Reborn As An Evolving Monster

[You have devoured the Sixth Floor's Guardian.]

[Your reward has been chosen.]

[Your Unique Title "Devourer" gives birth to a new Unique Title.]

[You have developed the Unique Title "Blood Thirsty Devourer".]

[By consuming a Monster's blood, the user will recover Health Points, Endurance Points and Mana Points.]

'Mm.' Mark nodded as he lazily got up.

His wounds had healed, but his lost wing and horn could not be brought back.

He walked up to the doors that led to the next Floor.

They were wide open.

Mark stepped in.

Sigh-

'Five down, five to go...'

Mark walked up the huge staircase he found.

'No dead ants. That's a good sign.'

Right after it, he found the entrance to an enormous room.

It was at least seven times the size of the previous Boss Room.

As Mark stared at the messages that had suddenly appeared.

[Special Reward for clearing half of the Dungeon's Floors.]

Three different options appeared in front of him.

[Unique Evolution: You can dictate the exact form you will take upon evolving. The Unique Evolution will use the different body parts of the Monsters you have consumed thus far.]

[Unique Skill: You will gain a random Skill. Guaranteed Rank between [A] and [S].]

[Unique Item: You will gain a random Item. Guaranteed Rank between [A] and [S].]

Immediately, Mark wanted to choose the second option, but he decided to take his time.

'I'm pretty happy with this form right now, although...'

He stared at the huge Monster-filled room in front of him.

'...There's a number of tasty options in there. Mm. I don't know much about Items. Oh, let's check out that Elven Necklace.'

As Mark thought so, the necklace in question appeared, floating in the air.

Its design was simplistic, but nonetheless, beautiful.

The chain was made of a certain type of silver.

One that Mark could not possibly have any knowledge of.

The pendant, an emerald, had the form of a tear.

The emerald's color was deep green, almost dark.

'It doesn't look like much. Guess I'll equip it. Can I get some information about it?'

Once the necklace appeared around his neck, a small amount of green energy was generated in the form of thunderbolts for a second.

[The Elven Necklace is testing you.]

'Test? Well, try me! I'm plenty strong.' Mark thought as he chuckled internally.

[The Elven Necklace has deemed you unworthy.]

'Huh?'

[The Elven Necklace's strength has been sealed.]

'For real...?'

[You cannot draw any power from the Elven Necklace.]

Mark brought his hand to his forehead.

'It's an [A] Rank Item and I can't use it? Can only Elves use it or something? That's annoying, but I wasn't counting on it anyway. Still, for such a shitty reward to be given after that challenge... Anyways, third option is now out then since it's a random Item. Restrictions are a pain. Alright, show me all my Skills.'

[You currently possess:

'[B] Rank and up would be best actually...'

[You currently possess:

Magic Skills:

Dark Corrupting Spear[A] - Assimilation[A] - Evolving Undead Army [A] - Aura Manipulation [B] - Mana Manipulation [A] - Mana Condensation [A] - Consume[A]. ]

'Mmm... [A] Rank Skills are definitely impressive.'

Mark shook his head and took a step towards the large room.

'Guess I'll choose my reward later. I still have 5 Skill Points to use...'

As he stepped into the room's entrance, the first thing Mark noticed was Fiery's Offspring.

They were still standing.

About half of them were dead, but the remaining ones were still shooting Fire Balls or fighting in close quarters relying on their sharp legs.

The second thing that caught Mark's attention, was, obviously, the rest of the Monsters.

Dozens of strong-looking Monsters.

'Huh...? That one looks like an Orc, but its strength is close to that of Kalès when he was a Guardian. That one is obviously a werewolf, but its fur is red and the pressure it's exuding is no joke. It probably has quite a few Passive Skills. Oh, is that an Inferior Demon? No, it looks bigger and sturdier. A stronger version? Wait, there's quite a number of them...'

Mark's heart started beating faster.

His eyes started shining.

'It's a Battle Royale! Even the Monsters of the Floor are fighting each other!'

All the Monsters inside the huge room were Evolved Versions of those Mark had previously fought on the Lower Floors.

'Alright, I'll use 2 Skill Points on Evolving Undead Army and 1 on Poison Regulation.'

[You have used one Skill Point.]

[Your Skill "Evolving Undead Army" is evolving...]

[Your Magic Skill "Evolving Undead Army[A]" has...]

[You have used one Skill Point.]

[Your Skill "Evolving Undead Army" is evolving...]

[Your Magic Skill "Evolving Undead Army[A]" has evolved into "Purgatory's Undead Troup[A+]".]

[You have used one Skill Point.]

[Your Skill "Poison Regulation" is evolving...]

[Your Magic Skill "Poison Regulation[B[" has evolved into "Venom Regulation[B+]".]

[Your Magic Skill "Poisonous Wings[D]" has evolved into "Venomous Wings[C-]"

'Tsk, couldn't get it to [S] Rank... The other one is good. It's nice that evolving one Skill has led another one to evolve. Purgatory's Undead Troup, huh? I can now have 12 Underlings. Each one of them will be very slightly imbued with the Dark Magic Element? I guess that means they can use Magic Skills related to that Element or whatever? Good enough. Now, let's make an army.'

[The Fifth Floor has no Guardian.]

[Defeat as many Monsters as you deem necessary before moving to the next Floor.]

'Haha! Alright then.'

Mark entered the room.

'Maybe I'll take my time-'

[All Monsters on the Fifth Floor will be 30% more hostile towards you than to the rest of the Monsters.]

Mark chuckled internally.

'Ha! Wouldn't be fun otherwise.'

Immediately after that, the Monsters in front of Mark stopped fighting between themselves.

They rushed towards him.

With his body covered in Aura and his fists clenched, Mark responded by doing the same.

'Come!'
