14 Body evolution

Sitting on the floor, Caesar took his backpack that he had thrown aside before the fight, and took a glass bottle that contained a reddish-colored pasty material and began to pass through his wounds, especially the wound on his right arm. that was bleeding a lot. This was the medicine he changed with the stitches he had the day before, it was mainly used to help stop bleeding.

Finishing up the medicine, he put away the flask that was just a little less than half of the reddish paste and pulled out the teeth of the leader of the rats, this was good material and could probably be used to get some points. Then he moved as fast as he could without making his injuries worse in the direction in which Pedro had run.

He moved for a few minutes in the forest until he managed to find the exit. The moment he left the forest, he saw Pedro, he was sitting near the entrance and was very nervous and with a little regret on his face.

"Damn! If I had fought those animals ..." he whispered a little sad looking at the ground, he thought that Caesar had been attacked by the mice and lost his life.

"Hey man, is everything okay?" Caesar arrived at his side and asked with a small smile on his face after seeing that the guy really thought he had died.

"No ..." He found the voice familiar and raised his head to see who it was.

"Caesar!" Pedro got up and gave Caesar a hug, he even had his eyes watering a little bit of happiness.

"Isn't that a little exaggerated?" thought Caesar looking at his teammate who was hugging him. It was not an overreaction for Pedro, he thought that Caesar had told him to run, so that he could stay and sacrifice himself, buying time for his escape, he never thought that Caesar could fight against a large number of animals like that.

After they talked for a while, Pedro calmed down and guided him to the institute's infirmary. On the way, he noticed the injuries that were in Caesar's body, especially the hole in his right arm covered with a reddish paste. These wounds made him very curious about how Caesar survived, initially, he thought he just ran as he did, but seeing the injuries that covered his legs and arms, he thought that was not the case.

"Caesar, how did you manage to escape? I thought you died." Pedro asked Caesar just before they arrived at the infirmary.

"I did the same as you, I just waited for a little and ran as fast as I could, but I wasn't fast enough and I ended up with these injuries." Caesar didn't tell the truth, if someone knew that he could fight with more than 30 animals alone, they would realize that he had more than one skill since a person with magical support ability couldn't even deal with 10 at the same time unless you're a high-level hunter.

Entering the infirmary, he was treated and taken to a room, as his injuries were not fatal and were already much better due to the medicine he used and the injections of vital energy he injected into himself, he was not treated immediately and had to wait for the medical team. A few minutes later, two people entered the room, a woman and a man, the woman was one of the people on the medical team who had healing skills and the man was a nurse who assisted her.

"What do we have here?" She looked at the guy next door who was carrying papers in her hands.

"Moderate injuries to the legs and a serious injury to the right arm." he replied to the doctor after checking one of the papers.

Hearing this, she approached Caesar and checked the wounds more closely, after taking a look, she warned him.

"I'm going to start the treatment."

"You will feel an intense itch for a few seconds." Caesar nodded and the woman raised her arms to her mouth and spat in her hands. Strangely, her saliva was white as milk, she brought her hands close to Caesar's body and ran her hands over the wounds on his leg, the instant she touched, the wounds started to itch and Caesar squirmed trying not to scratch the local. She repeated this process a few times until her saliva had passed through all of Caesar's wounds.

After the doctor finished, she left the room after saying goodbye to him. At the beginning of the treatment, Caesar found this method of healing very strange, but observing after the end of the treatment it was really quite effective, his minor wounds were already much better and the wound in his right arm would also recover quickly.

While lying in bed, resting, he thought about the events that happened that day during the battle, and he ended up remembering something strange that happened. When his body was getting tired and was repeatedly pressed by the rats, he ended up undergoing a change, for the rest of the battle, his blood flowed faster than normal and he gained an increase in his physical capacity, that was one of the reasons for your victory.

He thought for a while until he decided to check his status, as he thought there was some change in his "Evolved Body".

<Name: Caesar Augusto>

<Level: 17>

<Points: 8200>

<Magic Abilities: Basic manipulation of vital energy; Evolved Body (Phase 1)>

<Common skills: Melee combat (Intermediate); Weapon Mastery (Intermediate)>

As he thought, his body had changed again. He was curious and asked the system.

"System, what is this new information that has appeared?"

<Those who survive are those who are more apt. Your body adapted to the battle and entered the first phase of evolution, now your blood flows faster and carries a small amount of magical energy that increases your physical power.>

"How many phases does my Evolved Body have?"

He waited for the answer for a few seconds but heard no sound in his mind, it was at that moment that he realized that the system wanted him to find out for himself.
