"Hmm, you HAVE to try the Draconic Swamp Ruler's meat, Sylphy! It's too good!" Aquarina said, munching on a huge sandwich she prepared, with a huge steak of the Tier 9 Monster we hunted. "So juicy~ Nom, nom…!"

"I'll try it in a bit." I said, as I drank some fruit juice and decided to check the Quest Completion window again. There were a lot of rewards that were given, especially one that interested me quite a bit.

[Congratulations! You have Completed the [Special Challenge Quest]: [Hunt the Draconic Swamp Ruler and free the Main Swamp from their Tyranny!]

[After showcasing your amazing team effort with your beloved girlfriend and your amazing friends, familiars, and even Dungeon Monsters, you've managed to defeat a mighty Tier 9 monster such as the Draconic Swamp Ruler!]

[This monster, despite being Tier 9, was actually almost as strong as a Tier 10 Monster due to its stage being close to evolution, and also because it was a Ruler-type Monster. Well done!]

[For your amazing feat, please take this epic loot!]

[You Received The Following Completion Rewards]: [30.000.000 EXP] [Draconic Swamp Ruler's Essence Elixir (S Grade)] x5 [Cultivation Boosting Draconic Pills (A+ Grade)] x10 [Nature Dragon Flowers (A+ Grade)] x10 [Skill Evolution Scroll: Draconic Swamp Ruler Soul (SS Grade)] x1 [Draconic Swamp Ruler's Dagger (S Grade)] x1]

The Essence Elixir wasn't that much of a surprise I guess, but then there were Cultivation Boosting Draconic Pills! What are those? Do they just boost my cultivation using Draconic Runes, maybe? And then there was a new kind of Dragon Flower, this time of the Element of Nature.

And lastly, the Skill Evolution Scroll, which apparently has the Soul of the Draconic Swamp Ruler or something? Oh, and that new Dagger. I could give it to someone inside of my Dungeon's growing Civilization, maybe that huntress girl I summoned, Ivy.

Or I could remake it using some new materials into a new Dagger for my lovely Aquarina… Though, I think I've spoiled her a lot lately, she might get angry if I give her something amazing again because she'll feel bad she's getting too much out of me.

Anyways, I quickly grabbed the scroll from my inventory, looking at it while munching on skewered salamander meat chunks, which were soft, juicy, and incredibly flavorful, meshing the flavor of both fish, beef, and sweetness incredibly well. Dad was right about them being tasty!

[Skill Evolution Scroll: Draconic Swamp Ruler Soul (SS Grade)]

A Scroll created by the System through the materialization of sizable quantities of Causality Essence and the Large Soul Fragment of the Draconic Swamp Lord, a Lord-type Tier 9 Monster from the Wetlands of Cloudia.

When activating this Scroll, it is possible to choose any Skill that has reached Level 10 and forcefully evolve them into their next form or stage.

This Skill Evolution will then be modified by the Large Soul Fragment of the Draconic Swamp Ruler, changing its effects and powers accordingly.

The resulting Skill may or may not contain the former Skill's abilities. Once this process is done, it cannot be undone.

The resulting Evolved Skill will go back to Level 1, and it might be integrated into its own Skill Tree. Meaning that once it reaches Level 10, a new Skill within this generated Skill Tree can be learned.

Oh, it's really interesting! So I can evolve and imbue that evolved Skill with the Soul Fragment of a Dragon-type Tier 9 Monster, whose elements were Earth, Water, and Poison?! That sounds impressive already. Now the big question is, which Skill do I choose?

Anyways, the Skills that can be evolved right now using this Scroll that are at Level 10 are: [Steady Fighter: Lv10], [Lesser Water Magic: Aqua: Lv10], [Spiritual Blessing: Lv10], [Divine Fruit of Knowledge: Lv10], [Mana Usage: Lv10], [Mana Disruption: Lv10], [Crafting: Lv10], and [Metallurgy: Lv10]!

And right, I can also learn two new Skills from the Steady Fighter and the Metallurgy Skill Trees, both reached Max Level just recently after I drank those Skill Proficiency Elixirs. I'll look into that after this though.

"Alice, any advice?"

"Hmm, it seems quite hard to decide! I would assume the Soul of this entity would give you either powerful offensive abilities related with breath and claws, or defensive abilities related with scales." Alice analyzed. "Though, I wonder what could even come out of Crafting or Metallurgy… Mana Usage and Mana Disruption seem like interesting choices too. You could go for the safest choice with Steady Fighter or Lesser Water Magic: Aqua, I bet you the first will give you some nice passive defensive abilities and the later some powerful offensive magic related with the Dragon Monster."

"Hmmm, not like I am lacking in either of the two though." I shrugged. "I already got all I could ask for with my Yggdragon Dual Aura and my Draconification. Then I have Void Wielding Arts for even more extra power, and without considering my Petit Meteor and Holy Flame Wall…"

"That's… I guess you're not wrong." She nodded. "Perhaps the Divine Fruit of Knowledge… It could evolve into something strange."

"Like a Dragon Fruit thing? Perhaps?" I wondered.

"That seems like the easiest guess! These fruits are good for healing, recovering mana, and give some good buffs." She said. "They're essential for your party, upgrading them could help."

"Interesting…" I nodded. "I can guess Mana Manipulation could give me something like a Draconic Mana Aura? Seems not that interesting with my Yggdragon Aura already. Mana Disruption… Could become even deadlier I suppose. And then Crafting and Metallurgy, what the hell could come out of either of the two?"

"Maybe the power to craft… dragons?" Alice wondered, feeling confused.

"That sounds really cool…" I said. "But at the same time, do I need more summons? The Harvest Familiars and then my Dungeon Monsters are more than enough I believe."

"Maybe with Metallurgy, you could get something like a metallic dragon summon, or a metallic dragon armor." She wondered. "Hmm… Do you need either of the two?"

"Nah, I think I might go for the fruit, actually! I got curious… So let's do that!"

Ding!

[You have used the [Skill Evolution Scroll: Draconic Swamp Ruler Soul (SS Grade)]!]

[You have chosen the [Divine Fruit of Knowledge: Lv10] as the Skill Recipient!]

[The chosen Skill has begun to Evolve, absorbing the Soul Fragment of the Draconic Swamp Ruler!]

FLASH!
