However, could this giant lizard girl, Claire, really still be called a ‘human’?

Sizing her up carefully, Gray looked at her from head to toe.

Her limbs were just like humans in the past. They were still hands and feet.

The only difference was those dense, black and green scales, one would see them from other parts of her body from time to time.

Compared to before, her teeth were sharper and more pointed, especially those two canine teeth, which were protruding.

Her body had also become slightly thinner.

She had lost her original sense of beauty, and the muscles on her body had become firmer.

Vaguely, Gray could even see Claire’s chest and abdominal muscles.

.

However, these were not the most important things. Right now, her eyes were listless and unfocused, and her pupils had lost their luster. It was as if she had lost her soul. When she walked, she was like the distracted zombies in the movies, not knowing where she was going.

“Oh? interesting. It seems that my assumption was right. It seems that you have also obtained this magical power in the past half a month. How are you feeling?”

The spiritual frequency vibrated continuously, and Gray greeted Claire in his mind.

“I’m fine…”

Her lips, which had become dry and flat due to dehydration, squirmed, but she did not manage to say anything in the end.

She slowly raised her right hand and opened her fingers. Her fingernails were actually slowly lengthening and extending, finally forming a sharp claw with a metallic texture.

“Tsk tsk, interesting. Could it be… ?”

Gray smacked his lips in disdain. He was also particularly interested in the young girl’s actions. If it was really as he had guessed, then it would be even more interesting.

“Move your hand, move quickly! Hurry up and prove your strength. Don’t you want to avenge yourself and Professor Carl? Hurry up and do it. Let me see your true strength after you have mutated. Maybe you can use this new power to kill me?”

To the golden-haired girl, the steel lizard’s words were like Satan’s enticement to Lucifer. The conditions it offered were so tempting and fatal.

Looking at the golden-haired ‘girl’ who didn’t dare to make a move, Gray used his spirit to attack the girl’s brain repeatedly. This caused the girl’s already overloaded spirit to feel more pressure.

Finally, the girl in front of him seemed to have a string snapped in her brain. She accelerated on the spot and rushed towards him from afar. That was not a speed that a human could have.

In a few seconds, a human and a lizard had met. A few centimeters of sharp metal claws also shot out and slashed at Gray’s head.

“You b*stard, give me…”

Before the blonde girl could finish her words, a loud rumble was heard. The ground shook violently, and amidst a burst of smoke, a human-shaped object was seen smashing heavily onto the ground.

At this moment, looking towards the source of the sound, an extremely shocking scene happened. The head of this young girl, who was charging towards Gray aggressively, was actually pressed deeply into the ground by Gray’s palm.

It was pressed in, not slapped.

If it was a slap, how could her cute and delicate little head withstand a casual blow from a Level 6 mutated beast? It was likely that she would have already been split into pieces like a watermelon.

However, even with the slightest pressure, Claire’s appearance wasn’t too good. It could even be described as miserable.

Dark green blood splattered everywhere. Her entire head was buried deep into the earth.

Before she could recover from this, she felt that her entire body was tightly bound.

“Rumble…”

Following another loud rumble, her entire body flew out.

And the culprit that caused all these was surprisingly Gray’s ferocious and huge iron tail.

…

He slowly raised his eyes and looked at the figure flying over 10 meters away. The corners of Gray’s mouth curled up slightly.

“Remember, this is just a small warning. You are welcome to take revenge anytime, if you can do it, of course. You may not be so lucky next time. Perhaps your life will also fall into my hands.”

The spiritual waves continued to emit vibrations. Gray lifted his feet and looked at the distant island’s boundary as he walked. He was prepared to leave this godforsaken place.

As for the pitiful blonde girl, she naturally flew out and fiercely smashed onto the ground, creating a circle of dust. It was such a magnificent sight.

However, fortunately, she was a Level 2 mutated creature. Her physique was different from the human body in the past. Although this injury was still considered heavy to her, it was far from fatal. Relying on her own body to repair it to the extreme was not a problem.

And now, the young girl heard this and slowly got up from the ground. Her gaze was fixed on Gray’s back as he left.

“Do you want to stay here and be divided up by those mutated beasts?”

Another voice full of playfulness shook Claire’s soul.

Other than taking revenge, her biggest motivation and obsession now was to live on. Living on was more important than anything else. Otherwise, the beautiful Claire would not have turned into this neither human nor ghost appearance.

She wanted to live on and see her family again, even if it was just once.

Then, she straightened her broken body, hunched her back, and limped behind Gray.

…

She still retained her human nature after all.

Even though she had gone through mutation and evolution, because of the short period of time, no matter how strong her body was, her spirit was still stuck at the human stage.

In this approximate half a month, on this island that was like hell on earth, she had already mentally broken down.

Being a beautiful girl who was usually pampered, on this island that was like hell, she did not even have a single bite of cooked food.

There was only the rotten animal corpses. However, for the sake of the few thoughts in her heart, she had to endure the extreme rejection brought about by her physiological reaction. She had to endure the nausea and eat the rotten corpse piece by piece.

Not only that, she also had to engage in a life and death battle with the mutated beasts that came to snatch her food.

Fortunately, Gray had left his own scent mark on her body.

As a result, the slightly stronger mutated beasts did not dare to approach Claire.

Otherwise, this delicate and pretty girl would have long turned into a skeleton in the grave.

After repeating this over and over again every day, it was understood why Claire’s mental state was so abnormal.

It could even be said that Gray was one of the few obsessions she lived on.

And now, she had used up the last bit of her courage to fight back without caring about her own safety. However, in front of Gray’s powerful strength, she was so weak.

In a real sense, it had destroyed her will to live.

The current Claire was a real walking corpse. To her, she would rather die than live.

…

After realizing that there was something wrong with Claire, which Gray might have thought of, he didn’t kill her. Instead, he used his spiritual power to call her to follow him.

This way, he used his spiritual power again and again. Gray thought that if he couldn’t even control a woman whose spirit was on the verge of collapse, then the legendary spiritual power in his previous life was over exaggerated.

After all, in his previous life, he had heard of a supernatural power called hypnosis.
