Huuhhhhhh...

Well, I'm glad that I'll once more evolve, and it feels worth it, but...

This is new. Getting to choose a new skill... I thought you could only gain skills by evolving or like personal development, so... maybe this is one of those so-called “Personal Abilities”?

Yeah, that must be it... Now, what do I choose?

Voice?

- It is not my responsibility to make your choices. -

Aha. Should've guessed.

Well, let's evaluate our choices.

Venomous Bite, Control Roots, and Double Head, right?

Venomous bite is rather attractive as I kind of want to have the same ability as the White Lily. I mean, that poison was heccin' deadly!

Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

Then again, I didn't really have too much of a use for bite in that last battle, so... well, it might become more useful later.

Double Head seems like an instant no-no. I would rather not have another head if it felt that strange to have just one. Id rather not go through that again.

And then... Control Roots.

I don't know why, but... I feel like this is the way to go.

My current level of absorb is so high that as long as my legs (or roots, whichever works the best) I can win almost any battle. However, I don't know to which extent this ability will go. It might be like having a bunch of arms, but then again... It might be like having a bunch of legs. And I'm not too good at using legs.

Well, if I look at this all...

With Venomous Bite I can bite people so they die even more, but... I already have bite. Im pretty sure I don't need another.

And with Double Head, I really don't see the appeal. Sure, it means probably more E recovery with doubled photosynthesis, but... I get all I need from the ground.

On the other hand, with Root Control...

yeah, I've made a choice.

- What ability would you like to acquire? -

I would like the – Root Control -, thank you very much.

- Preparing Evolution... -

And then it all went black.
