Chapter 11 - Extreme Growth

Before the spiders went back to doing their own thing since guarding wasn't necessary anymore Cynthia told Sebas to go welcome his new siblings into the world. Once everyone had left Cynthia checked her status. She had no idea how much her status had changed since the system had always omitted small things when sending message windows so there should be quite a lot of things that are new given how many things it had notified her of.

Ceramic Shell Level 1: The defense of your fur and skin is increased. This skill increases in level when you receive heavy blows.

Auxiliary:

Tiger Lord's Stigma: Can turn into any shape or object. The stigma excels at creating defensive armaments. High level Celestial White Tigers are known for having such keen control over their stigma that they can block a barrage of attacks by focusing their stigma on only the points where they are struck.

"My skills haven't increased much in level but I have more of them now." Thought Cynthia "More than that though my stats have increased by leaps and bounds". "Unlike before there really isn't much for me to do with my status. None of my skills need to be synergized" lamented Cynthia "Moreover 10 stat points really Isn't all that much for me anymore.". "The best thing I received was the Tiger Lord's Stigma and my lord's rights," said Cynthia "everything pales in comparison.". Cynthia thought more about her lord's rights and how it was mentioned that beasts usually try to attain more energy before attempting to become lords. "Maybe I can absorb the energy around me to raise my internal energy stat…" she thought. After about 4 hours a blue window popped up. "You have practiced an inner energy cultivation art! Internal energy plus 1". "All that for just 1?" thought Cynthia "It's much slower than simply consuming beast cores. I guess beasts take in a lot of the surrounding energy when they break through a growth stage. What does Sebas' status look like?".

Name: Sebas Rank: Adolescent Exp: 63/5000 (In growth stage type development Exp will increase over

 time as long as the beast is still alive

Skills:

Active:

Spider's Bite: This skill ranks up as the spider ranks up through growth. When the spider grows up it will have access to a number of venoms. Current venoms: Human Face Spider's Paralytic Venom, Lesser Human Face Spider's Neurotoxin Venom.

Poison Scythe: This skill is incredibly rare and only very few Human Faced Spiders with an affinity to death will be capable of using it and even fewer will be able to use it effectively without hurting themselves from a number of factors including energy control, poison control, and many other factors. On one hand this skill has many requirements but on the other hand Its damage output is top tier, being capable of fighting across bloodline and growth levels. 

Berserker mode: This ability enhances all physical stats by 2 times. This increase causes the user to lose rationality for the duration the skill is active. Users of this skill often end up recklessly attacking both enemies and allies. Sometimes they aren't even able to turn it off before they cause irreparable harm to everyone around them.

Arts:

Leg Scythe: Slash at a target with your legs.

Passive Skills: 

Poison Resistance Level 10: This skill gives resistance to all poisons and venoms. This skill is usually unique to high tier poison type bloodlines like the human face spider.

Kin subjugation: Expand for more information. See chapter 5.

Auxiliary:

Genius Fighter: This skill is one in several centuries even across worlds. The bearer of the skill can infer the needs and uses of a skill or art intrinsically making skills with a drawback almost entirely safe through precise control that is entirely instinctual.

"Holy shit!" said Cynthia after she read Sebas' status in total shock "He has insane skills and they all have little to no drawbacks because of his auxiliary skill!". Cynthia was now reconsidering whether her fur would actually defend against such an attack. Cynthia got an idea after seeing Sebas' new poison and his Poison Resistance skill. "Only one way to find out…" said Cynthia. Sebas felt her will and arrived shortly. Cynthia opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything Sebas spoke up. "This is a horrendously bad idea," said Sebas. "And how would you know! I've never tried something like this and neither have you!" Replied Cynthia with a little more offense taken than she should. "I can feel from my instincts that my species' Neurotoxin is one of the deadliest venoms in the world," said Sebas. "Then just inject a little! With your newfound control it shouldn't be an issue!" Replied Cynthia, getting impatient. "A single drop would kill 100 xingxings if it made contact with their bloodstream." said Sebas calmly "I know you are a battle and progression addict but this is going too far for simple Poison resistance!". "We don't know what the skills might be fused into or if they'll fuse at all but it is worth giving a try!" said Cynthia, clearly done with the conversation "Besides you and I both know that in this state I am comparable to 100 xingxings, possibly even better since my strengths lie in defense and endurance.". "I still think that this is the worst idea you've come up with but I can feel this is an order so I guess I have no choice." Sebas said, resigning himself to this honestly rather stupid and reckless plan "Please make sure not to die, my lady". "I won't die but it'll probably hurt like hell." replied Cynthia smugly preparing herself. Sebas then empowered his leg and used both his Leg Scythe art and his Poison Scythe skill to be able to penetrate her delicate looking but insanely strong skin. As the poison spread throughout her body she could feel herself going limp before not feeling anything anymore. "That's new… It doesn't hurt this time!" said Cynthia before she lost the ability to think. A blue window popped up but she could neither see nor read it. "You have been infected by trace amounts of poison!". Then a second one. "The poison is wreaking havoc on your body, especially your brain!". Then a third. "Initiating healing!". Windows kept appearing for hours but there was no spark in Cynthia's mind to read or see them. "Congratulations!" Said a new window in a string of thousands "You have endured and absorbed the toxin in your system! Your skill Hemorrhagic Poison Resistance is trembling. Your skill Paralytic Poison Resistance is trembling. A new skill is being created! Poison Resistance has been created!". Then another window. "Skill Poison resistance is a higher state of being than some other skills! Other skills are being absorbed!". Then something happened that was different. "You have achieved something impossible! The world is responding to the achievement of a hidden piece. Hidden piece 'Poison collector has been achieved'!". "The world has found a suitable skill!". "Skill poison resistance is evolving!". "Skill Poison Resistance has become Skill Poison Immunity!". "The world is shocked! You have achieved two hidden pieces in quick succession. You have Achieved the Hidden Piece 'Legendary Poison Collector'!". "The world has found a suitable skill!". "Skill Poison Immunity is Evolving!". "Skill Poison Immunity has evolved into Legendary Poison Immunity!". "The world is cooperating with the system to find a suitable reward for achieving two hidden pieces back to back!". "A reward has been chosen!". "Skill Legendary Poison Immunity Is Fusing with skill Poison Fang!". "A blank title has been created!". "The title is being named by the world!". "The title Legendary Poison Devourer has been created!". "The title Legendary Poison Devourer is being made into a unique title by the world!". "You have been granted the title Legendary Poison Devourer!".
