Lord Evolution: Starting With Overpowered Sacrifice System

Ragnar's eyes widened. He saw the attack coming. His body moved instinctively to evade, but he found himself moving slowly. The difference in their stats became visible at that moment.

Zane's sharp claws swept past him.

It was over in a flash. Ragnar felt a sharp, burning pain across his stomach. The force of the blow was immense. His feet skidded on the ground as he was pushed back. He stumbled, his hand immediately flying to his stomach. His fingers touched something wet and warm.

He looked down and saw his hand covered in crimson. The claws had ripped through his clothes and left a deep, fatal gash.

A loud, mocking laugh escaped Zane's lips. "Hehehe." The sound was distorted, more beast than human. He took a single step forward, his glowing red eyes fixed on Ragnar's face.

"So slow," Zane's voice was a low growl. "You talked so much, yet you couldn't even evade a simple strike."

Ragnar gritted his teeth. The pain was excruciating, but he could not show any sign of weakness, especially in the presence of this bastard.

He opened his inventory and equipped a healing potion. He opened it and swallowed its contents in one gulp.

Zane's face contorted into a frown. 'Spatial magic? How?'

Ragnar's furious gaze remained fixed on Zane. He equipped a strength-boosting potion and drank its contents. Although the boost wouldn't bring him to the same level as Zane, whose stats were over double his, it was still better than nothing.

Ragnar also equipped the agile boots, bringing his overall agility to a new peak. One that was still weaker than Zane's, but manageable. At least with this level, he could have avoided the injury earlier.

SCREECH! At that moment, Ragnar's undead monsterborn, filled with rage, opened its mouth and released a dark ball of energy towards its opponent.

BOOM! The energy ball struck the wing of its target, tearing a large piece of it. The attacked monsterborn cried as it struggled to maintain its balance in the air.

The other monsterborn let out a furious cry and darted toward the undead one. It began releasing an energy ball—a light one, unlike the undead's—toward the undead monsterborn.

But it was ineffective, just like their previous attempts. The undead screeched, flapped its wings, and collided with its opponent mid-air. Using its sharp beak, it attacked its opponent.

Meanwhile, the monsterborn whose wing had been badly injured fell to the ground with a loud thud, causing dust to spray over a long distance.

A grin appeared on Ragnar's face. "This is it!"

"You bastard!" Zane was even more infuriated seeing how his former monsterborn was beating his current one. His gaze turned to the cause, Ragnar, and rage shone through them.

But Ragnar didn't return his gaze. His eyes were fixed on the monsterborn behind him.

"Come at me, you bastard!" Ragnar cussed as he blasted toward Zane's location. His agility had improved significantly.

Ragnar strode toward Zane. Zane raised his claws and got ready to attack. He didn't even bother to move as Ragnar was still too slow.

Unfortunately, he made a wrong judgment. Ragnar leapt above him, causing Zane's eyes to gaze up to see the moon reflecting on Ragnar's leaping silhouette.

"Blazing Blade," Ragnar's voice commanded.

With his blade engulfed in flame, Ragnar covered the distance, landing atop the gigantic body of the struggling monsterborn.

Not wasting a single second, he stabbed the monsterborn at a vital point that weakened it even more. But it did not die.

"You bastard!" Zane exploded from his current position, blasting toward the duo. His speed was insane.

"Let... go!" His bestial growl escaped. He arrived in front of Ragnar and used his claws to deflect the sword that was about to deliver another stab.

This time, Ragnar did not let Zane get him. He moved away from the top of the monsterborn and landed on the ground.

Zane also flew toward him and sent his claws raining down on him with hatred and an intent to kill.

"Catch me."

Ragnar began fleeing from Zane.

"Come back here!" Zane growled in anger as he began to chase after him.

Ragnar ran in the direction where Noah had crashed, and Zane kept pursuit.

"Static Strike."

Nevertheless, as the two of them were about to cross the building, the cold voice of Noah rang in the ears of Zane. The sound of electricity buzzing quickly followed.

"W-what..." Zane stuttered. He didn't expect to hear that voice; he thought he ha d killed Noah with that attack.

But he was wrong, and he was abo ut to pay for it.

Noah rocketed out of his current position and appeared behind Zane. He clut ched his blade and delivered a sideways slash toward his abdomen.

Unfortunately, he was unable to deliver a finishing blow. Nonetheless, his Static Strike only needed to leave an injury on his opponent to cause paralysis, and it happened.

Zane's steps halted.

He stood frozen on the spot. His body was immobile, but his senses were active. His eyes were now staring ahead of him with shock, anger, frustration, killing intent, and all sorts of evil emotions.

"Got you!"

From above, one would see one sore figure standing, one figure with a glowing blue blade standing behind him, and another with a fiery blade running toward him from the front.

Time seemed to slow down for Zane. The short moment made him realize that he was about to meet his end.

"Die, you bastard!" Ragnar arrived in front of Zane.

With a quick, decisive slash, Zane's bestial head fell off his head and rolled on the ground as blood splattered on the two humans surrounding him.

|| You've slain X1 mutated human, +320 XP ||

Almost at the same time, the undead monsterborn slayed the other monsterborn. It fell to the ground with a loud thud and sent dust flying.

Ragnar and Noah observed the situation with calm expressions on their faces. The stationary body of Zane fell to the ground also with a thud.

Ragnar's furious gaze remained fixed on Zane. He equipped a strength-boosting potion and drank its contents. Although the boost wouldn't bring him to the same level as Zane, whose stats were over double his, it was still better than nothing.

Ragnar also equipped the agile boots, bringing his overall agility to a new peak. One that was still weaker than Zane's, but manageable. At least with this level, he could have avoided the injury earlier.
