While Farrak and Cranum were fight, the ground started shaking, then the snake came, bursting out of the ground, behind Farrak and Cranum.
"WH-WHAT'S THAT?! A WEIRD MONSTER!" Cranum yelled, looking up at the snake with a fearful expression.
"CH-CHNK! WHY GOD HERE?!" Farrak yelled, also looking up at the snake with a fearful expression.
The snake looked down at the fearful gnolls and started slithering around the battlefield at a fast pace, with it's mouth open, eating every monster in it's sight. Including the gnoll's king.
"K-KING!, KING DEAD!, AVENGE KING!" The gnoll's yelled, with their eyes glowing red.
The snake, using its venomous saliva and started melting every monster on the battlefield.
"R-RUN!, PUNISHMENT FROM GOD! CCHHK!" Some orcs yelled.
"SHIT!" Cranum yelled, running away.
"CRANUM! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? CCHHK! WE BATTLE AS WARRIORS! " Farrak yelled to Cranum.
"SHUT IT, FARRAK! MY CLAN'S SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SOME SHITTY HONOR!" Cranum yelled, running back towards his clan to get them to safety.
Farrak face then harden, as Cranum words gotten to him
"ORCS, LISTEN! WE WILL ALSO FIGHT BACK AGAINST OUR GOD! CCHHK!" Farrak yelled, getting affected by Cranum words.
The orcs, hearing this, got motivated and they ran towards the snake, trying to kill the snake but that attack failed, as the snake shot it's venomous saliva onto them, melting some of them.
Then Cranum, who got his clan to safety, was in the air, striking down his halberd onto the snake's head.
"DIEEEEEE!" Cranum yelled.
Once the halberd struck down onto it's head, it let out a cry of pain.
"KAAAAAAAH!" The snake cried, trying to shake Cranum off but Cranum hold on onto his halberd, digging deeper into it's head.
While Farrak was on the ground, slashing deep into the snake with his sword.
Splat!
Blood sprayed out of the wound, splatting onto the ground around farrak and onto him.
The snake got ready to use it's venomous acid again, to shower the ground with acid, this time, aimed at the two kings.
While all of his was happening, Salvador was on a cliff side, sitting on a protruding egde, watching everything unfold.
{Man, I feel like I'm doing the exact same thing that Cha Yeon Woo did in the novel, just waiting for the moment that the snake was weak enough to absorb.} Salvador thought.
Looking at Cranum, who's arm is missing and half of his face is burned and looking at Farrak, whose body was full of bruises. Whlie several parts of his body were swollen up, having fractures all the way from ribs to the end of his spine.
After he looked at the two kings, he then looked at the snake, which was barely hanging on to life, just like the two kings.
{I guess it's my time to strike.} Salvador thought, using his mana circuit with blinking steps, increasing both of theirs proficiency and increasing Salvador speed even more.
['Mana Circuit' skill proficiency has increased. 0.7%]
['Blinking steps' skill proficiency has increased. 12.4%]
Salvador, while in the air, got above the snake's head and used Gluttony to suck it's life force away, by attacking it's brain and then landing on it's head.
Which resulted in, the snake not getting fully absorbed, as it was too powerful and having the snake make another loud cry of pain.
"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" The snake's cry of pain sounded through out the forset, trying to shake Salvador off but he stayed on, thanks to mana helping him stick to the snake.
The monsters engaging in the war, started backing up, not knowing why their god is like this.
Everyone in the forset heard it's cries, everyone including Cha Yeon Woo, who swiftly turned around and ran towards Salvador way.
Salvador, who was still using Gluttony, didn't get off of the snake, untill it's brain vanished.

After Salvador read the system messags , he felt something 'weighty' being absorbed through his portal.
It was the snake's essence, which was when the light completely disappeared from its eyes, slamming into the ground with a loud thud
THUD
The snake's massive head collapsed onto the floor, kicking up dust and dirt.

{This system really does like bombarding you with messages.} Salvador thought, getting on his knees and cutting the head of the snake, showing a golden orb.
Salvador then used Gluttony to absorb the orb, collecting the vemon gland as well.
['Gluttony' skill proficiency has increased. 6.2%]

Salvador got up of his knees and looked at Farrak and Cranum and thanks to the energy around him, gave him a even more potent aura.
"Huff!" Cranum said, loudly
{Impossible...! Those eyes...are the eyes of a predator!} Farrak thought.
{I get it now. This guy's the one who caused all this!} Farrak thought, getting angry.
"YOU'RE DEAD! CCHHK!" Farrak yelled, running towards Salvador with intent to kill him.
But Salvador slashed at Farrak neck with his hand, slicing it off.
[You have defeated the boss monster, Farrak the Orc King. Additional karma will be given out.]
Farrak head landed right where Cranum was, resulting in him tightening his grip on his halberd but he soon also died.
[You have defeated the boss monster, Cranum the Goblin King. Additional karma will be given.]
After Salvador dealt with the monsters that were attacking him and absorbing them, he found a nearby stump and sat down.
{Why am I feeling sympathetic for Farrak and Cranum? Is it because they had their own honor? Or is it because they were friends?} Salvador thought, contemplating deeply.
{Anyway, taking everything the tower has to offer, means causing monster rushes, obtaining hidden pieces and using people to get want I want.} Salvador thought.
{Do I wanna go down the same path of Cha Yeon Woo, getting the best possible loot and power possible and be known as a person who would get want they want, no matter the outcome or follow my own thing.} Salvador thought about this deeply, sitting like the thinker
While he was thinking, he sensed Cha Yeon Woo was still far away from the orc's domain, so Salvador got up and heading towards galliard to give him his locket and head on out.
When he got to the cottage, he noticed galliard wasn't there, so he sat down on a stump in the courtyard, waiting.
While he was waiting, his transformation got completed.

{Why is this skill still a error, huh?, wait why did my nature change back to what it was before and where is a Wounded Lion?} Salvador thought, clicking on it.
[Unfazed]
Your unfathomable indominable will to never yeid in the face of death or adversities, gives you immunity to mind control, ressistant to all bad status by 70% and makes you harder to knock down or kill.
{This still doesn't answer my question.} Salvador thought, still wearing the armor.
[CONDITIONS MET ]
[Portal to different dimensions]
A portal that goes to a different world then the one you're in, freezing time in your world while you're gone.
Note: Once you go to a different world, you'll lose all the power you have in your world and get transformed into the common thing in that world.
After you come back from the world, you get your power back and reverse back to your body you have now.
You can keep the power and use it to further increase your own strength that you have now.
{Thank God, this comes now, as now I could follow my own path, with me becoming stronger without compromising my moral code.} Salvador thought.
Salvador used the skill and he saw time freezed, with everything grey, as he was waiting for the skill to work, he saw a person standing awhiles a way, waiting for something.
This person was fully blacked out, with only it's red bloodshot eyes and fully red mouth showing.
This "thing" saw Salvador and looked at him, Salvador was feeling uncomfortable, so he prayed to God, to help him out and he felt that uncomfortable feeling going away.
{Ah, how long has it been since I last prayed, I even forgot to do it when I woke up, pendejo} Salvador thought, slapping himself, leaving a slap imprint on his skull face.
=======================
There's a reason why his nature changed back and definitely not because the author fucked up a little with the nature, couldn't be.
But there is actually a lore reason behind that and the reason he's acting so calm and nice now and sympathetic.
