Seriously, this is the weirdest encounter that I have gotten.

And it is -quite literary- right from my nightmares!

What the heck is this?

It is a normal Ice Wolf, but the thing is covered in the slimy black ooze of my nightmares.

Seriously, is this not a nightmare either?

This thing looks hideous.

It is as if the Symbiotes of Venom took over a poor Ice Wolf.

It still hasn't detected us, and it was mostly walking around aimlessly while sniffing around.

It had several yellow-colored eyes popping around its body, everywhere it had this black goo.

And its tail had a seriously dangerous stinger made of the hardened black slime.

It looked out for blood!

And the jaws of the wolf were constantly dripping saliva and blood, it looked like… a zombie.

Freaky.

I quickly flew above it and observed it from a safe distance.

Yuki was quite terrified of it, she suddenly felt its strange, otherworldly presence, and started to shiver.

But I decided to analyze it…

…

…

Oh…

Parasitized, yes, I can see that.

Unending Hunger? I bet that must suck.

And… insane?

Are you insane?

Can wolves go insane? I thought you needed sanity to go insane, I mean, animals do have some level of sanity, I suppose. So yeah, I guess it is insane somehow.

Ad those stats.

Hmmm.

They don't look at all like the stats of an Initial Stage!

What kind of overpowered cheat is this?!

So we are just going to ignore Mana Core Ranks and give shit monsters some new boost in power, I guess.

But I suppose that it only boosts physical attacks, its mana and magic are still low.

And its HP is slowly decreasing.

Is this the Degradation Ability taking effect? It seems that the parasite is draining its vitality slowly.

It also has other weird abilities.

My curiosity is enormous, so I inspect them while I float in midair.

[Molded]

The creature possessing this Ability has been infected by the parasitic Black Mold and has become a [Molded].

As a [Molded] the creature possesses superhuman capabilities, hastened regeneration, super strength, agility, and insane reflexes.
