the hog charged again, and this time I decided to change my strategy, changing back into my human form and regaining my cargo shorts, all terrain boots, and t shirt I was left with [BP:103/240].
activating evolving siphon the plants around me all withered and died as my bodied radiated a dangerous red aura, my strength almost feeling boosted as new energy glowed into me.
[passive drain boost uncovered- all drained life boosts stats temporarily]
this was gonna be fun.

scaled bear pov....
it had been hours since syn started his masaacre, the start of it was something else, his body no longer human but an odd creature with a ball like body and tentacles, it moved fatser than he did when in human form, extreme accuracy and deadlines in his every move as creatures fell and died in the growing dust clouds.
the black haired girl kina was looking at the scene in amazement while Raya was watching in both admiration and fear, I wonder why?
he was now one on one with a metal plated armored warthog bigger than anything had any reason to be, dwarfing him as he forewent the ball creature and became human again, jumping high into the air and opening wings, dark red metal looking bat wings to be specific, they radiated power as the red light around him grew the more plants died, what was going on?
but as the battle grew it was apparent that the warthog was doomed, it was looking more and more battered as Syn's attacks and strength overwhelmed its armor and cracked it, his fists impacts sending shockwaves through the sparse patches of tall grass that was still alive.
and after what I could only call the most graceful dodging I'd ever seen the beast fell dead, Syn finally overwhelming it, some odd energy flowing from the creatures body into him.

[evolving siphon deactivating]
[level up, all stats +5]
[ability: armor gained]
[ability armorz evolving into the ability elder blood armor]
as soon as that message popped up the metal on the warthog shattered like glass and littered the ground around its body.
I called out to Raya as they were only a hundred feet away and motioned for her to come over.
the trio of bear and girls walked over as I finished siphoning the bodies, leaving only the barren clearing that would serve as a temporary or semi permanent camp grounds, it had running water nearby and wasn't too bad so it should work for a few days.
I figured with them setting up it would be a good time to check out my stat page.

seems good, unlike before I'm starting to get a good amount of abilities, I was slowly catching up to my list of passives.
once I was happy with how things were going in my stat page I closed it and walked over to the group, the bear was laying away from us a bit and facing us, kina was near the bear studying it from a distance, while Raya was chilling in her tent.
choosing a spot on the ground I relaxed as I started staring at the stars, slowly drifting off.

Raya pov...
Syn was out, perfect, time to use my race abilities.
[race: mental vampire]
and one of those was mind walk.
I got close amd put my hand on his forehead, activating the ability and feeling myself drifting into his mind.
what I was met with I wasn't expecting.
a pure white space with a humanoid female figure with no features, just an outline.
[you are trespassing]
"no, I'm here with permission, I've been allowed to see memories and that's it."(Raya) I tried to lie to the thing.
it pondered for a second, before responding.
[anything else and you will be removed,
************
[memories not dealing with the names fog or syn have been locked]
************
images rushed past me quickly as I felt myself losing balance, but an odd platform brought me back to my feet, someone had been in here before, someone who was definitely a plasmas.
it started with an image of a black haired girl and a man, the point of view was from so low on the ground, it moved fast as it slowly went to a larger pov and a girl, another black haired girl but this one was different, the emotions relating to her were warm, joyful, then everything after her was tainted with a cold burning feeling.
then the memories went back to when horned monkeys were walking around, I watched what happens to the girls, I saw the quest and his willingness, I then saw image after image of people dying in the forest, all people who wore armor and had swords, this was a while ago.
then on one day i saw a notification, syn had seen over 15,000 people die, how does someone not come out changed from that, and it would be the last thing I saw as I was yanked out, only to find myself being held by the neck, Syn's eyes glowing a violent red as he fumed, the bear looking conflicted as kina wasn't paying attention.
