Chapter: 395

“Weird little creature…” Jay thought, still watching it shovel broken bits of stone and bone into its swaying jaw.

He didn’t dare to move closer and touch it, lest it suddenly do something wild like jump up and suck onto his face – Jay would let his skeletons do the dirty work, naturally.

Of course, he could still analyse it.

<[Description]>

[The result of unchecked, twisted magical experiments; combined with a yearning for offspring.].

“Such low health… completely defenceless…” he felt sorry for the pathetic creature. It could barely crawl away, in fact, it didn’t even bother as it went back to eating rocks.

“What a cursed existence.. Oh?” Jay smiled as he kept reading its skill, finally seeing its semi-aphrodite degradation ability.

“So you’re like its baby…” his grin turned a little more sly, a glint of murderous intent in his eyes as he realised the ‘parent’ would probably not abandon half its soul.

“It seems like your ‘parent’ gave you half of its soul. That’s pretty messed up.” he almost felt sorry for it.

“…wait, that means it was technically your own choice to do this… what kind of bat shit crazy scientist lets themselves become a monster that splits its own soul up to reproduce?” Jay shook his head in disgust.

Over time, it seemed that chaos reigned supreme as the scientist mutated themself and lost their minds – and the more twisted they became, the more twisted their ideas. It was like a feedback loop of semi-magical mutation.

He looked at the creature, still desperately clinking away at its nest; trying to consume more to get stronger – this was all it knew.

“Poor little bastard… If I ever become like that, I hope someone will kill me.”

A ferocious smile then appeared on Jay’s face.
