Volume 2 - CH 137

Chapter 3-52. Cast Off Dragon

Evolution destination: …… Cast Off Dragon …….

What do you mean by saying that? I don’t understand.

I wonder why the Voice of Heaven assigned the evolutiondestination only to that.

Are you mocking me?

Are you making fun of me?

No matter what you say, the fact that this is the only destination for evolution is of questionable value.

Why can’t they add at least one more evolutiondestination?

Anyhow, it seems that I have no choice but to become this Cast Off Dragon.

I used to have a proper species name, but suddenly I have a strange sounding name.

For now, I guess I’ll just have to become ……. I’m going to have to become this something cast off dragon thing.

“… Seriously …”

Trying not to think about it, I specified the destination of the evolution as the Cast Off Dragon.

“… Ouch. Atatatatattata! Oh my god, oh shit oh shit oh shit! ! ! ! 』

Instantly, a pain I had never felt before ran through my body.

It feels several times more painful than when I evolved into Daftworm.

I endure the pain while my body writhes and sprawls.

I don’t think I can endure the pain, but I manage to keep my consciousness from being knocked out.

The skeleton is reshaped, the body is strengthened, nerves are duplicated and added, and internal organs are drastically altered.

Various physical configurations were performed in an instant.

The head was once crumpled and then slowly reconstructed over time, as if moving a rusty cogwheel, while all the internal organs were enlarged and moved in place entirely.

As it moves, the skeleton is also being reshaped and apparently damaged inside.

However, the body is repeatedly regenerated and restored through physical reconstruction.

This is torture.

To put it in a nutshell, this pain may be more painful than torture.

When the pain finally subsided, I was in absolutely no condition to move.

I rested my body on the ground.

I might be able to move, but it was mentally painful. ……

I need some rest.

“Damn… *gasp… it hurts like hell.”

I walked slowly to the shore of the water to see if I could see any fish.

It seemed that the fish had already been freed from the effects of the incense, and there was not a single fish here.

I leaned over and reflected my current appearance in the water, thinking that a Bedlock is still a Bedlock even if it is that large.

As usual, the color was pure white.

I was slightly relieved to see that this was the same as usual.

But that relief was blown away when I saw my own face.

There was one eye on the side.

The other eye would have been located where the other eye would have been, but there were three coral-like horns growing out of the other eye.

I wasn’t sure why it was only coming out of one side, but my vision was very poor and I was a little surprised to see this figure.

And as for the shape of the face, …… it is certainly close to the shape of a dragon.

But the mouth is bizarrely parted.

Even the slit-mouthed woman would also be surprised. (Kuchisake Onna)

There are two tongues, each moving independently.

And the most crucial part is the body.

It is around three meters long.

A single, battered wing grows on its back, which does not seem to be functioning.

On the other side, the wing that was supposed to grow with it had been cut off, leaving only a small part of it.

Lastly, there was a rather impressive beard.

It was painful to look at, if I do say so myself.

It didn’t move, and I could feel the …… nerves were even going through it.

I used to get excited about my beard, but I wonder …… why.

I’m not very happy to see myself in this form.

It is not a good …… appearance.

Certainly, I might nod my head if I saw myself in this form and was told so.

However! How about the status!?

Only the appearance is ugly, but there may be no problem with the status.

With that thought in mind, I opened the status.

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

…… some of the stats are slightly higher than they were on Wavesnake.

Agility has dropped by a whole bunch, but instead MP and magic power are off the charts.

Finally, thanks to the jumped-up stats, I think I’ll be able to determine how to do battle. Thank goodness.

The number of skills does not seem to have increased much.

There is one more attack skill and one more skill that kind of dubious.

I wonder what exactly these are …….

Let’s take a look at the details of each skill for now.

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

―Tenwari― (Heaven Split)

The skill to perform a heaven-splitting slash. It can be activated with a hand, sword, or blade. The attack power changes depending on the weapon.

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

-The consequences of Cast Off-

A deadly skill that can be used when the opponent’s defeat is confirmed.

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

Tenwari is a skill like a sickle weasel (Kamaitachi).

I’m a little afraid that the attack power changes depending on the weapon you use, but I’ll try …… it later.

The end of the line of failure.

This is a skill that can be used to put an end to a fight.

However, I wonder why this skill categorized as Myth.

I think the conditions are too strict ……..

It may be good in some cases to be able to kill with certainty, but……

I don’t find it very useful.

The most frightening thing is that we don’t know what kind of skill it is, since only the activation conditions are written in the description.

If this is a skill that can be used on a single enemy, there is still no problem, but if it is a ranged attack, we have to find out where to use it.

I will have to test this as well.

The problem is that there is no one who is suitable for it.

However, I think I could use Tenwari right now.

Although without a human form, I created a single spear with a 【Water Spear Volley】 and attached a tenwari to it.

” 【Tenwari】 “

With a snap, the air was cut in a vertical line.

Instantly, the air was cut and all the trees in a straight line were split.

The ripped trees were not even a whimper, but were cut cleanly as if they had a perfectly clean cut.

My face turned blue at the power of the attack, and I deactivated my 【Water Spear Volley】 for the time being.

“Oo- okay, let’s go home.”

I create water with Infinite Water Manipulation and enter it.

Floating up and down, I returned in a straight line toward the Zenki-vllage.
