Beast Evolution Forge

Chapter 65 Hunt 7

"Interesting," the monster rumbled, its multiple voices laced with a newfound respect. "So, you finally decided to show your true colors."

Vell didn't respond with words. A low growl rumbled in his throat, a sound more akin to a beast than a man. He moved with a speed that defied the eye, blurring across the distance between them in an instant. His sword, now wreathed in dark energy, slashed through the air, leaving behind trails of black light.

The monster, caught slightly off guard by the sudden shift in power and speed, barely managed to raise its arm in defense. The clash of blade against flesh and bone sent shockwaves through the surrounding forest, uprooting trees and sending debris flying. A deep gash opened on the monster's arm, dark blood oozing out.

It recoiled, its eyes widening in surprise. "You... you can hurt me now?" It looked at its injured arm with a mix of fascination and anger.

"See that, me? That's how you use our power." He looked at the monster with a mocking grin on his face, "I can't believe you are struggling with something like this... how low you have fallen." He crouched down, ready for another attack but his body moved on its own, twisting to the side with a cold sweat on his forehead. Just seconds later the ground where he stood got destroyed, leaving huge claw marks.

"well damn, guess it still has some tricks up its sleeve." He sprang back to his feet, the dark energy swirling around him like a shroud. The monster, its initial surprise replaced by a burning rage, roared, the sound echoing through the forest. It slammed its injured arm into the ground, the force of the impact sending tremors through the earth. Cracks spiderwebbed across the forest floor, and chunks of earth were flung into the air.

"That was a good attack, caught me completely off guard but don't expect to get such a chance again." It vanished from sight, appearing in front of him with a punch wound up. It attacked but Vell blocked it but he still got sent sliding back.

Suddenly, a wave of red mana erupted from its mouth, engulfing him in a vortex of power. The force of the blast sent him flying backward, crashing into a massive tree. The impact shattered the tree trunk, sending splinters of wood flying in all directions.

He slumped to the ground, dazed and disoriented. "well shit, looks like i lost this one." He gave up, accepting the lost.

'Tch, how disappointing. I think I have seen enough.' The real Vell's voice echoed in his head, he knew the real one was there, 'so my performance was that bad huh?' He smiled, closing his eyes.

'You have the power but lack the creativity to use it. Come to your master and let me show you how its done.'

'Hmph, very well, I hope you can back those words up.'

The real Vell took back control, shot to his feet and wasted no time. He used shadow flicker and appeared right above the monster ready to attack. It sensed him, "useless!" It tried to grabbed him but he vanished again, this time appearing right under its nose.

"Monsters are still just monsters." He used resonance, using Wren's claws skill, fused with his mana to land a deep cut in it abdomen. It jumped back in pain, clenching its wound while Vell was eyeing it like prey.

"That's how you fight."

He licked his lips, the look in his eyes sent chills down the monster spikey spine.
