Chapter 85: Wrapping Up
[Level Up + 1]

[Level Up + 1]

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

He was set on getting stronger, and right now, evolving or mutating was the quickest route.

“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. ]

<Bloodline Skill>

— >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.

[Duration: 30 seconds]

[Cool-down: 10 minutes]

[Cost: Energy]

—> Bone Control: With this skill, the host gains the ability to manipulate his bones. He can reshape his skeletal structure at will, allowing for increased agility, flexibility, and even the ability to create makeshift weapons or defenses from bone fragments.

[Cost: Energy]

—> Bone Eater: When activated, this skill grants the host the ability to consume the bones and muscles of any deceased creature simply by touching them.

By doing so, the host can extract EXP, enhancing his own strength. Additionally, the host can preserve these consumed bones for future use, incorporating them into his own skeletal structure as he continue to evolve and grow stronger.

“Sweet,” Reign whistled in amazement as he saw the three bloodline skills.

Although his evolution options might now be more restricted to just one, the quality of the skills far surpassed those of the Beta Version.

The Bone Eater skill, in particular, stood out to him. Devouring too many individuals consumed a considerable amount of time, and this new ability would save him valuable time and effort.

And to top it off, he could save the bones of every person he devoured.

That meant all those bones would be at his disposal in the future. Reign couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement as he considered the possibilities.

The moment he clicked the evolution button, a wave of excruciating pain surged through every bone in his body. It felt as though he was being ground down to dust, only to be reconstructed again.

His face was also undergoing noticeable changes too; the color of his bones shifted from white to a metallic silver hue, while the flames in his eyes intensified.

Previously resembling a flickering candlelight, they now glowed like concentrated blue orbs of energy.

When it was all done, he found himself on the ground, panting heavily. The transformation had taken a toll on his body, but the results were very satisfying.

Checking his stats again, he saw that all of his attributes had increase by one rank, but instead of being happy he felt frustrated.

‘Fuck me, I should’ve used my points. The effect would’ve been way better,’ Reign clicked his tongue in annoyance.

If the attribute increase was fixed at +1, then he had just missed out on a huge opportunity by not using his points.

He started to calm himself down, attempting to push aside his frustration and charge it up to experience.

‘No use crying over spilled milk,’ he sighed, shaking off his disappointment.

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’
