CH.468 Lizard-folk
“Sir. I don’t want to sound rude, but why do you need to see this?” Chloe asked.
I had asked her to co to a training room to show a racial skill she has, so I can have a decent recording of it, because it might be sothing I can use for my own ‘new skill’ project.
“I just want data about it. You know that other than Albus, you are the only other lizard-kin on HoBase. … And since Albus is actually a lizard-folk, he has a different racial skill than you do.”
“... I just don’t see why it is so interesting. I an, it is nothing special really.” Chloe said.
“Just humor .”
Chloe then detached her arm from her body and showed the detached limb flying around the room.
That was her racial skill, Split Lizard. It allows her to detach her limbs from her body and telekinetically control them. The control isn’t actually even Telekinesis based, but instead so strange nerve link. And the limb can fly because … I honestly don’t know that part yet. Again, it isn’t Telekinesis, but sothing more akin to Mana Flight, but just on a smaller scale and at much lower speeds.

The skill might sound kind of useless, or like sothing that is very much situational, but at least Chloe can use it to reach the high shelves. … yeah, she isn’t the tallest lizard out there.
But why I’m interested in it is because despite her arm being detached from her body, it still counts as a physical part of her body. So if she were to punch soone with it while it is detached, it would do damage based on her Strength stat, not her Magic stat.
And that is sothing I want for my new skill. Telekinesis is great for utility, but not for doing damage. If I can materialize magical body parts, I should also be able to detach said body parts, and use them to attack from a distance. And if those attacks could do physical damage, that would be great.
I then had Chloe attack a few target dummies so I could get so damage readings, before I decided I had enough data for now. And if I’m wrong, I can always ask for her to show so more things, but I’ll likely have to prepare so more specific targets.
“Thanks. I think this is enough.” I said, and let Chloe get back to whatever Lawrence wanted her to do.
With the data now on hand, I jumped into the Factory to test so stuff out. After all, it is much easier here.
Replicating the racial skill wasn’t difficult, but it did feel strange as anything to detach my arm. I think that is because I ‘forced’ it using Factory bullshit, instead of actually correctly replicating the skill. Maybe I should try unlocking the lizard-kin race.
I quickly ran a test with DNA Surgery, declaring Reptile as the type, and I did transform into a lizard. … a lizard-folk, not a lizard-kin. And since lizard-folk co with the racial skill Hardened Scales, I’m kind of shit out of luck.
