Eldritch Creature's Guide

Chapter 296 Worldeaters and her Progress

Within just seven weeks, the improvement to the Worldeater Broodmother was clearly visible to anyone who could see the enormous insectoid creature. He was feeding the Worldeater Broodmother his Mana for seven whole days without a stop.

And only now was he starting to feel some drain on his Mana because the healthier and stronger the Worldeater Broodmother became, the more of his Mana she was able to assimilate and devour.

Right now, she was in some kind of baby stage, and she needed a lot of Mana as pure as possible to fuel her growth. Even though his Mana Regeneration has reached literarily insane degrees, the same could be said about the consumption rate of the Worldeater Broodmother.

Fortunately enough for him, as the Principality Eldritch Angel, he still had some advantage when it came to this area because his Mana, together with his Mana Qualities, was far more superior to the other beings. 

For the past seven days, Samiel remained within the underground cave where he found the Worldeater Broodmother's Egg because that was the simplest thing to do, as he was waiting for the Worldeater Broodmother to grow a bit.

According to the information that he got from her through their connection, once she grew enough, only a tad more, she would be able to create Worker Drones that would do the work for her. 

Right now, he was emptying his Dimensional Storage, or at least the ones that were not destroyed when he was in the Void. As unfortunate as it was, all of his Dimensional Equipment was destroyed, which meant, that he lost a lot of things.

But on the bright side of all things, he managed to get his personal Dimensional Storage preserved because it was created through his Void Magic and tied directly to his Soul. 

Within his Dimensional Storage, he managed to preserve the most precious things that he collected, including some random weapons and armor that he managed to loot somewhere and as they were resting within the Dimensional Storage for some time. 

Because the Dimensional Storage was limited in size, because it was created through the Void Magic, it depended on the Mastery over the Void Magic. He knew that some people, more powerful Legendary Magic Users were able to create enormous personal Dimensional Storages within their souls.

"Master, if you have some metals within you, I can eat them to evolve even further."

Worldeater Broodmother said in a raspy voice. She managed to learn several languages just within a span of one week, which was fascinating in itself. The creature was currently two meters long, being a meter tall and wide as well.

She was growing very fast, just by feeding on his Mana, which was utterly fascinating, but he knew that she was soon reaching the limit that she could reach through the Mana feeding, as she would soon need some real food.

"Let's try that then..."

Samiel said as he then started taking out a whole bunch of weapons and armor from the Dimensional Storage before he passed them to the Worldeater Broodmother, who started immediately eating the weapons and armor like they were candied. 

The Worldeater Species were able to eat anything, ranging from the most common Biomass to the hardest metals within the entirety of the Cosmos, including the whole worlds, were nothing more and nothing less than just food for the Worldeaters.

"These metals can strengthen and harden my armor. Everything that you gave me was of relatively good quality, and my armor is now twice as though as it was before."

The Worldeater Broodmother stated after she finished eating all of the metals in the form of armor and weapons that Samiel gave her, she turned her head towards him as if wanting to say something.

"Master, I feel that I am close to evolving and obtaining a new form if I devour more biomass."

These words came as a certain level of surprise to Samiel, because he didn't really expect that the Worldeater Broodmother would be able to evolve this fast, but this also represented a certain problem for him.

He didn't have a Biomass, as everything that could serve as one was destroyed within the Void. Samiel was storing some special corpses from more powerful enemies that he killed within the Dimensional Equipment, but those were all destroyed in the Void.

So, the only choice for him that was left was to wander into the wilderness to search for something that would meet the criteria of the Worldeater Broodmother's evolutionary Biomass.

"I will need to go out and hunt for something... how much would you need to complete your evolution and to have enough Biomass to create some Worker Drones?"

Samiel wanted the Worldeater Broodmother to create the Worker Drones as soon as possible because it would greatly ease up his life. With enough Worker Drones, they would be able to secure the Biomass and evolutionary materials for the Worldeater Broodmother without his direct intervention.

Worldeater Broodmother was at the Level 10 Iron-Tier and was ready to evolve into the Bronze-Tier. From the connection that he had with the Worldeater Broodmother, he knew that for them, reaching higher Tiers also equaled that of racial evolution. 

"At least that of the Silver-Tier for my own evolution. For the Worker Drones, Iron-Tier or Bronze-Tier would be the most suitable."

Sometimes, Samiel was marvelling at the superior intelligence of the Worldeater Broodmother. Even though the creature was only seven days old, she was already showcasing superior intelligence to average sentient species.

Not to mention, she was constantly evolving; with each Level that she increased her Mana by, she was not only getting stronger in terms of physique or Mana, but she was also getting much more smarter.

"I will need to go out and hunt down such beings... as unfortunate it is right now, I have nothing that would meet such requirements..."

Samiel said because this would mean that he would leave the Worldeater Broodmother alone here, something that he wasn't really keen on because he was aware that the Worldeater Broodmother was relatively weak right now.

Even though she had far higher combat prowess compared to her actual Level and Tier, she could still be killed by a bunch of Bronze-Tier Professionals. The sole thing that Samiel could come up with was to seal the entrance to the cavern once again and remain within the vicinity of the cavern.

After the Worldeater Broodmother started producing War Drones, he could leave the cavern without supervision because the Worldeater Broodmother would have more means to defend itself. 

He knew that everything depended on the quality of the Biomass, other specific materials and Mana Crystals or other types of Energy Crystals for the creation of the Drones that the Worldeater Broodmother could create.

Due to that, Samiel needed to find her the things that she needed as fast as possible, as the Worldeaters were most vulnerable during their early growth stages. During this stage of growth, the Worldeater Broodmother was dependent on Samiel's protection and evolution.

As soon as they reached the Bronze-Tier, they started showcasing more of the unique abilities of their species and were getting more and more powerful. 

And once they reached the Gold-Tier, they would typically undergo several specific evolutions, making them almost impossible to kill, not to mention that once they reached the Gold-Tier they were able to completely refine the World Core of Lower World.

When they reached the Legendary Level, they became entirely different entities, that were nigh impossible to kill, with terrifying devouring capabilities that could be regarded as scourge of the worlds.

"I will cast several powerful Wards around the entrance to the cavern system and seal it entirely until I return."

Samiel's mastery over the Ward Magic was relatively high, so he planned to make use of it and cast the protection of Ward Magic over the cavern entrance. Seeing the Worldeater Broodmother nod her huge head; Samiel then left the cavern system as he arrived at the familiar entrance. 

He cast the Intermediate Warding Magic over the cavern entrance as countless Seals appeared around the entrance to the underground. Most of them were cast within the Eldritch Speech because it was the most potent language. 

"That should be done... now I can go hunt..."

Now that the safety of the Worldeater Broodmother was guaranteed, he could go hunt for the Biomass without care of the other things.

While the Wards that he cast over the cavern entrance were only of the Intermediate Magic, he knew that to break through them; one would need to be at least peak Silver-Tier Professional.

That was because the Wards were inscribed in the Eldritch Speech, a very powerful Magical Language that even further amplified the strength of the Wards. On top of everything, he also laid down a few concealment and stealth Wards for the cavern entrance to be hidden from the sight of ordinary Professionals.

"Considering the Mana Density of this Lower World, it should not be a problem to gather materials that the Worldeater Broodmother requires for her evolution."

Hopefully, this trip would be cut short and he would find the things that he needed as soon as possible.
