Ah.

The moment I put Jasons head into my mouth, I realized I had made a grave mistake. The crimson fluid of life flowing into my mouth was astonishingly addictive. It was enough to make me forget the pain of the hole in my throat.

Jasons blood was akin to maple syrup but far more flavorful. His flesh would undoubtedly be as enticing as I could imagine.

If theres a problem, its that all I have now is the bastards head. The torso beneath the neck has vanished into the blue.

I guess I should consider it lucky to have salvaged the head.

Thanks to the jaw effect of the Essence Harvester, I can obtain the genetic essence of my opponent through just the head.

I exerted force on my jaw and bit into Jasons head.

Flesh, muscle, blood, bone, brain, and even the remaining horn. Every element constituting a cults head was absorbed by me.

Then, translucent text boxes appeared before my eyes in succession.

[Predation effect triggered! Successful plunder of Jason (Jason Turningham) special bonus!]

[There are no compatible traits among the ones you currently possess. They will be transferred to the voucher storage facility.]

[Predation effect triggered! Successful plunder of Jason (Jason Turningham) special bonus!]

[The possessed traits Cosmic Bacteria and Flames of Hallucination are mergeable. Please select a trait. The selection outcome will be influenced by the traits used as materials.]

[Addendum: You stand at a crucial crossroad. Please choose carefully.]

[Time remaining until trait selection: 24:00:00]

[You are the target of the trait enhancement system. Would you like to use the system?]

[Predation effect triggered! Successful plunder of Jason (Jason Turningham) special bonus!]

[There are no compatible traits among the ones you currently possess. They will be transferred to the voucher storage facility.]

Why are there so many?

I thought it would be similar to when I encountered Muriel, but there were more text boxes displayed than I expected.

Are these bonuses obtained by plundering other players?

It seems the guy had a total of three bonuses. Two of them are currently unusable due to certain conditions, and only one can be combined with my traits for use.

Well, back with the irregular dodecahedron of the looter, I used metal absorption as material.

I immediately checked the mergeable bonuses.

Its written that one of the infection-related traits, Cosmic Bacteria, and one of the psychic-related traits, Flames of Hallucination, can be used to merge bonuses.

These two traits are completely different in nature. Depending on which one I choose to use, the results will be entirely different.

Moreover, for reasons unknown, theyve given me a full 24 hours to make the choice.

This is unprecedented.

Its an unusual situation, but its unsettling. There must be no reason for them to give me such benefits for no apparent reason.

At a crucial crossroad

Theres still 24 hours left, so theres no need to make a decision right away. There are other things that need to be done first.

The high-quality energy obtained from consuming Jasons head has been used to heal all the wounds in my throat. As the penetrating injuries inside begin to heal, the gushing blood also stops.New n0vel chapters are published on

With the lethal wounds healed, the Revenant mechanism has also completed its mission and returned to a dormant state. The tiny mechanism attached to the heart will fall into a long slumber for the next six months.

So, it might be difficult to use the Revenant mechanism when fighting the Black Gallagorn.

Theres no chance of winning in this condition.

With the rampage I caused underground, along with the activation of my Brain Shroud, I dont know when the Gallagons will strike.

Not only me, but everyone here is not in normal condition. Number 26 has suffered significant injuries, Adhais legs and wings are both broken, and PS-111 is in such bad shape that finding an intact part is difficult.

Fortunately, the Mother of the Sky only suffered a broken beak, so shes relatively unscathed.

She approached me.

We need to get out of here quickly.

She, too, was aware that this situation was far from ideal.

[ZZZZ ZZ ZZZZ ZZZ (lets go to the mountains.)]

Will it be safe for the children if we leave like this?

As she said, the mountains werent safe, but there was no other choice. The underground space beneath where we stood had completely collapsed.

Even if we were lucky enough to find an area that hadnt collapsed, there was a high chance wed run into the Gallagons who came here.

And theres also the problem of food supply.

The last card I played to kill Jason was a collaboration between Clever Weakling and Symbol of Hunt. It was a decision made thinking it would be useful in killing the enemy, but there was another reason.

Clever Weakling specializes in agility, stealth, and special states. It also has the effect of efficiently distributing consumed energy, minimizing the side effects of the Symbol of the Hunt.

Theres a low chance the kids will find out about this like before.

Right now, its the kids who are worrying more than me.

To heal the seriously injured ones, there are only two ways: feeding them or laying a nest and attaching the Symbiotic Fungal Pods.

The body was covered with wounds, but there was no smell of blood. Someone had clearly sucked up every drop of blood from the body.

I dont know what happened, but.

We need that Gallagons body right away to replenish energy.

[No decision authority for the intermediate terminal has been confirmed. Autonomous judgment required.]

[Energy replenishment complete. Biological characteristics of the Gallagon applied.]

[Initiating target suppression.]

With that, the screamers rushed towards me at incredible speed. It looked similar to when Adhai used super acceleration.

One of the screamers, covering the air, swung spider-like metal legs towards me.

In my state as Clever Weakling, I used my four legs to push off the ground and dodged aside.

I swung my tail towards the narrowly passing guys rear. The pincers at the end of my tail precisely struck the back of his head.

Crunch!

The screamer, emitting a grotesque groan, crashed to the ground. Meanwhile, another screamer had already approached right in front of me.

Two front legs with sharp claws flew towards my head. I grabbed the screamers two legs with my combat arms.

The body of the screamer, whose front legs were caught, twisted grotesquely, and then the legs behind aimed for my side. With a total of eight legs, it was a possible attack method.

Then Ill do the same to this side.

When the Symbol of hunt is activated, I have more arms and legs than normal. I swung the arms with bone sickles attached on my back in a cross motion.

Following the eerie sound, the body of the one trying to stab me lost its strength. I cleanly threw the decapitated screamers corpse into the air.

A screamer, perched on a tree, observing for an opportunity to attack, hastily jumped down upon seeing its comrade flying towards itself.

I dashed towards the point where it was going to land. The creature twisted its body in mid-air to dodge my attack.

Where!

The human-faced ones on top of my carapace opened their mouths wide, emitting powerful sound waves towards the creature. Struck by the intangible waves inducing paralysis, the creatures body stiffened.

And the six horns on my head pierced through the screamers body.

[B-burn, f-freeze.]

Before the creature could self-destruct, I grabbed its head with my combat arms. With a strong pull, I tore it off.

[B-b-burn.]

With its spine pulled out completely, the creature couldnt hold on any longer and stopped functioning. After carelessly tossing the disgusting screamers head to the ground, I tore off the remaining parts attached to the horns with my hands.

As the battle with the screamer ended, energy drained from my body.

The effect of the Symbol of Hunt had ended.

In the place where energy had drained, a fierce hunger, like being starved for days, came in to fill the void. The thick carapace that had enveloped my body collapsed like a sandcastle.

The bone sickle arm on my back shrunk and detached, falling to the ground. The arms, armored with strong muscles and carapace, now looked like a newly excavated relic.

Apart from the shedding of the carapace, there was hardly any change in the size of my body.

No matter how much I grew, as a Clever Weakling, I couldnt exceed 5m. Even with the Symbol of Hunt, the length only changed in appearance, not in reality.

As the Symbol of Hunt ended and the transformation of my body was complete, I heard someones voice.

[Hostile creature. Transmitting combat situation information to PS-250 intermediate terminal.]

It was the screamer who had hit me on the back of my head with my tail. The guy whose two-thirds of the head were crushed was still alive.

Since self-destruction is annoying.

Despite the pressure of tremendous hunger and lethargy, I moved my steps to deal with him.

Just as I approached him to finish him off.

Big guy!

Adhai?

Suddenly, Adhais telepathy was heard. When I turned my head, I saw the figure of the kid flying through the trees.

Struggling with his immature wings, she was barely flying.

Trouble! Kin Spotted!

What?

Understanding the meaning of the telepathy shot by him, I immediately sensed something from above.

Flapping wings?

As soon as I realized this fact, I quickly stepped back. Just after I retreated, a huge white creature fell onto the screamer.

The creature, pulverizing the screamer cleanly, looked down at me with eyes resembling amethysts.

Insane.

Multiple horns on the head, a gigantic body resembling reptiles with huge wings, and tentacles instead of a mouth.

A creature known as the Dragon of the Universe, second only to the Black Gallagon in strength.

At this moment, the White Gallagon, which I had never wanted to encounter, was in front of me.
