Chapter 13: The evolution pt2
Dan could feel himself get very dizzy. He knew once he passed out that was the end…
I need to brace myself…
Dan's vision was now getting kind of blurry. He could see Ryan before him… the golden aura emitted by him got only stronger every moment that passed.
As if the heavens had answered Dan's prayers, they heard some voices approaching. Dan heart rate started slowing down… as he was sure he was going to be saved now.
But all his hope was dashed away. Ryan released a kind of force field from his body. It started until it covered the whole field with Dan in it.
So, when the other students entered the field, they didn't seem to see anything was amiss neither did they notice the person on the field that was ablaze.
At this point Dan knew all hope of escaping has been dashed, as the student just got into the field and then later left.
Dan knew he was at a disadvantage... not only that but he was also bleeding… The possibility that he gets out of this alive was actually slim and it got slimmer a very second, he was trapped with Ryan.
Ding!!!
Quest: survive the encounter with the mysterious entity.
Reward: 15 divine embers.
As he saw his screen Dan chuckled. Blood dripped from his lips down to his shirt.
Is there any use?
But the words had not left his mouth completely when he received another barrage of attacks from Ryan.
Dan could feel the light being knocked out of him. As with every punch landed, he felt a burning sensation.
And just when all hope seemed to be lost….
The system sent him a new notification….
Does the host want to perform a divine sacrifice?
Dan was confused what that meant….
But for the system to bring it out at this point that means… it was a way for him to escape this…
Dan wanted to hesitate but as Ryan landed a punch on his groin…
He didn't need to think twice anymore… He immediately accepted the systems offer…
He waited for something to happened but nothing did…
Wait what? Dan said
But then he noticed Ryan did not attack anymore but instead he kind of moved away from Dan.
And then it came….
BOOM!!!
An excruciating pain had hit him from within…. He felt like something was being sucked out of him….and it was leaving at a rapid pace…. Never slowing down for even a moment…
There it was….
His life essence…..
It now reduced at a very fast pace…
From 98% it had now dropped to 95%...
Dan Had expected it to stop there but he instead it increased its pace….
Before it finally stopped at 89%...
Forced evolution in process….
Immediately Dan felt a burning sensation all over his body… it was like his body was peeled off by the burn….
And then it stopped….
It was now followed by a kind of a cooling sensation….
It felt like he had been placed in a pool….
And now instead of the energy rushing out of his body…. Instead, it reverted and started back into him… He could feel his energy feeling up at a faster pace….
He felt he could perform feats he couldn't do before…
The system screen then popped in front of him again…
But this time it brought some things that were different….
Name: Dan Othniel
Title: The Goddess Chosen
Level 1: 5/30 (use divine embers?)
Tail Level: 1/9
Dan had unlocked a new level now…. It bought with it additional stat to all of Dan's stat… Adding +5 to all of it…
Dans current stat was now…
[Attributes]
- Strength: 21
- Speed: 20
- Agility: 24
- Intelligence: 19
- Spirit: 23
But not only had he unlocked a level… he had also unlocked a tail… and the new tail awarded a him a gift too… it gave him a divine skill.
Divine skill unlocked
Ninefold claw [basic +5 to strength]
As Dan saw that…. He knew what that meant…. His strength might now be able to rival Ryan.
There was something else too that felt off… It felt weird… it was like a part of him. As he turned back there it was….
It was a white furry tail… that was wagging up and down… It was completely white with no spots or colors…
And his ears too…
they felt kind of weird…
as he put his hands on it… they felt pointed…
His senses now felt as if they were on some kind of adrenaline. The slightest of movements attracted his attention….
His vision seemed a lot clearer… When he looked at Ryan, he felt could see his motions much clearly now…
"Seems you finally let your powers out then" Ryan said…
Ryan then took a step forward toward Dan. Ryan then disappeared just like before but this time Dan was well prepared. Dan followed his senses and knew where the attack was to come from.
He immediately side stepped to his right just in time to evade Ryan's attack that was aimed at his stomach. Dan knew he was stronger now but he couldn't take the chances of breaking his hands again and run the risk of using his life essence to heal himself.
And so, he activated his new skill, the ninefold claw… His hands began to grow, they were now covered with a white fur…. His hand turned into paws with long large claws on them… They also had a faint kind of glow on them…
This boosted his strength stat to 26… He didn't know if this would be enough to hurt Ryan and cause him to stop attacking him…
Ryan's barrage of attacks never stopped they just kept on coming… but with Dan's reflexes he was able to move out of the way and dodge them before they made any significant impact on him…
With his reflexes Dan was able to create some distance between him Ryan and himself… With his Spirit sight… Dan was able to see the flow of Ryan's energy…
As Ryan bolted towards him…. Within split seconds of impact…Dan immediately ducked…
Ryan's punch missed and instead Ryan was met with Dan's ninefold claw… The claw landed right within Ryan chest… It immediately sent a kind of shock wave round Ryan's body….
It made Ryan to stagger back… and from Ryan's lips tiny spots of blood could be seen…
"Flames of Kagutsuchi" Ryan whispered…..
