Chapter 128: Huge Improvements Part 1
Reign's Enhance Bones skill began to increase dramatically as he continuously fed it with bone-related materials, while selling anything else he deemed useless or would not help him in anyway.
[One of the host's skills has surpassed 30 levels. ]

[Ultimate Mutation System 3.0]
Old : Enhance Bones XXV > XXXV
New: Enhance Bones (35)
The system turned from Roman Numerals to Arabic Numbers which was far better and simpler to judge his stats.
'This is way better,'Reign thought to himself.
'I wonder why the system did not go with this one right off the bat.' He added.
But after pondering it, he decided to let it go.
There was no need to waste time trying to understand the System, as it was something beyond his comprehension.
The moment he started questioning it, he would be on a long and tiring road, because the System itself was an existence he felt almost equal to a god.
Mantis Eyes [27%]>[35%]
Serpent Vertebrate [20%]>[25%]
His Mantis Eyes and Serpent Vertebrae also experienced growth through absorption of related or identical organs.
Unfortunately, the number of eye-related organs was few in between.
[level up + 1]
He leveled up again bringing his level to 23 .
Right now , there where only 10 hunters left, he remembered them because he saw them using a more unique variant of Breathing Technique .
He was familiar with the Salamander Breathing Technique because of Dominic, but when it came to Rudy, he hadn't witnessed his fighting style firsthand.
Therefore, he remained unaware of Rudy's chosen Breathing technique.
Nonetheless, he was certain of Rudy's strength.
Since his evolution, Reign had developed an instinctive ability to gauge the strength of others, particularly if it was weaker to his own.
'Let's put this to the test. My body used to be a corpse , so it had issues with fire, but I'm different now. If I could handle lightning, fire should be a piece of cake,' he mused, readying himself .
When he began absorbing the hunters simultaneously, he patiently awaited the notification.

Reign read the updated skill information and found it way clearer than before, making it a breeze to grasp the details.
The addition of clickable text for more information was a smart move, enhancing his experience, and also saving a lot space in his window.
'Salamander Scale will work well with me, so this is a no-brainer,' he muttered to himself, firmly convinced of the obvious choice.
Next.
'Salamander Lungs? Breathing fire?' he pondered the prospect of becoming a fire-breathing monster, and if it was wise choice.
'I think breathing fire is a good power,' he nodded to himself
It wasn't as if he would suddenly develop a condition where he'd feel nauseous while riding vehicles, nor would he have the urge to consume flames if he acquired this skill.
'Let's double-check,' he muttered, scanning his surroundings for a blue cat with wings, just to be safe.
After indulging in a bit of nostalgia by recalling anime from his old world, Reign chuckled and refocused his attention on the Salamander Claw.
"Yes," Reign affirmed without hesitation.
The Burning Damage Status was very useful especially when facing opponents with high HP in the future.
Plus, considering those white-haired individuals were rumored to be vampires, they were likely to be particularly vulnerable to fire.
They remained his top priority for people to kill, and as he grew stronger, he felt more eager to teach those three a lesson they would take to their graved.
All three skills were purchased, and the redundant organs were absorbed to further augment their power.
"Oh, nice," Reign chuckled, a sense of wonder as he observed the transformation.
The external bones that once were smooth began to shift, dark red scales emerging to cover them like a protective armor.
Each scale seemed to glisten with electricity inside, making his whole form much more flashy.
As the transformation continued, the scales interlocked seamlessly, forming a formidable barrier that encased him completely.
Now he resembled those anime protagonists who transformed into a hybrid of dragon and human, but with a unique twist.
His scales were more compact, way more eye catching, and he found out that he could control them effortlessly.
With a mere thought, he could conceal them within his body, only to summon them back again at will.
It was a very handy skill, giving him both protection and versatility in battle.
But it was not the only transformation he noticed .
As he gazed at his hand and activated Salamander Claw, he witnessed another transformation.
His knuckles turned molten red, resembling a metal that was heated close to melting point.
'Sweet,' he chuckled to himself, completely satisfied with the results.
Salamander Scale (30%)
Salamander Lungs (55%)
Salamander Claw (45%)
Finally, it was Rudy's turn to be devoured and become useful .

Black Raven Claw
Black Raven Eyes
"That's it?" Reign grumbled aloud, disappointed to find that Rudy only gave this much.
He had expected at least a unique breathing technique, but he was pretty sure ravens was considerably weaker and smaller than a hawk in real life.
'Let's give it a benefit of the doubt,' Reign sighed and started reading the info about it .
As he finished reading, one detail captivated his attention: the Black Raven Eyes.
It possessed an intriguing skill—a foresight ability.
According to the information, as this ability advanced, its possessor could foresee seconds into the future.
Rudy possessed this unique ability to see into the future, a skill passed down through generations in his family.
However, in his case, he could only see 0.10 seconds into the future.
Though not that long, this ability still played a significant role in his rise through the ranks, a feat shared by his father and grandfather before him.
However, even with this foresight ability, Rudy found himself outmatched by Arc.
The overwhelming gap in power between them was too much .
Seeing 0.10 second into the future was useless if his opponent was as fast as lightning.
In terms of rarity, these eyes were in no way inferior to Mantis Eyes.
Both were exceptionally rare and sought after for their unique abilities and potential.
'Raven, what an ironic name,' Reign mused to himself.
In his previous world, there was a saying that ravens could predict death.
So, it was fitting that the Black Raven Eyes possessed the ability of foresight.
"Purchased Black Raven Eyes," He commanded.
[System: Black Raven Eyes is a unique Eye. The host can utilize it, but not simultaneously with Mantis Eyes.]
He had already expected as much.
If he could combine both abilities, his vision would be overwhelmingly powerful.
Just imagine having 360-degree vision, lightning-fast reaction times, and the ability to foresee the future all at once.
It would be an unparalleled advantage in any situation.
So accepting this type of restriction was not too hard .
