When I woke up the next morning I was filled with energy and was ready to start the day with a blast the first thing I did in the morning was to exercise and few attacks with my claws and tail it was all so that I can get used to this body of mine, having been lived as a human for most of my life it was quite hard to get used to this new form of mine after some more of slashing the air with my claws I decided to head for breakfast after I was done with my breakfast I bid farewell to rimuru and others and headed in the direction of the sealed cave for my first hunt of the life.
It seems I was gathering to much attention in the city so I decided to flew directly to the sealed caves and I reached their in no time.
When I reached in front of the cave I was greeted by gabiru and his subbordinate that were waiting for me it seems, I quickly greeted all of them and conveyed my intention to quickly go inside of the cave.
when I reached deeper inside the cave I was greeted by the figure of a Armoursaurus it is a lizard like monster who specialises in defence and has a INTRENSIC SKILL known as BODY ARMOUR that increases physical defence of the body when it is used it's a really good skill and it will soon be mine and it will boost my already strong defences even more.
The thing about skills in this world is really different from various fictions I have seen, in most of the worlds the skill is decided from weak to strong meanwhile in this skills of same rank can worlds apart in their performance and utility not just skills of same rank, there are also some skills that are of lower rank but are way stronger than what their rank shows.
The main reason behind this difference between the skills of same rank is because in this world skills are not divided on the basis of strength but rather on the basis of the skills user or users for example a common rank skill is a type of skill that is possessd my most amount of individuals hence it is common where as skills like INTRENSIC skills and UNIQUE skills are only possessed by a certain species of people and other is so rare that it is only possessed by a single individual hence it is known as a unique skill.
Now hear comes the reason this topic started these intrensic skills are so species specific that their true potential can only be used by beings of that species.
It is also the main reason behind why rimuru took a chimera like form in the battle against hinata sakaguchi in the animated series, itwas so that he can use all those skills in their their highest potential.
Now for the reason I am talking about all this it's because it's because I am a dragon and thats why I fully compatible with most of the skills that exist in the world.
Now all attention to the overgrown lizard in front of me the moment it noticed me and the group of dragonnewts with me it turned towards us and started charging at us.
Dragonnewts tried to intercept it but I told them to stand down and I will be the one to handle it I knew that it was highly resistant to physical attacks that's why I decided to use my magic attack , for that I have two options one is my unique skill hell fire and the other is intrensic skill dragon breath they both are long ranged after few seconds of thinking I decided to use my dragon breath skill to get the job done because if I use my hell fire skill nothing will be left of the Armoursaurus.
I quickly prepared the dragon breath in my mouth and waited for the monster to come near me when he was about to reach me I opened my mouth and blasted him with the dragon breath point blank on the face.
It worked wonders for the Armoursaurus his whole face was gone from the body and in place of it was a hole that smelled like cooked chicken.
I quickly got near it and thought of using my DEVOVRER skill.
Do you wish to use UNIQUE SKILL DEVOVRER. YES
NO
I quickly choose YES and grey colored substance similar to blue colour substance or in future black coloured substance came out of my mouth and swallowed the whole of Armoursauruses body and disappeared.
Would you like to start the analysis of the Armoursaurus body.
YES
NO
I quickly choose YES and because the ASSISTANT skill was linked to the DEVOVRER skill with the help of parallel processing so the analysis of the body was super fast.
While I was moving deeper inside of the cave I got a notification that the analysis of the Armoursaurus body was finished and and I got a notification that the intrensic skill BODY ARMOUR successfully acquired.
And all the body of the monster was successful turned into magicules.
Even though I was borned as a lesser dragon my body looked nothing like one where lesser dragons mainly looked like wyverns or basilsk I looked like a full fledged dragon and the amount of magicules my body has was astonishing and it was suprising that I didn't evolve right after my hatching and the reason behind it seems that my body hasn't emrached maturity.
There were supposed to be three conditions for evolution from a lesser dragon
First was magicules count
Second is intelligence
and third is to have body that has reached its maturity
I already satisfyied two of the conditions but satisfying the condition of maturity will take years that's why I came up with a plan to eat monster to increase my magicules and force my body to evolve naturally it would be impossible to do so but I have stomach that can store large amounts of things in suspended time .
According to my personal AI I will have to over thirty four more Armoursaurus to gather desired amount of magicules and then I will use partial shape shift and self regeneration in succession to increase the size of my body and make it look like I am fully matured in essence I am practically creating a new body with the help of the magicules that I will acquire from these monsters.
This is the full proof plan I came up with for my evolution even my assistant was impressed and she helped in increasing the odds of the success of everything as much as he can .
I also proposed him the idea of giving him a name to make him evolve but according to him if I did that it would take me years to recover that amount of magicules after all
not everyone has a fucking true dragon in their stomach that constantly produces magicules and acts like a personal backup battery for them.
excluding rimuru beings like Milim and guy have magicule breeder reactor that produces infinite amounts of magicules for them and allows them to use a dense form of energy known as 'Stardust' energy.
It practically means these guys don't have to worry about the amount of magicules they expend and using Stardust as a output form of that energy they can use their skills at multiple times more effectively and can increase those skills efficiency by thousandfolds.
Even a common skill like water blade that rimuru uses in the cave can become powerful enough to slash through space if Stardust energy is used to activate the skill.
Ohh I remembered something I also have to remember those skills.
I quickly asked gabiru about where the large amounts of water are in this cave and he quickly led me there when we arrived I got a notification from my AI that this water is very rich in magicules and drinking half of it can povide me with enough magicules tlnecessary to evolve.
I quickly got to work and in my excitement jumped inside the lake and gabiru and his subbordinates stood there watching me go down gabiru also quickly jumped from the cliff and caught me mid air I hit him in the head and told him to unhand me but it seems he thought I was going to commit the unthinkable and after a lot of explanation he let me jump inside of the lake.
