Orion wasn't listening to what Mandar Schion had said however as he was far more preoccupied with the notifications he was receiving from the system.
Mandar Schions spatial cannon spell had killed a large amount of pure goblins which resulted in this stream of notifications.
[9/25 deaths till next evolution]
[15/25 deaths till next evolution]
[21/25 deaths till next evolution]
[25/25 deaths till next evolution]

[Y/N to proceed with evolution]
[+46 strengh has been obtained]
[+53 agility has been obtained]
[+48 dexterity has been obtained]
[+38 constituition has been obtained]
[+356 mana has been obtained]
A continuous stream of such notifications stormed Orions mind.Orion ignored the attribute increase notifications and focused on the evolution ones.Time seemed to slow down for him as he saw that the wave of green was about to engulf him and Mandar.
Orion thought about whether or not he should proceed with the evolution.On one hand he was eager to increase his strengh.He'd probably be able to handle the wave of green with his increased stats and possible new abilities but that was a hard maybe.He'd be lucky if he got well into the low A class but it was still a possibility.
On the other hand he was in front of Mandar Schion and any physical changes would be easily noticed by him.Mandar might also have some more tricks and spells up his sleeve which might enable him to survive the wave of green.Although Orion could probably depend on Mandar for his survival,he refused to do such a thing.
"Yes,proceed with the evolution"Orion screamed in his mind partly in exhilaration and fear.
[Proceeding with evolution]
Orions body began to abruptly change.His skin grew deathly pale and his eyes appeared dead and dry.They no longer had that healthy shine attributed to regular skin or eyeballs.His body also grew gaunt and thin with his muscles closely compressed against his bones.
Orion wasn't concerned with those changes however as he was more concerned with the notifications and the feeling of his body growing far more powerful.

(Draining aura level 1)
You now possess an aura that gradually drains the mana and stamina of those around you though you don't recieve the mana and stamina.Even beings who don't normally get tired will find themselves losing stamina and mana.Those who run out of mana or stamina fully will die.
(Command undead level 1)
You can now command any type of undead that isn't affiliated to you to do your bidding.Whether they follow your bidding or not will depend on how strong you are compared to them.Some especially weak undead might even become your follower.
Orion used the assessment skill to figure out what the details behind his new skills were.He was pleasantly surprised with draining aura which seemed kind of useful but also a bit of a hindrance.If his aura constantly drained people then he would have to continuously send them away before they died of stamina or mana loss.weaker entities would probably die within minutes or seconds depending on how effective the skill was.
Meanwhile as the wave of green was about to cascade onto the duo Mandar Schion casted a type of defensive spell that was a spatial erasure barrier.The goblins who made contact with the barrier were spatially erased and the connected awareness of the wave of green allowed it to retreat further before taking anymore losses.
Mandar then noticed himself getting slightly tired and his mana was being slightly drained.He had plenty of mana to spare but mages weren't known for their stamina.He looked to the source of the drain and saw a pale and gaunt Orion.
