Kapitel 32: [Bonus chapter] Fire-Imp

After some quick seconds of thinking, Victor had made his decision. The fire-imp might be his natural enemy, but that was only if it could touch him at all. This would work well if the monster didn't possess any ranged attack, or worst an AOE attack. If it had any of those, then it for sure was a big game changer, and a huge disadvantage to Victor. Though Victor wasn't scared of death, he was unsure of what would happen after death.

'A level 60 shouldn't be too hard to deal with.' Victor thought.

He wasted no more time and dashed towards the fire-imp from behind, in attempt to at least catch it off guard. As soon as he got into range, Victor pulled out an axe and in one move split most of the fire-imp's body in two.

'Surely it's not so difficult. As long as I never meet them in groups, everything's good.'

After Victor stored his axe back into his inventory, he went on to eat the monster's corpse and gained some evolution material. Immediately, an idea had popped into his head, and he was sure it would work just fine, and if possible the monster would inherit some skills or skill.

Before anything however, Victor would have to find more of these fire-imps, and that part was a little easy for him. He managed to kill a few more fire-imps, and also ended every encounter with one strike as he was not interested in testing their skills. Now, he was ready to begin.

The last one Victor killed, he did it with his 'Touch of death' skill, causing no injury to its body, and he also didn't eat it.

"Arise."

[You have acquired an undying soldier that will forever serve at your side with unquestionable resolve]

[Fire-Imp has dropped in level due to effects of being reborn]

[Fire-Imp Level 50]

"Alright. You shall be called Pyro."

"Alright then."

Evolution Material:

-Fiery Tailed Wolf – 1000

-Zombie – 15,000

-Dungeon Bat – 5000

-Dark Poisonous Spider – 200

-Giant Forest Snake – 200

-White Mountain Tiger – 500

-Grey Lycan – 4000

-Ghost Gecko – 2000

-Mantant – 10,000

-Minotuar – 850,000

-Fire-Imp - 5000

Victor opened the evolution panel and tried out the possible evolution paths for the fire-imp he just added to his legion. He wanted to join the fire-imp and ghost gecko this time. Victor could only hope that the imp would gain the gecko's skill. For this evolution, Victor allowed the system to use most of the evolution materials he had of the ghost gecko to improve the chances of the imp getting a new skill.

"Start evolution on the fire-imp." Victor said.

[Starting evolution on the Fire-Imp]

[Evolution will now and will take 20 minutes]

[During evolution Fire-Imp cannot be summoned]

With the addition of the fire-imp, Victor had officially acquired a variety of creatures that would fit most of the monster types, and with them, he would not shy away from creating monstrosities.

Victor was going to integrate the fire-imp's high affinity for the fire element into himself and with it reduce his weakness to fire, if not eliminate it completely. The problem was this idea of his was impossible. Such creatures that have a high affinity towards one element or magic in general acquire this trait as a part of them that is deeply rooted into their being. A simple integration wouldn't do the trick. Instead, a proper evolution is the way to go.

Realising this, Victor immediately knew that he had to hold off on forming a second form with the minotaur evolution material. Mixing a hulk sized bipedal cow and a lizard-like creature just didn't sit well. Victor knew he could do whatsoever he pleased with his second form, but it didn't mean he had to do it stupidly or on impulse. 'The minotaur come later.' Victor said as he looked down at the corpse of a fire-imp he had just killed.

'System, how much evolution material will be enough to create my second form from a fire-imp?' Victor inquired mentally.

[The amount needed is 200,000]

"Ok? Not as demanding as the minotaur."

Victor went on to hunt for more fire-imps as he now wanted to create a new form. After some hours had passed, Victor was able to amass over a hundred fire-imp evolution material and was getting close to his goal of 200,000. He encountered some groups of fire-imps that moved in groups of about 4 or 5, and facing them was a bit damaging to his health. Their fire was very effective against Victor, and caused a bit of reduction to his total HP, and since they weren't physical fighters, their fire magic was quite strong.

"If they didn't look like large non-scaled lizards, I would say they were mages." Victor said, as he observed his HP. 'Not like they can't be mages since their lizards anyway.'

Hp: 2,005/2,215

Mp: 2,000/2,000

Victor did a good job avoiding their magic, but his weakness to it made the little that got to him affect him more than it should have.

"Hmp. If I'm lucky, the HP might just fill back up by itself." Victor said, with a hint of sarcasm. Of course he was fully aware this wasn't some kind of game world. There might be systems, levels, and monsters, but it was also quite clear that this weren't all part of some game. Not only did corpses rot after death and not disappear, it was quite clear how much consequences ones action had.

Victor continued looking around for more fire-imps, and for some tens of minutes of searching he couldn't find any. He was starting to think that he might have wondered out of their territory and was about to turn back, but he had a thought to just check a little more before he gave up.

"It's that thing again." A voice said from above a platform as Victor walked into a separate pathway that lead towards another part of the dungeon floor.

This voice of course, came from the human mage he had met earlier.
