[ Auto-activating the skill Heal to recover from the injuries ]
This was what the system showed. This meant that only after healing from his injuries would Shin be able to evolve.
He could evolve even when he was injured, which happens sometimes in nature, but such an evolution is often dangerous and disadvantageous.
It is dangerous because the completion of the evolution process isn't guaranteed as the beast may end up dying. After all, its body would just explode because the evolution was stopped midway.
It is disadvantageous because most of the energy from the evolution process would end up in healing the injured beast. Because of this, the evolved beast wouldn't be as strong as it should be.
The system didn't want this to happen and because of that, it decided to only proceed with the evolution after Shin was healed which was definitely one of the best decisions that it had taken until now.
In any case, the mystery remains, why did the Ape pause before punching Shin because a single punch was more than enough to kill Shin at that moment.
So what had happened exactly?
Well, it was relatively simple and for that, one has to go a few seconds back.
When Shin used many of his skills to attack the Ape, he got quite distracted. Furthermore, after the Aero Slash caused it to lose an eye, it got infuriated and tried to punch at Shin and succeeded in doing so.
However, since Shin's teeth grazed him, he started to bleed. The same was true with its eyes too which were bleeding constantly.
The ape tried to touch its eye as he failed to realize what had happened because it occurred too quickly, Raka used his skill Poison Breath.
Of course, since the ape was turning the other way, he couldn't see Raka use the skill.
And as soon as it made contact with the Ape's blood, the poison immediately started to flow towards its heart.
Yes, it was the poison that would affect the heart specifically, called Heart Poison, as mentioned earlier.
The fellow Shadow Wolves could sense the poison with their auras and almost immediately disappeared into Raka's shadows.
It would have taken at least ten to twenty seconds before the poison could start taking its effect, however, the ape rushed to kill Shin.
Because of rushing, and anger, the poison acted faster as his blood pressure rose which caused the Ape to experience a heart attack.
But before its heart could stop due to Cardiac Arrest, Shin ended up using Aero Slashes randomly which slashed the Ape and let him gain the experience.
That's how the Ape was killed and that was why it stopped before punching Shin.
So, it was all thanks to Raka that Shin was alive. But of course, if the poison had come in contact with Shin when he was vulnerable, he would get affected too.
That was why Raka used only a little of it.
But in the end, he failed since all the blood emitted from the Thunder Ape, fell on Shin's body. Some entered his mouth but there was nothing to worry about since the system was handling the case.
Also, the poison would be way too less concentrated right now, and considering his natural resistance, it wouldn't affect him at all.
Anyway, the system continued with the healing process while giving out a few notifications.

After this, there were no other notifications. His body continued to heal because of his own skill.
His MP was still high so it was possible since only his HP was the bare minimum.
Regardless, the shadow wolves and Raka kept watching Shin.
'Even though the master has become unconscious, he is still healing himself.'
'Really, he is the strongest wolf that I have ever encountered.'
'And those skills that he unleashed…'
'I knew it.'
'I wasn't mistaken.'
'He really had the spirit of a dragon inside him.'
Earlier Raka was thinking that the dragon-shaped aura which he saw earlier was because Shin was Terran, but after he clarified, Raka understood that Shin was powerful enough to have one of the strongest auras on the planet – Dragon's Aura.
And yes, that was the name of the skill too, so it was no coincidence.
He and the shadow wolves waited there and guarded him since there were still many beasts nearby that could get attracted to the smell of the blood and attack Shin.
It took almost 5 hours for Shin to recover completely from the wounds. However, he was not awake yet.
But the system was working properly. As soon as the healing was finished, it initiated the next process.
*Ding*
[ Low MP detected ]
This was because the healing skill almost ended up draining the entire MP which was necessary.
[ The process of Evolution has been shifted due to low MP ]
[ The Evolution will continue after all the MP has been recovered ]
It took another hour for Shin's MP to recover completely.
And finally, after that, his evolution began.
*Ding*
[ Condition for evolution is suitable ]
[ Commencing Evolution ]
As soon as these notifications popped up, Shin started to glow in white light.
Raka and the wolves were surprised because of this.
"Eh? This…"
Both the shadow wolves had crests on their chest. Yes, the same crest that had a wolf's face with a triangular design showed that they belonged to Shin's clan.
Raka was yet to become a member, so all he could do was stare.
The crests started to glow with white light as well and it was true for the shadow wolf who was supposedly dead.
Yes, both the wolves and Raka were surprised to see this.
Other members of the clan who were back at the town were equally surprised when the crest on their hands, cheeks, chests, shoulders, bellies, or legs started to glow.
