43 40 - Aftermath
[A/N: I have made an Auxilary Chapter to explain some of the Wyrm's crazy powers. Many of you seem to be confused by his special moves, which I don't blame you since I write in the middle of the night whilst half of my attention is elsewhere.]
Chapter 40 - Aftermath
Written By Dr. Armstrong
~〈The Wyrm〉~
The Wyrm collapsed on top of his Minion's back as his hideously mutated form writhed in self-inflicted agony.
"GET OFF OF ME, MASTER." Even his companion was disgusted as the Crabster picked up the Wyrm and dropped him on the floor.
The Wyrm couldn't formulate a proper reply or even any words, as literal eyeballs spilt out of his earholes... Which he did indeed have as his head was more reptilian than crustacean.
"W-Wait... wHyay wAS thErE NO NotiFiaciaon!?!?!?" The Wyrm spoke in the language of the gods as his attention snapped toward where the Dragon should have died.
There on the rocky floor, Gairasa stood on all fours, the vitality gradually leaving her eyes. Her maimed and roasted body was as black as charcoal, the same mutations that had inflicted the Wyrm now corrupted her flesh.
Steam rose from her shaking body, yet the will to live still somehow remained in the Earth Dragon.
The Dragon was barely clinging to life, even a single, well-placed punch from his Minion could take her out of commission.
"laRRya! illK haur!!! (Larry, kill her!!!)" The Wyrm shouted as the Crabster immediately broke into a ferocious sprint, no hesitation in his eyes.
—Boop~!
His face crashed to the ground as he gritted his teeth in pain, waiting for that notification to come...
—BAAAM~!*
...And so it came
「Your Party has slain Earth Dragon Gairasa︱LV 1.」
「You have levelled up several times. Max LV reached.」
「Evolution available...」
「The Title ~Dragon Slayer~ has been bestowed.」
「In response to Title acquisition, the Skills ~Dragon Power LV 1~ and ~Ultimate Life LV 1~ have been acquired.」
「Due to the Holder's species being that of a Wyrm, ~Dragon Power~ has been sacrificed to raise all Ability Values...」
「The Skills ~Dimensional Maneuvering LV 1~ and ~Earth Dragon LV 1~ have been plundered.」
「The Skills ~Dignity...」
The notifications kept going on and on, though the attention of the one receiving all of them was somewhere else entirely.
"evOluTiaon~!@%$^#%" The Wyrm desperately shouted as the mutations started affecting his brain... Luckily, he had multiple, so the brain damage was minimal.
He just wanted the pain to go away, and evolution will hopefully do so...
———[EVOLUTION]———

Once he saw the last option, he just went with it and started clicking frantically... The pain was just that horrifying. It was genuine real pain, so Heresy Resistance didn't do shit... even his Pain Super-Mitigation could not block such intense suffering.
Unfortunately, the last option seemed to be blocked for some reason... So the Wyrm just chose the closest thing to Earth Dragon option, Ein Varaaz...
「Are you sure you want to commence Evolution into—」
"YES!!!" The Wyrm used all of his combined mental power in these last few words.
And then...
—BADUM...Badum...badum...badu...ba...
His heartbeat rapidly slowed down as a lethargic feeling overwhelmed his senses... Meanwhile, the pain was...
Gone.
A bright golden light emanated between his scales, his insides rearranging in a way that would have been seen as downright blasphemous by Darwin...
「Through evolution, you remain conscious...」
「What if you try to use Chrysalis...?」
"!!!" That's right!
Without any longer delays, the Chrysalis Skill was activated and a screen flickered before the evolving Wyrm.
——Chrysalis ~ Evolution——
Pure Essence: 100
[TYPE HERE:...]
————
'...What?' Now this was new...
Since it said to type here, the Wyrm just typed something completely random... Ears.
—
• Bunny Ears (10)
• Human Ears (10)
• Elven-style Ears (15)
• Bat Ears (15)
ETC...
—
'Huh... Wait, hold on...' He tried typing something vaguer... Reproductive Organ.
—
• Hydra Penis (20)
• Vagina (5)
• Seed Sack (15)
• Ovaries (15)
ETC...
—
'What the hell... But, I don't have a Vagina... Oh, shit! I can add new organs!?' This was a game changer, imagine what kind of monstrous shit he could pull out of this new function...
'Can I finally have horns? And, oh... I can grow wings—' He was then abruptly brought out of his musings as his attention returned to the real world...
—Clink~Clank~!*
The Wyrm's eyes snapped towards the battlefield as the sound of metallic boots hitting the ground resounded.
"A Dragon had fallen." The Dragon God announced.
As to how the Wyrm knew it was the Dragon God? He just did... Every type of Draconic creature would automatically recognise their Creator.
A Human would have probably recognised GOD if the guy ever decided to knock on their front door.
"By Right of Conquest... The Title of Champion shall be bestowed upon which who has slayed Gairasa..." He said as the man approached the Wyrm's location with a casual pace.
"Phantom of the Depths... From now on, you shall be Champion of my name...!" The Dragon God announced to the World as a loud notification resounded in the Wyrm's draconic ears.
「Administrator Güliedistodiez has acknowledged your achievements.」
'...Wait, the Admin and the Dragon God are the same people!?' Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.
「The Title ~Champion has been bestowed.」
「In response to Title acquisition, the Skills ~Destruction Enhancement LV 1~ and ~Status Condition Resistance LV 1~ have been acquired.」
"Now, my Champion... For your first directive..." The God stated as he spread his arms into the air, the space behind him breaking apart into a portal.
"SURVIVE!" He shouted before being devoured by his own portal...
"...What?" The Wyrm was frankly baffled, what the fuck just happened?
「From now on, all Wyrm-type and Dragon-type Monsters won't just attack you upon sight...」
"Uh... Wait, wait, wait—" The Wyrm was silenced as a giant green arrow manifested above him, constantly pointing down at the Wyrm.
「They will actively seek you out... In addition, your exact location will be publicly broadcasted straight into their Souls.」

"Spider arc soon, Stone me so I'll make it happen even sooner." -Remark
I need you guy's recommendations on the new Organs for Chrysalis...
