BXBX NOVEL Chapter 175: The Director
Then it began to devour the blood and flesh of the small animal.
Within a few moments, all of its blood and flesh were devoured, leaving only skin and bones.
Lucian did feel a tiny amount of energy enter his body, but it was almost negligible, so he just allowed Velm to absorb it.
Then he moved his gaze towards a female snake that was around 3 meters long.
Velm shot out again, its speed so fast that none of the snakes noticed it until it hit the body of the female snake.
Not even giving her time to resist, all the blood, flesh, and Fog were absorbed from its body.
Lucian felt it more clearly this time, although the amount was still quite small, he now confirmed that he could absorb Fog even on this planet.
On top of that, he would be able to absorb more than what the women could absorb.
"There are quite a lot of snakes here. I guess I can continue with my experiments for a little longer, go Velm." Lucian looked around at the thousands of snakes, seeing them all as nothing more than energy for his growth.
He raised his hands and pointed them both forward, as several dozen tentacle-like red fluidic hands rushed out at lightning speed.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
Those pointed hands all penetrated the bodies of the snakes, killing them instantly before absorbing their blood and flesh.
One after another snake died.
Seeing this scene, all the surrounding snakes began to move away from Lucian, especially the females, who had developed a certain level of intelligence and could sense the danger.
Lucian stood on the spot without taking a step forward as the red hands with black patterns kept slaughtering one creature after another.
He wanted to check up to what length they could be extended right now, and soon he found out the answer.
"So, thirty meters. That\'s impressive," Lucian mumbled. After clearing the snakes in a range of 30 meters, he began to walk forward, intending to kill the rest of them.
Even though Velm had no consciousness of its own, Lucian could feel its hunger, so without taking any of the Fog or energy it gathered, he allowed Velm to absorb all of it.
The speed at which the snakes died was a lot faster than what Lucian was capable of. Within just a few minutes, all of the snakes had died, and not a single drop of blood was left on the entire ground.
Only the skin and bones of the snakes were left.
Lucian could feel Velm\'s satisfaction after such a big meal.
It disappeared after completing its task, returning to being a normal tattoo.
"This is way better than my expectations. I should enter the Chasm as soon as possible," Lucian spoke, feeling excited.

Even while he was killing all those snakes, he was doing small experiments and found some really useful outcomes after his observation.
Like, on this planet, when a creature with Fog in its body is killed, it will release a big part of the Fog into the air, which could only be absorbed by a woman.
Even with Velm\'s help, Lucian was not able to absorb that.
He could only absorb the blood and flesh and some of the lingering Fog that remained in the body.
But when he penetrated a female snake\'s body without killing it and started to absorb, Lucian was pleasantly surprised to find that he was able to absorb all of the Fog.
"Now I no longer have the restriction of not being able to absorb Fog on this planet. I just have to do it without killing them before the absorption.
Also, I need to be careful of people around me. Hmmm, the fewer people that know, the better. After all, I can absorb more Fog than any woman could in this world," Lucian spoke to himself.
[That\'s true. Even on the original Earth, you would be able to absorb a little more Fog than you would have normally. And there, you won\'t have to worry about absorbing it before or after killing.]
Lucian nodded his head in satisfaction as he read Zero\'s words. He took out his mobile and saw that he didn\'t have any missed calls since there was no network in this space.
"What about the protagonist?" Lucian questioned.
[He is currently inside the prison. Peter made sure to use his authority and keep him inside for a couple of days, not allowing him to contact anyone outside, so he won\'t be coming here for one more day at least.]
"Oh, that\'s such good news. It was the right decision to make Peter work for me. Although I am feeling hungry right now, aside from that, my body is perfectly fine—or rather, better than ever before," Lucian said.
Even the speed at which he was absorbing the pill that he had taken from the protagonist in the beginning had increased, though more than half of it was already absorbed.
"All the Chasms here are controlled by big organizations, and it would be very difficult to enter them for now. Maybe I should take some Chasms under Pendulum.
At least for now, they are following my orders, but I need to increase my strength to keep myself safe."
After thinking for a few seconds, Lucian decided to go back to the original Earth. He planned to first evolve to the second phase and then go into as many Chasms as possible before returning.
"Zero, shall we go? This place is secure enough, and I would only be gone for a minute or two probably," Lucian said as he walked back into the room and sat down with his back against the wall.
[I understand. You might still feel some headache, but here we go.]
Just as those words appeared, Lucian felt his eyelids becoming heavy, and in the next instant, he fell asleep.
He experienced something similar to the last time as his consciousness returned to his body on the original Earth.
All he saw was darkness and only felt emptiness around him.
Lucian\'s mind felt foggy for a few seconds, then with a sudden wave of pain, it became clear.
Although the pain was not as bad as the first time, it was still quite bad.
His brows creased as Lucian opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling with a fan right above his head.
He instantly sat up and rubbed his head, taking in long breaths.
"Oh, he is awake. Quick, get him some water."
"Should we take him to the nurse\'s office? He looks to be in pain."
"Wait, let\'s ask him about it first. Where is the water?"
Lucian heard several voices around him. While holding his head, he raised his gaze and saw over a dozen students surrounding him.
Feeling confused, he moved his gaze around and soon remembered that before fainting, he had come outside the drama club room, and right now, he was sitting on a sofa inside that very room.
These students must have brought him inside. All of them were staring at his face as if they had found an alien.
Soon someone passed Lucian a bottle; drinking a few mouthfuls of water from it, he returned the bottle and finally felt a little better as his headache began to disappear slowly.
"I am fine, you don\'t need to take me to the nurse\'s office," Lucian said as he stood up. The students looked at him in astonishment, as if watching a baby take its first steps.
"All of you, stop lazing around and get back to your work! Don\'t forget about the biggest opportunity of our lives that is so close to us.
If we don\'t give it our best, then not only will we fail to get our dream jobs, but we will also end up becoming the laughing stock of all the other top schools—just like how our seniors became in the past few years."
Just then, a boy wearing a paper hat on his head and holding a fan shouted at all the other students.
He was the head of the drama club, responsible for most of the duties like selecting actors, gathering funds, selecting stories, directing the drama, and many other things.
So if the drama did well, he would surely have a chance of getting into the film industry, since many famous producers, directors, and even some actors attended this event.
"Y-Yes sir, we were just helping him since we found him fainted right outside the door." All the members hastily ran away from there and began to work.
They were all afraid of the head of the drama club.
After they had all run away, only Lucian and the club\'s head remained there.
He squinted his gaze at Lucian\'s face and pushed his glasses back.
His height was almost 6 feet, and his body was relatively fit since he also participated in a lot of sports.
"Are you okay now? If you want, I can take you to the nurse\'s office. By the way, everyone around calls me Director," he spoke.
