Chapter 156 - The Purple Bird (1/2)

Boom.

The moment the monster and two newbie magicians attacked each other, a purple beam flew toward them. In an instant, their bodies were torn apart and their lives were over.

<What`s that? >

Evan was puzzled. After the beam had appeared, he became alert and prepared for the fight. It didn't matter who had created the beam, a monster, a beast, or a human, whoever made this attack was insanely powerful.

The young man could only survive because he was behind the trunk of a huge tree, otherwise, he would have been badly hurt by such a powerful shockwave. The explosion was so strong that it destroyed everything within a radius of a few meters and a crater was formed at the point of impact.

Evan knew he had to run, he couldn't beat such an opponent now. But, his interest was too great. Until this moment he had never seen an attack more powerful than this, he was curious whose attack it was.

Whoosh.

Suddenly a purple bird, about half a meter tall, descended toward the torn bodies. Its wings were wide and looked majestic. On its neck, there were strange symbols that glowed faintly in purple for a while, until they faded completely. The most remarkable detail of this bird was...

<One-Eyed Raven!?> Evan was shocked. He hadn't expected to find a raven here at all.

<Well, stop. It's probably just another one-eyed raven. It`s not the only one in the world. This one's just stronger, that's all.> He quickly pulled himself together, as he should not have acted rashly in a situation like this.

<This raven is a little bigger than an ordinary bird, but its power is extraordinary>.

Evan was sure there was exactly the raven that had released that ray. If it hadn't, another raptor would have come for its prey, but since only this raven was here, the conclusion was obvious.

<These symbols are very similar to those of the ”Bloody Berserker”. Is it possible that this raven also evolved? I need to check it out>. Evan thought, and his ”Warp” spun.

He was going to activate the ”Eye of Truth” and look at this raven's ”Pillar of Soul”. Evan had already had time to look through the book Draven had handed him, since it was small, he easily read the whole thing.

Like Draven had said, Evan didn't learn much new information, but he did manage to pick up a few things for himself. First, he now knew what the mark of the beasts looked like, and also that the ”Pillar of Soul” also shows the evolution of monsters.

<When I get back, I'll have to read more about monster evolution. It's a pretty interesting and mysterious topic.>

Whoosh.

Evan's eye irises glowed and at the same moment he saw the raven`s ”Pillar of Soul”.

<No platform yet, that means the raven has still zero rank, but just as I thought, it had evolved.>

Evan thought as he looked at the streak on the snow-white pillar. That was an indication that the monster had evolved. When a zero rank monster evolved, the stripe appeared on the pillar itself. But if the raven had evolved at rank one, the stripe would have been on the platform.

<It turns out that the raven is a monster, not a beast after all. Now I don't need to guess, I just need to use the ”Eye of Truth”, look at the mark and I will understand everything>.
