Epic Of Caterpillar

Having drank the two elixirs and having gotten stronger out of them, I quickly put my attention into Shadrach, checking his status and then, using Alchemy and Forging to upgrade him using the rare materials we got from the powerful foes we've fought. I am quite smart in the way I give out the materials, of course. I prioritize what has a high affinity with the weapon itself. Therefore, the dragon and wyvern materials plus the fiery ants were perfect for Shadrach.

I also asked Luminous to spare some of his shiny silver scales, and I even added his white feathers when he had yet to evolve into his young adult form… Because he was still a juvenile dragon by then before he fought the Evil Dragon, which was also another monster controlled by the Genie.

And now, as Shadrach had assimilated the materials and was glowing with a bright, rainbow light, it was time to evolve him at long last. And these were the evolution options:

Ding!

[Showcasing [Maxima Summon: Shadrach] Evolution Options]

-----

[Heavenly Flames Dragon Overlord Longsword (Divine Species)]

[Rank]: [C+]

A powerful living weapon in the shape of a longsword of shining brilliance. It harbors within the power of a Dragon Soul capable of wielding Heavenly Flames that can both purify evil and burn through anything. The Soul itself can also heal allies and buff their stats for support. It boasts great versatility as both offense, defense, and support. The Soul inside is quite compassionate and wise, a fitting guide for future heroes. This weapon can evolve into greater Holy Dragon Blades.

-----

[Black Flames Wyvern Overlord Cursed Knife (Divine Species)]

[Rank]: [C+]

A powerful and living weapon in the shape of a sharp, black-colored knife that can easily slice through anything. It has been possessed by the vengeful and evil soul of a Black Flames Wyvern Overlord, which grants this knife deadly powers such as Black Flames that can inflict curses upon those that are inflicted with wounds, inhibiting regeneration, lowering stats, and making the foe grow weaker over time.

A weapon specially good for sadistic people that likes to see their foes suffering. Specializes in tiring and killing foes slowly through stalling time for curses to take effect. An ideal weapon for assassins.

-----

[Infernal Volcanic Dragon Overlord Katana (Divine Species)]

[Rank]: [B-]

A powerful and living weapon in the shape of a long and sharp dark, red-colored katana. It is finely designed to look beautiful, be light, and slice through anything with enough force. This weapon comes possessed by the powerful Soul of an Infernal Volcanic Dragon, who are known as "Fire Devils" that inhabit the depths of Volcanos. Their flames can erupt from the Katana and unleash slicing, fiery attacks that can both burn and slice foes with ease.

The Dragon Soul can also conjure powerful Fire Magic and embody itself into a giant dragon whenever it is necessary, although it costs constant amounts of MP, so it cannot be done constantly. A versatile weapon with a few weakness such as its frail composition and the -overspecialization with fire attribute.

Damn, all three-options sound tempting. They sound so cool! I never thought the Wyvern Overlord had such potential within him… But I think such evolution options triggered thanks to the materials I fused him with. I wish the other Egos I have could have evolution options, but they seem to all just evolve automatically.

The only ones whose evolutions I can choose are the Maxima Summons, sadly. Anyways, moving on this is all pretty good. The Heavenly Flames Dragon evolution sounds so great, and the knife sound deadly and cool as well! If I could choose all three.

But I am going for the third option. The reasons are obvious. The first option is already taken by White, she specializes in support, buffing, and using light magic after all. And the second is similar to Black, the curse thing sounds pretty cool, but I am fairly sure this isn't the style of Shadrach either…

So that leaves me with the third and last option, which is also B- Rank for some reason, maybe because it's the strongest which also continues to specialize in what he's good, while exchanging physical bulk. Although I am fairly sure his dragon embodiment will still be physically tanky, the sword form is frail as all katanas are.

But yeah, let's choose that one anyways!

Ding!

[The [Infernal Volcanic Dragon Overlord Katana (Divine Species)] Evolution Option has been selected!]

[Initiating Evolution for [Maxima Summon: Shadrach]!]

FLAAAASH!

Shadrach immediately started his evolution, as his body started growing longer and at the same time, becoming very thin, and flexible, light, and beautiful. He had become a Katana from a heavy blade, what a glow up… And that wasn't all.

"ROOOAR!"

His soul surged from the Katana, now he had a different appearance.

"Eh? I have hands! What is this? My wings are on my back and my whole head feels way fatter and less thin and longer… Huh?! Dragon? Wait, I have become a dragon?!"

He was shocked.

"Yeah, there weren't any other options. I know you might be angry because you've been a wyvern overlord and that's like your thing and-"

"No, this is amazing Kireina-sama! I've always wanted to be a Dragon! I've strived so far as a Wyvern, but my goal was always to become one day one… However, when I became a weapon such a possibility became thinner, and that damn Athos was also a sword but a dragon! So I was unable to compete completely… Thankfully you gifted him to Lady Amiphossia."

Shadrach seemed to be fine with it, in fact, that's what he had always wanted?!

"Hey are you dumb or something Shadrach?! I thought we had a better friendship, if you had told me that I could had evolved you into a dragon sword no problem back on Genesis! Seriously you have to speak your mind a bit more from now on!" I sighed, crossing my arms in indignation.

"O-Oh… I didn't thought about that…"
