Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 334 - 334 Learning About Evolution



With Quillon having left, Marcus turned towards Mrazivý and said, "So what is this special evolution you said you are working towards."

Naturally Marcus had become very curious when Mrazivý said that she was aiming for an evolution, since it was not a common occurrence.

So far, the only ones he had met that had confirmed that they were evolved were Treasa and now Quillon.

Of course, he was certain that he had met others, like Aria and Thabon, but they had never confirmed it.

After hearing Marcus' question Mrazivý looked around in the private room they were in, and got up to check and make sure that no one was listening in.

Then when she was satisfied that they were alone, Mrazivý sat down next to Marcus and pulled out a large magic core, that was around three times bigger than a basketball.

However, Marcus as immediately able to tell that this core was very special and of a far higher grade than he had ever seen.

In fact, other than the very deep emerald green color, the core also had a snowflake pattern all around it that seemed to be perpetually moving.

'Does she need that thing for the special evolution she is talking about.'

As Marcus stared at the core, he could only wonder what it had come from, but he knew that whatever it had been, was far stronger than anything he had ever fought.

"Does that core have something to do with the special evolution you were talking about?" Marcus asked staring intently at the large magic core in Mrazivý's hands.

Nodding her head Mrazivý said, "Yeah, Gwyneira gave it to me the other day when she wanted to talk to me alone. She said that once I reached level fifty, I would unlock a very powerful evolution and that this core would be required for it."

"So, you do not know what it is yet." Marcus asked seeing the confounded expression on her face.

Shaking her head Mrazivý said, "Yeah, I have no real idea. Gwyneira told me that I would find out when I reached level fifty and that not knowing would make me strive harder to achieve it. But it must be a powerful evolution if I need this core for it. And to think I was about to choose the new evolution I recently unlocked."

Hearing this Marcus' curiosity was peaked.

He did not know much about evolution in this world, only that most begins were capable of it to ascend to greater heights.

Of course, he had unlocked his own secret evolution by absorbing the mythic spirit gem, but he was able to see his evolution through his personal status, so he wondered how other people accomplished it.

"Mraz, could I ask you a few questions about evolution. I know that it makes any creature that attains it stronger, but how do you know when you can do it and what it will be."

Mrazivý seeing the confusion on Marcus' face found it a little odd since she had thought he had already evolved, since when they first met, he was not a great spirit.

However, his becoming a great spirit was more of a complete transformation via the power given from Roxene's parents, than an evolution.

"Well, when you first unlock an evolution, you receive a notification from the system like when you level up. And you can choose to undergo it or disregard it. Oh, but any evolution you unlock you can go back at any time and choose so long as you have not chosen a different one already, or so I have heard. It is like if I try to recall them, I feel them in the back of my mind and know that I can pick one. As for the evolutions I can choose, right now I have three." Mrazivý said with a jovial expression obviously happy to be talking about this topic with Marcus.

"Well do not leave me hanging. Come on tell me what your possible evolutions are." Marcus said with obvious interest.

Putting on a high and mighty smile Mrazivý said, "First is an evolution called an advanced human. When I originally unlocked this one, I asked Sir Heward about it since I had heard he was one. And it turns out that this is the normal evolution for humans when they reach level forty, and their stats are within a certain range. So as long as a person makes it to level forty and has the required stats anyone can achieve this evolution. Though from what Sir Heward told me it only boosts your stats by a few hundred and makes you a bit more resilient. And while he talked it up as being really impressive, I thought it sounded lack luster, since it did not come with any special abilities."

With his eyes glued on her, Marcus was obviously pretty engrossed in what Mrazivý was saying as he was learning more about the secrets of this world.

'So, it seems that most humans can evolve at level forty. Though while Sir Heward is evolved he does not give off the same presence that Treasa did. She said hers was not a very rare one, but I doubt that it is common either. She had a quite the powerful special ability that made her stronger, faster, and far tougher, at almost the same level as a unique skill. Hm and that means that Jarek could probably evolve as well but chose not to. I guess he is looking for something better than the base one anyone can get'

Compiling the new information with what he already knew, Marcus was starting to connect a few dots on what could be considered one of the most important aspects of this world.

"Now what are the other two evolutions you can achieve. Since advanced human is the basic one the other two most be more uncommon." 

Practically gleaming Mrazivý said, "Yes, my other two possible evolutions are much better than the first one, though one is still far better than the other."

Mrazivý then abruptly stood up for some reason and held her hand out while holding up two fingers and said, "The second evolution I achieved when I turned level forty-two is called magi. It is an evolution not specific to humans apparently and is for any person with a high enough intelligence and spirit stat that have at least one level five magic skill. I assume that you can figure out by the name alone what this evolution does and focuses on. Ah, I believe that it is the one that Diana took. I have heard that a lot of the archmages take this evolution since it gives them an ability that boosts their magic and makes attaining magic-based skills easier. Of course, I never considered taking this route since I am also skilled with a blade and do not want to focus entirely on magic."

Nodding his head Marcus could understand wanting to be both an expert with magic and in physical combat. 

He had found that being versatile would often come to his advantage, and that being too narrow could lead to certain matchups that could just not be won.

For example, anyone with a low spirit stat, Marcus could simply put down with his phantom pressure no matter how strong their other stats were. And it was abilities like these that were the reason why he tried to maintain somewhat balanced stats.

"And the third one I just recently unlocked after our battle with that lamia when I level up to forty-five, and it is something not many people can achieve, and a goal I had been working towards."
