"Face the Swift Wind!"
With a low shout, a rapidly rotating barrier of airflow—a wind wall, for short—suddenly formed in front of Han Sen.
The swiftly flowing cyan airflow cascaded down like a waterfall, almost spanning the entire space, looking quite spectacular!
While its defensive power remained unknown, its stylishness was undoubtedly maxed out.
After a period of experimentation, Han Sen successfully mastered various ways to use the power of wind.
For example, he could strengthen himself, enhance his attacks, and he even had a sudden idea to integrate it into his "Scorching Heat Bullet" to increase the move's speed and penetrating power!
He even controlled the airflow to lift his heavy body slowly off the ground, floating precariously in mid-air.
Just maintaining the hover generated violent gusts of wind.
Countless invisible wind blades carved the entire interior of the nest into a pitted mess, sending Scattered gravel flying.
Although he flew erratically and with great effort, Han Sen was quite satisfied.
After all, he had successfully taken the first step from 0 to 1, having initially developed the ability to fly.
"Swift Wind" greatly enriched his mobility and tactical options, and Han Sen turned his attention to another ability he was even more excited about—
"Monsterification"!
For him, a transmigrator, being able to shed this neither-human-nor-ghost Monster form and return to being human clearly held extraordinary significance!
Where his will led, the ability activated—
"Monsterification: Human Form Transformation"!
Crack...!
Crack...!
Crack...!
An invisible force, completely different from before, acted upon Han Sen's body, and the first sounds were a grating friction of bones and the contracting of carapace!
In an instant, the hideous armor covering his entire body emitted a fine rustling sound; it wasn't breaking, but rather writhing and contracting like a living thing, rapidly sinking beneath his skin.
His original massive body, over three meters tall, also began to shrink at a visible rate; muscle fibers and bone structures rapidly underwent an unscientific reshaping under a nearly regular force.
In just a few seconds, the terrifying, oppressive Monster from before vanished.
In its place was a young male, approximately one meter ninety-five tall, with a cold and heroic face.
His physique was slender, his muscles well-proportioned, with what should be large being large, and what should be hard being hard—
Referring to his strong pectorals and bulging biceps.
His short, black hair was neat and clean, his facial features well-defined, with a high nose bridge and thin lips.
Combined, they formed a handsome face capable of making most human males feel ashamed of their own appearance.
If one ignored the pair of demonic eyes that occasionally flashed with a hint of inhuman scarlet, and the faint Monster aura emanating from his unclad, strong body.
Purely based on looks, he was absolutely a top-tier handsome man who could make countless young girls scream, even more appealing than the peak Yanzu from his world before transmigration.
It was Han Sen's handsome face from before his transmigration.
He couldn't help but raise a hand to touch his cheek, looking at his distinct human fingers, feeling a moment of trance.
Although not long had passed since his transmigration, Han Sen felt as if a century had gone by.
To possess a human body again after so long, this feeling was inexplicably complex.
"Although I'm no longer human, I've become stronger! But this feeling of being human again... it's not bad!"
Composing himself, Han Sen then noticed the many issues with this human body.
In his human form, his strength, speed, and defense were all greatly reduced.
The power within him felt as if it were shackled by a thick layer, operating sluggishly, his strength severely weakened.
In this state, let alone a Demon-level, he would probably struggle to handle even an ordinary tiger-class Monster.
"And there are more problems than just these."
After a series of frantic running and punching attempts, Han Sen exhaled a weary breath, analyzing inwardly: "After all, the copied ability is significantly weakened. Not only is my strength severely reduced after form switching, but the maintenance of the form is also unstable."
"I estimate that human heroes above A-rank could easily detect the incongruity and the hard-to-hide Monster aura on me."
Frowning, Han Sen came to a conclusion.
"Sure enough, Lv1 'Monsterification' is still too forced."
To perfectly integrate into human society, this ability must be upgraded to a higher level, or even evolve.
As Han Sen deactivated the ability and reverted to his Monster body, a strange feeling suddenly surged within him.
The abilities copied by the system could be directly mastered without training, which was equivalent to having a significant proficiency bonus. Therefore, Han Sen keenly noticed—
Besides being able to regularly use "Monsterification" to freely switch between human and Monster forms, he could also "Monsterification" again on the basis of his Monster body!
Feeling the information feedback from the ability itself, Han Sen himself was a little speechless.
"...What is this, glitching the system?"
But after thinking about it, he immediately felt relieved.
Everyone else masters "Monsterification" in their human state, but when he obtained this ability through the system, he was already a mature Monster!
According to the unreasonable and strange rules of this world, it made perfect sense!
"...Then, shall I try it?"
Anyway, trying it costs nothing!
With an indifferent attitude, Han Sen activated the ability again.
This time, he no longer thought about switching back to a human form, but rather undergoing "Monsterification" again based on his current state!
HenShin! (Transform!)
Boom—!
A terrifying aura erupted; at this moment, Han Sen's aura surged wildly!
His towering, pitch-black body expanded again, and the magma-like scarlet patterns on the surface of his carapace suddenly glowed with dazzling red light.
In an instant, he crossed multiple ranks, his strength directly approaching the peak of Demon-level!!
Completely! Insane!!
Within Han Sen's territory.
Noticing the sudden tremor of the ground and rock walls, countless Wolf-Level Monsters were still full of confusion, but Sharp Fang and the other tiger-class Monsters immediately looked in the direction of Han Sen's nest.
"Lord... seems to have gotten stronger again?"
"Although I'm somewhat used to it, this is too outrageous, isn't it...?"
"Indeed, breaking through at the drop of a hat, it's almost as if he can get stronger just by drinking water and eating meat..."
"..."
In the underground space, a group of Monster subordinates discussed amongst themselves.
Inside the nest, Han Sen himself was also incredibly shocked!
"Holy crap...!!"
"This power!!!"
Vast power seemed to spontaneously generate within his body like rootless water. Strangely, his muscular, expanded body felt no strain whatsoever.
This bizarre development left Han Sen feeling numb!
He just... just got stronger so effortlessly!?
What a glitch!
But upon closer inspection, this was indeed the correct way to unleash the potential of a twisted life form like a Monster, wasn't it?!
There was no need for arduous training or cultivation; a simple trigger could break through the current disaster level, and his strength would skyrocket in an incomprehensible manner!
This was the most troublesome aspect of Monsters!
While mastering the transformation ability, Han Sen unexpectedly gained an additional burst transformation ability, putting him in an exceptionally good mood.
"I didn't expect that in less than three days of becoming a Monster, I would master the villain's essential Second Stage form."
"Then this move shall be called 'Monsterification Second Stage'!"
