It was soft but resilient, he wondered if he could use it to imitate the humans.
Yet, he was too weak and his conscience was still too spread, his thoughts only lasted for a few days before disappearing completely.
He spent hundreds of years like that.
Dying, eating, thinking, he felt the death of each worm, he felt the hunger of each worm.
Then, a change happened.
The humans began to feel threatened by them and decided to leave only a few beasts after their cleansing.
Those few remaining beasts fought themselves for the privilege of eating their dead companions, leaving only one of them alive.
Noah's will was finally concentrated in a single beast again.
The feeling was amazing, he had a clear mind and he could finally think before following his instincts.
That allowed him to survive more easily, it allowed him to actively choose when to develop his pack and when to resort to cannibalism, it finally allowed him to actively use his body to imitate the humans.
Then, Noah saw himself.
He watched the entire fight against Daniel and his group from the point of view of the rank 4 creature.
Noah held on, his body was filled with injuries but he still performed the technique that he had spent years to create.
Yet, those efforts were in vain, he ultimately died again at the hands of the humans.
His will remained but it didn't spread to other beasts, it was held captive in a barrel inside his lifeless head.
Then Noah saw himself picking the Bloodline Inheritance and nearing it to his forehead, he felt himself disappearing, fusing with the mind of the human.
It was at that moment that Noah woke up and his consciousness returned to his human body.
He released an inhumane screech before thrashing himself around while holding his head, he felt as if his mental sphere was going to explode!
It took him a while to calm down, his mind was still sore, he couldn't asses its actual improvements.
However, he could focus again on the room and watch what he had done while he was dreaming.
The room was almost destroyed, Noah could see as every piece of furniture had been broken and bitten.
There were bite marks everywhere!
Noah inspected his mouth and found many pieces of wood between his teeth.
'Don't tell me that I have actually eaten part of the room.'
Noah inspected his body but found nothing wrong with it, even if he had eaten something strange, there were no apparent consequences.
'That was so strange, I have completely lost myself in the experiences of the worms. What a pitiful life they have.'
Noah clearly remembered every sensation of when he was a worm.
Yet, as a human, he couldn't imagine being completely driven by his instincts, his mind was simply too complex.
'That hunger… Is that what every magical beast feels? No wonder they are so aggressive, they literally need to eat or they would go mad.'
Noah could only have those few considerations before deciding that he was too tired.
The process of absorbing the Bloodline Inheritance had exhausted him, he needed to recover to assess his actual gains.
He went to sleep on the remaining part of the bed, hoping to have dreamless sleep.
