Chapter 31: 29. Crab Raid.

Before I take on these two monsters, I need to get stronger, and what better way to do that, other than evolution?

To evolve, I'm sure that I will need to get to level 20, only 3 more levels for that, so I'll take on any crabs around this area. Luckily, I can sense more energies here than the previous place I was in, nice, I guess they either ran here from the titan, or they were originally here, sorry crabs, but this neighborhood is about to get pretty rowdy. Ow, that was kind of an embarrassing line, I'm just going to pretend I never thought of that.

Ahem, fortunately, there are some energies nearby, so I'll just head there, I don't wanna run into the giant crab or the crystal person, so what's the best way to avoid them, you ask? Of course, an obligatory stealth mission!

Agent Lisa, your mission is to take out the crab insurgents around this location, you'll have to do it quietly if you don't wanna attract attention.

Yes Colonel Lisa! These crabs won't know what hit 'em!

Spy mission time.

I sneaked up on the crabs from above, there were 7 of them around the area, appraising them showed me that their stats were similar to the ones in the other area, aka, I could beat them quickly. Their highest stat was defense, and the highest defense among them was 132, so with my current strength, I don't even need to do the circling trick to beat them.

Assassination, go!

I drop down on on of them and then ram my fist on its upper shell, the shell cracks and caves in, while the crystals on it's back shatter from the collision.

Its shell completely caves in on itself from the part where I hit it, and it stops moving and the rest of its crystals dull and start breaking, one down, six more to go.

Hey, I wasn't much of a gal for stealth missions really ok? And they can't spot me if they all die, colonel, I'm going guns blazing!

C-Colonel Lisa! She's breaking protocol!

She may be breaking protocol, she may be a wild card, but she's our best agent damn it!

Alright seriously now, that's enough with the spy roleplay, I need to get my head in the game with these crabs, but they are just so slow! I can recite the alphabet backwards before they manage to attack me once!

I retreat off of the crab, and make some distance between us, the distance widened incredibly quickly, I had put 30 meters between us in a second, and then I approached one of the crabs with even higher speed, it couldn't even react to me as I sent my hand barreling through it's under shell, I pierced through it and flipped it over with the strength of the blow.

The crab was planted into the ground my that blow, the entirety of its lower shell was cracked and had a hole in where I punched it, the crab struggled for a little bit before finally going limp.

[Stats increased]

Boom! I'm getting closer to my goal of level 20. But I am kind of doubting if I'll reach level 20 by this battle. Anyway, let's just focus on this now.

The other 5 crabs were still far away from me, wow, they are seriously slow. Do I even need to focus? You are some serious rookies crabs! Huh, that sentence sounds weird, is there even a plural for crab? Doesn't matter, cause their numbers are about to fall.

I run up to the closest one and go for the same attack, the crab tries to foresee it by lifting its claw up to protect itself, I slide under its claw and then I kick it with both of my legs, smashing it's under shell and throwing it into the air.

Before the crab even touched the ground, I ran up to another one of them, and as it tried to protect itself with its claw, I jumped over it and pulled it to smash its own crystals. Then I jumped up and stabbed it in the head with my claws.

It couldn't even struggle, it had died nearly instantly. The other crab that was thrown in the air had fallen, and it was dead.

I jump up and fly towards the closest one, I then drop down on it, flip and then hit it with my tail.

Hah, you are already dead.

The crab, of course, couldn't reply with "what?!" At me, but the attack did already kill it. For the last of them, I just attacked in the same manner as the first ones, I rushed one of them and punched through their shell.

Oh? I leveled up from that one, nice! That means only one more level until my second evolution.

For the final crab, I just jumped off and smacked it with my tail again, this one had the hardest defense of them all, which is mostly why I left him for last, but I just needed to attack a few more times like that, and it was over.

Amazing, mission complete, that right there is why you're the best agent Lisa.

Aw shucks, thanks Colonel Lisa.

Well, self praise aside, I do need to get more exp, so I'll hunt some more crabs and bring them here, until I level up and evolve. Because evolving seriously drains you. I remember being nearly out of SP during the fight with those gorillas, yeah, some nasty stuff that was.

And so, I searched around the are for more crabs, I picked the closest place to me, and that one had 6 of those crabs. That fight had gone practically the same as the one I just had, until I killed the final crab, where it had finally happened.

[Required exp amount reached. Lisa leveled up to lv. 20]

[5 evolutionary points added]
[Stats increased]
[Evolution available]

Evolution is finally here! I've been waiting for so long! But now I can finally evolve!

Alright, let's take the groceries back home and then see the options.

Taking the crabs to the rest of them took several trips, and when I finally got all of them together, I started looking at the options.

Alright, so the options for evolution are!

[Drake]
[Infested Drake]
[Wyrm]
[Dilitrios]
[Sofos]

Well, I have no idea what most of them are. I see, I indeed do suffer from stupid. Well, as a certified professional doctor, I diagnose you with an Appraisal!

[Infested drake]

[A drake that had been infested by crystals of eden, growing off its flesh like parasites, it offers the drake powerful crystal abilities and heightened defense, at the expense of losing a large margin of speed, and losing all intelligence.]

Woah! This one is overall terrible, 0/10 would definitely ignore again.

[Wyrm]

[A serpentine draconian, it still retains the ability to fly, but loses all of its limbs, highly skilled in energy manipulation, not many physical abilities]

I see, so it's a boneless dragon, no thanks, I like my bones and fingers. No danger noodle for me today.

[Dilitrios]

[A rare subspecies of drake, offering very high poisonous capabilities, it is skilled in both melee and energy combat. It's small stature helps it in tackling larger opponents, as it is able to partake in hit and run tactics]

This one is awesome! Aids you in all kinds of combat, and poison, although not very useful against crystals, is invaluable. Plus, it's rare, come on, how can someone say no to something rare?

Let's see the final one, it better be good!

[Sofos]

[A rare subspecies of drake, offering a high and versatile set of energy capabilities, with boosted thinking capabilities, and high speed. It has considerable melee abilities, it also has a small stature.]

This one is also very good! But now I have a problem, which one do I pick? Sofos? Or Dilitrios? Well, Sofos backwards is still Sofos, so it has that over the other one.

But in all seriousness, which one is better? One offers higher energy abilities and the other high poison capabilities, firstly, let's think about our immediate situation, poison does not affect any of the things here, and even though I was avoiding using techniques, they do affect them significantly more than poison. As for the longer game, well, they are basically the same, I can level up poison fang and I can also level up techniques, but techniques will take longer. I do like both of them, but I think that Sofos is the better one, so yeah, I want to evolve into Sofos!

After thinking that, I lost my conciousness.
