Chapter 115: To the Heart of the Tribe


    —————————————————


    [Excellent. You’ve sessfully overtaken the small city of Samara. Rank is being elevated. Please select an entity to evolve.]


    [1. High-level Demon Mid-level diator]


    [2. Mid-level Demon High-level diator]


    I had a hunch, but it was certainly as expected. Although it bes more difficult to evolve as progress is made towards a high level entity, it appears the experience has been gained as much as possible, and as anticipated. In fact, I wanted evolve twice, but it didn’t seem to work that way. However, another evolutionary iteration took ce, not too long after the previous one. It didn’t feel that bad.


    The problem was that the choices were deceptive. No matter which one was selected, they all seemed to lead to simr results.


    It was difficult to determine whether to upload an entity or upation in order to yield maximum benefits, but having the characteristics of the demon, I’ve decided to pave the way for reaching the high-level demon since I liked the fact that the demon power increased with every turn of evolution. Although the upation rank was a bit low, rtive to the tribe, it won’t end in being an empty shell, if the upation rank was to be raised from the subsequent evolutions.


    As a choice was made, without specifically reading the instructions, I felt the rxing of the muscles that were tense. I also began to feel pain in the forehead.


    I also noticed slowly erging horn, on my forehead, which I felt it to be too big to begin with already. The fangs, although not as big as that of the Orc’s, were slowly growing bigger.


    Finally, as I looked down on my body, although not as much as that of the Orc’s, I felt my body was full of muscles. The inherent demon power has also been noticeably improved. I couldn’t help, but smile as I perceived it as a prudent choice.


    Then.


    “You’ve be stronger…”


    Having finished up, Goff spoke as he came towards me. I, too, spoke towards Goff, feeling upbeat.


    “You also… have be stronger beyond recognition. Goff.”


    He did not respond to myment, but simply raised one corner of his mouth. Now, it was the time to put out my hand. Many stories were shared through battles, but as there were many things to talk to him about, I put out my hand, and Goff sped it.


    Then someone else’s presence was felt. The fellow that was approaching was ck Spear. Goff, too, was looking at ck Spear. The first thing in order was to exchange greetings, rather than looking baffled. ck Spear opened his mouth first, looking towards Goff.


    “Good to see you. Brother.”


    Perhaps, he must have heard me call Goff a brother from a distance. Without appearing puzzled, Goff spoke to ck Spear without hesitation.


    “Good to see you. New brother.”


    A brother’s brother is a brother. Iughed in good spirit and in that short time period, the three tribal chiefs began to move to a new ce.


    The status of the task, left in charge of the tribe members, with respect to locating the survivors in the city. As it was determined that the men in the small city, by all means, must request support to Haddam or other small cities in the east, they had to leave the city as quickly as possible. As a result, the Mev and assassins were moving about very quickly. I, Goff and ck Spear situated ourselves at a ruined location, and started to observe the men.


    The tribe members who were fluidly organizing the area were visible. The most readily visible ones were Gark and Hark. Interestingly, they were evolved into an ancient Orc. It was the prudent choice as they consistently insisted on being in the Orc tribe. As I also considered ultimately bing an ancient Orc, both Gark and Hark would surely enjoy results that won’t be too bad, should they end as ancient Orcs.


    They must be very d to be seeing their brothers for the first time in a long while, as they were working with their mouths wide open.


    “Gara! Please remove the boulder over here. Krrrr.”


    Although it was not a familiar name to me, Gara, the Ogre, must have been close pals with Gark and Hark since the previous tutorial times. What was interesting was the fact that he was a double headed Ogre. He was somewhat smaller, in size, than Goff, but he, too, definitely looked strong.


    “Ah! This boulder here?”


    “No! Gara! The one next to it!”


    “Then this boulder? No. That boulder! Right. That boulder!”


    Even at a single nce, he looked to be very confused. Their heads must definitely be separated into two minds, and watching them talk to each other, I felt relieved to have decided to not evolve into a double headed ancient Orc.


    The Orc warriors and Hob Goblins were all evolved into swordsmen and Orcs, respectively. Voices of Mev, Laggya and Hayeon Jung were heard, but by looking at their unchanged physical forms, it seemed that they may have ns toplete their evolutions, once all the pressing tasks werepleted.


    Turning my sight away from them, I spoke to Goff. I was very curious about how and what made hime this way


    “What made youe this way? Goff.”


    “Krrrr. As a matter of fact, I could havee much sooner. I regret not having been able to participate in such battles from the start…”


    “ ……….? ”


    “Blood Dagger. I realized that I went to the wrong direction, after I ran into a green goblin while looking for you in the west. Although I’d turned to the east immediately after learning that you’ve gone to the east…”


    “You got caught…”


    It was ck Spear who spoke. I, too, couldn’t help, but smile. It was apparent as to why he waste.


    “Yeah. That big Ogre bastard kept me there for a while… He was practically begging me to stay for another day… One day has be two days and three days, etc… Not sure if you would run into him, but I rmend caution when passing through the jungle.”
