Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

"leave at once!"

Rowan's abrupt scream brought back the attention of the two mages currently floating above the battlefield.

Eliman and Dragun aimed their gaze at Rowan, who was currently looking at them with a very serious expression on his face.

"Move as far as you can from the battlefield. The skill I am about to use is very dangerous!"

Rowan barked again, this time even more seriously.

While they wanted nothing but to know what skill Rowan was talking about, they realized the urgency in his voice and exited the battlefield right away.

Black Drifter, who had already finished clearing the flying monsters, also joined the two mages and exited the battlefield.

SCREECH!

GROWL!

The C-rank monsters around Rowan began to attack even more ferociously.

Rowan blocked their attacks and fought back, even though he had become worn out from exerting his hands too much.

"If I can manage to clear the rest of the C-rank monsters by myself. I would have the chance to use the Curse of Death at its full potential on the B-rank monsters alone."

The population of the C-rank monsters had fallen from around five thousand at the beginning to just a few hundred at the moment.

Thanks to his C-rank strength and the boosted damage dealt by the Soul Harvester, reducing their population was possible.

Rowan decided to exercise a little bit of patience and clear off the C-rank monsters with his own strength so the B-rank would be taken care of by the curse of death.

Also, as he wasn't certain about how much area it would cover, it would be better to play smart.

It took Rowan about twenty minutes to finally kill the last C-rank monster, which walked on two legs and possessed eight hands; its body was as tough as a rock, and it took Rowan about two minutes of combat to take it down.

Now that the C-rank monsters were dealt with, only the B-rank remained.

Rowan estimated their population to be around eight hundred.

Although their population was much lower than that of other ranks, Rowan knew not to mess with them.

Unfortunately, the B-rank powerhouse did not share the same thought about him as one of them attacked.

The B-rank monster had a humanoid build but was about thirteen feet tall. It possessed no eyes, its head only had a big mouth filled with sharp teeth.

PRESSURE!

Once it sensed Rowan's presence, it opened its mouth and activated its skill.

Following that, the gravity of the battlefield went up by an unfathomable amount.

Rowan was pressed down by this immense gravity and his movement speed greatly declined.

"Fuck!"

Rowan cursed out loud.

He didn't even get to taste how it feels like to attack a B-rank before learning of their immense power.

Having no other choice.

Rowan activated the skill, "CURSE OF DEATH!"

And it happened!

Time slowed down momentarily.

An ominous sound—unlike anything the world had ever heard—descended upon the battlefield.

It carried the weight of countless mysteries and horrors, defying any simple description.

Sometimes it resembled the wailing of millions of souls, at others the sorrowful harmony of a million choirs singing.

Accompanying the sound was total darkness.

The sky above Rowan became as dark as the middle of the darkest night.

This darkness began to spread with Rowan as its central point — It stretched towards the population of the B-rank monster currently observing the mysteries with their powerful gaze.

Rowan turned his back to his soldiers faraway from the battlefield and realized the darkness was also spreading towards them.

This caused his eyes to widen.

"No, not them!" Rowan screamed in his mind.

Fortunately, he quickly recalled that the rules of the skill stated that the area of effect depends on his power.

Rowan placed all his focus on the current skill he had activated.

With sheer willpower, he forced the darkness stretching towards his soldiers to halt.

At the same time, he accelerated the darkness towards the monsters.

In less than ten seconds, the entire B-rank monster population was trapped in the darkness.

The monsters who were used to fighting in the dark felt the oddity of this darkness. It was nothing like they had ever seen or felt.

For the first time, they felt extremely weak in the dark!

"Now!"

After the darkness had covered the B-rank monsters completely, Rowan barked and hurried the final stage of the curse of death.

At that moment, a gigantic holographic being appeared over the B-rank monsters.

It was completely shrouded in black, misty robes that fluttered menacingly in the darkness. A gigantic scythe that oozed with death was grasped in its hands — It resembled the biblical Grim Reaper.

Its appearance sent fear and horror into the hearts of the onlookers.

Some of the villagers who were currently staring out their windows, spotted the mysterious figure and froze on their spot.

The soldiers who were standing at the entrance of the village quickly fell on their knees in fright.

Eliman, Dragun and Merla were terrified beyond comprehension.

They stood, frozen as their eyes fixed on the horror that had descended over the battlefield.

At this moment, the only human who managed to keep his composure was Rowan, and even he had a puzzled expression on his face.

Meanwhile, the monsters stood beneath actual death.

Once they noticed its presence, their carnal nature began screaming at them to run as far as they could.

The monsters began shrieking and letting out other cries of fear that quickly created a cacophony of noise.

They wanted nothing at this moment but to escape their fate.

But it was too late as they were already in the grasp of death, a state where escape was impossible.

Under the frightful watch of everyone, the gigantic Grim Reaper waved its massive scythe and everything took place in the blink of an eye!

Following a strong wave of ominous aura, the entire population of the B-rank monsters collapsed!

Following the death of the B-rank monsters, both the Grim Reaper, the darkness and the cacophony of ominous noise, disappeared.

Light returned everyone.

But unfortunately, it was unable to wash away the darkness left by death!

In less than twenty seconds, the entire population of the monsters — one that would take several weeks for one hundred Rowans to defeat — was slaughtered easily.

Even though Rowan expected something like this, he was still baffled by the extreme simplicity.

Not just that, the amount of evolution points and notification he received shocked him greatly.
