Chapter 968 Evolving Naturia
-----
After collecting the Yggdrasil Fruit and saving it inside my inventory, we had some breakfast first before anything, and once we were done with that, I decided to do the evolution ritual inside of my Dungeon's first floor.
Just to make sure there wouldn't be any weird variables, like a crazy monster coming to eat the fruit right away or something. My mother also said its scent could go all the way through various continents, and that we were lucky we were in the skies where the scent would dissipate above the clouds…
So we better use it as quick as possible to not make any more problems occur!
By the way, before evolving her, these were Naturia's final stats after she hit max level some months ago.

Now that the Stars were updated into the Status, it was shown she was actually three stars in her race and class… And I guess it makes sense, she had gone through like four evolutions.
From a tiny seed to a seedling, to a little plant, to a small tree, to a magical spirit tree! Quite honestly, it was amazing how far she has gone.
"You've sure come a long way, Naturia!" I giggled.
"Have I, master?" She wondered. "Maybe I'll get even bigger now, hehehe!"
"Let's hope so! I'm going to feed you an S+ Grade Material, so it better work!" I nodded. "Now, mom, I think it's ready, right?"
"Yes, we've worked on it." My mom nodded.
We spent an entire hour working on a huge magic circle with my mother, uncle Arafunn, and Alice. I could had done it on my own, but I would had taken much longer. And the help of my mother and my uncle helped on refining the magic circle so it all would work much better.
"Alright, your Familiar Spirit must already be on her fourth stage of evolution, right? That's where they always get stuck until you find the incredibly rare material they need." My mother seemed to have experienced this herself quite a bit. "Prepare yourself, once they hit the fifth stage, Spirits become incredibly strong. They not only gain new forms, but also new and amazing abilities, even elements they weren't able to use before can become available."
"W-Wow, really…?" I was shocked.
"Indeed!" She nodded. "But enough chit-chat, let's start. Naturia, sit over there."
"Okay~" Naturia sat over the center of the magic circle.
All the materials I've gathered were all placed in a large circular node each, with the largest one right next to her having the Yggdrasil Fruit Yggdra created.
I wonder… will her stats become as big as Nephilim and Yggdra after her evolution? They're indeed ridiculous stats! But those two aren't Spirits though, they're still different. Nephilim is a golem I guess, and Yggdra is a spirit tree monster.
"Let's begin." I said. "Spiritual Evolution Circle, activate!"
FLAAASH!
I let all of my Mana flow into the magic circle, which activated rapidly. All its runes rotated against one another, the materials were being absorbed, turned into pure energy, and flying towards Naturia.
The energies and auras of the materials reached her, fusing into her body one after another, generating big explosions of pure light, which were almost blinding.
And lastly, the Yggdrasil Fruit became the brightest light, resembling a small star of its own!
FLASH!
The light engulfed her once more, as I felt Naturia's very existence changing, rewriting itself, and becoming even greater. I felt millions of Runes spreading across her entire body and soul.
This was… the evolution of a Spirit into the Fifth Stage, something much more special than other beings!
The bright light slowly receded, as Naturia's silhouette could be seen from within the bright, receding light. She looked more humanoid than before too, and around my same size, maybe five to ten centimeters smaller, but she was really tall now.
"Huh? Oh… Did I became human?" She wondered. "Oh, elf! No?"
He appearance left us all mesmerized. From a Spirit that looked to be made of plants, into the appearance of a beautiful, young, and innocent-looking elven-like girl, with very long and sharp elven ears, long green hair made into two tails, wrapped on countless flowers, vines, and other plants.
She was wearing a beautiful green dress made of all kinds of plants, flowers and little fruits growing over her dress. Her skin was of a clear brown color, with many green colored tattoos across it, resembling the branches and roots of a tree.
I noticed her exposed back, a big tattoo of a large Yggdrasil tree, its branches and roots spreading across the rest of her body.
In her forehead, there was a little green jewel as well, overflowing with spiritual energy and… a hint of divinity!
"W-What…?!" My mother of all people reacted in utter disbelief. "What… has she become?! This is unheard of! T-This is…!"
"I can't believe it…" Arafunn was just as immensely flabbergasted.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Naturia wondered.
Without realizing, her very presence exuded a tremendous aura of divine spiritual energy, shaped into the form of a gigantic tree made of pure green and golden light, growing larger and larger…
"Such a Divine Aura! That's my daughter!" Yggdra was very proud.
"T-This is insane!" Alice said. "N-Naturia… She became…!"
Ding!
[The Familiar Spirit [Naturia] has evolved into a [Divine Nature Spirit: Dryad (B+ Rank)]!]
[All her Stats have greatly increased!]
[She learned new Skills!]
"She became a Dryad!" I said in surprise. "Wait, Dryad…"
"Those are the Divine Nature Spirits that watch over the Yggdrasil Trees… They are the guardians of the forest, incredibly strong beings born from the world itself to protect its nature!" My mother explained. "T-This is incredible…!"
