[Dragon Heart Rank: [Level V: Developing Adult Blood Dragon (Middle Stage)] has increased to [Upper Stage]!]

[All your stats have increased!]

[You learned the following Skills]

[Sonar Wave]: Produce a sonar wave from the sound made by your cry to expand the range of your detection.

[Spectral Attack]: Transform a small part of your soul into a specter and use it to attack, can deal direct damage into a foe's soul.

Chaos had a feast, he had eaten over a dozen of corpses, so many that he lost count after 64. Alongside that, he had drunk a considerable amount of delicious blood, so he felt rather healthy and filled with vitality.

He had gained only two Skills from eating so many bats, but it seemed that that's all they could offer to him, maybe if he were to eat a variant of these bats, he could get something else, but that was that for the moment.

These two Skills were rather interesting, although Sonar Wave wouldn't offer much as he had Auto Mapping and a greater natural perception that sonar could offer him, the Spectral Attack was interesting.

He tried using Sonar Wave, nonetheless, throwing a cry to the wall, and generating a tremendous shockwave that shook the wall that it hit, leaving several cracks over the robust and hard walls of the dungeon… it seemed that Chaos was so strong that he transformed a mere Sonar Wave into a powerful Sound-based weapon.

"Could it be? Does chaos have the same amazing voice as me? maybe we could sign together!" said Abyss with a dreamy and happy smile.

Chaos didn't know how to sing, so he felt embarrassed about trying it out, although his face was expressionless and stiff, even more like a vampire dragon form.

"Well… Maybe," he said, as he quickly tried out his other new Skill, Spectral Attack.

Suddenly, Chaos felt how his enormous and chaotic soul began to flow out of his claws, resembling a shadow and dark specter filled with chaos and miasma, and leaking it everywhere…

This was surely way more than a simple spectral attack… it seemed that any little skill would become a deadly weapon on Chaos' hands. He wondered if he could one day fuse them together…

CLASH!

He used his Spectral Attack to release a claw-shaped long-ranged spectral attack to the walls, leaving a tremendous wound over the wall, and piercing through the rock through several dozens of meters…

"L-Lord Chaos, that's amazing… But be aware that the dungeon may fall over us if you keep attacking the walls, they are the pillars that keep it up," said Belphegor, being as gentle as possible.

Chaos glanced at his claws overflowing with chaotic spectral soul, and quickly deactivate the Skill.

"Sorry about that," he said, as he quickly decided to save the rest of the corpses inside his Inventory, after letting Abyss have her fill too. She had gained a lot of mass, but her size remained the same, as she was able to compress this mass for later usage in battle.

Of course, Chaos could easily eat the rest without a problem, but he wanted to save this meat for the Orcs or the other members of the castle, and well, also to use as materials for summons, more than anything… Well, he still thought about the Orcs and the young Orc children and babies, so he wanted to give them a share too. Chaos didn't consider himself a good person, but he was considerate towards those that served him. He didn't know if the other non-flesh servants needed to eat to sustain themselves though, as he had seen how they only needed his mana to maintain themselves.

After everything was saved up, Chaos began to walk slowly through the dark caves, walking to the cave that they had reached, whose ceiling was around 40 meters above the floor, it was certainly an immense underground structure.

The rock that made most of the cave was black and gray, just like the one on the surface, and there were glowing blue crystals above the ceiling, named Magic Crystals, low-grade magic materials.

Chaos, of course, was a gluttonous being, so he quickly flew upwards and used his claws to destroy the ceiling a bit, making a rain of crystals fall over the floor.

"Oh my lord seems interested in everything, that's good! B-But be more careful!" said Belphegor, evading the boulders falling from above.

Abyss simply let the boulders fall over her as she devoured them, she didn't seem to mind getting splattered and even found it fun.

"Sorry about that, just thought that all of this could be a good material too," said Chaos, as in the next 10 minutes he spent cleaning the entire ceiling of glowing crystals, leaving boulders everywhere and then saving the piles of crystals one by one.

He decided to devour a few hundred until he got something.

Ding!

[You learned the following Skill]

[Magic Crystal Coverture]: Coat yourself in magic crystals to enhance your defense and magic damage, which will dissipate into mana after they fall apart.

…

"Interesting…"

Chaos quickly covered himself with this Skill, resembling a crimson-red crystal dragon.

He was shining so brightly he illuminated the entire cave…

"It is a bit stiff to walk with crystals covering every inch…" said Chaos, as he quickly shook his body, making all the red crystals fall apart and dissipate into magic dust.

"My lord can get just any skill from anything it eats… even low grade magic crystals work… I am sure that Master Ainz would be fascinated with doing research about such powers…" said Belphegor with admiration.

"I would like to help father with his research…" said Chaos, as the trio finally reached a part of the dungeon that were not just dark caves, which ended splitting in three directions!

The straight direction led to a volcanic cave filled with pools of lava and fire.

The right direction led to a humid cave filled with mushrooms.

And the left direction led to an underground jungle!

"Which direction?" wondered Chaos.
