Skin shards flew out from the storage and landed on the anvil for the hammer to strike.

'Wait a minute… Why is the Synchronization of that Wolfhead skin so high?'
Carter was sure that the wolfhead was the wolfman he fought. Usually a new skin would have a few percent at the beginning, not an entire 50% like that one.
'It's not bad actually. An actual 10-star. Let's try that out.'

Carter enlarged into the size of a one story building. He was still smaller than the Butcher from before.
He donned on the appearance of the wolfman from before with slight alterations. With the hunched back, long snouts and too many eyes on his head.
But with this appearance. He also got something else. Memories of the wolfman.
The vision of a feathered swordsman rushed at it and played with it like toys. He was fast. He was relentless. He was unstoppable.
But there was more. He saw many more memories and truly experienced the life of a Terror.
An ordinary human would have gone crazy from all of that. But he didn't. He just felt like he was watching a movie.
He was heartless because he's a True Psychopath.
Carter saw the moment the Wolfhead was born. He frowned.
"This is…"
There was a complex cave system deep within the ground. It was at least a few hundred kilometers deep. Terrors came from there. And Carter saw the beginning of everything.
He saw Wolfhead gain its first consciousness as it climbed out of a river of gold. This river flowed far and branched to all corners of this world.
'What is this place? What is that river?'
Too many questions with too little clues for answer. The Wolfhead had the memories. But it had no thought. It operated basically on instinct. Carter couldn't find out anything more from it.
'I will need to visit that place in the future.'
[TERROR BAT EQUIPPED]
Carter shrunk back down into a bat and flew away. The Wolfhead was too big and would attract too much attention.
He had more experiments he would like to conduct.
Carter flew around in the Terror Bat Skin. He noticed right away that the eyes of the Bat were much better than before. His Sonar Echolocation was also better and had a wider range.
'Hmm… The Skills might be of identical names but their actual properties are different. Terror Bat's Perception is much more focused on hearing while Terror Wolf's is vision and smell. My perception would become even greater if I acquired Sonar Echolocation.'
Carter intended to take Sonar Echolocation. He already had a Perception Skill and Living Sense, two intelligence gathering powers. Sonar Echolocation would compliment these two powers and make him even more powerful.
He made a mental note to do it later since there wasn't any dead body at the moment.
Carter found a cemetery. A different one, not the one from before. It was in a different city and located in a very secluded place.
There was no Peak Terror in this location, however.
Carter transformed into the Mutated Wolf.
[TERROR MUTATED WOLF EQUIPPED]
The Wolf began to dig up graves.
Skin System could transform corpses into skin shards. Carter had only one question.
'Can skeletons or other types of remains turned into Skin Shards?'
He had the idea awhile back when fighting the Butcher in the cemetery. Soon, he was able to dig up a grave.
[TERROR WITCH EQUIPPED]
Carter transformed into the Terror Witch and used his hands to tear the lid of the coffin apart.
A dusty skeleton lay inside.
'The moment of true…'
The Witch placed its hand on the skeleton.
A progress bar appeared on top of it.
'It does work!' The witch shared a crooked sinister smile. 'What will it be?'
[+1 Medium Human Skin (Mortal)]
The Witch covered her mouth and laughed manically. Then Carter covered his mouth.
'Ugh. I need to stop acting when no one's watching. I'm not crazy after all.'
Mortal Human Skin might seem unattractive at first. But Carter could fuse skin.
Last time, Terror Wolf transformed from a Minor Terror to a Medium Terror all because of Skin Fusion. Carter didn't know whether he could make it jump an entire rank. He didn't have enough skin to test.
But there were hundreds of graves here. It was more than enough for the actor to experiment.
The Witch cracked her neck and transformed back to the Mutated Wolf.
'I have a lot of graves to rob tonight!'
