Chapter 198: Chapter 197: Race Evolution

===Adriana narrowed her eyes reading these messages, she is starting to get angry, but waving her hand, she opened the portal to the Scenario Dungeon, where she will evolve her race!

Adriana slowly opened her eyes, where she began to cough and feel nauseous.

BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!

A huge crash sounded, then a shock wave engulfed Adriana, hurling her away and soon she was slammed into a wall.

"Argh~ son of a..." - Adriana growled while on the ground, but soon analyzed her environment, finding corpses around, many firearms.

She looked around, picking up several cartridges, picking up weapons and seeing that they were all in good working order.

Adriana also took some grenades, she tried to circulate her Mana and she couldn't, she didn't feel a drop of Mana inside her body!

Not to mention her strength, it seems strange, she tried to open her Status, but something different than usual came up:

Human (Inferior)

Strength: D+

Agility: E-

Resistance: D+

Mental: E

Power: E

Adriana frowned at this, getting confused, but soon another explosion sounded and finally she decided to go to one of the doors, entering a hallway.

Armed, she analyzed the environment, until she found a fallen man, a huge hole in his chest, ahead of her, a glowing cube.

"So you're alive" - He said weakly, Adriana approached and said nothing.

"I wanted to be the hero, but in the end I was not compatible with the primordial gene soldier, take it and complete your genetic base if you succeed, you will become stronger and you can help humanity!" - Said the man in his last breath.

Adriana looked at the cube, picking it up and finally the System showed itself!

[Starting Race Evolution Quest!]

[Title: Race Evolution]

[Type: Combat / Gathering] [Difficulty: Red]

[Content: You are a small officer of one of the last armies of humanity, in your hands is the Cube containing the Primordial Gene, but due to the failure of its predecessor, much of its data was wasted, if you want the opportunity to survive to this hell and overcome it, complete the remaining genes with the blood of the invading creatures!]

[Note: Your bonus will depend on the type of gene chosen!]

[Progress: 0%]

[Reward]

- Race Evolution!

Adriana read its content, getting thoughtful and something flashed in her vision, Adriana approached and picked up what looks like a cell phone.

The cell phone was unlocked and its content was very intriguing, showing the appearance of various creatures, along with information about their type, such as Strength, Agility, Resistance, Mental Damage and etc.

She read a bit, understanding that she will have to hunt the creatures down and let their blood flow into this cube.

"Okay, let's see how it goes!" - Adriana said smiling slightly and looking around for anything useful.

But not finding anything too much, Adriana finally followed the corridor to leave the place, finding a staircase that leads upstairs.

Finally Adriana saw that she was in a kind of military base, a heavy firefight taking place, where demonic creatures are flying over the skies and being shot at.

From several overturned fences, beasts with thick carapaces, some resembling large crabs, others being a type of feline with scales.

Hundreds of people were desperately fighting, there are also some soldiers wielding bladed weapons and going head-on against these beasts and gaining some advantage.

Adriana pulled the trigger on her rifle, then scanned the creatures ahead, only to

[Ancient Pterodactyl(C+) Agility]

[Dragon Tiger(B-) Strength and Stamina]

[Grotesque Beast(C) Resistance]

A lot of information appeared before Adriana's eyes, understanding that she didn't need the cell phone to know the name and what advantage the creature would give her in her evolution.

Understanding this, Adriana first decided to try to kill something of Rank D, smaller and skinny creatures, named Merfolks, had fish heads and held tridents, they were being easily killed!

"Sergeant Scarlet, where are your troops?" - Asked an officer when he saw Adriana approaching.

"Dead!" - Adriana said, aiming and shooting.

"Lieutenant Izaias failed to evolve?!" - The officer frowned.

"Not! I have the Primordial Gene Cube, I need to reset the genes to try!" - Adriana said seriously.

"Did you take the compatibility test?" - Asked the officer and Adriana nodded.

The officer then said. - "Well, we will be supporting you, we will also send someone to try to collect some C and B Rank corpses, we need all possible support!"

Adriana was surprised by the cooperativeness, but understood that people using bladed weapons instead of firearms are the main combatants and probably those who suffered from evolution as well.

She didn't ask questions or hesitate, but fired at the Merfolks, precise shots, until the corpses began to be dragged towards her and Adriana threw the cube.

Soon she saw the cube cast a bluish light over the corpses and they began to disintegrate, whereupon the percentage of the cube began to increase!

"Lieutenant! A Rank B Bone Demon has been slain, its corpse is already being moved, head to the west front!" - Said a panting soldier.

Something flickered in Adriana's vision and she knew where to go.

"OK!" -Adriana said and she already started running, nobody stopped her, there was no reason to.

Adriana also noticed that she wasn't doing much, she just has to collect corpses and not die, which is pretty simple.

And so Adriana ran to the front line west of the camp, where mortars were being fired wildly and destroying a horde of ferocious beasts, who would stop at nothing.

A soldier came up to Adriana, seeing the cube at her waist, quickly guided her to a huge and broken corpse, a humanoid creature with white skin and several bone spikes coming out of her body.

Adriana threw the cube, which soon disintegrated the corpse, only to increase her progress by 4%, bringing her total to 18%, 82% to go!

"ANOTHER!!!" -A scream came and soon a rhinoceros-like figure came towards her, frantically ignoring the explosions, going to the defensive line.

Looking at this, Adriana started shooting, proving to be very ineffective, but she couldn't hurt to try and for some reason she became the creature's target.

"I TAKE CARE OF THIS!!!" - Another scream came, when a figure fell from the sky straight into the rhino's neck, a blade cut and more than half of the neck was cut.

In moments the huge beast fell, about 15 meters away from Adriana.

A tall, muscular man drew a massive sword from around the creature's neck, laying it on its shoulder.

He then looked at Adriana. - "Hi cutie, dinner for you, just missing the wine!" - Saying in a flirtatious tone, the man winked before returning to the front line.

Adriana went to let the cube devour the corpse, only 2%, 80% to go.

Taking a deep breath, Adriana started running to the other battlefields, in search of corpses, even though so many creatures were being killed, the cause is mainly the explosives, that's why she can't collect the corpses correctly.

Something curious was what a soldier said.

"Shit! If not for the eastern warehouse being taken over, we could have completed the Primordial Gene right away!"

Adriana didn't ask why, but she believes it was the warehouse for the monsters' corpses.

Taking a deep breath, Adriana wanted to know more, just knowing it's in the east doesn't help and given the rate of progression, it will take forever.

And from what she can see, in 1 or 2 hours, all troops will be at their limit and she still wouldn't have completed 100%.

What's worse is that she can't do much, even though she has high stats, she doesn't have the confidence to go head-to-head against these monsters, as it's certain that C-Rank and above are Tier 3.

"If I keep waiting, I'm likely to die, but I don't have the strength to kill them, I could try asking one of those frontline warriors for help, but they are having their trouble dealing with the strongest and most troublesome beasts" - Adriana was thinking about how to solve this.

She saw the 37% complete, still a long way to go!

Adriana soon made her way to the main tents, where she found the camp's top officers there, handling strategy and troop deployments.

"Sergeant Scarlet, what brings you here?" - Asked an officer seriously.

"Commander, as I see it, I won't be able to complete the Primordial Gene before the worst happens!" - Adriana said seriously.

"What nonsense are you talking?!" - An officer yelled irritably.

"Our troops are exhausted and our main forces are barely standing, but they continue to fight fiercely, the Cube containing the Primordial Gene is our only chance of victory, but we can't get enough efficiency in collecting corpses!" - Adriana said calmly.

The commander screamed at the noise. - "SILENCE!" - She looked at Adriana and asked. - "What do you propose?"

"The corpse store to the east, we need it, as the creatures are focused on annihilating us and destroying the Primordial Gene Cube, we need to make the most of what we have, utilize the corpses stored and use the cube on all those who had a result positive in the compatibility test!" - Adriana said calmly.

"So you are proposing a group to break into the taken warehouse?" - Asked the Commander.

"Yes ma'am!" - Adriana said out loud.

"This is nonsense, this is our last Primordial Gene, if we lose it, it will be the end!" - Shouted an officer hitting the table.

"Exactly! We can hold out until another Awakened comes along, it will help us a lot and we can wait until another one shows up!" - Said another officer.

The atmosphere became heated, but the Commander ignored everyone, looking into Adriana's eyes, she let out a deep sigh and said. - "Well, immediately prepare a group of our best men, as well as prepare all the explosives, let's bomb the way to the warehouse, we need to gain as much time as possible!"

"But Commander-"

"Our soldiers are exhausted Lieutenant! We need as many Awakened as possible, we can't settle for 1 or 2, many will die, but for everyone's survival, we have to make sacrifices!" - Said the Commander fiercely.

And immediately a group began to form, with all those with high compatibility placed in the center and surrounded by soldiers and a few Awakened.

Everyone took energy supplements and at that moment someone approached Adriana.

"It's finally your turn, we don't have to wait for those damn contacts anymore, if it weren't for those shits, we could be so much better!" - Said a soldier spitting on the ground.

And with that Adriana soon understood, her officer, who failed in "Awakening", should have moved to the front of the priority queue, but in the end he failed.

Talking, Adriana learned that she was in 5th place in the priority queue, but it turns out that the 4 in front ended up dying in combat in the last few hours.

And gradually she learned that she and others were already known to have good bodies and some B+ and even A- Rank monster corpses were being prepared for their "Awakenings".

Soon, loud sounds sounded from the skies and soon, continuous explosions came from the east, as well as from the entire combat line, killing who knows how many enemies!

It was at that moment that the unit of almost 100 soldiers ran through the flames and deep holes.

For a while, there was silence, the bullets stopped, but soon the hail of gunfire resumed, along with the furious roars of the beasts, which began to besiege the group.

On other battlegrounds, the amount of enemies was decreasing, as most were being attracted by the Primal Gene Cube!

That's why they were rushing where the main camp was giving as much support as possible, even setting fire to the forest to buy as much time as possible.

Adriana then turned the brave Awakened, wielding their high-tech weapons and tearing apart their enemies.

Many corpses were made available, Adriana making the cube devour them in moments, but only for those of Rank C- and above, the rest were ignored so as not to waste too much time.

In this way they soon arrived with few sacrifices, until the camp was destroyed, but their objective was a huge hangar, which was modified to become a warehouse.

The hangar was destroyed, but not entirely and so, opening the way while a horde chased them, Adriana kicked the door and that way she could see corpses scattered along the stone and ceiling!

"There!" -She shouted an Awakened beside her, pointing to a corpse of a huge Green Turtle.

"Not named, but must be Rank A at the very least, use it for your awakening as we need someone defensive the most!" - Said the Awakened seriously.

Adriana nodded, running over to the corpse as explosions sounded outside.

And reaching the turtle's corpse, she noticed that she was practically alone... she looked around.

[Jade Turtle(A-)], [Butchery Vulture(B+)], [Flaming Chinchilla(B-)]

Many creatures, but among them, there are 3 of Level A, namely: Jade Turtle, Dire Chimera and Molten Baboon.

Adriana didn't hesitate to devour the 3 with the cube, achieving a huge percentage and decided to complete it with the Rank B ones around.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" - A furious roar came, Adriana knew she was discovered, but she looked at the cube.

The cube that had an intense glow, soon changed shape in one of the parts, having sharp points and a circle.

Ignoring who approached, Adriana pierced his chest in the area of his heart with it.

Soon her eyes widened and something was injected into her body, veins popped all over her body and excruciating pain overtook her.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

Adriana let out a high-pitched scream as she dropped to her knees and began writhing on the ground, as she growled ferociously, as amidst her pain, a puzzle of sorts popped into her mind.

She didn't understand due to the pain, but soon found that she should fix it, her instincts told her, so she did, mentally adjusting the pieces and little by little discovering that there are repeated pieces that are different.

'I see... this is a fucking genetic puzzle... shit~ I'm creating my evolution with the genes of dead creatures as a base!' - Adriana snarled fiercely as she continued to ride her evolutionary path.

She found this very puzzling, the problem was the pain, getting intense by the second, but she persevered, thrashing about as she continued to structure her gene.

And finally, deciding the [Jade Turtle] gene as the main, last piece.

And as soon as she did, the pain disappeared, everything went silent, as her fiercely body began to convulse and thrash wildly, her bones cracking, her skin tearing, but in moments regenerating! seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

ROAR!!!

A ferocious roar reverberated and caused the entire surroundings to shake.

Soon a green energy circled Adriana, followed by an intense wave of heat and soon Adriana was on her feet, being half naked, with only her military pants.

Gritting her teeth and huffing, Adriana listened.

[You have successfully evolved your race!]

[You have awakened your unique race trait "Molten Jade Body"!]

[Molten Jade Body: Manipulate the Jade Energy generated from your body to materialize powerful and extremely durable defenses, along with a scorching field and light attack capabilities using high temperatures!]

Adriana snorted, several eyes on her, then she inched outside, stepping out and feeling her changes.

Soon a pterodactyl came from the skies falling on her, opening its huge mouth, which Adriana received with bare hands, without moving a single step!

Then the air vibrated and twisted, the creature's body began to emit smoke, and then Adriana blew into the creature's mouth.

BOOM!!

The creature exploded, Adriana smiled, because this is fucking amazing!

"YOU BITCH!" - A thunderous roar came from behind, Adriana ignored.

"What is it Sergeant?" - Asked a soldier.

"She used all the Grade A corpses to evolve!" - The sergeant roared furiously, which made Adriana become the focus of attention.

Even if some are furious and displeased, those who are more knowledgeable have noticed something, if she awakened with 2 or more A Levels as materials, it means that she might be one of the most powerful Awakened!

Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!

Sharp sounds rang out as a barrage of thorns descended on Adriana and those around her, but soon her green aura spread out and seemed to take on a more solid form.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

All the thorns were stopped by the green energy, Adriana didn't feel pressured and just smiled, she finally feels like she's getting stronger!

...

The surroundings froze and Adriana was on her feet, countless corpses melted around her, soldiers with the Primordial Gene Cube desperately trying to collect the corpses.

[You completed your mission!]

[You have evolved your race to "Uncommon"!]

[Bonus: +1500 HP, +500 MP & SP & +10 RES, +8 STR, +4 INT & +3 AGI]

Adriana smiled, this is something incredible, the bonuses are equivalent to 25 levels, except for HP, MP and SP, because the bonus is much higher than that, but it doesn't matter much.

The important thing is that Adriana has completed her race advancement and as such, she has become much more powerful, looking forward to the future!
