[rmaid (Mutating)]
[Type: Creature]
[Quality: Elite]
[Level: 5]
[Tier: Extraordinary]
[Explanation: From the enchanting romantic legends, it’s not hard to imagine their beauty, but unfortunately, she is undergoing a terrifying mutation.]
Amid the Mysterious Sea, an island and ocean of wonders.
Rogel, of course, had thought about rmaids.
He had even once caught a rmaid’s starfish.
But he had never imagined that his first encounter with a rmaid would be in this form.
He took a deep breath to calm his nerves.
Rogel glanced around at the other creatures, most either dead or unconscious.
Only this rmaid could still speak.
Yes, speak!
She actually had the ability to communicate with Rogel!
And her voice didn’t seem to co from her mouth, rather it was like a form of Mind Communication.
Now it seed that the previous mysterious voice was hers.
But, why?
How could she have located him so accurately?
It should be known that Rogel was currently in an Underwater Cave, using the Deep Sea Blood Touch—a terrifying Clone of a creature.
Rogel thought calmly for a mont.
[Are you speaking?]
He questioned the rmaid in his mind.
[Yes... I am...]
The rmaid weakly nodded.
[Can you... save ...]
Rogel frowned.
He decided to rescue the rmaid from the wall first.
Approaching her, he extended his Giant Claw to grasp the at tendrils attached to her shoulder blade, slicing them off with his sharp Bone Blade, severing the blood touch instantly.
Yet what was chilling was the shrill sound that followed, like a mouse’s squeal when the tendrils broke.
[Ah!]
The rmaid let out a pained cry.
The tendrils on the other side contracted with terrible force.
With a squelch!
The rmaid’s right shoulder exploded in a spray of blood.
Swiftly, Rogel extended his tentacle to the root on the wall and brutally tore it off.
Severing the tendrils extending from the wall, he finally managed to free her.
Then, the blood touch withdrew.
But then, mutation sudden.
Glug glug!
Blood-red bubbles rose from the wall.
The rmaid’s wound continued bleeding.
And on her other side, a Mutated Tumor began to throb violently, as if sothing was about to burst forth.
Rogel wanted to ask about her condition.
But the rmaid could no longer respond, only clutching her head with her remaining good arm, wailing incessantly.
No need to ask.
Undoubtedly, her pain stemd from her body’s mutation.
Rogel had no ans to address this mutation.
Even the Crimson Fruit seed useless.
The next mont, a surprising turn of events unfolded for Rogel.
The rmaid, enduring the pain, spat out a pristine scale and handed it to him.
[mory Fish Scale]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Effect: Placing the mory Fish Scale on your forehead will reveal mory fragnts embedded by the rmaid, granting Mind Communication and Mind Perception abilities.]
Rogel looked at the scale in astonishnt.
[I beg of you...]
With her final effort to communicate, the rmaid’s body underwent complete mutation.
The mutated parts of her body surged violently.
[I... don’t want to die...]
[Ah—]
The rmaid’s horrific screams echoed in Rogel’s mind.
With a squelch!
A three-fingered hand, gripping a crimson curved Bone Blade, burst from a tumor on the rmaid’s other side.
And this was not an isolated case.
Other mutated creatures also began their terrifying transformations en masse.
Flesh and viscous liquid spread through the seawater.
One by one, creatures began their horrific mutations.
The entire space played out scenes more horrifying than any horror film.
Soon, Rogel found himself facing a group of blood-soaked, terrifying mutated monsters.
[Mutated rmaid]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Elite]
[Level: 12]
[Tier: Extraordinary]
[Description: The once beautiful rmaid is now but a wrinkled husk on its body, far removed from romance and beauty.]
[Hiss!][Roar!]
The horde of mutated monsters, with an average level around ten, roared as they charged toward Rogel.
Curiously, they were unaffected by Rogel’s Dark Concealnt Skill.
"Poor rmaid girl."
Rogel shook his head with a sigh.
He regretted not having the power to save her.
Monts later, he looked nonchalantly at the mutated creatures ahead.
These mutated beings were like stirred-up pork belly and rabbit droppings with ketchup.
Bloody, disgusting, distorted, insane.
To Rogel, they offered nothing but experience.
"The Hunger Pouch could use a snack."
With that, the Deep Sea Blood Touch began its one-sided massacre!
Bone Blades harvested life, Giant Claws crushed flesh, and six tentacles twisted like at grinder blades.
Bang!
Like a tomato ketchup packet crushed by a truck, or a waterlon dropped from high above.
One by one, the mutated monsters perished lantably as they lost their newly gained lives.
A display of suprely bloody violence!
Under the influence of the Blood Sucking Skin, the absorbed blood made the Deep Sea Blood Touch swell and turn dark red.
Surprisingly, the blood of these mutated creatures added nothing to Rogel’s mutation progress.
The Blood Sucking Skin seed to absorb only beneficial parts of the blood.
Notifications of slain enemies sprouted like mushrooms after rain.
[Your Clone Deep Sea Blood Touch has slain a Mutated Evil Worm, gaining combat experience.]
[Your Clone Deep Sea Blood Touch has slain a Mutated Winter Whale, gaining combat experience.]
[Your Clone Deep Sea Blood Touch has slain a Mutated rmaid, gaining combat experience.]
[...]
Bang!
With the last mutated monster crushed by thick, strong tentacles in a sharp cry, Rogel’s battle with the mutated creatures drew to a close.
[You found a Mutated Tumor ×1.]
[You found a Bloody Dragon Eye ×1.]
[You found a rmaid’s Tear ×1.]
[You found Shredded at ×3.]
[You found Torn Skin ×3.]
[...]
Despite having anticipated the drops, Rogel underestimated their worthlessness.
Yet among this junk, one item stood out.
Rogel retrieved it.
A pure blue drop-shaped artifact.
[rmaid’s Tear]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Special Effect: When crushed, it bestows a one-ti purification effect on creatures in abnormal states, such as poisoned, frozen, burned, or cursed (ineffective against mutation or certain special curses).]
[Explanation: Opportunists have tornted rmaids to extract these magical tears, but they often die before shedding a single tear. However, seeing her tortured, mutated comrades, she sought to purify the anguish with the power of her tears...]
Upon reading the explanation, Rogel remained silent for a long ti.
His silence led him to pick up a wrinkled rmaid skin from the ground.
The dry, broken rmaid skin appeared eerie and frightening.
Gently holding it with his tentacles, Rogel sliced away the mutated, ugly parts with his Bone Blade.
Finally, without a word, he placed the rmaid skin into the Hunger Pouch.
He sought a beautiful place for it, preferably adorned with coral and shells.
A beautiful soul must not be laid to rest in such an ugly place.
