(Granular Solidification):

Allows the user to control dust at a higher level within a range of 50 meters, also greatly enhancing senses within that range.

The user can now forge large-scale dust constructs—serpents, claws, shields, or limbs—that move like extensions of their own body.

These constructs can shift forms mid-action, turning into spikes, chains, or walls instantly. The user can also create dust puppets—rough humanoid figures controlled directly by thought—used for offense, defence or distraction.

Overall range, shaping speed, and durability are vastly improved, with multiple constructs active at once.

Stamina Recovery Boost: Greatly increases stamina regeneration, recovering stamina three times faster than normal.

Battle Tenacity: Reduces stamina and mana usage during combat. Increases resistance to pain and fatigue the longer the battle lasts.

Tranquil Mind: Induces a state of perfect mental clarity, calming chaotic thoughts and suppressing fear, pain, or distraction. Greatly accelerates mental recovery, removing exhaustion and even the need for sleep for extended periods.

Death Aura: Emits a faint aura of killing intent when activated, gradually weakening nearby enemies by draining their stamina and focus. Stronger foes are worn down over time, while weaker ones may falter under the pressure of fear.

Vritra chewed on the piece of juicy and tough meat of a demon, a drop of green blood sliding down his chin as he focused over different sections of his status.

He had collected quite a lot of corpses, they were his emergency ration; he had noticed that after his initial disgust vanished, the more of the meat he ate, the more his hunger grew—twisting into a craving that demanded even more before he could finally feel satisfied.

The bloodied meat was satiating his hunger and the blood was quenching his thirst, so he had been able to go for an entire month without any rest at all; also because of the help of several passive skills he received from Mutamorphic skill.

Later he received another passive skill, Battle Tenacity, which reduced his mana and stamina consumption by more than half coupled with the mana and stamina boosts he received; he didn't feel exhausted even for a moment.

He was also quite satisfied with his level and stat, the strongest goblin that he faced were at most of level 30 or 31; and he noticed that it became increasingly difficult to level up as his level became higher but that also meant the power difference between each level also became significant.

Dust Manipulation also levelled up just on the 28th day, and now it had become a whole lot stronger yet there was so much space for growth, this skill unlike what other believed was quite broken.

Vritra also noticed that something strange had happened to the species section probably since he had been eating demon flesh and drinking demon blood constantly, but he wasn't concerned about that not that he has a choice.

Just as he finished eating the fresh meat of a goblin Knight, Vritra noticed that it was almost time for the first month to end he jumped off the corpse mountain and walked forward while using dust whips to kill all the goblins without much effort, he was much stronger than any of them.

"These goblins have dropped quite a lot of weapons, I don't even know how many I have killed; but the number should be very large. Let's see what they are going to throw at me next…" Vritra mumbled as more messages popped in front of him.

Before he could even see the changes, another message popped in front of his eyes.

"Sigh I wonder what is coming this time now." Vritra yawned as he jumped off the corpse mountain, despite the usage of 'Tranquil Mind' he still felt a little exhausted after not sleeping or even taking a proper rest in the last one month.

Soon the goblins that were not dead and were charging towards Vritra were pushed back until they disappeared completely from sight then the ground began to rumble, the walls shook as a distant guttural roar resounded.

The changes were much more significant than the last time, just the roar alone made his ear hurt.

"It seems something big is coming…" Vritra mumbled as two long swords made of hardened dust particles appeared in his hand, turning very sharp and durable.

Finally, he saw it. Creatures several times bigger than the goblins were rushing forward madly, carrying large hammers, axes and even stones; there were countless of them, the sight alone could dread in the heart of most.

They were towering brutes with thick green skin and bulging muscles, their faces were twisted with tusks jutting from their snarling mouths. Large pieces of ragged clothes barely covered their scarred body. Their eyes glowed with a maddening glint, and they gripped ominous looking weapons in their hands.

"Oh, such a strong demon right from the start, looks like I will be grinding like crazy again." Vritra spoke as he activated all his and dashed straight into the endless swarm of Orcs, the sickening looking creature who bulging bodies.

Instantly Vritra's body flashed and appeared several meters away from his original position as he plunged the long sword into the belly of an Orc before slicing upwards as it was torn into two; just then a tingly sensation ran across his body, telling him about the threat.

He used quick step once again to barely dodge the deadly strike from behind, a large storm of dust suddenly formed around him engulfing more than fifty orcs, blades made of dust began to swing around dangerous, while large spiders and puppets formed around Vritra not to kill but to defend and distract.

Since the current orcs were mostly at lower level than Vritra so the deathly aura that emanated out from his body froze them instantly, letting Vritra cut through them without any efforts, message after message appeared in front of Vritra, but he didn't stop for a moment as he relished in the feeling of tearing apart the giant demons.

The dust swords were instantly painted by their blood, heads of the orcs rolled as Vritra killed a least of couple of them with a single swing of his swords.

There was now an advantage, since the bodies of the orcs were large it was relatively slower so the number of attacks that landed on his body reduced but the ones that landed were much more deadly than the ones that goblins delivered.

BANG 

SWOOSH

Internal organs splattered as the swords cut open the bellies of two orcs, but he was suddenly struck by the hammer like weapon of an orc as his shoulder almost shattered.

Vritra was only pushed a step back, without waiting he lunged forward and began grinding for exp.

As the fighting continued, whenever he felt hungry Vritra would allow his dust army to engage for a while as he either ate the flesh of the goblins or picked fresh meat of the orcs, eating it up raw he had already gotten used to it; although their blood couldn't completely replace water but it was doing the job for now.

[You have consumed demon flesh.]

[Demonic energy detected.]

[Absorption initiated…]

[1%]

…

[100%]

[Absorption complete!!]

Such messages appeared whenever he consumed the demonic meat or blood, but he couldn't care less about it; all that mattered was that it was helping him survive for now, the only problem now was the lack of sleep even with tranquil mind.

As days passed, Vritra's levelling up speed increased once again as he faced stronger Orcs, he still got injured several times even with danger sense and all his other abilities but none of it was life threatening, he slaughtered one Orc after another, using whatever weapon he found lying around.

With each passing day, the floor was covered by the red blood of the orcs and the path was lithered by their corpses, lying in pieces.

Days were filled with nothing but massacre; Vritra killed all the demons as if slaughtering them was the only reason of his life, he faced Orc demons from level 30 to level 60 and his level soared with each kill.
