He tightly clenched his fists together, causing his veins to pop out.
He endured the sleepy feeling.
His whole body started to quiver. It could be seen that he was trying extremely hard to stay in control.
As for Madam White who had become excited after seeing land, she was devoting all her attention and moved on to the final step, because for her, Allen would be safe in land and that monster won’t be able to chase him.
Thus, she definitely could not see Allen’s abnormality.
Allen felt as if he was under the sea!
Water all around, he almost felt he was drowning! He was a Lightning Human!
In the sea, he was a hammer!
He looked on terrified, and in the expanse of the seas which seemed endless, there were waves continually surging, as if there was a colossal beast hidden within, so colossal that it could fill the sea.
What’s going on?!
Then it changed.
Allen flew above the vast sky, the air seemed to shake.
His eyes widened when he looked down and saw his reflection on the water. Instead of his human appearance, there was a figure so gigantic it’s hard to believe.
This figure was coiled around and was also looking at him.
Looking at its shape, it looked like a snake, no, it should be… … a dragon?
When he realized that, the entire sea violently shook, and that huge figure within, slowly raised its head and looked at the shining moon and gave a cry of a dragon’s roar!
Then the image started to become blurry as it slowly faded.
When Allen opened his eyes, he was surprisingly already in the land. In front of him was Madam White looking at him, extremely worried.
“Master? She asked. Her voice soft as if she was afraid that her voice might hurt Allen.
“Where am I?”
“Master, we’ve finally reached the land…”
“Really?”
Ding! A prompt appeared on his vision.
[ Congratulations Allen Bando! You have successfully inherited the great Leviathan’s blood essence! ]
Ding!
[ When inheriting the [ Leviathan’s Blood Essence ], the system discovered that the host have the status of a [ Monster King ] while possessing the rare ability [ Skill replication ] which was evolved into [ Skill Robber ]! ]
[ [ Leviathan Physiology ] contained in [ Leviathan’s Blood Essence ] resonated with [ Monster King Physiology ] and [ Skill Robber ], acquiring the title [ Monster King of Envy ]! ]
Ding!

Prompt window after prompt window appeared on Allen’s vision causing him to become dizzy in confusion.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
What happened instantly shook him to the core. What the heck is this?!
He never expected that these things will happen just because of that blood essence.
[ Monster King of Envy ] although it sounds terrifying and eerie … still, it does sounds cool. Now he seems like a demon king…
Of course, he knows about titles. These things give extra skills and stats corresponding to the title.
In his previous world, he acquired titles such as;
[ Friends of Beasts and Monsters ] giving him great affinity to monsters and beasts.
[ Dragon Slayer ] which he attained from killing a dragon alone, giving him a dragon heart, improving his physique and a huge amount of mana.
[ Tyrant’s Decree ] acquired after almost destroying three huge countries in less than a month using over 100 monsters.
But titles are difficult to acquire and needed luck. You must also be the first to do these achievements and must do and acquire required things that fulfill it!
Allen thought about the title and a prompt carrying a description of it appeared.
[ [ Monster King of Envy ] Requirements: Bloodline which was an embodiment of envy. Monster King Status and lastly, one skill greatly related to it. ]
One of the infamous seven deadly sins! Envy!
Allen then turned into the new skills he acquired.
After acquiring skills, items, class or titles, one can see them anytime for a whole day and after that, without a status tablet, you can’t view them again and read the description.
[ [ Thunder Lagiacrus Form ] – The ability to transform into a Thunder Leviathan and use its abilities. ]
[ Water Manipulation ] – As the Sea Devil, the user has now able to manipulate water. The user can create, shape and manipulate water. ]
[ [ Envy Empowerment ] - The power to gain strength from the feeling of envy. If the host felt jealous to someone, it would temporarily increase the host strength, speed, and power. The stronger the jealousy the higher the increase in power. ]
[ [ Shapeshifter ] – The ability to transform into someone or something you felt envy for!
Limitation: You can’t shapeshift into someone or something you didn’t feel jealous of. ]
High-level skills one after another!!
Allen’s eyes lit up. [ Leviathan’s Blood Essence ] is really a lucky find!
What’s more, he wouldn’t drown in the sea anymore as long as he transformed into Leviathan!
That monster! I will certainly kill him and turn him into my undead! Allen vowed as killing intent flashed across his eyes.
Obviously, he wanted to rush back and kill it now but he stopped himself. Now is not the time.
To kill it certainly and without problem or casualties, Allen at least needs to become Hero level and gained his other skills.
With that, he can toy with that monster as long as he wants!

In another part of the world…
“I heard Allen’s having a blast in some country~” Flor muttered as she surveyed the entire area. “Even being called the Thunder Emperor; Ye Wushuang… really, what is that guy doing all this time?”
It was hot and the place was filled with nothing but sand.
This place is what they call a desert.
‘He can do what he wants. Even if he scourged the entire world, I will let it be…’ A voice answered.
She was the only one who could hear this voice.
She still doesn’t know the identity of the owner of this voice but she was certain that the owner was from another unknown world and was greatly related to that mysterious human youth she can’t help but admired; Allen Bando.
At first, she was suspicious and always on her guard at this unknown entity but after a long time had passed, her guards gradually relaxed. It didn’t anything to her and instead sometimes helped her when she needed it.
Besides, it could be said that this entity she can’t describe was one of the reasons she managed to become a Lv4 Superhuman in a very short time.
Now, other than Mia and Lieri, she was already way above other people. As for Aileen, she was still a Lv3 – though she was certain that she would level up not long after… Alicia, on the other hand, was still Lv2.
“Aren’t you spoiling him a bit too much?” Flor can’t help but ask.
This unknown entity for some unknown reason spoiled Allen too much and treated him as her own. It’s like, whatever Allen did was extremely lovable and admirable… he was always right and amazing. It came to the point that Flor thought that this entity might actually be Allen’s fanatic, one of those types called ‘Have eyes but blind’ fans…
“I heard some of his past, especially about his ridiculous love history from another world…”
‘A human’s love can’t be compared to mine.’
“The problem is,” Flor chided with a mischievous smile. “Most of them aren’t human…”
‘… …’
“You’re not going to do anything?”
‘Believe me, I wanted to destroy that world, freeze everything and take him back with me, either by force or not…’
“… …”
‘Sadly, I can’t move right now.’ Flor seems to hear the entity sigh in sorrow. ‘Besides, there’s the law. A being like me is forbidden to do anything physically that affect the world of mortals directly unless it’s deemed necessary. ‘We’ are powerless in the Mortal World, that is the law the Heaven put up.’
“The Heaven?”
‘No one can violate Heaven’s law… even ‘us’’ The entity said with a voice filled with sadness. ‘Anyway, it’s not like this is a bad thing. I had some use for all of you. I just hope that you will do what I expected you to do when the time comes, or else, all my effort up until now will be gone in vain.’
Flor frowned upon hearing the entity. She felt a great foreboding from her words….
“What do you mean?” She asked. Her voice somewhat cold and icy. “Even if you did help me a lot but know that I won’t just do anything for you! I’m not your slave or toy!”
‘Don’t worry it’s not for me… in fact, it could be said to be all for your world’s sake…’
“What do you mean?”
‘Enough talking, you have company…’
As soon as the entity said that, a ferocious roar sounded out.
The noise was horrible it woke every people in the area.
Not far away from Flor and her group was a huge group of giant scary looking Scorpions and ferocious looking monster beasts.
“CALL THE PRINCESS NOW!!” Flor yelled out to a man not far away from her position. “Monsters incoming!”
Taking her black sword from its scabbard, a crazy expression replaced her usual indifference. The black sword seemed to shine as killing intent covered the entire area.
“It’s showtime!” In the girl’s face was a smile filled with nothing but insanity.

The Demon Leviathan is very high in Hell's hierarchy and said one of the four demons obedient to Lucifer.
