A goblin and an infernal wolf ran for their lives, dungeon below.
An unusual sight, before the two of them fought to the death until one of them started chewing on each other's flesh. Now they had left their hatred behind in search of one thing: to live.
They stopped behind a huge gray rock, gaining cover. The monsters couldn't see the extraordinarily fast figure that reached them in a very short time.
The little dark green goblin didn't have enough time to raise his spear and prepare for the attack. All he could see was a hand bigger than his own head slicing through his chest as hard as it could, smearing blood across the face of the infernal wolf.
[You gained 20 XP! ]
The figure that turned out to be a black-colored monster over six feet tall and humanoid in appearance, advanced on the infernal wolf that was trembling with fear.
There was no escaping to the red creature that was trapped between the rock walls. With its fists, the monster pinched the creature's head, making it growl for the last time.
The slimy blood spurted in piles on the floor and spattered Lance Fehrman's face.
[You gained 15 XP! ]
[You evolved a level! ]
[You evolved to level five! ]
[Strength: 33 → 34]
[Agility: 17 → 18]
[Luck: 7 → 8]
[Magic: 8 → 9]
[Vitality: 45 → 225]
[You received a new skill! ]
[Skill: Eat to grow! Acquired! ]
[Eat monster meat to increase your strength and regain vitality! ]
"Eating monster meat? This must be a joke!" Lance yelled to himself.
"Couldn't you give me an ability that involved summoning fires with my hands? Control the water or something? "
[The King of Kaiju told you to shut up. ]
"..."
"Okay… let's see if this really works."
With no wood to light the fire, Lance grabbed the infernal wolf's remains and bit it. He tore the beast's tendons and muscles in a single bite, pulling the flesh from the corpse and chewing it.
The meat stank too much. The raw flavor was similar to eating an overdue meal, long forgotten in the fridge. Fehrman forced himself to swallow the large piece of meat until it landed on his stomach.
He continued to devour the creature until not even its claws were left.
[Strength: 34 → 35]
As his vitality was fully filled, it was not altered.
"So it's like leveling up… How amazing! I can get stronger a lot faster this way!"
He looked at the goblin with his chest burst. Just thinking about eating something like that... It was completely stomach-churning.
Lance grabbed the goblin's corpse and bit its head, ripping its thin, green neck. It tasted even worse than that of an infernal wolf. This time it was like eating rotten poop.
Fehrman could have sworn he was going to throw up.
He finished devouring the goblin.
[Strength: 35 → 36]
"Getting stronger has its downsides. But this is for my revenge. I'll do whatever it takes to kill those bastards!" His voice thickened.
There was something that had worried Lance since he turned into kaiju a few hours ago.
Where the hell was his penis?
Can't a kaiju work at night? If only he could do something like that in the situation he was in. Turns out Lance couldn't remember how he got back from the dungeon.
[The King of Kaiju asks you to look behind the carapace that protects your groin. ]
Lance lifted the carapace the King of Kaiju had sent him to take a look at.
"Look at that…!"
His penis was behind the armored carapace. He could sleep peacefully knowing that.
He made his way through the dungeon, jumping over dangerous terrain that would definitely kill the most inexperienced hunters and deadly traps that could kill even the most experienced.
A melancholy but beautiful voice enchanted Fehrman's ears as he began to walk towards the sound. If he was correct, Lance had reached the top floor of the dungeon and was heading towards the boss.
The mistress of beasts was waiting for him in a huge and spacious hall.
The room was completely different from every other floor in the dungeon. Gold-plated pillars can be found there. Several chests and piles of gold, silver, and bronze coins were scattered about.
There were dry trees in artificial gardens, surrounded by monster corpses. The odor invaded Lance's nostrils.
An obscure throne at the bottom of the floor, above dozens of concrete stairs, exalted the person who remained seated.
She was the mistress of beasts.
A stunning female looking monster. She had a small pair of red horns on top of her head. Her red eyes had an inverted cross-shaped pupil and her lips were pink and thin.
She had a perfect oval face and wore a blood-soaked red dress that covered her entire right leg, leaving her left fully exposed.
If she didn't inhabit a dungeon and brutally kill people, she would be a world famous model. No doubt.
Her snow-white hands smoothed the fur of an infernal wolf sitting beside her throne On the other side, another infernal wolf.
There were dozens of them around Lance. He had already noticed them.
"Who dares to enter my territory?" The monster woman spoke haughtily.
"Is this your territory? Very well organized, congratulations. "
"Do you dare mock me?!" Her voice rose.
With a hand signal, she sent the wolves advancing on Fehrman. There were dozens, no, hundreds or even thousands of them.
"Wait a minute! I just want to talk!"
Two infernal wolves leapt at Lance, who met them with powerful punches. Each one of them exploded.
Three more jumped and met the same fate. This time, four. Ten. Twenty-five.
A thousand infernal wolves dead and they just didn't seem to stop showing up. The level evolution message didn't disappear from Lance's eyes due to the amount of XP gained.
[You evolved a level! ]
[You've evolved to level seventeen! ]
[Strength: 36 → 53]
[Agility: 18 → 35]
[Luck: 8 → 25]
[Magic: 9 → 26]
[Vitality: 225 → 765]
He continued punching and trampling each wolf that approached. The messages no longer appeared, the XP gained from killing the infernal wolves was no longer sufficient to evolve to level eighteen.
Lance was completely covered in blood. He stank more than goblins and wolves combined.
"How do you have so much strength? How?!" She leapt from the throne, preparing to attack.
Fehrman ran as fast as any marathon runner, leaping down the stairs and grabbing the beast-woman's neck, holding her in the air.
"Want to chat now?!"
She nodded yes. Practically out of breath, she tried desperately to breathe.
"You are... a monster!"
"I don't deny it." He said.
"Have you thought about getting out of here?"
"It's impossible." She said.
"Because?"
She refused to respond. Lance advanced on her once more, intimidating her.
"Because he put me here! The Ruler of Creatures! He trapped me here to be killed thousands and thousands of times by humans so that they evolve their gifts every day!"
"Because?"
"You're asking for too much!"
He came face to face with her, just two inches away.
"What if I say I'm going to kill the Ruler of Creatures?"
"What?"
"And that I will destroy mankind, the Gods and the Demon King?"
"You're crazy! This is impossible!"
"I could get help from someone like you. Strong and with an incomparable hatred for one of them. You are perfect for my plans. What about it? Would you like to work for me? "
She frowned and gritted her teeth.
"Not even if you kill me a thousand times! I will never serve someone like you! "
"So I only need to kill you a thousand times? So be it. "
With a jab, Lance slammed the mistress of beasts against the wall at the back of the room. She broke her spine, legs and arms. She spat blood over and over, tried to say something but couldn't.
She died.
"Damn! With just one punch!" He looked down at his fist that burned like fire.
A message appeared above Lance.
[The mistress of beasts will be back in ten minutes! ]
[Get what you need quickly! ]
A counter also appeared.
[Time for mistress of beasts return: 9 minutes and 56 seconds. ]
Lance would wait. He just needed to convince her to accept the offer or he would kill her again. He would do this until she agreed to become his ally.
Lance had all the time in the world.
