Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality



Nymira could be seen standing with her blade placed at her hip.

She was panting heavily, and sweat flowed down her face like a waterfall.

His breaths were becoming heavier by the second; however, she could quickly stabilize her breathing with one deep breath.

She couldn't see what was before her, but she knew the monster wasn't dead.

She could smell that it wasn't dead.

It reeked with the smell of burning flesh, but it was otherwise fine.

No... Its condition was getting better by the second.

The attack Nymira had thrown out could not be repeated multiple times without consequence. Her attack was extremely draining, and she could only throw one more out at best before collapsing on the ground.

"Run! Now!" Nymira shouted with her blade readied in front of her.

Eclipse didn't waste any time and began to run immediately. Using a hook-like piece of metal, he placed it onto Zelon and began to run as quickly as possible.

Zelon immediately began to scream and shout.

He didn't want to leave his friend behind. No matter how much he might have denied it in the past, David was like a brother to him.

Sure, Zelon had his own brothers, but they weren't like David. They didn't care for him like his current friend group did.

Every single one of them truly loved each other as if they were one big family, and right now, their family had a crucial member ripped away by the hands of a monster.

"No! Let go of me, you bastard! Don't leave him behind! Please! We can save him! Please!" Zelon let out a wretched scream from the depths of his soul, yet all Eclipse could do was close his eyes.

He had seen many scenes like this throughout his life. He was quite old, after all. It was only normal for him to have seen something like this... Hell, he had even gone through something like it too, when he was a little older than Zelon.

Without looking back, Eclipse began to speed toward the hole that Nymira's attack had created.

He quickly dodged all the spider webs in the way and began to run out of the hole.

Jumping out of the cavern, he sped into the forest and ran as far as he could without taking a single breath.

He didn't make a single sound as he moved through the forest. His armor shone with a silver glow as a spell concealed all his movement and the sounds he made. 

Syra had tried to escape too, but unlike Eclipse, she wasn't nearly fast enough to get to the hole in time.

Because, by the time she was in front of it, she felt a sense of danger overcome her body, causing her to use some of the spells stored inside her arm to blast herself away from the area.

"Shit." She muttered. She hadn't seen it, but her body told her that she had just been attacked by the same thing that killed David.

She was holding Herla in her hands, so it was extremely difficult to move at fast speeds. Plus, she wasn't like Silas.

She could remember how he used to create spells by simply walking, but she wasn't like him. She didn't know how to create spells through her feet, and it was most likely not going to be something she would learn to do any time soon.

*Fwoohm*

Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from within the dust cloud before Nymira.

Nymira immediately took a step back and positioned herself in front of Syra.

However-

*Swoosh*

Suddenly, something shot out of the dust cloud with extreme speed.

With a sniff of the air, Nymira smelt it, but she quickly deflected the attack to the best of her ability.

Toki covered her blade and moved in a weird yet hypnotic formation. The moment the thing slammed against her sword, it was parried away from both Syra and Nymira.

The spider creature could not be seen in front of them. However, there was something different about it. The entire right side of the spider woman's body was burned; however, it was quickly healing at a visible rate.I think you should take a look at

Her muscles, skin, and organs weaved themselves into existence. The creature radiated with power... Power that it shouldn't have had, especially when considering its previous core grade.

'Solid Sapphire.' Nymira thought with horror.

Nymira could probably take on a sapphire core in the dull grade. She would definitely struggle, but it was doable. However, in the sapphire core, the grades were not the same as they were back in the amethyst core and lower.

The difference between a dull and solid sapphire core was comparable to the difference between an initial dull amethyst core and a peak pristine amethyst core.

That was how big the difference was, and it only got higher the stronger someone got.

The difference between someone with a solid sapphire core and another with a pristine core was double that of the last one.

*Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh*

Suddenly the spider's legs began to move.

They shot forward like spear, and at the end of them, one could clearly see a spike protruding out of them, dripping with a purple substance.

Nymira quickly used her nose to the maximum extent. 

Her body flickered as she bent at different angles to dodge the incoming attacks quickly, while using her toki and sword to parry the rest of the attacks that might have gone past her.

Every one of the spider's attacks was filled with so much power that they created a force of wind so powerful that it might have even killed a lower dull-pristine ranked beast, so Nymira had to make sure to parry as many as she could while making it sure that Syra was kept safe.

Nymira was using one of her techniques from the king's sword style. It was called noble parry, and it used toki to not only neutralize attacks or weaken then, but it also redirected the momentum of an attack, allowing it to go in another direction without losing its power. Those were the two sides of the technique, and they both took an equal amount of strength and power.

However, Nymira was using both of them right now simultaneously. First, she would weaken the attack, and when that was done, she would redirect them.

Her panting grew stronger the more the fought, but she knew she couldn't back down.

A single accurate and unperturbed blow from the Queen spider would most likely have the strength to destroy an entire portion of the forest without any problems.

If it weren't for Nymira's blocks, the entire cavern would have been turned to dust right now.

*Swoosh*

Suddenly, one of the spider's legs slammed against Nymira's armor. While it might not have stabbed through and injected her with the poison, it still blew the wind out of her and caused her to collapse to the ground.

'This is my chance.' Syra finally thought while placing Herla on the ground and taking her staff out of her storage pouch.

Taking in a deep breath, she began to mutter under her breath.

"Eye of the storm, voice of thunder.

I call upon thee, that which will bring me strength.

Rip my enemies apart, turn them to dust.

Eye for an eye, bring light to the lost," 

Suddenly, her eyes crackled with something before energy pooled into the crystal in her staff.

When her staff touched the ground, arches of lighting erupted out of it, seemingly drawing something on the ground.

"Eye of Thunder," She muttered, and finally, the magic circle under her feet shone with a silverish-cyan light.

Red runes shone on her staff as that happened before a bright flash of light blinded everything around her.

*BOOOM*
