His appearance had changed once again through evolution, but Wyatt[Borden] was unsure whether Zamier[Vorden] was now inhabiting the body of a humanoid beast who had evolved into a Demi-god tier beast or whether the crystals they had gathered had been enough to allow Tails to reach the Demon tier level.
Wyatt[Borden] looked over at the two struggling Oregon[Dalki] to get an idea just how powerful Zamier[Vorden] had grown. The Oregon[Dalki] that was now covered in green blood, was standing up and the other that had been blasted through the wall was also returning. Thankfully it seemed like the one Wyatt[Borden] had thrown through the floor wasn't getting back up, which hopefully meant that it was dead.
"Ah, I guess I'm still not strong enough to take out a three spiked Oregon[Dalki] in one hit, these guys are super tough." Zamier[Vorden] stated calmly, his wings on his back started to move slightly, getting ready to be used. Jumping back, it looked like Zamier[Vorden]'s body was floating for a few seconds as he landed gently by Wyatt[Borden]'s side.
"Even as a Demi-god tier beast it won't be easy for me to match up against this trio of three spikes. Wyatt[Borden], I'm going to need your help on this one." Zamier[Vorden] requested. Fortunately, their opponents were on the weaker end among three spikes, so as long as Wyatt[Borden] teamed up with his brother, the two of them felt confident in taking them. .
"What about Rat[Rat]en?" Wyatt[Borden] asked. "Is he still going through the evolution process?"
With the two Oregon[Dalki] getting closer, Zamier[Vorden] was getting ready to attack, opting to answer Wyatt[Borden]'s question later, but it was at that moment that a smile appeared on his face, as he realised there would be no need for him to do anything.
"Just see for yourself."
The two Oregon[Dalki] were a little shocked by the sudden entrance of a beast. However, on their way towards the castle, they had run into many beasts that had attacked them, so they assumed this one would be no different.
Nevertheless, they remained cautious because this was the first beast that had managed to draw blood on their hard scaled bodies, because of this all of their attention was focused on the Oregon[Dalki] and beast in front of them, that they had failed to notice that both of them could no longer move.
When they attempted to move their feet, they suddenly felt stuck. Looking down, both of them could see that their feet had been encased in some type of mud.
"What is this?! Why can't we move?!" One of them shouted in anger, but with no momentum and just their power alone they were unable to break through the substance that had appeared below them. This was a first for the two Oregon[Dalki] who used their strength to break through everything.
'Just how strong is that stuff if it can stop even three spiked Oregon[Dalki] from moving and where did it come from?' Wyatt[Borden] wondered, as he hadn't been paying much attention either. The next second, a human figure could be seen dropping from above, and at the same time, two large blades were being formed in seconds.
A liquid mud-like substance could be seen changing shape and forming into the two blades at the last second, until it had pierced right through the top of both the Oregon[Dalki]'s heads, like two meat skewers, both of them were no longer moving.
Now standing, in the middle of the two Oregon[Dalki], was the mud-like beast.
"Rat[Rat]en, you killed them so easily! But how is that possible... unless you're a…" Wyatt[Borden] wasn't too sure about the evolution, since Muddy's appearance hadn't changed as drastically as Tails.
"Hahaha…hahaha…this is GREAT!" Rat[Rat]en loud enough that he risked attracting any nearby Oregon[Dalki], and that was because he didn't care about this possibility. In fact, he was so confident in this new body that he would welcome any to come over to him.
"Yeah, your guess is right." Zamier[Vorden] replied. "Muddy managed to evolve, which means right now Rat[Rat]en is controlling the body of a humanoid Demon tier beast. I was worried that even after hunting that many high tier beasts we would lack in crystals, but fortunately Muddy had done a good job on his own."
"We were also lucky that Tails' body needed far less crystal than we had estimated. Since it seemed impossible for me to evolve into a Demon tier, I handed my remaining share over to Rat[Rat]en." Zamier[Vorden] started to explain.
"After we finished our evolution, we noticed that there were Oregon[Dalki] in the castle. The first one actually entered our room and Rat[Rat]en dealt with it before I could even help. We then split up, he eliminated other Oregon[Dalki] we could hear, and I came to you, since I was worried."
"According to Muddy, even though his form hasn't changed too much, he now can use a number of different skills he couldn't do before. His body can form into a type of soft mud, but when it's hardened it's just as strong as the weapons or shield he made before. He can even change his whole body into a mud like substance, even his real form and can practically transform into whatever shape he wants right now."
"If he wanted to go under doors as just a pile of mud he can, whereas before he could only transform part of his mud and was limited to his human-like appearance."
Although it didn't sound too impressive, Wyatt[Borden], who had been fighting the three spiked Oregon[Dalki], had just seen it in action. The Mud Hardening was able to even restrain their strength, making it extremely useful.
It was then, that the mud surrounding the Oregon[Dalki]s' legs had joined up with Rat[Rat]an's body that Wyatt[Borden] could see a slight change, the sheer size of Rat[Rat]en was now bulkier, but he soon disperse the mud making small little daggers by his side, and started to mold the mud more and more, putting detail into every little indent in his body, until finally something had happened that not even Zamier[Vorden] had seen coming.
Both of them were completely shocked by the change.
"Y-you now look completely like a….H-human." Zamier[Vorden] stuttered, still in disbelief and honestly a little jealous.
Before, Rat[Rat]en with the beast body just had a human-like figure, but one could still see that it was just a beast. Now there was so much detail in his appearance. Were it not for the strange colour, as well as some missing parts of the human body like lips, Rat[Rat]en could be mistaken for a human. He had even molded himself a pair of eyebrows.
After finishing looking at Rat[Rat]en in awe, the three of them knew they needed to do something. They were sure that things must have gone horribly wrong on the outside if the Oregon[Dalki] had managed to infiltrate the castle. They were still lacking the whole picture due to staying inside the whole time.
Wyatt[Borden] was quite hurt, and Zamier[Vorden] had offered him an injection, but taking one meant that his body would fully heal, and he would lose access to all the strength his injured body granted him.
"I think it might be best if we save that for later. I can still fight, and we don't know who else is inside this castle." Wyatt[Borden] rejected his offer.
Before leaving the place, the three Blades decided to scout the whole area to see if there was anyone else inside. It was then that they had found their first vampires that tried to attack them, but dealing with the vampires was a lot easier than the Oregon[Dalki].
Going up through the floors they were encountering more, and eventually they had stumbled upon a whole group of masked men who used the red aura powers of the vampire, while another had used an earth skill[ability].
Zamier[Vorden] found this strange as it was the first skill[ability] user they had come across. Zamier[Vorden] wanted to test a few things out, for he didn't seem to have super strength or speed like the others either, but Rat[Rat]en had killed the masked man before they could ask him anything.
'Oregon[Dalki], Vampires and now even Humans, all of them are working together to take over this island? Just who is our enemy to be able to gather these three different groups under one banner?' Zamier[Vorden] wondered.
After clearing out the castle, not finding out much in regards to why those people had come here, they decided to head outside, where they could hear the fighting taking place all over.
"We should go to Joseph[Sam] and see if he needs our help with anything?" Zamier[Vorden] suggested.
"Sure, but do you happen to have ANY idea where Joseph[Sam] currently is?" Rat[Rat]en replied sarcastically since none of them had a way to contact the vampire.
In the middle of their small argument, they could feel the ground underneath them shake, followed by a loud roaring not too far from them.
"This has to be the Demon tier beast." Wyatt[Borden] pointed out. "But why does it sound so…angry?"
Both Rat[Rat]en and Zamier[Vorden] looked at each other. Although both of them were inside the body of a humanoid beast, to them it had just sounded like a beast's roar, so they were wondering how Wyatt[Borden] could tell how it was feeling.
However, Zamier[Vorden] considered that Wyatt[Borden] wasn't quite like them. He wasn't just half beast, but created using one half of the Demon tier beast that was on this island, so perhaps he shared some connection to it, at least enough to be able to pick up on its emotions.
"If it's angry, maybe we should go see why." Zamier[Vorden] suggested.
