[You learned the following Skills]
[Slim Movements]
[Cunningness]
[Chaos Birthed Monster]
…
Chaos gained four new Skills after devouring the Goblins, the skills in specific seemed rather interesting, and by activating some, his thought process accelerated whenever he planned something cunningly.
[Slim Movements]: Grants a slim and flexible complexion.
[Cunningness]: By planning and scheming something, your thought process accelerates and you're more likely to find some idea.
[Chaos Birthed Monster]: A being born from Chaos has a unique affinity with it and miasma, increasing your power while being in places with high densities of miasma.
…
"Interesting, now I am rather cunning? …I don't feel the difference," thought Chaos.
Chaos also ate the weapons the monsters were holding but got nothing this time, they were merely rock weapons with some spirit stones, but he had already eaten spirit stones before.
"It seems that the monsters in here don't respond to Master nor try to serve him, perhaps the dungeon core is not aware to have been created by his miasma," said Abyss.
"That might be the case," said Chaos.
The group leisurely walked through the dungeon, as they encountered more goblins and hobgoblins in the way.
Gray and Black Hobgoblins were a bit stronger than their smaller counterparts, but they were still around B-Rank at most.
They were certainly stronger than Orcs before evolving, but now they were but cannon fodder… Perhaps if they had emerged near a village, a single hobgoblin could have caused a lot of chaos…
Goblins had a very bland taste to Chaos' opinion, but the Hobgoblins seemed tastier to an extent, although they were still within the "bland" category. Although if this dungeon was going to stay here, they might end up hunting goblins every day for food so people would have to get used to them.
Ding!
[You learned the following Skills]
[Leadership]
[Command]
…
After eating a Hobgoblin King, who was comparable to an A-Rank monster, who Chaos obliterated with his tails and left into a Swiss cheese-like appearance, he gained two new Skills.
…
[Leadership]: Grants greater proficiency while leading others, servants who are being led by you get a temporal increase in their capabilities and stats.
[Command]: While commanding someone, their strength increases, and they can get to coordinate better with those that work at their side.
…
It seemed that the Black Hobgoblin King was using these Skills to command the rest of the Goblins. Chaos had noticed that they got a tiny bit stronger, so perhaps these Skills could help him lead his people into the wars that might arise in the near future.
The first few floors were mostly these Goblins and Hobgoblins, however, after reaching the floor 5, new monsters emerged, such as Lesser Chaos Wyrms, and Lesser Void Bats, which were the size of cars.
Lesser Chaos Wyrms were like small, black-scaled dragons with crimson-red eyes, they had strong bites and their breath could unleash chaos attribute, they were still considered "young" but were within peak A-Rank in power. Some even reached S-Rank.
And Lesser Void Bats were stronger monsters, resembling giant, black-furred bats with a giant void in their stomach that vacuumed things out. It was a rather horrifying monster, it could easily crush weak people into death by vacuuming them into its void.
Chaos slew most of them by generating spears made of blood and impaling their heads. He was practicing more of his Bloodwork this time around and managed to crystalize his blood into sharp spears and other weapons, using them to slaughter the monsters rather fast.
However, after some slaughter, emerged some kind of boss, a giant Void Bat King!
It was perhaps comparable to a peak S-Rank monster, and it held within a giant vacuuming void.
"GGRYAR!"
The bat roared, rushing towards Chaos as it began to form a vacuuming force, trying to absorb him within it so he could crush him with it.
"An interesting way of fighting, but this is definitely not enough."
Chaos darted towards the bat, flying towards it directly, surprising the bat!
"Let's see… can you vacuum my soul?" he asked, as Chaos' soul suddenly surged from his body like a blazing black flame, shaping themselves as giant chaotic claws that began to slash and attack the giant, ten-meter-tall bat!
CLASH! SLASH! CRASH!
"GGRYEEEGGH…!"
The bat tried to fight back by firing shadow bullets, but Chaos attacks were immensely strong, its Vacuum was not able to vacuum souls for some reason, and it ended ultimately being sliced into pieces!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
The entire pile of sliced pieces of the bat fell over the ground, making quite the bloody scene.
Chaos quickly glanced at his soul but found not many changes. It seemed that this much attack didn't reduce the density or mass of his soul, thankfully.
After the slaughter, which also included another monster named Chaos Poisonous Fang Rat, Chaos decided to eat up everything.
The Wyrms were the tastiest, their meat was red and tender, the blood was just as sweet as he liked it as well, and when grilled, their taste multiplied. The bats were tough, but they were still somewhat enjoyable. And lastly, the rats were not so big, so Chaos ate them in a single bite.
[You learned the following Skills!]
[Chaos Scales Generation]
[Deadly Chaotic Bite Attack]
[Vacuum Stomach]
[Void Resistance]
…
This time around, each monster gave away only two skills, even when he ate a bunch.
Chaos immediately realized their purposes through their descriptions, additionally, it seems that Vacuum Stomach was rather overpowered.
…
[Chaos Scales Generation]: Generate chaos-attribute scales that resist all attributes to a small extent.
[Deadly Chaotic Bite Attack]: Infuse your jaws with the chaos attribute and unleash a deadly bite attack.
[Vacuum Stomach]: Gather void attribute within your stomach area and generate a void of perpetual blackness that absorbs anything within 5 meters, the more mana is infused the stronger it can grow… It can be resisted by strong beings.
[Void Resistance]: Reduces damage from Void Attribute.
…
"Just how many attributes there are in this universe?" wondered Chaos.
The group quickly rushed through the last floors, finally reaching the last floor!
