〖So, what do you think~〗
『I feel the same way.』
『Humans are all equally disgusting.』
…
Damned bastard!
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
To think he was that greedy!
Completely messing up my original plan…
I kicked the gravel on the ground in anger.
Curse it all!
“Experience points have reached a certain threshold.
The individual “Small Elroe Petrotort” has leveled up from LV.18 to LV.19.”
“Experience points have reached a certain threshold.
The individual “Small Elroe Petrotort” has leveled up from LV.19 to LV.20.”
“Experience points have reached a certain threshold.
The individual “Small Elroe Petrotort” can now evolve.”
“Please choose from the following evolution paths.”
Forget it, forget it.
Evolving earlier or later makes no difference anyway.
However…
I definitely need to find another chance to lure even more adventurers into the Great Elroe Labyrinth.
That way, I can further boost my grinding efficiency!
Alright then!
Time for the thrilling moment for this lizard!
Let’s see what this evolution is all about!
What can I evolve into~
Hmm…?
By the way, [Appraisal] leveled up to LV.8 just now, too.
Nice, nice!
Then let’s check out the information on the evolutionary species while I’m at it!
“<Rock Lizard>”
“An adult individual of the Small Elroe Petrotort.
It possesses an extreme affinity for the Earth element, along with strong resistance and tolerance toward other elements.
It excels at incorporating [Petrification] into its various attacks, and can freely traverse through earth and stone.”
Mm-hmm!
…
Mm-hmm…?
Ah, is that it?
There’s only one evolution path?
To think I even thought through how to weigh my options if multiple evolution paths appeared.
I feel a bit disappointed…
I thought maybe something like <Sage Lizard> might show up…
Still, this species feels pretty awesome.
It’s an all-around enhancement, so to speak!
Magic, defense, and attack have all gone up!
It even has a super convenient burrowing skill.
I won’t be picky.
My SP reserves should be enough.
Well then… This story is hosted at g.com.
Let’s do this!
Evolve!
…
Hey, hey…
Is it over?
I crawled up from the mossy ground and stretched my brand-new body.
Feels pretty great!
My whole body is brimming with power!
Uh, looks like I’ve grown quite a bit bigger, though…
I used to be only about a meter long, now it’s roughly doubled.
It’s alright, though.
The mossy patch can still barely fit me.
I extended my claw again and observed my forelimbs.
In the gaps between the dark gray scales, black lines flowed through like living creatures.
Oh?
So that’s what “strong tolerance” meant?
I mainly use Earth Magic and Dark Magic.
The stuff belonging to the Earth element goes without saying, but the elemental energy of Dark Magic is actually manifesting on my body in another form.
Feels pretty cool!
Since that’s the case, let’s use [Appraisal LV.8]!
Here goes!

Woah, woah, woah!
My HP broke past 2000?!
And…
these stats have absolutely exploded!
This Resistance capability is ridiculously high, hey!
Max-level [Divine Scales LV.10] really is incredible!
Doesn’t this mean I’m basically a super agile tank now?
Hehehe…
Right, now I can even see Titles!
Let me take a look…
Mm…
Kumoko has gotten a few of these too…
Eh?
Source of Contamination?
Is it related to that weird skill again…?
Well, it’s strong and super useful anyway~
Alright, let’s look at the description!
<Source of Contamination>
“The source from which the contamination effect exists.”
What kind of crap is this…
It’s like saying nothing at all…
Contamination effect…?
Feels about the same as the skill effect description…
Tsk, couldn’t a certain someone put a bit more heart into writing the status panel…?
What a lazy bum!
…
At my current level, killing low-level monsters in the Upper Stratum basically yields no level-ups anymore.
The Middle Stratum can only serve as an occasional change of pace.
My Fire Resistance is ridiculously high now anyway, so aside from certain high-tier Wyrm species, there’s nothing to fear.
As for the Lower Stratum…
Better forget about that one, it’s way too easy to run into terrifying giant creatures.
Looking at it this way…
If I want to raise my level in the next step, I can only rely on killing adventurers…
My current strength is definitely not a problem, and now that I have a skill like passing through walls, combined with super-strong perception, finding adventurers will be super easy!
However…
The numbers are too small!
It’d be great if there were more…
It’s all that guy’s fault from earlier!
Sigh, is there any other way to effectively attract more adventurers…
I idly flipped through the skill panel, my tail swishing back and forth behind me.
Suddenly, my gaze swept past the [Contamination LV.4] skill, and a clever idea formed in my mind…
…
This method will definitely work, I really am a genius!
Looks like it’s time to pay another visit to Kumoko~
