The Greatest Sinner

Boom.

The moment the monster and two newbie magicians attacked each other, a purple beam flew toward them. In an instant, their bodies were torn apart and their lives were over.

<What`s that? >

Evan was puzzled. After the beam had appeared, he became alert and prepared for the fight. It didn't matter who had created the beam, a monster, a beast, or a human, whoever made this attack was insanely powerful.

The young man could only survive because he was behind the trunk of a huge tree, otherwise, he would have been badly hurt by such a powerful shockwave. The explosion was so strong that it destroyed everything within a radius of a few meters and a crater was formed at the point of impact.

Evan knew he had to run, he couldn't beat such an opponent now. But, his interest was too great. Until this moment he had never seen an attack more powerful than this, he was curious whose attack it was. 

Whoosh.

Suddenly a purple bird, about half a meter tall, descended toward the torn bodies. Its wings were wide and looked majestic. On its neck, there were strange symbols that glowed faintly in purple for a while, until they faded completely. The most remarkable detail of this bird was...

<One-Eyed Raven!?> Evan was shocked. He hadn't expected to find a raven here at all.

<Well, stop. It's probably just another one-eyed raven. It`s not the only one in the world. This one's just stronger, that's all.> He quickly pulled himself together, as he should not have acted rashly in a situation like this.

<This raven is a little bigger than an ordinary bird, but its power is extraordinary>.

Evan was sure there was exactly the raven that had released that ray. If it hadn't, another raptor would have come for its prey, but since only this raven was here, the conclusion was obvious.

<These symbols are very similar to those of the "Bloody Berserker". Is it possible that this raven also evolved? I need to check it out>. Evan thought, and his "Warp" spun.

He was going to activate the "Eye of Truth" and look at this raven's "Pillar of Soul". Evan had already had time to look through the book Draven had handed him, since it was small, he easily read the whole thing.

Like Draven had said, Evan didn't learn much new information, but he did manage to pick up a few things for himself. First, he now knew what the mark of the beasts looked like, and also that the "Pillar of Soul" also shows the evolution of monsters.

<When I get back, I'll have to read more about monster evolution. It's a pretty interesting and mysterious topic.>

Whoosh.

Evan's eye irises glowed and at the same moment he saw the raven`s "Pillar of Soul".

<No platform yet, that means the raven has still zero rank, but just as I thought, it had evolved.> 

Evan thought as he looked at the streak on the snow-white pillar. That was an indication that the monster had evolved. When a zero rank monster evolved, the stripe appeared on the pillar itself. But if the raven had evolved at rank one, the stripe would have been on the platform.

<It turns out that the raven is a monster, not a beast after all. Now I don't need to guess, I just need to use the "Eye of Truth", look at the mark and I will understand everything>.

Evan thought as he watched the one-eyed raven devour the flesh of the young men and the monster it had killed. They were the perfect prey for it. They were easy to kill, and their bodies were filled with mana.

<Hmm, its mark looks a little paler than that rat's, well, I don't think that makes any difference. That raven is definitely a monster>.

Whoosh.

Suddenly the raven stopped eating the meat and turned its head toward Evan. The young man didn't expect the raven to take its eyes off the food and notice him.

The raven spread its wings and instantly flew toward Evan. The young man tried to run away, but as soon as he thought about it...

Bam.

The raven's claws stabbed into the tree trunk, cracking loudly, and then the tree crumbled to the ground in front of Evan. The raven was not going to let Evan escape. It looked very menacing and dangerous, but ...

But, the young man was no longer running anywhere. He looked at the raven and said with a smile: "Well, what's up, buddy? I hope you remember me?"

When the raven spread its wings, Evan managed to see a scar exactly where his one-eyed raven had been wounded earlier. So Evan realized that this raven was the one that had saved him a few days ago. Of course, Evan was taking a pretty big risk, because even if it was the same raven, where's the guarantee that it wouldn't attack the young man?

But, he had no better option than that. In any case, while he was climbing over the thick trunk of the tree, the raven would have already attacked him several times. Evan knew he was taking a risk, but his decision to come and watch the fight in this forest was already a risk in itself.

Whoosh.

The raven flew up and circled Evan several times, then landed on a tree trunk. He didn't attack Evan, which meant the monster remembered him. It was almost impossible to see something like that. Usually, monsters always attacked people.

"Great. Of course, it`s too bad that I'll never know why you saved me back then, but at least I won't have to fight you. You're fine and you've even evolved, for you that fight was not only deadly but also successful. You've gotten stronger, monsters really are amazing." Evan said calmly, looking into the raven's big eye.

Evan had only met monsters and beasts a couple of times, but he liked them. Thanks to the case when this raven had rescued him, he felt a strange attachment to this raven.

The purple raven stared at Evan for a while and then pointed by its claws at Evan's hand, or more precisely at his wrist.

Strangely enough, Evan immediately understood what the raven wanted from him.

Whoosh.

His spatial ring glowed and a second later, the "Reverse Death" appeared in his hand. He swung the blade smoothly and made a small but rather deep cut right on his wrist.

"Well, what are you waiting for!?" Evan said loudly, throwing his arm forward.

The raven immediately took off and headed for the young man's bleeding arm. To Evan's surprise, the raven didn't sit down on the ground to swallow the falling drops of his blood. Instead, it dug its beak into Evan's arm, thereby encircling the entire wound.

"AHAHAHAHA, drink as much as you want, let's consider it payment for my salvation." Evan wasn't worried about the lost blood. Raven wouldn't be able to drink that much Evan would pass out anyway. Moreover, Evan still had the pill he had originally intended to spend on the raven. He had no fear of giving the raven his blood.
