"You guys! I finally found all of you!" Nanya shouted after arriving at the area, slightly out of breath from running all the way from the dungeon entrance.
Originally, she was about to scold her students imdiately. However, the mont she arrived, she noticed everyone standing there completely stunned.
Nanya quickly turned her gaze forward and saw the monster currently undergoing evolution. A deep frown instantly appeared on her face.
"Brugrove has another evolution?! I’ve never heard of sothing like this before." she muttered seriously.
As a Master Tar and academy teacher, Nanya possessed extensive knowledge regarding nearly all monsters within the local duchy. From what she knew, Brubark evolved into Brugrove and that should have been the final stage. She never expected it could evolve once more.
anwhile, Oliver was also shocked, but not because of fear or panic. Instead, he was genuinely amazed.
This was actually the very first ti he had ever witnessed a monster evolving directly before his eyes. Throughout his short career as a tar and dungeon hunter, he had never once seen such a scene personally.
Even among most hunters in this region, evolving a monster was considered a rare occurrence. And if it ever happened, it usually occurred many years ago.
Examples of evolved monsters within his town were Woodthera belonging to Guildmaster Nolan, and Lumishell owned by Old Man Muden. However, both monsters had evolved decades ago, long before Oliver was even born.
"Teacher? You’re finally here." Lakshmi said after finally noticing Nanya’s arrival.
"There’s no ti to talk right now. Everyone, get into position imdiately!" Nanya ordered sharply.
An evolved monster was usually at least one rank higher than its previous form. Since Brugrove itself was already Rank A, then this newly evolved form was most likely Rank S. And considering it was also a mutated version, the situation had instantly beco far more dangerous.
The boss finally completed its evolution. A bright burst of light erupted from its body and sent powerful gusts of wind sweeping across the surrounding forest.
From within the fading light, a gigantic monster nearly five ters tall slowly rose to its feet. Massive horns now protruded from its head, while both of its arms had transford into enormous tree-bark-like limbs filled with overwhelming strength.
Oliver imdiately activated his eyes and scanned the evolved monster.

Brutitan (Mutated)
Rank S

"Rank S mutated, huh? This is getting pretty interesting." Oliver muttered before finally stretching his body lightly as he prepared to enter the battle properly. He pulled out his loyal Assault Dagger and calmly walked forward past Travers’ group.
"You guys should stay away from this area. This boss is on a completely different level I’m worried I won’t be able to protect all of you if things get out of control." Oliver warned seriously while staring at the evolved boss monster ahead.
Travers and Brie imdiately nodded after hearing his warning. They clearly understood their own limitations against a monster of this level. However, Rusti showed no intention of backing down.
"I also want to fight. If I only fight weak monsters all the ti, there’s no way I’ll ever grow stronger." Rusti said firmly. His eyes were filled with determination.
"Do whatever you want, brat. But don’t start screaming for help if sothing happens." Flora replied lazily.
"Huh! Says the person who hasn’t done anything until now. You’re just good in support. What would you even know about fighting?" Rusti scoffed.
Oliver and Flora imdiately looked at each other before both of them tried hard to hold back their laughter. Rusti frowned in confusion after seeing their reactions.
"Then...let show you how a support hunter actually fights." Flora smirked confidently. She then casually walked forward and stood before everyone else.
"Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!" Nanya shouted in surprise. Based on Nanya’s knowledge, the hunters within this region were mostly only Iron and Steel Rank. A monster like this was far beyond the level they should normally be capable of handling.
However, Flora completely ignored her. She calmly raised one of her hands. Instantly, a gigantic Predatory Bloom Hydra around three ters tall erged from the ground before charging directly toward Brutitan.
Then Flora waved her hand once more. Five gigantic tulip flowers instantly blood from the ground. From each flower, sharp thorn spears shot forward at high speed toward Brutitan.
Lastly, Flora moved her hand once again and activated Bloom of Binding, one of the twenty-one flora abilities belonging to her Master of Flora skill.
A gigantic fern-like plant instantly erged from the ground and tightly wrapped around one of Brutitan’s legs, completely immobilizing it.
At the sa mont, the Thorn Spears struck Brutitan directly. Each spear hit like a rocket crashing into its target, producing sharp wheezing sounds as they pierced through the monster’s body.
Unable to move, Brutitan beca nothing more than a sitting duck. Smoke and dirt exploded everywhere throughout the area.
Then, Predatory Bloom Hydra finally arrived before violently biting onto one of Brutitan’s arms. The massive arm was torn off completely and crashed onto the ground with a small quake.
"So strong...who exactly is she?" Lakshmi muttered in shock after witnessing Flora overwhelmingly suppress the boss monster with ease.
anwhile, Nanya was also staring at Flora with a deeply surprised expression.
’Is she so kind of hidden talent? Soone who intentionally avoids attention and quietly hunts in remote regions? But her abilities are way too powerful. There’s no way she’s truly just an Iron rank hunter.’ Nanya thought seriously while looking toward the hunter plate hanging at Flora’s waist.
"Don’t you think you overdid it a little, Flora?" Oliver asked while glancing toward her.
He had actually told Flora earlier to restrain her strength sowhat to avoid drawing too much suspicion.
"Hohoho...I’m sorry. I just wanted to show off a little in front of that brat." Flora replied playfully while glancing toward Rusti.
At that mont, Rusti’s face had already turned pale after witnessing the overwhelming damage Flora inflicted upon the boss.
"GRAAAARR!!"
Suddenly, Brutitan stood up once more. The injuries across its body rapidly regenerated, while the arm torn off earlier began growing back at visible speed.
Then, the monster slamd both of its massive hands into the ground. The earth surrounding everyone suddenly erupted violently. Monts later, five mutated Brugroves erged from the ground and surrounded the entire area.
"Are you kidding ?! It can summon boss monsters just like that?" Ovan shouted in shock. This was sothing he had never even heard of before.
"Ovan, with ! Jermain and Lakshmi, provide support from the back!" Nanya imdiately ordered. Without hesitation, all of them moved forward together as a coordinated team.
"Change to Arachnomancer Class!" Oliver shouted as he imdiately called upon Queen.
Finally, the Arachnomancer class entered the battlefield!!
