How could one sentence contain such a stubborn personality.
I know that Caspian the human magician was Pelerian's rival (actually an even more amazing magician than Pelerian).
They were never close enough to call each other comrades.
Though they must have been hostile, sohow it was written that he tried to co save the dying Pelerian.
Why?
"We were not such relations. Never!"
According to Pelerian's incomplete mories, it's nonsense.
'That's just your opinion, maybe this Caspian person was actually nice? Like an honorable enemy who would save you?'
"Puhah! Nonsense. That bastard was a psycho without blood or tears and full of flaws."
The fact that he laughs rather than rages suggests it's true.
Anyway looking at what's here now.
'Seems this Caspian person never ca here. Or couldn't co.'
"I see..."
Pelerian's journal, the golden key, various items remained as they were.
No traces of intrusion either.
What was all this about.
Does this an we should consider Pelerian still alive?
The journal says death was unavoidable but I'm not sure.
'By the way, there's a lot of shocking content.'
"Indeed there is."
It was a journal recording the world's secrets.
The most surprising was.
'That the continent will soon perish...'
"That I gave up on fairy evolution..."
My and Pelerian's surprising points differed, but.
The reason Pelerian abandoned his lifelong wish was because he discovered the continent would perish, so the tracks aligned.
'Imperial Palace ans that empire right? What's in their underground garden?'
The journal said 'The End' lives and breathes there.
Is End so kind of alias for a monster?
"End refers to monsters that can destroy the continent."
'Is it similar to those called Calamities?'
"There are indeed monsters called Calamities."
Among nad monsters, particularly amazing ones are called things like Several Calamities or Calamity of Sowhere.
They say so monsters can actually destroy small kingdoms alone but.
If only it were believable. If there were that many such monsters, wouldn't the continent have perished long ago?
The power inflation is severe. No different from how even Krillin could supposedly destroy Earth by power level standards later in DragonX.
"But End is different. End monsters will soday destroy the continent. Such prophecies have been passed down in various ways since ancient tis. Every sect has received such divine ssages."
'No matter how strong a single monster is, how could it destroy the continent? Just going from one end to the other would take ages.'
It wasn't mockery but pure curiosity.
"Though I don't know what form the End monster will take, End monsters are said to have no limit to growth. They keep getting stronger by endlessly devouring others. Eventually even other monsters beco subordinate to End and beco its limbs. If that's true, it wouldn't be impossible."
No limit to growth.
That's totally like .
'They're raising such a monster in the Imperial underground garden? Why did they do that?'
"I wouldn't know. I can hardly believe it in the first place..."
It was an absurd thing even Pelerian himself found hard to believe.
But Pelerian's main body, or Pel-body for short, seed sincere.
Then when exactly is the world supposed to end?
Pelerian's lifelong pursuit, 'fairy evolution'.
If he gave up on that, the remaining ti must not have been long.
I searched the journal thoroughly.
And found the part with the remaining ti written!
「Perhaps, the ti given to us... roughly 20 years.」
20 years.
Not a ti that could be called short.
By fairy standards, 20 years might be unavoidable.
Fortunately quite a while left.
'Wait.'
Suddenly realized.
'Hasn't 20 years already passed?'
"Uh... you're right."
Surprised, I looked at the journal and the sentence continued on the next page.
「...or at latest within 120 years. Oh, inevitable death. Liquor already drunk.」
Sigh. These fairies.
Have we already beco mid-apocalypse?
Not sure.
If I ever get a chance to visit the Imperial Palace.
I'd like to et that friend called End in the underground garden.
Maybe they're actually a nice friend with no intention of destroying the world.
Though I probably won't ever et them.
"Take that key."
The gold-carved key.
Looking closely, it was hard to even call it a key.
Because it was bent all wobbly, looking like a unique piece of craftwork.
"It's a Royal Bank key. For a special vault that can never be forged."
'You were going to hand this over to that human magician right? What's inside?'
"I don't rember. We'll know when we open it."
Pelerian said proudly.
What would bank clerks say if I went to the bank, presented the key, and asked them to open the vault?
They'd probably go 'Aak! A snake!' or 'Please take a number first'.
I'll think about it later.
To be honest.
I had sothing that interested more than the world's destruction right now.
'Let's evolve first then think about it.'
"Well, sure, do that."
After a long ti.
It's evolution ti.

※Evolution precautions.
-Evolve in a safe place.
-Evolve with gratitude.
-Choose evolution carefully.
No problems with evolution if you mind these three things.
This underground dungeon of Pelerian's had no issues regarding safety.
Because it was built very sturdily, and covered by the collapsed stone tower above.
I tried to sleep to see my evolution choices and have an exciting evolution.
Because evolution options would appear in sleep.
I'll pick sothing good and evolve right away.
Though I told Pelerian this and went to sleep.
"...Sasak!"
I had to wake up startled.
"Why, what is it."
'Uh, the evolution thod is different from usual?'
The options appearing is the sa.
But this evolution wouldn't end with just a good night's sleep.
'It says it takes about 30 days.'
"Hooh, tamorphosis huh."
'That's not it?'
"No, I an tamorphosis like when insects or beasts change form."
'Ah!'
In other words, like caterpillars becoming butterflies and mosquito larvae becoming mosquitoes.
Like becoming a pupa, it takes a whole month to evolve?
"The situation actually worked out well."
'That's true.'
It wouldn't be easy to spend 30 days evolving out in the dangerous world.
Being trapped underground actually beca a good situation.
"I'll organize my thoughts a bit, you go ahead and evolve."
'Shall I?'
Pelerian then slipped into the ring.
Isil in the flowerpot twitched.
'Want to go inside the ring too?'
With it taking 30 days, Isil would get hungry too.
Stay in the safe spatial storage.
After putting Isil and miscellaneous items in spatial storage, I tried evolving again.
Soon, drowsiness washed over .

Oh my god.
A chance to change species has arrived.
Literally could beco a small snake-headed wyvern.
Maybe because two Wyvern Queens mistook for their child?

Oh!
It's Serpent!
Finally can evolve into a serpent.
But Big Head ans becoming a big head?
Don't want a big head...
Maybe losing the crown if I beco Big Head Serpent.
That would be a big problem.

eting the 'Little' modifier after a while.
Does that an becoming small again?
But that modifier sohow feels familiar.
Little Prince, hmm... feels like I've heard it sowhere before.
