The intense gazes of the n and won in the room made Skullius hold back his intent to eat.
What the flesh was this?!
The determination hidden in these gazes of these people was too much to be ignored and thus Skullius decided to ask what exactly was going on before doing anything rash.
“What are you all looking at?”
The burly man hurriedly fixed his visage, donning a delightful smile once again. It had suddenly dawned on him that his disposition wasn’t exactly subtle, despite that not exactly being a requirent for what he intended.
“Ahem… forgive , dear guest. We are just a bit… anxious is all. Please… eat.”
“Uhm… no. You really expect to eat when everyone is looking at like that?” Skullius gestured at one particular woman whose face was distorted; eyes bulging and her mouth downturned to produce a rather terrifying face.
The mont Skullius pointed at her, she imdiately wore a charming smile that almost dismissed the fact she looked like she would devour him a mont ago.
“Let be honest, dear guest. We haven’t had a guest like you in a very long ti. Only one other has been able to co here before you. The only ones who can co to this grand hall are those who have been seen as worthy to carry both [Just Light] and [Evil Darkness]. So, we are rather… excited.”
Skullius didn’t buy that it was that simple. These guys had pretended as if he didn’t exist just so minutes only to suddenly react now.
It didn’t take a genius to know that all these people wanted sothing from him. From the hint, it was likely that they needed him to use the two elents to assist them..
Otherwise, what other reason would they for him.
“Please guest. Have your al first,” the burly man reiterated strongly.
Skullius cautiously eyed the well served plates of food.
‘Is there sothing wrong with the food? No, they needed him alive right?’ Skullius thought.
Then why were they so insistent on making him eat?
Skullius promptly used his guidance field to check if he could see the details of the foods on the table and it turned out that it was indeed possible!
The nas of the foods were revealed to him, such as Bluntly fried chicken, Juicy raisin sparkle, almondite greens etc.
There was no ntion of poison, which made Skullius less doubtful of the possible danger he could face.
Skullius held a succulent piece of at and ripped into it with his teeth.
He couldn’t taste it, but he imagined that its taste was on a whole other level.
Also, the ability to taste was probably nice.
The piece of at he tore off rushed down his throat and was assimilated into his body just like everything else.
Skullius might have not been able to taste, but he felt a slight change in his body the mont the food began breaking down.
A surge of a peculiar essence began to perate through his body. It was like mana but a little different, making his costic flesh a little less lanky and weak.
[Your body has been strengthened. 2 Health]
“Oh… eating this actually gives so benefits. Is this the reward that the guidance system was talking about?”
The crowd surrounding him gulped as they waited. While they had their own personal agenda, they couldn’t interfere with Skullius’ journey.
They had to wait until he was done.
Skullius grabbed everything he could see and began shoving it down his word-hole!
Drinks, at, bread, vegetables!
[Your body has been strengthened. 1 health]
[Your body has been strengthened. 3 strength]
[Your body has been strengthened. 3 endurance]
[Your body has been….]
All things were downed as Skullius then felt his body getting noticeable more… noticeable. His arms grew a little thick, transcending the pathetic initial state they had been in when he first used the skill [Flesh It Like You an It].
‘This is ridiculous! So only people like get to enjoy this?! My stats are increasing so much just from this!”
“What is this?” one of the n in the crowd muttered as he saw the black hole that was Skullius, practically inhaling the food that was within the lavish plates!
“Is he even human?”
“Where is all that food going?”
“I thought only humans could enter this place to challenge for Fulgardt’s legacy?”
Skullius ignored the chatter around him that had begun to echo within the room as he continued to eat.
The quantity of food here was ridiculous. Seeing as it had lasted for thousands of years, it was impossible to finish it without adding a few zeros to the ti asuring figure.
‘Does he plan to eat everything here? How strong will he get?’ the burly man grimaced. ‘What a voracious appetite!’
When he had first been to trapped here, eating this delicious food that never ran out had been a pasti for him.
For soone who was already powerful to begin with like him, he didn’t quite get much benefits from eating all this food plus, he had a finite appetite.
Yet… this man before him whose mouth wanted to expand so more to increase the intake didn’t seem to have sothing known as restraint!
As Skullius ate, he suddenly felt a strange sensation that ran through his chest to his belly!
“What now?” he mumbled in annoyance.
His body was having a reaction again and he didn’t know which one.
Suddenly, his urge to eat vanished and sothing in his throat got clogged up.
“Huh?!”
Skullius tried to swallow the food he had in his mouth but he felt sothing block where the food was supposed to descend to.
He tried to forcefully swallow but he only ended up having to spit out the food in his mouth with a frown on his face.
What he had gained in wasn’t insignificant though.
With all the plates that he had eaten, Skullius had gained 20 points in strength, 15 points in the Endurance and 19 in health. Not every al gave points unfortunately.
Strangely, he hadn’t managed to salvage much for other attributes.
The mont Skullius showed that he had stopped eating, the burly man rushed up to Skullius with a bright smile as he took the chance to speak.
“Excuse dear guest, can I ask for a small favour?” he said.
“You want to set you free right?” Skullius said, making the burly man smile even more brightly.
“Indeed. You’re quite smart. However, we will help you get sothing in return.”
“Oh? What is that?”
“We’ll hand over the legacy of Fulgardt to you.”
