Indeed.
The Penetrator had taken a stand and shifted his mind according to what was available at the moment.
The moment he had seen a mutation with something to do with the soul, he had gone right for it!
Furthermore, its name gave him a recollection of something that he had come across some time ago.
One of the classes he had been offered before as a Null Lifeform out of the four.
The Spirit Walker.
When looking at the options that Red Rage had for his classes, the Spirit Walker and the Forcemancer hadn’t shown up, which to Skullius meant that they were probably not compatible with the Apostle or were perhaps not easy to come by due to how special they were.
But with this one, while the mutation had the prefix ‘Pseudo’ to it, Skullius could tell that his new Apostle whom he hadn’t named yet for foolish reasons, had received some insane skills that he decided to nab lest they didn’t show up again which was very much a possibly!
As for his earlier goals of getting a speed type Apostle, well, he still intended to do that with this current one but through other means. The [Inorganic Null-Burst Engine] would have been the perfect choice for this, but that would have been a waste.
With the [Pseudo Spirit Walker’s Hide], he could attain abilities that alligned with his goals.
Yes, he could.
Though the process was quite pricey.
The Demon Hound released bursts of hot air upon Skullius’ command and with its upright stance that made it look like a werewolf, it suddenly, quivered as over the countless ribbons that hid its bony body giving it a bulkier appearance, a furry coat appeared!
It was surprising beautiful, with a rather dark brown hue that was stained with indecipherable marks that emanated a luminous white light on the chest of the beast!
With this cover, the [Pseudo Spirit Walker’s Hide], the Apostle looked even more beastly!
The moment it finished layering over the Demon Hound, the Apostle turned ethereal and lunged forward.
‘Heh. I wonder if they will even be able to see him,’ Skullius chuckled to himself as he began walking forward.
His head turned to another direction as he finally addressed something.
He had been feeling a piercing gaze which he finally paid attention to and as his sockets took in the view, he noticed it as belonging to the old man Terian who stared at him from afar with barely hidden caution.
Skullius merely nodded coolly. He hoped that this would send the message that he was an ally, provided that this man wouldn’t tie his appearance with the one that Damilla specified back then.
He hadn’t seen it, but he could guess, right?
On the other side, the Demon Hound darted through the streets with its ethereal form leaving dust and large marks but the truth of the matter was that no one but Red Rage or Skullius could see it!
It freely leapt over much of the debris as it finally reached a rampaging octo-humanoid!
The creature didn’t cease the flinging of its tentacles as it caused mayhem in every direction, its beastly strength shredding the earth!
The Demon Hound which was currently two and half meters tall at this point after slowly regulating its size for convenience suddenly miniaturised to the point of becoming the size of ant and crawled up the body of the tentacled creature!
The size regulation effect of its Limitless Body was used while its hide made its form imperceptible!
The creature then activated one of its skills as it raced along the back of the octo-humanoid.
[Amorphous Sampling!]
~~~

A circular light gushed from the body of the Demon Hound, tracing along the body of its foe and before long it vanished.
However, the deed was done.
On the back of the Hound, its hide and Unliving Threads protruded outwards as it seemed that something was building up within its body in a violent manner!
Soon, two long, slimy tentacles with a dark blue hue shot from the creature’s back, their sides becoming marred with vicious barbs!
The Apostle darted towards the creature’s face and immediately put its new limbs to use as it pierced them right into the creature’s soft eye!
PCHH!
The octo-humanoid screeched and clutched its face but its unseen foe had already created an opening for itself and was already travelling within its body while clawing at the soft flesh!
The Apostle had determined that these creatures were far stronger than itself and decided to dispatch them in a way it saw fit and most effective!
Wrecking them from the inside!
While inside the flesh and blood infested interior of the Cluster beast, the Hound suddenly opened its maw where between its sharp teeth from all sides, supported by the Unliving Thread that constantly wriggled, three luminous light appeared!
One green, one red and the last white.
The red light became brighter than others becoming akin to a bright gem that the beast chomped down on!
Immediately, its body bulked up as its size grew bigger and bigger which clashed against the innards of the creature it inhabited!
Its chest became bloated as something hot and powerful built up and in the next second, that particular something was released as the Hound faced up where the creature’s brain was and fired!
VWUUUUP!
A beam of highly condensed red energy shot out in a particularly violent manner, dismantling anything in its a way in a piping hot manner!
Outside where it appeared that this particular creature was screeching horribly in pain while bleeding from its eye as it rolled over the ground, a bright red beam of energy tore through its head from the top, releasing blood and brain matter!
The beam didn’t travel for a great distance before it died down, signalling the end of the skill and the creature’s life!
[Apostle ‘…’ has killed (V) LV80 Bulk Terror. 4,430,000 Exp awarded]
[Your prey…]
The Demon Hound exited the creature’s body and dashed towards its next foe with rapid speed as it sought to try out different ways to kill its opponents.
The experience it received was also good and it seemed enticed by it as well as the 65 Null Life Essence points it then salvaged with [Null Extraction], a skill that it had received after reaching Tier 1.
Skullius who watched from afar could only chuckle with malice.
This new Apostle of his was going to be particularly useful especially when considered the method of harvesting Experience, Null Life Essence and Mana that he had thought of given his close ties to his two Apostles.
‘Kek…’
The Penetrator then looked to the skies from the barely twenty second battle he had just watched where the figure of a golden Pelvis-Boar-Man was heaving up a massive chunk of the falling island!
Red Rage had taken to trying to protect the city as he speedily grabbed a block he could handle flew with it a distance as he generated speed and then flung it outside the city!
With his Limited Flight which only allowed him up to a height of 300 meters, his progress was hindered quite a bit but the Apostle would use some of the blocks to kill the octo-humanoids below as he threw them at the bastards from his height.
‘Looks like I’m the only one who isn’t doing anything,’ Skullius said as he grabbed the thick chain around his body and began twirling it as he dashed forward….
