[ Your blood companion 'Light (Three-eyed Lightning Cat)' has consumed a 'Beast Essence Pearl'... ]

Hearing the late system notif and looking at Light who already grew to the size of a big lion, I was absolutely surprised about this weird development that occurred as a result of my attempt to wake up Light, it almost turned my whole plan upside down…

It looked like he had already went through half of his growth cycle, his body did grow to a lion's even though he looked like a small kitten previously, proving himself to be the proud descendant of the Thunder Lion that acted as the overlord of Thunder Forest, even though he didn't resemble him much when it came to his extremely black fur and it's three different colored eyes...

'Do I have to leave him here…?'

Taking another look at Light's current state as he stood there with his eyes staring at the wall as if he didn't notice me, I couldn't help but wonder about how I should deal with this situation, it would be inconvenient for my previously prepared plans to move along someone of that size, I wouldn't deny that he could possibly act as a great mount but I might have to dig onto some old problems to pass him off as my mount…

However, it seemed like I had gone overboard with my thinking as it seemed that the awakening process was actually yet to end!

[ Under the passive effect of the Unique Skill 'Blood Companion', the effects of the 'Beast Essence Pearl' on 'Light (Three-eyed Lightning Cat)' is strengthened! ]

"Meow!"

Poof!

As if someone threw in a gas grenade out of nowhere, smoke broke out from the position of Light's new huge body as I couldn't see his silhouette anymore after his small cute meow that didn't suit his current state broke out…

[ 'Light (Three-eyed Lightning Cat)' has awakened a new body ability! ]

'Could it be…'

Using my wind elements to drive away the smoke that obstructed my view to check what actually happened to Light as I wondered what this new ability might be…

"Meeeoww… meow!"

'This…'

What greeted me was actually an energetic little Light who had already returned to his old size, jumping at me and hanging onto my clothes with his little claws…

'This is too much cuteness for me to handle…'

Getting a bit distracted by the sight of cute little Light whose fur became more fluffy and shiny, giving him a 'cute & cool' look, I couldn't stop myself from holding him in my embrace for a bit before I actually checked his status so that I could understand what happened just now.

"Meowwwww…"

'Is this the cause…?'

[ 'Myriad Growth Transformations'

Description: Thanks to several special conditions, 'Light (Three-eyed Lightning Cat)' has reached a physical peak beyond its growth point as an infant, as such, the 'Light (Three-eyed Lightning Cat)' has manifested this body ability that enables it to change its body state to that of a future growth state as long as its physical stats allows it to. ]

'Crazy…'

Reading the new ability's description, I couldn't help but nod at the first statement, Light's physical stats has indeed grown beyond the logical point, all of them were almost at 15 points, which was basically halfway to the human race's cap, and although when compared to my stats these numbers couldn't be considered that high, the crazy part about it was that Light was still a 'lv.1' creature who has yet to live beyond one month!

At the time I had to level up beyond 90 times to reach the cap for all my stats, this little cute kitten had managed to reach half of that value on its physical stats just by relying on the essence inheritance that his father left to him along with a 'Blood Nourishment Beast Pearl' or what the system called as the 'Beast Essence Pearl', which hardly took time for his short life which he had spent most of it sleeping…

'This should be something similar to a 'stat limit break' ability…'

After reading the ability's description once more, I could only assume that such was the case, after all, Light's physical growth was obviously the highlight behind the manifestation of this body ability according to the description.

'All for the better…'

It was yet another time when overthinking was unlikely to help with anything, so I decided to just let it be as I slightly tightened my embrace around little Light, letting my emotions out for a bit…

"Welcome Back!"

Even though he had always been staying inside my bag so far and hasn't technically left me, it was several times different to interact with the lively version of Light when compared to the just cutely sleeping cat.

"Meow!"

As if he understood my welcome, little Light dove more into my embrace as he acted extremely affectionate, to the point that I was almost going to get an emotional overflow moment…

"Meow meow meowwww…"

'It's about time to get out of here…'

Having been stuck inside the small shack for several hours, all to finish the list of my advancement processes that I left aside till this point, I only took a quick shower using my 'Spatial Device' alongside Light who didn't seem to hate water like cats usually did, before changing into a clean cloth attire and ending this small seclusion…

"Meowwww…"

As the wind brushed along Light's fur which had a little shine to it thanks to the shower we had just now, he continued letting out his cute meows as I focused on him for a bit before noticing the presence of someone standing a few meters away from the small shack's door.

"Young Lan! Did you finally finish your closed door training?"

"Yes Chief, is something the matter…?"
