Wizard: This mushroom is too fierce.

The swordsman mushroom Karak had appeared beside Roland at some point, and as a Poogie, it seemed to have seen its own evolutionary path.

At this moment, it was somewhat puzzled, clearly unable to comprehend what this was with Karak's current level of intelligence.

Looking at the three evolution paths, Roland first pointed to the 'Swift Swordmaster Mushroom'.

The next moment, a pure swordsman wielding the power of wind appeared before the two. His swordsmanship was exquisite and unparalleled, like art. Even more terrifying was the storm-like elemental power. Roland even felt that the hurricane could crush everything in the world.

After the screen disappeared, Roland clicked on two more [Flame Walker Mushrooms] and [Water Ninja Mushrooms].

The Flame Walker Mushroom is depicted as a pure fire monster that uses flames to burn everything in its path.

Water Ninja Mushroom is a humanoid frog that uses shuriken and unpredictable water elemental magic.

"These spells are quite interesting." Roland gazed at the scene, a question immediately arising in his mind: "Is that spatial magic? How does it work?"

"In the blink of an eye, I've traveled from one place to another."

"How amazing!" Roland was quite excited by this unknown knowledge, which gave him an idea: would Karak also be able to gain these abilities after evolving?

"If possible, I can analyze these abilities and deduce some spell models that I can use!"

However, before that, Roland still needs to ask Karak which mushroom he wants to evolve into.

After understanding these things, the swordsman Kharak immediately made a choice: "Great King, I choose the first one. My race has the skill of drawing the sword, and I also love swordsmanship."

"I want to become a swordsman."

As soon as the voice fell, Karak's body suddenly burst into flames, and streams of seven-colored starlight circulated into its body.

Upon seeing the changes in Karak, Roland immediately took out a crystal ball from his spatial ring, intending to record the scene for his future research.

However, the moment the magic was released, the crystal ball shattered into pieces.

Unable to record, the moment the result came out, Roland immediately focused all his energy on the evolutionary phenomenon. Since he couldn't record it, he could at least watch it himself.

Keep looking, and you'll figure it out eventually.

The seven-colored starlight slowly disappeared, and the swordsman Mushroom Karak's body was the first to change, growing continuously and gradually forming a humanoid body.

The fungal longsword that was originally on the back of the swordsman mushroom had transformed into a metal longsword that shone with a bright silver light. Roland looked at it carefully and found that it did not seem to be a simple transformation of matter; it was more like a living thing.

The next moment, Roland suddenly heard the sound of wind: "Death is like the wind...it is always with me!"

Of all the weapons in the world, none wounds the most deeply!

"Can you truly inherit my power?"

The swordsman mushroom Karak seemed to be enduring some extremely painful memory. Roland's pupils widened, and the soul of a weathered old man suddenly appeared on its body. The old man's eyes were filled with pity and pain as he stared at Karak for a long time.

"I cannot die! I have not yet fulfilled the King's promise!"

"I still have many promises to keep!"

"I have not yet revived the mushroom tribe; they are still watching me!"

Karak's obsession made the weathered old man sigh: "Brother, I understand your teachings... but it seems it's already too late."

"Kharak, your will is so strong...you have earned my respect!"

"Let's fight together and show the world our power!"

The next moment, the old man closed his eyes and disappeared from Roland's sight.

As the wind subsided, Roland saw a swordsman clad in blue plate armor, with a scabbard at his waist and a longsword gleaming in his hand.

The sky-blue plate armor covered his entire body, making it impossible for even Roland to tell that this swordsman had once been a Puji.

【Name: Karak】

[Race: Fungi]

[Abilities: Breathing Technique, Steel-Slicing Flash (an advanced version of Draw Sword), Rurouni Kenshin]

"Karak," Roland called out tentatively, "Do you still recognize me?"

"Great King, I am your guardian. I will accompany you as you grow until my life ends."

Karak removed his scalpel, revealing his deep eyes.

Although it was still a fungus, Roland felt that it was more like a human, with its intelligence greatly improved and a hint of sadness in its eyes.

However, Roland felt he didn't need to worry about loyalty, as the Master's talent was invincible.

"Karak, do you feel any changes in yourself?" Roland asked.

Karak put his sky-blue helmet back on, then said in a deep voice, "My King!"

"I have become stronger. A breathing technique has appeared in my memory that allows me to breathe in a magical rhythm, thereby increasing my physical strength and the resonance of the wind element."

"In addition, the original sword-drawing slash in my inherited memories has been transformed into the faster and more powerful steel-slicing flash."

"I still have a lot of swordsmanship knowledge in my memory, which fascinates me."

"My lord!" Karak said in a deep voice, "I yearn to become stronger, stronger, so that I may always be able to protect you."

Roland was deeply moved. He hugged Karak and whispered, "Thank you, Karak."

"Don't be stubborn, let's grow together."

"If there comes a day when you can't take it anymore, tell me."

"I am both your king and your strongest support."

After Roland finished speaking, Karak stood silently beside Roland, tears welling in its eyes, sword in hand.

At the same time, Roland's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly felt some knowledge appearing in his memory.

It concerns knowledge about hunting rituals and the Hunting School. The origins of hunting rituals are mysterious and their exact origins are impossible to trace. It is only known that they exist not only in the wizarding world but also throughout the entire astral plane.

The ancient practice of the Hunting Ritual possesses many powerful beings who exist across all levels of the astral plane. Therefore, by completing the Hunting Ritual and pleasing the mysterious hunting will, they will grant you anything you desire.

The will to hunt is never stingy!

The Hunter's School is the organization to which Professor Ashius belongs. It was founded by Kashu, a fourth-circle wizard from the Summoning School, who was a great wizard from the primitive era of the wizarding world.

He is a figure of the same generation as Douglas, the president of the Council of Truth who stands at the top of the wizarding world.

However, he was already dead; he died on the path to advancement.

Most members of the Hunting School died on their paths to advancement, in a recurring cycle, until Ashius.

During their long hunt, they left behind a saying: "Those who hunt others will be hunted by others; no one can escape it!"
