Chapter 1301: Unit Evolution

"Let's fix this together, cheer up! Don't worry!" said Alice.

"Well, worry a bit master, but not too much," said Yggdra.

"Yeah, not like we can't solve it now, right? We are all super strong!" Naturia nodded.

"Girls..." I sighed. "Thanks..."

"That's right, please rest assured, now that I am awake, I shall charge head-first into that nest of malefic creatures and slay them all singlehandedly!" Bark said. "Please wait here until-"

"Nope, you're not going there alone, dude," Ivy stopped Bark before he went on a crusade by himself.

"Come on Bark, I know you're strong but not that strong," Selene giggled a bit.

"A-Ah, well, in my previous life... I kind of remember being quite strong!" Bark said. "But I suppose this new body of mine... It is not as strong. I must reinforce and enhance it with daily exercise! But it seems to not work either?"

"Well, Arboren are plants, and plants won't get tougher by exercising," I sighed. "So you must find other ways to do it, I suppose... Hmm, I hadn't thought about it, but maybe it could be possible to give you a magic circle? Can you obtain physiques too? Civilization System?"

[The {Civilization System} has been silently observing.]

[They say that, although it is impossible to give them new System Seeds as they're now part of the Civilization System, external powers could be possible, although there's no confirmation.]

[The biology of the Arboren is much different than any other living being from Arcadia, above all, they're also descendants of your summoned creatures, which couldn't obtain such things.]

[The Summoned Unique Units however, might be slightly different as their composition and creation was made purely by the System.]

[However, the conventional way to let Unique Units grow is using Unit Evolution.]

"Unit Evolution?"

[The {Civilization System} says that through the usage of all Elemental Evolution Stones together, plus some specific materials, it is possible to evolve Unique Units into stronger forms, giving them new abilities and higher stats.]

"Right, we did once visit that Material Dungeon, and it had those stones we mined!" I nodded. "Maybe with that... But for now, let's try magic circle and physique."

"Um, who is she talking to?" wondered Ivy.

"Goddess Sylphy must be communicating with our chief, the Dungeon System! They have been protecting us very well so far..." said Selene.

"Nah I was talking with the other guy..." I laughed. "Err, Dungeon System, how are you?"

[The {Dungeon System} says they're a bit tired but fine. They have been using Dungeon Energy to protect the city, but it had been running low...]

[They're thankful you're finally back!]

"Thanks for protecting them, and don't worry about the Dungeon Energy, I got plenty of EXP for that," I nodded. "For now, let's assess everything so far, the people and all."

"Okay, let's start with the basics then!" nodded Selene. "Oh, everyone must be hungry too, I'll bring food!"

"Let me help with cooking as well," I said. "I need to help in something, or I'll just feel bad..." "A-ahah, please don't push yourself too much, goddess Sylphy..." Selene said. "But we would gladly have the delicious divine dishes you prepare!"

"I wouldn't go as far as call them divine dishes... but sure, let me help!" I nodded.

The atmosphere lightened and brightened for a bit, now that everyone had fully recovered and there were even tougher walls protected by my strong familiars, tranquility came back to the village, which was already growing into a small city.

I had been here for roughly half an hour, but I was growing a bit concerned if my family could get a bit worried about me, my dad, Celica, Celeste, and Felicia must be waiting for me for breakfast after all.

Having to balance my daily life with what happens in the dungeon is tough... But I think I could solve this within a day, or half a day? If I could get their help though, that would be nice.

But how could Master Felicia react to all of this? It feels like she won't like it one bit, she'll probably call me irresponsible, and all of that.

Well, I kind of deserve to be scolded a bit.

Using my Cooking Magic in conjunction with the help of my spirits, we cooked a huge feast for everyone that had recovered, and also the soldiers that had been working nonstop this entire time.

The food was a mix between meat and vegetables, Arboren could eat anything and digest it slowly into nutrients. Usually, if they weren't Unique Units, they would eat a big meal once every three days.

Or that's what I think they do... Nonetheless, the food was good, I mostly used the leftover meat of my travel to Cloudia, a lot of fish, salamander, and wyvern meat, and all the veggies harvested from the farms grown here.

As they enjoyed their food, I asked the Dungeon System something.

"Can I go out without the time inside accelerating?" I wondered. "I can, right?"

[The {Dungeon System} says that due to the huge size the Dungeon has reached, it will be harder to control its time acceleration process once the dungeon master steps outside.] [Currently, the time acceleration can only be stopped for 24 hours, with another 24 hours cooldown afterwards.]

"Well, that's more than enough to solve the problem. I'll bring some of my friends and maybe even my dad, if possible even Felicia," I explained. "Once I can bring everyone to help, this should be done very easily. Though with just Celica and Celeste, we can finish this within

hours."

"Oh, are you bringing more gods with you, my goddess? That would be wonderful! The Miasmic Nest is very huge... I wouldn't want you to go alone," said Selene.

"Okay but what about the magic circle and physique thingy you talked about?" said Ivy.

"I'll try that right now, so stay where you are, Ivy," I said. "Do you remember anything from

your world? Did they have any powers like these?"

"Um? No, not really..." she said. "Not that I remember..."

"I see..."

I quickly imbued my Aura of Mana into her chest, as gently as I could.
