67 Evolution Stage 2 (1/2)
Moby only needed 8000 XP until his evolution, which is most likely only a few kills away.
He should be able to evolve during this night time hunting session.
He has been really excited about this moment for a very long time.
It felt weird for him, the master of the household, to actually be the weakest one.
He felt like his powers were lacking compared to his servants and he hopes that evolution will bring them to their level or even higher.
He decided to not go too far away from the team's current hideout as he is still supposed to be on watch duty. He needs to ensure that no beasts come near the base and if someone wakes up and sees that he is not there, that he would show up later and tell them that he was just taking a walk or something along those lines.
On his way, he found many different types of beast ranging from lizards and giant frogs in the swampy areas to giant birds soaring through the sky.
Sadly, when Moby inspected them, he found out that they were all F rank to low D rank which would barely give him any XP at all.
After nearly an hour of searching, he finally came across something interesting.
A pack of 5 black and green wolves, roaming around and looking for prey, in a small clearing in the forest. They had black fur with streaks of light green lines on them. Their eyes shined a small glow of green and they were around the same size as an actual wolf from earth.
When Moby used his inspect skill, he noticed that their power levels ranged from 5000 to 6200, around high D rank to low C rank.

Usually, Moby would not choose to engage such a large group of strong enemies like this pack of wolves as they can most likely overwhelm him due to his lack of area of effect skills. However, this time was an exception.
'Lupus Toxicus, I am pretty sure that translates to the toxic wolf. If that is true then that means that these wolves use toxic power or another way to put it, poison, as their main way of attack!'
'This means that all their toxic-based attacks will be completely useless against me and they would lose out on most of their attack potency.'
'This is just free XP at this point!' Moby thought with a smile, jumping off the tree, hiding behind it, trying his best to find an opportunity to make a stealth attack on one of the wolves.
'Either these wolves have a really strong mental resistance or ”Lesser Mind Control” doesn't work on magical beasts,' Moby thought.
Moby just had to improvise and find another opening or strategy for distraction.
Then, he came up with a genius idea.
Using his ”Devil's Hand” he grabbed hold of one of the wolve's necks and squeezed it as hard as he could.
Although the attack was really weak and caused virtually no harm to the wolf, it still greatly scared and startled it, making it run around in distress and calling out in panic.
This made the other wolves really confused which made them let their guards down.
Moby then used this opportunity to reveal himself from behind the tree, activating his ”Eyes Of Sin” and performing a 3 demon flash combo to quickly and stealthily take out one of the wolves by using ”Demon slash” on their neck.
[ +1000 XP]
'1000 XP per kill? That's pretty good!' Moby thought.
As soon as the wolves saw the headless body of their fellow pack member, They all let out a loud howl that rang throughout most of the forest. Then they fixed their gaze on Moby with what looked like immense rage, growling, showing their green sharp teeth and long green claws.
Then, all at once, they let out a green toxic gas from their mouths and aimed it at Moby. Although the toxic gas was slow, it was very wide and dynamic, covering most of the area around.
Any plant, insect, or living creatures, that the toxic breath touched immediately either rotted or disintegrated.
Everything except Moby who was walking through the toxic breath like it was not even there.
'Damn, these wolves really need to brush their teeth! Their breath stinks!' Moby thought with a chuckle, slowly walking towards the 4 remaining wolves.
At first, the wolves became really confused about why their breath is having no effect, so they decided to even further increase the potency and strength of their attack.
However, all their efforts were futile which they soon realized.
With every step that Moby took, the wolves' fear would intensify, their angry eyes turning more and more fearful, their claws retracting as their legs shaking more and more.
'It seems that even magical beasts know fear. Good to know!” Moby thought when he was now only a few steps away from the wolves.
The Wolves hung on to their last sliver of hope as they continued to breathe toxic breath at the still advancing Moby when they noticed a sudden flash of light. The head of one of their other pack members was cleanly sliced off and rolling on the ground in front of them. They looked at the severed head in fear then back at the unknown man with purple glowing eyes right in front of them in horror. They had never experienced such a thing in their lives. No other beast they had faced was ever able to withstand such a high concentration of toxic breath. Not even their own species were completely immune.
The 3 remaining wolves tried their best to make an escape, each running into the forest in their own direction.
However, Moby was not going to let them go that easily. He used his ”devil's hand” to ensnare the running wolves before flashing straight to them and delivering the final blow.
After a few gusts of wind and sudden flashes, one of the wolves noticed it's 2 dead teammates. It let out a loud cry before it too felt a tug on its legs. Then, suddenly, the wolf felt no more feeling in its neck, its head immaculately sliced off.
'I now only have 78/183 demon energy left. I used a lot of demon slashes, flashes, along with a little of my devil's hand to defeat them.'
'Hah, that was easier than I expected, if they had actually ganged up on me I would have been in much more trouble. I guess they were too frightened to even think straight,'
'Well, that was the easiest 5000 XP of my life. I only need 3000 more XP for my evolution. I guess it's time to search for more beasts…' Moby thought, stretching his arms and neck.
As Moby was about to store the bodies of the wolves before leaving the area, he heard a loud, piercing, roar coming from deeper in the forest.
Then, before he got the chance to collect the bodies, he noticed a large wolf-like beast over 4 meters in height, stomping on its hind legs like a human, walking out of the forest and in the small clearing. It had a very muscular body, sharp claws and fangs, along with the same colour fur as the toxic wolves.
When it noticed the dead bodies of the wolves that Moby had just slain, it let out an even louder scream that hurt Moby's ears before lunging at him at full speed, forcing him to demon flash out of the way.
Moby then used this opportunity to use his inspect skill on the beast in front of him.
