Chapter 33 Creating New Form
“Those two.” Victor said while casting a quick glare at them. Though not intended, his eyes carried a certain look to them that always felt threatening to the other party.
‘It’s still the best option to avoid them.’ Victor thought, as he moved backwards and out of their sight.
Just like he had predicted, the two humans didn’t pursue him any further and just allowed him go away. There was truly no need to engage in a fight at that moment.
Just then, while Victor made his way back through the path he came from, a system reminder came into view. While facing off against the fire-imps, Victor was superior in the aspect of physical strength, but the fire-imps dominated him with magic and he had to keep dodging since fire magic did extra damage to him. During that time, Victor may have received a system notification that he brushed off for later in order not to break his focus.
After ordering the system, the notification he had missed popped up at that exact moment like that was its first appearance.
..
[Evolution of Fire-Imp complete]
[Fire-Imp has evolved and gained a new skill].
[Level of Fire-Imp has increased]
..
“Oh? It really did gain the skill. I wonder if it’s the invisibility skill.” Victor said after looking at the notifications.

Victor still couldn’t see the stats of his legion members, so it was impossible for him to see what their stats and skills were, amongst other things. His best chance at knowing at this point was ask them. Something he couldn’t really call an option. Though he could communicate with them to an extent through feelings and a deeper connection he shares with them, there simply was no need to do so. He wasn’t going to need them in a fight anytime soon, so it made little difference.
“Come forth, Pyro.”
Just like others, the imp emerged from a cloud of black smoke and before Victor. The fire-imp hadn’t changed much, and still looked like it did, with the only noticeable new feature being the light scales that had appeared on its skin.
Victor unsummoned it and continued moving around. At this point, Victor was sure he had spent quite the amount of time on the current floor, and wanted to move to the next. First of all, he wanted to find another minotaur and complete the number of evolution material needed to create his new form. Then he also needed to find more fire-imps for the same reason.
Sending his legion out to train wasn’t an option since the probability of one of them running into the humans wasn’t low. “Let’s retrace then.” Victor said.
Since the monsters respawned, finding more was possible, the problem was the time it took for these monsters to respawn had increased, and it seemed to be taking longer. Victor had traced his steps back to where he fought the first imp, and still didn’t find any. The bones along the way did do a pretty good job of leading the way though.
‘The second minotaur might just have been my luck. I don’t think it was the same one I fought the first time.’ Victor thought to himself as thought of how much time it was taking for the fire-imps to respawn.
He had no other choice than to exercise patience. After what must have been a few days, Victor’s wait paid off, and the imps began appearing once again. Victor was sure the minotaurs would also have respawned by that time.
Just like he was doing before, Victor walked through the dungeon floor, finding the fire-imps and collecting evolution materials from eating them. Good thing these monsters’ skin weren’t on fire, if not he would get damage from eating its flesh.
Some hours passed by, and after that time, Victor was able to collect the required amount of fire-imp evolution material needed to form a new body. “This is enough.” Victor said, as he stood up.
..
Evolution Material:
-Fiery Tailed Wolf – 1000
-Zombie – 15,000
-Dungeon Bat – 5000
-Dark Poisonous Spider – 200
-Giant Forest Snake – 200
-White Mountain Tiger – 500
-Grey Lycan – 4000
-Ghost Gecko – 2000
-Mantant – 10,000
-Minotuar – 850,000
-Fire-Imp – 210,000
..
“This is truly becoming too much.” Victor said, while looking at the list of evolution materials. By now, Victor had come to realise something important concerning this evolution thing.
If he wanted to produce a creature or form with significant enhancement, having just a little evolution material didn’t do the trick, and if he was going for the skills, just incorporating some parts of a monster into his body wouldn’t work. Maybe in this regard, the whole process of evolution went past just being a super chimera. Creating entirely new species was possible, and was the best option if he wanted to maximize the benefits. After getting a good form, he could then incorporate other aspects of different creatures into himself.
‘What if I incorporate the parts before undergoing a major evolution? That’s also possible I guess. This just points out that my second form is needed.’ Victor said in his mind. This may be the first thing he tries out.
After finding a relatively secluded area to stay, Victor spoke to the system.
“System, begin creation of my second form.” Victor said calmly.
