Chapter 519 Pig (1/2)

Limited only to Fire-type monsters... I guess this is for Flamy.

Gao Peng began explaining the pros and cons of consuming the fruit to Flamy, clarifying what would happen if its body failed to accept it and what sort of ability it would receive if its body succeeded.

Naturally, Flamy was willing to take the risk. Gao Peng will just have to take care of me for the rest of my life if the worst does come to pass, thought Flamy. I'm okay with that.

”Bring it on!” the bird said, puffing up its chest.

”You are one brave bird,” said Gao Peng, impressed.

Flamy closed its eyes as it chewed on the fruit. It then laid down on the ground, wings spread out on both sides, its crimson feathers glistening beneath the sun.

The fruit soon took effect. Waves upon waves of pain began assaulting Flamy's brain with seemingly no end in sight. Flamy's body didn't feel any pain. The pain it was feeling right now seemed to be coming from deep within its soul. It soon fainted from the intense process.

This was probably for the best. At least it was spared from feeling any pain while it remained unconscious.

Flamy woke up the next day. Goldie, which had been watching over Flamy the whole night, immediately reported this to Gao Peng. ”Gao Peng, Fattie woke up, Fattie woke up.” The very foundations of heaven and earth seemed to quake as its voice carried for miles.

Flamy's eye twitched.

Gao Peng quickly rushed over.

Flamy was still somewhat groggy from its sleep. It looked at its surroundings with a dazed look on its face.

The only noticeable change Flamy had undergone after eating the Flame Devourer Fruit was losing a couple of pounds. Its belly had noticeably shrunk.

”So did it work, Gao Peng?” asked Flamy in a worried tone. Even though it was fine with Gao Peng taking care of it for the rest of its life, it still didn't want this to end in failure.

”It worked,” said Gao Peng, nodding.

Upon hearing Gao Peng's ”official” confirmation, Flamy heaved a sigh of relief, then felt an irrepressible urge to dance in joy. I am truly the greatest bird in existence.

Upon awakening its Flame Devourer ability, the Bi Fang bird now walks the path of taking power by force. All the flames in the world now belong to it.

Gao Peng frowned at what he had just read. Flamy nervously looked at Gao Peng, wondering if there was something wrong with it.

”It's nothing too serious. In fact, it's probably good for you,” said Gao Peng assuringly.

Flamy grew even more nervous. Nothing almost always means something!

”I guess there's no point in hiding it from you. Your new ability seems to have mutated.” Gao Peng began telling Flamy about the changes it had undergone.

Goldie's eyes lit up. It gave Flamy a pat on the back, the muscles on its arms rolling like waves. ”Not bad, Fattie. Path of usurping power and whatnot. Sounds really cool if you ask me. Don't forget me when you make a name for yourself one day.”

Flamy glared at Goldie. Usurping power, my *ss. You're not the one bearing this burden.
