Chapter 81 - The Grind (1/2)
”It's time to evolve you, Fenrir,” Aurus could not help but say after knowing that Fenrir has been in the peak of B-grade for far too long already.
”Are you ready?”
”As long as it give me better power to protect Master, Fenrir always ready!” Fenrir happily replied to Aurus' question, wagging its tail back and forth with excitement. It could not help but wonder as to what its next form would be like.
”Alright then.” Aurus released a cheerful aura as he gazed at Fenrir. He composed himself for a bit before commanding the system through his mind, ”Evolve Fenrir.”
Ding!
Not long after commanding the system to evolve Fenrir, a white light started to radiate from Fenrir's body as it became a haze that spanned a few meters in radius not long after. A minute passed with Fenrir's form being a white haze, only for it to change a few seconds after said minute.
This white haze started to madly pull in Wind energy particles from the surroundings, gradually giving the white haze a green tint to it. With each every particle absorbed by the haze, the green color of the haze became more and more intensified and pronounced, stopping at a point where it would be hard for anyone to differentiate the color of the haze from the grass covering the ground.
With the haze absorbing enough Wind energy particles, the haze started to coalesce into a structure that was even more of a wolf rather than a stick affixed with protrusions and smaller sticks. Although it was still green haze, the body was now attached to four stub-like limbs that allowed the body to hang a few decimeters off the ground. As for the tail, it now looked like it was composed by multiple small sticks rather than a single small one, giving it the feeling of fur when looked from afar.
As for the head, the other end of the body that was opposite to the tail gradually enlarged to a size bigger than the diameter of the trunk as some rough features of a wolf's head started to appear on it.
This process took a few more minutes, which was not too long for Aurus, who pretty much did not care about the passing of time anymore. As Fenrir's body structure became more and more solidified, Aurus was able to make out the color of Fenrir's new body, which was pretty much an extremely dark brown. As for its aura, it was for sure green since Fenrir was inclined towards the Wind element.
Whoosh!
A few seconds later after seeing the basic features of Fenrir's evolved form, the green haze covering Fenrir's body disappeared in an instant, revealing a wolf made out of sticks and branches, yet exuded a majestic aura fit for a small king.
”I have evolved, Master!” After evolving to the A-grade, the first thing Fenrir did was to call out to Aurus, which Aurus responded by nodding inwardly and saying, ”I can see that.”
With Fenrir being finished with his evolution, a screen that detailed Fenrir's evolution appeared in front of Aurus' field of vision not long after, giving him the knowledge of Fenrir's new species name.
'Fenrir has evolved from [Wind Wolf Branch (Rare+)] to [Gale Wolf Formosus (Rare+)].'
”It sounds more imposing, that's for sure.” This was the first thought that came to Aurus' mind after reading Fenrir's new species name. Other than the fact that Branch Formosus was shortened to Formosus, it was pretty much a staple advancement in naming sense.
”I wonder how much Fenrir's stats have improved.” Of course, with evolutions come improvements in skills, especially Ally Skills. Commanding Fenrir to stay guard and maintain vigilance for no apparent reason, Aurus decided to check Fenrir's new stats, including the newly evolved Ally Skill.

”…” Aurus was at a loss for words after seeing the improvement in stats and skills that Fenrir gained after evolving from B-grade to A-grade. Yet what truly left him dumbfounded was the fact that the Ally Skill Fenrir sported was improved by a great degree, especially in movement speed!
”70% more boost in movement speed…this…this is a lot!” Aurus could not help but shout inwardly from disbelief. He could not help but look at Fenrir as if it was a demon in disguise. Fenrir subconsciously felt Aurus' gaze and looked at him with its head tilted. ”What's wrong, Master?”
