Chapter 4

After recovering from the boss fight Adrian just had him take a look at his rewards. "Nice! Got 2 level ups and enough shop points for Photographic Memory! So putting 20 on Wis and 20 on Spirit bumps it up to 2 Mp per minute is fine, maybe I'll just add 20 points to all the stats at 100 to even it out? Oh! by the way, what does [Devour] do?" Adrian asked.

[Devour takes 10% of one's highest stats and adds it to the User]

"Wow...that's Op! It's also able to work on 'materials' too? I'm going back to [Devour] some crystals, but first! Time to update my Status!

While adding points to his status, Adrian saw a few new things that appeared. "Oh! I see some new skills! Show me the new skills description!"

"Oh, I see how I can grind these skills...though maybe I should test them out first." Deciding what to do for the next week, Adrian floats back to his section of the cave and starts to practice on the altar sheath. After practicing his skills and cultivating for a week, he asks the system to give him all the improvements he made in one go.

[Time: 6:23:01]

[Boss Level Monster Detected]

[Mortal Soul-Level 17 Magic Anaconda]

Going in a swamp area of the cave, Adrian finds another strong pressure and immediately looks around the area for the Boss. 'Ugh, it's quite high leveled, I can barely even sense it...time for plan B.' Adrian thought as he charged up his Wind Bullets with Psychokinesis and fired it towards the Anaconda.

[Wind Bullets x30!] [Psychokinesis]

[Wind Bullets x30!] [Psychokinesis]

[Host has created a New Skill!]

[Wind Bullet has merged with new skill]

[Weapon Creation (Wind)]

[Mp cost: Varies on weapon's stats]

After those charged bullets barely hurt the Anaconda, the system gave him an upgraded skill. Looking at how a new skill was made, Adrian decided to make a small weapon that didn't take much Mp to test out his new offensive capability. 'Damn! This Boss has some good defense and regeneration! Huh? This skill...alright let's test this out! [Weapon Creation: Wind Javelin x5!]'

The Javelin was extremely strong, even though he made it smaller, it still took about a third of his mana, showing how strong it was. It blasted through the air instantly piercing the acid blast aiming at Adrian and piercing the eye of the Anaconda. The other 4 javelins then also came in and pierced different parts of its body, making sure that it was damaged enough where it wouldn't regenerate anymore.

[30 Mins, No Damage Taken, Adaptation Kill]

**[...]**

[Time: 15:05:58]

[Mortal Soul-Level 19 Mutated Bullet Ant Queen]

Realizing what fighting a queen meant, Adrian complained then tried to cheer himself up. "Shit...I'm in a nest!? Oh god, there's gonna be so many ants to kill. It's gonna be an Exp farm!"

[Weapon Creation: Wind Bomb x3!]

As the bombs spread out throughout the nest, it blows up in a chain reaction, also making the ceiling spikes fall down, killing hundreds of soldier ants. This got a reaction of the Queen ant, searching for who released those bombs, Adrian sees a chance to attack and immediately launches himself towards her head.

[Psychokinesis: Launch!]

As Adrian used his full speed to get to the Queen ant, the other ants noticed and made a wall to stop him, though it did slow down it pierced through them easily and instead made a severe injury on the Queen's carapace, cutting through it and piercing a few organs and glands. The Queen, angry at who injured it and it's children dying, tried to bite Adrian, though he narrowly escapes and attacks again.

[Weapon Creation: Enhanced Wind Bomb!]

{Psychokinesis: Launch!]

Slashing off the head at full speed, the bomb blew up the rest of the Queen's body, with blood and 'meat' everywhere, and in the middle laid a core as well.

[+110,000 Exp, Magic Beast Core, Large Carapace]
