Chapter 32 My Devour Skill's new uses
I don't know whether it works or not. I should try them once and see if that works or not. If not I can directly destroy these bracelets. After cleaning up the battle scene, which was not that disturbed in the first place, I returned to the safe place where I had been living for the past few months.
There was something I wanted to give a try and also I need to get out of here as soon as possible. I have no idea if these idiots have signaled their backup if there is a backup. Whether it exists or not, I can't take the risk.
---
After reaching my hideout, I placed those magic bracelets in front of me. I separated one of them, to verify if I could use the skill this way or not.
[Debour]
[You have devoured Magic Bracelet.]
[You have gained, Aurum Skin Trait.]
Oh, it looks like I can use the Devour skill on no-organic perfectly. Let's see what I get from the other four.
[Devour]
[You have devoured Magic Bracelet.]
[You have gained, Magic Resistance(Non-Attribute).]
[You have devoured Magic Bracelet.]
[You have gained,+1 Magic Resistance(Non-Attribute).]
[You have devoured Magic Bracelet.]
[You have gained, +1 Magic Resistance(Non-Attribute).]
[You have devoured Magic Bracelet.]
[You have gained, Space Affinity.]
Huh, what are these?
It's okay that I gained Aurum Skin Trait. That was because a part of the magic bracelets was made from Aurum metal. It was understandable but what's with the Magic Resistance and Space Affinity?
Can I consume resources and improve my resistance that easily?
I mean, to get poison resistance we have to take small amounts of poison, but that was for poison, not other resistances. Everyone has a different way to obtain, and most of the combat-related resistances would be procured and improved through battles.
Now a new door opens for me. I can not only get attributes, skills, and traits but also resistances using my Devour Skill. No wonder humans can't get skills from Slimes. If they get this skill, it would be war everywhere and all the time.
If not for my physique, probably I wouldn't have gotten such a beautiful skill.
Hmm, if the skill worked on the magic bracelets, then it should work on the space ring. I mean it would be good to have the ring as it would bring extra space to store cores or monster corpses, but I can't truly keep it.
It has markings on it, and one can easily determine the origins of this ring. So I can't keep it nor I can sell it. It can be sold for a large sum but the troubles that come after that are not worth the money. Let's see if I can gain any skill or something from devouring the ring.
First, let's empty the ring. There are a lot of items in there and I don't want the skill to go into OVERLOAD.
[Devour]
[You have devoured Space Ring (High-grade)]
[You have gained, Spatial Storage Skill.]
[You have gained, Space Resistance.]
[You have gained, +1 Space Resistance.]
Hahaha, it worked. Though it looked like it didn't yield much, it did. I have obtained Spatial Storage skills and Space Resistance.
Now let's see my improved status.

Aurum Skin: You can easily channel magic through your body.
--
Spatial Storage: You can store any item as long as they aren't alive. Seriously, you need an explanation for this too. Didn't you read as a kid what space storage offers?
--
Magic Resistance (Non-Attribute): You can withstand Non-Attributed Magic for a teeny tiny moment.
--
Space Resistance: You are now a bit resistant to Spatial distortions. Congrats you can now use Teleport or Blink or such skills, without damaging yourself much.

Huh, so that's what the trait is for. Well, it was better than that Smooth Skin trait. It can improve my casting, there is no need to think much about it. After all, we cast magic through our body and there would be many things that can block or make it go smoothly.
Well, the space storage would not be an issue anymore. The resistance is a good thing too. It even improved the resistance levels.
There are not many that use Non-Attribute magic skills but skill such a freebie who would resist?
If resistance can be improved this way, wouldn't be able to improve them to Level 100 if I consume a few storage rings?
Well, it's not practical as it would burn away the wealth of the entire kingdom to do so, but I may be able to do so. If I can summon a few more demons like that one, I can get a space ring from them, and devouring that would certainly improve my resistance and may even get some surprises.
The problem was that the ritual directly pulled a Tier-6 demon. I was lucky last time as I was well prepared. It consumed all of my savings to buy those materials that were able to constrain the demon for a minute. If my luck was bad, I may even summon the Demon King. Then it would be the end of me and my family.
So, I shouldn't rashly use that ritual. I should get some more information about these before I can tinker with them again.
