Mina looked away from the screen, her eyes beginning to get sore as she read it a few times. Letting it drop, her eyes raised to the pit Inferna had showed her. Primarily used for old bones, they had tossed all of the human corpses into it. Fubuki, Asahi and Inferna stared into the pit as Mina flung her hand with a small snap. A spark ignited, falling down into the pit. They turned away, the scent of charred skin filling the forest.
Mina and her friends grouped up near a large group of mounds, each one holding a powerful member of Inferna's clan. This clan held about twenty Hellcats, but there were roughly fifty humans that had attacked.
"They did well. My father must know of this, so I shall depart for now."
Fubuki knelt her head before she began to walk away. Next was Asahi.
"I'll have to tell my people too. This includes the fact that I'm going to be spending my time with you all. This... this is the beginning of a clan that can annihilate the damn humans!"
Mina shook her head.
"I'll accept your help, but humans are not inherently evil. If they are a threat, they will fall. Some humans... *sigh* some may even join us. A faint hope, but that's how it is. Please return quickly, Fubuki, Asahi."
Inferna huffed, her nose touching the messy mound her mother was buried under.
"Stay strong. She asked me to protect you, and I shall."
Turning around, Inferna gave Mina a kind eyed stare.
"I'll protect you as well. You'll need it, though you're probably stronger then us."
Mina flashed a small smile, then led Inferna towards a separate clearing.
"Get some rest. You haven't slept since last night."
"And you?"
"Spirit. Don't need to sleep that much. Sleep, I'll wake you in I need you."
Inferna curled up, Mina's Sword Body placed up close to her.
'I need to check some things, then I can feel secure.'
Mina began to identify the things that had her curious from her stats screen.
[Coalesce- Grant your body a three minute physical form. Physical attacks may land as well as contact with anything you desire may be done. Cooldown- Twenty minutes.]
'Hmm. That's what I did to Inferna's mom. It was nice to be able to touch something properly, though...'
Mina knelt beside Inferna, the same light erupting under her skin. She began to pet Inferna, a soft purr eliciting from her throat. Her eyes opened, locked onto Mina.
"Yes?"
"Testing. Hehe, you're really soft. I was expecting coarser furr."
Inferna laid her head on her paws, eyes still on Mina.
"Your physical touch is different from what I expected as well. You're warm, not cold. Your touch is soft as well, not strong or inexperienced. It's soothing and comforting."
Her eyes fluttered shut, Mina's cooldown starting up. She pulled her hand away, then stared at the last thing that had her curious.
'I have classes?'
[Your most recent evolution has granted you the ability to switch classes. These classes grant special effects when you switch between them, as well as different weapons and armor.
Classes-
Swordsman- Wielder of blades. Doubles strength and mastery with bladed weapons. You take on the form of any sword type weapon you've eaten.
--Dagger, Short Sword, Longsword
Mage- Wielder of staves and magic. Doubles magic and spell mastery. You take on the form of enchanted weaponry you've eaten.
--None
Rogue- Wielder of blades and ranged weaponry. Doubles speed and mastery over light weapons. You take on the form of dexterous weapons you've eaten.
--Dagger, Short Sword]
'Hmm. I'll choose Swordsman for now.'
[Swordsman active. You may switch anytime through skill Class Shift.
You have learned Class Shift.
You have learned Blade Mastery.
You have equipped Swordsman Armor.]
Mina blinked rapidly, a small suit of armor forming across her white dress. The gear was rather weak looking, made entirely of iron. The armor covered her breasts, shoulders, knees and forearms. No helmet was seen, but Mina had a bit of fun with the weapon shifting. Her Sword Body began to switch between varied lengths, almost as if it were an enchanted weapon.
"This should make fighting different, though..."
Mina eyes the thirty blocks of inventory she had. After naming her friends, she learned of it and accessed it. Her Sword Body couldn't enter, but she placed the silver sword she had acquired within. Another item was in it, so Mina pulled it out and used [Devour] on it.
[You have successfully devoured a Wooden Shortbow. No exp or stat increases, but Rogue class now gains Shortbow form.]
Mina held back a tiny squeal as her idea had worked.
"This is great! Now I just need to wait for the other two to return so we can plan the next step."
Mina stared up into the trees, a sudden movement catching her attention. Out of the slimmest chance, she had heard it slither closer. Her eyes narrowed, able to see the head now. It was a snake. A big snake with a fully red body and golden markings etched down it.
"Oh boy."
"P-pardon."
It spoke, it's voice rather sad. It sounded too androgynous, so Mina couldn't pin a gender.
"You can talk, continue. Do you nred anything?"
The snake began to coil around itself, it's length roughly a meter and a half. It was about as think as a tree branch.
The snake lifted it's head, attempting to make eye contact.
"I wish to join you! Those humans, they slaughtered my kind without mercy. I wish to pay them back to the best of my ability, though I am no more than a Gigas Venom Cobra. I have been lurking nearby, awaiting the time that you seemed approachable. I'm useless as is, so I ask a greater being to mold me to her desired state!"
The snake seemed to kneel, though it only bowed it's head slightly.
[Strange variant detected. Gigas Venom Cobra (Genderless) has requested to be your follower. Do you accept?
Genderless beings can be "molded" into the gender desired most by its body or master.]
"You may follow me, though I can already see a use for you. You possess a camouflage ability, don't you?"
The snake blinked in agreement, it's tongue flicking out.
"Watch the nearby human village. Hmm... can I grant you access to the message part of the system?"
The snake flinched, a noticeable reaction to the message system appearing before it's eyes.
"Seems so. Now, please keep an eye out and inform me of anything that may be dangerous. You won't need to fight, just watch."
Suddenly the snake darted, it's body becoming nearly invisible as it slithered away.
"I wasn't expecting a scout to drop into my lap. Asahi is too hot headed to be one. Hehe."
Mina watched the sky that she could see, falling onto her back. Her arm rested over her eyes, the tears barely visible as they fell down the sides of her face.
'Please help me forward, Inferna and Dyn. Your support... it'll keep me from falling.'
