Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

The first hunt of the 4th day went smoothly — the monsters were weaker compared to the ones they'd faced in the last two days, thus the soldiers were better off in the battle. None of them sustained deep injuries, only simple scratches and other lighter injuries.

At this moment, they have located their second hunting zone for the day and had already taken their usual formation, waiting for Rowan to activate his hunter call and draw out the monsters from nearby.

Bryce and Winston still had their fighting spirits on and stared at the woods around them with a calm expression, waiting to see what kind of monsters they would go up against this time.

Rowan on the other hand had a smile on his face — in the next one or two hours, his two best soldiers would evolve!

'I can't wait to experience that! If two of my soldiers evolve, my ranking in the Novice ranking would increase even more!!' he thought.

The last time he checked his ranking was a few days before the hunting trip began — Back then, he was at #6000.

Rowan hadn't bothered to check since the hunting trip began and had made up his mind to do so when it ended.

Then he would have experienced a major boost considering his military power would increase by manifolds by then and military power contributes so much to the ranking.

While his mind was sweetened with these thoughts, he opened his mouth and activated the hunter call.

Two minutes later, monsters poured out from around the formation.

There were so many of them popping out at the same time — some ran out from the bushes while a few jumped down from tree branches but surprisingly all of them were goblins!

They were of varying heights and sizes though — the FF-rank goblins amongst the hordes were as tall as a 12-year-old while the F-rank were between the range of five to six feet tall.

'This is the first time only a single race has emerged after activating the hunter calls. They are usually mixed.'

Rowan wondered but at the same time, he was unbothered, goblins aren't that much of a stress to his soldiers anymore.

Rowan didn't even have to give the signal before the archers began their assault under the leadership of Gregor.

Their arrows were released at the goblins with insane precision and forces — about ninety nine percent of the goblins that got pierced by the arrows died, while the lucky ones sustained ghastly injuries.

The goblins let out their bestial cries without halting even after losing their comrades.

This is a result of the fresh effect of the hunter call skill — it twists the brain of the monsters to only feel bloodlust.

Every other emotions are hindered. They began returning gradually after about an hour or so have passed.

No battle have lasted pass five hours but according to Rowan calculation, the monsters would probably gain full control over their real emotions by then and do the needful.

The assault continued.

The swoshing sound of arrows firing through the air as well as the cries and thumping sound of the charging goblins continued.

Gregor placed three arrows on his bow string and shot them at once. The three arrows flew out and spread in the air.

Two of the arrows pierced the head of two short FF-rank goblins and they fell dead while the last one grazed the neck of one F-rank goblin, it only bled profusely but kept charging forward.

'My three arrow shots have gotten way better! Two of my arrows can land fatal damages ninety percent of the time.' Gregor analyzed as he took three more arrows out from his quiver and placed them on the bow string again.

He took aim cautiously before releasing — he got the same kill as the last one while the third arrow missed the target once again.

Gregor frowned and repeated the process once again.

He continued and kept getting the same and sometimes, slightly better results.

On the 7th trial, he was able to take down these short goblins at once boosting his fighting spirit even more as a smile adorned his middle-aged face.

His next shot was also successful in taking down his targets.

Sadly it wasn't the same for his next and the one after.

"Switch!"

Rowan called out and immediately the switch took place smoothly as usual, this time a few seconds faster than usual.

"Bryce, Winston, give it your all!!" Rowan decleared in a loud voice.

Winston nodded with a serious expression and Bryce grinned!

As ordered — both of them delivered!

Winston was like a gentle sword fairy as he drifted through the hordes while Bryce was like a raging bull!

Their display of strength was so captivating that even the goblins began to move away from them out of fear — but these were useless as the two raging soldiers still got to them despite their efforts.

The other soldiers could not help but cheer both of them in their mind.

Most of them wished they could display such an excellent technique in battle.

They imagined just how cool it would be to be able to exact such strength.

Ten minutes passed — the horde of goblins have been reduced drastically, while casualty were off the lowest minimum on the side of Winterseed soldiers.

Rowan observed the evolution points of Bryce and Winston.

[ Bryce - 97995/100000 ]

[ Winston - 98200/100000 ]

'They are getting closer to evolving!' Rowan noted with a sharp smile on his face.

Another 10 minutes slowly washed away in the bloodied battlefield.

Winston and Bryce performance remained the same, outstanding and ground breaking!

The others performed excellently — they were able to deal with the goblins without sustaining a single injury which is a major improvement.

At this moment, even the weakest close-range fighter has crossed the sixty thousand mark! In the next three days or so, at least 40% of Rowan soldiers would've experienced their first evolution, hence boosting the military might of Winterseed.

On the other hand, Bryce and Winston were on the verge of attaining their first.

[ Bryce - 99095/100000 ]@@novelbin@@

[ Winston - 99200/100000 ]

Unaware of their closeness to the evolution, both of them drifted across the battlefield.

At the moment, Bryce was sending out brutal punches to the heads of the goblins close to him while grinning widely. He took care of the goblins as though they were mere lifeless punching bags.

Thanks to the dwarfed height of the goblins, dealing with them in such manner didn't prove to be much stress.

Same thing on the side of Winston, he could swing his sword casually and only apply little strength and he would still be able to deal major damage on the dwarfed FF-rank goblins and inflict painful injuries on the taller F-rank.

[ Bryce - 99535/100000 ]

[ Winston - 99950/100000 ]

'Closer!' Rowan whispered while his eyes focused on the two.

Winston performed a casual slash at the back of a running goblin causing the monster to cry out in anguish and collapse on the ground. It tried to escape from the sword monsters but it was devoured by it before it even attempted.

Nevertheless, before Winston could continue forward — a strange sensation greeted his body, his eyes widened as his vision started blackening and he collapsed on his knees.

[ Your soldier ( Winston ) is evolving! ]
