Chapter 29 [Bonus chapter] Ghost Lycan?

‘A stealth skill. The ghost gecko.’ Victor’s mind moved to this creature almost immediately. The system had said something about not 100% certain if the skill could be obtained even after fusing it with another creature or himself, but maybe he would try it now to see.

..

Evolution Material:

-Fiery Tailed Wolf – 1000

-Zombie – 15,000

-Dungeon Bat – 5000

-Dark Poisonous Spider – 200

-Giant Forest Snake – 200

-White Mountain Tiger – 500

-Grey Lycan – 4000

-Ghost Gecko – 2000

-Mantant – 10,000

-Minotuar – 600,000

..

With these choices, Victor knew just what to do. He walked back as he wandered through the dungeon floor. He had utilized his speed and outran the two ladies giving them not the slightest chance to catch up. The warrior was a strength type, so she couldn’t do much, not to talk of the magician.

Victor could remember them as they were part of the team that had entered the dungeon sometime before he started his descent. So that only meant they were separated from the group at that point.

As he walked around looking for a test subject, the test subjects presented themselves. Just ahead of him, Victor noticed a pack of black lycans approaching his location. “Just perfect.”

These beasts were nothing for Victor. Without wasting much time, he sped towards them and activated touch of death. In mere seconds, the entire pack was lying dead on the floor. Victor ignored the evolution material before him since he didn’t think of them as high grade enough to begin with, he just picked a corpse at random and turned it to an undead as he added it to his legion.

[You have acquired an undying soldier that will forever serve at your side with unquestionable resolve]

[Black Lycan has dropped in level due to effects of being reborn]

[Black Lycan Level 45]

That very moment, he named the black lycan he had just raised so he could commence evolution.

“You shall be called Wolf.” Victor said, and soon felt the connection between them form.

He unsummoned the beast and headed straight into the system’s evolution window.

“I wonder what kind of creature would come out of this combination.” Victor thought.

After going through the possible combination between the black lycan and the ghost gecko, Victor noticed something immediately. The evolution material he had on the ghost gecko was not enough. There was absolutely no guarantee of the new creature gaining any skill.

It seemed he would have to let this issue go for now. If he does run into them by chance later, he would fight, but there was no reason to go looking for a fight just like that. Besides, levelling up was going to be extremely difficult from now, seeing as he has already started requiring millions of experience points.

But looking at that too, Amadon is level 45 but was able to level up. There was only one explanation Victor could think of. Since his system was different, it was possible his level up condition was also different.

In some manga and novels Victor had read back on earth, there were people who delayed their ascension or breakthrough to amass more and purer mana so that when they broke through, they would be more powerful than their pairs in the same level. Most often than not, these people were able to fight with people of higher rank or level than themselves, and even come out on top sometimes.

‘It’s possible this is what my system is doing. It would explain why I can exhibit such capabilities.’ Victor was sure this was it.

Since he also started from since he was level one, it meant he had been indulging in this legendary art since infantry basically.

Coming back to the black lycan he had just added to his ranks, Victor thought of removing it. It had no special attribute, plus he was sure it was a lower rank creature.

Apart from himself, it was quite clear he needed to get strong creatures around himself. “A dragon would be good.” Victor said as he walked away from the corpses.

..

“Come forth, Wolf.” Victor said.

Without being told, Victor could feel it within himself what he needed to do to disband the beast from his legion. With a thought, the beast’s body slowly faded away as its flesh rotted away leaving behind bones.

As that was taken care of, Victor headed deeper into the floor. He needed to become stronger, strong enough that he wouldn’t need to think twice before attacking any creature before him. The minotaur was a good way to gain a huge amount of experience points at once, so he was looking to find another one or a couple. At times like this, Victor could only wish he had an aggro skill with a large area of effect.

“How do I get such a skill now? Something like that would be extremely useful.” Victor said to himself.

He still didn’t know of a sure way to get skills, but for now the best way was to evolve and incorporate other creatures into himself. Thinking about this, a thought came to Victor’s mind.

“System, is it possible for me to use skills across my different forms?” Victor aksed.

[Yes, though. There are some limitations with some skills]

‘Godly.’

If this was so, it meant he would still have access to all his skills even after switching forms to his second form. The most important part of this was the fact that the possibility of gaining a skill after evolution is increased if a proper evolution is done.

Originally, Victor didn’t want to alter the form of his current and base form too much, so he left that for the second form. But now, the second just gained a whole new use. It is worthy to be called a testing ground.

Before commencing his plan, Victor would first have to gain enough evolution material to build his second minotaur form. Then, the experimentation would begin proper.
