Chapter 195: Another Tyl-Based Beauty?
‘Their movements are getting erratic. I should focus on one and kill it instead of damaging them slowly. I’m not here to watch a damn fight!’ The Paru quickly moved beyond the enemies and jumped up high. ‘I’m here to clear a Quest!’
By using his “Spiderweb Production Lv.3” Skill, the invisible Paru managed to make threads that were both sticky and tough, allowing him to hand onto the ceiling.
As the three below fought amongst themselves, he only needed to use his Plasma Ray Skill once more on each of them, to finish them.
‘Ranging from 1 to 3 Skill Points.’ The Paru thought to himself as he let himself fall to the ground. All the enemies had been defeated. ‘I’ll assume that means there are 3 Colonies. As much damage as I can, right? In that case…’ He turned towards the hundreds of eggs that lay on the ground. ‘I’ll destroy these as well. I’ve already defeated the Kings and Queens of both colonies, so these guys will probably go extinct. Well, except those who survived… I suppose there can be more of these Species in other spots on Tyl.’
The Paru took his time destroying the eggs.
Using his “Plasma Ray” Skill so many times was tiring, and consumed great amounts of Endurance Points.
Once he was done destroying the eggs, the Paru turned towards the fallen creatures.
There were three Skills he wanted in particular.Devouring those four, indeed, gave him those Skills.
[Your Skill “Regeneration Lv.2” becomes “Regeneration Lv.3”!]
‘Those Salamanders could recover quickly.’
[Your Skill “Poison Production” becomes “Poison Production Lv.2”!]
‘Nice.’
[You have Developed the Skill “Fang Projection”.]
‘Good. The snake queen used that. Right when the Salamander stopped her fangs from reaching, she opened her mouth wide and her fangs were shot.’
Of course, the Paru didn’t want that Skill to shoot fangs.
[You have Developed the Skill “Blade Projection” through “Skill Merge”!]
‘With this, regenerating injuries will get much easier and faster. I’ll be able to turn my tentacles into blades and shoot them using this Skill. Well, as well as my arm… Though that would be inconvenient.’
To move forward from there, the Paru simply chose the largest tunnel.
‘Huh… This one’s going down deeper.’
He simply shrugged and advanced.
It didn’t take long for the tunnel’s walls to start changing.
‘Plants are growing…? No, Mold? That’s-‘
The next second, the Paru felt something approaching.
He raised his gaze towards the deeper parts of the tunnel and, surprisingly, nothing appeared for a while.
‘It’s moving incredibly slowly.’ The Paru thought to himself as he activated his -Hyper Sensitive Eyes- Skill. ‘These types of things are what’s keeping the others away?’
With the difference in size, it was surprising.
The creature resembled a turtle. But instead of a shell, what seemed to cover its back was,
[Those would be commonly referred to as Fungal Spore life forms.]
The turtle-like creature was covered by hardened fungal structures, which resembled crusted fungi.
If it wasn’t for the Paru’s Skill that allowed vision in darkness, he would have probably focused on the shape of those fungal structures, which rose from the turtle-like creature’s back in layers, making its height look much more impressive than it actually is.
‘Especially since it’s walking on the ceiling, I wouldn’t have noticed the main body. Only the dangling fungal part, which is much larger.’
The Paru stared at the creature. With how slowly it was moving, there seemed to only be one reason why the other would stay away from ones such as this one.
‘The poison. Fungus poison? Not sure how to refer to that. I doubt that I’m resistant to it though… I’ll kill it quickly and take my time eating it.’
A tentacle peeked from behind the Paru’s back and turned into a small blade of bones.
‘Let’s try to aim this properly…’
Blade Projection.
Hit!
The blade pierced through the turtle-like creature’s head. Its body slowly stopped moving.
Three seconds later, its limbs couldn’t hold onto the ceiling anymore, and it fell.
The moment that the fungal structure on its back hit the ground,
Pshh!
A cloud of toxic spores from the fungal growths on its shell was released.
‘I suppose they can release that on command, not just when it’s pressed down by something…’
The Paru patiently waited for the cloud to fade away, before getting closer.
His lips curled up, and he almost let out a chuckle.
‘Gross… Smells like cheese.’
The Paru rapidly devoured the creature.
A couple of steps later, three more appeared.
‘Feels like kind of gross eating these, but gaining special abilities is what I’m here for, so…’
The Paru kept going, devouring more and more of them.
‘When am I gaining a Skill…? And how do I destroy this Colony? There aren’t enough for me to-‘
Once the Paru noticed them, it was too late.
Lodged in the tiny tunnels in the walls, three similar creatures attacked as they sensed him walk past them.
Their bodies blended perfectly, incredibly difficult to notice when lodged in the mold-covered walls.
As soon as the green mist of toxic spores was let out, covering the Paru’s body, his blade arm slashed two of them apart, while a kick utilizing his -Explosive Acceleration- Skill cut through the air and mist, forcing it to dissipate faster.
The third, still lodged in the wall, was defeated by a front kick that squished it flat against the ground.
All had been defeated.
‘Alright…’ The Paru wiped his mouth, his breathing slightly elevated. ‘That was stressful.’
He quickly Devoured the three and walked deeper into the tunnel. This time, even more cautiously than before. Paying attention to every inch of the walls, ground, and ceiling.
One minute later, he stopped suddenly.
In front of him stood…
[A Side-Quest has been issued!]
A naked beauty with long green hair.
[Quest: Impregnate the Tyl-Based Beauty.]
‘What…?’
She waved at him.
[Reward 1: 100 Skills Points.]
[Reward 2: 100 Stat Points added to every Stat.]
“You…” The Paru frowned, utterly confused. “You can’t be serious?”
