Blood Evolution System

Monsters came pouring out of the cave entrance as a stream of water splattered on the spring below.

Leila continued to attack from a distance, ice spears shattering the negative energy barriers of the blue-bodied ape-like monsters.

Peter stood guard near his sister, ready to smash the head of any monsters that would choose to target his sister.

Vincent and Varth maneuvered their bodies like experts on movement techniques, dancing around the overgrown grassy fields with little to no wasted movements, dodging monsters' attacks before counter-attacking with their crimson sword and battle gun, respectively.

Their attacks were aimed at the vital points of the beasts, intending to kill them in an instant.

Pitter! Patter!

Cold droplets of water crashed against the ground as it rained down heavily.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning brightened up the cloudy night sky as it cut across the darkness of the night like a harbinger of light and hope, then in an instant, it was gone; however, a lot was happening down below the sky, on the woods near the city of Leslie with vast expanses of overgrown green bushes and trees with vibrant leaves that stood tall and straight, resisting the winds and the cold rain, as the crimson sword pierced the brains and the necks of the defenseless monsters and a volley of bullets blasted a hole in the vital parts of the blue and hairy bodies of the monsters.

The two teenagers didn't show even a hint of remorse as, under their attacks, the hairy bodies of the monsters fell on the ground one after another without any signs of life from their eyes or bodies.

"Monsters and beasts exist to inflict harm on people. They are the cause of many sufferings, from a child weeping at the corpse of his father slain under the claws of a beast to a soldier losing his comrade under the jaws of the beasts. It's better to kill a monster when you see one as you will save the weak and the innocent from harm."

These monsters had abducted the poor citizens of the city of Leslie and ate them to satisfy their hunger. Those poor people were only out in the outskirts and the woods to gather herbs, shrubs, and other sellable stuff to make money to feed their families, yet these monsters mercilessly devoured them, leaving their families full of grief and sorrow.

Vincent could never feel empathy for monsters, and he didn't need to, for he knew that what he was going wasn't wrong.

The monsters at the weakest rank of the magical realm began backing up to the entrance of the cave after witnessing their most vital members slaughtered by the humans without any effort.

One of the harbingers of death grinned beneath his mask.

Where the hell do they think they are going?

Varth aimed at the back of the monsters that ran away from them due to fear and pulled the demon trigger.

"Ugh!!!"

The monsters shrieked as they fell one after another, calling for the most powerful to come out of the cave and help them.

"Roar!!!"

Hearing the screeching of the monsters, their lord responded with a call of his own, a roar which reverberated throughout the woods, spreading far and wide, reaching even the outskirt of the city and sounding in the ears of the guards standing guard near the entrance.

The guards inclined their heads to look at the woods, wondering what the hell is going on in the woods.

"Did they provoke a devil?" The friendly young guard with a pleasant personality said, looking towards the woods, wondering what kind of monster the group made up of four students have aggravated.

"I don't think that that roar belongs to a monster in the magical realm. It's probably a demonic realm monster. The group of four are merely students. I think they won't be able to hold their ground against a demonic beast." Said the burly guard standing beside the young guard. "Should we send help their way?"

"No! If they can't deal with it, do you think we will be able to do anything better? We will just be heading to our death even if we went to the woods to help them.

"I understand, sir," the burly guard said.

He exhaled a deep breath, thanking his lucky stars that the guard captain didn't tell them to head out to fight the monsters.

"Don't just stand there. Go and notify the city lord." The friendly young guard who happened to be the captain of the guards said, motioning the burly guard to hurry up and head to the city lord castle.

"Yes, sir!"

A few moments later, once the reverberation dimmed down, eighteen monsters came pouring out of the cave.

Each monster was the size of a human adult. The thickness of their negative energy barrier was two times that of the monsters before. Furthermore, their negative energy barrier was in the shape of solidified dark purple metallic plate on their vital parts.

The monster didn't attack them as if they were waiting for something.

"All of these monsters are at the ninth rank of the magical realm. Be careful!" Vincent said to them as he stood his ground while looking at the glowing three ruby eyes emerging from the cave's darkness.

Suddenly, gigantic hands came out of the cave and clutched its walls as the most powerful Grim Gore hunched down and stepped out of the cave.

It was a long, obese, and hairless monster with a body adorned in dark purple armor from head to toe except for the limbs and three ruby eyes glowing ominously with killing intent. This monster was a few meters taller than Vincent. Its arms and thighs were thick like barrels, a mix of fat and muscle combined with its blue body and face protruding with sharpened bones looked repulsive to the eyes.

"It's a demonic monster!" Varth yelled out loud, his voice tinged with excitement.

The evolution material inside the cave must be freaking extraordinary as it has managed to strengthen a grim gore to the demonic realm!

Peter and Leila gulped as their eyes widened in horror.

"Are we going to fight it?"

"Don't panic. It isn't a monster in the demonic realm." Vincent instantly called out, his voice booming in the thundering winter rain. "But it's at the limit between a magical realm and a demonic realm Grim Gore."

Vincent had never seen a demonic realm Grim Gore before, but he'd gotten information that this wasn't it from his system.

It was a monster at the brink of rank-10 of the magical realm. A single push was all it needed to advance into the ranks of the demonic realm.

The monster standing below the cloudy night sky didn't get drenched by the rain due to the thick negative energy armor adorned all over its body, blocking everything from coming closer to its body as it saw corpses of its minions on the ground, the cause of which was standing right in front with a crimson sword held in his hands.

Vincent and the leader of the Grim Gore looked at each other, the young demi-human with crimson eyes fearlessly staring straight into the ruby eyes of the monster.

Them staring into each other eyes was the calm before the storm.

"UGHHH!!!"

The calmness in the thundering rain shattered as a monstrous roar sounded in the woods below the cloudy night sky that has set apart enough to reveal one of the two moons of Xavier.
