Chapter 308 - A New Ray (1/2)

100 advanced points had finally been earned. Ray couldn't even remember the last time he had seen the evolution message. It had been a while and knowing that there weren't many advanced tier creatures in the Alure kingdom, he thought it would take longer to reach this point.

But the next step was what Ray always hated, the evolution process. It almost started immediately, but this time he was prepared. He sat down with his legs crossed and got into a meditating position. Keeping all of the pain inside.

The last few times this process started, he would scream from the pain of his bones breaking down and reforming again. But not this time, he wasn't going to let the system get the better of him.

Each time Ray evolved, he got closer and closer to what he once was. Although there were still many tiers of beast crystals to go with, he finally felt like his goal was in sight.

”I will return to being what I once was.”

Outside on the open field, the Underdog guild were still locked in combat. Two of the rifts had been closed, and the shadow army had lessened significantly. The tide seemed like it was starting to turn.

”We can do this, Keep pushing!” Jack shouted as he punched one of the hounds to the floor and then grabbed the mouth off the other, ripping it apart with both hands.

”That guy is a monster; how does he have such strength?” The guild members said.

Jack continued to go into the centre of the beasts with no worriers. The hounds were literally hanging off his body gripping onto him with their teeth, but still, not a single scratch was ever put on him. The beasts were far too weak.

Even Rick couldn't believe what monsters they had decided to go up against. Not only that but they had heard Jack refer to the redhead child as their boss. That boy seemed even crazier than Jack, running straight into the portal with no sign of hesitation.

”Damn it, stop running my plans, I was meant to obtain the boy for myself!” Wiz said. ”This might be the only chance I get. If the others got wind of what I was trying to do, they would punish me for it.”

”Well at least I got rid of that annoying brat, now just to deal with the rest.

With two of the rifts now closed Wiz needed to do something fast, otherwise soon the Guild members would take over. We waved his staff once more, and two more enormous rifts appeared from above. Then two large hounds, advanced tier creatures with tentacles over their body came falling from the sky.

As they landed the rifts above them closed.

”Now this what I was waiting for!” Jack said as he saw the two large dogs.

But before Jack could even move forward to defeat the dogs, a bright light started to appear next to him. After a few moments, a figure could be seen standing in the white light.

Out of it came a red-haired man with spikey hair.

”Ray?” Jack said, half confused.

Jack had a right to be confused. For the person standing in front of him was a man, it was not the 17-year-old he had travelled with in the past year. It looked almost identical to Ray only more mature, his body had filled out a little, and his face was more chiselled.

Back in the cave, Ray had just finished going through his evolution.

[Advanced tier evolution complete]

[0/100 King tier points]

[Race: Dracotaur]

Once again, Ray had gone through a race change. His whole body felt slightly new compared to before. At first, he thought he must have been imagining things as everything around him looked somewhat taller.
