Bro, I'm not an Undead!-Chapter 457 Harbinger Of Passion!
[Ungodly Passion of Debauchery] had evolved from the skill [Flame Shot], which was then upgraded with [Unbound] to form [Bitter-sweet Hell's Inferno].
After that, it had been upgraded once again as it became [Revenant Flames of Ecstasy].
Skullius had laid off on upgrading skills with [Unbound] because he had had many uses for the Null Life Essence before. He had sought protection through armour, he had had to help Red Rage recover that one time and he had also needed enough Essence for [Bringer of All].
When [Ungodly Passion of Debauchery] evolved just now, he was reminded that anything attained through [Unbound] was leagues above anything of the same level in this world and this skill was no exception.
Even this evolution was no joke as when the blinding gold centre of the winged flame touched its target, everything within a twenty-meter range instantly melted!
The floor hissed as the same runes that were on the glass compartment which shielded the spectators appeared, shining with astounding brightness to depict how they were fully activated!
At the very last second, the integrity of this room was kept intact but the radiation produced made Lemorine and her tamed lizard back away quickly as ungodly fumes roared from the molten side of the room that now looked like the diseased insides of a volcanic mountain!
This, alongside the thick black smoke that raged from the glowing, bubbling and molten floor and ceiling with bits of golden sparks within it gave the visage of true horror.
This smoke was also dangerous. It would likely insta-kill even an Advancement Stage expert if they were careless.
All this considered however, Skullius who was on the ceiling after causing the devastation didn't look away from this scene.
This wasn't the limit of this new skill.
No.
Far from it.
There was something else buried within the smoke.
Something huge!
Something powerful!
Alaris who had been watching silently from the side took a step forward.
This new skill had caused him no small amount shock but...
Something was off.
His keen eyes could see the vague image of something massive in the cloud of smoke but strangely...
He couldn't sense its presence at all.
And its sheer size was a problem.
Everyone held their breaths while Skullius received an unexpected notification from the guidance field.
[The HillyKilly Glutton Toad has successfully been baptised to the 'Passion of Debauchery'. Its racial features have temporarily shifted]
"What?" Skullius questioned with surprise.
Baptised?
BOOOOM!
...!
Before Skullius could wrap his mind around what this notification meant, a huge creature emerged from the smoke!
No!
It was the one emitting the pitch black smoke with golden sparks from its body!
This enormous creature resembled something of a cross between a lizard and a toad, its skin tinted with a sky blue hue!
Warts and zits were all over its lengthy body which spammed to almost fourteen meters, the crazy feature that was its twenty extremely long limbs that pressed against the walls of the room on both sides causing Terese to scream in horror! fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮
The creature's bulged eyes spun in its sockets insanely while saliva constantly spilled from its mouth, sizzling when it fell to the hot floor.
The behemoth released a shrill scream that prompted Lemorine to cover her ears!
The spectators were safe from this effect but Stephin who had been unconscious was jolted awake as he grunted at the blaring noise.
Skullius was unaffected but his eyes opened wide in shock.
This shrill noise...
It wasn't just a scream.
It was a sound amplified with... Null Life Essence?!
The heck!
Even before considering this however, the moment this toad lizard thing appeared, he had felt a sense of... kinship with it!
'Shit! Is this creature from...?' Skullius dreaded the thought.
What was he to do now?!
The creature didn't seem subservient to him.
From the looks of it, it was thoroughly enjoying itself in some weird way however.
The enormous thing suddenly darted ahead, causing the integrity of the room to crumble partially, while its move generated a storm!
At the same time, Skullius felt the damn thing shroud itself in Null Life Essence, though quite superficially.
EEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAIIIIIII!
Like a sheep's bleat but with a strangely distorted acoustic tune, the creature shrieked, the smoke coming from its body filling up the room!
This smoke had a scorching heat to it, that started to melt off the different parts of the room!
Alaris darted forward instantly while activating his Genuine Incarnation which manifested with a green hue.
This wasn't within the bounds of a simple test anymore!
Something was terribly wrong!
Unfortunately, while he, Lemorine and the spectator crew were safe, the same couldn't be said for Stephin who had just started to make sense of what was going on before being blasted by the smoke!
The moustached evaluation officer bolted in front of Lemorine who had been about to summon a tamed beast to protect her, a silver sword, a gladius, appearing his hand which became decked in the green neon light of his Genuine Incarnation.
Tssss....
Alaris exhaled a stream of hot air before he swung up his sword in an elegant arc, a jade green after-image left after each frame of movement the gladius' blade made!
...!
Skullius' senses tingled!
A flash of green light quicker than the luminance of lightning blasted everyone in the face, disappearing as fast as it appeared even from the thick smoke that covered the entire room!
Skullius who was the only one capable of 'seeing' everything happening at this moment, was amazed to feel the enormously beast he had unintentionally called upon be split in half before he could draw a quick breath!
Its scream died as its two pieces that slogged down began to burn away!
Alaris stood straight from his executed stance just now, and narrowed his eyes.
'Strange. I didn't get even an ounce of mana from it...' he thought.
He chalked this up to the weird nature of the ability Skullius had used and moved on to more important things.
The smoke within the room started to disappear, leaving the clear but unsteady structure of the room visible, its charred and molten state on full view.
Alaris breathed out as he looked at Skullius who dropped from the ceiling and landed on the floor.
"Let us stop here. I have no doubt in my mind that you qualify as a special existence," Alaris said before turning to Lemorine who was still dazed and quite frankly, terrified. "Don't you agree?"
"Uh... of course," the Tamer said as she broke her Genuine Incarnation.
"Good. When Stephin recovers we can ask for his opinion but please consider yoursel—"
"OOOH YEAAAAAHHHHH~" a disturbing moan that came from a corner of the room tore everyone from Alaris and his words.
When everyone turned, they found the figure of Stephin shaking vibrantly while its hand held a long protrusion from his crotch.
Something flowed out of this protrusion as the man moaned and groaned disgustingly.
After he was done, he felt the gazes from behind and with eyes that rapidly spun like wheels within his sockets, he wore a fierce expression and shouted.
"The fuck are you looking at?!"
