The Four Attributes Orb entered a waiting state for a while.
It was unknown how long it would take for the fairy’s power to stabilize, but the results were to be eagerly awaited.
A few days after bestowing the divine tool upon the orb, one day.
Nana came to the management layer with two companions.
“Ah, I’m getting a sense of déjà vu…”
“Déjà vu?”
Silvia, who happened to be nearby, tilted her head and asked.
“Ah, no. It’s nothing. More importantly, Nana. Is it the same business as before?”
I tried to ask provisionally, but of course, I didn’t get a response.
However, she wagged her tail vigorously.
Seeing that, I felt it was somehow fitting, so I checked the state of the two wolves she brought without needing to summon the fairy.
As expected, both had achieved evolution.
One had evolved from a white wolf into a White Shadow Wolf, and the other had evolved from a black wolf into a Black Shadow Wolf.
As a common skill, they both possessed
As expected, both possessed
As a result of bestowing the blessing, they had probably evolved smoothly.
Just in case, I confirmed with the power of my right eye, and the display of
It was probably because the content that could be displayed had also disappeared due to their evolution.
It has already been confirmed that there are several types of
However, it has not been confirmed whether all beings that are trying to meet the conditions for evolution follow the same route.
Judging by their names and evolutionary states, I thought the order was Sprout → Growth → Bloom → Fruit (or Fruition), but I don’t know if that’s correct.
Provisionally, as far as I’ve seen, it seems correct, but it’s hard to say because it differs depending on the timing of observation.
As for the wolves this time, I saw the sprout state, but not beyond that.
Although I couldn’t see it, they have actually evolved, so there’s no doubt that the power of my right eye represents their evolutionary state.
“Hmm… I don’t think my way of thinking is wrong, but it feels like a rather inconvenient power.” Silvia refuted Kousuke’s muttering.
“No. Please don’t forget that ordinarily, one can’t see whether or not something will evolve.”
“That is true.”
“Even the Status display is just a display; whether or not one grows depends entirely on that person’s experience. Considering that, wouldn’t it be fine to think of the evolution display as similar?”
“Ah, I see. Thinking about it that way, my left and right eyes are essentially the same.”
At the time of the Status display, at least for my familiars, I had prepared an environment (like external enemies) to raise their Status.
For the evolution state display, it was also the case that they evolved after receiving
In the first place, evolution does not occur simply by bestowing a blessing.
Considering that, the reverse can also be seen.
“So, perhaps what I saw this time was only displayed when they evolved after receiving a blessing, and for other conditions, I might not have been able to see it.”
“There is a possibility of that.”
“Indeed.”
In other words, the power of my right eye is incomplete, and what I’m seeing now only displays conditions for a subset of cases.
It’s unnatural to assume there’s only one evolutionary condition, so it’s a perfectly plausible possibility.
“Well, regarding that, I guess I just have to learn to use the power of my right eye. Although I have no idea how to do it.”
“It can’t be helped as there’s nothing to refer to. We can only verify it slowly.”
“That’s right. Since it’s not something I can deal with right away, I’ll think about it carefully later, and for now, let’s go check on other things.”
“Other things?”
To Silvia, who tilted her head, Kousuke replied while stroking Nana’s neck.
“Of course, I’m going to check if the other summons have evolved.”
***
Silvia and Colette accompanied me on the investigation.
It was partly because I had free time, but also to confirm what kind of evolution the familiars were undergoing.
So far, I have not bestowed blessings on the familiars of towers other than Amamiya Tower.
While the environmental conditions at each tower are too different for a simple comparison, there are many aspects that can serve as references.
Furthermore, Silvia and Colette also have their own separate objectives, but I don’t intend to tell Kousuke about them for now.
This is because there are cases where the results might be negative, and I don’t think there’s any need to convey them unnecessarily.
First, we decided to check on the wolves on the 81st Floor.
Even though Nana brought two of them to the management layer, there might be individuals with different evolutions.
As a result, there were also individuals with different evolutions.
According to Nana, as interpreted by Colette, they were planning to bring them to this floor from the beginning.
The reason she only brought two was simply to inform them that evolved individuals existed.
In that regard, after confirming the wolves, the black wolves had undergone two more different changes.
One species was the Black Wolf Head.
It was like a black wolf version of the White Wolf Head, and they had gained the ability to use magic skills.
The other species was the Black Speed Wolf.
These could all use the
Not all individuals to whom I bestowed blessings previously have evolved, so it is necessary to continue observing them.
Furthermore, it is interesting that the white wolves, which did not show
This also indirectly proved that the condition I had considered before—”only those who evolve when bestowed with a blessing are displayed”—is not something that is always displayed.
“It’s becoming even more incomprehensible…”
I couldn’t determine whether my newly awakened power had a narrow scope of application or if it was inherently this kind of power.
If it’s the former, it’s still good, but if it’s the latter, it becomes unfathomable in various ways.
To gather information about that, I decided to go and see the state of the familiars in floors other than where the wolves were.
Previously, I bestowed blessings on all familiars summoned to Amamiya Tower, excluding the Hiryu, including the Fox spirits like the Tenko and Jiko.
As a result, evolution was confirmed in all the species to which blessings were bestowed.
First, the Slimes, like the wolves, underwent multiple types of evolution.
In fact, multiple types were confirmed in the Southeast Tower, so it could be considered natural.
Their strength also seems to have increased considerably, and Beginner Monsters are no longer a match for them.
It might be time to set up summoning circles for Intermediate Monsters soon.
Next, the Mini Dragons, for their part, had evolved differently from those in the Northwest Tower.
Upon checking their skills, they had gained the
Their species name was displayed as Wing Dragon.
Upon hearing the name, Silvia and Colette gave a dry laugh.
And for good reason, Wing Dragons are a level of Dragon that even multiple high-ranking adventurers would struggle to defeat.
By the way, in terms of tower floors, they are strong enough to be found in the eighties.
Although I couldn’t help but think they had grown too quickly, I decided to accept the fact as it was, thinking that perhaps it was natural for Dragons, which are inherently strong creatures.
The Wraiths also followed a different evolutionary path than those in the Northeast Tower.
While the Intelligent Spirit Bodies found in the Northeast Tower did not appear, a species called Magic Spirit Body did.
Basically, they are the same as Chi-Wraiths in that they can use magic skills, but they also have the
Like Chi-Wraiths, they exhibit movements that suggest intelligence, unlike regular Wraiths.
Next, we headed to check on the Goblins, and they had undergone such a metamorphosis that Kousuke and the others were astonished.
Although the Dragons evolved from Beginner to Advanced in an instant, there are also Dragons in the intermediate floors, of course.
However, I reasoned that it was strange for Dragons capable of using divine power to be in the intermediate level, and thus decided to have them grow all at once.
The results for other species will be reported in the next story.
…Goblins…
