The Evolving Stealth System Chapter 48: Flesh Puppet

Duncan turned around as the smoke cleared around Wormy's chrysalis, so he didn't notice the girl with the scythe standing in the center of the room heaving impatiently…

[Ding! Wormy has completed his evolution and has developed a new skill, flesh malleability… and Wormy has transformed into a flesh imp after finishing the transformation!]

"What… after all this time… so, damn it, what will happen to my skill, summon flesh worm…?"

[Ding!]

[Hosts flesh worm has turned into a flesh imp now, and he is also still a flesh worm… Regardless, host needs to focus on impending battle, or else host will offend the master of the tower…]

"Alright… However, wait... what does that mean...."

[Ding! Flesh malleability allows Wormy to take on other flesh forms its been exposed to, so host can also still theoretically have a flesh worm in his arsenal, but because of the stone catalyst it has the ability to take on other creatures forms...]

"So, if I took it, I wouldn't have needed to evolve?"

[Ding! You have a comparable mid-grade skill in systems database that host hasn't learned yet, and your power level would've not increased without evolving naturally... Hence, it is recommended to focus on the battle because your opponent seems impatient.]

"Well, then... let's do this little guy..." Duncan pat the slightly shorter Worm Imp on its head as a gigantic sickle caused him to duck and role...

He discovered on the 8th level the scythe girl had a detachable sickle with imbedded chains in the shaft of the pole.... She almost killed him on that level, and he spun away as Wormy extended his claw towards her like a flesh golem...

Of course, this girl dodged easily, and not to mention it looked odd seeing Wormy run...

He always crawled, and Duncan got quite used to seeing him crawl...

Regardless, Wormy hadn't been trained in any martial arts yet, and she appeared by Duncan's side as he used a move very dear to his heart…

It looked like three shadows appeared around his body, and the king of the tower and the Lich Soul watched the battle with both joy and surprise....

They were pleased with Duncan's inheritance memories, and one of them felt much more jealous than the other while the other contemplated what to give him…

Obviously, the former was the Lich King, and Duncan began thinking of Nyla…

This skill had been taught to him by her family's sect elder, and it felt odd using it in another world… Her family gave it to him because when they married he got access to her sect's inheritance tablets, and using this skill ghost tempest arts made him remember that night she died…

Complete sadness and overwhelming rage had overcome him during that time...

He went on a killing spree for 300 days, and 299 nights, until her burial finally occurred back in her family's sect burial grounds…

Since she died in space, he had plenty of opportunities to invade the neighboring interstellar demon exploration teams, and he whiped away the scythe girl's blade as he flipped away from her attacks!

SWOOSH!

He looked like a ghost using this skill, and his opponent Levana kept trying harder and harder to guess which shadow it was!

'IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD TO HIT HIM!'

She tried her hardest to hit anything but Alberta and Bernie, and her face slammed into the floor Wormy's foot pounded into her back….

At the same time, the lich soul and the master of the tower both watched and nodded their heads…

"Hmmm, if he can really defeat my ultimate creation… let him choose three rewards, and after that kick him out…" The master of the tower crossed his arms speaking towards the Lich Soul…

"Master… but, he's perfect for your inheritance…" The Lich soul looked down at Duncan and then up at his master because this actually seemed like great news!

It came down to legacy…

If another great necromancer ruled this string dimension, then… what about his reputation... A second later, he smiled as Duncan flew into the wall as a flesh arm began squeezing into his head…

"Heh… he's too perfect… He doesn't need my help… Plus, I want that girl to go with him…" He pointed towards Levana, the girl with the long arm, as Duncan just realized he wasn't fighting a normal lesser demon…

Her arm extended out of her body like the flesh golems he just fought for 36 hours, and he activated death possession as he used his second to last Icarus venom bomb…

[Ding! Death possession has negated 8000 damage, and host is warned to get out of the smoke!]

"Ugh… she's like fighting a high level boss in a video game!" Duncan's face got cut by a scythe and finally Wormy exploded sending her flying towards his sword…

"Sorry, but I only have 59 hours left…" He put a flesh venom bomb into her chest as she landed in front of him, and suddenly he couldn't see his surroundings…

"Enough! Get away from my niece, you win!"
