Chapter 65: Evolution! (Fixed)
Rocks, blood and brain mater flew in all directions as another Acolyte level Stoneman died.
"BOOM!"
He had just landed in the ground when he stabbed Megaton directly to the ground. The massive blade shielded his entire body as a large stone fist slammed directly into the blade.
Tron's kneels buckled and his body drifted backwards, drawing three deep ravine in the ground as his back slammed into a huge boulder, shattering it to smithreens.

The entire radius of ten meters were covered in white dust of crushed rocks as it shrouded Tron and the surroundings like a plum of cloud.
This gave Tron a few seconds to rest. His chest rose and fell heavily, huffing and puffing as his muscles squirmed with blood spilling out from multiple directions.
Currently, his appearance was extremely frightening.
His dark hair stuck to his face, neck and back with dried blood. Half his face covered in dried blood and the other half in white dust.
His eyes were completely blood shot, filled with tiny veins packed from the edge of his eyes to the center of his pupils, replacing the previous pretty blue eyes with glowing crimon color.
At the edge of his eyes, thick veins spread out like roots almost connecting to his brain, neck and veins.
Terrifying veins the size of an adults pinky finger spread out from his neck, shoulder, chest, arms and thighs, seemingly forming some sort of runic pattern on his body.
His arm muscles bulging making it appear like the size of an adult male thighs. His thigh muscles inflated to almost the size of an adult male's waist.
His muscles vibrated and his pores released hot streams of steam that escaped through the atmosphere due to the intense muscles and cellular activity.
His flesh unable to contain such strain tore like that if a badly worn cloth. Tears appeared on his flesh as his muscles expanded.
At this moment, Tron's body was more currently about two meters tall, appearing quite intimidating.
The fog of white dust faded and the rest of the Stonemen launched their attacks with angry roars.
"ROAR!" "ROAR!" "ROAR!"
They couldn't believe this ordinary human was actually able to take them on to the extent of killing more than half of them.
Staring at the remaining Stonemen Tron wasn't scared at all even if he appeared on the verge of death. He clenched his massive black blade and roared.
However...
"Tron, don't panic." A clear voice rang out, echoing from a nearby cliff.
"BOOM!"
A nimble figure shot up, legs thrusting with force, propelling her like a cannonball towards the oncoming Stone Desert Clan. It was a woman.
Tron immediately recognized her.
It was Seraph, the one who scored second in the entrance exam and one of the top 3 talented students in the first year class.
"BOOM!"
The instant she landed, her arcane tool glowed fiercely as her arcane gloves conjured massive amounts of arcane energy.
Immediately, two large arcane circles appeared as she slammed both her hands to the ground.
"Ivy's Poison Drill!"
"RUMBLE!"
The ground shook in a seismic tremor as ten massive greenish vines emerged from deep underground.
The ten vines suddenly twisted against each other, forming a massive plant drill bits that pierced through the air like a massive earth Auger.
The plant drill attacked the two of the strongest Stonemen, attacking them in a frenzy.
The Stonemen managed to use their stone arms to defend. After more than ten exchanges, with a flash of dazzling green light, the two strongest Stone Desert Clan member's chest was split open by the sharp axe.
Its head was then severed and fell to the ground.
"Roar!"
Several powerful Stone Desert Clan members roared angrily, preparing to retreat, realizing the terrifying combat power of this small-statured creature before them.
"Want to leave?" Seraph's voice was cold. As a Magus, her energy exploded with precision.
Killing these similarly leveled Stone Desert Clan members was like slaughtering livestock sheeps.
"BOOM!" "BOOM!"
Conjuring multiple vines, she moved like lightning. After a few flashes, she directly confronted the rest of the Stone men.
They clashed fiercely.
Boom! Boom! Terrifying combat ensued, blood splattering everywhere. Several Stone Desert Clan members had their heads cut off, limbs flying.
Her skills were so superior that they couldn't even touch her.
"Roar!"
"Whoosh! Boom!" The remaining Stone Desert Clan members finally scattered in a frenzy.
Seraph quickly pursued them.
"So strong," Tron thought, watching the scene with surprise.
In terms of physique, he was much stronger than Seraph.
But their combat prowess was too large. Facing this group of Stone Desert Clan members, he could only result in a battle to the death.
In just half a minute.
Whoosh!
Seraph returned, her body covered in bloodstains, landing beside Tron.
She looked like a war goddess.
"Tron, aren't you going to thank me?" Seraph smiled at Tron, with none of the ferocity from the battle earlier.
"Thank you, Seraph." Tron smiled. "You're powerful. Killing these Stone Desert Clan members is like cutting melons."
"It's nothing."
"They were captured and placed here, without even proper weapons." Seraph shook her head. "If they were real Stone Desert Clan warriors with metal weapons, it would be much harder."
Tron nodded. True.
"Why did you run into the core area of the Stone Desert Clan's activities?" Seraph asked curiously.
"Did I?" Tron was stunned.
He had no idea.
"From here, about 15 kilometers east, there's a large Stone Desert Clan settlement within the area." Seraph smiled. "There are probably over two hundred warriors, with the leader being a Rank 2 Magical Creature."
"Rank 2?" Tron felt a wave of relief.
Level Rank 2 with a punch strength exceeding 20,000kg, was equivalent to a Twin-circle Magus.
Luckily, he hadn't encountered them.
"Haha, it's normal that you didn't know. I only found out after investigating. It was tough to shake off that leader's pursuit." Seraph sighed. "You're impressive too. Without resources or lectures, you can already survive a Magus level encirclement."
"Without you, I'd probably be eliminated by now," Tron laughed.
"Hmph, it's good you know. But there's a cliff about a kilometer ahead. With your strength, you might have escaped." Seraph laughed. "Alright, take a different route to avoid the Stone Desert Clan's settlement. Be careful."
"See you back at school."
"Okay, you too." Tron nodded. He hadn't expected her to stay with him.
Their strengths differed.
Moreover, this was only an assignment, and their goals were to score more points, so splitting up was the best choice.
Watching Seraph leave.
"Seraph is ranked eighth in the rankings?" Tron checked the ranking.
....
Following Seraph's advice, Tron changed direction to distance himself from the Stone Desert Tribe's settlement. Five minutes later, as night began to fall, he found himself on a small wasteland six kilometers away.
"Poof!"
A lynx-like beast fell to the ground with a heavy thud, its throat pierced by Tron's blade.
At this point, the crystal energy had reached its peak and Tron could feel his body healing rapidly as the muscular tears and broken veins healed
[WARNING: Evolution will now begin]
Before he could think further, Tron felt a slight pain in his head, as if some mysterious force was permeating his body from his head to his limbs.
The sensation was peculiar.
He quickly realized that waves of mysterious energy were entering his body, making every pore feel warm.
"I'm definitely being monitored by the school right now."
Without hesitation, he bolted like lightning towards a distant cliff.
Several hundred meters away, there was a small cave beneath a cliff that Tron had chosen as his resting place for the night.
In just over twenty seconds, Tron felt his body becoming increasingly hot.
Boom! He threw his blade , which flew like an arrow and embedded itself into the cave wall and shook the entire cliff with its weight.
"Whoosh!"
Drawing his Space Render Blade, he leaped and sliced through several trees near the cave, cutting them into sections and toppling them.
He quickly dragged these logs to the cave, setting them up to block the entrance.
Tron, holding the blade, dashed into the cave and positioned another log to seal the entrance.
"Even if the mutated creatures come, this gives me some defense and at least a few extra seconds to react," Tron muttered, sitting down heavily on the ground. "Also, the teachers won't be able to observe me directly."
"Status."
