Chapter 23 - 19: Evolution is frightening (1/2)

In the shroud of darkness that encased John, he was slowly being reconstructed molecule by molecule at an incredibly slower pace than what he had experienced before making the intense pain of being deconstructed and rebuilt last far longer than it originally had before. Although the pain was nearly unbearable he never let out a scream or grunt as he prepared himself for it the instant Dixie surprised him with the last-minute warning of his special evolution.

A whole 3 hours went by and he was now fully reconstructed and was relieved when the pain had finally subsided although the feeling and memory of such an event were something that would take longer to get over. It took a little under thirty seconds for the shroud of darkness the encased him to disappear and he had a clear view of his surroundings. What he saw was something he didn't expect at all.

Within the Grave Center, there were only three wall lights that just barely made the room more perceptible, but with John's newly evolved body the room looked as if his eyes were a flashlight shining on everything within the room to him. John was astounded and began to inspect his body and to his discovery, just about everything about his body had changed. He was now just under 8 feet tall standing at a height of 7 feet 8 inches high if you didn't include the new half-meter horns that protruded out the sides of his head and curved around the front of his forehead and pointed in the direction he was facing.(If looking for a reference for his horns imagine Ichigo from Bleach)

John touched both his horns and felt all around them as he examined their almost metallic features. He stopped c.a.r.e.s.sing them to look at his hands which had also gotten larger and were more monstrous. His entire forearms looked as if they were pitch black gauntlets with sharp spikes on his elbows while his hands looked like they were knights gloves with extremely sharp claws on each of his fingertips. His forelegs and feet looked similar making him wonder if he could look any monstrous until he opened his mouth to reveal four elongated fangs where his canines were. To make things more interesting out of excitement something on his back had twitched. Out of curiosity, he looked back to see two giant shiny black skeletal wings.

Looking at his wings that he to stretch and maneuver to the front of him. This addition to his body made John feel happy, but that happiness soon died when he realized an important aspect to wings was that they needed some type of wind resistance that his wings lacked. John stared at them for a minute and said, ”Well isn't this about a bitch. What's the point of them if I can't use them?”

As he was lost in thought over if he should just tear them off his body Dixie woke up from her nap she decided to take after John began his evolution process. She looked at the bewildered John and said as if guess his inquiry, ”Just circulate magic through your wings like the rest of your body and flapped them.”

John looked at Dixie and was glad he couldn't make facial expressions as he hadn't forgotten how she intentionally left out the information about the triple if not quadruple pain till the last second before he began his evolution. He wanted to punish her but he wondered if she'd see it as punishment or p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. Either way, he did as she said and flapped his wings after circulating his mana through them, and in an instant, he flew high into the air with insane speed until he hit the ceiling knocking dust and concrete particulates to the ground where he landed.

Dixie knocking dust and ceiling debris of her shoulder and out her hair said, ”Dammit just washed my hair! Ok look flying is something that most creatures born with wings have to take slow like most men go when they believe we want to be romantic when really we... Hmph! Nevermind that but when you have the free time just play with yourself until you get the hang of it but until then look at your stats they're as wonderful and scary as you are.”
