Eternal Punishment Dragon in Prison

Chapter 3 Upgrade
Murphy safely hid in the bushes, and slowly restrained the dragon power on his body.

With greedy eyes, he watched the original demons who were fighting on the edge of the Styx.

At this time, 27 days have passed since his birth.

These days, Murphy eats and sleeps in the open, eats two mouthfuls of the original demon when he is hungry, and sips the muddy water on the ground when he is thirsty.

There is not a single moment of sleep.

In my spare time, I was studying the battles of the original demons, thinking carefully about how to solve them more easily.

This also allowed Murphy's fighting skills to grow.

And just today, Murphy's experience points finally reached 10800 points.

This means that if he devours another original demon, he can meet the conditions for upgrading.

boom!
Feeling that Murphy was almost digested in his stomach, he kicked his hind legs and rushed towards the nearest original demon with flapping wings.

Open your mouth wide and bite down.

Click!

The original demon didn't have time to make any resistance, so Murphy bit off its head and swallowed it into his stomach.

The other original demons saw the arrival of the unexpected guest.

There was no such thing as working together, except for the original demon who lost his opponent because Murphy devoured the original demon.

The rest of the original demons ignored Murphy.

But this was only temporary, and the original demons changed their targets again after hitting on it.

This is a manifestation of the chaos of the abyss.

As a good target, the huge Murphy naturally attracted most of the firepower.

But in Murphy's view, these attacks were weak and weak. Whether it was claws or bites, it was difficult to break through the scales on his body.

Instead, the tinkling sound became the blessing song for Murphy's promotion to level 9.

"Did you consume 11000 experience points to increase the life level to level 9?"

"Yes."

"Your life level has been raised to level 9."

"You get 9 skill points." [6+(intelligence-10)/2(rounded)]

"You get 1 specialty point."

"Your strength gains: 17 → 18."

"Your health has been increased: 112→126."

The upgrade process is very fast, and the experience points transformed from the soul are quickly transformed into various substances under unknown power.

Compensating for the rapid division of Murphy's body cells, the entire body is growing rapidly, expanding by one-third like a balloon.

The original demons who were besieging around were immediately knocked into the air, rolling towards the surroundings.

"It's cool, it's so cool." Murphy thought to himself.

After completing the two years of other giant dragons in just a moment, Murphy's strength has also been improved to a certain extent.

"Skill points, don't rush to get some."

"Anyway, these garbage original demons are not worth my consumption."

"However, I have to think carefully about my expertise."

Specialties are the embodiment of a biological ability, just like Murphy's own three specialties, all have to bring extraordinary abilities to Murphy.

"[Force Field Resistance]: Wrath Dragons have a +4 racial bonus on saving throws against force field-based spells and effects."

"[Freedom of movement]: The Wrath Dragon is able to move and attack normally, ignoring any magic that would normally impede movement, such as hold monster, paralyzing effects, heavy fog, slow, and web."

“[Willpower]: The Wrath Dragon has a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and intimidation effects.”

"What would you like to order?"

Murphy was still a little conflicted. He felt that he lacked both attack power, defense power, and movement speed.

But there is only one specialty point, and one point can be obtained every time you upgrade 3 levels, which is very precious.

"[Awakening of Magic Resistance]: Every time you acquire this feat, your internal magic resistance increases by 2."

"[Endure Strike]: You gain damage reduction 2/—. It is cumulative with any damage reduction you gain from other sources."

"[Spit Instant]: You can release your dragon's breath in a single thought."

"[Spit Diffusion]: You can transform your dragon's breath into a diffusion effect."

"[Increase Speed]: All your movement speeds are increased by 20%, and the damage value of each age stage of a dragon is +1 when moving and attacking."

……

Murphy looked at the list of specialties densely packed with dozens of lines, and for a moment he didn't know what to choose.

"Forget it, the only thing that can't be broken in martial arts in the world is speed, so I'll speed it up."

After hesitating for a long time, Murphy finally chose [increase speed].

The effect is also simple and crude, anyway, this world momentum theorem still works.

Increasing the movement speed also increases Murphy's own attack power. For example, Murphy increased his damage by 1 point in the dragonling stage, and it also increased his defense power when escaping.

Crunch!Crunch!
After the specialization was selected, Murphy's body changed again.

The body has become more slender, and the black scales are tightly attached to the body surface, and they are also smoother and more in line with aerodynamics.

The musculoskeletal structure is changing and the body becomes lighter.

boom!
Murphy accelerated and knocked the original demon flying in a straight line in front of him in one breath. In just a short moment, the explosion had already broken through 20 meters per second.

This made Murphy very satisfied, then stretched out his slender neck, and swallowed the original demon next to him in one gulp.

Just after the upgrade, his body became bigger, and his stomach once again had room to spare.

Take a full-bodied protein supplement.

Click!Click!
But after waiting for a long time, Murphy didn't see any notification from the plug-in, as if Murphy didn't eat anything.

"Sure enough, it's experience punishment..."

The attribute panel that Murphy got was very similar to a game he played before.

As long as you are 8 levels higher than the monster level, you will not get any experience points.

The most important thing is that after the experience bar overflows, you will be punished, and you will not be given a chance to store experience card levels.

Murphy began to feel a headache. Could it be that his career as a dog has ended before it even started?

"No, whether it's demons, demons, or gods, they all desire the souls of mortals."

"It is said that the devil has the means to torture the souls of mortals and extract divine energy."

"And the gods have acquired power beyond imagination through ordinary souls."

This knowledge is derived from the inheritance of Yongpulong, it is very rare, very one-sided, and not necessarily true.

But it all shows that Murphy's way of devouring the soul is definitely the lowest in efficiency.

Even the souls of mortals are useful to the gods, it cannot be because of the difference in level.

And this kind of power is not the "power of faith" that some mortals speculate.

How can there be such a good thing if people believe in themselves and can gain strength?

If belief can really provide strength, then the devil is definitely the biggest beneficiary.

With a strictly hierarchical network, full of temptation and incitement, and fanatical believers, the church of the devil should be able to provide far more "power of faith" than the church of gods.

But the gods are the masters of this world, and their church is also the mainstream of the main material plane.

Of course, Murphy was only thinking about these things in his mind.

How could he, a young dragon, know this kind of knowledge.

Those who master these mysteries have already ascended to the gods.

At this moment, a pair of original demons were fighting next to Murphy, and one of them successfully killed the other and plundered its power and essence.

The body of this successful original demon twisted and swelled.

It turned into a hunchbacked, short, 1.8-meter-tall figure, its body twisted due to asymmetry.

The slender skull has small, hateful red eyes, and the green and purple mottled bald skin is occasionally marked by an uncomfortable-looking patch or two of bristly bristles.

This is a monster, a kind of demon with a life level of at least level 5 but weak.

After witnessing all this, Murphy's eyes lit up. It doesn't matter if the original demon is useless, the evolved monstrosity is even better.

The original Murphy was unwilling to capture these evolved original demons.

Because the strength of these evolved demons is still a bit, what if an accident occurs during the devouring process?
It's not good to be injured by accident.

According to Murphy's experience watching "Animal World".

For predators in the wild, injury often begins the countdown to life.

Some minor injuries are okay, just bear with it and pass.

Severe injuries can lead to wound infection, which can lead to a series of complications, leading to a decline in physical function and death.

This is no different for whelping dragons.

Young dragons have low physique, and their body resistance is not as strong as that of adult dragons.

It's a good thing that you can't hunt after being injured, but you can survive by eating dirt.

After all, the dragon has a strong digestion ability. With the help of magic energy, many things can be easily digested and energy can be obtained.

But getting hurt can be fatal.

Especially when hunting with injuries, if one mistake would lead to death, wouldn't it be too late to regret.

So Murphy has been reluctant to devour these evolved original demons, and will avoid them when he sees them.

But now it is impossible to get experience points from the original demon.

Then I can only say sorry to the evolved original demon. I, Murphy, accept your souls.
