Chapter 103: Devour! (2/2)

Alright then.
”Drake?”
Benladann kept glaring at me as I looked like I was lost in thoughts while being inside the Ice Fortress.
”Oh… Sorry, I was just… err… lost in thoughts,” I said.
”I see… So what do we do now?” asked Benladann, resting over the floor.
”For now you go take a bath, I will clean myself over a river I detected a bit far away from here, I'll be back,” I said.
”Alright! I am hungry, after that let's try out the jelly!” said Benladann, as she rushed upstairs and went to the Ice Bathroom. She needed to boil snow into the water to take a bath, so it would take her some time.
”For sure!” I said.
I quickly flew out of the Ice Fortress, the battle we had wasn't that intense, but I was covered in gooey slime, and I wanted to get it out of my body. Taking a bath in the nearby river was good enough for me.
I quickly landed over it and began to wash over it, as I started to ask a few things to the A.I. while catching fish.
”System, what day is it? What hour is it? Where are we?” I asked.

”So I guess you are not all-knowing,” I said.

”I see…”
In the end, I checked my new Skills.
[Devour: Level 1]
Grants the user the ability to digest and consume anything, while gaining a certain amount of power from devoured things if they possess enough power. This can be manifested in stats, world source energy, or Skills.
[Mimicry: Level 1]
An Ability inherent to mimic-type creatures. Grants the ability to perfectly mimic the shape and form of a being in front of them temporarily. It does not grant any kind of change in strength, and it is often used to deceive others.
[Body Size Alteration: Level 1]
An Ability that beings capable of changing their size possess. Grants the user the ability to change its size up to a certain height by using Mana.
…
Huh… Devour looks quite overpowered, but it was something I already had anyways within Immortal Body, now it just became an official Skill, I guess?
”System, can you fuse Mimicry with Body Size Alteration?” I asked.
<answer: it=”” is=”” possible.=”” do=”” you=”” wish=”” to=”” fuse=”” them?=””></answer:>
So I can fuse Skills! Since when?
<answer: always,=”” you=”” simply=”” didn't=”” do=”” it=””></answer:>

”I see… Well, fuse the Skills.”
Ding!
<the skills=”” [mimicry]=”” and=”” [body=”” size=”” alteration]=”” have=”” been=”” merged=”” into=”” the=”” [body=”” transformation:=”” level=”” 1]=”” skill=””></the>
Body… Transformation?! I knew something good would come out of this!
If we fused the mimicry factor of changing one's appearance, and then the body size alteration ability to change your body size…
It's obvious that something cool would come out!
[Body Transformation: Level 1]
Grants the user the ability to change the size, and mimic the appearance of any being it can see (only temporarily), or any being it has consumed (as long as the user desires).
Increasing level enhances these effects.
…
”Does this means… I can take a human shape if I eat a human?”
<answer: correct=””></answer:>
Huh… What a way to make me want to eat humanoid beings now. But it gotta be justified.
At the very least a bandit or something, but I won't just storm a town and eat the people there…
Well, with this the possibility of acquiring a humanoid shape is possible… I just need to actually get to eat a damn humanoid first!
And no, not Benladann!
Wait, I did eat a monkey…
