I Shall Evolve Everything-Chapter 79 Failure?

In front of me were 20 well armed and armored elves. The only reason I knew they were elves was because of the others that I had found.

They were that well armored. Covering their whole body including their head was a silver colored suit of armor. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

The chest, legs and arms were covered in silver like metal while their limbs were covered with some cloth like material.

The weird thing was that they had a large metal collar that completely covered their neck.

If my spear wasn't able to cut through their metal like nothing it would have been a hard battle, I would have had to cut through the weak points of their armor hoping they would bleed out from a cut off arm.

However that wasn't even likely given their inherent regeneration. We had never confirmed if it was something that higher tiers have or if it was something innate to the elves but either way it was an unknown.

Luckily my spear thrice reinforced was able to cut through their armor like butter so there was no need to worry about their armor.

It had barely taken seconds to analyze them but by the time I had they were already making a dash towards me, surprisingly agile with the heavy armor covering them.

I got back into my combat stance ready to attack at any moment.

They all reached me at the same time with teamwork that I had not seen in any of my previous battles.

I didn't let that get me off guard as I was expecting at least this level of teamwork.

Seeing as they had all come from one direction I performed a sweeping slash putting all my strength into it.

They inevitably dodged but hitting them wasn't my intention.

*WOOSH*

The air was cut and a wave of dense air was let loose, throwing them onto the ground. Before they could react I pounced. Instantly my spear was in the heart of one of them killing him instantly.

However by the time that I had done that they had all recovered from the shockwave and were back up.

I could feel the hate flowing through them as they saw the lifeless corpse of their ally.

They were composed though, they didn't let the death of their ally get to them. Instead they used that anger to fuel their attack.

With even more speed than I had thought they could muster even knowing how fast they could go, one of the soldiers that had not taken the death well shot towards me.

However by doing that he left the protected range of his allies.

That left him alone which let me get an attack off on him.

It seems that this was the one who had their sword broken by me as he tried to block my attack with his hand.

It worked however now his hand was cut off and my spear was poised to circle back and cut him in half.

I could see the widening of his eyes in his helmet. It seemed like he wasn't going to go out without a fight as he instead of retreating or even trying to move, grappled me with his remaining hand.

I saw him gesturing with his head towards his comrades but I was too busy trying to get out of his grip to see what they were doing.

*PIERCE*

Pain, it hurt so bad. The one that was grappling me finally let go and I fell to the ground. I looked down and saw that a sword sticking through my abdomen. I was lucky that it hadn't pierced my heart, if it had I don't know if I would still be alive.

Even though I was in immense pain I had to ignore it, I had felt this pain before when I first evolved and it was much worse. So even though my body felt like it was paralyzed by the pain I ignored that instinct to just stay still and pulled the sword out.

My vision was quickly fading but I had to do this before it was too late.

I brought a hand to my abdomen, to where the wound was and channeled an immense amount of aether.

Green light consumed the wound and once it left there was only pink skin left laying there.

…

With a snap of my finger the enemies surrounding Darwin were erased from existence, their bodies turning into little notes of golden light.

Immediately I was at his side but I didn't heal him yet.

I knew that a tier 5 like Darwin could survive like that even without healing. A regular tier 5 would be cripple for months while their body recovered but they would heal.

I could heal his body with a flex of my will, erasing the wound from existence but I didn't, the constant damage and healing had a tremendous effect on Darwin's body even if he didn't know it yet.

Each time that he had healed himself, Darwin thought that it was just his aether doing the healing but that wasn't the truth. It was that his aether was stimulating his body's natural recovery and evolving it at the same time. That meant that each wound would only serve to make him stronger.

Looking down I saw Darwin with his last fragments of strength pull out the sword from his torso and start healing himself.

It took a couple of seconds but soon the once bloodied skin was gone and replaced with pink skin freshly healed.

After Darwin had healed himself he passed out. I didn't let him fall, instead I picked him up and teleported to where Aoif was bunking. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

I didn't let Aoif get a word in before I had grabbed her and teleported us back to Darwin's territory.

…

Once we were back I gently laid Darwin and Aoif together in their bed. Aoif was glaring at me asking for answers.

It was only natural seeing that I had suddenly appeared with an unconscious Darwin then immediately teleported us back home without any time to allow for questions.
