From Ant to Demon God of the Abyss

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Heavy-Armored Knight Form!

‘The mock evolution is powerful. The strength increase from this one evolution is almost the same as my two months of improvement!’ Bates thought excitedly.

‘If the increase of my four attributes is the result of evolution, then what does the mock part account for?’

Countless information appeared in his mind, and Bates finally understood.

“Come out, second form!” As Bates shouted, a sharp pain that seemed to be tearing his soul apart, came from all directions. His body began to violently change.

His body, which was still in the shape of an ant, began to melt and collapse. His height started to rapidly increase, and in just a few moments, Bates’ body transformed from a huge ant, into a humanoid shape.

Then, the melted shell began to solidify and formed a new layer of armor around his body.

After a few seconds, the transformation ended and Bates finally understood what the ‘mock’ in ‘mock evolution’ meant.

Mock – it allowed him to mock, or imitate an evolution to obtain a second form!

After this fusion, Bates could switch between the first form of the ant body and the second form of the human body at any time.

However, each switch had a 10-day cooldown, but when the cooldown ended, he could switch from one form to another.

Just by looking at his appearance, the current Bates was no different from a human. He was 1.8 meters tall and wore a black, heavy helmet that only revealed his eyes. His torso, arms, and legs were also covered fully in a set of black armor, and his hands and feet were covered in golden armor.

The current Bates looked like an elite dark warrior among humans!

The difference between him, and a normal armored human, was that the armor on a human would be classed as equipment, while the pitch-black heavy armor covering Bates’ ant form, was his shell!

This full-body heavy armor was Bates’ skin. It could not be removed or taken off. Just like the first form, it had a particularly strong defensive ability.

The armor on his face was the only part formed from Bates’ shell that could move.

With this facial armor, Bates could eat freely, which also gave him the opportunity to speak again.

Even though the armor was ‘heavy’, it didn’t weigh him down at all, and he could still move just as well.

‘Unfortunately, I still can’t wear any equipment.’ he thought.

Sensing the powerful defense brought by the heavy armor, Bates smiled and said, “I summon the insect demon spear!”

With a flash, a black light rushed out of Bates’ body and formed a two-meter-long pitch-black spear in his hand – the insect demon spear!

This was a very unique spear, as it was shaped unlike any normal weapon. Instead, it was like a greatsword, forming a double-edged sharp spear blade, and anyone could see the tremendous power emanating from it. It’d been crafted from Bates’ bones, similar to the armored shell he wore, and was a part of his morphed body.

Holding the insect demon spear, Bates felt connected to his own blood.

Bates waved his hand, and the spear’s blade pierced into the hard rock wall without any resistance, as if he was piercing through thin air.

After testing the sharpness of the insect demon spear, Bates raised it and threw it towards the cave entrance. The pitch-black spear instantly sank into the rock. Suddenly, the spear immediately returned back into Bates’ hand!

It was even more powerful than a piece of equipment!

Not only was the spear extremely sharp, but it was also a part of his body that had transformed, and he could fuse the spear into his body at any time. Even if the spear was not out, with just a thought, he could summon it back!

As it was a part of Bates’ body, as he changed and became stronger, the power of the spear would also increase! It wasn’t impossible for it to transform into a divine weapon!

According to the game, this insect spear was a growth-type weapon that could only belong to Bates.

‘Let’s call this new form the ‘heavy knight form’.

After familiarizing himself with his new form, Bates opened his attribute panel.

Compared to the first form, most of his stats did not change, apart from one new skill – magic spear devour.

[ magic spear devour: passive skill. In your heavy knight form, you still retain the ability to devour and evolve. After you kill your enemy, you can use the insect magic spear as a medium to devour the enemy’s corpse. As a price, using the insect magic spear to devour will cause 90% damage. ]

After looking at the description of [ magic spear devour ], Bates frowned slightly and summoned the insect magic spear.

Following a loud sound, he stabbed the spear into the frost wolf’s corpse, and suddenly, a system notification sounded.

“You have swallowed the frost wolf’s flesh. Obtained 50 experience points and 10 frost wolf genes.”

At this moment, the frost wolf’s corpse started to wither, as if all the essence within it had been sucked out

In his heavy knight form, Bates was unable to devour the corpse as quickly as he could in his ant form. The new [ magic spear devour ] skill was a strange replacement. He wasn’t happy with how slow the [ magic spear devour ] skill was, and also wasn’t pleased with it causing 90% damage!

“Invest one soul point into the [ magic spear devour ] skill.”

With the addition of a soul point, the damage the spear caused to him, reduced from 90% to 80%.

“Continue!”

The damage inflicted was now reduced to 70%.

“Continue!”

After five soul points were added, the [ magic spear devour ] skill disappeared, and a brand new skill appeared.

[ insect devourer: passive skill. With the addition of mysterious power, the devouring ability of the insect magic spear you possess has been greatly enhanced. You can use the insect magic spear as a medium to quickly devour the enemy’s corpse. As a price, using the insect magic spear will cause 5% damage. ]
