Chapter 251: New Evolution Options
—–
I flew down below and found a nice place to evolve, it was a small hill covered in snow, giving me a bit of nostalgia when I was a dragon hatchling, and I went on surviving in the wild. Now I am strong enough to be just fine anywhere around here, but new threats had emerged, and honestly, the future had become even more unpredictable. I have to quickly evolve and prepare for anything that might occur.
I dug deep into the ground and covered myself into a cocoon of ice, covering the entire place with Stealth, Camouflage, and other similar Runes to make me undetected.
After that, I checked my evolution options, let’s see what I get today.
<Evolution Options>
[Abyssal Calamity Death Freeze Dragon]
[Daydreaming Netherworld Ice Dragon]
[Spectral Dark Ice Dragon]
[Great Death Tundra Dragon]
[Dark Mirage Dragon]
…
Wow, five options this time?!
I could only guess what they do through their names, but let’s check them one by one… I am intrigued about some.
…
[Abyssal Calamity Death Freeze Dragon]
A Dragon evolution that comes from a highly proficient dragon in the elements of death, ice, and who is slowly entering into the realm of Dark Arts, as it delves deeper into the forbidden power that lays within magic and sorcery. A being who wields destructive magic and that can freeze and bring death to anything it comes through. Its name originates from its ability to bring Calamity whenever it talks, throwing into the endless dark abyss of death to anyone it faces…
…
Wow, okay? That was quite intense to read. So if I become this, I can use Dark Arts? What’s that? Can you tell me, System?
<Not enough info.>
Geh… Well, this sounds tentative, but I don’t like the idea of killing anything around me. Sounds OP, but that gotta be a lonely life unless I turn everyone into Undead, which is not really the plan either… Hopefully, it is figurative as if I will get very strong or something.
…
[Daydreaming Netherworld Ice Dragon]
An evolution that a dragon proficient in death, ice, and dream/illusion magic can evolve into. Daydreaming-type dragons are unique dragons born after the spreading of the Dream Attribute, they’re a special and rare race of beings who live within dreams, feeding in Dreams and Souls from those trapped inside. Their power grows as they consume more souls and dreams from their victims, and they’re capable of hopping between dreams more easily.
This variant has all those abilities coupled with the power of the netherworld, making it even easier to steal souls directly from dreams themselves, or to affect them strangely… it can also use ice to freeze things, or dreams.
…
This one sounds just as terrifying as the previous one! I like it. I like it a lot, in fact. Having a greater proficiency in hopping into dreams might one day give me an advantage or something against this annoying fox lady.
And it can edit souls and stuff while dreaming? And it even said I can use ice to “freeze” dreams? What does that last one even mean? Like literally pausing them? For what? Hmm…
Well, let’s check the other ones before making any rash decision.
…
[Spectral Dark Ice Dragon]
An evolution that a dragon that is proficient in phantom, dark, and ice attributes can take. Spectral Dark Ice Dragons are rare stalkers of the cold nights of Niflheim or the ever-dark underworld of Helheim. They are part specter and part dragon, being half-undead, they acquire several benefits such as unlimited stamina, great regeneration, restlessness, status effect immunity, and more, and can also feed on ghosts and other undead beings to gain power and proficiency.
The more monsters of these types are eaten, the stronger their powers develop. These vicious dragons stalk prey until they’re tired or unsuspecting, and then leap into their back and crush them until they die… they’re very efficient hunters.
…
Wow, so most of the benefits of being an Undead I already got them thanks to Immortal Body… Though that unlimited stamina sounds super nice… but I don’t think it will go so easily like that.
The thing about becoming an efficient hunter is meh, I already am one, and gaining power from eating Undead doesn’t sound bad, actually. But I don’t want to eat Undead, they taste like literal garbage. I mean, they’re literally rotting.
…
[Great Death Tundra Dragon]
Great Death Tundra Dragons are an evolution that only Great Dragons proficient in death and ice can take. Great Death Tundra Dragon is highly proficient in massive destruction using their two favorite elements. They storm entire clans and devour sects, ending entire civilizations of weak mortals that have lived for hundreds of years.
They’re known as the “Great Destroyers” and every time one emerges, it means that the end is near. Greatly proficient in death and ice, this dragon specializes in these two attributes in completely new ways, and its size is very large.
…
I see I see, this one seems quite crazy, I guess I could become one of those… specializing in death and ice to the point of becoming a Great Destroyer does sounds promising.
…
[Dark Mirage Dragon]
A mysterious evolution unlocked by dragons proficient in Illusion, Dream, and Dark Elements. Dark Mirage Dragons are sneaky and cunning dragons that live in places where they adapted their powers to create illusions to hunt prey. They can create all sorts of strange dark illusions filled with traps to catch prey. And are often mischievous little creatures. Enjoying the suffering of their prey, they like to experiment with their illusions and become highly proficient in them. Those that are capable of breaking through one might only end up in another one, as they can even create multi-layered illusion scenarios… Due to their rareness and powers, they are rarely spotted.
…
And then there’s this… an Illusion Master pretty much, quite a crazy playstyle. If this were a game, I would give it a try without thinking it twice to see how they work, but this is a more important decision than a game.
Honestly, they’re all good…
What should I pick?
