I Shall Evolve Everything-Chapter 35 Dual Evolution(1)

[Evolution targets, Darwin and Aoif]

[Confirm/Deny]

I confirmed the selection and it brought me down to a drop down menu.

[Select an environment(note different environments facilitate different types of evolution.)]

[Plains]

[Swamp]

[Forest]

[Coast]

This was new, after I had upgraded my talent everything was the same except for the obvious changes that the system pointed out.

Even when I was evolving that aether core to white emerald the options were the same.

But now that I am trying to evolve myself and Aoif it introduced environments?

I don't know what each one will do.

They might give me different resistances, have different enemies, it could be anything but for now I was just going to take the plains option.

"Ready" I asked Aoif after deciding on the environment.

"Yes" with that I confirmed my option.

…

With a green light we were transported to the plains.

As far as the eye could see was green with grass, littered with small trees.

Next to me Aoif was there still holding on to my hand though her grip had tightened.

Her other was tightly gripping the knife that I had just now noticed she held.

Aoif was tense though I didn't know why.

…

When I appeared here with Darwin I had noticed hundreds of thousands of souls.

Holding onto the knife and Darwin's hand tightly I went to say something as it seems that Darwin hadn't noticed the enemies judging by the lax grip he had on his spear.

I could tell that it was lax because as soon as I appeared here I used my aether to feel what Darwin was physically feeling.

"There are lots of enemies…" I mumble. Still tense at the amount.

Tensing up at my warning Darwin asks, "Where I can't see them."

I raise my hand to point at the closest soul to us.

"They're getting closer" I tell Darwin.

"Ok, tell me when they get into combat range"

I watch the souls and try to track where they are going.

Some are heading straight towards us while others are just wandering around.

I lead us to the nearest one and have Darwin pierce it.

…

Aoif had led me here and told me to stab this certain spot.

*STAB*

I had stapled at the spot and could feel some resistance which surprised me for multiple reasons.

For one the reinforced spear I use has, to this point, never felt resistance when slashing or stabbing something and two that I couldn't sense nor see it at all.

I never doubted Aoif but the fact that I couldn't sense anything was weird.

But then a flicker of something reached my eyes.

While looking around I could see things, weird little lights that flickered this way and that. Looking down on Aoif I saw a brilliant violet color suffusing her.

…

It was after the first soul died that I started to see.

Not the soul sight that I usually see but actual color and shapes.

It was only for a second but that was enough.

I could see what Darwin could see. I saw him holding my hand, and looking at me from his perspective.

…

I was brought out of my thoughts by the charging of hundreds of souls.

"More are charging at us" I inform Darwin

Brandishing my dagger I step in front of him.

What I saw from his perspective showed me he could not perceive them at all, so I must attack in his stead.

When the first approached me I dashed at it with one hand on my dagger.

Once I had gotten close enough I brought the dagger up and slashed at the soul.

*CLANG*

The sound of metal hitting metal was heard.

*CLANG*

*CLANG*

*CLANG*

I tried again and again but no matter the approach or where I slash it would not cut through.

With more coming from behind it I eventually retreated back to Darwin who was just standing there watching me.

I could tell because I saw myself when I had charged at the soul.

I saw from his eyes how I had ran over and continued to slash at nothing before eventually retreating. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

…

"It seems that only I can kill the souls while only you can see them" I thought out loud to Aoif.

"Seems so" Aoif answered.

"Let me try something" I say before focusing.

I focused on the feeling that I got when I saw through Aoif's vision.

'There' after a short while of focusing I was getting flashes of Aoif's vision.

"Did it work?" Aoif questioned, "I tried to send you my vision"

"It did," I reply smiling.

The few flashes I got were enough, every time I saw a flash I could see where they were, however I could only see from Aoif's perspective so I had to keep in mind the depth and my respective position.

*SLASH*

Pushing my spear up to slash at the soul I cut it in half with only minimal resistance.

I could see more advancing on me though.

Instead of letting them come at me I charged at them.

Stabbing and piercing this and that way I killed hundreds of them.

It was weird that there was no resistance.

However I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth so I kept going.

…

It had been hours since I had started battling the souls and finally they had retaliated.

It had gotten a bit on my nerves, the way that they took all the punishment that I dealt to them without any response.

It was when I was dashing to kill one that I saw from Aoif's eyes the easing of a souls hand.

It was behind my soul in her vision so I followed my instincts and rolled to the side.

*BOOOM*

A huge crater was the result of that attack, even just the wind from the attack blew me back to where Aoif was standing.

…

I crashed into Aoif who had already held her hands up bracing herself to catch me.

*CRASH*

We both landed on the ground her under me and I on top of her.

Quickly getting up I ready myself.

Eyes closed so I could focus on the souls that were attacking through Aoif's eyes.
