Chapter 44：Proving the theory of evolution

Adrian was happy that he has now a summon that has a sustaining ability. He hurriedly checked the abilities that Saena has to offer and was a bit underwhelmed.

Skill: Breath of the Magpie

Effect: Heals 0.2% HP of a target per second. This is considered its basic attack.

Cooldown: None

Skill: Light of Hope

Effect: Heals party members by 5% of their health.

Cooldown: 1 minute

Skill: Aura of Brilliance

Effect: Passively increases the party member's HP and MP regeneration by 100%.

Adrian was a bit disappointed because it was a mythical summon but he understands that the cute magpie is still low leveled. He also noticed that there was no infant tag near the magpie's name which means that creatures summoned using the soul retrieving circle are in adult form already. He checked Saena's status card.

Name: Saena

Species: Albino Magpie(Sarimanok Strain)

Lvl: 1

HP:75/75

Exp: 0%/100%

Skills: Active Skills(Expand)

Passive Skills(Expand)

Evolution: Possible

Adrian was curious on the possible evolution of Saena since she was already a mythical summon she must have a direct path towards a mythical evolution and he was not disappointed.

Evolution: Caladrius(Sarimanok Strain)

Evolution Requirements:

a.) Heal 100,000 damage

b.) Heal sickness of other people: 100

c.) Level 50

Wow. Just wow. An evolution that needs to heal other beings to achieve it. Adrian was also surprised it was not a Sarimanok evolution which could mean that the Sarimanok would be his ultimate evolution. Adrian was excited because he has a soulbound that has a clear path to ultimate evolution and he would just need to grind the requirements. Now he felt nervous for his other two soulbounds because they did not have a clear path which means Adrian must find other ways for them to achieve evolution. He did not want to extract his soulbounds like other summoners because they were inferior. Adrian believed that in this game the possibilities could be endless and he already had a glimpse of an upgrade stone which means he could potentially find other clues that could increase Sirius' potential or maybe he could ask Pann but that was for another date.

Adrian also looked at Sirius and Kanlaon's evolutions.

Evolution: Orthos

Evolution Requirements:

a). Must be in an Underworld realm

b.) Acquire Lightning Dog Species SoulStone

Adrian was not happy with Sirius' evolution path because an Orthos was a rather common monster in the underworld that was leveled 200 at least. Some explorers managed to get to one of the underworlds mainly Hell before getting wiped by an Orthos at the beginning part of Hell. Adrian wants Sirius to maintain his wolf like traits not because he looks cool that way no. Adrian read in books that an Orthos two heads often hate each other and he does not want a self destructive soulbound. He would withheld Sirius evolution for the time being until he finds a way for him to deviate from his normal evolution path.

Evolution: Fire Dragon King

Evolution Requirements:

a.) Must be level 300

b.) Clear the trial of the dragon king

Adrian almost fainted because of the evolution requirements for Kanlaon. Level 300 could only be acquired for about two years in game if he dedicated his time in leveling up maybe a year but Adrian has another way. His eye glinted which indicated that he has an idea. He remembered the fraudulent item he acquired.

Item: Abyss Dragon Essence

Tier: Mythical

Description: The essence of one of the pinnacle species of water dragons that rules over water and its superior element ice.

Effect: Adds qualities of the abyss dragon.

Conditions: Dragon type creatures or Advance Blackmith mastery.

This item could be used as a material for blacksmithing or enhancing a dragon type creature. When Adrian took the item out of his inventory, Kanlaon shivered before going near Adrian and looking at him with eyes full of longing. Adrian chuckled because his 10 meter long dragon was acting cute in front of him and he could not keep a straight face. He then nodded to Kanlaon's wishes and he was astounded that Kanlaon ate the Abyss Dragon Essence. Adrian imagined Kanlaon using dragon magic or something to assimilate the essence or something cool to happen but i guess reality is different from expectations. Yet Adrian was jumping for joy because one of his expectations was made true.

Evolution: Frostfire Dragon

Evolution Requirements:

a.) Abyss Dragon Essence

b.) Level 75

Adrian's theory is now proven true that certain items could affect a creatures evolution. Thankfully his theory was proven true. Now, Adrian could see hope for Sirius and he is now fantasizing of creating the ultimate team and achieving each of his soulbound's ultimate forms being a pinnacle of their species. Adrian also looked at his current status screen.

Adrian the proceeded to upgrade the Asmodian battle suit to rare quality since he has the leftover armors from the undeads that he could use and those armors were not usable for beings that are alive since the requirements for the armors was undead. Now the new armor was like this.

Item: Asmodian Battle Uniform(Growth Type)(Character Bound)

Tier: Rare

Effect: Physical Damage Reduction- 15%

Magical Damage Reduction-15%

HP+500

HP Regen+50%

Slots: 1. Empty

2. Empty

3. Empty

Conditions: Asmodian lineage

The upgrade was okay since it unlocked a new trait and increased the damage reduction but one thing alarmed him and that is the look of the battle suit. The suit now showed his elbows. Adrian hoped that was the last change that happened to the whole look. Adrian put the thought aside for now and focused on his next important task and that was looking for a sub job class. He was now past level 15 but have not acquired a sub job class that Ascalor's quest told him to. He now walked towards the town and caught the attention of the other Daemos residents there because his group is very eye catching. A dragon, a giant wolf, a cute white magpie and an Imp whose hair is now half white with a crown floating above it and who looks like a noble because of his attire except for his feet because it was the default shoes. He needed to find a way for Kanlaon and Sirius to obtain the polymorph spell so that they would not draw too much attention. He would ask Pann later if that was possible but first he needed to deal with the task at hand. A little attention never hurt anybody but the children did flock towards Sirius to touch him but was later collected by their parents.

Adrian was looking at the various sub job classes that are available in the Paradox Planes. Maybe he could stumble to a rare sub class here because of the Daemos race inability to use elemental magic. He remembered Jianna because she was an alchemist although her behavior did not show it. She must have been at least a Grandmaster Alchemist to be able to sell Complete Recovery Potions. Due to the game being life like even NPC's lose stock for potions which is why guilds have recruited alchemist players with great talent but Adrian wanted a sub job class that also has an effect in battle. He did not want to be a blacksmith because the armor break passive is only applicable to weapons and his demi-gauntlets does not have a damage indicator like all gloves. Gloves are only used to assist the summoner for magic and only enhances spells not physical damage. Adrian's demi-gauntlets were special because of the rune of explosive force.

Adrian was walking and thinking at the same time which is why he was not aware that he already left the town vicinity and wandered to a place with few workshops and reached a place with a sign saying Aernas the Scribe. Adrian stopped walking and wondered what is a scribe. His interest was perked and he entered the shop. Inside the shop was a place full of books and talismans and there was even runestones. Adrian started getting a general idea of what a scribe can do and he was amazed because the words written on the papers and stones emanated an aura. Each inscription was unique and some have a calming effect while some are suffocating just standing next to it. Adrian hoped that a scribe was a sub job class and not a mage's job advancement. He was walking with awe until he bumped into someone and he screamed.

"Ahh! I am sorry.... Eh shota?" Adrian muttered.

There was a visible bulge on the forehead of the person that Adrian bumped and a paper fan suddenly whacked Adrian's head.
