5 The Truth about the Fores

.

.

.

In the middle of the night.

Baaam! Crash!

"Squeeeeeaak!"

I woke over a loud noise that filled my den!

"Wh-what is going on? Uuuuwawawa!! Birds! What are you doing on my precius lair you feathered bastards! You choose the wrong bug to pick a fight with!"

When I woke I found two big birds inside my lair, they destroyed the ceiling and my beautiful thread decorations, so awful!

"You damned chickens! You deserve to die! Rimuru, attack!"

"Guuuuuuuguguuu!"

Flash

Rimuru started to consume big amounts of Stamina and increased his speed, using the same tactic with the River Emperor, it created after-images of himself and distracted the damned birds.

"Well done! I'll have chicken for breakfast! Activate skill WATER SPEAR! Taaaaake this!!!"

Flash!

Crash!

Baaam!

"Squeeeeeeeaaakkk!!!!"

A incredibly large Water Spear crashed over the largest bird and it keept running on his back crashing on two more!

"Haha! Thats what I call killing tree birds in one Water Spear! (Th-that was so laaame...)"

"Squuueeaak!"

Flash!

Boom!

Just out of the blue a big bird hit me with his feet right on my back! It threw me down to the ground at full speed!

CRRRAAASH!

"Guueeehh!"

Another two birds came right after me for the final blow!

"Th-this is bad! Activate WATER SHIELD regeneration! Activate RIVER EMPEROR IRONG BODY! Activate RIVER EMPEROR PRESSURE!"

BAAAAAM!!

An incredible pressure started to emerge from my body and some weaker birds started to tremble in fear! But the ones that were going for the kill didn't flinch at all!

CRRAAASSHH!

BOOOOM!!

"GUUUUUUUEEEEHHHH! AAAAAAAHHH! I need to hold off, what with this tandem attack of them?! But I got you right in front of me now! Combine skill! RIVER KING STRONG JAW and STRONG BITE! "

CRUNCH!

"Squeeeeeeeaaaakk!!!!"

Using the combined strength of my two jaw related skills I was able to destroy the two birds legs completely, they cries in pain made some of the birds raiding my nest run away in fear!

" WATER SPEAR! WATER SPEAR!"

BAAM! BAAM!

The two birds were completely blasted right in front of me. Incredible amounts of blood sprouted from they destroyed bodies and covered my body entirely!

| YOU GAINED 608 EXP! | | PARTY MEMBER: SERVANT RIMURU GAINED 304 EXP! |

| YOU GAINED ONE LEVEL! | | LEVEL 10/20 EXP 131/850 |

"Haha, thats whats you get for messing with my things... Uugh this is disgusting... Rimuru? are you okay?!"

"Guuuu..."

I looked at Rimuru to find him being pecked over by a gang of strong birds, his hp was almost gone!

"Rimuru! Noo! Youd damned bastards!!"

I flew at max speed to attack the birds ganging on Rimuru and activated WATER SPEAR repeatedly!

Flash!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Squeeeaaaackk!!!" "Squuuuuuuuuuack!" "Squuuuuuuack!"

Crash! Crash! Crash!

Three big birds were blasted completely and they blood covered the entire lair, even Rimuru!

After the blood jumped over his body, Rimuru started to absorb it like a sponge and its hp quickly recovered by a little!

"Rimuuruuu! Are you fine? Here! WATER ELEMENT MAGIC!"

A big splash of water hit Rimuru and his little body quickly absorbed it, restoring his HP entirely.

"Guuguuu!"

Rimuru started to jump in happyness after recovering, but things didnt lasted for long as three big birds tried a sneak attack on our backs!

"Geek! How many of you came here? What the hell is going on?! Also Rimuru learned skills from just absorbing blood? Thats pretty cheat!"

One bird came right before and tried to kick me over with a strong tackle!

Boom!

"Squeeack?!"

The bird stayed still on the impact and my body didnt moved a inch, when the bird looked over his feet to see it completely destroyed!

"Haha you really thought that something like that would work a second time, you chicken bastards?! You have seriusly angered me now!"

Flaaaash!

A strong red aura started to flow outside of my diminute butterfly body!

"RIVER KING STRONG BODY and RIVER EMPEROR IRON BODY! plus WATER ELEMENT ARMOR! This is my best defensive mode! Care to take a taste?! RIVER KING STRONG CLAWS!"

SLASH! BOOM!

A big claw made of red energy completely slashed the big bird in front of me into pieces!

| YOU GAINED 306 EXP | | PARTY MEMBER: SERVANT RIMURU GAINED 153 EXP |

| KIREINA EXP 491/900 | | SERVANT RIMURU EXP 940/000 |

Splaash!

Rimuru didn't slacked off and quickly disposed of the two big birds with his new physical skill BIG BIRD STRONG TACKLE in combination with RIVER EMPEROR IRON BODY temporal buff!

"GUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"

BAAAM! BAAAM!

"Squeeeeeeecckkk...!!!"

The Birds were completely knocked out by Rimuru tackle and died on the spot!

| YOU GAINED 306 EXP FROM PARTY MEMBER: SERVANT RIMURU |

| PARTY MEMBER: SERVANT RIMURU GAINED 612 EXP |

| KIREINA EXP 797/900 | | SERVANT RIMURU EXP 1552/000 |

"Haaah.. this mysterious raid ended up being a good way to grind, but what's wrong with these birds? Why did they raid our nest all of the sudden? What the hell is going on?"

"Guuu..."

The nest stayed still for some seconds as every strong bird was killed, the weaker ones ran away or passed out from the fear generated from my RIVER KING PRESSURE.

I quickly fled to the outside and saw a bunch of weaker birds flying away.

"Yeah! Get the fuck out of my house! Who do you think I am?!"

"Guuuuuu!"

"This raid came out of nowhere! Also why did these birds attacked? I still cant understand! My little nest is just inside some old and decaying tree, no one should be able to notice it, and even so what would they even hunt? Just a little butterfly that cant even fill they bellies! All of this really gives me a bad feeling, as if someone ordered those birds to attack us... Maybe theres some evolved bird that sensed my strength and tried to get rid of me easily?"

I started to comprehend the truth about this forest and the monster inhabiting it, it seems like every Emperor level monster fight each other for territory, and because of my recent evolution and my victory over the River Emperor I am being targeted now!

"No way... I hope this is just a theory, if it's really the truth, then every Emperor type monster will start to target me from now on! This is a nightmare! What do I do Rimuru?"

"Guuguuguuu!!"

"Eeh? You think we should fight? Bu-but it's too dangerous! At least we need multiple backup plans, and more minions, also this place is not safe anymore! We should go look for a new old tree to stay in... let's go Rimuru..."

"Guuu..."

And so we headed outside in look for a new old tree to call home, I looked over my old and destroyed nest, were I slept so many nights as a Caterpillar, and a little grievance bloomed in my heart.

"Sigh... Well, it doesn't matter! I still got you Rimuru! I need to keep going in life, I can't stop and cry over my destroyed house like some baby! Let's go!"

"Guuuuu!"

Rimuru jumped showing a happy expression.

After eating half of the strong bird's meat I let Rimuru eat the rest of it and the weaker birds that were still alive.

And so we started our journey to find a new home.

| DAY 8 |

"Haaah... we have been wondering since we were attacked and now its already morning, there isnt really any other comfy looking old tree to stay in?"

"Guu..."

Since we left the old we have wondered for hours with Rimuru, for some reason we havent seen any old tree that can fit my high standards.

"Its just that the old one was just so perfect! This is really unfair!"

"Geeeh.."

"Wh-what was that Rimuru?"

"Guuururu!"

"Hmmph, anyways. Maybe a cave could be a nice and big place to stay in considering that we will start increasing our party members pretty soon right?"

"Guu! Guu!"

Rimuru started to jump over the ground, trying to tell me something important.

"Eeh?"

"Woooof!"

In the distance behind some trees a big crimson wolf with a scar on his face was fighting a weaker looking one, the weaker one had a lot of wounds all over his body and seemed in the blink of dead.

"A wolf? and its red colored! I have never seen this type of monster before! I'll call them Crimson Wolf! Are they fighting over something? The big one seems atleast at Emperor level of power and that weak one seems like a novice King class, it seems that its about to die... Should I leave them alone?"

"Guuuuuuu!"

Without asking me Rimuru started running over the Wolves direction at max speed, it seems like he wants to help the weaker one!

"Wh-what?! Since when do you have a pity over weaker monsters you idiot?! Come back! Hey!

Good damn it! Allright just you wait! I'll spank you real good when this is over!"

I flew at max speed to rescue Rimuru and the big Crimson Wolf was about to give the weaker one the finishing blow, but right at this moment!

Flaaash! Baaam!

Rimuru hit the big Crimson Wolf right on his face with a strong BIG BIRD TACKLE.

"Awoooooo!!! Waaafrr!"

The Wolf was knocked out by Rimuru strength!

"Grrrrrrr!! Waaaaaffrr!"

The big Crimson Wolf opened his big jaw and attacked Rimuru!

Flash!

Baaam!

"Awwwoooo?!"

Without noticing, the big Crimson Wolf was hit by a big Water Spear that got him right on his back inflicting a big amount of damage!

"What? It didnt died after one Water Spear?! This guy is really a Emperor class monster of higher power than the River Emperor! So that River Emperor was probably the weakest Emperor on this forest? Are you kidding me?!"

Flash! Flash!

Baaam! Baaam!

I sent two more Water Spears right on his back again, the Crimson Wolf Emperor yelled in pain!

"Awoooooooooo!!"

Before it could recover some momentun Rimuru hit him with another sneak attack on the back of his head!

Claash!

"Graaaawwwrrrrrrrrr....!!!"

The Crimson Wolf Emperor was knocked out to atleast 4 meters away!

"Haha thats what you get you stupid Emperor! I know that you guys want to mess with me now that I killed one of yours! What do you say? Wanna join my army?"

The Crimson Wolf Emperor stood up and started to talk in my mind!

"I will never join the likes of such weaklings! And why did you interrupted my kill! You are a mere bug, what can you even acomplish?! I will show the other Emperors that you are no more than a joke and that worrying about you is just useless! I want to see that stupid Wyvern Overlord face when he sees your destroyed body in my jaws! Hahaha! Now brace yourself, TRASH!"

"HOW DID YOU JUST FUCKING CALLED ME YOU BRAINLESS MONSTER?! YOU HAVE GENIUNELY ANGERED ME NOW! PREPARE YOURSELF FOR HELL INCARNATE! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Rimuru! prepare yourself! Activate skill! ATTACK COMMAND and DEFENCE COMMAND!"

| PARTY MEMBER: SERVANT RIMURU ATTACK AND DEFENCE STAT HAVE INCREASED BY 20% |

"ACTIVE BUFFS! ACTIVATE! WATER SHIELD START REGENERATING AT ANY MOMENT! RIVER EMPEROR PRESSURE! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

I activated all my buffing skills and my water shield and went right for close attack to the Crimson Wolf Emperor! I have never felt this angered in my life so I entered on a berserk state not caring about tactics!

Flaaash!

My body completely dissapeared in front of the Crimson Wolf Emperor!

"Whhhat?! Such speed! How can a lower being like yourself achieve Emperor class buffs?! Wh-what are you?!"

BAAAAM!

"RIVER EMPEROR STRONG CLAW!"

"Guuuuaaaakkkkkk!!!!"

Without expecting it I hit the Crimson Wolf Emperor right behind his head with my strongest close combat attack!

The Emperor was knocked out some meters away but keept his composture!

"AMAZING! I think I have severly understimated you! HAHAHA! I WILL ALSO GIVE IT MY ALL! OUR FIGHT SHALL BE LEGENDARY!"

Fuoooshh!

The Emperor activated a myriad of increadible buffs boosting all his stats through the roof!

And incredibly opressive aura started to exude from his muscular body!

"Guuuaaakk! This guy is serius bussiness! Why did I went berserk over his provocation? I need to think on a clear strategy, I cannot go wild and die for nothing! Rimuru! use your after-images to distract him while I attack from the distance! When your Stamina runs low we'll exchange positions!"

"Guuuruuuuu!!!!!!!"

Rimuru seemed completely motivated and it started to use his Stamina and create after-images of himself!

"Eeeh?! Such a lower being can achieve so much speed! Hahaha! but its useless! I'll show you what strength really is! RAAAAA!"

CLASH!

The Emperor clashed with Rimuru's body but the big blow was interecepted by Rimuru's BIG BIRD TACKLE and a myriad of defensive buffs on his side! (RIVER EMPEROR IRON BODY, etc)

"Hand in there Rimuru! Water Affinity dont dissapoint me now! WATER ELEMENT MAGIC, WATER MANIPULATION, WATER SHOT and WATER SPEAR, combine!"

A big accumulation of water appeared over my body and I started to fuse different Water related skills on it, after some seconds I started to imagine different types of shapes, and the...

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A myriad of differen bullets shaped in the form of weapons started raining from the sky! Swords, Lances, Spears and Axes! It was a spectacle to behold!

More than ten water weapons crashed over the Wolf Emperor back! Big amounts of blood merged with his Crimson colored fur in a beautiful bright red!

"Gggraaaaawwrrr?!! Th-this is a very high level magic! How?!"

"BUAHAHA! What do you think Emperor?! I just came up with this brilliant idea! I call it Gate of Bjarmia! Care to take a taste? Here! You can eat all you want, the menu's on the house!"

Flaash! Flaash! Flaash!

Crash Crash Crash!

About eight weapon shaped water bullets rained over the Wolf Emperor at a speed that cut the wind itself!

"GUOOOOOOOHHHH!!!! You bastard! GAAAH! I cant take over this water being! Its stupidly sturdy, whats even his Defence stat?!"

"GUUUUUU!"

CLASH!

Rimuru hit the Wolf Emperor with a big tackle over his wounds on the back and absorbed the Emperor's blood!

"Sluuurp!"

Rimuru recovered a litle bit of Stamina and HP!

"What kind of cheap tactic is this you bastard water being! TAKE THIS! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

BAAAAAM!

Rimuru couldnt notice in time and was completely blasted by the Wolf Emperor Kick!

CRASH!

His little body crashed on a nearby tree and split it in half, over it Rimuru body seemed exhausted and almost becoming completely liquid.

"Guuuuruuu..."

"Rimuruuu! Here take this water bullet! Please recover!"

Flash! Bam!

Rimuru was hit with a massive water bullet and recovered 50% of his max HP!

"Allright lets exchange positions!"

"Guuuuuuuuuururururu!"

I exchanged positions with Rimuru and started a close combat brawl with the Wolf Emperor, his blows were completely in another level!

"Guahaha! You finally came to fight at close quarters! You are not bad for a mere bug!"

"RAAAAAAAAA! DONT CALL ME A BUG YOU BASTARD! I WILL KILL YOU! RIVER KING STRONG CLAWS!"

SLASH! SPLAT!

CRASH!

Just in this moment the Wolf Emperor clashed the Strong Claw with his own Claw related skills!

In the back, Rimuru was shooting water bullets, slowly draining the Wolf Emperor HP.

CLASH CLASH!

"Ghhhkk! How much HP does this monster have?! This guy is insane in every level! How could I even involve myself in such a dangerous situation?! God damn it! TAKE THIS! RIVER KING STRONG JAWS, STRONG BITE and RIVER KING STRONG CLAWS! Combine! RIVER EMPEROR JAWS AND CLAWS! RAAAAA!"

CLASH!

The Wolf Emperor couldn't respond in time and was blasted by a dual attack to the wounds on the back of his head!

"GRRAAAAAWRR!!! TH-THIS! I AM GOING TO LOSE?! NO WAY! NO WAAAAAAYYYY!!!!"

The Wolf Emperor entered on a berserk status and all his physical capabilities increased!

A very thick Crimson Red aura started to exude from his body and his eyes glowed with a bright red!

In the blink of an eye it flashed over my body and hit me so hard it blasted me across several trees!

BAAAM! BAAAM! CRASH! CRASH!

"GUUUUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

| SYSTEM MESSAGE: YOU ARE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, YOUR HP IS LOWER THAN 10% |

"Ye-yeah... Thanks for the useless reminder, not like it going to help, I lack any type of healing skill..."

Flash!

A Crimson red figure appeared ahead of me in mere seconds!

"That was a good fight, Undine Butterfly Kireina, but you are too weak. The strong wins and the weak dies and gets devoured, this is the basic rule of this world, now prepare yourself."

"Gaaack… Bahaha...! "

"What are you laughing at? You're close to die, yet you laugh at your own situation, don't you have any grievance?"

"What are you even talking brainless bastard, this is my win... Check mate..."

"You are talking nonse-"

"GUUUAAAAAAK!"

The Wolf Emperor started to spit big amounts of blood and his berserk form was deactivated!

It struggled to stand up but it didn't had any strength left on his limbs, as if his entire blood was completely drained!

"Wh-what did you do?! What?! How??!!"

"Hahaha... do all of you stupid monsters lack basic common sense...? All the attacks we did to you from long range with Rimuru were to drain your blood out, that's why I was always aiming at your wounds to make them worse and don't let them regenerate... stupid dog... die already..."

"N-no...! I am... The proud Crimson Wolf Emperor...! I can't... die... I... RAAAAAAA!"

"Th-this is bad...! I can't move..!"

As if using his last strength, the Wolf Emperor tried to rip me in pieces, but right at this moment!

CLAASH!

"GUUUAAAK...!"

A big water bullet hit the Crimson Wolf Emperor head and knocked him out, leaving it completely dead on the spot!

"Haha... well done Rimuru, all this fight was your fault, I am glad you killed the bastard..."

"Geeeeehh... guruuu..."

"Haah... my HP is back but my whole body still hurts like hell... Ugghh... I'm so hungry..."

I slowly moved near the dead Crimson Wolf Emperor body and started munching on him!

Munch Gulp

"Th-this meat... it's so good! This is better than any Wagyu beef I have ever tasted in my entire life! Aaaaaaaahhhh! I'm in heaven right now! My Stamina already recovered completely just from a few bites! This is such a miraculous meat! Here Rimuru, have a bite!"

I chopped a big piece of meat and shared it with Rimuru.

"Guuuuuguuuu!!!"

Rimuru absorbed the big piece of meat very slowly as if tasting every piece of it!

Rimuru Stamina quickly regenerated to the max!

"Guuuuuu!"

Rimuru started to look worried as if he forgot about something very important and started to run to the opposite direction of the fight.

"Guuuuu!"

"Rimuru...? Where are you going? Wait!"

After a while Rimuru came back with the weak Crimson Wolf King wich was originally fighting with the Emperor!

"Guuuuruuu!"

"Wh-what?! Who is that? Oh right the guy that almost died..."

Rimuru brought it close to the Emperor dead body and shared a piece of meat.

The Wolf King sniffed the meat and doubted if he should eat it, but after some time it started to munch on it!

"Uuh? is he really okay with cannibalism?"

Out of nowhere I heard a weak but polite voice in my mind.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, Master Kireina, I shall eat the meat of the former Emperor in order to celebrate the meeting with my master!"

"Wh-what?! Master? Me? well... if you really want to its fine I guess..."

As if incredibly happy, Wagyu started to move his tail.

"Master! I'm so honored to receive such a beautiful name from you! I shall be known as Wagyu from now on!"

"Hahaha... Yeah! ... It's boring if he doesn't get it... Never mind..."

"Ooohh? Oohohoho?! We all got amazing skills! We struggled so much Rimuru, but we did it!"

"Guuuuguguuu!"

Wagyu looked at me with doubt on his face.

"Excuse me, Master Kireina, but how was it possible for me to learn new skills after eating the former Emperor? I have never had such ability before in my life…"

"Oh? Ah right, this is some kind of special ability only for me! But if I grant any of my servants with a name, they can share it with me! Isn't it awesome? You're so lucky to have me as your Master, you will become extremely strong in the future! I'll make you work to the bone! Hahaha!"

Wagyu moved his tail in happiness and started to lick my little butterfly body.

Slurp slurp

"Thank you so much Master Kireina! And senior Rimuru! I will make sure to use this power to repay you for saving my life!"

"Guuuueehhh This is disgusting! Stop! I said stop, brainless dog! Gaaaaahh!"

Wagyu slowly stop licking my body and it sit down obediently on the ground.

"I'm sincerely sorry Master Kireina! It's just that this is the way that we, the Crimson Wolves, show affection to our beloved ones!"

"Sigh… Alright, stop making that sad face, I'll wrap the Emperor's meat and we will head to a new home, by the way Wagyu, do you know of any nearby cave to pass the night in?"

Wagyu stood from the ground and started to slowly walk to the East.

"Here Master Kireina, Senior Rimuru! I know of a good cave were I used to live with my family, come with me!"

"Guuuu!"

Rimuru followed Wagyu while jumping over, being happy about his new friend.

"Your family… do you mean that there will be more like you to take care of? No way…"

"You are misunderstanding Master Kireina, my family died days ago in the claws of the former Emperor… I was the only survivor…"

"Wh-what?! How can that be possible? Shouldn't the Emperor be protecting you all instead, why would he attack his own people?"

Wagyu stood still and looked at me with doubt on his face.

"Master Kireina, I don't know what kind of understanding you have over a real Emperor's duty, but Emperor class monsters don't protect his kind, it's the contrary, they order us to fight for them and die in horrible ways, they **** our women and kill our children."

"What?!"

"Yes, I was the best candidate for the next Emperor role on my family, before I could even challenge the former Emperor for the title, he attacked my family in advance and took me by surprise."

"Guu…"

"We fought for a long time but I was enraged over what he did to my mother and sisters, and how he devoured my father, so I couldn't think straight and was easily overpowered by him…"

"I was about to die in grievance, but that's where you two appeared out of nowhere to save me! I would be dead if it wasn't for you, and all that suffering would had been for nothing… My mother, my sisters, my father, they all wanted for me to live and become the new Emperor. To unify the Crimson Wolves in a true clan."

"Now that I am alive… I will become the next Emperor and unify my kind, we will become a clan!"

"A clan you say… Are you sure about that, Wagyu? Do you want to become the Emperor? Do you think that you have what it takes?"

"Master Kireina… I… I'm sorry if I came as disrespectful, that was not my intention…"

"What are you talking about, idiot? I'm not angry. I am just asking you straight. Do you want to become the Emperor?"

In front of Wagyu a system message appeared out of thin air.

| MASTER KIREINA HAS OFFERED: CRIMSON WOLF KING: WAGYU THE CRIMSON WOLF EMPEROR TITLE, DO YOU ACEPT? |

"Master Kireina… I… is it really true? Do you not mind?"

"Of course I don't, stupid dog. Now what do you say?"

"I accept! Thanks you so much Master Kireina! The future Crimson Wolf Clan shall be in your service for the rest of our lives!"

| CRIMSON WOLF KING: WAGYU ACEPTED THE TITLE OF: CRIMSON WOLF EMPEROR |

| YOU LOST THE TITLE: CRIMSON WOLF EMPEROR |

| CONGRATULATIONS! PARTY MEMBER: CRIMSON WOLF KING WAGYU HAS ACCOMPLISHED CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND CAN NOW BECOME EMPEROR CLASS MONSTER |

"Very well, tonight you two will evolve, I hope you get good evolution choices. Anyways, lets head to that cave Wagyu, it will become our new home from now on"

"Yes Master Kireina! But… the corpses of my family are still there… I…"

"Hmm? Do you want to bury them?"

"No, Master Kireina, if it's possible, can you let me eat them? This is a ritual that we Crimson Wolves do when a familiar die, we eat they meat, bones and organs so they can keep living inside of us and give us they strength."

"I see… Do as you please."

"Thank you so much Master Kireina, I shall go ahead then, the cave is just straight from here, its marked with a red paw mark, it will be easy to find"

"Go ahead then…"

"Yes!"

Flash

Wagyu went ahead at full speed.

"Sigh… I never thought that there would be such tragic stories in this world, I suppose every sentient being can suffer… I had the wrong idea of all this, I can see that its way darker…"

"Guuuguguuuuu!!!"

"Wh-what are you doing Rimuru?! Can't you let me finish my monologue at least?! Geez you stupid blob! Hahaha! Stop jumping over me!"

When we got to the cave Wagyu has already cleaned it entirely, he ate his family corpses quite fast. Sigh, it must have been hard for him.

I used my threads to accommodate some basic things on the cave, specially 3 beds.

Using some big stones I closed the entrance of the cave, so only I can open it.

"Alright, time for sleep you two! Tomorrow we will go looking for more minions… I mean allies! Yeah that! Haha!"

Before sleep I checked everyone's status.

"Damn I got so strong from all those level ups, and my skills are so many that the menu looks like a big mess, I wish there was a way to combine them and reduce the amount of skills. It would be easier to browse through, something like a Synthesis skill could work, hmm maybe if I eat a Alchemist? Haha but there's barely any humans in here and I bet they're completely insane power wise…"
