Beast Evolution Forge

Chapter 99 Guardians 6

The monster growled low, dragging itself back to its feet. Its glowing red eyes fixed on the twins, rage burning in them.

They stepped forward, moving in perfect sync. Their playful smirks were gone, replaced with sharp focus.

"Let's clean this up," Sia said, cracking her knuckles. "Mia, ready?"

"Always," she said, rolling her shoulders. Her skin shimmered, mana hardening her arms as they prepared to fight.

The monster lunged, claws swiping. But before they could connect, the twins vanished, reappearing in a flicker of shadows on either side of it.

"Over here!" Sia teased, darting forward. She slammed a hardened kick into its side, the force making it stagger.

Mia followed right behind, flipping into the air. She brought her knee down hard on the monster's back, sending it crashing to the ground. The creature howled, ichor oozing from its wounds, but it pushed itself back up, claws flashing.

The monster swiped at Sia, but she ducked and rolled. She spun on her hands, kicking its legs out from under it.

"Too slow!" She said, jumping back to her feet.

Mia darted in next, her movements quick and smooth. She drove her palm, reinforced with mana, into the creature's chest. The impact sent it skidding back, leaving deep claw marks in the dirt as it tried to stay upright.

The twins moved together like a dance, one attacking while the other dodged. The monster couldn't keep up, its claws slashing at empty air as they flickered in and out of its reach.@@@@

"This skill is really handy in human form," Mia said, smirking as she teleported out of the monster's path just in time.

"Focus!" Sia shouted, her hardened fist slamming into the creature's jaw.

The monster roared in frustration, swiping wildly. Its claws came close, grazing Sia's arm, but she flickered back before it could do more.

Mia crouched, gathering mana from the air around her. The glow returned to her body, her energy renewing. "Let's end this."

The twins exchanged a glance, then nodded. Together, they charged.

"Yeah," Mia added, grinning as she helped Kana to her feet. "We need you alive—well, mostly alive."

She sighed but couldn't stop a small smile. "You two are so annoying."

"That's what we're here for!" the twins said together, laughing as they led her back toward safety.

Wren hit the ground hard, coughing blood. 'Dammit, where such a powerful monster come from from?' She backflipped to her feet, activating her mana claws and getting into a defence stance.

"You are a fascinating little creature, achieving human form at such a low level, could be... are you a tamed beast?" The guardian landed gracefully, her wings wing vanishing into the night.

Wren didn't answer, just observed her opponent's moves. "I will take your silence as a yes. How pathetic, letting a human control you, i expected a little more from you." Despite all this, Wren did not give in to the provocations.

She steadied her breathing and kept her gaze locked on the guardian, analyzing every movement. The guardian tilted her head, a smirk tugging at her lips. Her presence was commanding, her every step deliberate. "Silent defiance, is it? Perhaps you're not entirely without spirit." She extended a hand, and the wind stirred violently, swirling around.

Wren felt the shift in the air, the currents tugging at her hair and clothes. She cover feet in mana and dug them into the ground, lowering her center of gravity. 'Stay calm, read the flow. Remember master's fighting style, use his style.'

The guardian's tone turned cold. "You think your little human master is strong?Let me show you what true power looks like." With a flick of her wrist, the wind surged forward, a razor-sharp blade aimed directly at Wren.

She dove to the side, rolling to her feet just as the wind blade tore into the ground where she'd stood. She didn't hesitate, dashing forward with a burst of speed, her claws slashing at the guardian.

But the guardian was faster. She sidestepped smoothly, her movements almost lazy. "Predictable," she muttered, raising a hand. The wind coiled around her like a serpent and lashed out, knocking Wren off balance.

She skidded across the ground, her claws sparking against the dirt. Her body ached, but she gritted her teeth, forcing herself upright.

"That's it, I love that look in your eyes, entertain me some more." She slip a hand down her stomach, her eyes locking onto Wren, "I feel like taking you as my pet, what do you think?" Her eyes looked seductive, her body twitched, barely able to control herself.

Wren stared at her for a few seconds before finally replying, "Sorry but I am already taken."

"Huh, you dare deny me?" She snapped.
