5 Feeding Complete. Enhanced Skill: Leg of Piercing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Was this juvenile purple-footed spider's characteristic 'swift'?

No wonder it moved so fast when it burst out just now.

Looking at the notification that appeared on the screen in front of him, Hopper suddenly had a question in his heart.

Since this juvenile purple-footed spider's characteristic was 'swift', then, what was with its spear-like spiked forelegs?

Could it be that every juvenile spider was born with individual differences?

Ka-cha! Ka-cha! Ka-cha!

Before Hopper could think further, a series of crisp sounds interrupted his train of thought.

Looking up, Hopper realized that the blue spider, which had been watching the battle while holding its eggs suddenly began to eat faster after his battle.

It seemed to have seen Hopper's inescapable silk.

It had developed an additional sense of crisis and fear.

From its only survival instinct, it seemed that the battle just now was just a warm-up exercise.

The real battle had just begun!

Seeing the baby blue spider lowering its head and continuously gnawing on the spider eggs, Hopper also gave up thinking about where the baby purple-legged spider's spiky forelegs came from.

He chose to continue biting the baby purple-legged spider that was wrapped in spider silk below him.

Anyway, as long as he kept eating, the mythical-level talent 'Unlimited Enhancement' would allow him to obtain special characteristics and enhancement points.

An example would be the special characteristic he had just obtained, 'swift', and the special characteristic he had previously obtained, 'hard'.

Perhaps, in the following battle, they would be able to display a miraculous effect.

Thinking of this, Hopper's biting strength increased by a notch.

Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath him shaking. It was the young purple-legged spider underneath him that was in pain.

It began to shake violently, trying to throw Hopper off its back.

At this point, you'd better behave yourself!

Hopper's eight small eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fierce look.

After enough acid was secreted from its mouth...

He suddenly opened his upper and lower jaws, biting towards the head of the young purple-legged spider.

Crack!

Along with a clear sound, the young purple-legged spider under Hopper completely lost its life force.

[Absorbing 'Anzor juvenile spider'. Strengthening Points +1.]

[Absorbing 'Anzor juvenile spider'. Strengthening Points +1.]

[...]

It was different from absorbing the liquid after the membrane and eggshell were corroded by the acid.

While Hopper was eating the young purple-footed spider's corpse, notifications kept popping up on the light screen in front of him.

He could clearly feel his stomach bulging and digesting after eating.

The digested corpse of the purple-legged spider turned into strange energy in his body.

When Hopper finished devouring the two spiked forelegs of the purple-legged spider, the energy in his body seemed to have finished accumulating, and a different notification popped up on the light screen.

[You are eating the spiked forelegs of the Anzor spider juvenile. You can increase the strength of the forelegs by consuming strengthening points.]

Increase the strength of his forefoot? Was this what his talent meant by increasing the strength of a specific part of his body?

Hopper, who had long been curious about the forefoot of the purple-footed juvenile spider, saw the notification on the screen in front of him.

Without hesitation, he chose to consume strengthening points to increase the strength of his forefoot.

As Hopper made his choice, the energy accumulated in his body seemed to have found a vent.

Like a torrent of lava, it surged toward Hopper's two front feet.

It's hot! It's hot!

Hopper ate the purple-footed spider's corpse and felt his front feet begin to transform.

After a while, his two front feet turned into spear-like spikes like the purple-footed spider's.

I thought that 'strengthening certain parts of the body' was simply to increase strength.

It was just like how humans could turn fat into muscle through training.

I did not expect that they could change their bodies at will!

This was a 'divine power'!

'Unlimited Enhancement' was indeed a mythical level talent!

I should continue to eat and continue to explore its ability!

Hopper looked at his two front legs that had turned into spikes and clicked his tongue in wonder.

Then, he lowered his head and continued to eat the purple-footed spider's corpse.

After Hopper had absorbed all eight legs of the purple-footed spider, another notification appeared on the light screen.

[By eating the 'Anzor juvenile spider's spiked front legs', you have learned the black-iron rank skill 'Leg of Piercing'.]

[Leg of Piercing's current skill level is level 1. Do you wish to use up strengthening points to increase this skill?]

Black-iron rank skill Leg of Piercing? 

So the young purple-footed spider had learned the skill as well.

Hopper tapped on the notification on the screen.

As the screen flashed open, the description of Leg of Piercing's skill was displayed in front of Hopper.

[Skill: Leg of Piercing. Black-iron rank level 1]

[Effect: raises spear-like spikes and thrusts. Under the status of 'charge', the damage of this skill will gradually increase!]

No wonder it was willing to take the risk of being entangled by my spider silk to maintain its accelerated attack.

If my spider silk did not have the special property 'tenacity', my unprotected abdomen would definitely be penetrated.

It would be pierced through by its 'Legs of Piercing', which had increased its damage!

After realizing this, Hopper looked at the juvenile blue spider. The blue spider looked at him with a lingering fear.

The opponent had almost finished eating the spider egg. If that was the case, this juvenile blue spider probably has a special skill too!

And it's almost finished eating, so I can't fall behind!

Hopper once again increased the speed at which he ate the juvenile purple-footed spider's corpse.

He then chose to use his strengthening points to increase his new skill, Leg of Piercing.

[Leg of Piercing has been upgraded to level 2, and gained the 'hard' outer shell property of the Anzor egg.]
