…

"Kekekeke… HAHAHAHAHA! FINALLY! I FINALLY EVOLVED! I CAN BEAT THAT ELVEN BITCH!" I shouted before standing up and then suddenly seeing my reflection in the pool of blood below.

My eyes were finally normal… kind of.

Instead of the X and ring shape around my pupils, I now had regular eyes with pupils that were like that of a reptile.

They were slim, cool, and dangerous, and on top of my new eyes, I noticed my feathery wings had turned into a material kind of like black and white dragon scales.

Despite how they looked, they weren't clunky and surprisingly more nimble than my feathery wings.

Two large horns protruded from my head, something much more winding and badass than the slim and pointy ones that I had before.

"Fun…" I muttered and then checked my body, but nothing else had really changed… well, my hair was actually completely pitch black, but that was it.

Same tattoos, same body, maybe a few centimeters taller… but so much more power.

I could feel all the power practically overflowing through my veins, and I was dying to test it out.

"Wait… where did that claw go?" I muttered, but all of a sudden, my pale right hand switched into something like a large draconic claw, at least double the size of my original hand.

I touched it, twisted it, moved it, and it all felt natural to me.

And when I thought of it returning to normal, it eventually returned to normal… how very useful, I must say.

"But, what is the point of this? It makes me a bit stronger, but I'd rather be using my scythe," I muttered before summoning a pot of darkness in my hand.

It slowly molded into black flames, which erupted into my scythe, singing and searing the surroundings.

"*sigh*... Seems you haven't changed," I muttered before slowly swinging it around, trying to get used to this new strength and speed.

There were also these new skills that I acquired… but I have something much more important to attend to.

…

(Ysal POV)

"Hey, have you seen Arpious? Has she not come back yet?" I asked the empress, who just sat at her desk, unimpressed by my stupid actions.

"Well, you're the one who took in that elven woman, knowing full well how jealous she can get. You have to give both of them attention if you want ahold of them," She replied, slowly fiddling with her pen as she stared at her work in front of her.

"How am I supposed to give her attention if I can't find her?"

"Didn't you send some people into the forest? Knowing Arpious, she should be making tons of noise by now, and if your scouts are that incompetent, then I can't do anything about it… well, maybe she's already dead,"

"That's not possible. I would sense it," I replied with a stupid expression that the empress' proceeded to mock.

"Yeah, yeah… now get out of here. Her disappearance doesn't have anything to do with me, so leave me to my own work,"

"Fine…" I muttered before quickly leaving the room.

The elven queen who was waiting outside quickly followed me, her mature and almost noble presence sending a chill down my spine.

"Forgive me. It's all my fault," The elven queen apologized.

"No need to apologize without any actual remorse behind it. You'll just piss me off more… anyway, where is the succubus?" I asked.

"She is currently sparring with some of the knights downstairs… and of course, she's winning. Many people are trying to stop her from killing as well, so please don't worry about that,"

"*sigh*... That's good, I guess-"

CRASH

All of a sudden, the window next to us burst open as a dark and shadowy figure entered the hallway, immediately grabbing the elven queen by the throat.

"SHIT!" I shouted and then shot a beam of light at the figure, only for it to dodge with ease.

Wait…

"Son of a bitch…." The elven queen muttered as she summoned a sword of green light and stabbed it directly into the figure's back.

But, even then, the figure didn't let go.

"Wait! Don't stab her again!" I shouted, distracting the queen and allowing the figure to slam her head into the wall, somehow immediately knocking her out.

All of a sudden, the figure turned towards me with bloodthirsty eyes and lunged at me, only for her to shout,

"Ysal~! I finally found you!" Arpious shouted as she jumped into my embrace, immediately knocking me onto my ass.

As I fell backward, Arpious snuggled into my collar bone, her horns scratching my face as she acted all cute.

"W-Where did you go? Do you know how long we've been searching for you?!" I shouted, and Arpious looked down, a bit sad by my scolding.

"You… You did come to find me?"

Or, I guess not by my scolding? Is she moved by my words? Did she really think I abandoned her?

"How deep did you bury yourself in the forest of darkness?!" I exclaimed as the elven queen slowly woke up, appearing right behind Arpious with powerful glaring eyes.

"Not too far… but look! I evolved!" Arpious shouted before standing straight up, clocking the elven queen straight in the chin, knocking her out once again.

As she slowly fell back like a toppling tower, Arpious gave me a little spin, displaying her torn-up dress but, more importantly, her new form.

"Wow… you kind of look like a dragon," I muttered as her wings looked like dragon scales, and her horns were pretty similar to mine when I'm in my dragon form.

"My evolution is the Princess of Monsters… pretty good, right?" She smirked with a smug look, her eyebrows bouncing up and down as she was clearly proud of herself.

"I've never heard of that… but you do feel much more powerful. You were even able to overwhelm the elven queen…."
