Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Rewards!
[You have defeated the current Alpha!]

[You have completed the Side-Quest “Wizzos, A New Alpha Is In Town!”]

[You have obtained 1 Skill Point!]

[Your “Enhanced Devouring” Skill becomes “Enhanced Devouring Lv2”.]

‘Ha… Hahahaha!’ The Paru laughed and laughed internally, almost blushing. ‘These weak abilities aren’t much. They really aren’t much. But when all put together… Gaining more of these unique abilities… Bringing all of them together… Hahahaha…’ The Paru started stepping towards the unmoving Alpha. ‘I’ll be an unstoppable monster!’

The Paru stared at the corpse in front of it, and its smile slowly faded.

‘This wasn’t the best idea, was it? Scorching the cells and killing them when I’m supposed to Devour them…’

Shrug-

‘Oh, well.’

The Paru used its pincer to cut a piece of the scorched Alpha, before placing it in its mouth.

‘Mm… Not bad. I guess frogs don’t taste as bad as I expected them to.’

After that, the Paru grabbed hold of the Granilith’s cut-off hand, and took a bite.

‘Isn’t that enough?’

[Your intent has been made clear.]

[Congratulations!]

[You have Cleared the Quest: “Planet Discovery”.]

[You have obtained 2 Skill Points!]

‘Good.’

[A Side-Quest has been issued!]

[Quest: “More is better!”]

[Objective: None.]

[Reward: Depends on accomplishments.]

[Penalty: None.]

‘Accomplishments? So the more I do, the more I’m rewarded?’

[Correct.]

‘Mm.’ The Paru shrugged. ‘Guess I’ll do what I want and let you be the judge of that.’

Understanding the Paru’s intent, the System had brought on the Rewards from the “Planet Discovery” Quest.

There is a reason why the Paru had only taken bites from the creatures around it so far.

The reason was very simple.

‘Enhanced Devouring allows me to choose how I want my body to change, as well as which Skills I want. Leveling that one up means I have more power over it. But that’s not what I need now…’

The Paru looked down at the unmoving Granilith below.

‘The Paru’s ability to Devour and incorporate the Devoured cells and genes into itself… The Paru’s natural ability. That’s what I want. Whether it will mean lowering the amount of genes necessary to gain something, or that my body will be able to change and be impacted more profoundly by the Devouring… I obviously would like the second option to be what happens. Which is why…’

Devouring them now wouldn’t yield as much as Devouring them after the Skill has been strengthened.

[You have used 1 Skill Point.]

[Your “Devour” Skill becomes “Devour Lv2”.]

[You have used 1 Skill Point.]

[Your “Devour Lv2” Skill becomes “Devour Lv3”.]

[You have used 1 Skill Point.]

[Your “Devour Lv3″ Skill becomes”Devour Lv4”.]

‘Good. I still have a Skill Point left, right?’

[Correct.]

‘Other than my Devouring ability, there’s only one real choice.’

The Paru nodded to itself.

‘The Skill that has allowed me to defeat the Wizzos, as well as their Alpha…’

[You have used 1 Skill Point.]

[Your “Invisibility” Skill becomes “Invisibility Lv2”.]

‘What’s the difference? Please tell me it’s not lowered Endurance Points Consumption.’

[The “Invisibility Lv2” Skill allows for more control over the Invisibility brought upon by the Skill.]

‘Huh. Guess I’ll ask more later. What about my Devour Skill?’

[Your “Devour Lv4” Skill is more efficient.]

[Less cells and genes are necessary to bring upon change.]

[Your “Devour Lv4” Skill has increased how much your body can be altered.]

[Your “Devour Lv4” Skill allows for more meaningful changes.]

‘Alright, well… All I can do is test it, and see if it goes with what I have in mind.’

While being able to control the result of the Devouring through the “Enhance Devouring” Skill was important to the Paru, it hadn’t used a Skill Point on that Skill. The reason was simple. The Paru still believed that Devouring Wizzo could bring upon the same effect on the Skill as using a Skill Point on it would.

The Paru stared at the feast for a bit, before getting to work.

[You have Developed the Skill “Water Affinity”.]

[When fully hydrated or dripping wet, Endurance Points increase by 30%]

[Additionally, hydration becomes 400% more effective at recovering Endurance Points.]

[Your Vitality Stat increases by 1 Stat Point.]

[Your Vitality Stat increases by 1 Stat Point.]

[Your Vitality Stat increases by 1 Stat Point.]

[Your Vitality Stat increases by 1 Stat Point.]

[Your Strength Stat increases by 1 Stat Point.]

[Your Strength Stat increases by 1 Stat Point.]

[Your Strength Stat increases by 1 Stat Point.]

[Your Strength Stat increases by 1 Stat Point.]

[You have Developed the Skill “Blade Of Bones”.]

[You can turn your limbs into sharp blades made of your bones.]

‘That’ll be much more useful for me… Since I have more limbs.’

[Your “Enhanced Devouring Lv2” Skill becomes “Enhanced Devouring Lv3”.]

[Through devouring the Alpha, your exoskeleton has been strengthened.]

‘Cool…’

[You have Developed the Skill “Sexual Endurance”.]

‘…’

The Paru stared at the floating words silently.

‘These frogs, man…’

Unfortunately, no Skills were gained from Devouring the Granilith. Still, eating it was necessary too, for the form that the Paru envisioned.

‘How many Endurance Points do I have left?’

[Endurance Points: 123/1090.]

‘Mm.’ The Paru nodded. ‘Guess I’ll go back to them.’

It stopped for a moment and took a deep breath in.

‘Man do I feel alive after killing that Alpha.’ The Paru chuckled. ‘Having sex now would just be perfect.’

The Paru chuckled once again, before heading towards the area where the spaceship had landed.
