"Is the mental corrosion the corrosion from the skill No.17:Predatory Instincts? is it why i feel excitement when i hunt something?"
"Affirmative to the hosts two questions"
"Shouldnt it be a Hunters instincts then? a predator i believe doesnt enjoy the hunt but a hunter does"
"Host the skill names dont always reference what the skill executes"
"That sounds like an excuse though..."
"Would the host like to delete Abyssal Flame Immunity(self)?'
"Ah no thank you very much, you are very intelligent ang magnanimous"
The scene of lizzy talking to herself was now once again seen by the rat king which is now bleeding on the ground after ripping a ton of flesh just to protect the converting core, black flames blazing ang burning the ripped flesh and even evaporating the rat kings blood, releasing a putrid odour, lizzy walked towards the rat king and albeit having many chunks removed and lowering its genode count lizzy believed it was a waste not to get the little bit of genode from him, so she ate him in three crunchy bites.
Lizzy looked at the core and was able to get a closer look at the black mass, it was a wall of splattered and veiny flesh, the veins pulsing and each pulse targeted the center of the flesh mass which was a dark purple stone slowly being created using the life force of the queen and offerings.
"Hmm i wonder, should i let it finish here or take it with me to finish so i can get the maximum genodes?"
"Host it is recommended that the host takes it, with the current rate of the abyssal flames it should cause the hastening of the soil drying causing the caving in of the cave burying anything within the vicinity"
"Ill take it then since the choices are, eat it and get less, get buried with it, and take it with me, id rather get maximum so im taking it and the lance"
Lizzy walked up to the lance and added it to her inventory, she then went and touched the core adding it to her inventory again, with the core gone the mass of flesh wiggled and stopped pulsing, it rotted in a visible speed and then the entire cave shook.
"I really shouldve expected an Ind*ana Jones situation here considering the places layout, so theres one thing to do now NIGERUNDAYO!!"
Lizzy swiftly ran to the stairway at her top speed and as soon as she got out of the the door, the roof of the room collapsed giving her no time to read what was written on the wall since looting came first as a priority, she ran up the stairs and then the roof of the stairs collapsed right behind her, with her top speed she was able to escape the stairway and run towards the only exit of the miniboss room, which as soon as she arrived had already been half buried.
Lizzy kept up her sprint to the exit climbing walls to get past the flames while the roof caved, a massive stone then dropped from the ceiling and started to roll her direction.
"WHAT IN THE HELL!?!!!"
She finally exited the cave after a few minutes of rigorous sprinting, fresh air hit her face and dusty air slammed the back of her head, the rock that was following her was buried by the caved in soil which saved her from getting squished, she bet that the commotion would attract something big so she immediately ran towards the forest.
"Phew does that finish my tasks?"
lizzy heard two pings and she was sure it was for the rat king and the walking simulator quest, she got the 2000 genodes and a possible bonus of 5000 once the core is completed which is a large amount for her considering its a bonus from the rat king.
"That gets me halfway closer to my final strengthening and finally my first evolution, i shouldve read non human main character novels to atleast compare my situation with theirs but then i wouldnt have time for my beloved romance once, nah lets forget about it for now"
Lizzy walked back to the village ang mansion where she caught the loli offender and decided to test in a room with a couch or bed that can be used, even though she was now a giant lizard she still wanted to rest in comfort especially after expending a massive amount of energy just to run.
"Damn Ind*ana jones mustve done a lot of cardio huh, i thought it was fine to not exercise since i wont get fat no matter how much i eat, i do still put some weight though, wonder where it went, okay lets forget about this as well for now since im a lizard currently and good night me"
Lizzy yawned once last time and then fell asleep but her senses were still alert, and by senses its the system.
...
A Squadron sent out to scout for dangers.
A person in full military garb was hiding in a cave with a radio on his hand, he held the radio and whispered to it as if he was trying to hide from something.
"G-golf to nest do you copy?!"
"Bzzzt Nest to Golf we hear you loud and clear over"
"Golf squadron has been wiped, i repeat Golf squadron has been wi- AAAAAHHHH!"
The radio was tossed afar and a massive hole on the ground of the cave was the only thing that was left along with a bloodstained wall.
