After entering the Forest, Cyrus started to search for signs of a pack. Even though he was strong, this Forest was filled with stage 4 and 5 beings, even a stage 6.. he couldn't act carelessly...
Well, in the middle of his thinking, he realized that a body was flying towards him, so Cyrus used [Burrow Tunneling] to avoid the attack. After [unburrow], he was confronted with three peak stage 3.

Well, they are quite weak.. also, I wonder what's that Evolution Ladder... Oh well...
Without a second thought, Cyrus used [Accelerate] and aspired behind the 3.. then used [Flame Spike Launch], which insta killed the 3 of them.. well, they didn't give him much [lvl 9/100] -> [lvl 10/100] / [BM: 8 198 130] -> [BM: 8 199 987] [Host Bloodline got purified by 0.3%], well I need to hunt bigger guys these don't even have a fraction of the biomass that I got from the kings.. well from now on I will go by the name Avon.. should be fine like that.
After that, Cyrus continued his journey deeper into the Forest until he encountered another Group of Stage 3 Dragons.

"Who are you? Also, why are you here?" Asked Azin from Cyrus.
"Avon. I came for the Evolution Ladder!" Said Cyrus to Azin.
"The Evolution Ladder doesn't work; the Kings are in a war with each other; they don't have time to care about such a thing as a ladder, haven't you heard?" Asked Azin wondering if Cyrus was an idiot.
"What war?" Asked Cyrus.
"The Evolution war?! The first king decided to attack the 2nd and 3rd king for their essence so he could evolve into stage 6." Said Azin.
"How can I join the war?" Asked Cyrus while thinking about the sweet XP that he could also get the chance for evolution.
"You can't; you need to be a part of a pack to do that.." Said Azin.
"Where can I join a pack?" Asked Cyrus.
"Come with us if you want to join a pack." Said Azin while started walking away.
After the little chat, the 4 of them started walking deeper into the Forest. After about 2 hours of walking, they arrived at a Giant Tree filled with caves, and dragons were flying everywhere around it.
"This is the camp of Asura's 4th pack. We are living here until we get called by the queen." Said Azin while smiling smuggling.
"How do I get a cave?" Asked Cyrus.
"It's actually straightforward defeat someone from the caves, and u will get his Evolution rank and pack rank," Said Azin.
"Well, that's pretty straight forward. Show me a cave that I can challenge." Said Cyrus to Azin in a not caring mood.
"This way," Said Azin and left towards a cave that was on the top. It was actually the fiftieth cave in the middle of the hundreds of caves.
This cave is the cave of one of the Group Captains. Group Captains can form groups or go hunt alone... it's their choice.

[Name:Axan] [Tittle: Top 40(Evolution Ladder)]
[Hp 11000/11000] [Mana 4000/4000] [Dmg 250 x 2 =500] [Attack speed 2] [Armor 4500] [Peak of Stage 3] [Lightning Dragon Link]
Cyrus used [Smash], and insta killed Axan. At the same time, Azin had a dumbfounded expression on her face, like she didn't expect this outcome at all, originally he showed Cyrus this cave because she was mad at him for ordering her around.
"Well, thank you for the cave." Said Cyrus as looking thankfully at Azin.
"It's nothing." Said Azin Shyly.
After Azin left, Cyrus started doing his training with [Removal]. He started circulating the [Origin Flame Essence] inside his [Flame chamber] from time to time; he attacked the first gate's crack, but it was in wain it kept standing still without any additional cracks,
after few more tries he has completely given up. He started thinking about that system Massage...
System what is my current bloodline purity?
[Host current bloodline purity is :|1.4% / 100%|]
What does this purity do?
[With higher purity host gains Nidhogg bloodline skills]
Why did I get so little bloodline from a stage 3?
[Host Originally didn't race, so host needed to gather a large quantity of bloodline for purification]
How much progress would I get for a stage 4 or higher?
[Stage 3: 0.1%] [Stage 4: 1%] [Stage 5: 25%]
Well, I have no idea how strong are stage 5s, so that I won't bother them. I need to kill 2 stage 4s, and the rest of my XP will come from stage 3 and lower lvl beings... Sigh, I hate grinding the most...
