As the chicken came in range with Leon's clutches, he immediately springs forward, grabbing it and smashing it into the tree. The commotion startles the other chicken.
They all ran away. With the chicken in his hand, Leon, without hesitation, kept on ramming it into the tree. He knew that his combat prowess was extremely low, so using his advantage as a human, he tried to kill it in the easiest way possible.
[Slain Three-Tailed Chicken, No Soul Blessing Gained]
Hearing this, he stops and quickly starts running away. The chicken might be afraid of him, but he is also afraid of them.
After getting away, he starts stripping the chicken's feathers clean. In order to obtain full genetic enhancement, one must consume the entirety of the creature.
Unfortunately, there are some parts of the chicken that humans find inedible, like its feathers, beaks, and bones.
He got lucky on the Clumsy Frog because their bones are softer than he expected; unfortunately, this time, he must prepare to eat the chicken.
Those that were watching are a little bit surprised to see how efficiently he prepares the chicken, as they know that someone of his status gets a lot of things done for him, like cooking, washing dishes, clothes, etc.
"According to the system, the clone is capable of independent thought once it reaches a certain level." He mutters to himself quietly.
Seeing that it will still take some time for the chicken to be fully cooked, he starts revising his fight against the Clumsy Frog and the Three-Tailed Chicken.
"My experience in close combat is almost nonexistent; my stealth is actually very useful; that's it! I will try to walk the path of an assassin or archer!" He excitedly said, not knowing that multiple people were listening to him.
'Considering his stealth, I think it is really best for him to walk the path of an assassin, but why an archer? ' This question flashes in the minds of the veteran guardians.
"Haha, he really has changed. Before, he was vehement about fighting like his sister, but now he has discovered his talent and actually does not mind picking a profession that is not known for its flashy appearance," says the girl.
"He might be a natural hider, but he still has a long way to go; he does not know any technique regarding this profession; not to mention, he is inexperienced; he is still naive; and he does not move the way a killer does." states the guardian, who is an assassin.
"Really? I think he is already great; you should have seen how he killed that Three-Tailed Chicken. Such brutality is also merciless; as expected of the descendant of the Oriend, he has great potential," states one of the guardians.
"If you are really worried, why don't you train him?" asks the female guardian to the assassin.
"I rather not; my training will involve a lot of blood, and the young miss might kill me for exposing his delicate brother to such an environment," the assassin says as he shivers at the thought of facing Margaret's wrath.
The rest of the guardians also shiver; they know that Margaret might look so innocent and kind in the eyes of her family, but to those who are not her siblings or parents, they know just how cruel and cold she is.
"Finally!" Leon excitedly cheers as he sees the chicken is finally cooked. He starts eating immediately, unaware that there are multiple people talking about him right now.
[Notice: Your Soul Blessing, Cleo's Clone has killed twenty Gluttonous Worms and has advanced by a small level; his current strength is now comparable to that of average humans, who have twenty-five normal genes.]
Just as he is happily eating his meal, he freezes as the system tells him the current achievement of his clone. He cannot help but smile bitterly; it seems that his clone is multiple times more successful than him.
'Hmm, maybe I should equip another monster pet to fight for me; I think it is best if it is a flying one or at least one that I can ride.' He thought, thinking that the bodies of the Gluttonous Worms are wasted by the fact that his pet is incapable of eating them because of its unique existence.
Most, if not all, monster pets are capable of growing stronger by eating genetic creatures. This not only makes it difficult for the owner to actually grow stronger themselves, but it is also still impossible for them to become awakened just by eating.
They also need some sort of unique item to become awakened, which is why Leon is happy that he has an awakened monster pet with such a unique composition.
Suddenly, he feels some sort of power coursing through his veins. He is startled; he still has not finished eating yet; the system only distributes the genetic enhancement after it is certain that he has finished eating.
'System, I am still not finished eating.' He quickly speaks.
[The system knows the power coursing through your veign is from Cleo's Clone; since it is within your slot, every time it levels up, it will deliver some sort of feedback to the host.]
'That is awesome! If this is the case, why hasn't anyone popularised this idea!? "He quickly asks, If what the system has said is true, then this will make it easier for mankind to reach the top races.
[According to the information that the system currently has, no one dares to risk wasting their soul slot for a soul blessing that is considered worthless to every race; not only that, unlike everyone else, the host has the Gemstone of Life, making it easier for his monster to evolve.]
[Regular monster pets are not only expensive to raise but also extremely time-consuming.]
'Hahaha! Who needs the fate of a main character when you have such a cheat? That is it! I will raise my own army of monster pets! While growing stronger with the genetic enhancement of the creatures that I will slay! '
