The fireball flew and I felt its impact on my mana reserves. This spell consud far more mana than its predecessor.
Its destructive capabilities were far beyond its previous version as well. The boar below got engulfed in flas after the fireball shattered on its hide. It burned for a good minute or so, all while the boar ran around frantically as it was burned alive.

I couldn’t believe the power that I held. I’d killed this boar with a single spell.
What was even more unbelievable, I could still upgrade the spell one more ti, which was exactly what I was going to do right now. I’d received a large number of evolution points from that creature.
I checked how many points I had available.
Na: Kealyna
Race: Giant Rainbow Resica
Level: 5/10
Experience: 90/350
Evolution Points: 162 35
That many points would be enough to upgrade both my fireball and my mana reserves to their current maximum level. I used 55 out of 62 remaining points to increase my mana regeneration by two levels.
After a few minutes of carefully going through the enhancents one by one. I could feel the effects of “Strong Mana Regeneration” kick in imdiately.
It would seem I got my answers as to whether higher-tier skills would require more mana to cast. They did, which I should have known from the fact that this blessing forced to increase my reserves first before being able to acquire higher levels of castable spells.
Honestly, these spells were far too strong to not upgrade. I truly wished I could be more of a knight and opt into defense. The defense and support skills that the yellow evolution promised tugged at , but I knew now that I was absolutely going for the blue one.
Co to think of it, the yellow evolution also stated sothing like “Allows spells to be rged.”
Elysa?
This evolution allows you to rge existing skills into new skills that combine properties of both skills.
Could I get an example?
You could make your spider thread venomous or combine both physical and magical barriers into one.
Crap.
That last one would be quite the spell. I felt conflicted as I felt like it would be sothing that I’d love to take, if only it was to teach Cellestra the spell…
Why did my mind wander off to her again? I knew that the blue evolution could offer the best tools to grow stronger, yet here I was considering taking an evolution for soone other than .
I looked down at the boar that I’d killed with the fireball and watched as the flas ate away at what was now a blackened corpse. There would be nothing left to take ho. Not that that was an issue, we still had most of the other boar.
The sll was nice, though…
I thought back to the questions I had earlier. I realized that I’d forgotten to check after I had just evolved. I couldn’t help but put the bla on being distracted by Cellestra. She seed to do that a lot.
Earlier, I had absent-mindedly stated that the number of evolution points I could get was severely limited to which the blessing had responded without asking that it was an incorrect assumption.
What’s up with that, Elysa?
One of your final evolution’s skills offers a way to get additional evolution points.
That was a good thing to know.
Wait a second…
Which of the three final choices offers speech?
All of them do.
Speech and a way to get more evolution points? That sounded amazing.
I was even more desperate to get there as quickly as possible.
I was eager to see what other spells would be offered if I selected the blue evolution, but I quickly turned my attention back to the present. I still had a long way to go and didn’t want to sit by idly.
It was scary just how easily I killed off that boar, and even scarier how I was eager to repeat it until I’d gathered the necessary power.
May Elysa have rcy on for mindlessly killing these animals.
I didn’t know what the goddess expected of . I started wondering about it. I an, I was a knight and as much as I loved life, I had no trouble taking it when that’s what was needed to protect others. It felt like she was steering away from that path. Why?
I didn’t let my mind wander off further. I still had to find more prey.
I climbed down and continued my trip deeper into the forest.
It wasn’t that there was no wildlife about, there was plenty, but I knew that squirrels, snakes, and other small animals would be pointless for to kill. I killed a hedgehog with a venom bolt, just to be sure, but regretted my decision when it gave no experience.
Poor hedgehog…
I ca across an anteater which I blatantly ignored. I already knew it would be pointless.
As I explored I made sure to keep in mind in what direction Cellestra’s ho was located.
Cellestra…
How did she survive in this forest, alone? Wild wolves seed to roam closely around her house. Has she never run into trouble with them? Then again, she could cast fireballs…
Thoughts of the elf had distracted once more. I almost didn’t notice the creature in front of until it growled.
There was a wolf before , and it was close. I quickly cast my physical barrier as it leaped forward.
I had cast it just in case, but I jumped out of the way. I had no intention of getting hit by this creature’s teeth. I knew my barrier was quite strong, but I wasn’t going to test to see just how strong.
As the wolf turned to face again, I cast my fireball and aid for its fur. It was bound to burn just as well as the boar’s.
It was slightly bigger and hotter than the one I had cast before. Its power was undeniably greater; I could gather as much from the extra mana that flowed into the spell. I finalized the cast and jumped back after firing.
The fireball struck the beast's snout with an explosion that sent flas rolling across its body. The wolf, like the boar, tried to run away in frantic panic and pain. It didn’t take long for the flas to end its life.

Such a horrible way to kill…
I wished I could wield weapons or at least other forms of magic that could make this as quick and as painless as possible. I doubted my ice lance would do the trick, unless the highest rank was stronger than I expected and it could pierce hide and heart.
I wasn’t sure if I should even upgrade my ice lance for the mont. The destructive ability that this fireball currently had was beyond what I initially thought possible. Besides that, I would have to spend a lot of evolution points on it that I could probably spend better elsewhere.
I walked towards the wolf’s corpse when I heard an angry-sounding howl from nearby.
From the nearby vegetation appeared a wolf far larger in size than the charred remains before . I think it was about twice the mass. It had spotted and I swore I could see a fire burning in its eyes. I quickly started climbing inside the nearest tree, knowing that it was likely out for revenge.
It was fast too.
Before I could even cast my fireball properly, it was already jumping at as I climbed the trunk.
I fired a paralytic venom bolt at it as I ascended. I cleanly hit its back and fired again.
The second bolt missed as the wolf started climbing the tree as well. I made my way up to one of the higher branches and fired another paralytic venom bolt that hit right between the eyes. It didn’t seem to pierce its skull, unfortunately.
I moved to another branch where I would have a better line of sight to its vulnerable parts. I then fired another two paralytic venom bolts that did properly pierce its hide.
I had no idea how many bolts a wolf of this size needed so I kept firing and hitting until I was out of venom. I didn’t dare to use my fireball currently as I could set the tree itself ablaze… with in it.
I could try to rappel myself down, but this wolf had shown incredible speed. I had no doubt it would outrun or even snatch while I was in mid-air before that.
I hoped the venom would do its work soon.
