Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

At the village square, everyone watched with worried expressions on their faces. Even Vishirk, who understood the concept of magic, couldn't help but feel a little anxious; there were many dangers involved in awakening—loss of memory, getting possessed by demons and dark creatures, or even death—all these were common dangers involved in awakening.

Dragun stood beside Riela and observed everything keenly. He observed every single detail in her body and even focused on her very slightest movements.

He was praying incessantly in his heart, even though he had no god he revered.

He did not want anything to happen to his daughter-in-law.

Under his keen observation, he had noticed a few minutes earlier when Riela's body suddenly relaxed after shivering for some time.

He knew that the process had begun and would end very soon.

He was still praying incessantly when he noticed that her body had started shivering again, this time more vigorously than before.

He also noticed the mana coming from her had gotten stronger.

"It has finally begun! If she can survive this phase, then her mana core will finally form and she will begin her magic cultivation! Her element might also awaken if she is really blessed by nature and magic," Dragun muttered to himself.

He moved closer, stretched his hands out, and prepared himself to start healing at any moment.

As for Riela, after her consciousness returned, she was greeted with intense pain that caused her body to shiver uncontrollably. She felt a burning sensation from her chest down to her stomach, as though she had just swallowed molten lava. Her head began to ache like it had just been stomped by donkeys—every fibre of her being was plunged into unimaginable pain.

But she maintained her meditative sitting position—not that she wanted to, but controlling her body at this moment had become unimaginably difficult.

Only her mind was under her control, and even that part of her was going through turmoil at this moment.

The villagers watched with panic.

Rowan found it difficult to focus on the current task at hand, as the system kept sending him notification after notification reminding him of Riela's awakening.

It had started right from the moment she began and even notified him when she lost consciousness during the process.

Rowan had received at least two hundred of these notifications by now, completely disorienting him from working.

He had to excuse himself and find somewhere far away from the working soldiers in order not to draw unwanted attention—it would be pretty weird if his soldiers kept seeing him staring into midair and frowning each time.

Now, sitting in a lonely spot at the back of one of the newly constructed houses, Rowan studied the notifications one after another.

Rowan didn't bother to go to the village square because he had already been informed beforehand by Dragun that she would go through a hell of a lot of pain. He told him not to worry, that everything would be okay; he even asked him not to come.

Rowan believed it at first and didn't bother to visit the village square—he would only get himself worried, watching his wife in intense pain.

Nevertheless, after seeing the concerning notifications, he began to doubt his previous choice.

[ AWAKENING progress: 64% ]

[ Pain has increased by 200% ]

[ Possibility of death has increased to 60% ]

Another set of notifications appeared, and this time Rowan couldn't take it anymore.

"This is not good at all. Dragun lied to me; this is beyond what Riela can handle!" Rowan gritted his teeth as he took a shortcut, leaving the site without any of the soldiers noticing, and made his way down to the village square.

On his way, he met a few worried villagers who were already coming to inform him about the event happening at the village square.

"Lord Rowan, your father is going to kill Lady Riela!"

"He is performing some evil-looking ritual on her and she appears to be in deep pain."

"Yes, her body is shivering uncontrollably. Lord Rowan, you have to save her."

They told Rowan.

Rowan only nodded at them and continued hurrying his way down there.

Some of them even followed him back since they wanted to see what would happen.

They told Rowan how they tried to help and how they couldn't, as a strong force was always pushing them back.

Rowan did not bother to engage in conversation with them as the notifications kept appearing, making him even more worried.

After strolling for a few seconds, he arrived at the village square and was greeted with the scene. Just as described by the villagers, Riela was sitting in the middle of a magic formation, a cage of light formed around her. White mist spewed out from the formation, blurring the view of the onlookers.

Rowan noticed the shivering of his wife and couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his chest. It pained him to see her suffering!

The villagers watching the scene were yelling at Dragun to let Riela go.

After observing the scene for a few seconds, Rowan shook his head and began making his way to the front.

Vishirk was still blocking the front and preventing the villagers from getting close.

He quickly spotted Rowan.

"You are here," he said.

Rowan didn't reply and proceeded to inquire about the current situation from him.

Vishirk explained and told him not to worry.

"She will be fine in a few minut..." Vishirk tried to calm Rowan's worrying heart.

But he was quickly disrupted by the explosive sound from behind him. It came from the position of Riela and Dragun.

The breeze of the explosion blew across, sending small objects flying and causing some of the villagers to lose their footing.

Rowan had to use his arms to form a shield to prevent the dust from flying in his direction.

"What happened?" Rowan muttered as he opened his eyes to see what had just happened.

[ Your WIFE has passed.... ]
