Kapitel 56: Fusion (rewrite in progress)
[Nickel Crow bloodline added!]
.
[Nickel crow: A small type of bird living in woody areas. Their feathers are coated in a type of protein which helps them freely move through the air without any efforts. However, it turns their bodies into a silver color as a result. These are the most normal type of prey hunted by other animals.]
.
[Nickel Crow bloodline at 100%]
.
Right now, Michael could be found sitting down in an unmarked location within the jungle. Surrounded by heavy bushes and trees. Fasting upon a bunch of dead crows with a gleeful expression.
These birds were no different than normal ones. Other than their metallic feathers and their hoarse chirps.
"Good, it's at 100%!"
"Change me into a nickel crow!"
And with my word, the body quickly shrinks and reformes. Turning into the one of the small crows in not even a second.
I look down at my new wings and beak with some interest and enthusiasm. Wondering whether to keep the bloodline or combine it with the condor.
"You know what? Turn me back to the beastlord, and then fuse it with the condor."
As my body once more transform, the system also worked its magic before my two expanding yellow eyes.
.
[Combination completed!]
.
[Recusant Condor bloodline at 17%]
.
"It barely went up? Is it because the bloodline is too weak?"
Well, that is the only plausible explanation... Stacking up on weaker bloodlines ceases from this moment. I don't seem to get their abilities, so just feeding them to the stronger ones will be the new plan.
'I could also combine many weak ones...nah, wouldn't change much. Lets get one supreme beast in each category before jumping onto something else!'
"System, why can't I get rodent bloodlines? The only thing that shows up here are the most common types of animals."
.
[Inheritance incomplete]
.
"Oh. Well, that old guy said I received fragments of the original powers..."
I rise up from the grass and aim all my senses up into the trees. Something feels rather off, but my bestial senses can't seem to get a hang of it.
But, that question quickly answers itself, as a white shadow pounces down at me from above. These dum animals do not seem to realise that the moment they reveal themselves is the instant their fate is sealed.
"Courting death!"
I elegantly spit out a water bullet in its direction. However, to my suprise, the shadow dodges it the instant I fired.
'What?!'
Unable to even react, I can only see the blur hit my body and forcefully hold me down with something resembling a giant paw. Barring the now visible fangs into my face.
This tiger shaped creature seems rather familiar. No, i have seen this before! Its a [Cloud Tiger]!
Damn, this thing sure is strong. I can only seem to violently push it's gaping mouth away while trying to regain some room to use my tremor bomber or spit, but this thing only further charges whenever I try to move. This cat isn't too different from a regular Siberian tiger actually. Only having its fur completly painted white.
Only left with a small amount of time before this thing takes a piece of my face, I do what only a true survivor would.
I charge up all the available energy into my left leg and smash it straight up. Not only cracking the air, but also its nuts.
The shin violently hammers itself against this tiger's groin. And as it does, a sound only ever found when crushing an apple with a tire gets born into this world. Forever haunting the mind of the unfortunate.
Our tiger seems to lose some of its might, and I quickly get to work by shooting some bullets inside its eyes. The attack seems effective, considering two pillars of steam rise up from behind the closed eyelids.
But do you think I'll let you rest? In your f***ing dreams! [Tremor Bomber!]
"PISS OFF!!!"
My shout seems to further discombobulate the large cat, and some drops of blood begin to spurt out of its ears.
Left with almost all its senses ruined, I kick myself of the grass filled layer my body was previously mashed against and swing my arm towards its head.
.
[Abilities Activated!]
[Mad dance of power LvL 2(Strike)]
.
My fist, now enhanced by the enourmes amount of power traveling from the body further speeds up and slams into the head of the beast.
The impact dents and cracks part of it's skull, but the tiger is still left breathing, so I just hit it a couple more times.
Finally, the big cat drops dead. Leaving me with some new meat to dine one.
"Lets see here..."
I quickly use my spirit to enlargen the body and swallow the cat down in one gulp. Slowly shrinking back to a more mobile size as the remains digest themselves.
.
[Bloodline fused with [Kabir Tyrant]
.
[Kabir Tyrant bloodline: 60%]
.
Looks like higher grade bloodlines really increase the percentage by a large margin. And did it just automatically fuse with it? I wonder, is it because its part of the original piece I combined?
-
[Core forming process]
.
[Nuclei: 62%]
[Magic Core: 47%]
-
"Good! But there is also a little something I want to try out..."
My body reverts back to its two meter tall beaslord shape made up of condensed biomass covered by black fur. I should find something that has some better digestive system. Anywas I give a quick order to the system after getting back to normal.
"Can you combine all passive and active abilites that can be fused togheter while I hunt for more prey?"
.
[Affirmative. However, all passive/active abilites except transformations will be inaccessible for 13 hours.]
.
'[Aspect of the Tainted] raises my rank by one whole layer, so in worst case I'll just do that. Besides, my spit ability would be enhanced by the [Devil's Enzyme] skill, wouldn't it? Trying to use my bestial senses in that form would also be much better...'
"Yeah, no problem."
The system then stops responding. Working on the the fusion between all the different skills in my possession.
"Good. But should it really take that long? Doesn't matter now really though..."
I remove my thoughts from the assimilation process and aim my sight back into the forest. Sending out the senses while also slightly transforming. And quickly, part of the black hide on my chest turns into red and green scales. Even one of my partially yellow eyes turn into an complete empty void. Changing my appearance to something you would find in a mutilated undead.
As for the results....The effect seems to have increase greatly! I can reach out two, if not three times further away while having the transformation on. However, it looks like this only raises the power by a set amount, meaning that fully changing doesn't do anything else for it.
"Who cares! Lets find more stuff to eat!"
Left with only my insatiable hunger for completion and the excitement hiding behind my powers, I once more charge straight into the green sea.
...
"We are here, Miss Winter."
Far away from Michael's current position, a group of people were standing in circle around the crater where he first landed. Looking down into it's center with enthusiasm and interest.
"Yes. However, the footprints left behind indicate that some sort of mutated beast came and took what was inside before we got a chance."
Winter was at this moment only mumbling to herself. Knitting her two sharp eyebrows togheter while narrowing the large blue eyes. Even her small nose twitched from time to time as she weakly moved the red lips The trip up here must have been a long one, seen as even her long white hair was quite the mess.
Next to her was another researcher. A blue haired man wearing some round glasses resting in top of a sharp nose. He seemed to be a little better off than her, as the wavy blue strands of hair didn't show any sign of exhaustion. This was Wilsen, a long time friend of Winter. He also intriguingly eyed down the weak footprints and marks stretching in a straight line out from the hole with his two green gems.
"Must be a [Cave Monkey], while the object previously laying here hold a close resemblance to...a human torso?"
As they discussed what kind of creature or item would fall down from the sky, Bandel suddenly jumped out from between them. Heavily gasping for air in and out while falling to his knees. His beard was a mess, and the full moon on the guy's head reflected the sunlight coming from above to a now even more profound degree.
"HAAA!! Can we go home now...?" His gruff voice was even hoarser this time around, as his cardiovascular must have been worked to death.
Winter only looked down at his figure with some anger and weakly kicked his large belly.
"No! We must find out what laid here!"
As Winter angrily gazed down at the man, one of the fully knights shouted out her name from far away. The tone was rather feminine too, sticking out in the mostly men dominated group. It fully removing her attention from the dying man.
"Miss Winter! You must come look at this!"
Not even bothering with the beard ball begging for mercy for another second, she hurridly ran towards the location where the call had come from.
Seeing her hurriedly shoot of like this caused the Wilsen to chuckle.
"This girl is really passionate about her work." His voice held some admiration inside it, but there was a hidden tenderness behind it.
Back to where Winter had ran towards, you would find out that her body had just stopped in its tracks.
She was standing next to one of the female knights wearing a simple, yet full suit of iron armour. It was no different from that of a male set, only having a slighlty smaller headpiece. They were looking at what seemed to be the old hideout of those [Cave monkeys] togheter. Both a releasing and energy of suprise.
It didn't look too different from a primitive camp covered by sticks and dried wood. However, it was now also decorated with some half eaten chimp remains. Each spread around in separate bloddy pieces, and claw marks running all over the cave entrance making its home on a large rock not too far away.
"Aren't cave monkeys at the lower general layer when fully grown?! And their alpha should be at the high end!"
Her voice became even more exasperated by the second, and she continued on her rant.
"By the seven! What could have done such a thing?! Has the ruler of this region gone mad?!"
Winter looked at the ruined camp with her mouth gaping wide open. Letting the messy white hair fly over to all sides while some strands covered the reflection of her eyes.
The knight, however, was much more composed. Looking down at the girl from behind the stripe shaped openings covering her helmet.
"Shall we continue?"
Mabye it was the confidences behind her words, or the same interest in uncovering what had truly invaded their province, but no matter, Winter instantly made a decision. Snapping her out from the wild train of thought.
"Yes! I was given an artifact to save our skin if worst case were to happen."
Winter's voice was light, but the determination behind it would undoubtedly weigh on your shoulders. She refused to stop until getting to the bottom of this herself. Not wishing to leave it to her peers.
"Call the rest! We will set camp here for today."
The knight heard her orders and obediently nodded at her. This obedience did not come from the difference in position, but from a deep suited admiration originating from the depths of her heart.
"Yes, Mrs Winter!"
