Chapter 200: Testing Merged Skills!


    Just as the Paru was preparing to leave,


    Croak! Croak!


    Ssh!


    His eyes widened at the noise.


    Clearly, one of the ponds upied by Wizzos.


    CROAK!


    An Alpha was there as well.


    ‘Opposite direction of the one I came from to this tunnel.’ The Paru’s lips curled upwards as he cracked his neck.


    “Best way to get over a hangover is working out and drinking water, right?”


    There were still a couple of Skills to test out.


    Upon finding therge pond, the first thing that Paru did was try to catch the Alpha’s attention without bringing the rest to himself.


    Excluding the Alpha, there were six Wizzos.


    ‘Still a manageable amount with my current level of strength, but I’d rather focus on the Alpha and test stuff.’


    Before, the Paru would have thrown something at the Alpha to catch its attention. But now, he had a better way of doing that.


    Venomous Fangs X Infectious Cut X de of Bones Lv.2 X Fang Projection-


    [You have Developed the Skill “Venomous Infectious de Projection” through “Skill Merge”!]


    Both of his tentacles, aimed at the Alpha standing two dozen meters away, turned into short des of bones. On their de, pieces of flesh seemed to have solidified, which the Paru assumed were what caused the infection. The purple hue on top of that solidified skin was the venom.


    With great force, the des cut through the air and pierced the Alpha’s body.


    ‘Since it’s so big, it’s unlikely that these will do anything by themselves.’ The Paru turned away and started running. ‘But because it’s so big, it won’t think about taking them off, or pulling them out. Or rather, it’s not able to do that.’


    The Alpha croaked loudly, and the portion of its body that remained under the pond’s water quickly emerged.


    It pursued the Paru rapidly!


    Thetter ran for a couple of seconds before taking a sharp turn, using a tree to hide his next move.


    The Alpha growled while staring at that tree, before using its tail to sweep the area, cutting that three and others down.


    The invisible Paru ran in circles around the Alpha, before pulling at once.


    Around its body, crystalline threads had been wrapped.


    These weren’t enough to keep it from moving because of its great size, but that wasn’t important to the Paru.


    The restraints were barely tight enough for the Alpha to feel them.


    ‘It’s still wet…’ The invisible Paru grinned. ‘This is perfect.’


    Spiderweb Production Lv.3 X Electrical Discharge Lv.2.


    [You have Developed the Skill “Paralyzing Electric Threads” through “Skill Merge”!]


    Just as the name suggested, as electricity started coursing through the crystalline threads and reached the Alpha’s body, its muscles immediately started twitching.


    ‘These crystalline threads are just too good.’


    From the way that the Alpha’s muscles were twitching uncontrobly, it was clear that the electricity would paralyze it for a bit, as the Skill’s name suggests.


    ‘The effect is even better since its body is wet.’


    The Paru let go of the threads, but that didn’t mean that the paralyzing effect would stop so soon.


    The Alpha, despite being unable to move, could tell where the area upied by the Paru when he was holding the threads.


    After letting go of them, Invisibility allowed him once again to hide his position.


    A secondter though, his position was revealed.


    ‘Roka would love this one.’ The Paru thought with a smile, as his left hand passed over his dearm.


    de of Bones Lv.2 X Electrical Discharge Lv.2


    [You have Developed the Skill “Lightning de” through “Skill Merge”!]


    ‘Cool name…’ The Paru thought to himself, though the name was unnecessary.


    Electricity was violently moving through his de arm, as if lightning itself had been wrapped around that de arm.


    ‘Uses a crazy amount of Endurance Points. Probably because bones aren’t good conductors of electricity.’


    The Paru had slightly altered the de arm, so that it wouldn’t be as sharp on the lower portion but would, instead, have a very sharp tip.


    ‘Wonder how deep I’ll be able to pierce through.’ The Paru thought to himself.


    The next moment, he ran forward as fast as he could, and thrust his de arm covered by lightning into the Alpha’s body!


    The de cut through the Alpha’s skin and muscles like butter, and once the Paru felt the resistance increase,


    Explosive eleration!


    By using the Skill through both the holes in his ankles and those in his de arm, the Paru managed to,


    Swoosh!


    Bleugh!


    Stter!


    Completely pierced through the Alpha’s body.


    The lightning dissipated, and the de arm turned back to normal.


    The Paru let out a satisfied sigh, as the Alpha’s body fell to the ground, bleeding heavily.


    He rotated his right shoulder, turning towards the pond which was four dozen meters away.


    Because they weren’t too far, the Wizzos had watched the fight go down.


    Their first instinct when the Paru’s eyesid on them…


    “Good.”


    Was to run away.


    The Paru Devoured the Alpha as fast as he could.


    He couldn’t possibly go back to the spaceship this way.


    He still felt a bit dizzy, and was covered in blood.


    Additionally, for the first time in a very long time, he felt dehydrated.


    The Paru took hold of the bag in whichy unconscious creatures, and walked towards the pond which had been left empty, exclusively for him.


    The pendant hanging from his neck dangled as he plunged into the water, feeling the dried blood stains that covered his body from defeating so many being washed away by the water.


    ‘I’ll go see Raya, then Lith, then Liz, then Roka, then Rea.’ He thought to himself, letting his body float at the surfacezily. ‘I’m not sure what I want to say to Roka yet, but I’ll figure it out on the way.’


    The Paru stared at the clear water he was floating in for a moment, before taking a sip.


    “Yeah…” He chuckled. “I kind of missed that.”
