By the time we hit the ground after a pretty straightforward decision the team seems to have finally relaxed a little bit, but as I was still nervous because I'm sure there's something wrong today we kept running and when we opened up a good distance, we had it. the opportunity to see the lightning storm that formed over the forest that was on top of the mountain.
This storm was really big and it didn't look like the source salt was just an owl, it felt like a mighty scum was fighting my very environment that surrounded it. The black clouds in the sky discharged a great number of rays, but not a drop of water seemed to find from the clouds.
Not only am I the only one who can see this unprecedented and unusual sena, the entire team is facing the chaotic lightning storm that is gathering at the top of the forest. Zephyrus didn't warm the silence and had to put his thoughts into words.
"What is happening? All these rays don't seem like some kind of squabble or fight between magical beasts."
Alice tries to make suggestions, but they aren't quite right.
"An owl must be evolving to level four!"
Alice had to scream because the sound of the rivers is making it difficult for us to hear the other team members even though we are far away from the lightning.
"This can't be right! This type of evolution cannot cause this kind of phenomenon, this lightning and wind storm is too powerful to be formed by an advanced magical beast so at level four this type of storm should mean that a level five magical beast is being born."
"But weren't owls all level three and very few or not even one level four?"
"So, what's going on up there Ulric?"
"I do not know! I can only say that we should keep running away from here I doubt it's safe to stay close to a weird phenomenon like that."
Hilda who's been silent throughout the screaming Alice and Gloria were discussing Zephyr kept a windshield layer around us and his support magic ready to help us all accelerate out of this region of the realm.
Hilda who faced the rivers in the mountain type Her face distorted a little and she went pale, when I was going to ask her if she was alright, I heard her sigh and after that her eyes radiated admiration and fear.
"We have to run from here! She is an alpha beast evolving in that forest, she should have been hiding in the forest for the last few years getting stronger. The group that was taking care of this forest will really screw it up this time."
"Alpha Beast?!"
Looks like I wasn't the only one unfamiliar with that term Alice and Zephyr stopped short, but Gloria went as white as Hilda, the wild smile she'd had on her face before was changed to a look of terror, as if on top of that evolving mountain was the magical beast that had betrayed the end of the world.
"It cannot be."
"That's the only viable explanation, Gloria. The group that was supposed to be watching this forest fucked up, and they're going to let an alpha beast spawn and evolve to the point where I got enough power to level up."
"What is an Alpha Beast?"
"It is a very dangerous form of mutation to exist, an alpha beast can only be born when there is a large amount of the same type of magical beast in a small environment. An owl in that forest must have been fed a large number of cores and flesh of its own kind to transform itself into an alpha beast."
"Is this alpha beast supposed to be stronger than a normal one?"
"The strength of a normal alpha beast tends to be basically higher than the beast's level. In that forest there must be a level three alpha beast evolved to level four, we need to run to the nearest town and alert the capital. The evolution process of an alpha beast is longer than that of a normal magical beast and this should give us a sufficient edge to stay out of harm's way."
"But is it the mission we still have to do, Hilda?"
"Alice, you don't understand, how dangerous an evolving alpha beast is, a magical beast that has turned into an alpha of its kind must not be allowed to exist for a long period of time. That's because we shouldn't let them evolve, even though the chances of it happening are ridiculously small, but when it happens the alpha beast may have the ability to evolve more often and that will wreak havoc on an abnormally large scale."
"Will you ever hear the story of the kraken that destroyed the main temples of the storm and sea gods that stood in mine from the sea? Even the demigods of those times were slain by the legendary kraken who was a magical beast."
I don't remember reading anything about this kraken, but considering that I haven't researched much about what kind of animal and magical beast that live in the sea so it's pretty normal that I don't know about this legend. But if this magical beast was able to bring down more than one strong main temple of gods it must have been an extremely powerful and unique beast.
"I've heard about the kraken before Hilda, but it was a divine beast who was created by a god of chaos who wanted revenge on the god who angered him with his arrogance and crimes. As far as I remember from the legend the storm god humiliated this god of chaos when he mastered the power of the ray of destruction that will weapon this god of chaos, and that not only took away one of the parts of the god of chaotic lightning power but affected his divine domain and so he created a divine beast to destroy the church of the storm god Mirfin who was a neutral god worshiped by pirates."
It seems that Alice knows the kraken's backstory, but in her story the kraken is a divine beast and not an alpha beast.
"This is basically the most accepted and popular version of the story for the temples, but the kraken is a kind of magical beast of the water element that was modified by the god of chaos turning them into a magical beast with the element of water and lightning. One of the new krakens was stronger than the others of his species the god Travos who is an elemental god of lightning caused the whistling kraken to devour the rest of his species and this reformed him into an alpha beast."
"For the god this was a failure because the alpha beasts weren't able to evolve further. He sought help from other chaos gods and together they will allow the alpha kraken to evolve and after evolving once, the gods will continue to feed it until it has evolved from level three to level eight. But the kraken was far more powerful than the chaos gods would think it would be, an alpha beast usually only has the power slightly above its level so that not even another member of its species could challenge its authority as an alpha of its species."
"But after going through so many evolutions the power of the legendary kraken wasn't just one level higher than level eight it was, with consecutive evolutions its combat power higher than more than one level. Because of this a level eight magical beast had the power to kill demigods and countless high-level mages, warriors and priests the kraken destroys it the main temple of two sea gods and several secondary and third temples of other gods, whatever. that was at sea was a prey for the kraken that devoured everything in order to evolve again."
"An alpha beast that can evolve can become a being so powerful that it can even face gods before igniting the deity. Until today not even an alpha beast has been able to become a god, this is because the gods have made an alliance with each other out of fear of the potency of power that magical beasts can achieve when advancing to a god."
"Any alpha beast that is born must be killed as quickly as possible and must never be allowed to evolve to its core. We have to warn the examiners so that times and the kingdom send the elites to kill this magical beast that after advancing will have the power of a level five magical beast, if it evolves again our kingdom would be easily decimated by this owl monstrous."
"Since we don't know how much time the owl will have to evolve to evolve, let's complete it, let's run at full speed to the nearest town. Ulric led the way we can't be stopped several times along the way."
"Okay guys, let's do it."
And just as we started to run, an extremely large and intense flash of light illuminated our faces, when I look back, I see the forest of owls being engulfed by crimson flames.
