Reborn As An Evolving Monster

Chapter 368 Playing Tag With Monsters, II

As the white-scaled Monster's organs and muscles were continually scorched,

Advanced Body Reconstruction-

The Magic Skill was used so much to combat the breaking down of Mark's body that it, at one point, was used instinctively.

[Your Magic Skill "Advanced Body Reconstruction[B+]" is Evolving!]

[You have developed the Passive Skill "Accelerated Health Point Regeneration[B]".]

Messages that the white-scaled Monster couldn't see.

Through the pain, it pushed itself off the ground.

Feet, legs, eyes, and organs it didn't even know existed were continually burned.

How long had the white-scaled Monster's body been burning for?

How long had it been since the flames burning it from both the inside and the outside had been sparked?

When exactly had the white-scaled Monster's suffocating coughs turned into all-out laughter?

A new pain slowly was born.

Heart? No, but close to it.

The Flames wielded by an ancient Race.

Fire Giant Core.

A crystalized Fire Giant's Heart.

The organ that pumped blood through its whole body.

A Being that was more than a hundred meters tall.

The white-scaled Monster's scales twitched incessantly.

[Your Title "Evolving Monster" processes the Fire Giant Core's Flames!]

[Your Title "Devourer" swallows the Fire Giant Core's Flames gluttonously!]

The burning Monster slowly curled its arm and stared at its palm.

It could see!

Despite the fire, the Monster could see its palm!

Or rather, the flames surrounding it.

The Monster's whole body was covered by the flames. All of it was burning.

Everything, except its left eye.

The white-scaled Monster found that fascinating.

Its field was vision was covered by flames, and that eye was burned to a crisp.

But the Monster could feel it! Its index finger wasn't burning.

The next second, flames engulfed that finger, and the Monster could see once more.

This is probably the worst I've ever felt-

Thoughts from a bit earlier.

The white-scaled Monster realized that it, truly, had no idea how much worse things could get.

And yet, the thought that followed the former remained true.

It feels right-

With the corners of its lips slightly curled upwards, the white-scaled Monster raised a foot.

Despite the flames, despite the pain, the Monster took a step forward.

Leaving burned traces behind it with each step, the burning Monster walked.

Where to? 

Forward.

What for?

Forward.

Under the black Sky, in the middle of the dark Sorest, two sources of Light.

The Moon. And the Flames.

For thirty seconds or thirty minutes, the white-scaled Monster covered by ancient Flames walked forward.

The pain was such that Mark couldn't think about anything else.

And so, he decided not to think.

The white-scaled Monster walked, until it noticed.

Having only one eye made it difficult to notice after all.

It had been surrounded.

Mark scanned the area around him by slowly spinning 360 degrees.

Five or six of them? Except if more had hidden in his blind spots as he had spun.

Strange creatures.

Hyenas with no eyes.

Wolves with no lower jaws.

Bears with sharp ribs that pierced through their pelt instead of circling around their torso.

More appeared.

Eyeless Hawks that stood on two legs and measured about 2 meters tall.

Vultures that were similar to Hawks except with no feathers covering their bodies.

Tigers that stood upside down as if Spiders.

Spiders with Human-like arms for legs.

Orcs with mouths for eyes and an eye for their mouth.

More horrendous creatures assembled with time. Horrifying creatures.

Creatures of nightmares.

Creatures of the night, called by the one light shining inside the darkness that ruled the forest.

The Hyenas and Hawks were the first to launch themselves at that Light.

It was a place without Light after all.

A place in which Light wasn't accepted.

The Eyeless were the first to fight against the appearance of Light.

The Hawks jumped up while the Hyenas ran forward.

The white-scaled Monster stepped back swiftly, leaving place for the talons belonging to the two attacking Hawks to pierce the ground.

It reached forward.

Each of the white-scaled Monster's hands landed on one of the Hawks' bodies.

And with a touch,

KIII-

KIII-

Their bodies caught Fire.

'Hurts... Doesn't it?'

The Hyenas bared their fangs, and the white-scaled Monster plunged forward, leaving just enough space between its body and the ground for the attacking Hyenas to pass through.

Touch-

Touch-

Mark's had landed on the Hyena's head.

A split second, was enough for the Flames covering his body to run wild and cover the Hyena's whole body.

Then came the Bears.

The Tigers and the Orcs.

One by one, their bodies burned.

The white-scaled Monster jumped, spun, and leaped.

More and more Lights were lit inside the dark Forest.

GROWL-

ROAR-

KIII-

KEKEKEK-

The number of Light grew, and so did the number of Creatures encircling the area.

More abominable and grotesque one from the next, they growled and roared.

While the white-scaled Monster chuckled.

It ran and ran, lighting Lights with its hands and legs.

Still, they kept going towards it!

Little by little, the white-scaled Monster started forgetting about the pain.

It was still there. The Flames were still burning it from both the inside and the outside.

Still, it chuckled.

Beyond the swarm of Creatures surrounding him, Mark could see it.

A Creature different from the rest.

Some kind of Boss Monster?

Beyond the swarm, on a tree's branch.

Its legs were too short and its arms too long.

Where did its head start and when did its torso end? It had no noticeable shoulders or neck.

Its five eyes stared greedily.

Its two mouthes, one above the other, showed human-like teeth.

The Creature was smiling.

Mark wasn't worried.

Its time would come to.

For now, let's keep this going!

Let's light more Fires!

Let's keep this party going!

Just like that time...

Let's keep it going!

With a touch, I win!

I love this game too, you know?

So let's keep this party going!

Keep the game going!

For now, this is what I want!

It's my turn now!
