I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Chapter 204 Cross the Potion Trial and Become a Demon Hunter Cat!

After instantly killing the demon with an elbow, Evan confirmed that the guy had no backup plan to come back from the dead.

Carrying his copper pot on his back, his body transformed into a cloud of black mist and rushed into the cave at top speed.

As soon as he rushed in, Ivan's demon-hunting vision detected an incredibly dense aura of the extraordinary.

This extraordinary aura was immense, with a hazy black base interspersed with various auras such as green, yellow, and red, surging and flowing within the dimly lit mine.

"Just how much power have they gathered here?"

Just as Evan was pondering, two superhumans with panicked expressions rushed towards them from directly in front.

Upon hearing the screams outside, the two apprentice mages completely panicked.

"Damn it! I knew this job would be tough!"

"Then why did you agree?"

"Do we have a choice? Do you really think you can resist the Holy Spirit, the Black Goat, sir!?"

'

"Were those mortals silenced?!"

"They're all dead! Run!"

As they spoke, the two of them began to slip through the hidden doors on either side of the passageway.

It's clear that they had prepared contingency plans beforehand and even anticipated that this place might be attacked.

Their mission might not be to protect the security of this place, but rather to immediately alert the attackers if the place is attacked.

Hearing their words, Ivan felt a surge of murderous intent, but he did not make a move at that moment.

Then the misty body instantly returned to its solid form.

"ah!!!"

Before the two could even see the cloud of mist rushing towards them from the dark passageway, they suddenly sensed a dangerous presence appearing right beside them.

Instinctively, the two raised their hands, supporting the fireball in preparation for an attack.

"Then let me ask you, are you a man or a woman?"

As the sound rang out, the two people who were about to attack suddenly froze in place.

At this moment, the two of them stared blankly, and the fireballs in their palms naturally dissipated, as if they had forgotten who they were.

They were just muttering to themselves instinctively.

Am I a man—or a woman?

After subduing the two men, Ivan didn't linger and continued charging forward.

He planned to take control of everyone as quickly as possible before figuring out the situation.

Less than five seconds later, a cloud of black mist, like Ivan, arrived at the deepest part.

"Awesome!"

The process was quite smooth and successful.

There were some barriers and half-open doors along the way, but Evan didn't even need to dodge them.

In its mist form, it slipped through the gap without making any extra noise, as long as it paid attention to the angles of the copper pot and the kitten.

"The potion of light was definitely worth it! I'll try it again next time and see if I can stack the effects!"

As Evan pondered, he had already arrived at the deepest, most open area.

Looking around, he saw about forty or fifty zombies covered in brass.

The ground was littered with skeletons and rotting corpses, and the distorted, pungent odor in the air almost made him vomit.

"Holy crap! Can't you cultists at least do your rituals in a decent and clean way?"

At this moment, Evan covered his nose and couldn't help but curse.

As he spoke, Ivan's eyes never stopped moving.

The keen eyesight of the demon hunters instantly locked onto the strange statue in the middle.

At this moment, inside the statue's abdomen, there is a special entity; the source of all the extraordinary things here is this thing.

The thing inside seemed to sense the threat as well, and the brass zombies that were wandering around instantly fixed all the eerie gazes on Evan.

The footsteps that had been creaking just moments before were now deathly silent.

Those pale eyes, filled with madness and bestiality, stared straight at Ivan.

"Holy crap! What a classic horror movie scene!"

Faced with this situation, Ivan couldn't help but sigh.

"If this had happened to me before, I probably would have been sweating buckets in my crotch!"

At this point, Ivan took a deep breath: "But too bad! I already have a monster hunter!"

This is the effect of the injected Daylight Potion on him.

Monster Hunter: When you face monsters, your willpower increases significantly and your fear resistance is greatly enhanced.

This means that Ivan doesn't have to worry about his past scandals resurfacing.

As Evan was lamenting, the zombies charged forward like madmen.

Faced with this situation, Ivan immediately activated his bronze form and began his slaughter.

These copper-clad mortals were no match for him.

The overall texture is not much different from those that Martin controlled before; normal humans definitely can't beat them.

But to Evan, these guys were no different from insects.

In less than a minute, more than forty zombies covered in brass skins were completely crushed by Ivan.

Stepping over the remains of these zombies, Ivan strode forward and smashed the statue's abdomen open with a bronze-colored punch.

Then, inside that abdomen, he saw something that looked like a large bird egg.

It is entirely white, but its texture gives a relatively soft and warm feeling.

It looks like it just hatched; its shell hasn't hardened yet.

At this moment, all the extraordinary energy in the entire space was continuously being poured into this thing.

It's clear that this is the core of this magic array, nurturing just this one thing.

"This must be one of the ghoul's magical artifacts that Dr. Armitage mentioned, right?"

Thinking of this, Ivan directly covered his head with the Fog Brain Plague, raised his hand and grabbed the thing in his palm.

This thing feels like a water bag when you squeeze it, and you can feel a faint, heart-beating sensation coming from inside.

Ivan played with it in his palm for a moment, then opened his mouth wide and was about to shove it directly into his mouth.

In that instant, the thing seemed to sense danger, and its already slippery surface suddenly secreted a special kind of mucus.

The slime made it incredibly slippery, and it slipped right off Ivan's palm, flying down his left shoulder and outwards.

Seeing this, Ivan sneered, "You think you can just fly away from a duck that's already in your mouth?"

But just as Ivan was about to turn around—

Whoosh!

A figure suddenly jumped out of its own crucible, and then a small, hairy claw with sharp nails pierced the creature's skin. With a tumble, it snatched the creature off and held it in its arms.

Meow~

At this moment, the little orange cat seemed quite pleased with itself, as if it had caught a mouse and was showing off to its owner.

"Good cat!!"

Seeing this, Ivan immediately gave a thumbs up with great joy.

"As expected of my cat, Ivan! It's already serving its owner food at such a young age!"

At this moment, the little orange cat's two paws were deeply embedded in the middle of the soft thing, so that no matter what kind of mucus it secreted, it could not get out of the cat's paws.

Evan happily squatted down, and just as he was about to reach out to touch the cat's head, the white thing suddenly shattered.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of white and black intertwined things, resembling maggots, surged out from inside.

"not good!"

Evan grabbed the kitten by the scruff of its neck and swung it around a couple of times, trying to throw it away.

Unfortunately, this thing reacted very quickly, and at this moment, it went straight into the cat's body through its two paws.

"Holy crap! What the hell?!"

The moment the thing entered the little orange cat's body, Ivan saw the little orange cat's body begin to wither rapidly.

"Meow----"

The second cry was completely different from the first; it had become weak and feeble.

As the body withers, you can see the orange fur on the little orange cat starting to fall out, and its skin and flesh beginning to tear, as if something is about to swell out of its body.

"Damn it! How dare you kill my cat?!" Evan was furious.

As the first pet he ever had in this world, he couldn't accept that his little orange kitten, whom he hadn't even warmed up to yet, had ended up like this.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the sub-brain, which had fully evolved, appeared. Its entire body was deathly white, and a black obsidian-like gem was embedded in the back of its claws.

The moment the secondary brain appeared, its entire body instantly became like oil, and it pounced to envelop the little orange cat.

As the secondary brain finished enveloping the little orange cat, the power from the Ghoul King within the Mist Brain Plague form seemed to resonate with the power within the orange cat's body.

The power that had just gone berserk and was approaching a state of chaos was gradually suppressed and entered a relatively peaceful state.

"Thank goodness, it seems the Ghoul King still loves me!"

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly began to think about how to rescue his little orange cat.

As the secondary brain enveloped the little orange cat's entire body, Ivan also discovered a special effect of the secondary brain that could only take effect in actual combat.

At this moment, the secondary brain is like a stethoscope, enveloping the little orange cat's entire body, allowing Evan to clearly sense the condition inside its body.

"Hmm!? How come this kitten has so much of my own spirit inside it!?"

"Wait a minute—not only is it sentient, but why are there also traces of magical potions?"

It was only at this moment that Evan realized that the little orange cat's physical condition was not ordinary.

He could clearly sense the remnants of his own spirit within the orange cat's body, as well as some of the magical potion ingredients he had drunk.

These substances have been integrated into the little orange cat's blood and body, becoming one with it.

Ivan quickly went through the process in his mind and then understood.

"I've been drinking rat blood for a long time now, drinking it with my mouth directly against the wound."

"So there's my saliva residue on the wounds of those rats."

"The little orange cat probably wanted to save trouble, so it ate the meat inside the wound and ended up swallowing my saliva."

"Plus, I had just drunk potions a few times before, and my blood cravings kicked in, so there might still be trace amounts of potion residue in the rats' wounds—"

"And the little orange cat eventually ate all the rat carcasses, thus completing the enrichment of the components."

Thinking of this, Evan suddenly understood. He looked at the little orange cat, whose voice was weak and who was panting heavily. He was so thin that he looked like he only had one breath left.

Ivan made up his mind: "We've at least had a very close, verbal relationship!"

"I absolutely cannot let you die like this!"

He then quickly began to think.

"The core problem now is that the cat's flesh is severely torn and deformed, and the nutrients in its blood have been drained due to the mutation."

"Then we need to address the cat's physical and blood-related issues first."

Thinking of this, he took out the Moonlight Potion, which he had refined but hadn't had time to drink, from the bag at his waist.

The witch's mechanism was very sophisticated; the potions and clothes that had been confiscated were returned to him when he came back.

Moonlight Potion: Within ten minutes of ingestion, it greatly increases the body's flexibility and blood quality.

Negative effects: Decreased blood quality and physical condition.

"Continuing like this will surely lead to certain death, so we might as well try anything, even if it seems hopeless!"

As he spoke, Ivan patted the little orange cat's already bald head: "You're so young and already bald, it must be tough on you."

"Whether you can overcome this trial of the grass and become a demon-hunting cat depends on you!"

Then Evan pried open the kitten's mouth and carefully poured in one-third of the dose.

As the potion was ingested, the little orange cat, who had been very weak just moments before, began to swell rapidly.

The blood that had been drained was now being injected with a massive amount of new blood and began to flow through the body.

The skin and flesh that had been torn due to the mutation are now beginning to reconnect.

The little orange cat, which has gained great flexibility, can now barely withstand the tearing sensation brought about by those mutations.

"My spirit resides within this orange cat's body, and I am now the darling of the ghoul king."

"Since the power within that bird egg comes from the Ghoul King, then there's a possibility that the two could fuse!"

"With a secondary brain still in charge outside—there's a chance!"

Then, Ivan gradually released the suppressive force of his secondary brain, and the mysterious power that had been dormant in the little orange cat's body began to take effect again.

The little orange cat's body began to swell continuously, quickly growing from a kitten that was not yet an adult to the size of a dog.

During this process, through his secondary brain, Evan was able to clearly sense those black and white, maggot-like things seeping into the kitten's entire body through its blood vessels.

This thing doesn't seem to be able to survive on its own; it's currently actively fusing with the cat.

As the fusion process progressed, the kitten let out continuous screams, and its newly plump body began to shrivel up again.

Hearing this, Ivan felt extremely distressed. He immediately cut open his own wrist, collected his poisonous blood, dug out a piece of blood, and stuffed it into the kitten's mouth.

As Ivan's life-giving blood was injected into his body, the kitten's body, which had been drained by the extraordinary power, was replenished once again.

During this process, Evan clearly sensed through his secondary brain that the little orange cat's aura and vitality were rapidly increasing.

Even some of the cat hair on its body is now gradually growing back as the fusion is complete.

You can see that its skin becomes tougher and its bones become stronger.

Even the nails that once extended from those furry little paws have now become incredibly sharp bone claws.
