The creature that suddenly appeared in front of Xiaoqiao, resembling a monster from hell, undoubtedly transformed through the power of the seed of the heart.
I hadn't noticed his approach in advance, but that wasn't because of his stealth skills, but because he hadn't emitted any clear malice. I could easily discern the mana he possessed, stronger than a grotesque like Agent Kong, yet weaker than the monster creator. Having met so few achieved level demon hunters, and with Residence Level and achieved level seeming similar to me, I couldn't tell if he was Residence Level or achieved level.
If I hadn't intentionally differentiated, I wouldn't have recognized any difference between him and the ordinary passersby. Using me as a reference, they all seemed insignificant. This was one reason why this grotesque could blend into the crowd and approach so closely.
