Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality



"Well done Argon... Now we're surrounded." Syra sighed before letting out a little chuckle.

"S-Shut up... You made me scream." He argued.

"I made you do nothing." She adamantly spoke, refusing to take the blame for the current mess.

"H-Hey, guys. Please stop flirting and actually get to fighting. I'm terrified of spiders as well." Herla said while shivering slightly when hearing the sounds around them.

"I'm not scared of them! L-Look! I'll prove it to you." She stood up straight with both of his swords in his hands.

And then, the spiders finally began to come out of the bushes around them.

A sense of fear shot through his body, but his eyes steeled when he looked to the side at the unfazed Syra.

Taking a deep breath in, he stood in a fighting position.

The spiders around them were around the side of a wolf. They were enormous, and most likely poisonous, too, so it would probably be for the best if they avoided getting poked by one of them,

*Swoosh*

One of the spiders shot through the air and appeared before Argon; however, he didn't move.

The spider quickly closed in and exposed its fangs; however, a moment before it could hit him, it was suddenly sliced into 12 pieces.

"Oh? Maybe you aren't scared of them after all." Syra said while launching air bullet after air bullet, shooting the spiders several times until they eventually died.

On the other hand, the others weren't fairing any worse.

These spiders were only Dull-topaz spiders at best. Even the weakest among them, that happened to be Herla, could beat every single one of them. It would just take a little bit of effort.

*Bang Bang Bang*

Water and fire bullets shot through the air and either exploded the spiders or burned them to a crisp.

On the other hand, Falco and Herla seemed to be running around the field, killing any strays.

Herla, despite being a mage, decided to use her daggers instead.

Falco did the same thing; however, instead of using only one dagger to kill them, he dual-wielded his daggers.

His body continued to disappear and appear as he used his movement technique.

Toki flowed around him with smoothness and ease.

Every movement he made was calculated, and most of all, powerful!

His fighting style was unique to his family.

It was a form of toki martial arts that allowed the user to build up kinetic and elastic energy for a few seconds before releasing it in an explosion of speed and power.

It was why it seemed like he was disappearing and appearing repeatedly. Or at least that's how it looked to the spiders he killed.

Everyone else saw him as more of a blur. That was either because they had honed their senses like Syra, were wearing armor that allowed them to see something as fast as Falco, or even had toki like Argon.

Within a minute, every single spider in the area was killed.

"Did they really take three bullets to die?" Argon suddenly asked while learning down to check one of Syra's kills.I think you should take a look at

"No... I was just making it easier for myself to take out the cores." Syra replied, and when Argon saw the matter at which the beasts were hit, he could not help but widen his eyes.

His cores were a little easier to take out since they were within one of the 12 pieces of the dead creatures, but since Syra didn't want to waste much mana and time, she chose to use the bullet method instead.

Walking over to the spider, she reeled her leg back and slammed it onto a specific section of the spider.

Suddenly, a core shot out of their body before slowly rolling on the ground before the corpse.

"Wow." Falco, who was collecting his own cores by digging them out of the corpses, could not help but remark.

"When did you learn to do that?" Herla asked.

"I've always done this... Ever since second year. Did you guys really not notice?" She asked with a little shock in her voice.

"Hmm. I definitely noticed. That's why I didn't ask-" Zelon spoke with a bit of pride in his voice; however, he quickly felt a punch land on the top of his head, causing him to slam face-first into the cold dirt below.

"Herla... We need him." Syra sighed.

"Oops. Sorry." She shrugged.

After that, they continued walking.

They would encounter a few batches of spiders every now and then; however, they were quickly dealt with.

Some of them were stronger than the ones they had to fight back there. Actually, one of them was even had a pristine-topaz core, however, a single wind blade did the job, decapitating it in an instant before being harvested by all of them.

And eventually, they had reached their destination.

"Fuck... Is that it. Why is it so creep." Zelon asked while taking a few steps back.

"Spiders live in caves... What's so surprising?" Herla snarled.

"I thought you were scared of them." Zelon complained.

"Well, seeing you being so cowardly, and Argon being so brave, I thought I might as well face my fear too. I don't want to end up like you." Herla shrugged.

"You son of a-"

"Time to go." Syra cut him off and began to walk into the cave.

Everyone else followed behind her, completely unaware of the chain of events their entrance to the cave had caused.

"Is it time?" The man from earlier, who looked like an older Lochras, asked with a bit of annoyance.

"Only a bit left, sir. They should be there at any time." Another man said from the side while looking at several projections.

"Ah... My child Syra... Today you shall awaken and rise to the very top. Break your limits my child. Take the Skylarks to the very top." The man grinned
