Chapter 538 - Evolution Of Mythical Creatures
"Are those the elves you have chosen?"
Half an hour later, King Jersey stood in front of the elven army, studying the 100 soldiers in front of him.
Erland had hand-picked all the 100 elves. No one knew the elves in the army better than him.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Those elves were all chosen based on your specifications. Their power ranges from peak silver to gold. They have powerful personalities as well as powerful physiques. Most significantly, they have no kin to look after in the Elven Kingdom." Erland aimed his finger at the soldiers in front of him. He took them one by one toward King Jersey.
"Not bad." Jersey nodded and drew the Elven race chess pieces. The emerald green light, which represented nature, immediately attracted the attention of all the elves.
"I need you to help me with a quest. I will bestow the elven chess piece's power to you. This situation will be somewhat dangerous. Can you do it?"
"You can rest assured, Your Majesty. As soldiers, it is our duty to defend the Elven Kingdom and serve the Elven King." The 100 soldiers puffed up their chests and stomped their feet.
"You, take a step forward."
King Jersey motioned for the first soldier to come forward without saying anything further. He held the elven chess piece in front of him and pressed it against his chest when the other party took his steps.
The elven soldier had an enthusiastic expression on his face when he first touched the Elven chess piece. He closed his eyes in pleasure and let the warm green energy wrap around his chest. However, his elation quickly changed to anguish, and the green energy began to boil and turn crimson as well. As it burrowed into his body, it transformed into wisps of hot wind, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
Roar!
After the green energy burrowed into his body, the elf quickly knelt on the ground and let out a wild beast roar that did not look like an elf's ability. His flesh twitched with it as streams of fresh blood flowed from beneath his damaged skin. It grew in mid-air and formed into harsh steel thorns. It seemed like a human body had sprouted jagged monster fangs. It was absolutely terrifying.
While they observed the scene, many of the nearby elves had fled. They seemed pale because they were terrified.
The blood-stained thorns on the soldier's body, which was covered in thorns, were sometimes long and sometimes short. They occasionally touched the ground, causing it to turn crimson and the plants to wither, turning into blood-colored pus with a horrible odor.
"What is going on?"
Why did they become such fearsome creatures after inheriting the elven chess piece's power? "Isn't this the chess piece entrusted to us by our ancestors?"
Many elves talked, and the more timid ones had already covered their lips and nearly vomited.
The elves were a proud and beautiful race. They would rather give up on becoming stronger if they had to adopt such an unattractive appearance to gain power.
"Do not worry. That is merely a side effect of the elven chess piece's power. He will be fine in no time at all."
King Jersey's face was grim when he observed the scene in front of him. He forced himself to ignore it. He had read about the elven chess piece in the archives. He was aware that the entire elven race chess set was capable of miraculous evolution.
Supernatural Evolution, as the term implied, was the ability to evolve, despite logic and common sense.
Some creatures had vanished in the long river of history due to the evolution of the world, while others had survived. To adapt to its surroundings and thrive, a species must constantly evolve. It would be exterminated if it could not adapt to its surroundings. Living in a cold environment would result in creatures developing cold-resistant fur, and living in a hot environment would result in creatures developing heat resistance.
That was evolution's instinct. Some dragons, for example, were born strong, while others were born feeble. That was also the reason why their evolutionary levels were incompatible. Even if humans and other races cultivated to become starlight-tier gods, that was still an evolutionary process.
Did having the power of a god imply that there was a power that could allow life to evolve indefinitely, with the body of a mortal always morphing into the body of a god?
The answer was yes.
At that point, the elf's body, which had transformed into a spike in front of the elves, gradually extended to become a massive iron ball with barbs a few meters in circumference. Its original shape was completely obscured. The iron ball contracted a few minutes later. It allowed him to regain his elven appearance, but his skin had a layer of metallic luster on top of it.
The elf exhaled deeply. He realized that his brow was drenched in sweat as he examined his own body. The surface of his skin had cracked, and blood spilled from his eyes, condensing into a flying blade in the air. It left a deep crater in the ground at a speed that was impossible to notice with the naked eye.
"How are you feeling?" King Jersey's stiff face eased as he inquired.
"Your Majesty, I am feeling better than I have ever felt! When I first drank from the Spring of Life, I was just at peak silver-tier. But now I have reached the platinum tier and have the strength of mythical animals. No, to be more specific, I have become a fabled species known as the blood demon race! I am not sure why, but after taking the elven chess piece, I feel content.
The elf expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation.
Blood demons were beings that existed in ancient times. Their structure was distinct from that of most living beings at the time. Their main body was made of blood. Their brain was not used to thinking on the spot. However, the blood-based bodily structure was immune to physical attacks and had an extremely excellent self-healing ability. Even if it was cut into pieces, as long as one of it survived, it could be recovered by absorbing nutrients.
When fighting enemies, the blood might be condensed into weapons that were equivalent, if not superior, to the user. An extremely lethal blood-soluble toxin was also present in the blood. It was a powerful race in ancient times.
"So this the blood demon race." Jersey nodded. There were records of that mythical creature in the historical records of the ancient elves, in fact, the ancient elves had tried to use the powerful rule power contained in the race chess pieces to carry out several evolutions. They had also recorded the evolved creatures, including the blood demon race.
There were records of that fabled creature in the ancient elves' history chronicles. The ancient elves attempted to carry out multiple evolutions by utilizing the great power of law in the race chess pieces. They also documented the developed creatures, such as the blood demon race.
The elves' appearance resulted from the race chess piece evolving over time. They could live long lives, have a natural affinity, and have a regal appearance. Without question, that was the world's most ideal race. The ancient elf was another race that had evolved into their current appearance. That was why the elf race was also known as the tree spirit seed in ancient times.
"One soldier has already evolved successfully. Who will be the next to go?" Jersey brandished the race chess piece in front of him.
Evolved species could evolve to higher levels thanks to the evolution energy contained in the elven chess piece. The level of evolution was tied to the creature's intrinsic talent and ability. The higher the stage of evolution, the greater the intrinsic talent. One had to be strong to deal with that.
The elves exchanged glances and paused for a few seconds. Then a female elf rose to her feet."I can do it." The Elven King also kept the elven chess piece's power.
The female elf began to roll on the ground, wailing in agony. After a while, the hair and flesh on her body peeled away, revealing red and white flowers that had heaped together. After a few moments, the flowers merged and reverted to the female elf. If one looked closely, one would notice that the female elf's skin had faint flower petal patterns and that there was colorful poisonous gas. A few birds that soared above the branches dropped down and jerked on the ground, turning into a pool of blood, just by dispersing the poisonous vapors in the air.
"I have also become a mythical creature—the ferocious poison overlord flower," the female soldier exclaimed.
The remaining elves gritted their teeth and stepped forward. They touched the elf chess piece while under King Jersey's command.. A stunning evolution was created in the primordial forest in an instant.
