Can I Evolve Now?

Feng Hei Lang instantly jumped back. The wolf looked down and hissed as it saw her. She watched its movements and it started circling her. 'I need to get to Kirei as soon as possible!'

She used [Shadow Manipulation] to grip the fox, but it broke out almost instantly. Feng Hei Lang frowned as she went on an even higher guard. Using, [Appraisal], she looked at its status.

[Iron Fanged Wolf Guard]

Beast Level: Rare

Special Ability: Teleportation (A)

Feng Hei Lang felt even more annoyed when she saw the status. 'What can I do to someone who teleports?! And of course I had to encounter a guard. Just what I needed. I need to take down the wolf before the smoke all fades away. Guess I'll leave the alpha to Kirei and Kang Lei!'

She started running away, with the wolf fast on her tail. 'If I can just distract it long enough, the others can take care of this!' Feng Hei Lang using [Dancing Daggers] to launch a dagger at the wolf, but its figure blurred and it was suddenly at another area. 'This is impossible! Whatever I throw at it, it'll just teleport out! There must be some sort of weakness!'

The wolf leapt at her, raising its paw to slice her. Feng Hei Lang ducked and dodged, rolling away on the ground. She started running again, as she thought through her skills. 'What can I use to stop it? Anything I use like [Blood Slash], [Claw], or [Dancing Daggers] can be dodged! What if I try to reason with it using [Linguistics] and [Translation]? I doubt that would work since we're LITERALLY here to kill the alpha!'

She used [Flashing Steps] to dodge another attack from the wolf. The wolf wasn't letting up. It kept slashing at her, until Feng Hei Lang melted into her own shadow and reappeared in the wolf's shadow. She using [Blood Slash], but it teleported away.

[-10 HP]

Feng Hei Lang looked around, trying to find it. 'What if the way the use [Teleportation] is similar to the way I travel through shadows? In that way, they need their vision to teleport!'

She decided to test this new strategy out, but first, she needed to find the wolf again. 'If my theory is correct, the wolf is probably somewhere that I can spot!'

Feng Hei Lang looked around, trying to find the wolf. A crackling branch caught her attention. Her attention snapped upwards and she saw the wolf jumping onto her from above.

She quickly dodged using [Flashing Steps] once more.

Beep!

[Flashing Steps Level Up!]

Feng Hei Lang ignored the notification and focused her concentration. 'I need to create a dome from [Shadow Manipulation] around it. But I have to do it quickly or else it'll just teleport away. I have to form it quickly-!'

She let out a burst of spiritual energy to assist herself. Within a second, a large black dome formed around the wolf. 'With all the shadows that are covering, the wolf can't escape!'

Feng Hei Lang phased through the dome, preparing for any attackers. The wolf instantly launched an attack at her, even though it was super dark. She dodged once more and appeared behind the wolf.

She quickly used a rapid succession of three [Blood Slashes]. Within the small dome, there was no way to dodge all of them.

[-10 HP]

[-10 HP]

[-10 HP]

Feng Hei Lang felt some blood splatter onto herself as she activated [Night Vision]. She saw the dead body of the wolf in front of her as another notification popped up.

Beep!

She nodded in satisfaction. 'Perfect! I can use the evolution stone when I have time now!' She used [Lesser Healing] to heal herself as she pulled up her stat window.

Feng Hei Lang decided to save the Stat Points for later. As she looked down, she could see the dead wolf lying there. 'Wait a second...Isn't this the perfect environment to evolve? There's blood and flesh right next to me, while I'm surrounded by this dark shadow dome!'

She paused for a moment. 'But...Kirei and Kang Lei are waiting for me...But there's a chance I won't get an environment like this again! Screw it! This shouldn't take too long. And the dome should protect me from any wolves that are coming my way.'

Feng Hei Lang pulled out the evolution stone.

[Would you like to use 1x Evolution Stone?]

[Yes/No]

She clicked on "Yes" and a notification popped up.

[Evolution Starting...]

Feng Hei Lang closed her eyes and curled into a ball next to the dead wolf. 'Well, here I go!'
