Benladann had evolved! And she got buffer and even more beautiful.

Sometimes I feel lucky to have such a beauty at my side- Ugh, okay, let's not sound like a simp for now.

"D-Drake?"

I was staring rather intensively at Benladann's body, so she felt a bit embarrassed.

I quickly swallowed saliva as I averted my gaze from her.

"Sorry, it just that… After evolving you became… even more beautiful," I said, rather timidly. I simply had to get this out of my chest.

Benladann's face went from blue to red in a split of a second, as she averted her gaze from me too.

"I-I see…! I-I am… glad you find me… b-beautiful…" she said.

The atmosphere got pretty tense all out of a sudden…

"Anyways, I don't know why you evolved… But maybe it could have something to do with drinking my blood?" I asked her.

"Oh right… your blood! I didn't think about it, but yeah… Maybe it was really because of your blood, Drake… Perhaps it changed me in more ways than I thought?" wondered Benladann.

"Well, let me inspect you with my Ability…" I said, as I used Analyze on her to see her full Status.

…

Her stats really skyrocketed! Although they are not comparable to me, they are very high nonetheless!

Benladann is most likely in the same league as me as those that are way stronger than their own cultivation realms… This is quite possibly the quirk of any Unique Ability User, we are probably gifted with more talent.

Like Benladann's talent is due to her Mold Attribute Mana Core, which was made of her Unique Skill and therefore made into the highest grade and talent possible…

Her race also changed into High Ice Giant… and she also got a series of new Abilities…

…

[Half-Monster]

Someone who possesses a half-monster bloodline has the capacity of having the chance of evolving while ranking up their cultivation stages and realms, bringing a greater enhancement to their capabilities and even a change of race.

…

This is it! But how did she got this?! Was her father a monster? I doubt it…

So it was all due to my blood? Does my blood have such mutagenic properties? Really?

…

[Thin Ice Dragon Bloodline]

An Ability that those who have attained a small, thin amount of dragon bloodline are capable of developing it further through cultivation, being capable of unlocking more power from it.

…

Okay, so this pretty much confirms it…

"It seems your race has become High Ice Giant, and you acquired a few abilities… such as half-monster and thin ice dragon bloodline… I didn't know my blood would have such strange properties, I feel like I am a Vampire now…" I sighed.

However, instead of feeling weirded out as I thought, Benladann was actually happy over this.

"Really?! Then that means I am a bit like you too, Drake!" she said.

"Eh?" I asked.

"Perhaps if I develop it enough, I could become a dragon like you, and we can- Ah! I mean… I…" Benladann began to stutter and become all red again… Does she wants to become a dragon to… be with me?

Ah, she's so noble…

But I doubt it would be that type of deal, it will probably bring her a greater enhancement to her strength and stuff, but going as far as a full dragon transformation? Quite unlikely.

"I don't think you will be able to suddenly transform into a dragon, Benladann… But it is nice to see that you're eager to become closer to me through that… A-Anyways, this thin dragon bloodline will probably bring you more of a passive enhancement than anything superficial…" I said.

"O-Oh! I see… That's nice! I really feel quite strong, like… I could lift you!" she said, as she grabbed me and lifted me into the air… to note, I am around three meters in my smallest form.

"See? I can lift you now! Who's my cutest dragon? You are!" she said.

"O-Oi don't treat me like a pet now!" I roared, as she left me on the floor with a little chuckle.

"Sorry… It was just a little play," she said.

"Well, whatever, let's go celebrate by having some breakfast," I said.

"Yay!"

Everyone was rather surprised at Benladann's evolution, it seemed that her presence had become stronger, so even Frost and Yuki noticed her changes aside from the tattoos.

"I feel way taller now… like my head is above yours…" said Benladann, petting me.

"You know that I could go back to my normal size and completely dwarf you! In fact, I am doing it," I said, quickly taking my original size of around 7 meters if not a bit more.

"Geh… Y-Yeah, maybe I am getting too cocky? Hehe…" she chuckled.

"Hmph, I am the one that pets your head here!" I said as I petted her silky silvery-white hair.

Benladann smiled gently.

"Hehe, I love when you pet me, Drake…"

"I-Is that so? Then I will… pet you as much as I want," I said.

We had a large feast celebrating Benladann's evolution and Rank Up, as Fuyu told me that we had already crossed through the mountains, soon enough we might arrive at her town, I am a bit nervous…
