It starts with chess. One place to evolve.

Arcus Bear.

Arcus? A Ursa Minor? Let's look at the description.

Arcus Bear....a white bear that has awakened to the power of the stars. Close to the stars, they live in the high altitude snowy mountains and extreme cold. It swims smoothly in the water and has unparalleled strength in close combat.

I'm glad to see it's underwater combat enhanced. So let's go evolution! The chess glows silver and begins to evolve.

The evolved Chess has grown a bit and is equipped with an ice axe on each arm. Cute.

And the customary furry check. I'm buried in my fur and I'm surrounded by cool, silky fur. This is what I want for the summer! You don't need a cooler.

Okay, let's check the status.

Name Chess, Blizzard Bear Lv 24 to Arcus Bear Lv 1.

Life force 70 to 100.
Magic power 85 to 125.
Strength 100 to 130.
Defense value 88 to 128.
Agility 46 to 66
Dexterous value 50 to 70

Biting Lv 23 -> Biting Lv 23 Fighting Lv 24 Ice Axe Lv 1 Defense Lv 16 -> Iron Wall Lv 16　
Provocation lv17 -> Forced lv17 Ice Armor lv16 Star Armor lv1 Physical Destruction lv4 Magic Resistance lv1　
Assault Lv 22 Underwater Action Lv 16 -> Swimming Action Lv 16 Ice Claw Lv 24 Ice Fang Lv 10 Snow Hiding Lv 5　
Iced Breath Lv 14 Sacred Breath Lv 1 Sacred Breath Lv 1 Ice Throwing Lv 19 Continuous Shooting Lv 1 Sacred Magic Lv 10　
Cold Resistant Lv 5, Star Protection Lv 1

Your defense has been horribly enhanced. No wonder it's unparalleled strength in close combat. If you try out the Star Armor, Chess' body is covered in a glittering film. Furthermore, it seems to be able to use ice armor at the same time. It also has magic resistance, which is hard.

And you have an axe and you're not cutting it down...I was expecting that for a second.

I'm sure you've all heard of them. I'm going to have to evolve to one.

I don't know...

This is a bad idea. The Lion of Nemea, the lion who became a lioness, is the lion famous for Hercules' first difficult deed. He is famous for the fact that Hercules' arrows and clubs did not work. Now let's look at the explanation.

Nemeer...a golden lion that lives in a cave in a deep valley. It has a fur that no weapon can match, and it has the power to control weapons at will. Its fur is the best armor, but it is very tough to defeat.

Hmm? There's no explanation for the stars. Let's just let it evolve for now. When a Gale evolves, it becomes golden.

An evolved Gale will be larger, and its fur will be golden. Its horns became one horn, and blue lightning gushed out of its body. This one looks strong.

The fur is a bit choppy. Well, it's not so bad, it feels like grass on a lawn.

Then let's check out the status of this thing.

Name Gale: Thunder Beast Lv 24 -> Nemea Lv 1

Life force 52 to 82.
Magic power 110 to 140
Strength 78 to 118.
Defensive value 36 to 76.
Agility 130 to 160
Dexterous value 60 to 80

skill

Biting Lv 21 -> Biting Lv 21 Flight Lv 13 -> Galloping Lv 13 -> Hornblower Lv 15 Thunderbolt Lv 15 Thunderbolt Armor Lv 1　
Golden Armor Lv 1 Physical Destruction Lv 1 Thunderclaw Lv 25 Intimidation Lv 12 Night Vision Lv 21 Provocation Lv 12　
Lightning Magic Lv 24 Earth Magic Lv 1 Electromagnetic Manipulation Lv 1 Earth Pulse Manipulation Lv 1 Charging Lv 9 Discharge Lv 10　
Flashlighting Lv 11 Thunder Fang Lv 5 Lightning Rod Lv 1 Lightning Rod Lv 1 Madmanization Lv 1 Lightningization Lv 7 Golden Blessing Lv 1

This feels like an attempt to describe the legend of the Lion of Nemea with lightning. Let's find out.

"Here we go. Gale.

Gow!

I take out Reepling's silver sword and try to throw it, not aiming at Gale. Then an electric charge is emitted from Gale, and the Leapling silver sword floats inside. Then the silver sword comes back to me. So this is electromagnetic armor and electromagnetic manipulation... it's like this is the reason why the metal weapons of the Lion of Nemea didn't work.

By the way, I also tried the golden armor, but this one didn't do any damage at all with the silver sword either. I guess this one is the legend of the club.

Then, when I got him to use the earth vein control, Gale let out a yell and a series of raised rocks jumped out of the ground. Cool.

Finally, the lightning rod. A golden needle shoots from Gale's mane and pierces the rocks. Just when I thought it was too good to be true, the electricity flows. It's forbidden to touch it.

Next stop, Byakuya. Another place to evolve.

The White Tiger.

That's to be expected. I thought it was going to come across another one, but apparently that's not the case. The white tiger is a Chinese divine beast, one of the four gods. It protects the west. Let's look at the explanation of what it stands for in this game.

The White Tiger...the white tiger that protects the west in the eastern countries. He is the king of beastly insects who protects nature by manipulating the divine power and rough spirit. It is said that he is also well versed in spiritual power, and his appearance is rarely seen.

Hmm. Is this an enemy that doesn't appear on this continent? And it seems that divine power will appear. It sounds like an all-or-nothing ability, but let's see what happens. Let's let it evolve. Byakuya is enveloped in white light and evolves.

The evolved Byakuya has grown larger, the white smoke it was wearing has turned blue, and there is a white ball floating in the air that looks like a treasure ball. There's not much of a change in appearance, but let's check out the fur for now. But I don't touch it... Byakuya is there, so why is he there?

Gow.

Byakuya narrows his eyes and makes a smug face. Shit! I feel like a total loser! First of all, let's find out what his abilities are.

Name Byakuya Sengkora Lv 24 -> Byakuya Lv 1

Life force 54 to 84.
Magic power 80 to 110
Strength 90 to 130.
Defense value 46 to 76.
Agility 120 to 160
Dexterity value 64 to 94

skill

Biting Lv 23 -> Biting Lv 23 Wind Claws Lv 16 Wind Claws Lv 16 Forgetting Lv 7 -> Otherheartedness Lv 7 Flying Lv 18 -> God's Foot Lv 18　
Leap Lv 16 Heavenly Hearing Lv 1 Defense Disabled Lv 1 Night Vision Lv 19 Intimidation Lv 11 Wind Magic Lv 23 Earth Magic Lv 1　
Lightning Magic Lv 10 Forest Manipulation Lv 1 Earth Vein Manipulation Lv 1 Xian Qi Lv 17 Spiritual Power Lv 17 Spiritualization Lv 1　
Holy Waves Lv 1 Whirlwind Lv 9 -> Storm Lv 9 Roaring Lv 13 Galloping Lv 23 -> Shrinking Lv 23 Rough Spirit Lv 1

Isn't this a bad idea? First of all, Ta-shin-tsuchi, Jinsu-tsuchi and Tenni-tsuchi are the divine power.

The other mind can read your opponent's mind, the divine legends can fly over mountains and seas as they please, and the heavenly ear can hear distant sounds that are not normally heard.

And it's the spiritualization that interfered with my mofo. If you become a spirit, you won't be able to touch it. And if you control the nature of the forest and the ground, you're one of the four gods. Well... a ghost, that is.

"If it becomes a spirit, it can't feed or brush...

Gow!

When I said that, I was allowed to mooch. Byakuya's fur is fuzzy. There's no need to harden his fur if he's spiritualized and his attacks don't hit me. It was a supreme time.

And the next one is Yuu Fang, another mofo candidate. There's still one place to evolve to.

Marna Garm.

The nasty stuff goes on... Mernagarum is a wolf in Norse mythology. He is the wolf identified with Hattie, of the wolves that chase the sun, called Skol and Hattie, and run before the sun. In case you're wondering, the name means "dog of the moon". How's that for this game? Let's look at the description.

Marnagarum...a wolf that chases the moon. It hates the sun and lives in a land where it snows all year round. His icy breath can end the lives of all beings, and he can freeze even a scorching fire in an instant.

Oh...you've come with a wolf that chases the moon. I'm super excited because Marnagarum was supposedly the child of the famous Fenrir and was considered the strongest of them all. Then it's evolution! Yu Fang was surrounded by white light and evolved.

The evolved Yu-Tang grew in size, and its canine teeth grew out. Furthermore, its claws and fangs turned into transparent crystals, and crystals were coming out of its body. It was even more impressive. Even more so now that I'd seen the Aether Beast. Then Yuu Fang will flirt with you. Even though he became the most powerful wolf and increased in power, Yuu Fang is still very Yuu Fang. The fur that I was worried about was a combination of fresh snow and cloud-like fuzziness. Oh no...I'm going to sleep.

Shaking off my desire, I check the status.

Name Yu Fang Blizzard Wolf Lv 24 -> Marnagarum Lv 1

Life force 50 to 80.
Magical power 94 to 134.
Strength 76 to 106.
Defense value 86 to 116.

Ice Armor Lv2 Reflex Lv1 Freezing Breath Lv14 -> Extreme Cold Breath Lv14 Frozen Bullets Lv1
Blizzard Lv 1 Snow Hiding Lv 6 Instant Death Lv 1 Cold Resistant Lv 5 Mad Warriors Lv 1 Moon Blessing Lv 1

What's a quick death with defenses and resistance disabled? The bracelets were even stronger. I gave it a try, and it instantly froze the trees. This is terrible. I had them use more blizzards. Then the weather turned into a blizzard. Snowstorm on top of snowstorm. We got it stopped soon after. Lilly and her friends aren't equipped for the cold.

Next up was Aranea. I don't think there are many more monsters than a tsuchigumo, but what's coming? It has evolved to one destination.

The female spider

Huh? Aren't the spiders stronger than the earth spiders? Am I imagining things? The female spider is a famous youkai from the legend of the waterfall. I believe it was said to control a man with a string and drop him into a waterfall basin. I don't know the details, so let's take a look at the explanation.

The female spider spider...a spider monster that uses all kinds of threads to kill humans. Many men are attracted to it because of its beauty, and many of them still offer their lives even after they know its true identity.

I didn't know that legend existed. I didn't know that. Well, that's what the legends of demons turning into women are all about. Well, let's evolve! When Aranea was enveloped in purple light, she became smaller and smaller.

The evolution is over and there she is, dressed in kimono and with a bewitching atmosphere. However, a spider's foot is sticking out of her back. This is scary...it was horrible. Then Libina comes in.

'No!　Tact!　It's a spider!　It's a bug!　Bug!　Huh?

Livina's mouth stops moving. On the contrary, it moves away. This is...oh, there's a string attached to Livina's body. Scary! Nah, I see... the earth spider was the fighting type, but the female spider seems to be more proficient with the thread.

Status.

Name Aranea Tsuchigumo Lv 24 -> Female Spider Lv 1

Life force 60 to 90.
Magic power 84 to 114
Strength 80 to 110.

Earth hiding lv7 throwing lv7 earth magic lv5 dark magic lv10 curse lv1 -> curse destruction lv1　
Enchantment Lv 1, Emissary Lv 1, Specter Lv 1, Sorcery Lv 3, Awakening Lv 1

Hmm? I have my sewing. Aranea chuckles. No...I'm scared.

There's no water element, but the focus is on the steel wire. When Aranea uses steel wire, unlike black iron, she can manipulate the thread at will and cut it cleanly when she hits a rock like a whip. If it were a human body, it would be in pieces. Preposterous.

It's like a control string that blocks Livina's movements. It seems to be able to manipulate the string. That's a pretty nasty skill.

When I asked her to use an errand, a small spider appeared. And these spiders, of course, produce thread. This means that they don't have to take care of themselves anymore. Furthermore, they could tangle themselves with the thread more than twice as fast. That's strong.

Next is Iyuki. It was the first time I saw two evolutions. I'm quite pleased. Let's take a look at them.

Snow Woman.
Sneglachica

The Snow Woman, as you might expect, has no idea what Sneguratika is. From the name, it sounds Russian... but let's look at the description.

Snow Woman....a snow demon dressed in white that appears at night when it snows. She has very powerful snow and ice skills and can freeze any being to death. They are highly feared in snowy regions.

Sneguratika...a fairy that is said to appear on the snowy night before the holy night. She sends gifts to the good children and gives them dreams. She specializes in supporting her allies and has an unusual skill of gambling and not knowing what will come out of the bag she holds in her hand.

Sneguratika is a lot like Santa Claus in the description. The Snow Woman is a combat specialist and Sneguratika is a support role. Now, this is a problem... normally I'd pick the Snow Woman, but Sneguratika is interesting. There's a few support roles out there, so what to do...mmmm~.

Name Iyuki Yukidoko Lv 24 -> Snow Woman Lv 1

Life force 74 to 94.
Magic power 150 to 190.
Strength 60 to 100
Defensive value 54 to 74.

Weight manipulation Lv1 Instant death Lv1 Serial attack Lv1 Trap placement Lv1 Freeze wave Lv1

I've given in to the desire for a snow woman. I want a Sneguratika someday.

First of all, the evolved Iyuki has grown to about the front of my neck. Her figure became fashionable with the addition of blue to the white outfit she originally wore. Her long white hair and blue eyes remain the same, but her ears are now blue ice crystals. Overall, she's less childish and more like a junior high school girl. Iyuki is a snow woman, but she has a smile that isn't scary at all.

''I'm stronger now!　Dad!

Oh, yeah.

How old am I when a middle schooler calls me dad? Thinking about it won't give you the answer, so let's check your abilities. First, I'll ask about the luck manipulation I'm interested in.

''That's used to manipulate the luck of people who have icing resistance or something like that and freeze them up. On the other hand, it can also be used to stop people from going out of state on this side!

So... no need for resistance. It's too powerful to be able to manipulate luck. Apparently you can't control your drop luck or anything else. That's right...

Next, I was curious about the weight manipulation. I thought it was to be used as a weapon, but Isetsu doesn't have any weapons. Then what is it used for? Isetsu summons a small snowman. It's cute as it jumps around and moves around, but the moment it gets on me, it becomes heavy. I thought my shoulders were going to fall off.

'I'm sorry!　I made a mistake in adjusting it!

I can't be angry, and I'm mostly not. But the tragedy continues. As an apology, Isetsu went to do his signature neck attack, and before I could stop him, he got hit with a zero-range blizzard. From now on, the neck attack is banned. As for the stones, Ion and the others are scolding me.

Next up is Mir. Mir's evolution seems to be quite special. There were a whopping seven evolutionary destinations.

Hamadryuas.
Nero Hamadryuas
Acacia hamadryuas
baobab hamadryuas
coconut hamadryuas
date
cacao hamadryuas

This one here... is a sapling I have. Nero is Greek for water, so it must be a water tree. Let's have a look at the description.

Hamadryuas a true dryad with its own tree inhabited. He has the ability to turn people who harm the tree without sincerity into a sponge, uniting them with the tree where he dwells and turning them into nutrients for the tree. He can also divide the trees into different kinds of stock, and is called the father of the forest.

Nero Hamadryus: A dryad inhabiting the water tree. It can control the water that the tree produces, sometimes causing great floods and sometimes rain. The water has a cleansing effect, and can instantly revive the land where plants and trees have gone bad.

Acacia hamadryus - A dryad that resides in the acacia. It has the power to manipulate the wind and has a high life force that can survive in any dry land. By dividing the plant, it can produce large numbers of acacia trees.

Baobab Hamadryus...A dryad that resides in the baobab. They can manipulate the power of demons and are extremely strong against beings with star power, making them quite different from other dryads. He can increase the number of baobab trees by dividing the stock.

Coconut Hamadryuas...a dryad inhabiting the coconut palm. You can get one coconut a day. It also uses coconuts in its attack methods and is quite painful to hit. Basically, Hamadryuas is unsuitable for combat. You can increase the number of coconut trees by dividing the stock.

The date palm hamadryus...a dryad that resides in the date palm. You can get one date per day. The hamadryuas are quite unsuitable for combat. You can increase the number of date palm trees by dividing the plants.

Cacao hamadryus - A dryad inhabiting the cacao tree. You can get one cacao seed per day. They have a unique smell that attracts monsters. Hamadryus is basically unsuitable for battle. You can increase the number of cacao trees by dividing the stock.

Now, this is a problem. First of all, I'm going to dismiss the date palm. The question is whether to take production or combat. For production, coconuts are tempting, but I'm going to have to go with cacao. Chocolate is great.

In battle, the baobab will have the edge over the acacia and the baobab. The number of star monsters and such will increase in the future. The problem is the water tree. I think it's the strongest of all. I'm sure every Hamadryuas has its own share of the stock, since the base Hamadryuas has its own share.

I'm sure this place is still a water tree... it should be strong against demons as well. So it's evolution!

A column of water rises from the ground under Meal's feet and evolves. After the evolution was over, a two-meter sized water tree jumped into view. There was a Mir with human limbs sitting on a tree branch. He hadn't grown in height, but his clothes had changed to a dress decorated with grass and flowers, and on his head was a crown of grass.

'I can feel the power of the water tree... it's amazing. Takt-sama.

That's the kind of power that can cause a major flood. That would be awesome. Now let's check the status.

Name Meir Dryad Lv 24 -> Nero Hamadryas Lv 1

Vitality 94 to 124.
Magic power 114 to 154.
Strength 48 to 78.
Defensive Strength 44 to 84.
Agility 90 to 100
Dexterity value 96 to 126

Holy Water Lv 1 Rainmaker Lv 1 Flood Lv 1 Super Regeneration Lv 1 State Disable Lv 1
Parasitic tree Lv 17, trap placement Lv 17, plant summoning Lv 3, water tree blessing Lv 1

Yes, sir. Strong. When you can easily take out holy water, the goneth guys feel bad. Is it because they don't have much skill evolution, or is it because they have so many skills? Anyway, let's hear the important stuff.

'What's going on with the share split?'

I can do everything. But Mizuki can't seem to do it. She's pretty stubborn.

I can do it, after all. At this moment, I doubt the significance of the existence of the other production hamadryus, but I'm sure there must be some benefit to it. If it's production, they can make something of good quality. I'm sure it's a mistake to compare it to Mizuki. After all, the rarity level is different.

Okay, now for the last part of the evolutionary rush. As expected, there's only one place for Moonlight Night to evolve to.

Ogre.

Well, that's what's coming. Let's take a look at the description, in case you're wondering.

An ogre...a huge ogre with a fierce and brutal nature. Many people give it as a symbol of fear because of its low intelligence and rampaging instincts. It is said that its muscles and vitality are extremely strong, and once it begins to rampage, it never stops until it kills you or your opponent.

Well, it doesn't say anything good about him, does it?

Even though Tsukikuyao's intelligence is low, he's a good guy who listens to strategies and can wait for food, so I'm sure he'll be fine. Then let's evolve it. Moonlight Night emits a purple light and evolves.

The evolved Moonlight Night is about the same size as the Jotun I saw on the snowy mountains. It has two horns and a chain around its body. It's even more powerful. Now, let's check its status.

Name: Moonlit Night Lesser Ogre Lv 20 -> Ogre Lv 1

Vitality 94 to 124.
Magic power 56 to 76
Strength 157 to 187.
Defense value 76 to 96.
Agility 40 to 50
Dexterous value 40 to 50

skill
Hammer Lv 11 Axe Lv 1 Chain Lv 1 Fighting Lv 1 Fighting Lv 10 Physical Destruction Lv 6　
Defenses disabled Lv 1 Provocation Lv 1 Robust Lv 1 Robust Lv 1 Roar Lv 3 Assault Lv 9 Specter Lv 1　
Combat Elevation Lv 1 Throwing Lv 5 Regeneration Lv 2 Fear Lv 1 Fire Breath Lv 4 -> Flame Breath Lv 4　
Darkness Breath Lv 1 Darkness Breath Lv 1 Crazy Warrior Lv 1

The axe is coming, after all. He's already a power type no matter how you look at it, so I think his equipment will still be an axe or a greatsword. And the skill structure is a mess. It's robust, but it has zero intention of protecting you. I'm sure it's there to prevent your attacks from being cancelled. He's willing to take down people even while taking damage. That's what defense is for, and that's what provocation is for.

But it's a nasty one, but the status effect is there, and the provocation is there to force the attack. If you attack with long range attacks, you'll win.

This is the end of the evolutionary rush. Oh no, everyone's gotten stronger. Even so, the Aether Beast is still mostly an Aether Beast, around which I don't think you can win against an Aether Beast in a straightforward manner. Then, shall we head to Noah's place?
