Chapter 400 CH 386: GRINNING CAT

When the Pawn piece completely reformed inside the core of Adam's soul body and transformed itself into a rook piece, he began to have an understanding of the future path he would have to walk to follow the evolution pathway of the Dreamscape.

Pawn -- Rook -> Knight --> Bishop --->Queen.

Those were the pieces a pawn could usually become in a chess match. Finally, Adam's ultimate goal was to become the greatest piece.

The King.

"Huff..."

Breathing out deeply, Adam stood up from his lotus position, and from there, all sorts of sounds resounded from his body as though he was breaking and aligning everything inside of his body.

"Ugh..."

Unconsciously, a moan of pleasure leaked out from his lips. Even the best massage in the world could not bring him the feeling of lightness and freedom he was receiving from his body right now.

All the wounds that he had received were completely healed instantly at this moment, even his missing limb had returned right now. It was truly a wonder of magic like no other.

'Now I need to kill more Rooks to evolve my piece into its next form.'

He now knew what he had to do to achieve the next level of his chess piece. Like what he did initially, he needed to kill more and more enemies of a certain level to gather and harness their energy into himself and reform his chess piece once more.

But that wasn't all there was to it. Since he had gone through evolution, if he killed a pawn piece, he would only obtain Gaseous energy which would then need to be condensed in liquid before being assimilated into his body which was a very tedious process.

Moreover, in the process, some loss was inevitable for him. Furthermore, the purity was completely different as one unit of Rook energy was equal to 10 units of Pawn one on a figurative basis. Thus, more or less, killing ten Pawn was nearly equal to killing one Rook. When taking into account the loss of energy, he would need to kill at the very least fifteen of the pawns to get the equivalent energy of merely one rook.

"Did you guys grow taller?"

He tilted his head but his memory was telling him that they had indeed become taller. Furthermore, they seemed more substantial and more complete than before.

It was then that a stream of information reached his mind. Those were not words but more something akin to intent.

It was an intent filled with reverence and a desire for worship but at the same time — A feeling of love, devotion, and a desire of being recognized.

[Father.]

"Well..."

This shit suddenly became more complicated than he ever thought it could. Sadly, Adam was not able to give an immediate answer as an overwhelming feeling of danger filled his mind all of a sudden.

'What!?'

"Heh...You are really better than I thought. Kukuku~This is going to be quite fun."

Those were the last words he heard before a slight feeling of pain in his neck took him in a flash.

He was not able to respond as he felt his life leave him, still, even as death was approaching, and his blood soaked the ground, he forced himself to turn his head to see who had attacked him out of the blue.

All he saw... was a fluffy paw and a mocking large grin on the face of his attacker.

'A cat?'

In the end, he simply collapsed before being dragged out of the Dreamscape itself as the thought of the cat with a strange smile filled his mind.

Thus ended his adventure for this round...
