Chapter 8: How About Another Head?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He intended to make a pact with the powerful Two-Headed Demon Hound.
But as pet space was limited, he had to give up one current pet.
He thought about it.
In the end, Lorne broke his pact with the Magic Slime.
Then, he quietly watched the dark blue figure leave.
He did not kill it.
In any case, it had fought for Lorne before. Would it not be too inhumane to kill it with his own hands?
“Work hard to survive. This world is very interesting.” Lorne murmured.
Then, he led the Two-Headed Demon Hound into the forest.
He had to find a few more demonized wild dogs and replace the slimes around him.
Although these slimes had their own uses, their aptitudes were limited, so they could not keep up with Lorne’s growth.
The appearance of the Two-Headed Demon Hound was the signal to replace them.
Pushing aside the shrubbery ahead, he quickly located his target, a new demonized wild dog.
This was a good opportunity for the Two-Headed Demon Hound to display its strength.
Go! Tear it apart!
Having received the command, the Two-Headed Demon Hound charged forward. Even if it was facing a monster stronger than itself, it was fearless.
Aggro was received when both sides were 10 yards away from each other.
The demonized wild dog let out a roar and charged at the Two-Headed Demon Hound. The fur on its body stood on end as it opened its mouth and bit down!
Pfft—
Blood splattered.
In just the first round, the demonized dog was injured.
The Two-Headed Demon Hound’s had the Double Bite skill. It could deal 280% damage. Coupled with the upper limit of 56 points of attack, the final damage was very terrifying.
-55
-59
The total damage was 114 points.
With the 400 health points of the demonized dog, there was no way to resist it.
Under the tearing and bleeding scene, the demonized wild dog fell to the ground in pain, no longer as ferocious as before.
“Time taken: 15 seconds!”
“The efficiency of killing is four times faster than that of a poisonous slime!”
From this result, it was obvious that Lorne was not heartless in abandoning his pets. It was simply due to the great difference in attributes between pets.
Lorne touched the head of the Two-Headed Demon Hound, then crouched down and picked up the bronze coins.
Finally, he placed his hand on the monster’s corpse and prepared to collect the materials.
Unfortunately, he obtained the [Demonized Wild Dog’s Tail] this time. It was of little use and was directly abandoned.
But just as he was about to leave…
It was as if Lorne had touched something hard again.
He took it and saw that it was actually an equipment.
————
[Wild Beast Bracer]
Grade: White Iron
Type: Armor
Defense: +5
Level Requirement: 3
————
This was an armor equipment, but the Summoner was a cloth-armored job. He could not enjoy the attributes brought by the equipment.
He should keep it for selling.
Taking all the loot, Lorne moved on.
His target was still the demonized wild dog. It would be too easy for the Two-Headed Demon Hound to kill the other party.
But Lorne also noticed a problem.
It was the health of the Two-Headed Demon Hound.
After a few battles, its health points had already been depleted by half. If it wanted to recover all its health points by itself, it would need at least ten minutes.
Fortunately, there was the Vitality Slime beside it.
This little creature spat out the red mucus on the Two-Headed Demon Hound. In the next second, its entire body glowed green, and its health points rapidly recovered.
“Looks like I need to keep this mobile medical kit.”
“A combat team without logistics can’t persist on the battlefield forever.”
With that in mind, he commanded his pets to fight.
Ten minutes later.
Lorne activated his skill again, he wanted to create a second Two-Headed Demon Hound.
But just as he was about to merge them…
He suddenly stopped.
“It seems that a synthesized monster can add more than one material.”
“In that case, can I add in another head?”
Another bold thought occurred to Lorne.
It seemed that in other books, there were many descriptions of the Three-Headed Hellhound. It seemed to be a legendary creature.
It seemed that he could really give it a try.
If it had the [Triple Bite] skill, the monster’s damage output would definitely be greatly increased.
With that in mind, Lorne paused the process.
He commanded his pets to continue the slaughter of the demonized dogs, then quickly located the third head.
Then, he used the skill.
“Ding!”
“One monster prototype and two materials have been identified. The synthesis formula is: (Demonized Wild Dog) + (Head of the Demonized Wild Dog) + (Head of the Demonized Wild Dog) = (???)”
When the merging panel appeared, a red warning panel also appeared.
“Ding!”
“Warning! Multiple same materials have been added. The amplification effect of the merging will decrease, while the resistance of the merging will increase. This will affect the degree of compatibility between the materials. Please choose carefully.”
The system’s notification came very suddenly.
From the warning above, there was a lot of information.
First of all, adding more body parts would not necessarily make the product stronger!
In addition, fusing the same material together would increase the resistance when merging, thus increasing the probability of failure.
The result was obvious.
Lorne’s plan to infinitely add more parts to the monster was ruined.
However, after some consideration, he decided to give it a try.
Even if he failed, he would only lose some bronze coins.
If he did not test it out, he would be conflicted.
“I’m sure.” Lorne said firmly.
The next second, another notification popped up.
“The cost is 240 bronze coins. Would you like to merge?”
It could be seen that the cost of this synthesis had doubled again.
This was not good news.
Initially, the cost of creating the Two-Headed Demon Hound was only 120 bronze coins, but now, it was 240. It was extremely expensive.
Lorne looked at his savings helplessly. Including the loot from killing the monsters, he only had 251 bronze coins now.
“I wonder what kind of combat ability it would have after using 240 bronze coins.”
Lorne grinned. He had already made up his mind.
He took a deep breath and shouted, “Come out, my Three-Headed Hound from Hell!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a grand magic circle appeared under the feet of the demonized wild dog, and the other two heads turned into light, beginning to change the entire form of the demonized wild dog.
