38 The Price of Evolution (1/2)

The moment the light hit him, Rahz heard a voice that shook him to the very core of his being.Every word carried a mighty strength that was very difficult to resist and incite him to kneel down and bow his head.

Rahz did the best he could to resist the force and stand his ground.Rahz main goal was to one day stand on his own two feet and be able to control his own fate without the influence of the gods.

It was a little contradictory to think that way since he followed the God of War but he believed that he was his own person with the dignity of a warrior.

Hoh! seeing the struggle of the young warrior filled Fadall with reminisce as he saw a little of himself on Rahz.

” Do you think you have what it takes to reach the Apex of strength? ”

” I am not sure if I have what it takes but I know that no matter what the challenge is, me and my Axe will meet it head on”

”HAHAHA!!! The path of strength is paved by thousands of corpses and as such you have the opportunity to show me if you are a general or a mere soldier.I will help you advanced in your class once you have defeated 50 Level 9 opponents without the help of another person.It does not matter if is in a 1 versus 1 fight or 1 versus many situation, you will advance once the number has been cleared.However, If you are able to defeat 10 first evolution creatures without the help of another person, I will give you a special reward to help you on your path to greatness”

The light dissipated and Rahz came back from his day dream.

Etta was eager to hear what the task her son need it to accomplished was and quickly walk towards him.

Rahz looked at his mother and smiled, ” I need to kill 10 first evolution creatures without the help of another person in order to evolve”.

The first elder heard the task and almost choke on his own saliva, it was the first time he heard of such a dangerous task in all the history of Helgahvall.

Rahz turned to look towards his parents to see their reaction and found out that his mom display deep concerned but his father was handling the situation rather well.It was almost to the point that he was not surprise at all.

Rahz's parents came from Silverwing city and managed to see children of some of the real powerhouses and it was very common to see them defeat opponents several levels above them.There was always a difference between fighters at any level.There were many first evolution fighters that got to where they were with the help of their doting parents and others managed to grow with their own sweat and tears.

The fact that the God of War requested Rahz to kill his opponents on his own showed that he had some expectation for his son.There could be better skills that would be awarded for his class if he could surpassed the challenge.

The oracle also stated that he could not received the help of a person but it didn't mean that he could not use better weapons and equipment.Everything seemed to be working out in Rahz's favor as they had just found a nice supply of iron and the carcass of the Kobold could be use to create a few armor pieces to help him resist some attacks.

”Did he give you a time limit to get the quest done” asked Rhaen.

” Nope he just said to kill 10 first evolution creatures”

” It is not an easy task but is not impossible.From now until the trip, I am going to spar with you in the mornings and help you improved your fighting ability but don't think because I am your father that I will go easy on you.There is an underground Arena in Willowdale town and it would be the perfect time for you to complete it”
