Ch 77 – Snake Hunter

Inside a dense forest full of overgrown trees and plants, Kyouma was seen walking through it without struggle as if he was born in this forest his whole life with agile movement as he pierces through the forest like a snake.

And that wasn't the end, in his mouth was a bundle of leaves that he constantly chews on and that shouldn't be correct as humans are not able to eat leaves because their body just doesn't allow it.

"Yawn, this is kinda boring, still no monsters in sight" muttered Kyouma while he slid through the trees with ease for a couple of minutes with his body rapidly changing by the minute as if he was blending in with the forest with each passing moment.

But it seems like his wishes were granted as he felt his danger sense going off and with that, he jump high above the air while a loud roar was heard behind him.

And as Kyouma looks down at the ground, he saw something that shock him a bit.

As he looks down, a gigantic snake the size of a small house and a few tens of meters long was sliding through the ground below him eating the trees around them with its wide-open mouth razing the surrounding area around them with its massive body that speeds through the forest.

"Holy shit, a fucking A rank monster!?" said Kyouma as his eyes widen for a bit until they squinted with a mischievous sheen.

"An A rank monster all for myself, don't mind if I do!" shouted Kyouma as his right arm inflated to a ridiculous degree that it became the size of the trees around them and that wasn't the end as his arms seems to harden like a rock.

"HA!" shouted Kyouma as he swings his arms downwards with a grin that directly collides with the snake's gigantic body and made it flatten for a bit while a shriek of pain was heard in the distance.

"ROAR!" exclaimed the snake in the distance as its flattened body rebounded back to normal while it swung its body towards Kyouma flinging him into the distance.

"HAHA!" laughed Kyouma in glee as his whole body started to respond to the stress he was putting it in along with his enlarged arm now shrinking back to normal but still retaining the same amount of strength and his body used that imbalance in muscle strength to make it balance making his whole body stronger as a whole.

And that wasn't the end, soon, Kyouma started to breathe in a certain pattern as veins popped up on his body like coiled dragons.

As he looks at the dense forest in front of him, the resounding sound of trees falling down and the snake's large body sliding through the ground was heard and its open maw suddenly appears in front of him out of nowhere but he responded with a large grin.

"Checkmate!" shouted Kyouma as his whole body got swallowed by the snake but that was a part of his plan as once he was inside the giant snake's most vulnerable part, he could start destroying it from the inside out.

As Kyouma started to take a big deep breath, his throat and lungs started to rapidly change in an unnatural way, with a grin, he opened his mouth and came a loud.

"ROAR!" shouted Kyouma with an ear-shattering roar inside the vulnerable insides of the snake while blood ruptured all around him that mixed with the acidic liquid all around him that burns his whole body but it also made it evolve further in response as Kyouma stayed there without feeling any pain due to his pain receptors being turned off and after a while, he felt the snake directly dying and with a chuckle, he grips the fleshy walls around him and tears a gigantic hole he could go through.

"Whew!" shouted Kyouma as he walks through the hole and got out of the snake to see its corpse lying beside him.

"Well, thanks for the feast!" said Kyouma with a grin as he walks to a random part of the gigantic snake and stops in front of the head, with drool in his mouth, he opened it wide, so wide in fact it was as big as his whole body and with big bites, he ate the whole head section of the snake in a few minutes including the bones that his teeth even shattered in some bites due to how hard the bones and scales were but all was fine as all of them regrew back stronger than before.

Letting out a big burp, Kyouma felt his whole body stronger than before by fighting that giant snake that put his body under a tremendous amount of stress and he was sure if he turned on his pain receptors he would be shrieking on the ground in pain right now.

"Sigh, fighting is really helpful for my evolution, I wonder when I will have to use Limit Breaker though, maybe at a certain point I will go past the normal process of evolution and start to become a magical being, sigh, still no magic, I should have started to learn it normally a few days ago" I muttered in regret while scales started to appear all around my body that was colored green and it is certainly harder than diamonds.

"Well, it's time to see if I can really do what I imagined," said Kyouma while looking at the gigantic snake beside him that will take him a full day to eat if he does it normally, but he's a cheater and he plans to do something about it.

As he looked at his hands with furrowed brows, his fingers started to fuse with each other in a grotesque manner as his fingers then fuse with his palms then from the middle, a red line started to appear while the insides of his arms were rapidly changing as a throat-like tube started to appear from the bones.

And after a while, his masterpiece was born!

"ARM HANDS!" shouted Kyouma with a wide grin as he spoke through his arm hands and it was near perfect with only some imperfections here and there but it is already fixing itself with rapid evolutions.

"THIS! THIS IS THE PEAK OF EVOLUTION! AHAHAHAHA!" Kyouma laughed like a mad man as he looks at his hands with a manic grin and with that, they slowly enlarge to an unnatural degree like rubber.

"Oh yeah, I could have asked for some slime from Roro, I could slowly incorporate a slime's physiology into my body, sigh, maybe I can encounter one later," I said while my arms elongated like a rubbery snake as this rubber property was due to change in my chemical structure and some other stuff.

"Let's do this!" I shouted while shooting my hands towards the snake-like twin dragons that soar through the sky, and with wide gaping mouths, they rapidly ate the whole snake as nutrients flowed through my body high time with my muscles rapidly growing in strength but it's still far away from the likes of Dragons and other S rank monsters.

After a while, I finally finished eating the whole snake that spanned a few tens of meters, and energy coursed through my body like a raging river as the snake's flesh got transformed into pure energy with my highly evolved digestive track.

"Sigh, and I could still one-shot myself if I had my previous gear, Louis is so fucking broken," I said with a grin because it just means more fun to me trying to become stronger than the other nine, and perhaps the biggest threat of them all is Kilt as I saw his power rapidly rising from the past few days.

"Oh wait, I'm fucking lost," I said as I realized that I was far off from my previous path along with my clothes now destroyed from the acid so I was fully naked with my third arm dangling from my leg, and by third arm I mean a literal third arm.

As I look down at my third arm that flexes its biceps towards me, I chuckled at this monstrosity I made a few days ago and I consider this my secret trump card because when I am fighting another person they won't expect my dick to just suddenly spew out a fucking arm and directly grab their crotch and just claw it out!

"HAHAHA!" as that bloody image filled my mind, I jerk off my third arm and laughed harder at how ridiculous this looked.

"Whew, I should revert my dick back to normal later," I said with a grin while a set of clothes rapidly spew out from my body as this new set of clothes I was wearing is 100% organic made from my own flesh.

With a grin still on my face, my wings spew out of my lab coat and I directly flew towards the air to look around for any general direction I would go for but no landmarks are in sight so, with a sigh, I just picked a random direction and flew towards there at a relatively fast pace.

AN: This is 1544 words, you're welcome.

The third arm just came to my mind while writing this chapter and I found it too hilarious to pass on so now his third arm is canon.

The Sword of Damocles hangs above each and everyone one of you with its ever present threat of despair, so send me some power stones with your power of friendship and save the thousands perhaps even millions to come who will read this masterpiece immortalized in the tunnels of time.
