Devour My Own Path

Chapter 13: System



"System! Swallow Hunter Kang Min and Hunter Ji Yeon!"

Commemoration! currently the master has reached the rank of UR. And for the absorption level, SR will change to 1, SSR 3 and UR 5.

"Don't you love me anymore?"

.....

"You don't understand a joke! Whatever, I just want their skills"

Start absorption. Target 2 SSR hunters.

Absorption is complete, the master gains 6 additional levels. The current master level is 316. Get 2 active skills, lightning manipulation and clone.

Lightning manipulation is-

"No need to explain!"

.....

"....."

.....

"Ugh, system?"

.....

"Alright, please explain"

Since the master seemed to have known his 'skill', the system was not needed for explanation.

"Isn't it like after reaching UR, you seem to have your own personality?" Hyun finds it strange that his system, which has been like a robot, acts as if he is a human with thoughts.

Finally the master came to his senses.

"Hey!!"

The conversation between the two stopped when they saw something coming out of the gate.

At first glance the creature resembles a human, walks on two legs and has arms. But it has a tail and a face.... none?

What creature is it?

The closer it gets, the clearer the shape of the creature. He is as tall as Oliver, 189 cm. And his pale skin plus his faceless self, made a terrible impression. Like an alien that is often depicted in movies.

"AS THE LAST SHOW..."

"I SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO MUTATE THE BOSS WITH SOMETHING INTERESTING!!"

"So human... give your best performance"

"WHICH OF THE TWO WILL STAND LAST??!!"

"LET'S SEE HOW 'THE GREATEST SHOW' WILL COME TO AN END!!"

"THE LAST SHOW.... begin"

Hyun prepared with his sword.

However, the aliens in front were not like carrying weapons. Both hands were empty.

What kind of monster is this?!

Hyun weighed the alien in front of him with eagle eyes.

Something surprising from Hyun's observation is that the alien in front of him has no bones, organs, or even blood vessels. Everything seemed to be empty and there was only one like a ball in the middle.

The alien still hasn't moved. But when Hyun looked closer, the ball in the middle began to split.

"Oh crap! it seems like it will be a problem if I let it."

With all of his status rising dramatically, Hyun quickly lunged at him and directed his attack at the ball. Hyun cut it horizontally.

Huh! what!?

The attack that should have hit the ball, became missed because suddenly the ball moved.

The alien body split, fell with both balls on each of its severed bodies.

Slowly on his body that had been cut, a new body began to form.

Knowing something was wrong, Hyun tried to cut the ball again. However, the legs of his lower body were severed, suddenly forming a sword and resisting Hyun's attack.

"What? How can he uses aura?!"

Hyun immediately stepped back to observe the situation. "Hey system! Could it be that the creature was like... amoeba?"

True master!

"Isn't it just necessary to cut the point? And what the hell is that core that can move?!"

It seems that the creature has a very high adaptation skill, master.

As Hyun talks to the system, the aliens have perfected into two individuals. One of them formed his hand into a sword and the other formed a shield.

"Damn!"

"Looks like I have to finish off one of them first"

Hyun held tightly to his aura-infused sword and focused his vision on the alien core that made up the sword.

With teleportation, Hyun is right behind the sword-wielding alien who is positioned behind the other alien.

Trang!!

"No way!! Is it that in an instant, this alien is imitating my teleportation?"

The two aliens swapped positions. Making the shielded one resist Hyun's attack. Even to restrain Hyun, the shield was also coated with aura.

As if seizing an opportunity, the sword-wielding alien teleports to Hyun's back, ready to slash him.

"You got caught!"

When the sword-wielding aliens arrived behind Hyun, as the distance between them was less than a meter, Hyun quickly twisted his body and swung his sword into the core of the sword-wielding alien.

Succeed!

Sword-wielding aliens split apart with their shattered core.

"It seems that with a quick and unexpected attack, it can overcome it"

Once again Hyun teleported. Now the target is armored aliens.

As soon as Hyun was behind him and ready to slash, an arrow shot through the armored alien's body. Right in the direction of Hyun.

"What?!"

Luckily, Hyun immediately regained consciousness and blocked it. Then he retreated to keep his distance.

The sword-wielding alien that Hyun managed to overthrow, has now split himself and now has increased to 3. With an arrow as his weapon.

"Though it's obviously that I cut—" Hyun realized. "No way! Did I cut it while splitting?!"

"Damn! It becomes even more difficult if I use my skills!"

Wait!

"Hey system! Is it possible that the alien can only imitate what he sees. Which means a passive skill can't be replicated?!"

No master! It seems like the alien can mimic anything it sees, feels, and experiences in an instant.

"What? Isn't that cheating?!"

Isn't master the same?

"Hey! This is not the time to joke!"

An arrow flew towards him. And in an instant, the sword-wielding alien was behind him.

But, it seemed like the alien was devoted to fighting the master.

"What do you mean?" asked Hyun as he continued to dodge and occasionally give a counterattack that seemed to be in vain.

The alien was created only to imitate one person perfectly. If this was a group battle, then the master would be able to win easily.

"Haha, unfortunately it's impossible"

The fight continued until the aliens increased to 5 by forming their respective weapons spear and greatsword. In the middle of the fight, Hyun remembered a plan.

"How about gathering them at one point and burning them all down?"

Be careful master! We don't yet know what abilities were added to the aliens.

"Wouldn't burning it with white flame and adding lightning to kill it instantly? It's worth a try"

Nimbly, Hyun moves back and forth to lure the aliens in a straight line. Because it only focused on Hyun, the alien followed Hyun's movements without feeling suspicious.

"Is this alien unable to think?"

What does the master forget? The alien has no brain.

"Ah...."

One of his skills, clone. Hyun took advantage of the right momentum to come out and launch his attack.

When he felt that the alien's position was appropriate, Hyun abandoned his clone, making it look as if he was preparing to launch an attack.

At that moment, Hyun teleported in the opposite direction of the clone. Making his sword enveloped in white flames enveloped by lightning.

Above, Kang Min and Ji Yeon seemed surprised to see Hyun who pulled out the skill. Beside him, Satan seemed to be smiling broadly as if enjoying every performance.

Without making his enemy conscious, Hyun launched his attack. Prepare to burn the alien to the ground.

"Feel this, you fucking a*hole!!"

The attack of white flames enveloped by lightning struck the aliens and Hyun's clone. An extremely powerful and hot attack that could even melt the arena floor.

That should be what Hyun thought.

In front of there, the alien alien is not only still standing. The scratch wound was not even visible on his pale skin.

Impossible.

"HAHAHA!! the creature is a mixture of a tardigrade that is almost impossible to kill, an amoeba that can even become a new individual and an adaptation of a creature's peak"

Kang Min and Ji Yeon, who were sitting there, looked incredulous that the semi-immortal creature could be created. They were afraid that such a creature would come out and destroy everything.

After receiving Hyun's attack, the alien can now emit lightning and also a white flame from the aura.

Hyun already has nothing to win against the aliens. Slowly, he was pushed back and the longer the fight lasted, the more aliens split up.

"Damn! If it continues like this, I'll be cornered and die."

"HEY!! FIGHT!"

"THIS IS THE LAST SHOW! SHOW ALL YOUR STRENGTH! FIGHT TO THE LAST DROP OF BLOOD!!"

It can be seen that Satan who is emotional and kicks his leg in annoyance.

The entire arena also began to throw ridicule and disappointment.

Hyun didn't bother with all that. Or rather, he couldn't hear it because he was too focused on the fight that was cornering him even more.

The fight, which was originally just one alien, now fills all arenas. Making Hyun stuck in the middle of it.

Sweat and blood drenched her clothes. His knees and grips began to falter. His sunken eyes indicated that he was very tired.

"A boring show..."

Satan said coldly while staring angrily at the show below.

"If this is the case... I'll kill them all..."

Very intimidating intonation. Making Kang Min and Ji Yeon feel a sense of despair for the first time. They thought maybe this was the end and then caught up with a colleague who had fallen earlier.

One of the aliens walked towards Hyun carrying a sword.

Hyun's gaze began to dim, unable to tell if it was the alien he had fought the first time or not.

The alien raised his sword, ready to put an end to all this. And Hyun who had reached his limit, even after moving his stats to stay standing, his body began to fall forward. Towards the alien.

"I'll leave it all to you, system..."

Hyun fainted.

Special conditions are met.

Starting to take over the master's body.

Huuu....

The sword aimed at Hyun,

Zrashh!

Instantly the alien's hand was severed.

Everyone was silent. Don't know what has happened. And why suddenly the alien's hand was severed.

Hyun got up again. Raising his head up, breathing in the air hard.

"Haaaaa...."

"So this is what it feels like to breathe..."

When out of control, Hyun's appearance will change according to the system.

His hair, which was previously red, now turns black with white strokes. The color of his eyes also changed to black with the middle part white.

His hair and eyes were not like humans. There was something like a black flame that made it look like it was on fire. And there was also a strange stream of black and white color on his body.

"Those eyes...."

"YOU...!!"

"HAHAHAHA INTERESTING!!"

Satan laughed very loudly when he saw Hyun's change.

Kang Min and Ji Yeon looked confused, not understanding what happened to Hyun.

"He... like being possessed by something," said Ji Yeon as if speaking to her.

Before the alien whose hand had been cut off, his body suddenly disappeared.

Hyun looked at his sword, "five minutes, huh..."

The aliens in front of him was seen shaking.

"HAHA!! Do you want to imitate me?!"

"It's not as small as the earth!!"

Zrashh!! crash!

Several aliens were cut off at once, no longer dividing.

Unaware of being unable to replicate Hyun's power, the alien begins to gang up on him.

"COME TO ME!!"

"SATISFY MY DESIRE!!"

One by one the aliens were destroyed by Hyun without a fight.

"WEAK! TOO WEAK!"

"HAHAHAHA!!"

Hyun kept cutting again and again. The aliens who had originally surrounded him, now only one remained, right in front of him.

Hyun polished his sword, "is my strength not accepted here?"

"I need a strong opponent to satisfy my desire..."

"Oh yeah, there's one."

Hyun looked at Satan who was standing there. His terrible smile couldn't be separated from Hyun being possessed by the system.

"But before that..."

Hyun looked back at the aliens. He is getting closer little by little.

Quickly, Hyun's hand pierced through the alien's body and took the core in his chest.

He looked at it.

"So this is the source of your strength"

The core, which is the size of a human head, is pressed down to the size of a marble.

Hyun swallowed it.

Then he looked at Satan again.

"It's time to eat you," he said with a smile full of desire.

Clap!

Without anyone looking, Hyun's punch was suddenly held back by Satan.

"Somehow it feels like when it swallows you..."

"Is devouring my protector, less for you?"

"Hahaha, aren't you too greedy?!"

"Damn! Seems almost time to leave"

Hyun released his fist and looked at Satan confidently.

"Will you release us after this?"

Satan twisted his hand which was holding Hyun's fist. "Of course, especially that last show..."

"And don't worry about the dungeon conquest reward, I'll give it specifically to you guys"

Hyun looked at Kang Min and Ji Yeon, "You guys heard that? Please take care of my body, okay?"

"Oh forgot! Don't tell anyone about this"

Hyun thought for a moment.

"Yes sooner or later people will see me"

After saying that, Hyun suddenly fainted and fell into Satan's arms.

"Oops!!"

Tap!

Hyun is now sitting asleep next to Kang Min. "Please take care of that"

"Ahem.. check check..."

"WHAT ABOUT THE 'LAST SHOW' JUST NOW?!"

"DO YOU FEEL THE ATMOSPHERE??!!!"

A very lively cheer filled the gladiatorial arena.

"OKAY, OKAY..."

"HEREBY I, THE SINFUL CLOWN, SATAN.."

"THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EYES WATCHING"

"Let's see you next time..."

Satan attached his hat as a form of respect. When he put his hat back on, a plume of smoke appeared and filled his body. Making it disappear, typical of the final greetings of magicians.

After disappearing, a flicker sounded. And everything turned white.

The three of them had been outside the dungeon in a blue color that signified that they had finished conquering.
