The sky was clear now, the moons were about to go down the mountains announcing the ending of the night and the coming of a new day. In front of the cave , a standstill was ongoing, Baaz versus the last two Hobgoblins. A tense atmosphere descended as if this moment was special.
A fatigued Baaz was now facing his hardest opponents till now. From their posture,he knew that they were not here to play. They had all their time to analyze him and see how he fought, this alone showed him that these foes were formidable ones and quite cruel at that because he knew that they could have intervene and quickly put an end to the fight but they didn't.He was particularly worried about the shaman, from what his analyze told him, he was capable of using magic which meant he's a mage, a being whose firepower was off the charts which made him hyper dangerous.
Unbeknownst to him, the only reason he was not dead yet was thanks to a certain being observing him from the shadow.

It was the Chieftain that started the fight as he rushed towards the young demon responsible for the annihilation of his tribe. For Baaz, this fight was the payback that he so much wanted against those goblins that pursued him since the moment he woke in this new world, they hunted him and even made him go to unimaginable lengths to survive.
BAM!!!
The two weapons collided and Baaz was surprised to find himself equal in strength with the Chieftain. They were pushed back and a frown soon appeared on the Goblin chieftain face
" surprised, right." Said Baaz.
A mocking smile on his face as he took a look at his status window, himself bewildered by how fast he has progressed. He was already level 45 and his stats were comparable or higher compared to those two bosses that were higher leveled than him.
Once again they met up mid air with Baaz channeling his mana, using to activate the [Axe Mastery] skill. A good fifteen seconds later Baaz cornered the Theft putting him in a very precarious situation. The chieftain went all in with an overhead strike which Baaz dodged allowing to be able to deliver the finishing move until...

The young demon was more troublesome than what they accounted for. The fight was definitely over as the demon was finally getting used to his body and the power that it contained. Even though he was still far from exercising the full potential of his body. His friend had told him about the demon and at first he was disinterested but his opinion changed when he heard about what happened. And from what he confirmed with his own eyes it was really ...
Maybe the demon wasn't that much of a waste. For the moment, he will watch from the shadows.

The goblin shaman was currently sweating, it seemed that he would not be able to prepare any longer and the help he was waiting for was coming he was told. But it seems they would be coming late.
Seeing that his carefully cultivated chieftain was going to die, he actively used his magic and cast [Earth magic Mastery] Earth Spears. He watche as the Spikes pierced the demon and saw him stop his deadly strike.

Blurghh!!!
A mouthful of blood was vomited by Baaz as he felt himself being pierced by diverse spears. These spears were made of earth and he found it impossible to move further as his blood started falling. He turned his head towards the shaman. He had neglected it, fully immersed in his fight against the Chieftain and had forget about the one he considered the most dangerous, the shaman.
With a toothy grin, the Chieftain stood up and came to the demon. He took his club and prepared himself to hit him.
Time seemed to slow down for Baaz as he watched the club close on him, from its trajectory he knew that it would be a fatal hit. His brain started to work at unimaginable speed trying to find a solution. He quickly found one that he did not find pleasant. He was going to release all the mana that he had accumulated which was not much, hoping to stop that strike. But he changed his mind when he thought about the shaman and decided to
Attack instead and for that he needed to be quick. And as if responding to his needs, a vacant expression found its way on his face as his consciousness was pulled away.

Once again, Baaz fell in a profound like trance where he saw himself riding a thunderstorm. Surprised, he froze before finding himself falling down. The thunderstorm moved so quickly that he couldn't have the time to adjust himself. Two giant golden eyes opened and fixated on him, they were ancient and so ethereal that he found the need to avoid eye contact as he the raw and undisciplined energy contained in those eyes. But he did not and it took him all his courage to hold his ground. A few seconds flew by and as if amused by his defiance, a glow quickly flashed in those eyes and a spark flew from them to hit the young demon jolting him awake as the vision faded away.

In the real world, an astonished Shaman quickly faltered as something that was supposed to be real difficult or quasi impossible was happening in front of him. As a Mage, he was more sensitive to mana so even though he could not do anything about it [Revelation ] was happening, as the demon was being revealed something and from the affluent of Electro mana it seemed he was going to be presented to a rather troublesome element. All he could now do was to pray that the Chieftain could slay him before he gained insight into this element.

The club was approaching as the Goblin chieftain adorned a triumphant expression, he was now sure that it was now the end. Suddenly, his instincts flared. He had seen the absent look in the demon face, and he thought that it was him accepting his fate. He was already lusting after his flesh so when he came back to his senses it was already to late as all he could see was a blue light that engulfed him. The decharge of mana was so great that it propagated to its surroundings killing everything in a fifty meters of diameter.
Unaware of what his [revelation] caused, Baaz lost consciousness amidst the fire and destruction. The charred corpses of the two goblins laid not to far from him. If someone was passing by they would have easily thought that he was dead. While he was asleep some words appeared in his status window.
[Ding… You have reached the max level of your rank]…
[Ding… the experience threshold exceeds the limit. Able to progress]…
[Ding… Character has met all conditions for [Promote].
[ Ding... Evolution will proceed, error]
[ Ding... TRUE$$ BERS$#%ERKER have been confirmed, blood essence needed]
[ Ding... Blood confirmed in the surroundings, it will be used as material for Evolution...]
A thin red membrane enveloped the demon as mana and blood rushed towards him. In his body, changes stated to take place.
