"Are you done yet....." With dim eye's that seemed to lack any ounce of life, Chinonso asked Zara who was busy dinning on a wild dogs carcass.
What he got in return was the sound of her viscous jaws tearing through the dogs flesh in big mouthfuls.
it was clear she wasn't interested in answering him, all she cared about right now was dinning on the final meal that lay'd before her.
"You little glutton!!!" Seeing this Chinonso felt a tad annoyed.
**Pa!**
He whipped his tail towards her sending the decapitated dog head flying at her.
Before she could take another bite, the dog's decapitated head smacked hard against her skull.
His not so little sister turned towards her big brother with resentment in her eyes but what she got in return were his cold look as if saying.
' Just try and throw it back, I dare you!'
Not willing to try anything stupid she just glared at him in frustration before going back to her meal, though now with a slight bump on her head.
* * * * *
Since she was being so difficult, Chinonso decided not to deal with her anymore instead his attention was moved towards the so called battlefield.
On looking at the once vibrant stretch of land, all that was left were the multitude of blood stains and little pools of blood that soiled the surroundings.
On a normal occasion he swore he would've felt nauseous right now but instead he actually didn't seem all that disgusted by the scene.
" Just what on earth is happening to us?" he mumbled with clear doubt and apprehension in his eyes.
The thick smell of blood and flesh that wafted the air instead smelt like an enticing aroma, Even he himself was being attracted towards it, his hunger unconsciously growing as well leaving him stunned.
Some scorpion can actually go an entire year without food, which is why unlike Zara, Chinonso isn't that much compelled to eat.
" Hahaha so that's it huh, not only have we gotten the bodies of monster's, our sense's, physical state and mental state are slowly being pushed towards the monster side....." Chinonso said jokingly only for his voice to turn grim at the end.
He slammed his left pincer on the side of his face being while being careful to avoid the 5 eyes on the side, with frustration clearly written on his already terrifying scorpion face" So in retrospect that just means the longer we live the stronger our monster urges grow or is it just an occurrence that happens when one hasn't eaten and is starved or hungry?"
" Arrrrrrghhh, I seriously ain't getting anything about this whole monster crap" He groaned in annoyance.
" Might as well ask the so called system instead..." He mumbled.
" Evo Ai..." He said calmly and immediately an automated voice was heard.
«[Yes how can I be of service My liege]»
" Please just skip the darn formalities and tell me why the hell my sister over there is acting like a lion who hasn't eaten for months!" Chinonso pointed towards Zara only to feel that something was wrong.
" When did she suddenly get bigger‽"he exclaimed in shock, his sister lay'd comfortable on a grassy area to rest and on looking at her Chinonso noticed that she had gotten quite bigger unlike a few moments ago.
If she was 2 meters long earlier, now she was 3 meters long instead!.
For a crocodile it wasn't much, being a scorpion it was known that the world's biggest scorpion, Gigantometrus Swammerdami, commonly called the giant forest scorpion, is a scorpion belonging to the family Scorpionidae. It is native to India and is the world's largest scorpion species with 23 cm (9 inch) in length and weighs 56 g (2.0 oz).
Chinonso was already at an astonishing 2 meters in length which was approximately 78.74 inches!.
Moreover he was equipped with 30 pectineal teeth and 12 eyes, a pair in the middle of his face and 5 on each of the side's of his face respectively, similar to a spider since both were arachnids but instead the former had 12 while the latter had 8.
«[My liege don't be flustered her change is only natural–]»
"Natural?!!, you call that natural?, tell me who on earth grows about 1 meters in the blink of an eye!"
«[My liege please calm yourself, I suppose you've forgotten but she's no longer a human at the moment, it's only natural for her to grow as she devours prey]»
«[Moreover in the prior battle from earlier she had also absorbed a required amount of negative points in turn boasting her level as well]»
"..."
Chinonso turned silent on hearing what the voice just said, he already knew about the prospects of leveling and having been reminded of the fact that they really weren't humans anymore he didn't know what else to say.
Chinonso looked at his sister who seemed to be resting, maybe even half asleep and let out a breath, feeling a bit relived that she wasn't suffering any discomfort from the sudden change.
After a brief moment of silence something suddenly clicked within him, With a grim expression he asked the voice once more. " Can you tell what level she's currently at?...."
«[Certainly my liege, on normal occasion it's not possible to view another EVO'S level but since you, player 2, 3 and 4 are linked I can easily assert her level]»
" Sure sure whatever, but what's her level!"
«[It's Just Level 3 my liege no need to be alarmed]»
" And what about mine?"
«[You are currently still at level 0 my liege]»
"...."
«[Uhh My liege...are you ok]»
«[My liege?..]»
«[My liege...]» The system called out once more before Chinonso finally answered.
" Hey system..., I know this is a dum question to ask but if I and her where to face of against each other who would turn out as the victor?"
«[Well my liege it pains me to say it but she would be the victor..., Though if it were a fight to the death you would probably turn up victorious....]»
' To put it plainly, I can't smack her for now....'
"I see..." Chinonso said flatly, he crossed his pincers over each other as if intertwining his fingers, his face looking gloomier than ever.
" Show me my profile page..." Chinonso said.
«[Of course my liege]» The system replied before a whole new panel filled with intricate data emerged before Chinonso.
