Blood Assimilation

The female bartender said, and then pointed at Incarnation Randy standing next to her before explaining the situation: “This esteemed gentleman here is a friend of Sir Holy Knights, and he came here specifically to meet them. Can you help me inform them of his arrival? His name is—”

“Why would we do something like—”

The two charming girls cut her off and attempted to refute her request. That was because one of their policies explicitly stated that they shouldn’t allow random strangers to meet with their customers under any circumstances. This was a policy created in order to prevent accidents and crimes from occurring in their establishment. Therefore, she immediately doubted her co-worker’s words.

However—

“Actually…”

Incarnation Randy immediately interjected, and then gently stated: “They are not aware that I’m here to visit them. As I said before, I found out that they were here by chance. Because of that, I think it’d be better for us if I told them myself, wouldn’t you agree?”

The other girl looked at Incarnation Randy and asked: “And who are you again? You don’t look like a knight, so why do you want to meet the Holy Knights of the Church of Light?”

Incarnation Randy snickered and nodded in confirmation: “Sorry to disappoint you, but like you said, I’m actually not a knight. However, with your line of work, you don’t really need to know who I am, do you?”

.....

“Why you—”

The two girls were immediately furious when they heard the mockery in his words, and they wanted to say something to him.

However—

“Now then…”

Once again, Incarnation Randy immediately cut them off and continued: “Would you kindly step aside for me? I don’t have any business with you ladies. By the way, I am not asking for a compromise, but demanding that you move while I’m asking politely.”

The two girls were further enraged by his arrogant words and immediately shouted: “Who do you think you are to—”

“Tsk! So annoying. I still have places to visit, so please don’t waste my time here.”

Incarnation Randy indifferently and coldly spoke as a glint of cold light flashed through his eyes. The next moment, an imposingly wild and savage aura, resembling an untamed beast wreaking havoc, was unleashed from his body without mana as driving support due to his inability to use it as a result of his imperfection during his creation.

Despite that, the air around his body made him appear as if he was some predator eyeing his prey before pouncing on them. His fierce and domineering look frightened the two young women, causing them to take an apprehensive jump backward.

The young woman holding the door unconsciously let go of the doorknob. Then, as she took a step backward, she bumped into the other young woman, and she fell on her butt along with the other young woman behind her. The moment they fell on the floor, Incarnation Randy immediately undid his imposing aura, causing them to breathe out in relief, but then they looked at Incarnation Randy with fear visible in their eyes.

As the two young women fell to the floor, Incarnation Randy turned to the female bartender next to him and apologized with a warm smile.

“I apologize for my behavior, Miss. Once again, thank you for your help. I will take it from here.”

“O-Okay.”

The female bartender stuttered as she blankly replied to him with a dumbfounded expression. She still hasn’t recovered from the influence of his domineering aura despite him already undoing it.

Meanwhile, with a calm demeanor, Incarnation Randy turned to briefly look at the two cowering girls who had tactfully vacated the room. Afterward, he looked away from them. A moment later, he casually pushed the door open and stepped inside the room under the shocked gaze of the female bartender and the two young women, who sat on the floor outside the room.

After he left the scene, the whole entrance became silent. No one bothered to say anything to each other other than wondering about the identity of the terrifying young man that just left.

Despite knowing that the terrifying young man was Dungeon Hunter, the female bartender wondered if she had unintentionally allowed a criminal inside their establishment. However, she was also afraid that if she did anything careless by reporting him, she may suffer terrible consequences.

Thinking of that possibility, she continued to stand there without attempting to stop Incarnation Randy despite how suspicious he seemed. Seeing the way he confronted the two service girls at their establishment strengthened her decision.

Having made her choice, she silently watched the back of Incarnation Randy enter the room with fear hidden in her eyes, especially after feeling the terrifying aura he emitted. According to her experience, his aura felt more like that of a fierce magical beast than a strong human.

…

Meanwhile.

The two armored men just noticed something was abnormal when the two service girls didn’t come back after they left to greet someone at the door. They were behind a curtain, a specially enchanted blind that prevented others from peering inside or outside, so they couldn’t see what was happening at the entrance.

By utilizing mana-filled magic crystals, the enchanted blind could even block people from entering the room behind it as long as the guest demanded it. Naturally, the guest would have to pay for the energy supply for that feature to be active. And there was also a time limit.

That aside, the two of them deliberated whether to check out what was happening at the entrance or not. At this time, the blind was slowly pushed aside and Incarnation Randy’s figure was revealed before them. The moment he took a step into the service room behind it, the two armored men saw him and realized that something had happened.

Fortunately for Incarnation Randy, the two girls had already left the enchanted blind open as they thought they would be returning to the room. Unfortunately, that did not happen, and so he managed to avoid having to break the barrier to enter the room forcefully.

Of course, it was more unfortunate for the two Holy Knights who resided in the room behind the blind as they didn’t know what was about to transpire.

“Who are you?! What are you doing here?! No, how did you get in here without being blocked?!”

“What are those bartenders doing out there?! And where did the service girls go?!”

The two armored men pulled out their weapons trepidatiously when they saw the stranger walk into their reserved room with no qualms whatsoever. It was as though they were taking a casual stroll in a park.

“Please calm down, honorable Holy Knights. I bear no ill will. I came here to discuss an exchange. Do you care to listen to me for a minute? I guarantee it will be worth your while.”

Incarnation Randy slowed his step as he spoke to quell their anger. In the meantime, he also wanted to cajole the two armored men with his words and actions. After all, they appeared to be extremely agitated upon seeing an unfamiliar face in their supposedly private service room.

With the current situation, they would be justified to retaliate by attacking him in self-defense for breaking and entering.

On the other hand, even though Incarnation Randy wanted to quell their anger, his body was still moving forward as he sauntered toward the two armored men.

Bang!

“Do you think we’re some pushovers?! We’re Holy Knights, for god’s sake! Since when did we engage in exchanges with civilians?! To hell with your exchange! We don’t need it, so scram before I cut you down where you stand for rudely barging in here!”

The shield-wielding armored man slammed the table and barked with a flushed expression. Apparently, he was drunk from having a few drinks.

The sharp-eyed armored man, on the other hand, appeared to be sober.

He calmly observed the suspicious young man leisurely approaching them and said apprehensively: “Stop right there! Even if you have something to exchange, do you think it will entice us, Holy Knights of the Church of Light?”

Incarnation Randy didn’t seem perturbed by the turmoil caused by her presence, as the current turn of events aligned with his plans. He had purposely decided to wait for the two armored men to get themselves drunk before choosing to appear in the pub for a reason.

The first reason was that they would become prone to violence when stimulated by unexpected events, making them careless or clumsy, effectively losing most of their combat prowess. This would allow him to easily take them down without breaking a sweat.

The second reason was that, as a result of their intoxicated state, most of the biological and mental restraints placed on themselves would be loosened. As a result, they would be prone to reveal everything they know without thinking too deeply, especially when asked questions that irritate or stir up their emotions.

Every detail of the present situation with the two armored men, including their reactions, has been meticulously organized by Incarnation Randy. He even inquired about how the pub worked, such as their services and any manners to follow while inside.

Only after gathering ample information did he decide to enter the establishment to meet the two armored men.

Unlike how goofy and absentminded the Incarnation Randy acted when he was first created, he seemed to have become calm and shrewd in his ways of handling things.
