Chapter 467: A New Lease on Life

The room was silent as Gabriel's new contract materialized before them.

The black tortoise, now significantly smaller than its original house-sized form, only reached Gabriel's knees.

Aside from its size, there were other changes to its appearance.

Its shell, once adorned with intricate carvings that glowed faintly, now bore simpler patterns, though they still shimmered with a faint light.

The creature's eyes, originally sharp and intelligent, now held a childlike innocence, reflecting that along with its size and strength, its intelligence had also likely regressed.

The once imposing aura it radiated had also diminished, replaced by something gentler, almost comforting. It was as if the creature itself had been reborn, starting anew alongside its new master.
