CHAPTER 854: EVOLUTION

Once all the matters had been settled, Clovis quickly proceeded with his evolution. Unlike the others that could absorb the essence, Clovis increased his evolution progress by consuming the food from Another World Mall.

And to be able to bypass the gap between him and Jay and Kanaria, Clovis had no choice but to consume a lot of food, even if it meant overeating.

Of course, the only way to make that suffering not as much as it should be, Clovis asked Rin for a favor.

Yes, Rin would be cooking for all the food he consumed, but she certainly saw Clovis eating with a pale face to the point where she expelled him from the kitchen and the dining room to stop him.

Still, thanks to that gruesome eating, Clovis was able to get all his evolution progress to 100%. It was time for him to become a Tier 6 human.

It seemed that Jay and Kanaria had become one 2 days and 3 days after they went back respectively. Meanwhile, Clovis took 6 days.

There was a qualitative leap between Tier 5 and Tier 6, especially in handling the secondary affinity.

Just like Christina said, they could handle their secondary affinity much better after reaching Tier 6. Meanwhile, when they were Tier 5, they could only do it with their primary affinity.

According to Christina, Tier 7 would help them with the tertiary affinity, so that was why her strength was significantly higher than the rest of the team, except for the unusual ones like Clovis.

Nevertheless, Clovis was able to reach Tier 6 without any problems. And because of his Abyss Time, he definitely didn’t benefit much from the evolution.

"I’m finally done with the evolution... Thank you for your hard work." Clovis waved his hand, thanking Rin, who had been helping him the whole time.

Rin was staring with a helpless expression. "You can just wait another week to evolve, no? Why one week?"

Clovis smiled. "It should be two weeks, but the matter has been pushed back for a week because of the visit. That’s why I only have one week."

"Seriously?" Rin was speechless. "Are you a workaholic or something?"

"Well, I won’t deny that, but I can balance it from time to time."

"..." Rin let out a long sigh. Clovis’ face was still pale, so those words meant so little to Rin. Instead, she poured him tea. "Drink it. It should make you feel better. But it looks like your diet has been disrupted because of this stunt."

"No worries. Your food is so delicious that I won’t have trauma with food." Clovis gave a peace sign.

Rin looked like she wanted to eat Clovis alive, but those words just stopped her. "Do you think I will be happy if my food is used to become a murder weapon?"

"If I die of happiness, then I don’t know what to say." Clovis winked playfully while sipping the tea.

It looked like she had prepared it for him the whole time. It warmed his body, making it feel like he had less burden, especially with all the food he had consumed not long ago.

Rin clicked her tongue. "Anyway, get away from the kitchen. I’m not giving you anything until dinner."

"I know, I know. But thank you for helping me." Clovis waved his hand while staggering to another room.

Rin was completely helpless. On the one hand, Clovis’ action was something she could criticize. On the other hand, she knew it was for the team and it was Clovis’ way of keeping up with the team.

After getting accepted, she had learned a lot of things about the Libation Fiesta, such as the Another World Mall. She also learned about Clovis’ real absorption rate.

It was amazing that such a person was able to progress this fast, and the answer was the food. And that restriction had become even stricter because of Mara forbidding him from consuming essence other than five types of essence for his growth.

Of course, there was also a bribe from Clovis. It was none other than the spa treatment. Who could resist becoming more beautiful?

Clovis came to the living room while asking, "Kanaria. You will be coming with me to meet the president later. Tell Rena that I am able to visit anytime next week."

"Okay." Kanaria nodded. She knew that Clovis had brought her simply because she was in charge of the reconstruction.

"By the way, Melody, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be with Dante?" Clovis raised his eyebrows.

"It is fine." Melody shook her head. "Should I tag along tomorrow?"

"..." Clovis was dumbfounded. Even the others looked as if they were seeing a ghost.

"Are you... really Melody?" Kanaria asked in shock.

"Are you sick? Let me ask Rin to get you some porridge. Hurry up and change your clothes and warm yourself up." Christina looked at her with pity.

Meanwhile, Ragna was already walking away.

"I am Melody! I’m not sick or anything. And Ragna, you stop right here. Don’t you dare call Luci! Is it wrong that I spend time with you guys?"

"Yes." All of them answered in unison.

"You all..." Melody’s eyebrows twitched. She wanted to release her anger, but she ended up snorting while saying, "Dante got a game buddy."

"..." They fell silent for a while. Only Kanaria was daring to ask a question. "Man or woman?"

"You already know the answer." Melody clicked her tongue. "I have been investigating whether this woman is approaching Dante simply because I’m a part of you guys or not."

"I will ask my great-grandma right away. Eh, wait. I don’t have her number." Clovis sighed.

"Looks like I have to sacrifice one of the burner phones." Kanaria stood up as if she wanted to grab a burner phone.

"You guys stop!" Melody was completely overwhelmed by their actions, fully aware that these guys were joking. "Rather than me, what about you, Clovis? Since you don’t have your great-grandmother’s number, how do you expect to get the clues?"

"As for that..." Clovis wanted to say that he was just waiting, but it didn’t seem he had to wait because Reolf suddenly entered the room.

"Woof!" Reolf barked. Clovis completely understood what he was trying to say. It looked like they got a visitor.
