Chapter 664: Sixth Evolution
For the time being, thanks to treant and the Aros, I was able to narrow down the evolution candidates.
Unfortunately, treant's first choice, the python, is out of the question because of its slowness. I can appreciate the benefits of toughness and power, but in my experience, some amount of speed is needed. Slow monsters are suited for reliably defeating lower-ranked opponents, but can't do much aganist stronger opponents. The wide-range skills are attractive, but compared to the other options, it’s not enough.
The azhdahak proposed by Aro no. 3 has its strengths and weaknesses, but there’s little reason to choose it over the other candidates. I’d rather not choose a multi-headed dragon if I can help it. I don’t think I can expect powerful skills from the azhdahak like I can from the chronos.
All that remains are the healer nun, the close combat apocalypse, and the skill-focused but low-rank and lo- stats chronos. These three are the promising candidates.
I still have a lot of good recovery skills from my time as an ouroboros, so there might be little point in evolving into another healer. I already have [High Rest], [Autoregeneration], [Wide Rest], [Ligne], and my recovery skills. I still rely on a lot of these skills.
As an L+ healing specialist, I could probably expect to replace them with more powerful skills, but the fact that I already have sufficient healing is reason enough take the nun out of the running. I also have the unconditional full recovery of [Butterfly Dream], even though I don't trust it at all. I have enough healing already. It should be okay for me to not pick the nun.
『So it’s down to just the apocalypse or chronos…』
Should I go for the time-manipulating skills of the chronos, or the high stats of the apocalypse?
“Chronos… You should go with chronos! Dragon-god-sama! You'll probably get skills that can take God’s Voice by surprise!”
