Chapter 76: Against The Mimic Swarm! (2/2)
[Organic Stone Shell Creation]
[Inner Flesh Manipulation]
[Tentacle Extension]
[Stealth]
[Camouflage]
…
Chaos glanced at the assortment of new skills that he had acquired by devouring over a hundred Mimic Monsters, it seems that the Skill Mimicry wasn't within their repertoire, of Stealth and Camouflage seemed interesting enough.
Although Chaos found it weird why they didn't have a skill such as Mimicry, perhaps it was because mimicry required a full shapeshift of the body? Which the mimic monsters were not able to do.
Without further delay, Chaos checked the new Skills effects.
…

”Interesting… Now I wish I could fuse them… I hope that Edward is working in what I asked him to make…” thought Chaos.
Before leaving the castle, Chaos had asked Edward, the elven librarian, to craft a special item with his Alchemy and Crafting Skills and related Jobs. Chaos wanted him to create a special accessory, a ring or bracelet that was often used by novice alchemists which had the Synthesis effect within it!
With the Synthesis effect, Chaos hoped that he might become capable of fusing Skills. The materials needed to craft this item were not expensive and were already available within what could be extracted from the resource-producing Colossus monsters, so it was just a matter of time before Chaos could get his hands into one of these accessories.
The Colossus was very useful at producing materials, and as long as they feed with enough miasma from Chaos, they were like farms of crystals, ores, and even spirit stones. Although it still took some hours or even days to produce them in decent quantities, Chaos could easily request the types of ores he wanted these living golems to make, and they would slowly get them done.
”To think that the Colossus used to be mere and rusty statues… They're very useful now,” thought Chaos, as the party suddenly came to a stop as a giant Mimic Boss emerged on the last floor of the stairs, which seemed like a mini biome by itself!
The enormous mimic boss resembled a giant colony of these creatures all stuck together into a titan!
”GRROOOAARR!”
