It was a fearsome feat.
12 Middle Tier Evolutius Beasts, and one Upper Tier Evolutius Beast!
If anyone else saw that such a large number of beasts were defeated by two people- one who just awaked earlier today, and the other one the day before…they would definitely not believe it.
Even Rose shook her head as she looked at the devastation around them.
She was just a normal human not too long ago working mundane jobs, and had only ever seen Advanced Humans on TV.
She couldn't even aspire to one day be like them as she had long since passed the age of awakening!
"It's actually all real, Little Fatty."
She spoke to Achilles who nodded at her words, his breathing light as even after this heavy battle, he didn't even feel like he broke a sweat.
Regeneration. Photosynthetic. Energy Conversion. Abnormal Endurance. All of these qualities seemed to be granting him an exuberant vitality to move freely as, at this moment, he did not find himself tired or exhausted.
"It's real…and I'll do everything I can to make sure it doesn't disappear"
He liked where he was currently at.
Finally, Rose accepted him. Finally, he was not losing her. Finally…he didn't have that sense of constant worry.
Of losing his job out of nowhere. Of a Leyline Fracture occuring and making him lose everything!
He did not want to go back to that as decisively, he went towards the corpses of the Middle Tier Lightning Treants and began swallowing them up one by one.
The moment he assimilated 5 Middle Tier Evolutius Beasts, his body felt tremendously heavy and powerful as his skin…began to pulse with purple radiance.
For a moment, his skin even turned crystalline!
He brought himself to a stop and sat down at the center of the wide space right in front of the dead Upper Tier Evolutius Beast, Rose right beside him as she watched his scintillating skin.
She saw his dark hair move around gorgeously as if it were alive, the purple radiance covering him making his figure look gilded.
"Cute…" Rose found herself muttering unconsciously before she placed her hands on her lips and just continued to watch.
After a few seconds, the light show stopped as Achilles opened his eyes, feeling an unknown source of power within the depths of his body that he could not fully explain!
His eyes were naturally drawn towards the panel only he could see.
[Assimilation]:: Organic Arachnida Lifeform Echelon 1- Gained qualities of Poison Generation, Appendage Generation, Exoskeletal Armor, Physical Adherence, and Thermoreception
Organic Crystal(Evolutius Crystal) Echelon 1- Obtained qualities of Regeneration, Energy Conversion, Flexibility, Light Manipulation, and Biological Nurturing
Organic Phanerogam Lifeform Echelon 1(15%)- Obtained qualities of Dermal Armor, Regeneration, Photosynthetic, Lightning Physiology, and Abnormal Endurance
[Existence Corruption Value]:: 0%
[Complexity]:: Negligible
His Existence Corruption Value finally returned to 0% as the biggest change…was the assimilation of the Organic Crystals. The Evolutius Crystals!
It finally stepped into the first Echelon as the biggest change…was Biological Nurturing.
The moment he thought of this, he felt a unique purple glow cover his hands as he felt like threads of information on how to use it were naturally budding within him.
He thought of the Evolutius Crystals again.
A resource from the Evolutius Catacombs that changed everything for the World of Ethemia!
It was the singular thing that every Advanced Human used to advance further and increase their power.
He looked at the new quality of Biological Nurturing as he turned to Rose with a serious face and asked.
He asked knowing it was a heavy question, but Rose smiled and nodded without even a second passing.
She came to sit opposite him as he put his glowing purple hands out, the extra appendages he had grown out having long since fallen off the sides of his body as currently, it was just him.
They were seated in the middle of a dangerous part of the Evolutius Catacombs, with the corpse of an Upper Tier Evolutius Beast near them and 7 remaining corpses of Middle Tier Evolutius Beasts as their bodies glowed dimly with blue crystals!
With such an atmosphere, Achilles grabbed Rose's hand and activated Biological Nurturing.
"Tell me if you feel any changes."
He was almost certain about it. But he still wanted her to confirm as after committing to Biological Nurturing, threads of visible purple light flowed from him and into Rose.
Her body began to soon glow purple as she breathed out with a sense of shock right after and replied.
"I feel…like the flame inside of me is visibly growing hotter! And the hotter it becomes, my whole body feels a burning sensation as if everything is…becoming stronger!"
Her head became aflame as she said this, her eyes opening to look into Achilles' eyes.
There was a hue of purple brilliance around them as in her eyes, it felt like time stopped.
The blinding purple light around him.
She saw how earnest and caring his eyes were only for her. She noticed his hair. She noticed his smile. She noticed…his lips.
Feeling the surging heat within her, she may have truly just misplaced it but at that moment, she leaned forward.
She was the one who made the first move!
Without knowing how or when, the only thing she knew was that her lips were pressing on Achilles.
She felt him freeze momentarily in shock before a moment later, he returned the kiss!
Hurriedly as if he wanted to tell her that he didn't freeze for no other reason than because he was shocked.
From their locked lips, Rose began to feel even more heat as threads of purple light glowed from Achilles' mouth and flowed into her, her entire mind buzzing as she entirely became lost in the moment!
Meanwhile, her flames continued burning as they reached a terrifying degree of heat, her whole body rapidly being taken from the level of physical power of a Low Tier Body Modification Advanced Human and towards the Middle Tier Body Modification stage!
