Luna and Liora were shocked the moment they saw what Lucius had done. The materials that were around were being absorbed by something unseen until they were dried.

    The flame foxes also suddenly felt something as they suddenly began to change. Their body and fur began to become redder and bigger and also, at the same time, hotter.

    But still, this process was a fast evolution; the flame foxes immediately felt intense pain that made them screaming.

    Lucius frowned after hearing it and immediately told the system, "System, hack them to be in sleep mode while evolving."

    [Resources Required: 100 Sleep Mode Points.]

    [Cost Deducted: 100 Points.]

    ---

    The flame foxes then immediately went to sleep and the room went back to its peaceful state and Lucius only sat calmly in his chair.

    Luna and Liora could not say anything, as the events that were in front of them were too much for them to comprehend.

    Soon the evolution of the flame foxes had finished as they began to wake up from their deep sleep and Lucius smirked as he saw their data.

    Lucius was a bit surprised after seeing the third option. "It seems that because she was tamed by Luna, who is a moon goddess, this option appeared."

    Lucius then looked at the price and was a bit surprised as to how expensive it was. "Although it is expensive, my life is still better than these points."

    Lucius then looked at Liora and immediately warned her, "I will now evolve you but you will feel intense pain. Endure it, and you''ll become stronger than you ever thought possible."

    Liora didn''t falter and immediately stood straight. "I''m ready, Master. Please do what you must. Whatever it takes, I''ll endure it for you."

    Lucius then smiled and immediately told the system, "System, hack her to evolve into a 2-Star Lunar Beastman. And while you''re at it, integrate a hidden aura to mask the evolution. We don''t need unnecessary attention."

    [Initiating Hack: Evolution to Lunar Beastman (Lion) Commencing.]

    [Initiating Hack: Hidden Aura Integration]

    [Resources Required: 100,000 Evolution Points + 100,000 Hidden Aura Points.]

    [Total Cost Deducted: 200,000 Points.]

    ---

    Lucius frowned again as the price had been doubled because of the added option. "Expensive, but worth it. The hidden aura will ensure no one suspects a thing."

    Suddenly, Liora, who didn''t feel anything at first, immediately stiffened her body as she felt an intense pain appearing in her body.

    Her body didn''t change much but instead it was her essence that changed so much. Because of it, she immediately hugged her stomach while enduring the pain.

    Luna, who stood nearby, immediately looked worried as he turned toward Lucius. "Master, will she be okay?"

    Lucius didn''t turn toward Luna and only said, "She will be fine. This is the price of evolution and she will be stronger if she endures it."

    Liora then suddenly screamed loudly as her body began to shine. Fortunately, his room was quite soundproof, so no one would hear her.

    Soon enough, her evolution had ended as her scream stopped and also her light had disappeared from her body.

    She didn''t change much from before but there were definitely some changes that happened on the inside.

    "Let''s see just how powerful you are now, Liora." Lucius then immediately scanned her data to see how she was now.
