BOOM!

Rapidly flying out of the way Evelyn narrowly avoided being sent flying away by a large explosion.

To mitigate the effect, she had created barrier of wind around her and increased her gravity by four times to anchor herself.

'Damn, she is not holding back today.' Evelyn thought as she avoided another attack from Katrina.

"You nearly dropped the connection after that one. Make sure to keep at least the bare amount of attention on it." Anneli who was also training with them said through the thing magical strand Evelyn was using to connect the two of them.

'Take this. Jet Javelins.'

Creating six two-foot-long javelins made of her crimson flames, Evelyn spun them around with her wind magic and launched them off like missiles at Katrina.

This was one of the best attacks she currently had, and Melisandre had told her that even a low tier tyrant beast would not come out unscathed if they did not evade or guard against it.

Of course, Katrina who was currently acting as Evelyn's adversary was not just going to let the attack hit.

In a flash, a cage of electricity surrendered her and blocked Evelyn's attack.

Then the lighting that was crackling around Katrina broke apart and shot towards Evelyn.

Unfortunately, neither her fire, wind, nor gravity could currently do much to stop the lighting, and her only recourse was to create a barrier of pure magical energy.

'Gah this hurts.' Evelyn thought as she got shocked by the electricity that broke through.

Even when she was holding back Katrina was still stronger than her, and she found it difficult to block her attacks.

Still, this was important training for Evelyn, and she continued to clash against Katrina while keeping up her connection to Anneli.

'Sunspot.'

Needing some time to recover, she created a large flash of light with her heavenly flame and flew away while taking out three bottles.

Quickly she ripped off the tops and swallowed down a magical energy replenishment pill, a healing potion, and a stamina recovery potion all at once with practiced motions.

This helped her to keep going longer, and once she was feeling recovered, she began attacking again.

"You did pretty good this time. You managed to last a bit more than twenty minutes against me while I was pressing you pretty hard." Katrina said when they had finished their match.

However, Evelyn did not respond as she was currently laid out on her back and wheezing.

Her training battle with Katrina had been intense, and she had truly given it her all to win.

"Really, you are amazing Evelyn. You only learned how to truly use your magic a month and a half ago and you have already created and master so many magic spells of your own. That one where you combine your wind with your fire and shoot it off is quite impressive." Anneli said, raving about Evelyn's magic.

She had worked really hard to come up with useful attacks, defenses and support abilities with her magic now that she had control over it.

But truth be told, it was actually her memories from Earth that had helped her the most. She was able to think up applications similar to weapons from her original world or even sometimes things she had seen in movies or video games.

This made her creativity with her magic seem more impressive than in actually was, since she was just copying things she had already seen before.

"Yes, your ingenuity and control has gotten a lot better since our first match. I daresay if I was still a mid-tier awakened beast you might have beaten me." Katrina said, also laying on some rare praise.

Once Evelyn had recovered enough to get back up, she went with Katrina and Anneli and went to the kitchen where they began cooking together.

She had now gotten to the point where they were teaching her how to imbue magical properties through alchemy into cooking.

Overall, it was pretty fun for Evelyn, and she had gotten really close to both of Melisandre's attendants.

In contrast, she had not actually seen her master all that much since she learned how to control her magic.

Recently she was gone for several days or even a couple of weeks at a time, and only showed up for a bit to check on Evelyn's progress and give her some pointers.

"Your cooking has also gotten better recently." Anneli said as she tired the meat from a type of pig beast Evelyn had cooked.

She had added the blood of a poisonous fish as well, which when treated properly and then heated actually lost its potency and tasted pretty good. While also giving a slight boost in stamina for a couple hours.

"Yeah, but you both are still way better than me. I have along way to go." Evelyn said in response.

Though while Evelyn believed what she was saying, both Anneli and Katrina told her that she was being too humble, and to take a bit more pride in her achievements that were beyond any other fiend beast.

"So do either of you know what Melisandre has been up to?" Evelyn eventually asked out of curiosity.

Naturally she had already asked Melisandre before, but she just skirted around the question.

"Sorry we do not know anything more than you do." Katrina said.

But on the other hand, it seemed that Anneli actually did know a bit more and told what she had heard.

"From some of my associates, and a few mumblings I heard from Lady Melisandre herself. I have heard that some of the leaders of the Roost have been going out on joint missions with other powerful beasts that are allied with us. But all of this is just little rumors I have heard."

"Oh, that is interesting. Melisandre said in passing that the Roost had allies, but who might they be?" Evelyn asked curious about this subject.

"Hm, if I remember correctly, the Roost has friendly relations with the crows who have a similar set up to ours, and the cunning foxes. From what I know the crows are only allies with us for our mutual enemy in the eagles, and the foxes ally with tons of other beasts as well as us. Those are the closest ones that I can think of." Katrina said, giving out the knowledge she had.

Apparently, it was still rare even for beast societies that were allied to actually work together, so if the rumor that Anneli heard of the higher ups all getting together was pretty unprecedented.

"Ah, but if there is no real proof that anything is going on. I am pretty sure that what Lady Melisandre is doing is gathering rare ingredients or searching for another item she needed to evolve." Katrina said to steer them way from coming up with all manner of fantasies.

After that they quickly finished up their meal, they all headed off to their respective rooms in order to get some rest for the coming days.

Yet just two days later when Melisandre returned, she called all three of them to her room.

When they arrived, she had quite the smile on her face and told them that she had some important news to share.
