I will explain it in a way that is easy to understand.
It's a little strange why he didn't realize that there were too few fish in the river after a month.
He may have noticed, but maybe he only think "I'm lucky because I'm scared".
Well, if he want to live quietly, that's fine, but … I want to go to the ground.
I want to graduate from this river life as fast as the evolution permit.
But … He was reincarnated here about a month ago.
When I was reincarnated, there were almost no fish around me at the time.
That means that Bedlock has been around for over a month.
It may be too late for this river, but … it's too early to give up.
For the time being, we will exterminate that Bedlock no matter what, and while returning this river to normal, we will also receive experience points and evolve so we can do some groundwork for going to the ground.
Yep, this is killing two fis- bird with one stone.
[Will you evolve?]
Of course, the voice of heaven. Though I don't know if I can beat Bedlock.
[Choose an evolution path]
I choose Rain Kings.
I can see that my body is deforming when I think about it. I'm used to this feeling.
This time, my body only grew bigger, so I don't feel any pain.
It looks the same, but it seems to be about 1.5 times larger.
My figure has a skeleton similar to black bass, but only the area around the mouth has changed slightly.
This is a trivial change, but … apparently my fangs are sticking out of my mouth.
And the beard is gone.
E- eeh! ?? Before I knew it, my beard was gone! ? A dragon should have a pair of beard! I wish I had it even if its small, but why would they erase iiiiit!
I-I mean … The dignity as a dragon will be lost.
B-but I am still a fish. If I'm able to gout of river, somehow I'll think about it. It will work out somehow. Somehow!
When I was convinced myself, I saw Reizen evolved.
The originally thick scales become a little thinner and transform into a normal looking scales.
However, the scales of the block fish are still barely there, and the scales that look like a diamond cut in half is still there.
However, if you touch it, you will only get a reaction like "Oh, it's rough".
Certainly, it is understandable that this is also used as an add-on for armor.
However … I think it's okay to use it as a weapon rather than as an ornament because it boasts a considerable amount of defense with that scale.
Thinking about that, it seems that his evolution has been done safely.
It seems that he is exercising lightly to see if he can move.
I'll check the status too. My way of fighting is likely to change depending on what I can do.

===============
Two skills I don't know come out.
[Body strengthening
But did I get three skills? After all, Rain Kings is the leader and has a lot of skills.
Alright, let's check the skill.
===============
-Rigid jaw-
Skill to forcibly raise the strength of your jaw.
===============
-Body strengthening
Limited enhancement. Physical strength increases slightly when the weather is cloudy.
===============
... This [Rigid Jaw] is absolutely dangerous. This "forcibly raise the strength" part amplifies the horror.
I'm a little scared because this may have a side effects …
[Body strengthening
As the conditions become more profitable, the limitation are reduced.
….. Should I synthesize it?
First of all, if synthesis [Body strengthening
I'm weaker when the weather is sunny, but it's better to get stronger if I can get stronger.
I haven't used it that much … this [Partial Body Strengthening (hard)].
[Do you want to establish a new skill by synthesizing [Physical strengthening
What happens if all of it synthesized !?
[Do you want to synthesize?]
... Like I said, What happens if all of it synthesized?
[Do you want to synthesize?]
...Okay.
Voice of Heaven you little- …! Come on, just a bit of spoiler. What a killjoy!
When this happens, synthesis has become a gambling.
No matter when, let's be careful when synthesizing …
[[Physical strengthening
... Ateji**! ?? Wait, it's not unreadable!
Well, is that all right? Heavenly voice … I hope it's good.
What kind of ability did I obtained?
===============
-Strengthening
Whenever the weather is sunny or not, physical strength and hardness increase.
===============
So that's it. Did they stick together just like that?
Uwaaah ~ I though its going to be [Physical Strengthening
Well, this is all luck. Let's proceed patiently.
Then, I still want to synthesize. This time, it's a combination of [Fangtooth] and [Rigid Jaw]!
As expected, I feel that [Fangtooth] has only the power of [Large Mouth].
So, if I push the [Rigid Jaw] to overwrite it, will the attack power increase even more!?
That's why I will synthesize it!
[Do you want to establish a new skill by synthesizing [Fangtooth] and [Large Mouth]? ]
Please do!
[Combining [Fangtooth] and [Rigid Jaw], [Herculean Jaw] obtained. [Fangtooth] and [Rigid Jaw] will be discarded]
He-, [Herculean Jaw] .... It's upward compatible with [Fangtooth].
As a rule of thumb said, when you acquire a new skill, it is recommended to try it first.
I don't really recommend doing it in a unstable condition or dire situation(low MP).
There are only two types that could be synthesized this time, but since [Strengthening
[Herculean Jaw]!
I tried to activate it, but nothing changed.
Until now, there must have been some change in my body, so I don't think it will be unnoticable.
I was surprised when I checked the status because I thought it was strange.

===============
This right here Mr. Officer, attack power +250! ? Heck! Isn't it a bug somewhere in this status!?
No, it seems strong after it synthesized, but I don't think it's going to be broken this far, I though I synthesized it- or rather sticking the skills with glue!
Uwaah~ … I feel like I can win no matter what comes.
I feel that Bedlock isn't that hard either …
Ah, the skill column is pretty neat. But what should I do with [Large Mouth], seriously?
Will it be combined with [Luminous]? You hate it if a flashlight in your mouth when you open your mouth, right?
Is there anything else I can use for this unnecessary skill …? Heavenly voice, what is the recommended solution for this matter?
[Skills that are no longer needed can be discarded. Discarded skills will be experience points]
I'll throw it away.
It was surprisingly a prompt decision from me.
What is the point if I have 2 mouth related skills while I only have one mouth.
(F-n: err, combine them simulateously like in the early chapter before he can sync the skills?)
After I knew it would be converted as experience point, so it would be a good idea to discard it here.
It's a hassle if I hold it forever and fill the skill column and it becomes difficult to see.
It's a good idea to organize these things properly.
It would be a hassle to synthesize and dispose of each time I acquire a skill, but there should be no problem.
Alright, my skill arrangement is over, so the rest is how Reizen is.
Reizen was looking at me.
Apparently, while I was organizing my skills, Reizen already done organizing his skills.
It seems that I made him wait.
"Ah, Ouren-big bro, are you done?"
"Did I keep you waiting? My bad. "
"No! No problem at all!"
"OK, then.... What kind of skill did Reizen get? "
"Yes! I got [Rock Shot] and [Partial Body Strengthening (Hard)]! So, I created a new skill called [Rock Gun] by synthesizing [Rock Shot] and [Partial Body Strengthening (Sharp)] that I had before!"
[Rock gun] … It sounds quite strong.
I decided to get the details of [Rock Shot] and [Rock Gun] from Reizen.
===============
-Rock shot-
Skill to aim and attack with your own scales. The scales regenerate immediately.
===============
-Rock gun-
Skill to aim and attack with your own scales. Can be fired continuously. The scales regenerate immediately.
===============
It's like a long-range attack.
It is very encouraging to be able to make long-range attacks instead of me, who mainly uses melee attacks.
Reizen will be overwhelmingly weaker than me, but his skills is very useful.
It seems that there is little danger to the body if he can use long ranged skill.
I also check Reizen's status.

He's still tanky! The defense power is almost the same as when he was a BlockFish!?
Errr … Would you like to exchange skills? I think Reizen is more suitable for close combat.
