Beast Evolution

His axe was still in his hands as he looked forward, someone was standing in front of him, someone different, someone new, someone dangerous was in front of him.

"Who are you?" Ian asked the crimson-haired figure in front of him.

"Kaan..." he simply said.

"Huh...what are you saying boy, were you hiding your strength this whole time" Ian shouted angrily and charged forward.

"Boy! I'm thousands of years old" Kaan also dashed forward.

Earlier Ian was much faster than Ray that he was barely able to avoid an attack, but now that Kaan was in control, he moved with a speed greater than Ian.

Ian was the first to move but both of them clashed in the middle, one of Kaan's blood spears appeared in his hands as he blocked an attack from Ian.

*Clang*

Both of their weapons crashed against each other and both of them struggled to push each other backward.

'Woah, you are much faster than him' Ray spoke.

Kaan was the one in control and Ray could speak to him, the seal was now broken but instead of Kaan taking over the body they merely switched places.

'I'm much faster and stronger than you could ever imagine' Kaan spoke.

"Haaa..." Ian shouted as he used his strength to push Kaan backward.

Kaan stumbled backward with a smile on his face, instead of attacking he slowly stepped back away from Ian, even Ian was confused because he knew Ray was different from when he fought him earlier.

"Now that I think about it, that kid is supposed to be dead, I'm clearly sure I got him" Ian mumbled.

As Kaan took over Ray's body, he kept Ray's human form but the color of his eyes and hair was transformed to crimson.

'Kaan what are you doing?' Ray asked.

'I need the second spear, I can't battle effectively with just one of my spears'

'The second spear isn't coming back, I'm sure it's sealed somewhere, that guy that we defeated probably sealed it somewhere'

'Then we're going to get it' Kaan said.

'Huh... didn't you hear me, his plan was to teleport us over there so he could deal us there and I managed to escape, and now you want us to go by ourselves'

'I'm going to break the seal so don't worry' Kaan said.

"What did you do to yourself?" Ian asked.

"What do you mean, do I look different" Kaan spoke.

"You are that kid back when we attacked Avalon but your hair is different and you are quite formidable, how come you are stronger when you are human," Ian said as he stepped forward.

"Who told you I'm human," Kaan said as he pierced the ground with his spear.

"Are you going to fight without a weapon, that's bold considering you are going to die soon, this time I'll cut your limbs one after the other" Ian snorted.

"Then give me a minute, I'm going to check on something," Kaan said as he teleported towards his second spear.

Ian looked around searching for Ray but he was nowhere to be found, Ian grunted and looked toward the knights, his thought was that Ray escaped so was going to kill all the knights and meet up with Draco and Vaan.

'Where are we?' Ray asked as Kaan looked around.

Ray could see exactly what was in Kaan's field of vision, and they were in a dark cave, Ray could see because of his night vision and Kaan was able to see in the dark.

Kaan was standing on a straight path with only one way, behind him were huge stones that covered the other path.

'It doesn't matter, we found the spear so it's time to head back before that bastard causes any more destruction' Kaan said.

Strange sounds echoed throughout the cave but nothing was in sight, both of them knew exactly why Vince chose this spot, he must have prepared it for anyone he was going to teleport, Instead of fighting them he would just teleport them here and let the beasts here take care of them.

'We're leaving' Ray said.

Kaan kept the second spear back on the battlefield so he could easily teleport there after retrieving his spear.

'Kaan, what are you doing, teleport back we have to take care of Ian' Ray sneered.

'That's not the problem here, we can't teleport back, something is blocking my powers' Kaan said.

'That is exactly what I told you, that bastard must have a reason for trying so hard to bring me here, Draco must have placed a barrier around the cave'

'Then we need to find a way out' Kaan immediately began to move forward.

As they move forward the sounds got louder till they got to a large room, red crystals were itched in the walls of the room and a strange beast was at the edge of the room.

'Okay okay...do you know what that is?' Ray asked.

'A fire-breathing salamander...'

'Fire what!!'

'It has an affinity to fire, these salamanders are really rare and extremely powerful, I doubt that guy was able to take this beast' Kaan said.

'Maybe they didn't attack it, it's not infected so I'm sure they didn't battle it, it's sleeping so we should just carefully move away' Ray said.

*Ding*

[Quest triggered]

[Defeat Flame salamander]

[Reward: Fire affinity]

The system interface came up and Ray saw a quest, Kaan was in control of Ray's body but he couldn't see the system as it was exclusive to Ray alone.

'An impossible quest and a really nice reward, too bad I can't complete the quest, I would have loved to add fire attribute to my spells' Ray thought to himself.

Kaan was still looking around trying to find a way out of the room they were in but he couldn't find a single path out, the cave was completely sealed.

'I'm not sure there is a way out of here' Kaan said.

'Maybe you should kill the salamander' Ray suggested.
