《Online Game: I Possess a Monster Merging Simulator!》Chapter 30: The Terrifying Death Scythe Mantis!
Advertisement
"Ding!"
"Monster [Giant Mantis] has been identified as the prototype. Please identify the other body parts."
"The tail of a Basilisk Lizard, the Cracked Death Scythe."
Lorne put the scythe into it, ready to risk everything. If he failed, then he would not waste any more time on the mantis.
He only hoped that there would be a good outcome and not waste this material.
"Ding!"
"A monster prototype and two materials have been identified. The synthesis formula is: (Giant Mantis) + (Basilisk Lizard's tail) + (Cracked Death Scythe) = (???)"
"The cost is 50 silver coins. Would you like to merge?"
'50 silver coins?' Lorne was surprised.
One gold coin was equivalent to 100 silver coins which was equivalent to 10,000 bronze coins.
Last time, he had spent 5 gold coins to create a Boss-level Slime King. This time, it cost 50 silver coins. This also proved that the monster to be created this time had very strong potential.
"Merge." Taking a deep breath, Lorne made his decision.
In the next second, a familiar light appeared. The three materials in the formula turned into light and began to fuse together.
At last, like a ball of rubber, it gradually transformed into a very agile figure.
"Ding! Merging successful!"
"Congratulations on obtaining the Elite Monster—Death Scythe Mantis!"

It was a Bronze-level monster!
Seeing the monster's attributes, Lorne was so surprised that he could not speak. He no longer knew how to describe his emotions.

After two hours of trying, he was about to give up, but at the last moment, he encountered an elite monster and underwent the final attempt.
Who would have thought that not only would the synthesis succeed this time, but he would even obtain a Bronze monster of 80% superiority!
It could be seen that this monster's attributes were very powerful. It was not inferior to an ordinary Boss, especially its damage output. It was at least several times stronger than the minotaur.
"If I raise it to Level 10, its Attack should be close to 500 points. Then, with the skill [Continuous Slash], the highest possible damage should be 2,000 points!"
That made him look forward to it even more.
He even wanted to create another such monster to replace the minotaur.
Unfortunately, there was only one "Cracked Death Scythe", and such an elite-level giant mantis was hard to find in this region.
Thus, this dream could not be fulfilled.
"Sign the contract."
Lorne contracted the Bronze monster and named it "Little Mantis."
Although it was not a unique name, it was easy to remember and easy to pronounce. Yes, Lorne was definitely a genius at naming.
"Let's go and level up." Lorne led the way.
Now that the Giant Axe Minotaur had reached Level 7, he could postpone its level increase. His top priority was to level up Little Mantis.
However, because it was a Bronze monster, the EXP needed to level up was ten times that of Lorne. To raise it from Level 1 to Level 2, it required 1,000 EXP.
This EXP requirement was very large, but he still felt that it was natural. After all, it was very powerful, and its speed of killing monsters was fast, so its EXP gain was naturally fast as well. Compared to other players, its leveling speed was definitely not slow.

...
After entering the valley, the air here was more moist, and the jungle was filled with dew.
He continued forward and soon arrived near a pool. Waves of wolf howls sounded, causing one's hair to stand on end.
"Roar!"
There was a low growl, and the underbrush ahead suddenly shook. A group of strange lizards rushed out. Several pairs of baleful eyes focused on Lorne, seeking to make him into a meal.
Unperturbed, Lorne glanced at the creatures' attributes.
————
[Armored Lizard]
Quality: Normal
Level: 10
...
————
It was an ordinary level-10 monster with astonishing defense because of the thick armor on its back.
However, against the mantis's armor-piercing effect, defense was useless.
"Go, little ones."
The mantis and the minotaur rushed forward at the command.
These were just ordinary monsters with low attributes. They were not a threat at all.
In fact, there were many monsters around. They were in groups of five to ten, and such small groups were very suitable for farming experience.
Little Mantis was very fast. It attacked first, using its forearms that were sharper than blades to quickly unleash a combo attack on the monster.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Very luckily, Little Mantis managed to hit five consecutive times in less than a second.
-115
-115
-115
-115
-115
Five damage numbers floated in the air.
Although the single damage of the combo was only 80%, Little Mantis had a 100 points of armor-piercing effect, almost shattering all of the opponent's defense.
Therefore, the damage dealt in the end was very impressive. One skill dealt a total of 575 points of damage. After all, it was still a Level 1 monster!
At the side, the Giant Axe Minotaur also stepped forward to participate in the battle. The savage Giant Axe was slashed ruthlessly, dealing 483 damage in one strike.
Of course, it was Level 7 and its attributes were much stronger than Little Mantis. It was normal for it to be able to deal such damage.
On the other hand, the lizard monsters only dealt 30+ damage. They could not threaten the lives of the two pets.
Under the cooperation of the mantis and the minotaur, this group of Armored Lizards was quickly wiped out, and the loot dropped on the ground.
"Ding! Congratulations on killing an Armored Lizard, EXP +20 (35)."
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
A level 10 monster could provide 55 experience points. The wave of seven Armored Lizards had directly given him 385 experience points.
At this rate, he only needed three waves of monsters to raise Little Mantis to Level 2.
With that in mind, Lorne quickly commanded his pets to continue their assault on the other groups of enemies.

8 168Echelon of The Owls
Parallel worlds or other worlds. The existence of infinite existence where it only exists in science fiction like in comics, books, or cartoons. We, humans, are so fond of that fiction idea, imagining a thousand worlds where we can have different appearances, lives, and selves. For example, a murderer who's been living in the underbelly of society in the dark might be the most successful businessman in an alternate timeline or reality. The infinite possibilities we could have, that's why the idea of parallel worlds revolves around "what if", " I should've...", etc. The wishful thinking that how we could have done it better or in a word, "regret". Other than that, it's still from fiction. The concept of it only exists in our imaginary minds. But, it all changed when 20 students from an ordinary high school were caught in a mysterious phenomenon. A surge of blue light crawled across the whole room, symbols, lines, and geometric patterns emerged slowly. The light slowly grew brighter and brighter, in a blink of an eye, all of them vanished. Till to this day, the mysterious phenomenon was left to be unknown, with the existence of those 20 students. Join the journey of Sirius Steorra and Alice Schwartz as they transverse to the other world and uncover the mysteries of its world. A world that’s shrouded by mysteries and history. This is their story... ----------------------------------------------------- This is also available in Webnovel and Scribblehub.
