Those two attacked with no tact or plan.I knew they were urchins, but they should have gotten some memories from when they ate those corpses with me.It didn't make sense to do such a frontal attack...What were they up to?I was pretty curious about what their plan could be.They weren't suicidal, were they?From what could I see, their attacks were rather sloppy, and even through the darkness, the head honcho of the bandits didn't have any trouble keeping up with their attacks.He was still very wary of me attacking, after all, he knew that there were three people here, knowing that I was the one that killed all of his subordinates before the other two showed up.He kept his guard up for any sudden attack from his blindside, and he easily kept Miwa and Zerath at bay with his martial abilities.He knew how to swing his fist, his stance was airtight, and besides his sloppy looks, he knew where to hit and when to hit.His ability to block all of Miwa's crazed attacks combined with Zer

Soon enough, I found myself back in the dungeons where Aratas was leading Zerath and Miwa further in as he let me stay near the cage of the martial matters that I first saw when we entered the dungeon for the first time.If I guessed correctly, my meal would be the six people chained to the walls that stood almost near each other in the jail.They all had a refined aura around them, regardless of how raggedy and weak they looked, and even though their bodies had lost a great deal of strength, I could still feel somewhat pressured by the pure power they previously wielded at their peak. It was ingrained in their bones, even though they might have lost it now.As I waited, Aratas came back and said:"Those two weren't able to eat six people, and they stopped at 4 and a half, but you should be able to, right? I don't want the cardinal to be disappointed with the efficiency of the squad that I raised personally, especially since we fed you so many prisoners."I looked at Aratas and said w

After getting rid of the corpses, I patted my stomach and looked around.From what I could see, I was at the outer skirts of the battlefield where most of the weaklings resided, trying to hide and avoid conflict.Those two I killed were relatively weak, barely out of the squire level.They were cannon fodder.After I relaxed, I could recall that the person I dropped onto looked somewhat scared, not expecting someone to drop out of the sky.As for the second one, I'm pretty sure he only attacked because I killed his companion, before I slashed his neck open, I could see his trembling hands.I cracked my knuckles as I could feel my strength increasing a little after I finished digesting the duo's corpses.Now that I reached another step in my devouring, my ability to withstand energy from multiple corpses has increased considerably. However, the increases in strength became less and less, of course, this most likely happened because I ate only weaklings!I wouldn't get any good meals at

My head was numb, I could feel my vision swimming, and my blood was pumping through my veins at an alarming rate.Both of my hearts were beating so fast I couldn't believe what was happening, was I excited about this fight?After we separated from the headbutt, I could feel some blood dripping from my forehead as I glanced at my enemy, only to find out that he was ok!But that didn't last for long as he clenched his hands around his head and groaned. It looked like he got some internal damage inside.It was a good time to attack, so I rushed toward him, taking out my knife in the process and stabbing directly towards his neck!But would it be that easy to kill a fellow cannibal with a lot of combat experience?With lightning reflexes he dodged the knife stab and grabbed me by the arm before he struck my elbow, making my whole skeleton shake as I dropped my knife to the ground!I took two steps backward as he claimed my knife for his own and covered it in lightning!The lightning spark

Being alone on the battlefield could be considered to be a good thing. I could rest and think of some plans for the next time they would return to fight.It was just unexpected. So I needed a little time to process it, before I made my way along the trenches and hiding spots, looking around for any corpses that had been left behind.Scavenging for corpses could be another way to improve my strength without having to put my life in peril.However, if most people from the other Churches were like those Water God Church's women, it would mean that I wouldn't be able to find many corpses to eat.But since there wasn't anything else to do, might as well focus on that.I could also practice the lightning technique while scouring the battlefield at higher speeds, hitting two birds with one stone.Even though I couldn't make a mistake with the technique due to Orlo's memories, my body still needed to get used to being zapped constantly from the inside.And the technique could also be consider
