829 Divine Flame (Part 1)

As Evan was about to continue with his attacks, a white light flashed, and out of nowhere, a beginner-level rank two elf who had the same deep red eyes as the bulky man appeared in front of him.

After appearing there, the elf quickly looked at Evan with his blood-red eyes and slashed at him using his hand. Evan was already on guard when the elf suddenly appeared in front of him, so the moment the elf slashed at him, he immediately jumped back.

The moment Evan jumped back, a sharp blade made of water shot out of the elf's hand, barely missing Evan who would have had his head severed if he hadn't jumped back in time.

'Why the fu*k are all these red-eyed bastards aiming for my head?' Evan cursed inwardly when he realized that similar to the bulky man, the elf was also targeting his head. After backing away, Evan didn't immediately attack the elf and looked at it carefully.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the clothes that the elf was wearing were tattered as if he had fought against someone not long ago.

Similar to the bulky man, his red eyes were completely empty. He could feel that both of them were still alive as there was still a life aura around them, but this life aura was very strange as if it was being influenced by something.

While Evan was looking at the elf, the elf glanced at the bulky man who had already stood up from the ground. Seeing the bloody face of the bulky man, a gentle stream of water came out of the elf's hand and engulfed the man's body.

Upon being engulfed by the water, the broken nose of the bulky man started to heal, and soon he was completely healed. Evan looked at everything without stopping the elf because his attention was attracted by something.

'Even though both of them are working together, they are not showing any kind of emotions as if they are being controlled by someone like puppets.'

Once the bulky man was fully healed, just like before, he once again shot towards Evan without even looking at the elf who healed him.

Seeing the bulky man coming towards him again, Evan flapped his wings and took into the blue sky. At the same time, his shadow started to shake.

"Brown!" He called out in a light voice and...

ROAR!

With a loud roar, the Bullbear came out of his shadow storage and faced the bulky man. Similar to the Bullbear, the bulky man was also three meters tall, so when both of them clashed...

BooooooooooooooM!

A loud explosion shook the surroundings, and the ground caved in. From the sky, Evan looked at the elf and noticed the elf was looking at him with hollow eyes, completely ignoring the fight between Brown and the bulky man.

For the next few minutes, Evan didn't do anything and just observed the fight between Brown and the bulky man. Of course, he did not forget about the elf and was keeping an eye on him just in case he decided to do something.

"It's strange..." After looking at the fight for a few minutes, Evan said to himself with narrowed eyes as he saw the bulky man's entire body glowing with an unstable hazy red light.

It was clear to Evan that the bulky man was trying to use a skill, but the skill was not working properly, and the aura around the bulky man was becoming more unstable.

"For some reason, the skills of this guy are not working properly and he is fighting just by using his physical strength," Evan muttered in a low voice and glanced at the elf who was still looking at him without doing anything.

"Could it be that they can't use their skills properly for some reason?" Evan asked himself and looking at the elf who wasn't doing anything, he felt his guess was right.

Because of the fight, the bulky man's body was filled with many injuries. Although he was stronger than Brown, it was impossible for him to avoid getting injured while fighting.

But despite the injuries the bulky man suffered, the elf wasn't healing him.

"Just what is going on here?" Evan asked himself with a confused look on his face, not understanding why the elf wasn't healing the man like before.

Other than the skill issue, Evan noticed one more thing.

"Although this bulky guy is a beginner-level rank two core evolver, he didn't use his Zone even once." Evan had asked Brown to fight normally since he wanted to know more about the bulky man and the elf, which is why the Bullbear didn't use his Zone, but for some reason, even the bulky man did not use his Zone.

"He didn't use his Zone because Brown is weaker than him or... Could it be that he can't use it?" Evan muttered with narrowed eyes and sent a message to Brown using his shadow senses.

The moment Evan sent the message, Brown stopped attacking the bulky man, and the next second...

Woosh!

He activated his Zone.

The moment Brown used his Zone, the surrounding area changed. A faint outline of an Illusionary World filled with brown earth energy covered an area of three kilometres. The earth energy flowed throughout the area, carrying a formidable force with it.

Under the pressure of the Zone, the bulky man's body stiffened and he tried to use his physical strength to overcome Brown's Zone instead of using his own Zone.

"As I thought, he can't use his Zone for some reason," Evan said in a voice filled with certainty when he saw the bulky man was not using his Zone to counter Brown's Zone.

"I don't know what happened to these people, but I need to be careful because turning rank two evolvers into walking puppets who can't even use their power is definitely not something a normal person can do," Evan thought aloud with a serious look on his face and looked at the bulky man who was struggling because of Brown's Zone.

"Brown, kill him," Now that he already had basic information about the bulky man, he did not want to waste his time on him so he ordered Brown to kill him.

Hearing Evan's order, Brown's purple eyes gleamed with cruel light and using the power of his Zone, he created hundreds of sharp earth spears that spun above the bulky man.

With a wave of his paw, the hundreds of spears that Brown created started to fall towards the man like missiles. Evan watched everything without any change in expression as he was sure that the bulky man wouldn't be able to survive against so many spears, especially since he couldn't even use his full power.

But, the moment all the spears were about to hit the bulky man...

Woosh!

A white light flashed in front of the man, and a terrifying aura that shook the surroundings engulfed the forest.

Evan was stunned when he felt the terrifying aura, and before he could understand what was happening...

BoooooooooM!

He heard a booming sound and lost his connection with Brown.
