In the seventh hell... Those monsters are carefully taking their time and adjusting their speed according to me. They aren''t catching me, but hunting me as Lisa said. They are bloody hounds, eyeing the prey for their master without catching it. How savage, Murai thought, hurrying forwards as long and fast as his tiny legs allowed him to.

Kill? That is effective, but not passable either. They have a clear mastermind behind them that is waiting. Otherwise, they would catch me. They are like dogs, clearly trained with proper hunting skills to tire me out. Mentally, or physically, the foe behind them isn''t stupid. Do they want to tire me, or do they await for the master that is still behind them? I wonder which is it. Murai wondered, feeling that the past minutes were all the same. 10 Phantom Coyotes were taking their time, with no larger or smaller number of them.

Fuck... Those beasts went out of my Mana Detection radius and went further in to trap me? I bet they got some sense of my proper direction after picking on mz movements for the past hour, even though I am trying to constantly shift it. How clever are these bastards? Murai scowled and did what was best in the situation. He prepared for the battle by Conjuring and Shaping a pair of Mana Blades around him.

A flame huh? What is Anatidae anyway? Murai thought, and before thinking of any other changes, he Conjured his own flames amidst the flames of others.

Using the flame of other kinds of flames to touch them and create a stronger one? That reminds me of many things, but not the flames of shaped properties. That isn''t how affinities of one''s shaping work, but it resembles how elements can evolve. I don''t think this falls under the knowledge that even Rudolf knows about. Is this what an Anatidae can do, or it is more profound than some flaming affinity? My Flame Shots sucked those azure flames into them, but the flames went in as well, turning into a higher state of flame on their own. Which? Was this Annihilation, Destruction, or Heat?

So those things can evolve too? Murai wondered and shaped another 2 Blades that he previously discarded back to mana to use them on the flaming shots. Each probably cost him a few dozen points of his Mana Pool, but that was his guess.
I am kidding... Of course, I know things can evolve, He snickered and stood straight.
