I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. I had just woken from the best sleep I had since I arrived in this world. It might have been due to me exhausting all my energy 'exercising creatively'.
I got out of my giant double matress sized bed and freshened up in the toilet. I sat down in a sofa doing absolutely nothing. I had nothing better to do as I was bored. I was hungry but I did not have an appetite.
What could I do? I could play some video games on my giant TV screen. No, playing video games when I just woke up would not be good for my body. Besides I only had one game on it.
I could read a book but I just was not in the mood. I could watch a movie but I did not want to sit in my sofa for 2 hours or more. I could train but just like all the other activities I was not feeling it.
I sighed and got ready. I then left the warehouse. I was headed towards the underground. I was going to go exploring for a while today in the creatures territory. Once I was more confident in myself then I would go to the monster territory.
Just like before I parked my car in a local parking spot and entered the underground. I walked for a while as there was nothing better for me to do.
I stood in front of the meat vendor. There were several meats that I wanted to buy. The limit for the amount of skills a borrower could have was 4 but there were some that had 5 or 6. It's a good thing that I was the main villain and had a limit of 8 abilities.
I bought an octopus that had 14 tentacles. It was twice the size of a normal octopus. The 14 tentacled octopus had a ability that I wanted. It could produce several different kids of poisons from its tentacles. It could also retract it's own tentacles into it's own body. The poison was naturally produced in its body which meant that I could probably produce it from my fingertips if I ate it.
I also bought a large electric eel. It's electric ability was going to be useful for me. I could think of several ways that I could use. Well mainly one way but I was going to experiment with it.
I then bought a piece of meat from a four legged creature with four tentacles on it's back with spikes on each end of its tentacles. It had a useful ability. It had sturdy bones, tougher than steel and iron like skin. It's a good thing my teeth could bite through iron and steel to a certain extent.
It really didn't matter which abilities I used but there was one ability that I wanted. I would not be able to get it from the underground or the dark web that was for sure. It was from a beast called Mallet Crows. Mallet crows were giant birds with its wingspan reaching 200 metres! It had three sets of wings and a tail that was so long and sturdy that if it could be used to strangle itself. At least that was how Damien killed it in the novel. The Mallet Crow had the ability to manipulate energy. They could absorb redirect and store kinetic and thermal energy. The problem besides their strength was that they were hard to find. They were like unicorns, near impossible to find.
It's a good thing that I know where they were though. Mallet Crows were in the demon lord's territory. He usually kept them as pets. They were on the flag and the coin of his kingdom.
I rented a cheap car and left as I was headed for the creature territory. I hit the brakes after I had reached a considerable distance away from the underground.
I then opened my giant mouth which was filled with razor sharp teeth. I took a bite out of the octopus which surprisingly was alive. I made sure to chew it properly as I did not want it to strangle me when I swallowed it.
I ate the 14 legged octopus and then the electric eel. I could feel my hands go numb after I had touched it. It's electric current was strong. It had to be as it was it's only defense in the wild. I ate the eel along with its bones which tasted really good.
I pulled out my nunchuks and pressed a button. A carved blade like a kurasigama came out of it. I cut into my making sure cut deep. It was painful and I did not like pain but there was no other way. My healing factor kicked in and used the food I had just eaten to heal my body.
My healing factor had become more efficient in energy using. Now it could heal a significantly large wound with a reasonable amount of energy.
It took me a while but I finally had made enough room to be able to eat the unknown creatures meat. It was the size of a dog and its tentacles were 3 metres long. I started of with the tentacles as they were softer and much easier to chew. I then moved onto the meat. It took me an hour to eat the whole thing as it was not easy chewing it. I also ate the bones because I also wanted stronger bones in my body.
I had gained 3 new abilities on top of my previous 2 abilities. That made five. I could eat 2 more creatures or monsters. The third and final spot was reserved for a Mallet crow. I was in the creature territory and it was time for me to test out my strength.
I had obviously grown stronger since last time but I wanted to see just how much stronger I had become. I cracked my neck and got out of the cover. I covered it with bushes after I had parked it under a giant tree.
