Chapter 91: Sudden Rewards?

[Enough distance has been crossed.]

[You have left the Tyl Planet.]

[A Side-Quest has been issued!]

[The Side-Quest “More is better!” comes to an end!]

[List Of Accomplishments:

You have defeated a Granilith Tribe’s Alpha.

A new Alpha has been appointed because of your actions.

You have defeated 31 Graniliths and 19 Wizzos.

The Eco-System has been greatly affected by your actions!

You have...]

Being bothered now was a bit annoying, but seeing the list of accomplishments, the Paru was happy to accept whatever reward would come his way.

The last achievement made him freeze for a moment though.

[You have impregnated 2 Female Graniliths.]

‘Well, shit... Doing it just once was enough to impregnate them?’

The Paru scratched his head.

Despite him looking away, Raya had continued looking at his face.

A moment later, she caught it from the corner of her eye.

Just beyond where the Paru was standing.

The bath.

Raya was immediately reminded of their time in this same place.

That time, she had shown herself completely naked and right away.

Not only that, but she had found it exciting. Exhilarating. Arousing.

Raya had taken a seat at the edge of that bath, and spread her legs suddenly, exposing herself in front of the Paru.

Remembering this, she blushed heavily and buried her face against his body.

“Mmm... It can’t be comfortable lying on your back though, right? With that shell of yours...” Raya muttered.

The Paru scratched his chin.

“Can you do something about that?” She inquired, showing obvious signs of interest, both scientific and sexual.

‘I’ll use that last Skill Point I have on my Devour Skill.’

[1 Skill Point has been used.]

[Your Skill “Devour Lv.4” becomes “Devour Lv.5”!]

[A low quantity of matter can be absorbed and Devoured through your pores.]

‘Just like how my Invisibility can now make things on my skin disappear, like drops of blood... That was probably a Merger of Devour and Invisibility already. Good.’

The Paru’s gaze moved towards Raya’s excited face. He nodded.

‘A shell is pretty annoying anyways. It does limit mobility. Still, it’s not like I’ll get rid of it.’

A crack appeared on the shell that covered the Paru’s back and,

“C-Can I see?” Raya asked, her eyes sparkling and her cheeks flushing.

The Paru nodded, and she hopped towards him before positioning herself behind him.

Cracks appeared on the Paru’s shell, and it slowly but surely,

“Merging with the Granilith’s skin...? The shell being controlled this way is similar to the Wizzo’s ability. How fascinating...” Raya muttered as more of the shell cracked and was absorbed. “To turn their limbs into sharp blades made of their tough bones means that their cells or, at least, some of them remain stem cells even after developing. Cells that keep the ability and potential to differentiate into other types of cells... They keep that ability even once having turned their limbs into sharp blades, as they also, afterwards, turn those sharp blades into limbs of muscle and flesh. It’s an incredible feat...”

And right before her eyes, another Species was accomplishing something on a similar, if not higher level.

By the time that the shell completely disappeared, about two minutes had passed.

The shell hadn’t been discarded, but absorbed by the Paru’s jagged skin to strengthen it.

While the rest of his body had a sandish color, his back, lower back, nape, triceps, rear deltoids, as well as the sides of his neck, waist, and ribs had now gained a grayish color through absorbing the shell.

The Paru pulled his arms back, and it felt good. The mobility-limiting shell was gone, but its protective aspect remained.

[Defense Stat: 295.]

Still lower than when most of his body was covered by the shell, but it was a sacrifice that was well worth the increase in strength, speed, and mobility.

Plus...

‘Invisibility wasn’t the only thing influenced by other Skills I gained, other cells I devoured...’ The Paru thought as he turned towards Raya, who had been stroking and touching the gray parts of his body with wonder and awe. ‘Stem cells...’
