Chapter 188 A Leap toward Evolution
Rain focused his energy, pouring Evolution Points into Chick and Chill.
The moment he triggered their upgrade, a bright, shimmering aura surrounded them. It wasn't as dramatic as Chi's, but the transformation was no less significant.
Chick's small frame bulked up slightly, and he grew taller his wings growing stronger and more defined. He flapped them experimentally, sending gusts of wind through the camp.
Chill, on the other hand, gained a sharper, more agile appearance. His claws extended, gleaming dangerously in the light. His wings were almost defined as well.
Though they still couldn't fly, Chick and Chill had gained the ability to leap higher with newfound agility, their powerful legs propelling them higher and farther than ever before.
Each jump felt like a defiance of gravity, allowing them to soar through the air in arcs that left onlookers in awe. They may not take to the skies, just yet, but their newfound strength gave them a sense of freedom and mobility that made them just as deadly, launching powerful, high-ground assaults on enemies with ease.
Rain couldn't help but grin. Though they hadn't undergone the same rebirth as Chi, the upgrades were visible, and he could feel the power flowing through them.
These were no longer the same troops he had started with—they were evolving into warriors capable of holding their own in the battles to come.
One by one, his army was growing stronger. And with Chi's eventual return, he knew that his troops would grow even stronger.

With the evolution complete, Chick and Chill had become part of Rain's newly upgraded heavy infantry, their forms enhanced to the point where they could finally ride war horses into battle.
Now, they had the advantage of swift mounted attacks, combining their strength with the mobility and power of a cavalry unit.
The change was monumental—on the battlefield, their presence would now be overwhelming, with the ability to tear through enemy lines with devastating force.
Chick and Chill exchanged excited glances, clearly thrilled by their newfound capabilities. The pride in their eyes was unmistakable as they tested their newly evolved forms, flexing their muscles and feeling the rush of strength.
Rain couldn't help but smile at their excitement. These two had come a long way since they first joined his ranks.
But then, from the corner of his eye, Rain noticed #4, standing apart from the group, peering at Chick and Chill with a mixture of jealousy and sadness. His small, unassuming figure seemed even smaller as he watched his comrades celebrate their evolution.
#4 had always been brave, far more so than anyone gave him credit for, but there was no hiding the longing in his eyes. He hadn't evolved like the others, and Rain could tell it was weighing on him until now.
Rain's heart tightened. He knew exactly what #4 was feeling—the frustration of being left behind, of feeling inadequate. He was about to call out to him, to reassure him that his time would come, but before he could, #4 noticed Rain looking his way.
The little soldier quickly turned away, trotting off into the distance before Rain could say a word.
Rain sighed heavily. "I'll talk to him later," he muttered under his breath. #4 needed reassurance, but there were other matters to attend to first. There were still more troops to upgrade, and the day was far from over.
Turning his focus back to the task at hand, Rain called forth Druger, Drake, Golly, and Hana. Unlike Chick and Chill, these four weren't frontline warriors. Their strength lay in their skills—their mastery over building, crafting, healing, and invention. But that didn't make their evolution any less critical.
Druger and Drake, both renowned for their construction abilities, stood before Rain. After their evolution, their already impressive building skills skyrocketed. They could now design and erect complex structures without the need for blueprints.
Castles, fortresses, defensive barriers—whatever Rain required, they could build it faster and sturdier than before. Their hands now moved with an almost supernatural precision, as if they had gained the knowledge of master architects with just a glance.
Golly, the artificer, was next. His evolution amplified his craft in ways that left even Rain awestruck. He could now create intricate mechanisms and devices, pushing the boundaries of invention and technology.
His eyes gleamed with the hunger of a true creator, eager to test his new abilities. The possibilities were endless, from crafting weapons that could turn the tide of battle to creating devices that could reshape the way they lived and fought.
And finally, Hana—the group's healer. Rain watched as Hana's evolution took effect, enhancing her powers tenfold. Her ability to heal was now unparalleled. Find your next read at empire
She could restore up to 50% more health with a single spell, and her area-of-effect healing now covered a wider radius, mending the wounds of multiple soldiers at once. In a battle, this would mean the difference between life and death for entire squads.
Rain grinned with satisfaction. These weren't just ordinary evolutions—these upgrades were game-changers. Each of them, in their own unique way, had just become an indispensable force in his growing empire.
One by one, his forces were evolving into something extraordinary. And with every upgrade, Rain felt the weight of responsibility pressing down on him. He wasn't just leading an army—he was building a future, crafting a legacy that would stand the test of time.
But despite all the progress, his thoughts kept drifting back to #4. He would need to address that soon. Evolution wasn't just about power—it was about unity, about ensuring that no one was left behind.
