First thing Luci did was to check his evolution progress.
[Evolution Progress: 214%]
[Genes: Gold Flesh, Light Feet]
[100% Evo Progress = 1 Evo points ]
As expected, the evolution points earned from combat would reduce dramatically after his first. Thankfully, he could finally break through to level-2 super soldier. Then just one evolution more, he would be able to get rid of his sickness forever.
Lucifer had a goofy smile in his face thinking about this but then his eyes was inevitably drawn towards the pool not to far away.
Beside the pool was a large pile of snake skin. Which was a in fitting with the python he had just killed. It was the skin the Python had shed recently.
Lucifer's eyes shook. If he could sell this pyhton scale skin along with the one he had just killed, he would be amongst the richest people within the base! Jlhe would finally be able to settle his debt and even purchase Evolution serum for Lilith.
Thinking about Lilith, Lucifer's expression dropped. He could only hope her sickness doesn't erupt while he was away.
Walking towards the pool, Lucifer poked at it with his sniper rifle and when it didn't melt as he expected, he touched it with his fingers.
A faint glow could be seen seeping from the milky-white pool into his finger.
Lucifer's heart dropped and he retracted his finger. Suddenly, he felt a comfortable sense of coldness in his finger.
His eyes immediately lit up as he had a faint idea of what this was. A natural treasure!
Without hesitation, Lucifer walked into the milky pool, soaking inside it.
"So cold!" When he walked inside first sensation was icy coldness.
Next——
The milky water started seeping into his skin, being absorbed by his muscles, blood and tissue..
"Kaka~~" Popping sounds rang out as his bones readjusted themselves. Lucifer body suddenly started glowing as his body absorbed more and more of the milky water.
Cold!
Bone chilling coldness!
The iciness that froze even souls! Besides cold, Lucifer also felt a great sense of pain. A pain that went into the bone marrow and spread throughout every body part.
"Wong!"
Ice mist began spreading along Lucifer's body as his body dramatically shook, and even a faint snow white glow could be seen shooting out of the surface of Lucifer's skin.
Lucifer's face was snowy white, and the veins on his forehead popped out. His muscles twitched, and his eyes were bloody red. His internal organs, bones and muscles were experiencing frightening changes…..His bones seemed to have been smashed by a huge hammer repeatedly and breaking constantly while becoming harder. His whole body felt as if millions of ants were biting as his hands and feet twitched involuntarily.
"Ahh!!!" Lucifer emitted an unbearably painful and deep roar.
Pu!
The bulging veins on Lucifer's's forehead actually popped, causing blood to splatter in the pool as it was rapidly coated in blood.
Pa! Pa!
The skin on his face cracked opened, and blood splashed. His face was covered with blood, and the human skin mask on his face dropped to the ground.
"Ah!!!" Lucifer roared hoarsely. His muscles and bones emitted a loud sound as his height increased gradually.
"What the actuall fvck is this?!" Lucifer couldn't help but shout as he fell in his knees. It was so painful that he involuntarily smashed the ground below the pool repeatedly.
The skin of his right fist cracked opened, and the joints of his fist were white. The waves of terrifying force that resembled the beasts of the transcendent level flowed into his body.
"Bang!" "Bang!" A few loud bangs sounded as horrifying holes appeared on the fast evaporating pool.
Covered in blood, the 1.89 m tall Lucifer crashed on the ground like a defeated demon covered in his own pool of blood.
The blood on his body dripped onto the ground and dyed the ground red. At this moment, Lucifer was in such great pain that he was barely conscious. He could only smash the ground repeatedly with his fist to vent this excruciating pain. As each fist fell, a bucket-sized hole would appear on the ground.
If this scene was seen by the various experts of the Wasteland, they would be shocked and dumbfounded.
One should know that the fist strike of an expert with three levels of Physique Evolution could obliterate an entire boulder with their fists. Now, Lucifer was swinging his fist to vent his pain. The swinging of fists now was different from the full-strength fist swung by Lucifer when he was fighting the python. As he swung his fist on the ground to vent his pain, every punch was extremely fierce. If this fist was an attack with full-strength, how powerful would it be?
"Ke! Ke! Riiiiip!" Beneath the lacerated skin, the red muscle fibers entwined together like a compact form of concrete iron. Each muscle group was trembling and twitching.
The pain was so excruciating that Lucifer felt his conscious fading away. One could imagine how intense such transformation was.
Actually...
Lucifer wasn't at was not at fault. How would he know that only those with four stages of body evolution could use the Milky Water?
The Python could use the pool simply because as a beast, it's body was naturally stronger than regular humans but even then, it didn't dare soak in the pool and would only scoop a little and use. But Lucifer directly soaked into it like a manaic!
If the Python saw this, it would surely be satisfied even in its death.
As for Lucifer, he could only try to endure.
Now, his body is being transformed by the Milky-Ice pool. This pool had been accumulated for few thousand years and ever since its found it, the Python had been using it to strength strengthen its body, to the point of having the defense of a level-3 Fiend creature and being impervious to ordinary blades.
The pool doesn't increase one's evolution since the beast was still level-2 after all this time. If it had being a level-3 creature, Lucifer would have died here without a doubt.
