The Angel and the Dragon

Lucy stood above the toad's corpse. The large body fell through the rainbow platform and landed in the middle of the battlefield.

But calling it a battlefield was a bit of an exaggeration. The fighting had mostly stopped when Lilith and Adam arrived with the Hippogryph Legion.

Their numbers barely depleted in the fighting on the southern front. Upon their arrival, the northern army broke quickly. With no Transcended left to support them, they had no reason to continue the battle.

The potent, dark green, almost black smoke moved around Lucy's body as she slowly absorbed every drop of the toad's Essence of Life and Death.

With each kill, her power greatly increased, and after killing and assimilating 5 Transcended, she felt extremely close to the next Rank. Unlike normal human Evolved, her evolution had changed with her race.
