At first he walked slowly because he didn't want to see the clan members that he was in a hurry. After they disappeared from his sight – meaning, they reached a certain distance, without wasting his time, Shin activated his skills and almost disappeared from the place.
*Ding*
[ You have used the skill Speed Run ]
Since the skill had evolved, the speed at which Shin traveled was almost twice his maximum speed before!
Yes, his maximum speed earlier was when he combined Dash and Wind Run, but now, just the evolved skill Speed Run exceeded the speed limit of the previous by twice!
He ended up covering about one-eighth of the entire distance needed to reach the mountain.
After traveling that far within a few minutes, he decided to pause as his MP would have almost dried out if he had continued using his Evolved Skill.
[ MP: 597/1300|| Max. MP: 9999 ]
'I was so happy because of my increased speed and evolved skills that I completely forgot about the MP burden…'
While it is true that as skills evolved, sometimes they would consume lesser MP, however, for something that you need extra power or speed boost, you would require to spend more MP!
Since his skills evolved and were no longer its older self where it merely just raised his agility, Shin had to constantly check his MP as even a little usage of the higher skills could cause the entire drainage of the MP.
That was why, he was shocked to find that within a few minutes – about five or ten – his MP was reduced by more than half!
*huff huff*
'This is dangerous.'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'If I had not seen the MP stats, I would have run out of it.'
'…'
'That could have been the most dangerous situation.', Shin said to himself.
All his skills require the usage of MP. The only exceptions are – Wind Run and Aero Slash which he received from Aella.
Of course, if he were to just use the system in such a manner that he would be able to use the skills of his clan members, then there wouldn't be any need for his MP, however, the MP of the members would decrease.
What if they were in a dangerous situation and had only one skill to use? And what if without caring about that, Shin ended up using the skill from that individual?
It would have no other options other than facing death!
Yes, that is why, no matter what the situation, Shin cannot be careless since not only he, but also his clan members would be affected by whatever step he takes.
Anyway, he then continued to walk as he thought about all these things.
Also, his MP was slowly recovering and it would easily take about thirty minutes before his MP had been recovered completely.
'Hmm…'
'If all of my skills evolve, then that would end up throwing me into trouble since the amount of MP that I have won't be able to keep up with the skills…'
'In the future, if my MP doesn't increase drastically, then I don't think I would be able to use more than one or two skills…'
He pondered about it when he realized that he had a mana space.
[ Mana Space Lv.3: 200/200 ]
It was not much of a thing but yes, he could withdraw those 200 MP whenever he wanted and probably they could save him at times, but they were quite less too.
'As long as I don't have 10,000 MP, I would never feel safe.', he said to himself.
He was actually walking right beside the river. Yes, he thought that he would be safe, or naturally ignored the fact that there could be danger from the river as well.
All of a sudden, he was walking, some tentacle-like stuff emerged from the river at a high pace and grabbed one of Shin's hind limbs.
[ Warning ]
The attack was so fast, that the system too was late to display the warning sign and could only do so after the attack almost hit Shin and was about to wrap around his limb.
"Huh?"
He was startled.
He turned his head only to find his right hind limb wrapped by green weed-like stuff. At first, it felt prickly and stationary, but then it started to pull Shin's leg.
"What the-"
The pebbles on the shore made Shin slip easily. There wasn't enough room to provide friction. In fact, the soil made his leg sink a bit before he could do anything.
"How dare you attack me sneakily!", Shin howled.
He thought that it would be wise to look at the status right now, however, he refused to do so because the tension was high.
He could clearly see the thing that was wrapped around his leg and pulling him was made out of grass so without wasting any more time, he used the best skill for the moment!

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[ You have used the skill Flame Wave ]
[ A wave of flame has been formed and dispatched from the host ]
Yes, a literal flame wave surrounded Shin and blasted away from him, burning the tentacle-like grass.
Before it could be burnt anymore, the grass withdrew and since it was pulled into the water, the fire too extinguished.
Shin quickly jumped far away from the edge of the river and became extremely cautious.
He then used his skill All-Seeing Eyes to look at what was present under the river that attacked him.
*Ding*
[ You have used the skill All-Seeing Eyes ]
'Huh?'
He saw a weird plant emerging from the river. It seemed no different from a weed.
'System, what exactly is that?', he asked the system.
*Ding*
[ River-Weed ]
[ A highly dangerous plant-type monster that resides in water bodies, especially in Rivers ]
'No wonder…'
'Old man Mo was also an example of plant type monster.'
'It is true that there are a lot of plant-type monsters, however, seeing one such hostile is the first for me.', Shin said to himself.
Other than some trees in the forest of Thuren, Shin never encountered other plant-type monsters so he couldn't help but wonder about them.
