Sharpening, Grinding and evolution

In the 4th day of their adventure, Hubert was already fighting with three wolves and was taking the fight easily, he learned how to control each of his movements and predicted all of the attacks coming from his enemies, Hubert countered and performed a series of chops and kicks that slashed the flesh of the wolves, he felt very excited and fought until all of the wolves were dead or injured, after 2 hours of fighting he rested and simulated the fight over and over again.

Having his energy restored he asked Anna to add 4 more wolves in the fight, because he felt that fighting with only 3 opponents is too easy. Anna communicated with the wolf king and sent 7 wolves with the level of squire to fight with Hubert.

Hubert fought with the wolves pushing himself and his adversary to a stalemate with no one dying. But he himself was accumulating wounds and injuries, he recognized that his enemies were really intelligent and saw that the more numbers the wolves he fought the better their tactics became. It was like a hit in run formation, someone would attack Hubert taking his attention and someone else would be ready to ambush him if his weakness was shown.

The fight had lasted four about 3 hours but there was yet no clear winner; both Hubert and the wolves were full of bruises, fractures, cuts, and lacerations. They had already spent half of their energy attacking, dodging and defending when he thought of a concept where he would try to combine both of the forms (mammoth and saber tooth) and will bring forth the best of both worlds

Standing, he circulated the energy in his chest and formed an image of a mammoth, at that instance a tyrannical aura appeared and exploded, next he tried forming the image of a saber tooth tiger and succeeded quickly, aura of silence and sharpness appeared. it seems that it could tear the world in many pieces. When the two images were floating over Hubert's head, the wolves seemed scared and moved back for about 15 meters.

Hubert closed his eyes and tested if he could overlap the two images hovering above him, however he failed. He tried again and again and again and did not surrender, after 21 times of testing he succeeded and created a figure that looks like a mammoth and a saber tooth it also has the height and density of a mammoth yet very nimble, quick and agile.

A tusk curving upwards unto its head was growing in the lower part of the figures mouth, it shows how brutal and murderous it was. And a developing canine could be seen in the upper teeth of the image which depicts how fierce and dangerous it is.

The body of the creature was very muscular and the joints of it were very flexible. Claws are also showing in the creature's feet, it gives the feeling of sharpness and viciousness.

After 20 minutes of waiting the figure was finally complete, it was one of the greatest evolution of mankind, it was the birth of something very powerful. Without warning the figure opened its eyes and it produced an aura of an emperor, it was looking down on every living creature in the world saying "I Am the strongest and the greatest being in the world, who ever tries to fight me would be annihilated".

Hubert opened his eyes and was very proud, he looked at the figure and was very satisfied, soon he glanced at the wolves and said "Anna add more wolves in the group that I'm fighting, maybe around 9 more" Anna followed and sent the message to the wolf king.

The fight resumed and now he was fighting with 16 monsters but he was not scared. Rather he felt very excited and rushed towards the wolves. Hubert showed how swift, strong, fierce and sharp his every move was.

He used a forehand chop and cut 2 of his enemies then charged ahead to another one. He punched and erupted with energy and the head of the wolf exploded, then dashed and fought the remaining wolves using every move he had and directly killed each and every opponent he fought. After 15 minutes, devastation could be seen in the land. Holes and trees were scattered and corpses of monsters were spread in every direction. Hubert asked for another fight but was refused.

Anna was watching in the sidelines and noticed that Hubert had already built a good foundation and was ready to break through and evolve to the next level, so she went and told Hubert to stop fighting. Meditate, circulating the energy on his body following the diagram in the book that she had given to Hubert and try to break through.

Hubert followed her instructions and meditated following the flow of his energy and circulated it throughout his body and he felt something explode inside of him. Elements and different types of energy were being sucked inside of Hubert's body.

A star formation was being forged in his forehead and all of the energy collected in his body converged at his head depicting and forming a diagram, and little by little it is being carved but pain and anguish can be felt just by watching him. He felt that his soul was being engraved by something and he was agonizing, convulsing, trembling and screaming. This was his first time feeling this kind of pain, it felt like being soaked in boiling water and being burned alive in a raging fire.

Within 4 hours Hubert's evolution was completed. he was now in the knights level, his strength upgraded and he became stronger and faster, his reaction speed also went a tremendous change, he can now react with changes in a mere 0.5 seconds, he can also memorize things just by having a glimpse of it.

His soul also evolved making him use the different elements in the atmosphere and these were rare even in the higher planes, usually when someone evolved they can only access one kind of energy or one kind of element but in Hubert's case. it seems like the different kinds of energies and elements was trying to get close to him.
