Both the "Bloody Berserker" and Evan were badly wounded. They both had no arms, but unlike the young man, the monster just needed to drink blood to regain its strength. Of course, this wouldn't make the "Bloody Berserker's" arm grow back, but the monster`s condition would be much better than Evan's.
However, that would be so in a normal situation. No one knew why, but when the "Bloody Berserker" had completely eaten Evan's arm, strange changes began to happen to it. Naturally, Evan should not have expected anything good in such situation.
Evan didn't understand exactly what was happening now, but it was obvious that his opponent was getting stronger and stronger. Evan was in no hurry to attack since he didn't know what to expect from the "Bloody Berserker" at this point.
As for the teachers, they were well aware of what was going on with the monster, but they hadn`t expected it to happen right now.
Arve frowned and calmly said: "Bloody Berserk is evolving, but why? It was severely weakened, and besides, it was wounded during the fight. It shouldn't have evolved by drinking so blood and eating so flesh."
Arve didn't like when sothing inexplicable happened. This situation interested him and annoyed him greatly at the sa ti.
Draven said slowly: "I agree, it's really strange. In the usual situation, for a monster to evolve, he needs a dozen years of eating well and fighting a lot. Only then can it make a big step forward. This monster, on the other hand, isn't even in its best form, and it's unbelievable that it's evolving right now."
Arabella looked at Evan with interest and said quietly: "This guy tried so hard, but unfortunately for him the worst thing happened. There have been a couple of tis in my mory when monsters evolved during the test. But, I've never seen it happen to a final monster. Evan definitely shouldn't be gambling."
Arve looked at Arabella and asked: "Shouldn't we finish the test? This is unprecedented, we shouldn't let a student fight the evolved "Bloody Berserker."
The girl nodded and was about to give the signal to summon Golem, but was suddenly interrupted by Draven. He grabbed her by the arm and at that mont Arabella thought.
Draven stared madly at Arabella and mouthed, "Wait, don't you dare interrupt this fight, we're not likely to see anything like this again."
Arabella was shocked: she had never seen Draven act so impulsively before.
"Well, if the guy gets killed, it will be on your conscience." She said it briefly and continued to watch the fight.
The other teachers were dumbfounded by Draven's actions and the decision of the head of the Academy. Every one of them was convinced that Evan needed to be rescued imdiately. At the mont, he was not fighting a strong opponent, but was trapped in a cage with a wild beast. That was what all the teachers thought, regardless of the color of their mantles. Even the teachers in gray mantles thought that Draven had behaved too recklessly.
However, their dissatisfaction could not change Arabella's mind. She decided to make a concession to Draven, but he must see to it that Evan lives to the end of this test.
...
Evan kept a close eye on the changes that were happening to the "Bloody Berserker".
After it had completely devoured Evan's arm, a terrifying aura began to emanate from the monster, and it itself froze in place, as if waiting for sothing to happen.
Suddenly the monster's muscles began to shrink dramatically, and, moreover, it beca shorter itself. The "Bloody Berserker" was originally three ters tall, but now it was only two and a half.
After a few seconds, the transformation of the monster was over.
Crack.
With a flick of the hand, it flung all of its armor onto the floor, it didn't need it anymore. Evan gazed intently at the changed monster. Outwardly, the "Bloody Berserker" looked even weaker than when at the beginning of the test.
It was incredibly skinny, every bone visible under its skin and so strange symbols appeared on its neck.
Whoosh.
The next mont, the monster's severed right arm re-grew in literally seconds. It was covered in the sa symbols as its neck.
Evan didn't know what to expect. The "Bloody Berserker" was the most formidable opponent he'd ever encountered in this world. Even though the monster was weaker on the outside, Evan knew it wasn't so.
The overwhelming aura of the "Bloody Berserker" was felt by everyone in the arena. It was bloodthirsty and crushing.
Step.
The "Bloody Berserker" took a slow step toward its severed arm. Its movents were very fluid and light. When it reached the arm, it lifted it unhurriedly.
The next mont the symbols on its arm glowed brightly, and sothing incredible began to happen to the severed arm. That was the difference between the ordinary monsters and the evolved ones.
Evolved monsters had extra abilities besides the ones they already had originally. In essence, they were similar to the magicians` spells, but with completely unique effects. You could say that the evolved monsters had one, but very powerful personal ability.
Whoosh.
In an instant, the severed arm split into thousands of bloody strands. They quickly spliced together and turned into a long sword, with many teeth on its blade. The weapon looked very nacing and intimidating. If such a sword hit its target, it would turn flesh into a bloody ss.
Whoosh.
The "Bloody Berserker" raised its sword, almost broken by Evan. It pointed it in the direction of the young man, then shattered it with its new weapon.
Whoosh.
With a slight movent of the hand, the "Bloody Berserker" threw the chopped blade toward Evan. The sword's speed was incredible, it whistled a few inches from Evan's face and crashed into the root behind the young man. The root imdiately tilted and fell to the ground with a crash.
Evan, however, wasn't frightened: he didn't dodge this deadly attack, and he didn't even look back at the root. He stared at the "Bloody Berserker" with a strange look.
Evan's emotions were very difficult to understand at that mont. He was perplexed by what was happening, delighted by his opponent's strength, and enraged at the sa ti. When the monster demonstratively destroyed his old weapon, Evan's attitude toward their duel changed dramatically.
The "Bloody Berserker" walked slowly toward Evan. It was in no hurry, as it could kill the young man with just a flick of his hand. The monster felt itself overflowing with the great power.
Nevertheless, the magicians also had their wonders, along with the evolution of monsters. At this point, Evan had another weapon: emotion.
Whoosh.
Suddenly the young man's aura began to diminish and weaken. After a second, it disappeared altogether, as if Evan had beco ten tis weaker during that interval of ti.
Evan's face beca completely unemotional: there was no surprise, no pain, no elation.
The young man was walking leisurely toward the monster as if he were now the predator rather than the prey. His athyst eyes were icy and his gaze was full of superiority. Even though Evan was seriously wounded, he looked as if he was standing much higher than the "Bloody Berserker".
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Draven laughed loudly.
"He`s entered the "Gust!"
