Chapter 42 - New Skills
-----
After Chaos did a contract with every slave brought to the castle, he left the task of showing them the castle and everything to Belphegor and Jack, while he rushed back to the spaceship to see if anything was interesting. And by interesting, anything that Chaos could eat.
He walked around, finding destroyed machinery which he decided to leave there, and some other things.
The entire spaceship had the appearance of a giant nautilus, it even had big tentacles for some reason.
The interior was like a large hall, and three corridors led to five rooms each.
The largest room of the left corridor had the slaves, and he suddenly discovered that although all the living slaves were brought, some died in the landing and fire, which Chaos didn't felt guilt for, and only saw them as "lucky snacks".
There were two elves whose heads were crushed by falling over the ground and hitting their heads over a piece of strange furniture that the Mind Flayers liked, a human who was roasted alive, and a half-elf that seemed to have died of a heart attack…
Chaos quickly grabbed the corpses and cut them into pieces, roasting them through Pyrokinesis and enjoying the fine meat.
Elves were very soft and rather amazing, the half-elf was also very good, and the human was not bad at all, their meat was flavorful and rich, the blood was also quite sweet, and the guts were scrumptious. Chaos also enjoyed the crunchy bones, thinking that it gave them a nice combination of textures.
By eating everything, he gained something…
Ding!

…
Chaos felt rather blessed to be able to learn Skills even from weak beings such as these, although they didn't seem to be good for fighting, they could still have various uses.
He had also learned the Enslave Skill for some reason until he realized he had eaten their clothes and equipment too, especially some strange collars they had, which seemed to be a tool to enslave people used by slave traders. The Mind Flayer must have forgotten to take them out as he could easily enslave them through Psionic Arts, or merely choose to not bother with it.
And lastly, he learned Laser Fire after eating the laser gun the Mind Flayer had, which seemed to be the only one there was in the ship.
Chaos wondered that if he could eat the whole ship, could he get a Spaceship Skill and turn into a spaceship?
"No… that seems way too unrealistic."
Chaos quickly scratched such an idea, although he would never know until he tried, he preferred to leave the spaceship as it was, as it could be used later on, maybe.
As he walked out of the spaceship, he quickly detected some beings crawling around and rushes inside a room where he found several critters, seemingly experimentations made by the Mindflayer, there were brains with the limbs of rats attached to them that were walking around, and what seemed to be some other people being slowly transformed into Mindflayers grotesquely…
"What is this?" wondered Chaos, as he seemed unfazed by their psionic attacks as he conjured the Psionic Barrier Technique with the Mind Flayer's Psionic Arts Skill.
"Grroooooo!"
"Gyyaoh!"
The creatures seemed to have been infected by what was called… Mind Flayers Tadpoles, it seemed that Mind Flayers were asexual creatures that reproduced by laying eggs every often, which hatched into dozens of tiny and horrible tadpoles.
Chaos learned this as he began to read the book written by the Mind Flayer, which he wouldn't have been able to understand if it weren't because of his recently acquired Letter Deciphering Skill that the Elves gave to him.
The Tadpoles were then put into living slaves, after that, the Tadpole would grow inside the skull while eating the brain and slowly transforming the human into a Mind Flayer…
"So that's how they grow… It is quite interesting to know these things, I wonder how I reproduce," thought Chaos, beginning to imagine him laying eggs, which seemed to not be of his liking.
He quickly burned alive the abominations in front of him and ate them too, finding them to be more flavorful than the slaves he ate just before. Additionally, he also ate the clutches of eggs left by the Mind Flayer, which were slimy and had a sweet flavor, with a chewy texture.
