Finally outside of the space I appeared near the lake and the sun is still op
"System are you there?"I ask while checking my surroundings to make sure that nothing dangerous is near
"Yes host"The system replied with a plain voice
"Can you scan the surrounding to make sure that this place is safe??"I said after I finished checking my surrounding but I still asked the system to be safe
"Yes host"the system replied then paused for a moment before continuing "Yup host,other than other animals and insects and fishes there are no other threats ,but I do feel something in the middle of that lake"
"Thanks"I simply said as I walk towards the bank of the lake before catching some fishes as I so want to test a particular trait or skill as I don't know how to differentiate them anymore
After catching about five fishes or so.But then suddenly I remembered something that make me almost cursed and you're right,it's that mushroom I forgot to five to miku and also I forgot to ask her what weapon she want the most
"Well,that can wait"I silently mutter as I stored the fishes I caught before crawling near a patch of grass just near the lake using my roots
Finally near the patch of grass.I took out the fishes before placing them in the patch of grass before I toot a stone just near me and wrapped it in my roots before also doing the same to the fishes but I did not get any experience probably because they are weaker than me
And not long after that.Some spores appeared from my body and started to enter the fishes and after that I added the stone in the mix before wrapping it again in my roots.And not long after that I feel something move in my roots.It feels like they are combining into one existence.Not long after that it move more strongly as it struggle to get out of my roots
Slowly unwrapping my roots.An unholly thing appeared in front of me.Muscular body covered with stone spikes and stone scales with 2 sets of fins near it's head that act like legs and the most terrifying part of all is that it's head split into a 4 petaled flower like shape and it's filled with sharp tooth and 3 long tongues
Yup that's a rather strange and interesting trait that I gained from a rather plain looking parasitic mushroom.It allow me to reconstruct someones body and combine it with other bodies or materials to make it stronger and it's called "Parasitic Spore"
Satisfied with my creation I let it follow me from behind as I start to go near the lake as I want to test it's strength
Finally near the lake
"Go kill some fish for me"I ordered while pointing at the lake with my roots
In response to my order it happily jumped into the lake before hunting some fish.It's slow as expected as it might be because it's body filled with stone scales is rather heavy for it to swim fast in the water but it will give a an advantage against normal attack
While taking some notes in my head,I just watch as the fish attack any other fish by using it's long tongues to make up for it's slow speed and it's quite strong as it can easily penetrate every rock that block it's way
(author's note:Why is this getting boring???but I will continue writing it of course)
Soon enough I finally got bored at watching the scene so I call back the fish and stored it but I ate all the fish it hunted not really giving me any interesting traits other than scales,gills and the ability to swim
Jumping to the lake while using my roots to propel myself while I fold my leaves to reduce water resistance
"System where are the thing you detected"i asked the system while swimming into the lake while encountering a lot of bizarre plants and fishes and turtles
"Yes host"The system replied before showing me a map but before I can get a clear look on the map,suddenly a huge crap the size of two average adult human burst out of the lake floor before using it's pincer to attack me,Luckily I evaded it in time
"That's some nice surprise you got there"I said before sending one of my roots into it's hard exoskeleton but I can't seems to penetrate it's exoskeleton.
'Looks like it's going to be a trouble Fighting this guy'i though while evading it's attack
Activating my traits I have and gained i now look like a ball of thorns and sharp bone protrusions with my roots turning into tentacles covered with hard bone plates and long needle like thorns that can suck blood and produce acid at the same times
This is my new form thanks to the things I ate,respectively a small fruit that look like a ball of thorn that gave me the ability to produce acid and to turn myself into a ball of thorns,A bone eater orb like plant that gave me the ability to produce sharp bone protrusions and a bone armor,a normal vine that make me able to turn my roots into tentacles and there are few more I haven't used yet(because the other are sealed because they can't be used for combat)
Angered by my appearance,the crab released a loud roar calling five more crab to help it
Not giving it any chances to call for more.I quickly lunch myself into the crab,wrapping it in my tentacles and penetrating it with my acids in the process
The other 5 crabs tried to help it but there's no way I will let them,so completely wrapping the crab in my tentacles I extended my thorns completely penetrating it and sucking all of it's life.Some notification appeared in front of me but I just shoved it aside as I'm in a battle right now
After killing the first crab,the 5 other crabs seems to be angered by my actions,but fuck hell if I cares
Roaring,the crabs charged towards me and using their sharp pincers to cut some of my tentacles and it hurt like hell.
The crabs seems to be trying to attack me from all sides and I hate to say it but it's quite effective as I cant's attack all of them at the same time.
Thinking hard on hoe to quickly kill all of them while evading all the attacks they throw on me and surely but clearly I soon though of a solution
Keeping the solution in my head and I'm ready to do it completely aware of the consequence of attracting more attention,But before I can do it,the crabs suddenly roared and call for more crabs before charging toward me with a lot of crabs behind them
"Fuck"I can only say to myself before doing my plan
I summoned more tentacles and made their thorns longer and densely packed
"Come at me Fuckers!!"I shouted as I spin myself in high speed,pulling all the crabs whiles also shredding them to pieces while it's also painful as it also cut most of my tentacles,but I can still keep as there are lot of blood in the water and there's also lot of pieces of meat
Not long enough I killed all of the crabs and a lot of notifications smacked me right in my face,but it's still not the time to relax as surely a lot of attention will be attracted by the battle and I'm not wrong as the system notifies me that the one with strong aura is coming here
"I'm sure it will be fun"I said to myself as I can see a large shadow rise from the deepest part of the lake
"ROOAAARRrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"????
