The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1140: Another Fusion!

Crunch!

Snap!

The outer shell of the [King Kong Prayer Bead (Enhanced)] was soft and glutinous with a sweet flavor, but its insides were astonishingly crispy with a rich, creamy taste. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Chocolate!

Jason’s eyes lit up.

Being a food lover, he would never turn down a snack.

Though most of the time, he preferred to eat proper meals.

Primarily because proper meals gave him a greater sense of satisfaction.

After all, biting into a roasted leg of lamb, with your mouth wide open, tearing into the skin and crunching on the bone, was just unbeatable.

And snacks?

Unless it came in a large bag you could tear open and pour directly into your mouth...

It rarely delivered that kind of satisfaction.

Still, snacks were food too.

And they were lovely all the same.

[Devour King Kong Prayer Bead (Enhanced)]

[Physical Strength, Energy, and Injuries greatly restored!]

[Satiety +50]

[Satiety: 2821]

...

Jason popped another [King Kong Prayer Bead (Enhanced)] into his mouth. As soon as he swallowed it, he tossed the remaining two into his mouth as well.

This was true double the joy!

Watching his Satiety rise to 2921, almost reaching the 3000 mark again, Jason felt a distinct sense of satisfaction welling up from within. With a pleased smirk, he picked up a [Replacement Talisman Paper].

Soft to the bite.

It felt a bit like the flaky crust of a cake.

Then, a stream of warm liquid gushed out from the inside.

Like hot cocoa.

But even sweeter.

Molten chocolate lava cake!

Jason’s eyes gleamed as he started chewing eagerly.

Although Jason wished the flavor would linger longer, within just two or three bites, the food automatically slipped down into his stomach.

[Devour Replacement Talisman Paper]

[Physical Strength, Energy, and Injuries overwhelmingly restored!]

[Satiety +500]

[Satiety: 3421]

[Excitement of Feast +1]

[Excitement of Feast: 15]

...

"As expected!"

"Excitement of Feast isn’t limited to direct combat; it can be gained through other methods as well!"

Jason’s lips curled into a grin as he noted the increased value for Excitement of Feast.

The bet he made with Hanakaiin Itsuki wasn’t just about the food itself; it was also to test how Excitement of Feast could be obtained.

From the current results, apart from direct combat...

Situations adjacent to combat counted, too.

For instance: acquiring items during a fight.

Or perhaps, gambling.

"If that’s the case..."

Jason pondered deeply for a moment.

But soon, his thoughts shifted back.

Looking at his Satiety of 3421, he felt as though his talent was returning!

Faster than he had imagined!

Yet...

Should he first elevate [Battle Tattoo: Pruce Griffin Shadow-Stealth Body Forging Technique] to a Transcendent level?

Or should he first integrate [Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique] into [Battle Tattoo: Pruce Griffin Shadow-Stealth Body Forging Technique]?

Sitting on the couch, Jason contemplated for a while, eventually opting for the latter.

Based on his past experience, when his core secret technique merged with additional techniques, not only did the added techniques fully manifest their effects, but his core technique also received a significant enhancement.

Thus, integrating first before upgrading was the wisest choice.

However, one thing needed particular attention.

The stronger the integrated secret technique, the more talent it required.

Simply put, it demanded higher Satiety.

"With the attributes of the [Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique], integrating it into [Battle Tattoo: Pruce Griffin Shadow-Stealth Body Forging Technique] will undoubtedly require an enormous expenditure. Afterward, elevating [Battle Tattoo: Pruce Griffin Shadow-Stealth Body Forging Technique] will require even more accumulation. But compared to spending ’Excitement of Feast,’ it’s relatively nothing."

In the current dungeon world, while it had become much easier to gain Satiety, acquiring ’Excitement of Feast’ remained considerably challenging.

If not for running into the ’Sword Eater Group’ earlier, he wouldn’t have been able to save up this much ’Excitement of Feast’ at all.

Encountering the ’Sword Eater Group’ was purely luck.

A second time?

Jason didn’t dare hold his breath.

So, continuing to save up ’Excitement of Feast,’ using it to enhance [Evil-Slaying Slash], and showcasing talent through high Satiety as he integrated it into [Battle Tattoo: Pruce Griffin Shadow-Stealth Body Forging Technique], remained Jason’s ultimate plan.

Compared to before, nothing had really changed.

Only [Protection Against Evil] had been replaced by [Evil-Slaying Slash].

Standing up from the couch, Jason carefully put away his backpack and coat.

Once again, he used the [Kaya Seal] to cover the entire room, followed by activating the [Silence Technique].

As soon as he employed the latter, Jason immediately felt pleased with his decision.

Because just as he executed the [Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique]—

Roar!

A dragon’s roar reverberated directly within the ’silenced’ area.

Then, an illusory, faintly translucent dragon silhouette emerged from Jason’s chest, thin as an arm, coiling around his body as it rotated, imbuing him with a unique power.

Feeling the subtle shift in attributes, Jason began to adjust his breathing.

He initiated the integration with [Battle Tattoo: Pruce Griffin Shadow-Stealth Body Forging Technique].

Boom!

The moment the change commenced, Jason’s body immediately exploded.

Into fragmented pieces.

Blood sprayed, organs scattered.

The dragon silhouette shattered instantly.

Jason wasn’t surprised.

This always happened each time he progressed.

He understood it as part of the adaptation process for his body.

As long as he endured it, everything would fall into place.

Though the process was lengthy, gritting his teeth, enduring the pain, and toughing it out would get him through.

Thus, as his talent reactivated and he reappeared within the room, he began the second round.

Boom!

Just like the first time, no change whatsoever.

The third time, the fourth, the fifth... the tenth, the hundredth!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of bodies exploding continuously echoed within the room.
