[All of [Root] stats have increased]

[Several of [Root] Skills have leveled up]
Oooh! This is way more than I imagined! Although he didn't got to max level even after getting rid of a D Rank Monster, he leveled 14 times and he even got some interesting bonuses.
Apparently the Seed of Calamity skill grants him bonus Skill Proficiency to all Skills with every Level, so he can accumulate the Proficiency over leveling a lot and even level up all his Skills easily.
Damn, he was made to grow strong quickly.
"Gyuuu!"
FLASH!
Root suddenly grew a few centimeters, as he began overflowing with a bit more of power. His stats had skyrocketed accordingly.
"How much did he leveled up?" Helga wondered, cleansing the blood of her knife.
"14 Levels…"
"14?!"
All the dwarves were surprised.
"E-Even as a E+ Rank Monster, that's an insane speed of leveling!"
"At most it would had been four levels…"
"Yeah, that's' incredible."
"What sort of abilities does this tiny tree has?"
"Maybe the investment will eventually be worth it!"
"Gyuuuh! I will become strong quickly for master!" Root began to get pumped up, jumping off the corpse of the frog and then stretching his roots all over the frog, beginning to… sap its blood and flesh.
This was a new Skill named [Draining Roots] with them, he can drain blood, flesh, and anything as if it were a slurpy from an already dead foe to recover HP and MP.
"Alright then! Where's our next target?" I wondered.
Quickly, we spotted another frog not so far away. This one wasn't trapped but was completely confused about what was happening right now. His whole world was suddenly frozen, I can't blame him.
"Gerorororo!"
The frog felt surrounded and threanted as the dwarves encircled the purple-colored amphibian. It was a big monster though, so it could easily charge forward and run over them.
"GEROROOOO!"
The frog opened its enormous fangless mouth as an enormous tongue emerged from within. Just as Helga explained, that thing's tongue had the shape of a morning star with sharp spikes covered on purple poison!
CLAAASH!
The hit alone shattered the ice in front of the frog, as it cracked open and led to the swamp below. The dwarves stepped back a bit, as they began throwing Bone Javelins I made for them.
This was also a way for them to train so it was killing two birds with one stone. These dwarves are not going to remain weak forever, I'll slowly train them and then let them power level in my dungeon eventually.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Three bone javelins were launched at the frog, covering its body. The HP quickly began going down, each Javelin made the frog lose around ten to fifteen percent of its HP, quickly going below half its total HP.
"GEROOO!"
However, the frog desperately utilized a skill, opening its enormous mouth and then spitting acidic purple-colored slimy poison everywhere.
SPLAAASH!
"Ah shit!"
"Watch out!"
"Run!"
The dwarves panicked, but I soon enough, the splash of poison reached them and… nothing happened.
"Huh?"
They quickly realized there were large barriers made of darkness covering their bodies and protecting them, the poison didn't even got to them.
"Purification."
FLAAASH!
I conjured Purification and purified the poison right away.
Helga caught up to everything going on and decided to go along.
"Charge! Weaken that thing so the tiny tree can level up some more!"
"Alright!"
The dwarves unified as one squadron, charging forward using their shields and crushing the frog from all sides, while their swords began stabbing the frog from the little crevices.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"GEROOO…!"
The frog began struggling more and more, as Root quickly went to finish it off, jumping towards it by suddenly shaping into a long and sharp wooden spear of almost 50 centimeters!
CLAAASSSHH!
"GRAAHH…"
The frog suddenly had its forehead pierced by the shapeshifting Root, as it fell dead over the ground…

Root quickly glowed with a golden aura, covering his body for a split of a second, as if he was renewed, his empty eyes grew slightly bigger and his branch-like pointy nose became longer and funnier looking.
"Gyugyu! Max Level!" He celebrated.

As little Root celebrated, I took a peek at his stats. They were looking really big out of thin air. He seems to have amazing stat growths for his Rank, Seed of Calamity boosts stat growths directly, so that must be the reason behind them.
And above all, something I had realized before when I checked his status for the first time… Root has the Aether Stat for some reason!
Anyways, let's better evolve him, the faster he evolves the stronger he'll get.
