Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

When the eerie silence finally ended, a large horde of monsters and demonic beasts of varying races, drawn by the overwhelming scent of blood and the tantalizing aroma of sweet-smelling flesh, stormed out of the dense forest chaotically. Their actions were akin to a mad, hungry beast being fed its favorite meal, eyes gleaming with savage anticipation.

After the first row of monsters and demonic beasts emerged from the shadowy forest, they spotted the large group of live meat standing far away and, without hesitation, immediately stormed towards them, letting out ear-piercing screeches and terrifying bestial cries.

Rowan and the soldiers were standing far away from the forest entrance, their eyes fixed on the approaching horde, giving them the chance to observe what they would be fighting.

Rowan quickly observed the stats of the monsters and demonic beasts with his [Eyes of Revelation], his gaze narrowing as the information unfolded before him.

[ Emberclaw | FF-rank ] [ Special skill: Monster Cry ] [ Health: 100% ] [ Status: Hungry ]

[ Demonic Chicken | FF-rank ] [ Special skill: Crow of Fear ] [ Health: 100% ] [ Status: Enraged ]

[ Goblin | FF-rank ] [ Special skill: Night Vision ] [ Health: 100% ] [ Status: Ecstatic ]

Luckily, most of them were FF-rank beasts, posing less of a threat than higher-ranked creatures.

'This is great!' Rowan noted with a smirk on his face.

As the monsters drew closer, he immediately sprang into action.

The soldiers behind him were already prepared to attack the monsters in front of them.

They had grown used to seeing these monsters. Now they didn't get scared and felt the need to run away. Instead, they felt the strong urge to fight and emerge victorious.

"Archers! Aim!"

Rowan lifted his right hand and announced in a loud voice.

The archers let out loud hums of acknowledgment and aimed their arrows at the emerging monsters.

Rowan paused for a few seconds, allowing the monsters and demonic beasts to draw closer, before yelling, "Fire!"

Following his commands, arrows darted through the air, their sharp tips glinting in the sunlight.

Very soon, the air was filled with arrows darting towards the monsters.

The first set of arrows clashed with the monsters, piercing flesh and bone, inflicting really serious injuries that caused most of the monsters to fall to the ground at once. Some of them, however, were strong and continued charging hungrily, their eyes filled with rage, despite the injuries they had just incurred.

"Swordsmen, martial artists! Now it is your turn to show these monsters what you are made of!" Rowan yelled again.

The close-ranged fighters immediately stormed the monsters.

The swordsmen ran in front, wielding their swords with all seriousness and readiness to cut through the group of monsters.

The martial artists clenched their fists and ran beside the swordsmen.

The swordsmen were the first to clash against the horde.

The blades of their swords darted through the air with precision and grace, inflicting injury after injury on the monsters.

Rowan did not stay back.

"Blaze, do not directly attack any of the monsters unless any of the soldiers are in danger," Rowan instructed Blaze.

He and Blaze could wipe out all these monsters in a matter of minutes. But today, they weren't trying to wipe them out but to utilize them to make the soldiers grow stronger.

At the front line, Roland attacked an Emberclaw.

The Emberclaw had a huge resemblance to wild wolves. However, unlike wild wolves who came in white, grey, and black, these ones were extremely red, like they had been dyed in blood!

Their eyes were blue, unlike the red ones of the other demonic wolves present on the battlefield at the moment.

The Emberclaw also had sharp and long claws that glistened menacingly as the sun shone on them.

Roland's eyes were extremely cold as he lifted his sword and blocked against the dangerously darting claws of the Emberclaw.

He felt a strong vibration in his arm after the short collision. It was as though the claws were made of strong metal!

GROWL!

The Emberclaw growled angrily and slashed its claws at Roland once again.

This time Roland did not bother to block and quickly evaded by moving to the side.

As he moved to the side, one of the goblins, with a malicious grin, sneaked a quick attack on his back with its crude wooden claw. The sneaky hit made Roland lose his footing and fall to the ground, the rough earth scraping against his skin.

The Emberclaw, who was already enraged at Roland, immediately took the opportunity to attack. Both the goblin and the Emberclaw focused on him.

"Captain! Let me assist you!"

Two young soldiers who had just concluded dealing with a flaming arrow-tailed lion nearby came to assist Roland.

They immediately pushed the goblin back and stabbed it with their swords.

The Emberclaw's paws were already up, ready to swipe down and kill Roland with its sharp claws before devouring him.

Roland quickly rolled over to where the goblin had been standing a few seconds ago, barely evading the claw attack.

The two soldiers quickly assisted and fought off the Emberclaw.

Roland stood up and went to complete the kill.

Around these three, several bloody brawls were taking place, more brutal than theirs.

Fortunately, the losses were mostly on the monsters' and demonic beasts' side.

Unfortunately too, more demonic beasts and monsters were still pouring out of the forest, as the meat still attracted them. Each of them left the might just like the others and attacked the soldiers.

"Test my fist, you ugly goblin!"

Bryce yelled out angrily as he sent his clenched fist flying towards the face of a nearby goblin.

PUSHI!

The head exploded from his punch, brain fluid and blood gushed as the goblin fell to the ground.

"This is so good! I'll name this technique Exploding Head Raging Fist! Hahaha!" Bryce laughed out menacingly as he did the same to another nearby goblin.

GROWL

One of the demonic wolves growled and charged towards Bryce.

Bryce stood his ground and focused on the beast. He was standing in a pose mostly seen in professional wrestling.

"Come to me, idiot!" Bryce called out, enraging the wolf even more.

When the wolf was close enough, Bryce's hands shot forward in a rapid motion and quickly wrapped around the wolf's neck.

Without wasting time, he lifted the wolf's body and slammed it hard on the ground, causing it to cry out in deep anguish, alerting its nearby brothers.

Bryce stood up immediately and used his feet to stomp the head of the wolf till it died.

He laughed menacingly while doing so.

The demonic wolves and goblins nearby couldn't help but see him as a fellow monster at this moment.

Rowan and Blaze were strolling through the battlefield, and they couldn't help but notice this peculiar moment.

"I wasn't wrong at all choosing him as my captain," Rowan smiled when he saw Bryce's battle prowess.

Aside from the frequent notifications of the soldiers slaying the enemies around them, accumulating evolution points and getting closer to their first power evolution, seeing their exceptional performance made Rowan happy.

It gave him the impression that his investments in them weren't futile.

"You are doing a good job, everyone! Continue slaying these evil beasts!" Rowan declared in a loud voice, motivating his soldiers.
