Ethan made a decision, a very necessary one.
As much as the constant stream of notifications tempted him, and as much as the steady rise of Evolutionary Shards made his pulse quicken, it was time to quit while he was ahead.
It was too risky to continue, and he had already benefited enough.
"Return."
Wolfy vanished mid-rampage in the breeding grounds, and Spark, who had been incinerating the place, disappeared as well. It was good timing, since they were also being chased by ant beasts.
The notifications slowed as Spark's lingering flames cooked the final few beast eggs. Then seconds later, they stopped entirely, but Ethan didn't regret his decision.
'I can't keep draining MP like that…'
He also couldn't risk them getting overwhelmed.
Spark had little defence, and even Wolfy, before evolving, would've been torn apart by a single one of those Ant Commanders.
Ethan couldn't afford to lose them.
