Does Rou have any enemies at the moment? After all he's accomplished and his power, I can't imagine there being any opponents worth his time.
There are quite a few beings stronger than him not to mention gods, but he is growing stronger and I doubt the gods will be able to stop him. Right now after the latest evolution he is being targeted as a world enemy by the holy kingdom and they aren't weak fodder.

Of course. It's always the church. On the topic of gods, I heard on Jcafe that he's already reached Fierce God Vajrayaksa.

Yeah.
Spoiler for Recent events:
He reached Fierce God state after the Fire Dungeon which was around day 245. This is also when he got the title "Enemy of the World: Insatiable Gluttony". The holy kingdom and basically a lot of heroes got the message that Gluttony had been born into the world which put them into serious mode. In the past of this world there had been two other Sins, Greed and Sloth and they both had caused huge amounts of conflict and destruction in the world. Apparently some girl received the savior role and is involved in a savior epic now and she got the title at the same time Rou got his.
They don't really know anything about him though, they're just speculating based on the past two Sins and they think it's newly born when Rou obviously isn't. Apparently they're going to be using phantasmal weapons which are ridiculously OP though they might actually stand a chance, they're not taking a Sin lightly. An issue is that the girl who is the Savior was sick until getting the role recently so she has absolutely no fighting experience or anything at all.

Spoiler for :
It's interesting how they gave him the designation Gluttony. Did they figured out his Absorption ability?

Titles and things seem to be automatic, the world works somewhat like a game.
Spoiler:
Basically Rou ate the boss of the Fire Dungeon and then got the title and when he received the title, the Holy Kingdom and Heroes also got messages telling them that Gluttony had been born into the world. The Holy Kingdom are not the ones that designated him that.
Fun note, when Rou ranked up to Fierce God, Kanami's title changed/updated to "Legal Wife of the Living God".

This series is like a darker, even more edgier combination of Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou and Mushoku Tensei -Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu?!
By the way, is 'gramps' the MC's father?
Yeah as spoiled by some people on 4 chan the MC totally deserves to be eliminated by the 'savior'. He has way crossed what would normally be acceptable for a MC character.

From what I'm reading here, this series also reminds me of Isekai Touzokutan
Spoiler for Isekai Touzokutan:
in that they are both about capturing people as sex slaves.
Narou really is full of crazy stuff. I would never have imagined something like that being published here in the west.

How so? I've been following all the spoilers and the worst stuff MC has done is intentionally try to get people to pick fights with him so he'd have an excuse to eat them. Unless you're going to talk about the sex stuff, then honestly it's not even that bad either. Most of his worst offenses are against people that tried to attack him or his group, he doesn't really show any mercy in that case.

Well this is where the thing that probably is what Kioras is talking about.
Spoiler for Later on:
He uses some of his skills to basically make them want sex so it's still basically rape, just the people involved are enjoying it? He did it to the group of elves that attacked his group. Elves were pissed Rou turned them down because they were acting all mightier than thou to him since his group is mainly goblins. So being the prideful folks Elves are they sent an attack force at him, basically going to force them to fight on their side. Of course Rou's group won and made sport of the captured elves, both the male and female elves.
Even Rou thinks his morals on rape are weird considering his other actions. Personally I still don't think Rou is that bad considering the world in question though and I mean his allies and population under him are pretty happy. Hell one of the captured guys after he was released went and brought his entire village of people back because the life as part of Rou's community was so much better.

Well, they wanted it so it was consensual. I don't think so either. Meh. Friends with benefits.

Day 16-Day 20
Spoiler:
Well, it's no great loss for us, so before the sun had reached it's zenith, most of the surviving goblins together with gob-kichi and gobbi-chan had a combined practice session.
As for the training, for me, gob-kichi and gobbi-chan, increasing our chances of survival by training is no loss.
It's a dog eat dog world so, from the start I'm thoroughly going to drill into their bodies that I'm superior to them.
No matter if the trainee is male or female, thoroughly.
Because dealing with insurrections is troublesome, I'm going to make obeying me into an instinct, by endless repetition if I have to.
So that their bodies and hearts aren't broken, but in order for them not to have excess energy left, my aim is to stop only at the last moment.
The result was that including gobbi-chan and gob-kichi no goblin had the strength left to move.
To the goblins who endlessly shed sweat, with feeble breathing, because of all the tribute I had gathered I wanted to make something out of it.
I had the motivation to do something however, it's probably for the better if I don't do anything absurd.
Because if I die from exhaustion, that's it.
...Gobbi-chan lay jiggling and shivering among the other females, with extreme pride showcasing her armor and necklace, but let's pretend I didn't see that.
Since reincarnating, for the first time I went hunting alone.
I don't know how it was in the beginning, but now I can move around this forest like it's my home turf, and when I somehow managed to procure enough for the ones who couldn't move, I concluded that days hunting.
To do this service for them is probably OK.
To the goblins who had trained so much they couldn't move, I distributed the food.
That evening, I went into the inner parts of the cave.
To the place where the human women who had been taken from somewhere were placed.
Since I turned into a hobgoblin, I've become something that more resembles a human, so I thought having a conversation might be possible.
So, I'll announce the outcome: I couldn't have a conversation with them.
They were completely broken. Their eyes were utterly dead. They were drooling uncontrollably. There was a faint smell of corpses around them.
Compared to how they were last time I saw them, they were, alot worse this time.
Also in this short time, of the girls the one who looked youngest had also gotten pregnant.
Though this is inevitable, I felt alot of pity for her.
I can't help thinking that a girl this cute could have married into any family, yet she ended up here only to be continuously raped.
Because of that, I asked.
"Do you want to die?"
If it was the me from before, I'd press my hands together to offer a prayer, the end. But now that I've ranked up into a hobgoblin I asked.
The way I am now, I'd be able to kill or help these girls if they asked me to. Even if I was found out, my safety is guaranteed.
However, my question was left unanswered.
However, there was some movement. Her small, weak lips moved slightly, and as if she just remembered how to, a tear fell from her eye. Having understood the women's intentions, I took from a small pouch I found on the kobolds a small liquid filled bottle which I left behind, after which I went back to the cave bedroom. I didn't look back.
"Day seventeen"
Waking up early, I went to the interior of the cave. The captured human women were all dead. They all lied still, like if they were sleeping.
From the look of things, the girls had taken poison that killed them in their sleep. Where they got that poison is however a mystery. Truly, a mystery.
I, being the one who first discovered them, after taking a small empty bottle that laid close to them and putting it inside my bag, went to report to the goblin elder.
Upon the stomach of the beautiful girl, the goblin elder who had rushed there mumbled some gibberish, whereafter he cried miserably while grieving, but I was indifferent.
For the girls dead bodies, I took it upon myself to dispose of them.
Rather than senselessly feeding wild animals and having them leave a mess, and because I felt slightly compassionate, I removed their hearts, stomachs, one breast and their wombs as payment for the labour, after which I set out to cremate them.
Because the [pyrokinesis] ability I got yesterday wasn't enough, because the usual way wasn't enough I collected a bunch of oilgrass to make it burn well and a bunch of twigs were used to ensure the heat was enough.
After using my [pyrokinesis] to ignite the fire, I prayed for the girls happiness in the next world whilst looking at the blazing fire.
Namuamidabutsu. (buddhist prayer)
Among the girls there seemed to be those with adventure-like skills. And quite a lot of them too.
This group of people working away from home could actually have been unexpectedly strong. They might only have looked frail because they were captured.
It's unusual for me but I didn't feel the slightest inclination to learn about my new abilities. Instead, after I concluded the morning practice, because I couldn't get into the mood to go hunting I sent out gobu-kichi and gobbi-chan together as friends where-after I endeavoured to experiment at crafting shields and swords from the collected materials.
I have a feeling that lately crafting things have become somewhat of a hobby of mine.
Ah, it seems my new skill [job craftsman] became useful without delay.
The goods I crafted came out a lot better than before. The ability probably as the name implies joined in to correct the mistakes I would have done otherwise.
The shield and the armor ended up being successes, while the sword ended up as a failure.
As for how I got food, gob-kichi and gobbi-chan together with the since yesterday increased tribute covered me.
Ah, this might be a bit late, but Gobbi-chan had also turned into a hobgoblin this day.
She'd become quite cute, so I felt slightly nervous.
She had changed a considerable amount since her time as a goblin.
Her equipment had also become too small, so I lent her my spares.
With her showing a quite complicated expression after having beeen given them, both happy and discontent, I decided to make her brand new stuff at a later time.
Truth is, I would have been happy to make it today, but we didn't have enough time.
"Day eighteen"
After finishing morning practice, we three gobs together while doing our usual stuff came upon kobolds. This time there were three of them, two of which were equipped like the eariler ones with armor and long swords, however the last one had a short bow and a quiver.
While thinking "Is this a two days in a row strengthening gobbi-chan flag?", I checked the surroundings for additional enemies, in order to make a decision.
With it being all clear, I chose to commence the assault.
With the kobold that could attack from range with the bow and arrows being a higher threat level compared to the others, the sneak attack with a poisoned stone from gobbi-chans staff sling was the decisive action.
With the poisoned stone hitting the kobold right in the eye, we stole away the bow wielding kobolds usual composure and vision.
Without letting the time while the other kobolds got in a panic get wasted, I and gobu-kichi went to utterly defeat the two kobolds who possessed long swords that looked slightly better than the ones we got earlier.
My longsword might be worn-out, but for my current body it's just the right size, and I've gotten used to my body now, so seperating the kobolds head from his body was easy. Right now, the horn I used earlier is more like a knife now, which might have made me feel the difference all the more.
Gobu-kichi broke all his opponents bones violently, which was kinda gross to look at.
Gobbi-chan, with the (pseudo-)knife I earlier gave her made of obsidian(-look alike), slit the bow wielding kobolds throat and then gave it a finishing blow.
Apparently, gobbi-chans evolution direction lay in brains and speed.
To use weapons cleverly, intelligence was needed after all.
After that we worked hard at disassembling the body. We collected the armor, gobbi-chan got the short bow and quiver, and I took the slightly better looking longsword for myself. Because there was no suitable loot for gobu-kichi, he will have to wait for the next time.
While these kobolds sadly didn't have any firespirit stones, my collection of small bags increased by three. One I kept for my own use, and the other two I gave to the other gobos for putting medicinal plants in. Now if something where to happen, I'm sure they will be of great use.
And so, each goblin got one body to eat.
I didn't get any new abilities, and while I felt that with just a bit more I'd gain something more, the ability I already got, [abandon], got slightly stronger.
[Abandon] lets me see my opponents attack trajectories as red threads in my vision, so in battle it can be incredibly convenient.
After that we hunter whatever we came across, after which we returned to the cave in order to sleep.
"Day nineteen"
After completing morning practice, I didn't go hunting, instead I went to look at the warehouse in the inner parts of the cave. Since some of the captured girls had adventurer-like abilities, it occurred to me that items relating to those abilities might have been captured together with the girls.
From just looking at the stuff, even a genius like me couldn't decide what's trash and what's worth keeping, however thanks to the ability I got from the orc, [detect analysis], I could see the items details.
In addition, since analysing stuff gave the ability experience, even analysing duds wasn't a waste of time.
With such a carefree mood, it seems I found a treasure trove. And a fairly large one at that.
Goblin-rou has obtained [weapon-staff] entry-level magicians cane.
Goblin-rou has obtained [weapon-staff] mistletoe blessed cane.
Goblin-rou has obtained [weapon-sword] iron estocs x3.
Goblin-rou has obtained [weapon-dagger] iron pointy knife x4.
Goblin-rou has obtained [weapon-axe] iron battle-axe x2.
Goblin-rou has obtained [weapon-ranged] crossbow x2.
Goblin-rou has obtained [weapon-consumable] iron-arrowhead arrow x50.
Goblin-rou has obtained [protection-shield] iron round shield x2.
Goblin-rou has obtained [protection-armor] bruised breastplate.
Goblin-rou has obtained [protection-hand] solid iron-wrought gauntlet.
Goblin-rou has obtained [medicine] health potions that might have gone bad x6.
Goblin-rou has obtained [medicine] mana potions that might have gone bad x8.
Goblin-rou has obtained [medicine] holy water bottles of the Enrique faith x3.
Goblin-rou has obtained [storage] backpacks x2.
Goblin-rou has obtained [storage] field duffel bag x3
Goblin-rou has obtained [book] first volume of "From the kings capital to the unexplored regions of the world".
Goblin-rou has obtained [book] second volume(of three) of "Introduction to magic - basic sorcery".
Goblin-rou has obtained [book] "Spontaneous prayer becomes the charity of god".
Goblin-rou has obtained [book] "How to learn the Erietta continents' alphabet".
When going over it, I found treasure after treasure.
At first glance it seems to be composed entirely of unusable scrap, however below the uppermost layer, lots of useful stuff laid sleeping.
Yeah, it seems this place truly is a treasure trove.
While there's no great difference between the estocs I found and the long sword I'm carrying currently, since it's in better condition, I decided to swap.
Comparing the obsidian knife I'd been using till now with the pointy knives, their blades were longer and their edges sharper. Blade is single edged, and only at the tip is it double-edged, I suspect it's meant to be used as a hunting knife, so I took the knives as well.
Four knives might be might be a lot, but since the production of pocket knives already has begun, there's really no problem.
I looked forward to when at a later time I'd disassemble the knives to learn how they were made.
After that, except for the estoc I picked and the longsword I swapped for it, I ate the rest of the swords.
Ability [beheading power strengthening] learned.
Ability [pierce power strengthening] learned.
I learned [beheading power strengthening] from eating the longsword, and [pierce power strengthening] from eating the estocs.
In order for the reader to understand this, I'll tell you about my [Consumption absorption ability].
I learn abilities not only from eating living beings however, for items above a certain level, the power of the learned abilities depends on the the quality of the item , and for it to enter my mind I must have used the item a certain amount. If I haven't, then eating the item would be pointless, and in that way I have to keep wondering, "I wonder if this will go well now", I've had to practice that perception quite a bit. Even if I make a mistake I'll recover, I told myself to give me the bravery to keep trying.
Reaching the top really feels good.
While I was doing that by myself, gobu-kichi and gobbi-chan came by. Apparently they thought it odd that they couldn't see me, so they went looking for me. They really came at a great time. I'd taken the potions and other stuff that you could hang on the belt and put in the duffel bag, I crammed as much of the rest as I could into the backpack. That which I couldn't fit inside my bags, I asked gobu-kichi and gobbi-chan to carry for me.
And then gobu-kichi graduated from his shell-wrapped cudgel, to a rustic looking battle-axe and his wooden shield with pieces of carapace sewn on was switched for an iron round shield. Since there was a hole in the middle of the round shield, we didn't really have a choice and made an impromptu fix by attaching a piece of carapace there.
Then I had him equip the breast plate instead of the shell reinforced leather armor I made for him two days ago. Together with the shell-helmet I made for him two days ago, gobu-kichis defense was the highest by far of us three.
He totally looked like heavy infantry.
He kept the cudgel he had used till today strapped over his back as a spare.
To gobbi-chan, I gave the two crossbows and 50 arrows. In addition, I gave her the obsidian knife I had been using till now in addition to one of the pointy knives to use as insurance, but any more than this was when looking at the weight of the stuff she was carrying the limit. Nevertheless, out of us three, the one with the highest ranged offensive power was her and with her deft handling of the two knives, her offensive potential shouldn't be made light of.
For how she looked, the impression she gave was of either a hunter or an archer.
And at the end, I. Two long swords were changed into estocs, with a small shield similar to the one gobu-kichi have reinforced by shells. This shield was made so it could be fixed to the right arm, and still allow me to move my wrist without problems.
To protect my left hand, I equipped the gauntlet wrought from solid iron. The gauntlet had less defensive power than the round shield, however if the aim was just to deflect attacks then it should be enough.
This way I had reasonable defence, whilst not hurting my ease of movement too much.
With the effects of the ability [Job light swordsman] added, I feel like it's risen by another level again.
And also, since today the goblins collected an earlier unthinkable amount of tribute for us, we returned to them. I couldn't eat it all, it was far too much.
"Day twenty"
The morning was spent with practice. Comparing the since we started, the expressions of the goblins had changed. Yeah, because goblins mature quickly, startling changes can be seen even in a short time if training is done in earnest.
This might be because, if they don't quickly adapt to their surroundings they'll simply die.
In the afternoon we hunted. We caught 10 night vipers, 14 armored tanukis and 5 kobolds.
This is probably in large part because our equipment had rapidly become a lot better.
Or perhaps I should say, the deadly combination of gobbi-chans powerful and accurate blows with the crossbow together with the rapid firing of the short bow was brutal.
Because I and gobu-kichi acted as her shield, even worse. To bring the battle to an end, gobu-kichi used his high defense and battle axe to decapitate the remainders.
Together with my abundant abilities that I used to continuously vary my attack pattern and my direction of the battle, opponents like kobolds didn't pose the slightest threat for us.
Perhaps with how things stood right now, even if the kobolds turned up with twice our numbers we'd probably not have any problems.
Only, what I truly wanted to eat was orcs. This in order to strengthen the ability I got from the orc earlier, however after that one time we hadn't seen even one orc.
I quickly wanted to find more orcs however, today I went back ahead of time to the cave in order to read books.
Well, having the ability [job magician] is nice and all, and that my magic power was increased by my subspecies was also nice, but because I hadn't the foggiest idea what magic was, I couldn't actually use any magic. That's why, in this way I was reading "Introduction to magic - basic sorcery" until morning came up the day after.
You might say I had surprising difficulty to get a grasp of it, which made it a rough trial.
Or rather, I feel there's a limit to how much I can understand just from reading books.
And what's more, I started from the second volume of three!
If only, I could see someone use magic at least once!
Time, without listening to my screams, steadily moved forward.
Day 81-Day 93 summary
Spoiler:
Day 81
MC's pawns leveled up as a result of the battle.
A hob gob became a cleric (reads half-saint/half-holy light lord)
Another became a ghoul.
Another became a dodomeki (a youkai from japanese folklore) http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%99%...9B%AE%E9%AC%BC
5 hobgob became ogres
6 kobold evolved into footmen, the leader went from footman to samurai.
Equipment were given out.
The slave troops were given choice, about half decided to leave. MC gave them food, tools and travel expenses for their work. ~50 decided to join since they've no where to go back to.
The newbs
3 lords
5 half-lords
4 draconians/humanoid dragons, think draconian troops from DnD/dragonlance (reads as dragonnewt),
6 half-draconians
10 ogres
1 Troll
5 lizardmen
5 Dwarves
1 Dullahan
3 apemen (think gorilla, not son goku)
1 half-vamp
3 redcaps (think murderous gnomes)
2 tigermen (from Breath of Fire, or tiger version of the khajit from skyrim)
1 centaur
There's going to be a powershift within the army, but he's sending the newbies for training, they rank lower than the gobs.
14 of them weren't happy and they want to be leader instead, so he just took them on.
Knocked out 2 lords, 4 dragonnewts, subspecies thunderdragon newts cause of their abilities (element), Apeman sent MC flying with an ambush, proclaim he's the new boss. That's until MC did the exact move the apeman did. Half-vamp had high vitality, so it took a beating from MC after failing to charm him (cause they are both dudes). MC gave him some of his blood to cure him. Remember that special potion the chief elf gave him (but refused to give to the greedy humans, which started the war)? Remember how MC absorbed that power, yeah, its power was also in his blood. So half-vamp is completely enamoured with MC. Needless to say, Seiji was busy that day (the cleric).
The newcomers wore the slavery cuffs and began at the bottom of the army.
The dwarves were tasked with blacksmithing.
It was more training, and MC decided to start using his synthesis skill. He got the Gale Lord ability as a result.
Day 82
He did more synthesis the next day. He start synthesizing his abilities, the former abilities are gone (but still listed) when they are used to make new abilities.
Kichi was tasked with training the newcomers, MC went on an renovation spree with 62 male slaves and his skeleton (no need for a day off like last time). The main thing was the hotspring (you know, the one that Asue found?), he's planning on milking the elves with it (day spa/hotspring inn).
Combined a bunch of skills, now he has
Dragonscale Purification
Instant Sight
Black Ogre Constitution (this thing is OP as hell, took 4 skills to synthesize)
Black Ogre's Roar
Black Ogre's Evil eye
Dual Damage Reduction (physical and magical)
Cursed Wounds (this is kinda a jumbo for me, basically the victim's wound can't be cured for some time while under this curse)
Day 83
2 lords
5 half-lords
4 draconians
6 half-draconians
1 Troll
1 Dullahan
1 apemen
1 half-vamp
2 tigermen
were chosen for morning training and to test out his synthesized skills.
He oneshotted (not kill) the Troll (who have the highest def) with the Black Ogre Constitution ability, MC considers the skill OP and dangerous (personally want to see him use that on Asue in training).
Afternoon was more renovation, and planning a war strategy with the slaves (using them to infiltrate the Stern Belt Kingdom).
Day 84
He was called awake in the nude, dwarves gave him some weapons as presents that they made in the smithy. Things made with mithril, steel and spirit stones. They are useless for MC, but he was grateful nonetheless. His inability to talk with the dwarves bothers him (he haven't eaten a dwarf yet).
He went to stroll around in the forest after morning practice. He feels a little melancholy since there's no enemies left for him in the forest (nothing attacks him since he's too powerful). He went to visit the dryad and talked for a bit after doing his errands. This part is pretty vague -it could mean they were just spending time together or they got busy like the first time, not sure what was intended to implied, I think it might have been intentionally done by the author-.
Went back with the gathered materials and he was "busy" that night.
Some of the humans were pregnant and he's wonder who'd give birth first. He was happy.
Day 85
He started building fields to increase food supplies (self sufficient). He used the stuff he got from the forest, spirit stones and dryad yesterday to boost growth. Did some training, and then started farming. The supply troop, the redhead and MC farmed.
New synthesis skills
Solid Dragonscale Armour
Strengthened Slashing and Piercing
Quick Parallel Thinking
Day 86
The human slaves were released to start their infiltration, he didn't want to make enemies, but he doesn't know enough about this world.
After the send off, the elf chief contacted MC to invite him to a Sending Off the Dead festival (think Obon, but strictly sending off the dead). They brought some stuff to join in the evening, the redhead and the two knights joined at their insistence and they were introduced to the elves. They drank and were generally in a good mood. A whiteball drifted into the sky as the festival ends and MC gave a prayer, the whiteball contains the souls of the dead.
Day 87
Asue dug out 2 huge spirit stone, it was light and dark respectively. The mine is now depleted since the dungeon is inert now with Ritanna (the carnbuckle) gone, so spirit don't gather anymore. He ate it and got some abilities and he thanks+pray for them (ritanna and creator).
Light/Dark resist
Photon skill (PSO2~~~)
Gravity skill
Checked on the renovations after morning practice and then started building a carriage since he promised redhead to he'd travel.
He gathered the original 5 females he rescued (redhead, smithy, alchemist, 2 chef sisters) to let them know he's traveling in 3 days to let them decide if they want to tag along.
Day 88
The hot spring building is done, he just went through the daily stuff, a quiet day.
Day 89
Decided to leave in 5 groups.
Since it's the day before departure, MC invited elf chief to the hot spring. He asked about it and MC explained how it's fee based usage. The chef sisters did well and the gobs brought out some delicious food, since everyone was enjoying themselves, MC brought out some wine he got earlier. The whole thing ended up being a party with people dancing around a campfire with MC in charge of singing. The newcomers slowly joined in on the fun as well. MC watched the group as he drank with the elven chief, who MC considers as a friend. (Kinda like, booze taste better with friend)
Day 90
Satisfied with the plans he put in place in his absence, MC head off to the city of Trent.
Day 91
On the way to Trent, they stopped by a small artisan village named clute that makes high quality stuff with the woods from the forest. They were guarded by 5 iron golems and made a deal with the orc by giving them female slaves. But the orc recently broke their agreement and started attacking humans while they were out gathering and even raided their village. MC is a mercenary, so he got a contract to escort the villager to harvest and stuff. Turns out the intelligent orcs are gone and the left over orcs are too stupid to plan ahead and ate all their food. They ended up hunting the villagers as a result. MC took care of the problem, got a squad of gob to take over the contracted duty and then went on his way.
Day 92
They went hunting for blade rabbits, turtle snakes and buffalo. Since the carriage is a self moving bone-centipede (made from the black skels that MC can summon), it scares the humans. So it was suggested that he get something to lead it so at least give the illusion of being drawn. They killed some buffalo and had a small feast, their horn is worth a pretty penny as well. Learned "Pulverize" and "Numbing" (applies to self) from eating the buffalo meat. MC then tamed a few of them to lead the carriage. They went hunting for some blade rabbits after. Redhead soloed one and ate it raw after decapitating it for her jobclass (Dark Soldier, read as Noire Soldier), the alchemist gasped and blacksmith got a little grossed out. They went turtle snake hunting afterward, using a party of 6. MC, redhead, bi (that girl gob from chapt 3, the one ending up being a half-vamp) and 3 lords (Illusion, Gale and Flame lord) hunted 38 of them. Blacksmith was happy since their shell is worth a lot of money. MC is happy cause the meat is so good with the wine, also learned "Hide in the shell" and "Rest/Hibernate". He wanted to eat some harpies as well, but was considerate of the weak stomach blacksmith and didn't do so. They went on their way to the mountain roads.
Day 93
There were different paths with different difficulties, MC just went with the shortest one. The place is inhabited by boss-class monsters (Red Bears, the same species of the one that took his arm) with the strongest being the massive 4 wing eagle (read Falaise Eagle). The eagle are quick and have venomous talons, to top it a off, one of them is a subspecies that's bless by the WindGod that's smart enough to lead other eagles. The eagles attacked them from the blindspot, but MC easily dealt with them with his "Sensing" ability to detect them and shot them down with his web ala spiderman style. He took down 18 birds that way and stripped them for salable parts. He grilled and fried the meat and stuffed himself (hmm.... finger licking good).
He learned "Panic Voice" (think zubat's confuse ray from pokemon I guess?), "Wing Growth", "High-speed flight", "Wind Reading", "Paralyzing Talon" and "Para. Resist" from eating them birds.
They followed the road where there's a nest where a bunch of bones (including humans) litter the place. 5 eagles, led by the Windblessed eagle (Jet Eagle) attacked the group. He didn't want to kill it since it shows signs of intelligence, but he has to eat as much as possible since he can gain the "Divine Protection" from eating it like he did with the Red Bear, also to let others eat it as well. They fought for an hour and MC is getting owned, lost his right arm and his left leg is shredded. He had to use a bunch of new abilities to stay in the midair fight. That being said, Jet Eagle wasn't in that good a shape as well. MC lost his halberd and Jet Eagle tries to finish him off. MC's like fuck it, activates all his defensive and regen abilities (his right arm grew back and his left leg's fine now) which uses up all the energy he stockpiled, but its okay since there's more food in front of him anyways. MC used gravity control and thread shooting to control Jet Eagle's flight before laying the smack down with a double hammer fist that's buffed with the OP Black Ogre Constitution and Exoskeleton suit (he's got that kamen rider armour ability while still in the forest). It barely survived after it landed and created a crater in the ground, MC went to get his halberd to finish it off and munch on its head. Then they stripped it for salable parts, MC wanted to go after the heart, ended up finding a Legendary class spirit stone.
All the chick (remember, they were hawkers/peddlers) were staring the shit out of it. The damn thing is worth a small country if it's put up to auction. MC decided against eating it (for now I'm guessing) and shoved it into his magic storage. He thanks his "Golden Rule" and "Good Luck" abilities for getting him that item (it's rare as hell needless to say).
His exoskeleton ability absorbed the Jet Eagle feathers and combined it with the rest of it, turning into something like a bird with retractable claws (ala wolverine). He ate the meat and shouted unexpected from the deliciousness. He learned "Feather Arrow" (not too sure about this one), "Sky Predator", "Divine Protection of the Wind God", "Wind Immunity", "Indestructible Talon" and "Sonic Bird".
Satisfied with the result, he went and salvaged the loots left by the people that died there. He gathered the bones and gave them a funeral and prayer via cremation.
MC notices 3 lords/ogres/demon (didn't specify) were stalking him and had a bad feeling about it.
