Chapter 376: Ether Beast Evolution Rush |
First it started with Chess. There is one evolution destination.
Arcas Bear
Arcas? Ursa Minor? Let's look at the description.
Arcas Bear
A white bear that has awakened to the power of the stars. It inhabits high altitude snowy mountains and extremely cold regions, close to the stars. It swims smoothly underwater and boasts unparalleled strength in close combat.
I'm glad to see the underwater battle being strengthened. Now let's go evolve! Chess shines silver and evolution begins.
The evolved Chess has grown a bit and is equipped with ice axes on both arms. How cool!
And the customary fur check. I'm buried in the fur and covered in cool, silky fur. I want this in the summer! I don't need an air conditioner.
Then, I'll check the status.

His defense has been strengthened terribly. No wonder he is unrivaled in melee combat. When I try out the star armor, Chess's body is enveloped in a shimmering film. He also seems to be able to use ice armor at the same time. It also has magic resistance, so it's hard.
And he has an axe, but no logging...I was kind of hoping for that.
Now, let's move on to Gale. There's only one evolution destination.
Nemea
This is a no-no. The lion of Nemea is the lion that became Leo, the famous lion of Hercules' first penance. It is famous for the fact that Hercules' arrows and club didn't work. Let's look at the description.
Nemea
A golden lion that lives in a cave in a deep valley. It has a pelt that is impenetrable to all weapons and it has the power to manipulate weapons at will. Its pelt is the best armor, but it is very tough to defeat.
Hmm? There's no explanation for the stars. Let's evolve it anyway. When Gale evolves, he glows gold.
The evolved Gale grows larger and its fur becomes golden. Its horn becomes unicorn-shaped and blue lightning gushes out from his entire body. This one looks strong.
The fur feels a little scratchy. Well, this is quite nice, just like grass on the lawn.
Now, let's check his status.
Name Gale Lightning Beast Lv24 → Nemea Lv1

Golden Blessing Lv1
This looks like an attempt to express the legend of the Nemean lion with lightning. Let's give it a try.
"Let's go. Gale"
"Gau!"
I take out my liebling silver sword and instead of aiming at Gale, I throw it. Then Gale releases electricity and the liebling silver sword floats back inside. Then the silver sword comes back to me. This is electromagnetic armor and electromagnetic manipulation...I feel like this is the reason why metal weapons have no effect on the nemean lion.
Incidentally, I also tried the golden armor, which also did no damage at all with the silver sword. I guess this one is the legend of the club.
Next, when I asked him to use the earth vein manipulation, Gale screamed and a series of raised rocks came out of the ground. Cool.
Finally, the lightning rod. A golden needle shoots out from Gale's mane and pierces the rock. Just when you think it's too good to be true, electricity flows through it. You're not allowed to touch it.
Next is Byakuya´s turn. Again only one evolution destination.
Byakko
This one is as I expected. I thought it would come across another one, but it seems that's not the case. The white tiger is a Chinese divine beast, one of the four gods. It protects the west. Let's see what it stands for in this game.
Byakko
A white tiger that protects the west in the land of the east. It is the king of the beasts and insects that protect nature by manipulating divine powers and the spirit of the wild. It is said that it is also versed in spiritual power and its appearance is rarely seen.
Umm. Is it an enemy that doesn't appear on this continent? And it seems that divine power appears. It is an image of an ability that can do just about anything, but let's see what happens. Let's evolve him. Byakuya is enveloped in white light and evolves.
The evolved Byakuya becomes large, the white smoke that it was wearing turns blue and a white ball like a treasure ball floats on the surface. There is not that much change in his appearance, but let's check out his fur for now. But I can't touch it...Byakuya is there, but why?
"Gau"
Byakuya squints and makes a smug face. Damn! I feel so defeated! First, let's find out what his skills are.
Name Byakuya Hermit Tiger Lv24 → Byakko Lv1
Vitality 54→84
Magic Power 80→110
Strength 90→130
Defense 46→76
Agility 120→160

Hermit Spirit Lv17
Spirit Power Lv17
Spiritification Lv1
Holy Wave Motion Lv1
Whirlwind Lv9 → Storm Lv9
Roar Lv13
Sprint Lv23 → Shukuchi Lv23
Wild Spirit Lv1
Isn't this bad? First of all, tashintsuu, jinsokutsuu and tennitsuu are divine powers.
Tashintsuu can read the mind of the other person, Jinsokutsuu can fly over mountains and seas as it pleases and the Tennitsuu can hear distant sounds that are normally inaudible.
And the thing that interferes with my mofumofu is spiritification. If he becomes a spirit, I can't touch him. And when it comes to controlling the nature of the forest and the ground, it is one of the four gods, as it is said. Now...as for being a spirit....
"If you become a spirit, you won't be able to eat or brush your teeth..."
"Gau!?"
When I said that, he let me mofumofu him. The fur of Byakuya is fluffy. Because if he's spiritualized and can't be hit by attacks, there's no need to harden his fur. It was a supreme time.
And next is Yuuga, another candidate for mofumofu. There is still one evolution destination.
Managarm
The ghastly things keep coming...Managarm is a wolf from Norse mythology. Of the two wolves, Skoll and Hati, who chase the sun and run in front of it, Managarm is the wolf identified with Hati. In case you're wondering, the name means moon dog. How about in this game? Let's look at the description.
Managarm
A wolf that chases the moon. It hates the sun and inhabits a land where it snows year round. Its icy breath ends the life of all beings and boasts the power to freeze even scorching flames in an instant.
Oh...here comes the wolf that chases the moon. Managarm is the child of the famous Fenrir, who was said to be the strongest of them all, so I have super high hopes for him. Evolution, then! Yuuga is enveloped in a white light and evolves.
The evolved Yuuga became bigger and its canine teeth grew longer. Furthermore, its claws and fangs have become transparent crystals and crystals are coming out from all over its body. He is more powerful. It was even more so since I had seen the ether beast. Then, Yuuga started to play with me. Even though he has become the strongest wolf and his power has increased, Yuuga is still Yuuga. The fur that I was worried about was a combination of fresh snow and cloud-like fluffiness. Oh no...I'm going to sleep.
Shaking off the desire, I check the status.
Name Yuuga Blizzard Wolf Lv24 → Managarm Lv1

Snow Hiding Lv6
Instant Death Lv1
Cold Resistance Lv5
Berserkerification Lv1
Moon Blessing Lv1
What is instant death with defense and resistance nullified? Furthermore, the breath became even stronger. When I asked him to try it, the trees froze in an instant. This is terrible. I also asked him to use snowstorm. Then the weather turned into a snowstorm. It was a higher version of a snowfall. I asked him to stop immediately. Lily and the others are not equipped for cold weather.
Next was Aranea. I don't think there are many Youkais better than the Tsuchigumo, but what do you think is coming? There's one evolution destination.
Jorogumo
Huh? Isn't the Tsuchigumo stronger? Is it my imagination? Jorogumo is a famous monster in the legend of the waterfall. I believe it was said that it manipulates men with strings and drops them into a waterfall basin. I don't know the details, so let's see the explanation.
Jorogumo
A spider demon that kills humans using all kinds of threads. Many men would come to it because of its beauty and many men would offer their lives to it even after learning of its true identity.
I didn't know there was such a legend. I didn't know that. Well, there are a lot of legends about yokai that turn into women, aren't there? Then, let's evolve! Aranea was enveloped in a purple light and became smaller.
When the evolution was over, there she was, dressed in a kimono, a landlady with a bewitching atmosphere. But there are spider legs sticking out of her back. This is scary...I was horrified. Then comes Ribina.
"Not good! Takuto! That is a spider! It's a bug! A bug! !!?"
Ribina's mouth stops moving. On the contrary, it moves away. This is...ah, a string is attached to Ribina's body. Scary! I see...the Tsuchigumo was a fighting type, but the Jorogumo seems to be more proficient with threads.
Look at the status.
Name Aranea Tsuchigumo Lv24 → Jorogumo Lv1

Magic Power 84→114
Strength 80→110

Employment Lv1
Ghostly Atmosphere Lv1
Sorcery Lv3
Awakening Lv1
Oh? She has sewing as a skill. Aranea smiles. No good...I'm scared.
There's no water element, but the focus is on the steel wire. When Aranea uses steel wire, unlike Kurogane, she can manipulate the threads at will and when she hits a rock like a whip, it cuts cleanly. If it were a human body, it would be dismembered. It's a tough act to follow.
It seems that the strings are used to control the movement of Ribina. It seems that she can manipulate people with strings. That's a pretty heinous skill.
When I asked her to use her employment, a small spider appeared. And this spider, of course, produces strings. In other words, you no longer need to touch them yourself. And furthermore, it can now entangle itself with the threads more than twice as fast. It is very strong.
Next is Iyuki. How nice, for the first time, there were two evolution destinations. I'm quite happy. Let's take a look.
Yuki Onna
Snegurochka
As expected for Yuki Onna, Snegurochka is completely unknown to me. The name sounds Russian, but...let's take a look at the description.
Yuki Onna
A snow monster dressed in white who appears on snowy nights. Possessing extremely powerful snow and ice skills, she freezes all beings to death. She is greatly feared in the snow country.
Snegurochka
A fairy who is said to appear on the snowy night before the holy night. She gives presents to good children and gives them dreams. She specializes in supporting her allies and has an unusual skill that allows her to gamble on what will come out of the bag she holds in her hand.
Snegurochka is like Santa Claus, according to the description. Yuki Onna specializes in combat, while Snegurochka is a supportive person. Now, this is a problem...normally I would choose Yuki Onna, but Snegurochka is interesting. There are a lot of support roles out there, so what to do...mmmm~.
Name Iyuki Snow Child Lv24 → Yuki Onna Lv1

Freezing Wave Motion Lv1
I have given in to the desire of a Yuki Onna. I want a Snegurochka someday.
First of all, the evolved Iyuki grew to about the size of my neck. Her appearance became fashionable with the addition of blue to the white outfit she originally wore. Her long white hair and blue eyes are the same and her ears are blue ice crystals. Overall, she looks less childish and more like a girl in junior high school. She is a Yuki Onna, but she shows a smile that is not scary at all.
"I'm stronger now! Father!"
"O, Ou"
How old am I that a junior high school student calls me father? Thinking about it won't give me an answer, so let's check her abilities. First of all, let's ask her about fortune manipulation, which I'm curious about.
"I use it to freeze people's fortunes. On the other hand, it is also possible to make everyone immune to abnormal conditions!"
I see...no need for resistance. Fortune manipulation is too powerful, isn't it? By the way, I heard that she can't manipulate drop luck. That's right~.
The next thing that caught my attention was the weight manipulation. I thought it would be used for weapons, but Iyuki doesn't have any weapons. Then what is it used for? Iyuki summons a small snowman. It's cute how it jumps and moves around, but the moment it gets on me, it becomes heavy. I thought my shoulders would fall off.
"I, I´m sorry! I made a mistake adjusting it!"
I'm usually the one who can't get angry. But the tragedy continues. Iyuki said she would do her signature neck attack as an apology and before I could stop her, she hit me with a zero-range blizzard. From now on, neck attacks are forbidden. She's scolded by the quirky Ion.
Next is Mir. Mir's evolution seems to be quite special. There were a whopping seven evolution destinations.
Hamadryas
Nero Hamadryas
Acacia Hamadryas
Baobab Hamadryas
Coconut Hamadryas
Date Hamadryas
Cacao Hamadryas
That's that... that's the sapling I have. Nero is Greek for water, so it's probably a water tree. Let's take a look at the description.
Hamadryas
A true dryad whose own tree is fixed. It is an entity that chastises those who harm the tree without sincerity and has the ability to unite with the tree in which it resides and transform it into nutrients for the tree. It is also able to divide the tree into different stocks and is called the creator of the forest.
Nero Hamadryas
A dryad that resides in a water tree. It can manipulate the water produced by the tree, sometimes causing great floods and sometimes bringing blessed rain. The water also has a purifying effect and is powerful enough to instantly revive the land where plants and trees have been ruined.
Acacia Hamadryas
A dryad that resides in acacias. It has the power to manipulate the wind and has a high vitality that allows it to survive in any withered land. It can produce a large number of acacia trees by stock division.
Baobab Hamadryas
A dryad inhabiting a baobab. It can manipulate the power of demons and is extremely strong against beings with the power of stars, making it a very different kind of Hamadryas. It can increase the number of baobab trees by dividing the plants.
Coconut Hamadryas
A dryad inhabiting a coconut palm. It can obtain one coconut per day. It also uses coconuts in their attacks, which are quite painful when they hit. Basically, Hamadryas is not suited for combat. It is possible to increase the number of coconut trees by dividing the plants.
Date Hamadryas
A dryad that resides in a date palm. It can get one date per day. Hamadryas is not suitable for fighting. It is possible to increase the number of date palm trees by dividing the plants.
Cacao Hamadryas
A dryad that dwells in cacao. It is possible to obtain one cacao fruit per day. Its unique smell has the power to lure monsters to it. Basically, Hamadryas are not suited for combat. He can increase the number of cacao trees by dividing the plants.
Now, this is a problem. First of all, I'm rejecting the date palm. The question is whether to take production or combat. For production, coconuts would be hard to discard, but I think cacao is the way to go. Chocolate is great.
In terms of combat, acacia and baobab are different, but baobab has the advantage. There will be more star monsters in the future. The problem is Mizuki. I think it is the strongest by far. The basic Hamadryas have a stock split, so I am sure that every Hamadryas has a stock split.
I think it must be a water tree...it must be strong against demons. So, evolution!
A column of water rises from the ground at Mir's feet and evolves. After the evolution, a two-meter water tree jumps into view. There was Mir, with human arms and legs, sitting on a tree branch. Her height has not grown, but her clothes have changed to a dress adorned with grass and flowers and on her head is a crown of grass.
"I feel the power of the water tree...awesome. Takuto-sama"
It is the power that can cause a great flood, isn't it? That must be great. Then, let's check the status.
Name Mir Dryad Lv24 → Nero Hamadryas Lv1

Water Tree Blessing Lv1
Yes, she's strong. The Gonesse guys are in a sucky mood when they can easily produce holy water. I wonder if it's because there are so many skills that there hasn't been much evolution in skills? Anyway, let me ask her something important.
"How do you divide the plants?"
"I can do all of them. But Mizuki doesn't seem to be able to do it. It is very stubborn"
I knew she could do it. At this moment, I doubt the significance of the existence of hamadryas in other production, but I am sure there must be some benefit. Like, if it's production, they can make a quality product. It is surely a mistake to compare them with water trees. After all, the rarity is different.
Now, the last of the evolution rush. As expected, Rukiya has one evolution destination.
Ogre
Well, that's how it's going to be. Let's take a look at the description.
Ogre
A huge demon with a ferocious and brutal character. It has low intelligence and rampaging instincts, so many people consider it a symbol of fear. It is said that its strength and vitality are so high that once it starts rampaging, it will never stop until it is either dead or has killed its opponent.
Well, they don't write good things about it, do they?
Even though Rukiya is not very intelligent, he is a good guy who listens to your plans and can wait for his dinner, so I'm sure he'll be fine. So, let's evolve. Rukiya emits a purple light and evolves.
The evolved Rukiya is the same size as the Jotun we saw in the snowy mountains. It has two horns and a chain wrapped around its body. It is much more powerful. Now, let's check his status.
Name Rukiya Lesser Ogre Lv20 → Ogre Lv1

Berserkerification Lv1
I knew the axe was coming. I think he will be equipped with an axe or a large sword since he is a power type. And his skill set is a mess. He has solid, but he doesn't care about protection. I'm sure it's there to prevent him from canceling attacks. He's ready to take damage and knock you down. That's what the defense no effect and provocation are for.
However, although this is a nuisance, it is an effective abnormal condition and the provocation forces the attacker to attack. If we attack from a distance, we can win.
With this, the evolution rush is over. Oh no, everyone is getting stronger. Still, I don't think we can beat the ether beast in a straight fight and the ether beast is pretty much the same. Well, let's head to Noah's place, shall we?
