Chapter 27 Change of Plans
Victor walked towards the minotaur, and as he did many ideas started popping into his head. The minotaur for a fact was a very strong monster, and would be a great addition to his units, but there was another use for it he saw.
(I forgot to show Victor’s level up after killing the numerous ants in the previous floor. So that will be added to his stats and his level ups will also be showed automatically. For those that need the figures, each ant is about level 35 on average, giving 30,000 exp, and Victor killed around 300 of them before he left the floor, so all together that was around 9,000,000 experience points. Plus the experience points he got from killing the minotaur which was 115,000, that would be 9,115,000)

If Victor was to use this monster to gain evolution material, he could then in turn use that evo material he had gained to maybe strengthen one of his units or even better, create his second form. The second form was something that would be an experiment, so Victor was going to use that basically as a testing husk.
It was decided. Victor needed not think so much. As he approached the minotaur, from its feet, he began tearing off flesh and swallowing. What made eating a bit hard was the fact that Victor had to be careful not to bite the flesh he was going to swallow, not even let his saliva touch its open areas.
Whenever his saliva would touch an open wound or the inner part of the flesh he wanted to swallow, it would rot away, leaving nothing to be tested and used as evolution material. Victor had to open his mouth as wide as possible, then gently drop the chunk of flesh and swallow immediately. His body neutralized the rot effect, so when the flesh gets to his insides, the effect would have been removed and the remaining flesh would be analyzed. At least, this is how he saw it to work for the most part.
It seems getting stronger always came with risks and annoying problems.
“This will take some time. This monster is quite big too.” Victor said.
Ever since, he had been continuously descending the dungeon floors as he made it his primary goal. Any other thing that came along the way was just an addition. Since he would have to stay in the current floor for some time, he decided it was time to train his legion. For the sake of experience points, Victor had been the one killing the monsters, so his legion had none to themselves.
To get stronger, they all had to hunt individually and gain experience points to enable them level up, so Victor came up with an idea.
“Come forth, Legion.” Victor said.
“Four of you go around and hunt monsters to enable you get stronger. Idling within my body would only make you grow fat and useless.” Victor said, while a chunk of flesh hung from his hand.
Victor also instructed them to run if they encountered any strong creature they knew they could not handle. Victor knew that if they had to face against something like the minotaur he just fought, it was sure they would lose. With that, he waved his hand lazily to indicate for them to dispatch.
After that, he just dedicated his focus on the corpse before him. After eating everything, Victor left not even a crap on the floor, he finished everything leaving only the bones and innards as usual. “Finally finished this minotaur. Alright, no need to wait anymore.” Victor said.
Victor went on to ask the system how much evolution material was needed to create a new body for his second form, and the answer was a million. After eating the minotaur, Victor could only get about 400,000 evolution material from it. With that, he knew he would need to kill a few more.
“Alright, next is to find more of these guys.” Victor said as he walked away.
If he wasn’t mistaken, such a strong monster would not be walking around in mass around the floor. This would mean their number within the floor is probably fewer than 10. ‘Finding another one would be tough.’
Just as Victor was thinking about it, he noticed a familiar figure walking about, coming closer and closer. With his heightened senses, he could recognize the creature. It seems he was lucky, and the minotaur he had just killed ended up spawning close by. “This is just perfect.” Victor said.
Calmly, he walked towards the axe felt behind by the last minotaur and grabbed onto it. Some seconds later, the minotaur came into view, and since the pathway Victor was on at the moment was wide and stretched out several metres in length, both Victor and the minotaur could see each other from far away.
On seeing Victor, the minotaur wasted no time and charged towards Victor with all it had. Victor on the other hand had just finished fighting this minotaur, so its style of fighting was still pretty much fresh in his mind, and even without that advantage, he felt he would be able to hold such information even after a long time.
From Victor’s expression, he didn’t want to waste much time with this minotaur as he did with the last, so he planned to take the fight serious from the start.
Victor grabbed on the great axe tightly with his right hand and just stared at the charging minotaur. When it got into range, Victor planted his feet into the ground, and with all enough strength, Victor swung the axe with both hands aiming at the minotaur’s knee, and sure enough he was able to chop off the minotaur’s left leg.
As the minotaur fell down, Victor carried through with the weight of his swing and aimed for its neck, but the minotaur was able to move his axe in the way and blocked Victor’s attack. The collision between both axes caused a crack in one of them and the wave from the collision carried through the dungeon space.
Using this opportunity, Victor let go of his axe and fell on top the minotaur’s body.
‘Touch of Death.’ Victor said in his mind just before he reached the minotaur.
From then on-
