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."

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 smirked upon seeing it. "Quite impressive. Their data has grown so much that it has made them even stronger than before. Lady Savra will surely like these Ember Foxes."
Lucius then turned to the shocked Luna and Liora. He then smirked as he showed them the new five ember foxes.
"Now, both of you have seen what I can do, so tell me right now. What do you think of me as your eternal master?" Lucius asked them.
Luna immediately dropped to her knees and cried, "Master! You're incredible, like a god! I have always known that you are unique but this is beyond anything I could have imagined."
Luna also crawled toward him and bowed down, "Master, my devotion to you is absolute. I will follow you to the ends of the earth and beyond."
Lucius chuckled after hearing what Luna said. "Good, you are exactly what you should be now." Lucius then turned to Liora, "How about you?"
Liora only kneeled down and immediately respected Lucius. "Master, I can't deny what I have seen. You really are unique, but tell me, What is your main goal?"
Lucius smirked as he began to explain it to them: "My goals are pretty simple. I just want to be strong enough to live myself in pleasure and I will go as far as I can for that."
Liora immediately nodded as she answered, "Understand, Master. If that is your will, I will fight for you. But still, I want to remind you that although you are unique, you are weak."
Lucius only chuckled after hearing it and walked toward Liora. "True enough, but now you are mine, Liora, so it's your duty to protect me. In return, I'll make you stronger than you ever imagined."
Liora immediately smirked upon hearing it and kneeled down. "I understand, Master. I will make sure that you are safe."
Lucius only smirked upon hearing and soon remembered something. "Since we're on the subject of strength, let's not waste time anymore. Liora, you are no different from a beast so it is time to evolve you."
Liora's smirk became wider as she was excited. "I have been waiting for this, Master. I'll become whatever you want me to be."
Lucius then immediately smirked as he asked the system, "List me the evolution list available for Liora."

[2-Star Ice Beastman (Lion): 10.000 HP]
[2-Star Lunar Beastman (Lion): 100.000 HP]

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."

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.
