After eating, I decided to check my status screen. This is what I had been looking forward to the most.

Looks like almost every skill has leveled up?
My stats have also increased by a huge amount!
There's even a new evolution skill!!
My magic skills have finished merging too!!
Naiwa.
So many new things from just one evolution.
I've got quite a few skills at level nine already, and I think I've also got a level in [Support Evil Eye]? So which skill should I pick… I think I'll prioritize those close to evolving.
Among the level nine skills, [Endurance] gets priority because it can help raise my SP cap. Most of the others are resistance or combat skills that don't benefit me much right now.
Alright, let's go with [Endurance].

Naiwa!
What a badass name.
I wonder if it really lets me resurrect…?
<
Naiwa!
The meaning of "resurrection" is different than I thought, but it's still a broken skill. Using skills without consuming SP?? That's basically game-breaking.
Including the resurrection buff, my current total SP is 985. If it drains 2 SP per second, I get more than eight minutes of free skill usage!!!
Holy crap, this is seriously busted!!
If I just raise my SP cap more, wouldn't I be practically invincible??? Just imagining that scene gets me way too hyped.
Hahahaha!!
With [Resurrection] handled, I moved on to try out a skill I just received through fusing several magic skills—[Elemental Magic]!!
<
Hmm, to put it simply, it's a composite skill of various elemental magic types. That's actually great—rather than leveling up each one separately, now I can just use any kind of elemental spell and level this one instead.
Let's give it a try.
I went through the usual motions to cast, thought of the element I wanted to add and… boom!
It worked.
Switching between elements felt easy for me. If that's the case, why not try combining elements, too…?
I immediately started testing the idea of combining two elements to see the result.
First, I focused on Fire and Wind. When these two merge, they can create a massive fire whirlwind. I imagined the wind fueling the flames to burn even fiercer and channeled my mana to cast the first spell: "Blazing Cyclone."
I chanted the spell and... a blazing vortex burst forth, spinning violently!
Next, I picked Water and Ice. This combo formed a fascinating spell: "Frozen Streamshot"—chilling currents froze instantly as they flowed, becoming hundreds of sharp icicles launched toward the target.
Getting more excited, I moved on to two seemingly opposing elements: Lightning and Earth. The result surprised me. When combined, I formed "Thunderquake." A bolt of lightning crashed into the ground, triggering small explosions as electric energy merged into stone and soil.
Each time I tested, I could feel that [Elemental Magic] wasn't just a composite skill. It had limitless potential, as long as I deepened my understanding of each element and their connections.
But of course, some elements just don't go together. For example, Fire and Ice—they only end up weakening each other's effects when combined.
I need to be careful before trying random combinations.
Still, this is clearly a high-quality skill.
After evolving, it's like I've only been getting top-tier abilities...
This makes me kind of want to fight someone now…
Since I didn't have anything else to do, I decided to head straight to floor 25.
Floors 21 through 24 didn't have any creatures that could challenge me, so clearing them was relatively easy. When I reached floor 25, I immediately set an anchor at the entrance just in case I needed to escape quickly. And this floor... seems to be a desert?
High temperature, sand everywhere—yeah, it's a desert, no doubt.
I spaced out for a moment because I really hate the heat. Last time, even a bit of exposure in the Fire Elemental Zone almost killed me from overheating, and now I'm in a giant desert?
Is this really just a single floor of the dungeon?? I couldn't even see the exit with my naked eye. How big is this place, seriously?
I tried using [Heaven Eye], and I managed to spot the exit on the far side. But of course, I also found a ruin along the way. It looked like a pyramid or something.
No way I'm just leaving without exploring it.
Let's go!
