Rex has three Devour chances that he hasn't used as a previous reward from the System.
He hadn't gotten the chance to use any of them before.
Particularly—there were no mutated animals that were strong enough for him to want to take any of their skills. Most of them are in the seventh-rank realm and the strongest is only in the eighth-rank realm maximum.
It would be bad for him to devour mindlessly and run out of chances later on the line.
Because of that, he was saving for when the proper mutated animals to devour appeared.
As Rex also had gotten way stronger, in his cursed power—there was also no need for him to obtain any cursed-related skill from the mutated animals around. Creatures with cursed skills are abundant around the city.
It was the Humming Damned Forest, hosting myriad kinds of different cursed creatures.
But with his eternal curse power reaching the ninth epiphany already, there was no need for him to obtain any cursed skill. Additionally, taking the mind path, he practically untouchable defense against cursed energy.
Rex was aiming to gain a cursed-related skill initially, but that was not the case anymore.
Now, with the Second Breath arriving, he has a wide variety of selections.
Compared to when it was still the First Breath, the Second Breath is a buffet for Rex as there are many strong mutated animals around. It was the ti for mutated animals to shine—their might on display to the world.
Due to that, Rex gladly observes their abilities and makes his choice.
One that caught his attention was the skill of this leader of the mutated boars.
All of my attacks are flawless—at least for a mutated animal, it should be flawless. I managed to reach its back after making it think that I was attacking other mutated boars. But when the ti to launch my sneak attack ca, it dodged my attack.
Not even needing to look, this mutated boar dodged my attack.
Knowing that it must be one of its skills, Rex decided to spare it so that he could devour it.
If it's a foresight ability, then he would be extrely stronger because of it.
He could use that kind of ability, so he's going to take it.
Striding nonchalantly towards the wounded mutated boar, Rex kicked its side and forced it to fall to the ground with a painful squeal. He pinned it with his foot—before he scanned it using the System to see the skill he wanted to devour.
Reading the open panel, he found the skill that he was looking for.
"Hmm... I guess foresight would be too convenient for ," Rex mused in disappointnt.
As it turns out, the mutated boar's skill that Rex wanted was not as expected.
It was a passive skill and instead of foresight, the mutated boar's skill called Second Intuition gave the mutated boar a third eye on the back of its head—and can move in a short distance around the back of its head.
Due to the dense fur, the third eye was covered so Rex didn't realize it until now.
Rex rubbed his chin in contemplation, and finally, he asked, "System, can it be upgraded?"
