Chapter 35: Inferior Praying Mantis (rare)

"Mommy, it's me", utters the other child on the ceiling.

Shiver was all the mother and son could felt as they saw the other child on the ceiling which looked identical to the child on the bed. This shiver was then turned into fear as they saw the movement of the child.

His head moves clockwise and twists completely! but instead of feeling pain from having his head twisted, the child on the ceiling is grinning widely, while looking at the frightened faces of mother-son.

"ahhhhh!"

Soon, a scream was heard as the mother cant contain her fear anymore and started running outside the room while gripping her child tightly.

Fear was written all over her face as she imagined that the child on the ceiling would follow her, and worst, kill her and her son.

But as if denying her expectation, she reached the outside of her house safely, with no wounds nor blood gushing from her nor his son's body.

Meaning, the child did not follow her at all. Albeit, she continued running until she saw crowds of people, only then did she feel somewhat secured.

------

Meanwhile, the child on the ceiling just watched the mother-son leave the house, screaming so profoundly.

'kiki..kiki..kiki..'

A chuckle was heard coming out from the child's mouth as he saw the terrified mother-son leave the house completely and screamed like a madman.

Soon, the child fixed his head then land on the floor and started twitching extensively.

A later while, the child's body started to change form and soon turned into a woman's body, which looked identical to the mother earlier.

After the transformation, the now woman-looking monster starts walking out of the house then blends with people outside, whose faces are as calm as ever not noticing anything unusual in particular.

The next day, news about certain 'monster' transforming and mimicking people goes viral. The government of each country also speedup their enforcement and strengthening their forces while looking and searching for a monster that may linger within their nation.

Also, the common Earthlings are all wary of the people they are interacting with, especially because there's a possibility that they may be talking to someone's doppelganger instead.

Though that's the case, people somewhat felt glad that it was the first monster to ever appeared on Earth as it was not hurting humans at all, cause what if a zombie appeared instead? Or a ruthless horde of goblin? Wouldn't humanity suffer immense damage by then?

Thus, panic and fear are imprinted on the faces of humanity as they are longing for an apparent hope to fight for them. And who could those hopes be?

It's no other than, the chosen!

--------

Meanwhile, on World of Luck...

Chosen's has been hunting diligently for 2 days. Though they were worried about their families well-being, they could not log out since there's 1 month restriction, hence they chose to strengthen themselves for that 1 month.

On the Feral Ogre hunting ground, Adam and Samantha has been hunting Ogre's as well...

After killing the lone Feral Ogre that they encountered on the outskirts of the forest, they continued digging deeper on the hunting ground.

Soon, they met two Feral Ogre's, only this time, Samantha didnt attack immediately and spoke instead.

"I'll take the one on the right, and you'll fight the other.", said Samantha while looking at Adam.

The latter just nod his head as response and begin his preparation.

Adam introduced himself earlier as a summoner, but of course, he wont be summoning Greed as he is so human-like and may raise some intricacy.

Similarly, summoning/changing his coin into Dark Wolve's form is also not an option as it is a level 200 monster which do not suit Adam at all who's only level 119.

Hence, while Samantha begin to lunge on one of the Feral Ogre, Adam discreetly summon his coin then change it to a monster form...

[ Monster's list:

Dark Wolf (rare)

- skill: Lesser Poison Fang

Inferior Praying Mantis (rare)

- skill: Enhance Claw ]

Since the skill #4: Monster Duplicator was upgraded, a skill of a duplicated monster can now be copied.

Dark Wolf's form gained a skill that was randomly duplicated, namely: Lesser Poison Fang which gives the wolf a poison damage.

Also, earlier, Adam had stopped on a Praying Mantis hunting ground whose monsters were level 130.

Praying Mantis has a sharp claw which they usually use for attacking/cutting enemies. Though they are only level 130 monster, an Inferior Praying Mantis which is a rare type could fight head-on with a normal grade monster Feral Ogre who are level 150.

Also, the Mantis was 160 cm tall, and almost same height as Adam, hence, Adam chose to summon an Inferior Praying Mantis to deal with the other Ogre.

Soon, while Samantha was about to brandish her scythe on the ogre, Adam had summoned his coin and turned it into Inferior Praying Mantis.

The Mantis then appeared and stood beside Adam.

The latter somewhat feel uncomfortable having a Mantis of almost same height standing beside him.

At last, Adam issued his order and the Mantis started lunging on the other Ogre.

The movement of the Mantis was also nimble as it had six legs, with their 4 back legs used to walk, and another two front legs which had sharp claws for hunting.

Soon, when the other Ogre saw the lunging Mantis, it also began to thrust and face the former head-on.

Meanwhile, Samantha had already killed the other Ogre. She then stood and shifted her gaze towards the fight between Ogre and Mantis, as she was curious at Adam's Summoned ability.

A while later, the Ogre began to withdrew its hand which holds a club, seemingly aiming for attack. But alas, while its hand was still suspended in the air and before it could even thrust its club, the Mantis' movement accelerated then instantly stretch its claws and behead the ogre swiftly.

This scene was of course noticed by Samantha and she got confused about something...

'Did the Mantis just accelerate?', she thought bewilderedly as Mantis was known only for its skills which focused on sharp claws, hence, a sudden acceleration was clearly not part of its ability.

'Is he also a Special Summoner?', Samantha thought with eyes flickering with excitement. 'Its indeed a smart choice inviting him on a party', she added

On the other hand, Adam was satisfied with the result of his experimentation.

Earlier, Adam only supplied 150,000 mana on the Mantis which he soon increased to 200,000 abruptly when the Ogre raised its club.

As a result, the Mantis accelerated suddenly which caught the Ogre unprepared and die helplessly, as the enhanced claw skill was also activated.

On the upgrade of the skill#4 Monster Duplicator, his mastery of the skill also increases, hence, he can now concentrate which attribute is to be enhanced with mana.

Like earlier, he focused the enhancement mainly on agility of the Mantis, so in result, its speed spiked suddenly.

Soon, after contemplating, he then looked towards Samantha whose eyes were gleaming with excitement.

'Weirdo', Adam thought as he reminisced the scene from earlier where Samantha walked nearer while quivering. 'Creepy', he thought as he felt a shiver down his spine
