Breather

I just spent my time admiring the surroundings because the night was quiet and serene and because no ghouls are pursuing me at this point. Out of all that transpired, this is the first time that I have truly felt at peace.

I just closed my eyes a little bit, and when I opened it, it was already Sunrise

"What the!?, did I just sleep?"

I turn to glance around, but nothing has changed. The ghoul's body is still there.

"Woah!, I just fell asleep without realizing it; given that I have no defenses, that was really risky."

I turn to face the spring, but I can't see myself properly, since the water it releases is tainted.

"Hmm... it's already the second day after I become this end, and yet I still have not reverted to a wisp,

Given that the system makes a mistake when I analyze the skill, indicating that it is not correct, I draw the conclusion that the talent is permanent rather than transitory.

Hmm... maybe I need to check my stat again

Good Condition

"I gained 7 levels throughout the battle, but given how much suffering I endured, I doubt I would win against an opponent that was significantly stronger than the ghoul.

There are also many other new skills.

The ghoul perished, but I'm sure there will be a backup, so I should test them out right now. I need to be well-prepared."

But in amidst of thinking the Illusion Plants are slowly drying, the farthest they are placed the faster they dried up

"What just happened? Hey System, you said that they won't die unless they got destroyed"

I tried to communicate with the system, but It didn't reply, Then at that time I finally understand that this system is not a system that has a mind even though it communicates with me through telepathy,

then the mushroom plant that sprouts near me are slowly drying up,

I hold it in my hands watching

"Hey... hey...hey buddy c'mon what happened"

I don't know what happened and what I'm going to do only one mushroom left, then an idea comes to my mind

"maybe I should try this out"

I focused on my mushroom then Inspect it, then a System description pop up on the mushroom

{Name: Illushroom

Type: plant

A Rare type of Illusion plant that releases illusion spores throughout the air that deceive the enemy's vision, currently drying up because of the lack of nutrients}

"I'm glad it works, but what? It's lack of nutrients?"

I take a look around. Although it is already sanded (reddish sand), beneath its coat it is still corrupted, and it is also the same as the nearby water, preventing the plants from absorbing it.

"Damn, maybe there's something I can do"

I look at my system window without inspecting my skill first I used it

and the first one that I tried is the last skill that I haven't tried yet

"Enroot"

Then all of a sudden, my soul detached from my body

and the only color in the area is the structure of my existence and the purple water nearby.

{Enroot has been used to select a target Source}

"Target source, does it mean the water?"

Then with my thought, I select the water, and after that my roots grow toward the water source and envelop the whole spring

{Error: Current level of enroot cannot purify a large amount of corruption}

{If the user still insists on doing it, the user will take the corruption that may cause Death to the User and everything it created"}

"Ohh, so you mean that everything I've created is connected to me"

"Then that explains it, So if I can't purify the whole spring there's no rush in it, System Then purify that small socket of water"

Then my root reaches out to that little water socket once again and envelops it. Two large roots then encircle the socket's opening and emit a translucent golden light that purifies all the spring water that passes through it.

Then a little root burrows through the water socket and produces roots that resemble hair.

{Enroot: Success}

{Congratulations, Hidden Quest Completed}

{Hidden Quest: Create a Source

+500exp}

{System: Water Source acquired}

{Requirements for Passive skill: Photosynthesis: Complete}

{Photosynthesis Activated}

"Photosynthesis? Wait, let me analyze that now"

{Photosynthesis: A ****** skill belongs only to the extinct ****** *** ** ****\, it Creates a huge amount of gas that is necessary for a ****** being to survive and Generate EXP as long as the requirements are fulfilled}

"Tags ugh another mystery, Let me guess my level is too low to know "

*sight

{Level Up}

{Level 20}

{Congratulations: Race Max Level Reached}

{Do you want to evolve: Yes/No}

"Ohh I left again, Is this how easy to level up using photosynthesis?"

(AN: let me help to explain to you guys because our MC is still dumb, I know it's my fault but whatsoever let's just get to the point,

His exp meter is already nearly full due to the last boss battle and the experience from the hidden mission, and the system never displays the exp bar for some reason. Photosynthesis is merely fuel for the fire.)

"And I can evolve now, I need strength so I choose... No,

I decline"

{Evolution Bar: Closed}

"As I had anticipated, I had already learned my lesson and needed more time to prepare."

There's still the last skill I need to Identify

{Enroot: An Innate skill by the ******* Treant to get Nutrients\, if used the Treant extends its root to the ground losing its mobility but amplifying its abilities\, upon successful of getting source it will nurture its surroundings and amplifies every Plant within the area-range}

"So that's how it is, Ohh wait damn I already took a lot of time, System takes me back...

....

....

Oh, for god’s sake, at least gave me proper instructions first on every skill

Enroot Off

....

Fuck you, damn it! "

So I tried another way

"Oh, I see, I can freely move in my astral form."

so I tried an obvious thing to do I dived into my body

then finally wake up

Astral time seems to pass more slowly, and the mushroom has stopped drying up and is quickly returning to life, but the other four plants didn't make it.

"I can easily replace them, but still it saddens me that the other 4 didn't make it."

I look toward the remaining mushroom near me

"From now on I'm going to start calling you Mirage as a lucky sign...

Now let's go back to the plan"

So I started my preparation by replanting another Illusion seed.

With the newest slayer seed, assuring a Strong and resilient strategical formation

And time passed, Finally I'm done with my preparation

"Now that I'm ready, I can evolve while keeping my wary to a minimum.

System open

Open Evolution Window"

{Race Max Level Reached}

{WOULD YOU LIKE TO EVOLVE: Yes/No}

"Yes"

Then as I expected my vision become fuzzy again

{Undergoing Metamorphosis}

{Progress 1%}

{Estimating Time:24 Hours}

My root rise from my body and after it wholly covered me up it create a branch the branch grew some leaves and I became a whole tree with my Gem gleaming inside, providing a dazzling light.
