’Emberblade Paragon... some type of sword warrior. Well, I’ve expected nothing less from him.’ Looking toward Vexar, Dhruv asked the rank of the evolution.

"It’s an epic rank, Master," Vexar replied with a proud smile.

’Phew! He managed to get an epic rank evolution as well... this is a good start.’ Dhruv heaved a sigh of relief after reading the name of his species. It felt even better considering that he hadn’t gotten any help from the cores.

"Well done..." With a smile, Dhruv praised the demon lord.

Looking at the innocent smile he gave in reaction Dhruv smiled once again and focused on the status once again. He was about to read more when he heard Vexar’s voice again.

"Master, there is something I want to tell you."

"What it is..."

"Master, during this evolution something weird happened," Vexar exclaimed, remembering the incident that happened inside the realm.

"Weird!? Like what?" Dhruv asked, not knowing what could be considered weird for Vexar.

"The place where I evolved... I mean the real place the realm of fire and flame... this time, except for me, there was a lady as well..." Looking at his master with innocent eyes, Vexar voiced his concern.

"A lady?" Finding himself a bit confused, Dhruv looked toward Aurora.

He found her shaking her head. As he looked at the others, they had the same reaction. No one seemed familiar with the incident. Everyone was equally confused.

"Can you elaborate further... I mean, how did she look... what was her intention... was she there to harm you or help you? Details like this." Breaking it down as simply as possible, Dhruv asked Vexar.

"From the very start, Master?" Vexar asked, trying to be sure.

"Not from the start, just tell me everything hmmm! about five minutes before meeting the lady," Dhruv murmured.

"Five minutes before... okay—"

After spawning in the realm of swords and fire, Vexar didn’t waste time enjoying the view like the last time and instead directly went to check his evolution menu.

’Let’s see what we’ve got this time...’ Full of excitement he called for status.

[You have reached the maximum level of your species.

These are the options available to you. All these options are from the species Asteri:

- Blazing Swordmaster (Special)

- Inferno Duelist (Special)

- Flameblade Sentinel (Rare)

- Volcanic Bladesman (Rare)

- Ember Sword Sage (Rare)

- Phoenixfire Sorcerer (Epic)

- Emberblade Paragon (Epic)]

’Seven options... this is more than last time, right? Probably... after all I’m stronger now...’ Thinking, Vexar didn’t even bother to see the description of the special rank evolutions and directly clicked on ’Flameblade Sentinel’.

Reading the description of the Flameblade Sentinel, Vexar shook his head in disappointment. From what he understands this option focused more on defense which is okay...

But he wanted a bit more offense and a lot more action.

’Hmmm! Volcanic Bladesman has destructive power, but it focuses more on the flame aspect rather than having the way of a sword,’ Vexar thought, shaking his head once again.

From the very second he was created, Vexar wanted nothing more than to hone his swordsmanship as well as protect his master. To do that, he wanted to select the evolution where the main focus should be on the sword rather than the flame.

It wasn’t that he didn’t like flame... no, he loved it; after all, it had a pretty good effect on improving his slashing capabilities. It was just that he didn’t like it more than the blade.

With a bit more hope he clicked on the last rare rank evolution,

[Ember Sword Sage: This evolution combines wisdom and combat prowess. With this evolution, your understanding of flame deepens, enabling you to create intricate patterns of flame with your sword.]

’This looks good... I can create intricate patterns with my sword... sounds impressive to me.’ Finally, Vexar seemed to found an option he liked.

Nodding his head, he began reading everything about the option carefully. In the end, he became increasingly fond of evolution. The stats and organ it granted were nothing to scoff at either.

[Inferno Mind: A mind fueled with flame increases the capabilities of magical intelligence and concentration during battle. It makes it easy to comprehend complex and powerful techniques.]

Nodding his head, Vexar moved to the first epic evolution, eager to see what it had to offer.

---------

[Phoenixfire Sorcerer (Epic): You will transcend pure physical combat, becoming a Sorcerer of pure flame. Your swordsmanship will now become a conduit for powerful flames.

With this evolution, you will be capable of summoning phoenix flames that burn eternally and can heal allies. Your mastery over fire magic reaches unparalleled levels as a path to immortality opens as well.

+100 in Magic Power, +45 in Agility, +30 in Stamina, +20 in Strength along with [Phoenix Heart] and [Flame Wings] as rewards for this evolution. There will be a 50% discount on fire magic-related organs at the end of this evolution as well.]

---------

’What is this...’ Looking at the evolution, he wasn’t even mad... just disappointed.

There is nothing Vexar despised more than seeing an option that only focuses on the magical aspect of a being. Not wanting to foul his mood further, Vexar clicked on the organs to move on to the last option.

[Phoenix Heart: Grants regenerative abilities, allowing you to recover from injuries rapidly.]

[Flame Wings: Bestows the ability to fly, with wings of fire that can unleash devastating aerial attacks.] 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

’Huh! The organs seem better than the whole evolution...’ Saying these words, he clicked on the last option he had.
