As Angel frowned, trying to find new clues from the mushroom, its emotions suddenly shifted once more.

Just as Angel was baffled, a massive vertical fissure opened down the center of the mushroom's stalk. It was clearly its mouthpart.
For along the edges of the crack, dense rows of sharp teeth could be seen.
Angel had once read information about snails on the Holographic Tablet. It said that a snail's mouth was packed with hundreds of rows of teeth, amounting to tens of thousands in total. Though Angel had remembered that fact at the time, he had never given it much thought. Now, upon seeing the densely packed sharp teeth inside the mushroom before him, he recalled it at once.
However, unlike a snail's teeth, which were practically harmless to humans, the mushroom's teeth were different. From Angel's perspective as an alchemist, those fangs were sharp enough to tear apart a human protected by defensive spells.
