The gardener carrier stabbed its hand into the chest of the remaining D1 while he watered the D2's back. Then, without waiting for the watering-can to run out of energy, the D1's heart was tossed inside.
At the same time, Jun's group was throwing bone spears from a distance, which were blocked by the three-meter Destroyer's enormous body.
Bone spears were consumable items made from R0 Carrier's bones. Most of the Evolved Carrier's bones were used as materials for weapon forging and tool crafting. Even in fighting the hordes, they were only used as a form of pre-emptive attack to reduce enemy numbers while inflicting additional damage. It could only be used as a support tool and never as a primary weapon since there's a lot of more reliable choices out there.
Numerous low-quality bone spear landed on the D2's chest. Some split in half after hitting the D2's defined muscles while others got its sharp ends chipped and fell on the ground.
The bone spears didn't dealt any damage and only caused its skin to redden, which irritated the D2. Aside from that, there was nothing else, but the group didn't stop throwing them in the slightest.
'It's not enough... I need a little more.' the gardener thought then looked around. He saw Jun's group slaughtering the newly respawned R0 Carriers. There was no more sacrifice that it could use, so it sighed deeply before stabbing its chest with his hand before pulling his heart out.
The heart is the one who produces energy for the carriers. It contains all the essence of a living thing. On the other hand, the watering-can extracts the purest energy from the item fed to it.
The gardener stared at Jun's face as he used his remaining time to water the D2 from behind. He then commanded the D2 to destroy the watering-can after it evolved.
Jun watched as the strange carrier's body shatter and dissipate in shimmering specks of light. Afterward, the D2 clutched its face while staggering forward. It fell on its knee before suddenly smashing the ground repeatedly. Its body trembled slightly before calming down.
And so, when the D2 stably stood up, and its supposed height of three meters changed, it has become a four-meter giant with much denser and more energized muscles.
It entered a new realm and received some changes in its physical appearance.
The Rank 3 Destroyer has several changes on its upper body. The shoulder bones came out of its body and became black shoulder pads forming a unique shape with a coverage befitting of its sizeable body.
The black bones created a solid defense from any attacks on its shoulders.
After evolving, it planned to accomplish the duty it was given, but it felt something ominous coming and hurriedly closed its eyes.
”Ting, ting, ting!”
Several dull sounds rang after the bullets bounced off the D3's eyelids. It raised its hands in front defensively while trying to take a peak on its attackers.
Upon seeing the D2 evolve in front of them, Jun had no choice but to try killing it as soon as possible. He quickly equipped his Colt pistol before unleashing a row of gunshots. When the attack wasn't effective, he promptly switched back to melee.
He know nothing about whether it gained new abilities after evolving, and the only way to make sure is to fight it head-on.
”Keep a safe distance. Never let yourself fall on its hands.” Jun said as he charged forward. Everyone instinctively debated whether to follow him or not. They knew that they would not be of any help, but they can't let Jun go alone.
”Let's just distract it!” Marvin said as he dashed forward, wielding a bone spear to support Jun. In the worst-case scenario, he could transform and stall time for Jun to escape. He knew that if Jun couldn't kill this Destroyer, everyone else would fail.
He roughly knew the town's people's strengths after surviving by himself for a long time.
Marvin was a well-known drug addict among the survivors. Although no one knew about his transformation skill, everyone knows him as someone not to be close to. People who get on fights and disagreements were never found again. Thanks to that, he was able to live a quiet life and was able to observe everybody.
Jun was the only person that was able to beat him up, and its a fact. If he loses to the D3, there would be nobody on the same skill level as him to be found in the town.
