Chapter 87.5: news

as he looks down at his nails he notices that they've become black and he felt like there was more to this.

he focused on that feeling in his fingers and soon after, they grew a tiny bit and sharpened turning them into claws.

he wasen't surprised by this, but he was still kinda amazed and wondered if he could always of done this.

he looked up at the sprout and she looked weary of him but hid her hostility just incase it was the same little boy.

he simply smiled and waved saying something but due to the language barrier and the spell not being active she didn't understand him, but from his gesture and tail swaying and looks he was the same kid...just a little diffrent.

-------

his once cute looks intensified slightly, making him more alluring which now could and will draw in both good and a bad types of people, also his ability to be lewd more, it intensified.

also his once. . .little sex appeal and muscles completly dissapeared, making him have an avrage and petty normal and simple body figure but it made him look even cuter♡.

but at the same time he gave off a more pure and innocent look but what actually intensified was on his other side, it was his chaos and bloodlus states, the other side to him was kinda psychotic.

also a few other part to him changed a little bit not that important not noticeable much,

.

like how the snow-white tips got a little longer spreading up a tiny bit or how his body became more compact but also seemed like if you hugged him he was a marshmallow somehow,

.

and or like how a few racial quirks was added... just like claws and for some reason his nails turned black and also his aphrodisiac got a little stronger. . .

no it defently got stronger and so did some of his skills and also kitsune second form was now available and the rewards from the mission with four bases still needed to be collected.

.

.

but none of them were truly that important.

.

but there was one thing that was. . .

.

.

and it was that his soul armors affects lessened....now instead of 3/4 of his mana being stabilized, only 1/2 of it was and also his avalable mana was half as well.

it may seem good seeing as he can use mana more but thats not true, lotus/Rin is a specal case and his mana manipulation isn't just uncontrollable and he's terrible at it nor is it trash like said in the past,

.

in reality his mana resonates and resonated with him in a deeper level and understanding, kinda like how a tree is connected to the core of nature and stuff.

.

so the more the soul armors affects lessen the more his actions will be impulsive and he'll act more like what he is and his true self without all of this acting nor thinking reasonably.

it may be for the better seeing as he went seventeen years without the armors stabilizing his mana and him, but he's been using potions to stabilize himself and since he can't get to them no one could truly see the real him.

but also ever since he wore them he's been able to keep himself at peace and everything around him, nor did he actually feel like he was just some demon.

so now lotus isn't really gonna be more thinking and carring when it comes to some situations, its gonna he more of him acting or doing somthing were he can't resist stepping in and or saying somthing. . .or just sitting their amused by these foolish creatures

----------

the spout didn't wave back but instead she slowly approached him cautiously as she was wondering how he'd act and if he was truly someone else but in disgust trying to trick her.

as she got close to him she just used that language spell and asked who he was and he replied the same as before and she sighed as it truly was the same kid, but he just looked diffrent.

she was glad it wasen't someone else because the more she watched him the more she thought of him as kinda like her own child if she were to have one.

a little bit later lotus was starting to get hungry and the zil was sunbathing to feed herself.

lotus saw her doing that and he crawled over to her since she was close bye,

as he got to her she looked down to him as she was standing and she gestured for him to sho and buzz off.

she was making food through the process of photosynthesis and he was interrupting her, he didn't leave tho and she gestured she'd bite and feed on him if he didn't leave.

but he just didn't want to go, and so she did as she said and she cautiously grabbed his arm and bite it, all her teeth were retractable and when she went to bite they all became sharp.

he didn't resist but the tears came a little form the pain, not even a minute went bye and she let go and flicked him in the forhead before going back to make her own food again.

but he just crawled back up to her and toughed on her hand which made her get annoyed, he's clearly passive and peaceful but she was really hoping he'd attack so she'd have a reason to kill him.

but then as she was about to shoo him away, her heard his stomach rumble and she realized he was just hungry.

she pointed to the mountain of bones and he shook his head, she ruled out that he wasen't a bone crusher...but now she had to find out what the hell he actually needed.

she got frustrated and used the communication spell to ask him what he wanted but he just replied with he didn't know which made her kinda mad.

she was about to hit him over the head but then he crawled away from her into a certain direction.

she got confused by this but then she saw him go into a wild Barry bush, after a few minutes he came back over and handed her a hand of barries while he kept the others for himself.

when she was talking before he was looking around and he spotted a bush that had somthing that looked a little tasty, so when she let go of him he just went to get some,

but he didn't want to be greedy so he brung some and more and split it with zil.

she accepted it and even tho she wasen't going to eat it, even tho she kinda thought of him just as food and a power booster she changed her thought about him due to his kind actions, even tho she could make her own food and she told him that too, he still did it, also now she could finally be left alone.

she went back to the light and continued to make food,

meanwhile lotus finished and he kinda wanted to annoy his aunt but he knew she'd get mad if he continously pestered her, so he desided to explore this cage he was in.

she never removed the pillars and when he asked about it she said it was for their safety, but either way he didn't really care much, all he wanted to do was look around.

after a few hours of this he found nothing but his hunger increased and he didn't want the barries anymore, he wanted somthing. . .else.

***

[ Sarah's PoV ]

you think he finally evolved?

'yea I'm pretty sure he did, after all look your appearance and body's changed, also whats with that weird outfit' Moon said as he was chilling in Sarah's head.

dunno but I feel a little strange, I think we should lotus as quick as we can, I don't want to be in this world for a while, I wanna go home to the guardian plain.

'you only saying that because there's not enough miasma to keep your foundation stable, but I agree' moon said because this evolved state needed more of lotus mist/miasma to keep her in this plain.

okay lets leave and find lotus, I dont know how much more I can last.

'but remember the other way, we can instantly get back to him if we do it' Moon sugested.

yea but that way may make us go to sleep for a while.

'and!. . .don't be stupid, the more we stay out like this the more we'll be draining lotus, so just hurry up and recall or I'll leave you here and go back myself' Moon said because he didn't have enough either.

"okay fine! 'sigh' but I guess I have no choice now" as she said that she looked around the nurses office to make sure it was clear since she passed out during lotus's evolution.

once she saw she wasent alone a blue and red mist flowed out of here untill she was no more and those two mists became like clouds and just shot out of their and headed to lotus's location.

***

meanwhile as this was happening a certain demon had found its target just waiting to be sucked dry and feed.

also in another place there was a three people who missed that little devil and also they didn't mind him and his feeding but they couldn't stand not seeing him around and talking with him.

.

he didn't realize it but he really did effect their lives in many ways, but he's too native to realize it.

meanwhile in with the elves, one of them acted like they didn't care, but after he showed his kindness and she witness the fight she kinda admired him in a respective way even if he was a survent.

meanwhile Nara was still didn't mind him that much and was waiting for lotus to come and end the contract, but she still was thankful for him healing her roommate.

but LuQuin. . .she was upset that he hasn't spoken to her in a few days nor visit her, she had a plan to tie him up next time she saw him and was gonna make him not ignore her anymore.

***meanwhile back home****

mia was casually doing like she always did and that was school and work then come back home to be greated with some frendly faces, but she was secretly plotting something

Jennifer immediately gave up on her harem idea after talking with Rin, she was actually teasing him and hoping for him to say something dramatic like she was his and no one else can have her or somthing like that in her head.

.

after all whats the point of having a harem if your brother and loves isn't even in there,

.

but besides that she's been feeding every few days for hunger and mana, but her girlfriend has been getting more and more. . .tired and unable to keep up with Jenny's sex drive, so instead of daily it has to be every few days which Jenny understood, also she's been cultivating her mana everyday like Rin told her to.

the four survents have been doing their daily duties and its been peacful between them.

yuri has been learning from Jenny how to cook and he's been helping around everyday for dinner to be helpful.

.

but besides that he'd usually just study and attend classes with Jenny and yuu.

yuu has been training alot due to Rin saying he'd leave them behind for another mission if they couldn't get stronger, so she's been at it since that day he said that to her, but she's also been studying too because she heard Rin was kinda a geek and would of appreciated it.

.

also besides her taking her masters words to heart she'd usually help jenny out and they became closer, they became friends and when Jenny wasent with her friends she'd be with yuu.

Yuna was still in that tanuki form and didn't really want to reveal her witch self yet untill her master returned, but also besides that she's been in her beast form as a black cat and she's been sleeping or helping whenever needed.

.

also she's the smartest one their besides mai so she's been the teacher/tutor for jenny, yuri, yuu.

neko's been using her hunter-apprentice license to the fullest and she's been going to low level dungeons to both hunt and eat monster cores and to try and get stronger as well...

.

but besides that all she does is wait for Rin to return by sleeping in his bed and doing some weird stuff while plotting on what she's gonna do to him when he returns.

******

Olivia's been stressed and overworked due to local cultivators casting trouble and making her work more as apart of the student council's disaplinary comities head.

Marc has been having to deal with all the stuff lily and a few others usually do with Rin and he didn't mind it at first but now he's question how does Rin deal with all of these people.

Lily she's been off the radar and just messing with everyone while always saying wassup to Rin but he hasn't replied in a few days making her worrie a bit.

Elaine super stressed and the way she's dealing with it isn't the best since she's suppressing it, but she may snap soon if it goes on, also she's helping with her fathers teachings at the dojo as a side job.

Anita returned from heven and has chosen to sit aside from all wars and or battles, she chose the peacful approce so she could stay with her crush in the lower world.

sally still class rep/president and has been coping with eveything pretty good, but she has been worried about and arguing with a few of the hunters in the class for belittling others for stupid reasons.

Sophia she's been laying low and since the indecent noting has happened besides her blaming herself for what happened, but that fadded soon after she was told by the one she liked that it wasent her fault and that if anything it was the garu clans and they'll pay soon, she said she'd be waiting for that time to come and she'll help him whenever he needs her, after all she's an ex-Knight now.
