Chapter 304 - New Skills And Powerups
-----
Noah enjoyed the delicious food prepared by Iris and the rest of the maids and butlers, the meat of Varus and the other Ocean Dragons was more than superb, it was excellent in every way possible.
The meat was strong and juicy, and when it was grilled with fire generated by powerful Fire Spirit Stones mined inside dungeons of high ranks, the meat would become tender and delicious. The flavor was strong, even more, if Dungeon Salt was added, and other types of spices.
He also enjoyed the delicious wine he got from the finest places around the planet. As he was the one that dominated it all, all the worldly riches, resources, and more were his, meaning that he could take anything he wanted.
But he was not the only gluttonous here, most of his party had grown incredibly gluttonous as well, it was as if their stomachs had become voids that could take way more food than their entire body sizes. It seemed that similarly to Noah, their stomachs had fused with their souls and their souls also devoured the food they ate, nourishing their souls and stockpiling insane amounts of energy through this method.
With this, they were able to stockpile energy and acquire enough power to fight against the giant monsters they fought.
The ones that ate the most aside from Noah were Iris, Timassa, and Adamantine, as they were pregnant, the girls needed to devour even more food for their young within their wombs. Noah noticed that the children within them were growing at a rapid pace, and their latest evolution and made them mature even faster… Their bellies couldn't possibly get any bigger… However, only Iris seemed to soon give birth, as the other girls might take a few more weeks.
However, due to this, they are required to eat a lot. They had already finished a giant Ocean Dragon each on their own, they even ate the scales and the eyes, and bones too, anything…
Iris in specific was already midway through her second one, while she had also eaten part of Varus Dragon Heart, as the amount of essence and richness would nourish the children, according to Noah's insights, which were actually what Varus himself recommended to him.
"Let lady Iris eat part of my Dragon Heart, my lord. It contains large quantities of strong essence, with it, the children will be born even stronger, with the possibility of developing dragon bloodlines as well as your vampire bloodline," he had said.
Of course, Varus's Dragon Heart was immense, having the size of five blue whales… so a little piece wasn't that much, but was good enough. Noah also decided to share it around the other pregnant girls, and ultimately even gave some to the others. Who quickly gained some more power and even stats. Now, they needed to absorb the SSS-Rank Attribute Value Cores dropped by Varus and the other dragons to finally attain X-Rank.
Varus's corpse was immense, no matter how fast Noah ate or how bottomless his stomach could be, he would certainly take a long time eating him entirely… And the corpse was covering a giant grassland, it resembled a series of mountains to an extent.
Due to this, Noah went for the most tasteful and strong parts of a monster first, which usually gave the most Skills, such as Varus brain, which was gigantic, his eyes, tongue, Dragon Heart, lungs, liver, and claws and scales. He went for the strongest bones in the ribs and then large pieces of muscle mass, and the bone marrow as well as the spine… but what he ate was around 5% of the entire corpse… even after around two days of constantly eating with Iris at his side… Actually, Iris was also eating a lot and helped him lower down a bit of the mass of the giant corpse.
But Noah ended giving up after he ate the entire Dragon Heart, it was more than enough. Of course, he had shared some chunks of it with the robots as well, all of them, so they could upgrade and perhaps even acquire some dragon-related powers or shapeshifting abilities.
The Dragon Heart of Varus resembled a gigantic blue jewel that released various types of reflections of azure and aquamarine colors, it was a beautiful spectacle by on itself, but he managed to eat it all!
On the third day, Noah had acquired several Skills, also including the ones he got from eating the Ocean Dragons…
