Chapter 18: A Shoggoth's Power

-----

As the monsters slowly gathered around Chaos, the young Vampire Dragon decided to check the status of his Summon and new friend and ally, Abyss.

Through the use of Appraisal a person can see the information of another, usually, it is not the entire status sheet but things such as Existence Realm, name, or Faction, however, because Chaos is the Summoner of Abyss, he is capable of seeing her entire information in detail.

<Description>

A Shoggoth is an intelligent, gelatinous blob that can reshape itself at will. Created by an elder race as servants, the Shoggoths rebelled long ago and slew their masters without pity. Since that time, they've lived in isolated or desolate regions, devouring whatever they encounter and absorbing its flesh into their own amorphous, shifting forms.

…

It was way more than Chaos expected!

Although he was stronger than her, she was still rather strong by herself, especially because she was a Pseudo Demi Deity like him…

She also held special Abilities unique to her Shoggoth Race, which seemed to give her the ability to devour and absorb the corpses of what she kills into her body, this being her primary method of feeding and growing stronger.

Instead of Chaos's ability to eat anything and assimilate their power as Skills, Abyss seemed to simply assimilate them into her body to make herself even bigger and monstrous.

Her Anaerobic Ability let her survive in the vacuum of space or the depth of water. Chaos wondered if he could do the same, perhaps, as he didn't felt like he needed to breathe nor he was particularly weak to freezing temperatures.

Chaos decided to check each of her Abilities in detail, as Abyss blushed cutely as she noticed that her master was intensively staring at her beauty.

[Unique Skill: Abyss]

The Unique Skill that only those whose existence embodies a part of the abyss itself possess.

It grants the user the ability to become an abyss itself, anyone that dares to peer into it without the permission of the holder might get any effect or power that they're trying to inflict through sight-based abilities reflected upon them with greater and stronger effectiveness.

[Unique Skill: Miasma Soul]

The Unique Skill that only a being whose soul is composed of Miasma itself possesses, granting unique capabilities.

As the user's soul is Miasma itself, it cannot be damaged by simple means. Any elemental-based attack will suffer a strong damage reduction to the user's soul or body, grants complete immunity to any kind of soul-possessing abilities, mind-controlling powers, and status effects that cause damage to the mind.

Additionally, the soul of the user cannot be easily shattered, as its entire mass is like slime, and it cannot be torn apart into pieces with ease.

[Anaerobic: Level 1]

The Ability that an entity unfazed by the changes of environment possess, giving them the power to be as comfortable in the depths of the oceans or the vacuum of space.

[Absorb Flesh: Level 1]

Grants the ability to assimilate any corpse or half-dead being into the user's body for nourishment and the increase of strength through stats and mass, helping the user grow bigger.

[Amorphous: Level 1]

The Ability that a being that is unfazed by size requirements possesses, grants the power to shapeshift into any size, even being able to pass through the smallest of crevices. The ultimate size-changing Ability.

[Constant Growth: Level 1]

Grants the user the ability to constantly grow grotesquely as its mass expands through the use of saved up excess mass from absorbing flesh from the prey, growing bigger and stronger, and gaining an upper hand in battle.

[Mutable Form: Level 1]

Grants the user the ability to mutate its form to any shape and size, although it cannot remain with a shape that is not its base form or the chosen humanoid appearance. Previously registered shapes and appearances from assimilated flesh from corpses can be used to partially shapeshift into their body parts.

[Hideous Songstress: Level 1]

The hideous sounds that the user of this Ability makes contain mind-breaking capabilities that can even inflict powerful negative status effects on anyone that listen to it.

Anyone that listens to the user's songs will be inflicted with lower stats, confusion, and more, however, the user can choose who to target more.

<Skills>

[Multi-Attack]

Unleash an attack that contains multiple limbs, tentacles, and other body parts, inflicting multiple attacks and damage in a small lapse of time, damage calculated by Strength.

[Crushing Charge]

Charge with all of your Agility Stat towards your foe, crushing them with your body and all the weight and mass you've accumulated, trapping them beneath your body and inflicting constant damage based on Strength.

…

Indeed, Abyss was incredibly strong! Although she only had two attacking skills, both were simple yet effective, and her songs could be used as a way to weaken enemies too.

She lacked long-ranged damage, but Chaos assumed that she could fling her own slime at her enemies at fast speeds, perhaps.

"Master, do you like looking at Abyss?" asked Abyss while blushing. Chaos was left speechless as he didn't know what to say, feeling rather nervous to have such a pretty girl at his side.

However, as his face was expressionless and incredibly calm, Abyss only thought that he was a very charming young man.

Chaos mustered his words as he answered timidly, but his voice came out firm and unfaltering, despite his internal feelings being rather chaotic and nervous.

"Quite so, you're very cute Abyss," he said, as he mildly smiled, making Abyss skip a beat if she were to have a heart…!

"Uwah, master, you keep praising me so much, I might fall for you!" said Abyss while covering her face with her hands and averting her gaze from Chaos.

Chaos didn't know what to say but he ended mustering some words.

"I would be grateful to have someone like you at my side," he said, only making Abyss' love for him stronger with a few words!

Their meeting has been of only about half an hour, yet Chaos was unknowingly making Abyss feel even stronger feelings for him.

"Master!" said Abyss, as she jumped over Chaos and entangled him with her slimy body, kissing her with her long and grotesque jaw, as he felt grateful to have someone so expressive and affectionate at his side.

"Abyss, you really like to lick me, don't you?" he sighed, as Abyss tongues began to lick his face and his chest, leaving his clothes rather slippery.

"S-Sorry! I couldn't contain myself…" said Abyss, going back to her mildly humanoid form and sitting over Chaos lap.

"Can I sit here?" she asked.

"I don't see why not… Oh, everyone is here," said Chaos, as he pointed at the monsters that had gathered once more for him.

"Here they are my lord- Oh? I see that Abyss is already growing closer and closer with you! Perhaps some descendants wouldn't be a bad thing!" said Belphegor, eager to take care of little abominations.
