A New Profession! Gold Has Begun to Flow! (Monthly Votes, Please)

Evan pinched Parker's bushy beard and peered past his yellowed teeth at the silk-producing gland in his mouth.

"The mutation has been relatively positive. There's been no sign of severe loss of control."

By now, Evan was an experienced Demon Hunter with a considerable store of knowledge.

After seeing the Burrowing Worm's experimental records, he had become nearly certain of what had happened.

Parker had apparently been implanted with fragments of Beyonder Characteristics, turning him into a special kind of modified being.

Such a person could not enter a normal Profession, but could wield abilities ordinary people lacked.

In essence, he was like those beasts created with Magic Potions, though he was still in the first stage.

In the Burrowing Worm's experiments, Parker's current condition was only stage one.

After the mutation was complete, the Burrowing Worm would stitch Monster limbs onto the subjects to amplify the Bestiality in the Magic Potion.

Evan pinched the black thread. "Quite tough. It has a faint Beyonder Characteristic, much like ordinary spider silk."

"It looks like the source of this batch of experiments is connected to the Burrowing Worm too."

Evan still vividly remembered the poor old woman and her grandson.

The Burrowing Worm had turned the grandson into a rat. After mutating, the old woman had resembled a spider.

With a flick of his cane, Evan severed the silk at Parker's mouth.

He gripped it at both ends, Copperized his right fist, and struck it with all his strength.

To his surprise, even with his current Physique, he failed to break the silk.

"Interesting!"

Evan then Copperized his hand and chopped down with its edge, cutting through it with ease.

"Much like ordinary spider silk. It can withstand a great deal of blunt force, but offers little resistance to a sharp blade."
