Chapter 200: Testing Merged Skills!

Just as the Paru was preparing to leave,

Croak! Croak!

Splash!

His eyes widened at the noise.

Clearly, one of the ponds occupied by Wizzos.

CROAK!

An Alpha was there as well.

‘Opposite direction of the one I came from to this tunnel.’

The Paru’s lips curled upwards as he cracked his neck.

“Best way to get over a hangover is working out and drinking water, right?”

There were still a couple of Skills to test out.

Upon finding the large pond, the first thing that Paru did was try to catch the Alpha’s attention without bringing the rest to himself.

Excluding the Alpha, there were six Wizzos.

‘Still a manageable amount with my current level of strength, but I’d rather focus on the Alpha and test stuff.’

Before, the Paru would have thrown something at the Alpha to catch its attention. But now, he had a better way of doing that.

Venomous Fangs X Infectious Cut X Blade of Bones Lv.2 X Fang Projection-

[You have Developed the Skill “Venomous Infectious Blade Projection” through “Skill Merge”!]

Both of his tentacles, aimed at the Alpha standing two dozen meters away, turned into short blades of bones. On their blade, pieces of flesh seemed to have solidified, which the Paru assumed were what caused the infection. The purple hue on top of that solidified skin was the venom.

With great force, the blades cut through the air and pierced the Alpha’s body.

‘Since it’s so big, it’s unlikely that these will do anything by themselves.’ The Paru turned away and started running. ‘But because it’s so big, it won’t think about taking them off, or pulling them out. Or rather, it’s not able to do that.’

The Alpha croaked loudly, and the portion of its body that remained under the pond’s water quickly emerged.

It pursued the Paru rapidly!

The latter ran for a couple of seconds before taking a sharp turn, using a tree to hide his next move.

The next moment, he ran forward as fast as he could, and thrust his blade arm covered by lightning into the Alpha’s body!

The blade cut through the Alpha’s skin and muscles like butter, and once the Paru felt the resistance increase,

Explosive Acceleration!

By using the Skill through both the holes in his ankles and those in his blade arm, the Paru managed to,

Swoosh!

Bleugh!

Splatter!

Completely pierced through the Alpha’s body.

The lightning dissipated, and the blade arm turned back to normal.

The Paru let out a satisfied sigh, as the Alpha’s body fell to the ground, bleeding heavily.

He rotated his right shoulder, turning towards the pond which was four dozen meters away.

Because they weren’t too far, the Wizzos had watched the fight go down.

Their first instinct when the Paru’s eyes laid on them...

“Good.”

Was to run away.

The Paru Devoured the Alpha as fast as he could.

He couldn’t possibly go back to the spaceship this way.

He still felt a bit dizzy, and was covered in blood.

Additionally, for the first time in a very long time, he felt dehydrated.

The Paru took hold of the bag in which lay unconscious creatures, and walked towards the pond which had been left empty, exclusively for him.

The pendant hanging from his neck dangled as he plunged into the water, feeling the dried blood stains that covered his body from defeating so many being washed away by the water.

‘I’ll go see Raya, then Lith, then Liz, then Roka, then Rea.’ He thought to himself, letting his body float at the surface lazily. ‘I’m not sure what I want to say to Roka yet, but I’ll figure it out on the way.’

The Paru stared at the clear water he was floating in for a moment, before taking a sip.

“Yeah...” He chuckled. “I kind of missed that.”
