Chapter 59 - Woof to Wolf (1/2)

Within the illusion world named Power.

”I'll be taking your life then!” Aurus dashed towards the dog in front of him as he raised one of his front paws up as a precursor to one of the skills his dog body has, [Scratch].

”Awh!” Although the dog in front of Aurus was shocked that he would retaliate against its chase all of a sudden, it was still part of the illusion world that was extremely difficult, hence Aurus would not be able to harm or kill the dog in front of him that easily.

As if the dog was blessed with the luck of the world, the dog sidestepped to its left from its perspective just as Aurus' paw was going to land on its head.

Whoosh!

At that instant, the dog could not help but let out a sigh of relief as it knew that if that paw landed on its head, it would end up with it being severely injured, becoming a feast for Aurus that was in front of it. But sadly...

It was going to become a feast for Aurus either way.

”Awh!” All of a sudden, as the dog was engrossed in its thoughts, Aurus used the momentum of his descending paw to swerve his head to the right to bite down on the dog's head. Feeling the dog's snout inside his own jaw, Aurus knew that he was successful.

The dog tried to escape from Aurus' clutches yet Aurus did not even give the dog a chance to escape, as he did not feel any mercy for the dog in front of him. It was just part of the illusion world anyway, so why should he feel mercy?

Chomp!

Biting down with all of his jaw's strength, the snout of the dog was crushed into bits, making it wail loudly in pain as the crushed snout dissipated into small fragments rather than blood.

Seeing the dog in front of him lying down on the floor, he raised his front paw once more and pressed down on the dog's head.

”Any last words?” Aurus asked because it was the first dog he would kill in this world in order to become strongest.

”Woof.” Although the dog's snout was crushed into bits, the throat and vocal cords of the dog was not affected at all, thus letting out a bark filled with sadness and acceptance.

Feeling the dog's emotions pass through his body, Aurus remained silent before steeling himself to put more pressure onto the paw that was above the dog's head. Little by little, the dog's head gradually deformed under the pressure of Aurus' paw until...

Crack!

The sound of a skull breaking was heard before the dog gradually turned into little fragments that dissipated off into thin air.

Ding!

Not long after, Aurus was covered in a white fog as he felt his body gradually changing in structure as he felt more power course through his body. A few seconds later, a screen appeared in front of Aurus' field of vision.

'Aurus has leveled up!'

'Aurus has evolved from [Domesticated Dog] to [Rabid Dog]!'

'The skill [Rage] has been obtained.'

As the fog gradually dissipated into thin air, Aurus was left standing where he was as he looked at his surroundings from a new perspective. The size of his body was slightly bigger than his previous one, being 1.5 meters long and 1 meter tall now. He then felt compelled to open his current status screen since he did level up.

Ding!
