Appendage Generation.
He called out such a thing once as in the next moment, he felt an itching sensation as from the sides of his chest, two obsidian spiked limbs erupted out!
He was astonished by such a change as the additional limbs seemed far too foreign.
They…weren't permanent, were they?
He frowned with worry as he gave another command in his mind.
And moments later, the newly sprouted spikes limbs fell out where they sprouted, shriveling even before they hit the ground as by the moment they did, they were already ash.
He breathed a sigh of relief as he proceeded to try out more things.
He observed as his hands gained a layer of dark green liquid, its smell pungent as when it fell on the ground, the stones sizzled!
He simply thought about it once more before the dark green poison disappeared.
He continued to go through everything else as next up, he called out what should be a protective ability.
His hands felt like they became wrapped in a layer of indestructible light as when he raised them, he saw an obsidian carapace shining with a glint of purple light form.
He looked all over his hands as currently, they looked like an armored part of him that could be hurt by very few things!
The sense of protection he felt from this alone was something that made it worth it as he looked at the last thing.
This was a unique one as instinctively, he looked at the ceiling within this extended cave as he slowly began to walk towards the wall.
And he kept on walking.
'Physical Adherence.'
He called out silently in his mind as he felt like something far too pristine and unknown covered his legs.
And he continued walking towards the wall as he put his foot on its vertical surface, and…he continued walking!
He was lying horizontal to the floor below, and yet he didn't fall as his feet stuck to the vertical cave wall!
And he took a few more steps as unbelievably, he came to stand upside down on the ceiling of the Catacombs.
His hand covered by an exoskeleton touched his chest as he felt his beating heart and this surreal reality.
He was able to assimilate Evolutius Crystals.
He was able to assimilate the bodies of Evolutius Beasts.
Just what else could he assimilate, and what exactly would happen when 100% assimilation was reached?
He didn't have any answers.
What he did have was his current situation where he needed the funds, and this shocking ability factor he awakened could give him this and more as long as he played it right.
He consciously released Physical Adherence as his body dropped down, his gaze landing on the other remaining Black Spider.
Assimilating two things at once increased the Existence Corruption Value, but it was currently still low, and Evolutius Crystals were very much needed.
Not to mention the much larger volume that the bodies of Evolutius Beasts provided, and how rapidly the percentage of Assimilation could go up due to them.
He hoped he wasn't making the wrong choice at this moment as he reached out towards the other corpse of the Black Spider and…
A crimson light flashed.
The whole body of a spider turned into goo that was absorbed into his body!
The burning sensation of power inside of him became even more intense as he looked at the panel once again.
[Assimilation]:: Organic Crystal(Evolutius Crystals)(6%)- Obtained qualities of Regeneration, Energy Conversion, Flexibility, Light Manipulation. Sub-Assimilation- Organic Arachnida Lifeform(20%) Gained qualities of Poison Generation, Appendage Generation, Exoskeletal Armor, Physical Adherence
[Existence Corruption Value]:: 2%
[Complexity]:: Negligible
Corruption rose by another percentage. But the percentage of the assimilated Arachnida Lifeform was now 20%!
He clenched his fists as he looked ahead in the dark winding paths of the Catacombs.
The exoskeleton on his hands now extended to his shoulders.
His sense of confidence continued to grow as, at this moment, he continued delving even deeper.
He was looking for Evolutius Crystals, and he was looking for the bodies of Evolutius Beasts, especially Arachnids!
And so he went deeper until…the tunnel of these Catacombs began to widen.
More cobwebs appeared all around, and as he went closer, he heard the shifting sounds of limbs and screeches of Beasts every now and then.
He crept closer as uniquely, the Catacombs widened and opened up into a wide area up ahead filled with spiderwebs- and he noted at least ten spiders moving around as there were three black eggs pulsing at the very center!
The path opened up into a Nest as Achilles stayed back while calculating his options.
He could see ten Black Spiders in total, one of them at the very center being slightly larger and more robust.
Even a team of three Low Tier Body Modification Advanced Humans would be cautious at this collection of Low Tier Evolutius Beasts!
But he could do things other Advanced Humans couldn't as he made up his mind…and activated Physical Adherence again.
This time, he used both his legs and hands as he climbed the walls of the Catacombs and chose to enter in a way that not even the Black Spiders could predict.
Silently, in the darkness of the Catacombs, his feet and hands stuck to its walls as he climbed up into the widened room.
He moved without making a sound until he arrived at the very center, his figure dangling from the ceiling of the Catacombs as he was right above the largest Black Spider!
Kill the strongest one first.
This was his plan as he no longer hesitated, his target locked on as he didn't allow fear to set in!
He released Physical Adherence.
His figure began to tumble down as his tremendous weight pulled him ever faster, and while in the air…
'Appendage Generation. Poison Generation.'
Two sharp appendages grew from his side, their sharp points coated in poison as his hands held a similar deadly sheen…and he smashed onto a four meter body of a Black Spider!
