BXBX NOVEL Chapter 51 Evolutions And Leveling Up!
As they run small projectiles fly past them, stabbing deep inside trees and the ground, none hit them as a huge shield made from mana was protecting them from the back.
[ Mana Shield ]
Description: A basic technique of a knight, by using mana the player can form a huge ethereal shield to protect numerous people.
"Dammit, to think we would get into such a mess." Wolf cursed out while running, everything was going smoothly for them in the dark forest until they came across these enemies.
30 minutes earlier.
"Whew, these guys' speedy little bastards weren't they." Tank wipes off the sweat from his forehead, with a huge body like his cardio was never one of his strengths, not to mention he hated it as well.
A couple of minutes ago everyone was slowly going through the forest as usual before they suddenly got attacked by a party of 6 black wolves, the wolves were larger than normal and had decent stealth capabilities, leading to the party not being aware of them, luckily their individual strengths were lower than the average monster on their level, stealth and speed being things they focus on.
After a long battle, they managed to kill 5 of them and immobilize one wolf, letting Beast try to tame it, as always the goddess of luck made him succeed in the first try

"Damn Beastie you really are like a lucky charm, getting a good monster on your first try and letting Greenie evolve too." Shadow pats Beast's shoulder while laughing, everyone felt quite good about the situation now, not only were they close to level 14 they got a strong helper in the wolf and Greenie was finally going to become stronger again.
Two black cocoons wrapped around Greenie and the wolf, the party had nothing to do so they guarded the two cocoons, making sure nothing would be able to disrupt them.
One of the cocoons suddenly bursts open as Beast's wolf comes out, it was slightly bigger than before, the black fur it had was even darker than before and had dark purple lines on it. Beasts looks at it and checks it status again

Looking at the wolf whose stats were close to theirs everyone had a surprised expression on their face.
"It's much stronger now, not only the stats, even the skills changed and got a boost." Reign put his hand under his chin while contemplating. "It seems like the race evolution has a big part on the monster's strength, I wonder if we can do something similar or not."
"We probably can, remember what notification we got after getting a class, seems like we will slowly move further away from the realm of humans while leveling up, race evolution is definitely possible." Wolf chips in from the side.
Suddenly the other cocoon starts shaking, red lines slowly become visible on it as it expands before finally exploding.
Greenie was standing at the place where the cocoon was previously, he had changed tremendously, he was now 2 meters tall with bulging muscles everywhere, his skin was no longer green but gray with red lines on it. His hair was now black and two horns were protruding slightly on both sides. He slowly opened his eyes, his red pupils looking straight at Reign.
Taking a couple of steps forward he kneels down while saying.
"Master, I have become stronger again."
"Oh, seems like your speech became better as well, good, good." Reign nods happily as he brings up the status screen, eager to find out how much stronger his subordinate has become.

"Holy shit!" Shadow exclaims as he looks at the status screen next to Reign, the wolf was already incredibly strong but Greenies boost in stats was incredibly high, not to mention the skills and abilities he had gained.
After resting a bit of time everyone started moving again, eager to explore more of the dark forest, it was only a short couple of minutes later that they came across another batch of enemies.
Without any warning the party had suddenly faced a small barrage of projectiles aimed at them, Tank was at the front so he managed to block all of them with no difficulty, looking ahead everyone could see their enemies, the monsters in front of them looked like humans, of course, that was only the body shape they had, their entire bodies were made of wood.
[Lvl 11 Wood Folk ]
[Lvl 12 Wood Folk]
…
The Wood Folks in front of them came in different shapes and sizes, all of them looked humanoid, some had bigger arms, some had bigger legs…
The attacks of the Wood Folks were different as well, some launching needle-like projectiles from their bodies at the party while others detached part of their bodies and used them as javelins. The ones that didn't have long-range capabilities were charging towards everyone. The number of enemies was about 9, with 4 being melee combatants who were charging forward.
"Beast and Shadow try to take out at least one of their long-range fighters, Beast, tell your wolf to go full stealth mode and try to take out one as well, the rest of us will try to finish these 4 as fast as we can," Wolf commands as he goes to meet the 4 enemies with the others, each one took on one enemy as their numbers were the same.
The melee fight had no suspense, at the same level the monsters couldn't endure long against anyone, Reign quickly dissected his opponent until finally stabbing deep inside it while using his lightning to fry the insides. Tank simply smashed apart his opponent with the shield while hacking away at it with his axe. Wolf used his greatsword together with his fire to make short work of it, the fire being incredibly effective against it. Greenie on the other hand simply used his hammer to crush parts of his opponent before he finally destroyed the head and body.
Immediately after finishing them off, they charged towards the remaining opponents who numbered 3 now, with one being seriously injured. Beast and Shadow focused their attacks on one opponent which allowed them to quickly kill it while Beast's wolf attacked another one, it had just killed him when Reign and the others finished their battle.
The remainder of the battle held no suspense, the remaining 3 enemies were quickly taken care of.

Before anyone could be happy about their victory and leveling up they heard sounds in front of them, their eyes widened after seeing what was coming at them, it was the Wood Folks again, only this time there were tens of them, perhaps even a hundred, looking at each other they all screamed: "RUN!"
And that was how the present situation happened, the party was still on the run, trying to flee the forest in haste.
