After devouring all the mangled corpses, Reign finally reached level 10. He hurriedly checked his stats to see if he had gained Evolution Points.

============

"Finally!" Reign grinned sadistically after seeing his long-awaited evolution.

[Skull Master: The evolved version of Skull Fiend, boasting mastery over bones. With the ability to manipulate and reconstruct every bone within its body, turning them into formidable weapons. ]

— >Enhance Bones: This skill allows the host to strengthen his skeletal structure, increasing his overall durability and resistance to physical attacks temporarily. Additionally, it grants the ability to channel energy through the bones, enhancing their offensive capabilities in combat.

He walked towards the five dead divergents, saving them for last .

They weren't ordinary humans, so he expected better benefits from devouring them. At the same time, he could test out his new skill, "Bone Eater."

He approached the lifeless head of the girl with the bow, lifting her head to reveal her face.

Despite her untimely death, he couldn't help but notice her young and beautiful appearance. Unfortunately, she was unlucky enough to meet Reign.

"Yeah, I'll give you special treatment for insulting me before," Reign chuckled darkly before opening his mouth wide and crunching down on the girl's head. He decided against using Bone Eater on her.

Her brain matter overflowed in hiss mouth, and a sense of elation washed over him. He had always been vengeful, and he remembered her mocking words vividly.

He waited for something to happen, but unfortunately, nothing did. Disappointed, he proceeded to devour the remaining mangled corpse of the girl, but still, nothing occurred.

'Talk about useless,' he sighed in frustration, shifting his attention to the one with the sledgehammer.

This time, he decided to use "Bone Eater."

As soon as he touched the corpse, it began to be absorbed by his hands.

The intriguing part was that he could still taste everything as if he were eating it, but the sensation was akin to gulping down a milkshake.

Once everything was finished, only the clothing remained, along with the blood on the floor. It appeared that "Bone Eater" was not fond of blood.

"Also nothing?" Reign grumbled, feeling more frustrated. But he quickly shook his head, dismissing the disappointment, and turned his attention to Ben.

Among the five, Ben was the only one he was truly impressed by. Rodnick's drug use disqualified him from consideration.

When he touched Ben's body he felt that something was different on him , and a notification actually pop up.

[System : Mutation Option Available ]

>> Serpent Eyes

'Serpent Eyes?' Reign asked, his tone puzzled. He was certain Ben hadn't use any breathing techniques, so why did he possess Hunter Organs?

Little did Reign know that Ben, harbored a secret legacy from his father.

Before going AWOL, Ben was destined to follow in his father's footsteps as a hunter.

However, circumstances intervened, leaving his legacy incomplete. Despite this, a fragment of his father's gift lingered within him, manifesting in the unique ability of his eyes.

[System: Serpent Eyes have a lower quality than Mantis Eye. Would you like to absorb it to enhance the effectiveness of Mantis Eyes?]

"Hell yeah!" Reign exclaimed.

Mantis Eyes had proven incredibly helpful; in fact, it was the sole reason he could dodge bullets and take on multiple opponents simultaneously.

Mantis Eyes [20%] > [25%]

The improvement was marginal, but for Reign, who had no other means to enhance his mutated abilities, a 5% boost was more than satisfactory.

After finishing with Ben, Reign moved on to devour Jones.

He was hoping for further mutations, however no notification came up .

Finally, it was Rodnick's turn.

'Is his meat gonna taste bad?' he pondered silently.

Rodnick had ingested unknown drugs before his death, leaving Reign apprehensive about potential effects on the taste and, worst-case scenario, any adverse side effects he might experience.

But in the end, he chose to place his trust in his own body. The thought of meeting his death just from eating a corpse of a drug addict was absurd .

[System: Warning]

'Fuck'
