Chapter 10: Evolution
Leon dodged the beast's razor-sharp claws, flipping over its massive frame and landing behind it. His instincts screamed—MOVE!
He barely twisted his body as a spiked tendril shot out from the beast's back, grazing his ribs. A single hit… and his flesh was already burning.
But Leon only laughed.
"This is getting fun."
The God-King System responded to his hunger for power. A notification appeared before him:
> [God-King Adaptation: Activated]
Absorbing Mutant Energy…
Leon felt a rush of overwhelming energy flood his body. His cells were mutating, his muscles strengthening. The beast tried to strike again, but this time, Leon didn't dodge.
He caught its claw with his bare hand.
The beast let out a guttural growl of confusion, but Leon only smirked. His grip tightened, and with a sudden twist—
CRACK!
The creature's entire arm snapped like a twig.
Leon's eyes glowed with power. His strength had evolved mid-battle, and now, he was the predator.
Raising his blade, he muttered, "Goodnight."
SWOOSH!
A single strike.
The beast's head rolled onto the ground.
