Martin started shaking after buying the creature at the Paradigna Market. A few seconds later, that feeling was gone. At that time, the system automatically showed his status to himself.

He noticed that he was starting to get a little headache, but he thought it was common. A few seconds later, Paradigna began to inform him.
In just 10 minutes, Martin had a lot of information again. He had learned how to transform into a creature, see the creature's appearance, and increase his mental strength (soul power) in general. With this information, he has a better chance of staying alive in this weird world.
Martin began to repeat what the system told him.
I just have to think about it. If I want to increase my soul power, I have to kill different creatures and people, but my soul power will only increase if I kill in the shapeshifter form. (Creature Form)"
When Martin found out, he wondered why. He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't find it, so he decided to stop thinking about it because there were more important things than that.
With a thought now, Martin can see what the creature he bought from the Paradigna Market looked like.
The Demon Claw The Minion was a creature with long legs compared to its body. He had a lot of muscle in his legs, and he looked strong. His head was the size of a 10-year-old child's head, and he looked like a human. Of course, the skin color was a mixture of black and brown.
Martin's favorite places were where this creature was named after it. His claws were nearly one-third the length of his height. They had a pretty sharp shape. This creature had five claws instead of five fingers.
In general, Martin was pleased with the creature's appearance. He didn't look so strange, nor did he look like a complete human being. He was a brown, 160-cm creature with muscular legs and arms.
After doing the general review, he thought of turning into a creature. A few seconds later, he realized that his body had completely changed. It was as if his whole body had changed in the blink of an eye.
That was weird. Martin thought this transformation would be painful. But as far as he understands, it wasn't what it seemed. The opposite happened—painless and very fast.
Martin approached the door and tried to open it with his long claws. He forced it to open the door a little bit. He had this strange power and energy all over his body, and he'd never felt this way before in his life.
After he walked out the door, he started running with all his strength directly to the spot where the forest was.
He didn't know how fast he was going, so he lost his balance and crashed into a tree in just two to three seconds after he started running.
Martin wasn't rushing for it. He was trying to figure out how much power and speed he had. He needed to know his limitations because if he didn't, he would try to fight someone who was much stronger than him and lose his life.
Martin began to move into the woods. After walking through the forest for a few more minutes, he came up to a tree and launched a simple attack on the tree with his long black claw. His claws cut off the half-width of the tree.
Martin couldn't stop laughing when he saw this. That was a really good thing. He knew that if he used all of his power, he could have cut this three-meter-wide tree in front of him in half.
He wandered through the woods for a few minutes. He was looking around for a creature or a human to kill. He now had a really powerful weapon against people. After wandering through the woods for only 2–3 minutes, he started to hear human voices coming from around him.
These voices weren't scarce. It was pretty much his voice there. These sounds were also accompanied by the sounds of hoofs and horseshoes.
"These must be one of the caravans mentioned by the villagers."
Martin has started to think deeply. He had more or less knowledge of these things. All he did, except kill people, was read books. He didn't have any sexual desire. That's why he had a lot of free time when he wasn't killing.
As far as he understands, caravans like this wouldn't go around without people protecting themselves, but that doesn't mean Martin can't attack them. All he had to do was use one of the old tactics.
He whispered the name of this tactic to himself and began to move towards the caravan.
