Chapter 137 - Recovered Bore Shrew



~thud~

~thud~

~thud~

The Bore Shrew was now able to move around with its limbs. Although its speed was not particularly fast. The first thing the Bore Shrew did after being able to move was to go to the edge of the cage and chew on the grill of the cage.

~SNAP~

"Oh my, it really managed to bite through it! The strength increase is certainly greater…" Lucius said.

Still, the Bore Shrew had only managed to bite one of the many wires of the grill. Even biting this single one had taken it significant time and Lucius was not worried that the beast would escape the cage any time soon.

After biting the first wire, it bit the one net to it. It took the Bore Shrew about a minute to bit through the thick wires made out of alloyed steel. 

"Though his ability to bite through, this is still a bit questionable. Is it able to bite it due to the increase in its physical strength or is it the gift that it has?" Lucius wondered.

Lucius knew that the gift of the Bore Shrew allowed it to bore through the soil, rocks and stones. Either of those things could have been the reason behind it being able to bite through this grill.

\'Let\'s see what Nexus says.\' Lucius thought before activating it.

A string of words appeared in front of Lucius that he had seen before. But at its end, more information was now added.

Hell Energy Corruption: Minor

Info: The creature will have increased physical strength that can be increased further with the use of hell energy.

Corruption level: Minor

Corrupted Gift: Locked

(Corrupted Gift: Nefarious Bite )

"Oh? The corrupted gift is different?" Lucius said with surprise upon seeing it.

Previously, when Lucius had used Nexus on Keith, the corrupted gift he had was related to his own gift Whip Kick. The corrupted gift shown was Hellish Kick, which Lucius guessed was the same as Whips kick, but would send out arcs of hell energy instead.

Lucius wondered how the Corrupted gift could be unlocked. The most obvious answer seemed to be the use of more hell energy, but he wondered if there could be more requirements behind it or not.

By now, the Bore Shrew had managed to bite about five wires of the grill and managed to insert one of its legs into it.

~SKREEE~

The beast let out a loud screech as it started to push with its leg. 

~CREAK~

The part that had been cut started to bend and a few seconds later, was fully bent out of shape. Lucius watched on in interest as if watching a mouse completing a maze at the end of which was a reward.

Except in this case the mouse was ten times as big, buff and had a raging hunger. 

~SKREEE~

The Bore Shrew screeched as it started to push ahead with its strong legs. It managed to push its head through the gap that had been created in the grill and then continued to push with its legs.

More and more deformation took place as the grill started to break under the force of the Bore Shrew. Lucius wondered if the beast would get tired before it was able to escape or if it would be successful.

It took the Bore Shrew about an hour before it was finally able to push half of its body through the hole. Doing this had enlarged the hole by quite a bit and just one more push would be needed for it to get through it.

But by now, it looked like the Rune beast was quite tired and was sluggish. Lucius did not give it anything though and wanted to see if it could persevere through. Since the cage was kept on the ground from the start, the bore Shrew managed to dig its claws into the stone floor and pull itself forward.

~thud~

Then, despite its sluggishness, the Bore Shrew managed to push with its legs one last time and came out of the cage. Out of the cage, the Bore Shrew rested for a bit as it took heavy breaths. Lucius could see its torso moving according to its breath and its veins throbbing.

Having rested for about two minutes, the Bore Shrew gained back some of its stamina and looked around. Its snout moved and sniffed for food nearby. It soon sensed the sack of potatoes that was kept on the table and moved its head up.

It skillfully climbed up on the table while gripping the legs of the table with its sharp claws. Upon getting to the top, it tore through the sack and started to eat all of the potatoes that were kept in it. 

There was also a water skin kept to its side that it accidentally scratched with its claws and punctured. 

~drip~

~drip~

~drop~

Water started to leak out of it and attracted the Bore Shrew\'s attention. Seeing that it was water, the bore shrew felt tempted and started to lick it all. It probably managed to finish half of the water skin while half of it had leaked out onto the ground.

The potatoes in the sack had also been finished and now the Bore Shrew had nothing left to eat. It still kept on sniffing and soon turned its head to the only other thing that seemed edible to it… Lucius.

Lucius had moved away to sit on a chair comfortably when the Bore Shrew had gotten out of the cage. He was taking notes in a notebook and thus wanted to sit in a more comfortable position.

If one looked into his notebook, they would see that it was written in a script that was not of this world. Lucius was using one of the many languages of his past life so that even if someone discovered his notebook, they would not be able to do anything with it easily.

~SKREE~

He raised his head from the notebook and saw the Bore Shrew rushing at him.
