Evolution?

The sounds of footsteps close in from each direction, I'm cornered. Ha, even if they cornered me, they can't compete with my agility, I can always go find another hidey hole until I am finished evolving.

Running in one direction, I see one giant eye above the rocks, above it is a unicorn like horn. Even if your leader is chasing me, I can always escape him. Even though my luck is bad, the cyclops can't do anything to me at all.

Wait, how did those blind cyclops search for me, they can't see, if they had a strong sense of smell they would've found me. Don't tell me they can hear things within a certain distance.

This is my hypothesis, actually, the spider's shriek brought them to me. They must have a sense of hearing, even if they have good hearing, they would still be hitting rocks, why couldn't I hear them bumping into the surrounding rocks when they passed me a while ago.

I remember if there was anything out of the ordinary while escaping the Horned Cyclops. I got it, I heard some of their clubs hitting the ground, I didn't know why they did it at first, but now I know what they used. Echo Location.

I have never heard of cyclops ever using this method before in stories. Well, I really can't expect things on earth to be true on this planet, I keep forgetting this one simple thing. Frogs that can destroy the ground with their tongue and tarantulas who can kill things with their string.

I shouldn't be too surprised, I think it was luck that they didn't come close enough to the hole to find me. I run away from the cyclops leader, he doesn't seem to be running, but walking at a leisurely pace.

Why is this guy not chasing me, isn't he supposed to defend his monster pride by being scratched by a lesser being like me. I run towards a giant maze of tall rocks, this is the perfect place to hide and evolve.

I go in as deep into the rock maze as I can go. I assume the Wings of Hell can allow me to fly so I don't mind going into the maze and forgetting my sense of direction. I find a nice tiny burrow into one of the giant rocks and hide into it.

I looked over my notifications before evolving, I was shocked at the skills the tarantula gave me.

Skill [CopyCat] Has activated

Gained:

(Mana Infusion) [Active]-Lv.3

(Silk Production) [Passive]-Lv.6

(Wall Climbing) [Passive]-Lv.4

(Weaving) [Passive]-Lv.2

------------------------------

Wait, this tarantula knows how to weave? Well, I don't particularly know much about tarantulas, but they do make nests out of their string... I mean silk. I also got Mana Infusion, does that mean I can make things like magic weapons or something.

The tarantula did make a single strand of its silk into mana silk so it must be quite difficult like the rest of all the magic I have practiced so far. The most mana I can withdraw and use in a fight is only 8 points at most.

I have also suffered an injury from the tarantula, but it didn't hurt much and only a little bit of blood came out, but it took a little less than a third of my total Hp. I should stop dwelling on this and evolve immediately.

Well thanks for reminding me that this skill still exists, I don't care if it leveled up, I just want to evolve into the Hellwing Mana Cat!

Yes! Suddenly a familiar white fluid encased my body, illuminating the dark of the burrow. A blinding light leaked out of the maze and entered the sights of the cyclops leader who is still taking his time walking towards Adam.

At first it felt warm and bright, but the next moment the world went dark and my body started to feel pain. It started out feeling like an itch, but soon after it felt like a thousand needles piercing my body along with the assistance of another hundred drills.

I wanted to cry, but my body couldn't move, I had the urge to scream, nothing. I wanted to faint, but I was forced to bear the pain, I felt like killing myself in that moment, yet I didn't have the power to do so.

This… is… the worst pain in my entire one and my current lives. It is so unbearable I would spit out all of my blood in my body. What kind of sick torture am I going through, I don't think that losing an arm would be a big deal in this current moment.

I would do anything to stop the pain, then I felt like I was being dragged, in this void I had nothing to see, but I lost all my senses, but I can still think. Did I go back into my soul form? It hasn't been long and this feeling is exactly like when I was talking with that "god."

This isn't how god treats his subjects, thankfully as I got out of my body, I can't feel the intense pain. I can't feel anything really, then it struck me, more pain, it struck into the depths of my soul.

I felt like a mirror that was only a centimeter away from dropping onto the ground and shattering into a thousand pieces. This is even worse than when I was in my body, if the pain was like a thousand needles and a hundred drills then this is a thousand bullets along with a hundred spears piercing my frail soul.

I felt the sudden urge to kill, torture, the lust for power grew and grew at a rate that couldn't be stopped with my willpower. I was busy dealing with the pain that I don't have any reserve parts for thinking about my changing mood.

I felt like slaughtering everything I see, nothing will be left even if they beg for mercy. Monsters, humans and even my family, I wish to end their puny existences and hear their screams of agony and terror.

What's happening to me, the pain gradually gets worse, my little wisp of self control I have left is almost gone, please hang on for even a little longer. I tell myself to hang in there, but to no avail.

'I will kill, for my lord craves the blood of those who live. I shall serve him and he will grace me with a bit of his power.' A demonic and husky voice resounded throughout the burning hell that I am in.

'The pleasure of serving the lord brings many benefits, just killing a few lesser beings grants us power. He is too humble and generous to all, mortals should bow down to have their lives taken.' The voice came again, but it sounded more feminine and full of ecstasy.

'Mortals should beg to become the food for our lord, they should honor and praise us for the lord's generosity for letting them even step into the world for a mere second.' The voice returned and an image of man in the shadows popped up within my still conscious mind.

He had an incredibly domineering aura that could swallow mountains and rivers if they were even hundreds of kilometers away. He was sitting on a throne on a material I couldn't see, he had one horn curving up to pierce the heaven from the right side of his head.

His eyes are closed, he sat there on his throne in a huge royal hall made of… the solidified blood and bones of those he had slain. Man and beast alike has fallen for this man's entertainment.

Blood stains are everywhere, no space was left out, the bones are covered in dried blood, the walls, ceiling and even floor is covered in either dried or new puddles of blood. His eyes gradually opened to reveal his deathly red eyes, it's even brighter and deadlier than the red sun that orbits this planet.

His dark pupils swallowed all remaining light to make the hall into eternal darkness. Only his eyes could be seen, he gradually closed them and the scene faded away. An existence exponentially more terrifying than cat mom who I thought was scary enough appeared within a flash of a second yet it felt like an eternity.

My soul loosened, I no longer felt pain, all the voices stopped, my soul returned to my body. The craving for killing has mostly disappeared except a tiny portion of bloodlust that lingers in my mind.

Scarlet red flames enveloped the dark void and entered my body, no pain, but pleasure instead. I greedily suck in more flames even if my mind told me not to do so. The flames slowly disappeared as a whirlpool of red circles around me.

As the flames gradually disappear into the pores of my body, I feel it. Mana, I can feel it around me, I can feel everything, I have never felt better. My cat body, more slim, my fangs sharper than even the most powerful of swords, my mind clearer than glass.

I will serve the great Gaia Dragon Lord. For he blesses me with the power to destroy anything in my way. Family, no more, I must slay for the lord.
