Little Root’s stats have increased greatly. Seeing him slowly grow was kind of fun, like playing a monster catching game. I’ve been mostly overlooking the growth of all my Undead and allies through a rather superficial level, never really checking on their Status and all that much.

But now that I’ve been doing this meticulously with Root, I feel it’s kind of… Yeah, it’s actually pretty fun! Also, seeing how promising he is only make things even more fun as I have rather high expectations for his future evolutions.

And this dungeon is brimming with nice amounts of EXP everywhere, so we might as well grind to our heart’s contents!

However, first things first, time to make this little guy evolve.

Root’s current Race is…

—–

[Race]: [Lesser Treant (Special)]

A Small Walking Tree that was given a Will and a Strong Soul. It moves around with its leg-shaped roots and is capable of sapping the life and energy of the creatures it fights. They’re usually quite hardy to fight for beginners, as they have high defenses and recovery and can stall fights for a long period of time and come out on top or make their foes give up and run away.

This Lesser Treant is “special” as it possess something within it and it has begun to develop a Stronger Soul than usual as a result.

Huh, I see… If I were a beginner adventurer, it would certainly be rather hard to fight a Treant, they have high regeneration and defenses. If there’s no fire attribute magic to deal with them effectively, they can just tank hits and stall endlessly.

“Alright Root, can you evolve right now?” I wondered.

“Gyugyuu… I dunno…” He said.

He didn’t knew how.

Wait, what?!

“You don’t know how-“

FLAAASH!

However, he seemed to have figured it out, as he began glowing brightly. His entire body was encompassed by bright golden light, as his size started increasing up to an additional meter!

When the evolution finished, Root stood there looking around, his appearance hadn’t changed much, but he had grown taller and stronger. He was definitely not a sapling anymore.

[Root] has evolved into a [Soldier Treant (Special)]!]

Soldier Treant, huh?

He has definitely gotten stronger! He gained several hundreds more of stats and- a few new skills as well! Alright, let’s test them out, this is kind of fun.

“Gerororoooo…!”

A Great Poison Frog was captured by the Dwarves not long after, as I used my Shadow Threads to wrap around its legs so it couldn’t easily escape. The dwarves quickly let the frog all for Root to enjoy, this time without attacking but surrounding the monster.

“Now fight it, Root, all by yourself! Let’s see how strong you are!”

“Gyugyu! Got it Master! I shall not disappoint you!”

Root quickly rushed forward, jumping off the air more athletically than I could had expected a Treant to be, as I let go of the frog’s shadow threads so it could be a more fair fight.

FLASH!

Suddenly, Root’s legs shaped into sharp Wooden Spears. Oh, so this was his newest Skill all about!

“Gerooo!”

CLAAASH!

However, Root and the Frog struck one another with their weapons. Root saw his wooden spears being destroyed by the frog’s powerful tongue! Ah, is he still too weak to take on one alone?

BAAM!

However, Root didn’t gave up, his entire body suddenly shapeshifted into a whole Wooden Spear and pierced straight through the frog’s tongue, poison splattering everywhere as the frog cried in pain.

“Gerooooo!”

And that wasn’t all, Root’s legs quickly shapeshifted into sharp roots, spreading over the frog’s entire body and piercing through its body.

“GEHAAA…!”

The frog began jumping around and suddenly conjuring Poison Magic, the only magic it had which brought out a large sphere of poison out of thin air, firing it straight at Root’s face!

BAAAM!

“Gyugyuhh…”

Root didn’t gave up in there though, as he quickly generated a shiny golden leaf and ate it with his sharp jaws, suddenly regenerating a bit of his HP while bearing the Poisoned Status Effect he had!

So he can even eat his own Healing Leaves to heal himself?! Now that’s cheating! Well, I guess it doesn’t matter at this point.

“Gerooo… Geehhh…”

The frog, having all of its HP drained by Root’s roots, ended falling into the ground, its body growing thin as if everything inside was sucked out of its body. Root quickly took out his roots from the monster, standing above the corpse triumphantly.

Ding!
