Chrysalis

Chapter 102

He certainly looks damn strong!

The size of the guy!

I think it’s fairly clear to tell that almost all of that evolutionary energy went into Might! Somewhat sadly. I really wish even a sliver of that energy had made it to buffing up his brain power.

Well, it isn’t all bad I suppose. Since Tiny has me to help him do the thinking, and he can now receive my instructions, being as good as he can at fighting is probably for the best, especially when considering the upcoming crises we will soon face.

The final thing I need to do is complete my mutations. With eleven points of Biomass to spend I’ll be able to select a mutation advancement for my legs and then upgrade my Gravitational Energy gland twice.

I open the menu eagerly not even listening to the prompts of Gandalf. Lemme check out dem legs!

Ho boy! Look at all these juicy options!

So many selections that I can choose!

Let’s see now.... Legs that stick to surfaces? Peh I can already do that... Legs with barbed spines emerging from them to stab enemies? Ouch! Legs with extra running speed, frictionless feet for sliding, legs with skin between them to allow for gliding? What the heck?

I’m tempted to take an option that just makes me faster or something plain like that but then my eyes fall on a choice that piques my interest.

[Absorption Legs, connects the core to the feet, allowing the monster to drawn in mana from the surface it is standing on].

So, if I’m running around in the Dungeon, this option will let me draw in mana from the walls and floor?! If the absorption rate is decent then this could provide the missing link to my magic practice! If I can refill my core and the even more mana hungry Gravitational Energy Gland faster they will become much more useful!

I’ll take it!

[Do you wish to select Absorption legs and improve Gravitational Energy Gland to +3? This will cost 11 Biomass]

Hit me!

FLANARGLE!

AHhhhH! The Itch!

Stupid thing!
