was not very strong, she was still Wen Wen’s possession, and he couldn’t afford to lose her to a crude lycanthrope.

...

After waking up again, Li Dazhuang found himself still lying in the same courtyard. He vigorously thumped his head and seeing the insect corpses all over the ground, he knew it wasn’t all a dream, everything that had happened before was real.

Surrounding him were piles of insect corpses, and the body with a pierced chest had vanished. It seemed that the insects had devoured that body while he was asleep.

However, why was he unharmed?

He clearly remembered, before losing consciousness, he was targeted by a terrifying monster. Why was he now safe and sound?

Just as he was thinking about that monster, Li Dazhuang discovered, to his horror, that something seemed to have emerged behind him. Then a greenish-yellow monster came into view as it rounded his shoulder.

"Hello, Master, nice to meet you... I am your Doom Guardian."

The monster spoke hesitantly, its body a mix of dull yellow and green, which after a while would give anyone a strong sense of revulsion.

"My Doom Guardian... And you’re calling me Master? What’s going on here?" Li Dazhuang was puzzled and didn’t understand the situation.

The Doom Guardian continued, "I am... your strength... you can command me... to fight!"

After some difficult communication, Li Dazhuang finally understood what this Doom Guardian was all about.

Sure enough, like he had fantasized, he had awakened a superpower. However, this superpower was not as he had imagined.

This superpower was like a soldier under his command. It would protect him spontaneously when he did not issue any command and when he did, the Doom Guardian would strictly execute his orders.

The Doom Guardian, or rather Li Dazhuang’s own ability, was to manipulate doom, inflicting a hard-to-wash-off misfortune on enemies through attacks. Although it was not strong in direct combat, the effect it could bring to bear was enormous.

And while bestowing misfortune on others, Li Dazhuang’s own luck would significantly improve.

After becoming a superpower user, Li Dazhuang also recalled the memories that had been erased by the Memory Eraser.

From birth, his luck had been extremely bad, often encountering various horrors, yet in the end, he always escaped unharmed.

The most terrifying parts of these memories were erased by the Hunters Association with the Memory Eraser, which was why he could live a normal life before.

Before awakening, both good fortune and misfortune were upon him, which was why he encountered such bizarre incidents.

After his awakening, the misfortune part separated, creating a Doom Guardian. From that moment on, he would indeed have a bit more luck.

Now understanding his abilities, Li Dazhuang, disgruntled, looked at his shabby leather outfit. The outfit was ugly and cumbersome; he really didn’t want to wear it.

But now it was all he had for clothes, with nothing beneath, so it had to suffice.

Having regained his memories, he naturally thought of Jiao Xinlei, who had initially tried to warn him but was ultimately caught and brought back, as well as Tao Wen, who had fallen with him into Fairy Tale Town.

"Tao Wen faced danger many times before, all because of me. So, this time, I must take him out!"
