chapter 498 – No tickle

There’s not a lot to do when imprisoned. It’s lucky that I’m used to this sort of thing, others might have a really hard time. In fact, being confined to a small space without anything to do is almost bringing up nostalgic feelings of my human life. Except this time I’m brought regular meals and have pleasant, non-shouty conversations. It’s …

chapter 497 – keep the train going

The mutation wagon stops for no ant! With one choice locked in it’s time to go for the next one, and I think I have just the thing. I thought about it when I was considering my last upgrade, namely my Vestibule. I haven’t wanted to upgrade this organ since I’m out of range of the Colony and it provides …

Chapter 496 – Idle Monster

It took time and effort, but finally, I have been successful in my quest to consume the Biomass resulting from a Gravity Bomb! After contending with the dense ball of ex-monster with my mandibles without success, I had to apply other methods to try and soften it. Water magic and acid had some effect, but not much on the unyielding …

Chapter 495 – Deal with the devil-ant

The thing about Golgari is that they’re totally covered in stone. It’s easy to forget it sometimes, since the rock moves and shifts along with their movements, as if it were a part of them. Scratch that, it is a part of them, just not something they were born with. I’ve been able to get a little detail out of …

chapter 494 – dangerous satisfaction

The Shapers in the stands watched in shocked silence as the ant monster relaxed its pose and made its way across to its defeated foe. At first, it didn’t seem as if there was anything left after the vortex of doom vanished but when Granin looked closely he could see a small ball the size of his own clenched fist …

Chapter 493 – the round that wasn’t

It would be a lie to say that Granin wasn’t nervous as he shifted in his seat and watched the gates rise to commence the third round of competition. That damned ant had been quite adamant that his spell would be a spectacular one-hit kill for any creature that didn’t know it was coming. Granin himself knew of some pretty …

Chapter 492 – The shape of the days to come

Granin and I end up sitting facing each other. Though in my case ‘sitting’ is more of a comfortable crouch, which brings us reasonably close to eye level. Although again, in my case, I technically have a heck of a lot of eyes. [There were a hundred and twenty-eight monsters at the start of this tournament. After just two rounds, …

Chapter 491 – Why so much pain?

AUTHOR NOTE – Hey folks. Just a reminder that you can join my Patreon and get up to ten advance chapters of Chrysalis. Find me by searching RinoZ Patreon through google. After discussing the great escape the conversation turns back to more idle topics. Where did you live on Earth? Wow, I sure didn’t live anywhere near there! How did …

Chapter 490 – The Worm Conspiracy

[Hell yes my invertebrate brother! This is what I’m talking about! Leave the crazies to be crazy and let’s get out of here. We’ll have a way better chance of surviving together than we would on our own!] Jim the Elemental Worm of Earth is all in. Not too surprising considering he already wants to escape and has made no …

Chapter 489 – Meeting of the minds

I don’t get much time between gruelling bouts of training my elemental Skills, but the time I do get I spend playing with my new pet, the mini-demon. He’s awkward, unable to fly on his stunted wings and frequently tumbles over when walking about on his weak little arms. Every time he falls his big green eyeball wells up with …
