《Rise of the White Dragon 》Chapter 88: Bestial Imp
Advertisement
The fight went on and on and Maira with her two daughters did a good job killing more than 50 imps, whether they were blue or green. They even managed to kill two red imps.
After that, Maira, Cristina, and Catharina were panting, almost without the strength to continue. The imps seemed to have no end; the more they killed, the more they would appear.
"You three did a great job," Luan said, "You can come back here and rest, now Ingrid and I will deal with the rest."
"Ara, is that so? Okay then, I leave the rest to you both." Maira smiled tiredly. She went over next to them and sat on the floor, almost falling apart.
Cristina and Catharina did the same. "The rest is up to you two."
Catharina lay on the floor while breathing heavily. She was the one with the least strength between them, but she felt that if she meditated a little now, she would be able to increase her strength.
Meanwhile, the green imps were lining up, basically to be eaten by the red imp. It was a very strange and disgusting sight. Because of that, the strength of the red imp that was eating the green imps and even some blue imps was growing.
The red imp flapped his red bat wings and shouted: [Im-Pohhhhhhhhhhhhhng!]
"Now I will evolve and kill you all!" Luan translated, "That's what he shouted."
"Shouldn't we stop him before he can do that?" Ingrid asked.
"Of course not. He is still weak; I want him to eat a little more as it will turn into better ingredients." Luan took the big backpack from his back that he brought with him and handed it to his mother. "Hold this for me."
"Yes, okay. I hope these imps will be of some use to you." Maira had already recovered her breath, and was again capable of carrying a conversation.

"They will." Luan said it with such certainty that it made them all believe him.
"I kind of feel bad for the imps now..." Catharina chuckled.
"Oh, how about taking one of them as a pet, then?" Luan scoffed.
"Of course not!" Just thinking about it made Catharina shiver. It will be traumatizing to see one of those imps every day.
Seeing that Luan and the women were not paying attention to him, the red imp returned to eating the other imps.
It looked like the red imp was tired of eating them one by one. He started to hold imps 1 in each hand and bite in a way that was quite unbelievable how much his mouth could grow. It resembled a snake that had unhinged its jaws to swallow something very big. The belly of the red imp was becoming more and more like a ball, but his digestion was surprising since it always returned to normal a few seconds later.
"It will evolve into a different species perhaps..." Ingrid guessed.
"Yes, he wants to become a Bestial Imp. The only thing that changes is the tail that grows and the pair of horns that gets bigger. Oh, I think the wings get bigger too, and it becomes gray," Luan explained.
"Luan, you are so knowledgeable, you are really amazing," Ingrid said with admiration.
Luan and Ingrid were relaxed, even as they watched the red imp evolve.
Catharina looked at the two with conflicted eyes as she murmured to herself. 'Luan wants the red imp to evolve, and Ingrid admires him for that. I think they both have loose screws...'
"Luan, are you sure it's not time to kill this thing yet?" Catharina asked, seeing how much the red imp had already eaten.
"Not yet," Luan replied, "Imps do not normally evolve by eating others of their same species; this only happens when they are at risk of being killed by enemies. It is a rare chance to see a monster evolve, and despite it evolving into a Bestial Imp, it won't be quite able to reach the strength of 50 ordinary men."

The red imp has passed the strength of 40 times that of an ordinary man. It was now almost 120 cm. The amount and density of energy within his body was no longer normal.
This red imp usually had some sense of brotherhood, and having to eat the other imps made him cry out in resentment.
[Yooo-hohhhohhhh!]
"That's right. You are eating well." Luan even picked up some bodies of the Imps lying on the floor and tossed them over at the red Imp.
The red imp's eyes widened and became blood green (well, imp blood green).
"Why aren't the other Imps coming to attack?" Cristina was curious about this.
"As I said before, they are smart. Although they only have the intelligence of an 8 year old child at most, they know that they have no chance of winning and have placed all of their chances on the evolution of the red imp." Luan looked at Cristina and explained all this to her.
[Gooipp-oohhhhhhippp!!]
"My God!" Catharina stood up and said, "He's letting out a light... that's..."
"The imp must be evolving!" Cristina added.
Luan had a smile on his lips. He had come here in an attempt to train Maira, Cristina, and Catharina, so he never expected to hit a jackpot here. 'As expected, a Bestial Imp... He's creating a monster core.'
With the monster core, Luan could do many things, as well as just meditate and take the pure energy from the monster core.
The red imp's body let out a green light. His body absorbed an enormous amount of Qi, and his intelligence increased on another level.
His body was much larger than before, 160 cm tall. He had gray skin and gray bat wings, bull horns, and devilish green eyes. His teeth looked like pinecone fish teeth.
"It's over?" Ingrid asked.
"No, not yet. Just a little more..." As soon as Luan said that, the Bestial Imp shouted.
[Gogipppppp-Gooomnghhhhpiii!] (Now I'm going to kill and eat you all!)
"Now, yes," Luan murmured and took action.
*BANG!*
Luan moved so fast he broke the speed of sound, causing a loud sonic boom, forcing Maira and the girls to cover their ears and curse Luan for not warning of this before.
Luan appeared in front of Bestial Imp and threw a punch to the monster's chest.
*BOOOM!*
The Bestial Imp was slammed towards the ground, and fell with a thunderous crash, causing the rocks to fly in all directions and a crater to form on impact.
The Bestial Imp crushed a few other imps in the process, and with anger and resentment, he ate the bodies to heal. Even a red imp was not spared, which was of some help in strengthening and healing the Bestial Imp.
Luan did not stay afloat, since to do that he would spend a lot of Qi, so he went down on the ground, and once again he ran towards Bestial Imp at an alarming speed.
"Luan is really amazing!" Cristina exclaimed seeing this.
Luan, who arrived in front of Bestial Imp once more, launched a kick towards the imp's body and made it float in the air. And before it could stabilize itself, Luan crouched down and built up a boost then jumped!

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

TRX's Adventures
Set during the 1980s, it narrates the daily life of Mathias, a boy with "psychic powers", and his friends, which ends when something happens that changes the course of our protagonist's life. ... This is titled this way because some letters of the characters' names form the TRX of the title... Although there is one character who literally has that name, it is also named after her. Ah, and if some parts sounds a bit weird because of some words, tell me. This also contains some simple drawings made by me. This is going to have a lot of edits, apparently.... And maybe I'll add a couple of stuff. I'll try to make this be good... Or, at least, fun. ... Also, the older version will stay, but it kind of spoils the plot (although it changed in many ways), so if you want to read it before this... Do it at your own risk.
