Chapter 103: Devour! (1/2)

As I gained three new Skills, I continued to consume the big pile of Mana Cores.
No one else was able to actually eat them, so they were all for me.
Benladann saw as I ate them, admiring how I crushed them inside my jaw and swallowed them.
She noticed that my body was exuding mana.
”How cool, I wish I could also eat Mana Cores…” she said.
”Well, I don't think you would need it, you are already super talented, and the Mold is strong too. You are easily catching up to me merely by cultivation alone,” I said, as we walked inside the Ice Fortress.
Ding!

Another one… And this one is… I can modify the size of my body? Well, that's certainly something…
Maybe I can now enter towns if I reduce my size and pretend to be a pet-winged lizard?

Oh…
Okay, I am sorry! Don't get mad…
And it doesn't answer me.
It also seems to be able to read my thoughts.
Well, in some way, a System is like an AI, right? An interface after all.
So developing something of a mind by itself seems like the right next step.
Alright, Analyze [System].
