The Evolution Chronicles

Less than a minute after Mian had bestowed his blessing upon his two friends, they had already completed their goal!

The two boys had simply rushed straight at the crowd in the distance with all their might, mindful of the time limit that they had, and then, instantly found themselves within range in a few short moments! The change was too jarring, but they couldn't stop. They needed to put an end to the lives of the humans who dares to treat their kind as slaves.

In another instant, they had appeared before the men and women and methodically struck them down without encountering any sort of opposition. In truth, they had expected to have been met with at least some kind of basic resistance, but the humans had easily crumbled under their attacks.

At first, they were shocked, but then a sense of awe washed over them as they realized how powerful Mian's blessing was.

"...WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" A pained and angry roar cut them out of their thoughts. They turned to see over two hundred rage filled glares fixed on their bodies. At the forefront of the mass of Beastkin and demi-humans, a half naked Beastkin that looked to be in his twenties or so, eyed the two boys with unrestrained killing intent.

The two boys raised their arms, ready to protect themselves at a moment's notice. They had managed to take down the humans easily, but now they would have to deal with the fury of over a hundred furious demi-humans! They needed to hold on until help from the taskforce arrived, and they were not sure how long it would take, considering the fact that they had deliberately set up camp far away in order to prevent themselves from being found out by those they were spying on.

"RAAARRR!!!" As one, the enraged Beastkin and demi-humans around them roared aloud. The flames burning a small distance away shook and swayed, as though influenced by the united roar of the angry beings.

"Shit." Dion managed to curse before the Beastkin that had spoken to them lunged at him.

Some distance away, Mian hurriedly ran through the bushes and trees that separated the taskforce's camp from the bonfire.

'Crap, I didn't know they would become that fast.' He thought to himself with a wry smile on his face. He had no idea that a boost like that would raise the speed of the two boys to that level. He had thought that although they would be fast, the main body of the taskforce would not be too far behind.

Those thoughts were thrown to the cold winds the moment the boys had set off. Mian could barely blink before they had vanished from his sight and dashed down the hill.

Not too far behind him, the remaining members of the taskforce had abandoned the camp and began rushing down the hill. It was quite the sight.

One moment, the scouts had been keeping their eyes on the relatively calm collection of people around the bonfire, and in the next moment, the humans' bodies were on the ground, lifeless, with two large and familiar figures standing by their dead bodies.

"T-the humans...!" One scout cried out in shock, "They are dead!"

"What?! Say again!"

"The humans are dead! Dion and Daniel have taken care of them!" He repeated.

"What?!" Han hurried rushed up to the edge of the cliff where they could safely overlook the bonfire. And true to what the scout had said, the bodies of the humans could be seen at the feet of his son and the future Patriarch of the Zelan pack. "How is this possible?!" Han was dumbstruck. The taskforce was still preparing to go down and support the boys in their mission, but surprisingly, they had already downed the humans without any help from them!

"Quickly! Everyone, rush downhill to help them. We don't know how long they can hold up against that amount of enemies without applying lethal force!" Han quickly gave the order and the entirety of the taskforce rushed out so that they could get to the bonfire in time. That led to everyone abandoning their posts and leaving the campsite unsupervised. While this could be dangerous in any other situation, they had no time to think about the repercussions of their actions at this moment. At most, they could just send some demi-humans back to the campsite to clear up the place after they had subdued the raging tribe.

Dion hastily raised his arm to block the vicious swipe that the strong dominant Beastkin had aimed at him. Surprisingly, the claws of the man barely sunk an inch into his flesh before being stopped completely by the dense muscles that hid beneath his skin.

His reaction was on point. A solid, black furred fist slammed into the face of the Beastkin, sending him hurtling to the side, unconscious. One single punch had knocked out a dominant that was of the same rank as himself!

Dion had no time to ponder upon his amazing feat as half a dozen more Beastkin threw themselves at him. His punches were quick and decisive, knocking out all of the raging tribesmen that hurled themselves at him.

Daniel was in a similar situation just a few meters away from Dion, but unlike his friend who preferred to tank all the incoming damage, Daniel focused more on dodging the approaching Beastkin and demi-humans before doing away with them. But he made sure to be careful not to kill any of them by accident.

The two of them methodically struck down all approaching hostiles, making sure not to go too far. A pile of bodies eventually started to surround them, forcing them to restrict their movements.

It was at that time that they felt the strength that had filled their bodies for the past minutes begin to draw away from them.

"Dan! We need to get out of here!" Dion called out to his companion. The gray haired Beastkin nodded with furrowed brows as he threw a female demi-human to the side as though she was a rag. He didn't mean to be so rough, but he was against a wall already.

The two boys turned around to flee when a sudden golden halo shone around them. The bodies of the raging tribesmen instantly froze, before slumping to the ground. All of them were unconscious.

"What?" Daniel muttered, just before the figure of a black furred demi-human with blue streaks running across became visible at the other end of the bonfire.

"Good job." Mian grinned widely at them. He then turned his attention back to the unconscious members of the Bolvar tribe. The golden light that illuminated their bodies seemed to intensify ever so slightly as Mian poured all his attention into guiding the cleansing energy that currently flowed through their bodies.

At first, Mian had planned to simply apply the same method he had used on the Belmun pack, but when the taskforce had seen the extent to which the humans were able to control the minds of the tribesmen, he had decided to directly purify the bodies and minds of the victims of the Herder Drug.

Dion and Daniel moved to secure either of Mian's sides in order to safeguard him from any unseen threats that might have been lurking in the dark. They wanted to boy to be able to pour all his attention into his ability without worrying about his surroundings.

Mian sighed internally as he saw this before doing as he was supposed to. With Hana's help, he poured all his energy and mind into guiding the flow of energy in the surroundings and in the bodies of the tribesmen around him without worrying about anything. He knew just how strong his two companions were, even without his blessings, and they were a force to be reckoned with on a normal day. Aside from that, the taskforce would soon be arriving, as they were not too far behind him when he had arrived.

Time slowly passed by as Mian focused on his work and his two companions guarded him closely. Not too long after Mian began his work, the first demi-humans of the taskforce hesitantly emerged from between the cover of trees and darkness.

The reason why they had emerged hesitantly was because of the massive amount of bodies that they had noticed was gathered in the clearing where the bonfire raged.

To think that only three young boys had done this... There was only a single thought on their minds.

'What an overbearing display!'
