Chapter Summaries

The Blood-Robed Evil Spirit tore into the flesh monster, but the monster kept prioritizing Lynn and pursued him with its gaze curse. Lynn stopped running and drew his Witcher Revolver as a tide of eyeballs rushed toward him.

• The Blood-Robed Evil Spirit appeared in a flash and shredded the flesh monster while Lynn enthusiastically praised her and gained her affection.
• The monster grew an armored exoskeleton, targeted Lynn with its gaze curse, and forced him to flee with the Cute Baby.
• The Blood-Robed Evil Spirit blocked the curse and grappled with the monster, but it kept chasing Lynn and split its pupil into countless pursuing eyeballs.
• Lynn turned to face the incoming eyeballs, aimed his Witcher Revolver, and pulled the trigger.

Lynn fought through the eyeball tide while the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit attacked the monster’s core. The monster adapted to her abilities, turned her tentacles against her, and began assimilating her as the crisis level climbed.

• Lynn drank a Flesh Regeneration Potion, grew more tentacles, and attacked the eyeballs with his gun and knife while Cute Baby joined the fight.
• Lynn cleared the eyeball tide as the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit pinned down the monster and reached for its core.
• The monster analyzed the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit and countered her, trapping her tentacles in a net of hands and devouring her from within.

• Lynn rushed to help, but a giant tentacle made from tissue co-constructed by the monster blocked his path as the crisis level rose to 87%.

Lynn summoned Little Darling from the cellar and rushed back to help Blood-Robed Evil Spirit fight the monster. When Little Darling tried to flee from the monster’s tentacles, Lynn promised it three months of high-quality potions to make it turn back.

• Little Darling carried Lynn back to the battlefield, where the monster’s tentacles turned toward them.
• Little Darling tried to flee, so Lynn offered it three months of high-quality potions to make it rescue his friend.

Lynn tried to pull the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit out of the monster’s cocoon, but the monster’s countermeasures caught him at the last moment. Trapped and badly crushed, Lynn’s body began mutating uncontrollably after all his Flesh Regeneration Potion bottles broke.

• Lynn and Cute Baby charged through the monster’s tentacles, with Cute Baby dissolving them with her tongue.
• Lynn entered the cocoon in his phantom form and used the Flesh Regeneration Potion to restore the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit.
• Lynn bound the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit with Vengeful Spirit Hair, and Cute Baby pulled her out during the monster’s target-switching delay.
• The monster activated its countermeasures, snapped the Vengeful Spirit Hair, and trapped Lynn inside the cocoon.
• Lynn crushed his remaining Flesh Regeneration Potion bottles and underwent a series of rapidly escalating mutations.

Lynn’s mutation spiraled out of control inside the Flesh Puppet, spawning monstrous copies of his face and overwhelming the creature’s defenses. The Blood-Robed Evil Spirit lost sight of him as an unknown, hostile mutant emerged and began devouring the organism.

• The Flesh Puppet’s analysis systems repeatedly failed as Lynn’s mutation rapidly changed.
• Little Darling and the recovering Blood-Robed Evil Spirit sensed Lynn’s presence inside the twisting monster.

• More mutants erupted from the Flesh Puppet and attacked it as the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit used Evil Spirit Vision to search for Lynn.
• The Flesh Puppet tried to crush and burn away the mutation, but an unknown mutant emerged, defeated its countermeasures, and began consuming it.

The Blood-Robed Evil Spirit watched the Flesh Puppet collapse after something inside it devoured its tissues, then found Lynn unharmed within its hollow shell. In the Dark World, the Demon Association lost contact with its Type 3 Puppet and sent forces to investigate.

• The Blood-Robed Evil Spirit saw the monster’s growths, arms, tentacle, and embryos dragged inside and consumed as its body failed.
• The Blood-Robed Evil Spirit realized the Flesh Puppet had died and discovered it had been hollowed out from within.
• The Demon Association’s Type 3 Puppet lost connection, and its destruction caused an explosion that wrecked the control base.
• The voice in the container ordered the Predator Column and a No. 4 Type 3 Puppet to investigate the lost connection’s coordinates.
• The Blood-Robed Evil Spirit pulled Lynn unharmed from the empty shell and carried him away, while a tongue briefly emerged from his Left Hand.

After waking unharmed in the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit’s room, Lynn learned that his mutations had destroyed the Flesh Puppet from within. The system revealed that his body had fused with the puppet’s flesh and given him half a day to find and control the mutation, so Lynn took the puppet’s remains to investigate.

• Lynn woke in the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit’s room and discovered that his body looked unharmed.
• The Blood-Robed Evil Spirit told Lynn that malignant growths had burst from inside the Flesh Puppet and torn it apart.
• Lynn examined the puppet’s ruined shell and checked his status, which identified him as a mutant.
• The system gave Lynn the Bodily Reaction quest, warning that an uncontrolled mutation would replace him within half a day.
• Lynn grabbed the Flesh Puppet’s remains and hurried off to refine medicine and investigate.

After discovering a dangerous mutation inside his body, Lynn searched his master’s Library for answers and realized he had gained an ability to control his flesh. He tried to force the mutation out by poisoning himself and brewing increasingly dangerous potions, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• Lynn returned to his Potion Shop with a heap of flesh and blood, lit the Soul Lamp, and hurried into the basement Library to research his mutation.
• After an hour of searching, Lynn concluded the mutation was dormant, powerful, and possibly self-willed, and noticed that the system had granted him the special ability Flesh Catastrophe.
• Lynn tested Flesh Catastrophe and found that he could freely reorganize his own flesh.
• Suspecting the monster’s flesh remained hidden inside his body and could be affected by his actions, Lynn drank Dichlorvos to try to drive out the mutation.
• Lynn gulped down expired potions, suffered several abnormal buffs, and brewed Foul Plague Potion, Severe Exhaustion Potion, and Malignant Virus Potion.

Lynn repeatedly poisoned himself to test his limits, ignoring his worsening condition until his left hand intervened to save itself with antidotes. The chapter ended with the terrified hand trying to stop him as Lynn crawled toward another bottle of poison.

• Lynn brewed numerous dangerous potions, then tested them by alternating poisons with Recovery Potions and Antidote Potions.
• Lynn endured increasingly severe symptoms through three rounds of twenty minutes and continued drinking poison despite his shaking, discolored body.
• Lynn's left hand began foaming and twitching, while system prompts reported that an unknown entity's fear of him was rising.
• As Lynn crawled toward pesticide, his left hand drank an antidote, then hurried to finish the bottle when it saw Lynn drinking pesticide too.
• After recovering, the left hand saw Lynn crawling toward yet another poison and grabbed a pillar, screaming in desperation.

Lynn survived a massive dose of agricultural chemicals and gained poison-related achievements, but discovered that his Left Hand had mutated into a powerful, hostile entity. The chapter ended with Lynn struggling to hold the hand back and using Flesh Cataclysm to restrain it.

• Lynn fought back and activated Flesh Cataclysm, curbing Left Hand's attack as the two struggled against each other.

Lynn fought his mutated Left Hand through the house, then tried to subdue it with pesticide. The poison affected them both, leaving them retching together and agreeing to a temporary truce.

• Lynn and his Left Hand fought with blades from the operating room through the house, increasing Lynn’s combat proficiency.
• After their weapons flew away, the Left Hand engulfed Lynn’s head, but Lynn held its jaws open and spotted his pesticide bottle.
• Lynn pinned the Left Hand and used a tiny hand from Flesh Cataclysm to open the bottle, then poured the pesticide into its mouth.
• The pesticide triggered severe poisoning in Lynn as well, and both he and the Left Hand collapsed and vomited into the cellar.
• After more than ten minutes of retching, Lynn and the Left Hand agreed to a temporary truce before resuming their threats to kill each other.

Lynn tried to welcome the Goat-Headed Monster to his potion shop while continuing to fight Left Hand inside their shared body. The terrified customer hesitated over whether to stay for treatment as Lynn's cheerful manner clashed with his violent sword fight.

• Lynn and Left Hand briefly agreed to live in peace before immediately resuming their sword fight.

• The Goat-Headed Monster asked whether he could leave, while Lynn smiled and continued fighting Left Hand more fiercely.

• The Goat-Headed Monster grew terrified as Lynn fought Left Hand and tried to sneak out of the shop, but Lynn stopped him and made him stay for an examination.

• Lynn said the poison would not occur anywhere else, leaving the Goat-Headed Monster frozen and suspicious.

Lynn collected the Goat-Headed Monster’s bill with fragments linked to the Demon Association, then negotiated a temporary truce with Left Hand. They agreed to cooperate for two days against an expected attack from the association.
