Rise of the White Dragon

The fight went on and on and Maira with her two daughters did a good job killing more than 50 imps, whether they were blue or green. They even managed to kill two red imps.

After that, Maira, Cristina, and Catharina were panting, almost without the strength to continue. The imps seemed to have no end; the more they killed, the more they would appear.

"You three did a great job," Luan said, "You can come back here and rest, now Ingrid and I will deal with the rest."

"Ara, is that so? Okay then, I leave the rest to you both." Maira smiled tiredly. She went over next to them and sat on the floor, almost falling apart.

Cristina and Catharina did the same. "The rest is up to you two."

Catharina lay on the floor while breathing heavily. She was the one with the least strength between them, but she felt that if she meditated a little now, she would be able to increase her strength.

Meanwhile, the green imps were lining up, basically to be eaten by the red imp. It was a very strange and disgusting sight. Because of that, the strength of the red imp that was eating the green imps and even some blue imps was growing.

The red imp flapped his red bat wings and shouted: [Im-Pohhhhhhhhhhhhhng!]

"Now I will evolve and kill you all!" Luan translated, "That's what he shouted."

"Shouldn't we stop him before he can do that?" Ingrid asked.

"Of course not. He is still weak; I want him to eat a little more as it will turn into better ingredients." Luan took the big backpack from his back that he brought with him and handed it to his mother. "Hold this for me."

"Yes, okay. I hope these imps will be of some use to you." Maira had already recovered her breath, and was again capable of carrying a conversation.

"They will." Luan said it with such certainty that it made them all believe him.

 "I kind of feel bad for the imps now..." Catharina chuckled.

"Oh, how about taking one of them as a pet, then?" Luan scoffed.

"Of course not!" Just thinking about it made Catharina shiver. It will be traumatizing to see one of those imps every day.

Seeing that Luan and the women were not paying attention to him, the red imp returned to eating the other imps.

It looked like the red imp was tired of eating them one by one. He started to hold imps 1 in each hand and bite in a way that was quite unbelievable how much his mouth could grow. It resembled a snake that had unhinged its jaws to swallow something very big. The belly of the red imp was becoming more and more like a ball, but his digestion was surprising since it always returned to normal a few seconds later.

"It will evolve into a different species perhaps..." Ingrid guessed.

"Yes, he wants to become a Bestial Imp. The only thing that changes is the tail that grows and the pair of horns that gets bigger. Oh, I think the wings get bigger too, and it becomes gray," Luan explained.

"Luan, you are so knowledgeable, you are really amazing," Ingrid said with admiration.

Luan and Ingrid were relaxed, even as they watched the red imp evolve.

Catharina looked at the two with conflicted eyes as she murmured to herself. 'Luan wants the red imp to evolve, and Ingrid admires him for that. I think they both have loose screws...'

"Luan, are you sure it's not time to kill this thing yet?" Catharina asked, seeing how much the red imp had already eaten.

"Not yet," Luan replied, "Imps do not normally evolve by eating others of their same species; this only happens when they are at risk of being killed by enemies. It is a rare chance to see a monster evolve, and despite it evolving into a Bestial Imp, it won't be quite able to reach the strength of 50 ordinary men."

The red imp has passed the strength of 40 times that of an ordinary man. It was now almost 120 cm. The amount and density of energy within his body was no longer normal.

This red imp usually had some sense of brotherhood, and having to eat the other imps made him cry out in resentment.

[Yooo-hohhhohhhh!]

"That's right. You are eating well." Luan even picked up some bodies of the Imps lying on the floor and tossed them over at the red Imp.

The red imp's eyes widened and became blood green (well, imp blood green).

"Why aren't the other Imps coming to attack?" Cristina was curious about this.

"As I said before, they are smart. Although they only have the intelligence of an 8 year old child at most, they know that they have no chance of winning and have placed all of their chances on the evolution of the red imp." Luan looked at Cristina and explained all this to her.

[Gooipp-oohhhhhhippp!!]

"My God!" Catharina stood up and said, "He's letting out a light... that's..."

"The imp must be evolving!" Cristina added.

Luan had a smile on his lips. He had come here in an attempt to train Maira, Cristina, and Catharina, so he never expected to hit a jackpot here. 'As expected, a Bestial Imp... He's creating a monster core.'

With the monster core, Luan could do many things, as well as just meditate and take the pure energy from the monster core.

The red imp's body let out a green light. His body absorbed an enormous amount of Qi, and his intelligence increased on another level.

His body was much larger than before, 160 cm tall. He had gray skin and gray bat wings, bull horns, and devilish green eyes. His teeth looked like pinecone fish teeth.

"It's over?" Ingrid asked.

"No, not yet. Just a little more..." As soon as Luan said that, the Bestial Imp shouted.

[Gogipppppp-Gooomnghhhhpiii!] (Now I'm going to kill and eat you all!)

"Now, yes," Luan murmured and took action.

*BANG!*

Luan moved so fast he broke the speed of sound, causing a loud sonic boom, forcing Maira and the girls to cover their ears and curse Luan for not warning of this before.

Luan appeared in front of Bestial Imp and threw a punch to the monster's chest.

*BOOOM!*

The Bestial Imp was slammed towards the ground, and fell with a thunderous crash, causing the rocks to fly in all directions and a crater to form on impact.

The Bestial Imp crushed a few other imps in the process, and with anger and resentment, he ate the bodies to heal. Even a red imp was not spared, which was of some help in strengthening and healing the Bestial Imp.

Luan did not stay afloat, since to do that he would spend a lot of Qi, so he went down on the ground, and once again he ran towards Bestial Imp at an alarming speed.

"Luan is really amazing!" Cristina exclaimed seeing this.

Luan, who arrived in front of Bestial Imp once more, launched a kick towards the imp's body and made it float in the air. And before it could stabilize itself, Luan crouched down and built up a boost then jumped!
