Lucius was now standing in front of Luna and Liora. Lucius decided to tell them that he was not going to be too cautious anymore.
The experiment earlier had reminded Lucius about the fact of this world where the strong rule and the weak could only serve or die.
Lucius then looked at them and said, "Liora and Luna, I decide that I will not hide to be cautious anymore. The real world is fierce so it is time to rapidly grow stronger."
Lucius also continued to explain why he had changed: "Even with the Volcaria family's backing, we are far from untouchable. There are those who possess beasts at the 3-Star level, even at my age."
Lucius then began to explain about it: "It was because for the tamers, the level of the beast was what mattered the most. A beast's power directly determines the master's status."
Lucius then stepped closer to Liora as he glared at them, "I have decided that we don't need to be so cautious anymore. I want us to grow stronger faster than before."
Lucius then looked at Liora and asked, "And because of it, I want to ask you, Liora. Do you want to evolve into a 3-Star Beast now?"
Liora, who heard what Lucius said, didn't hesitate and immediately kneeled and answered, "Yes, Master. I want to evolve. I want to become stronger for you."
Lucius smiled after hearing it and put his hand on her shoulder. "Good. I am happy that you have also realized what we need to do."
Lucius then turned into the system and immediately asked it, "System, show me the evolution list that was available for Liora."

[3-Star Lunar Beastman (Lion): 1.000.000 HP]

Lucius was now frowning as he looked at the cost. "Liora was now a Lunar Beastman. If I change the evolution line below, then she will be weaker."
Lucius then looked at his remaining hacking points and said, "Fortunately, I still have 4,000,000 hack points left so I could use them to evolve her."
He then turned back at Liora and said, "I will evolve you into a 3-Star Lunar Beastman, but I need to remind you that this will not be an easy process as it was a forced evolution and it is painful, so you have to endure it."
Liora looked at Lucius and nodded. "I will endure it, Master. Whatever it takes, I will become stronger for you, as I am your tamed beast and have swore loyalty to you."
Lucius smiled after hearing it and turned back to the system. "Begin her evolution into 3-Star Lunar Beastman and also integrate a hidden aura to conceal her strength."

The system then began its work as Liora's body began to transform. Liora immediately gritted her teeth as she tried to endure the pain of evolution.
Liora then collapsed to the ground as her muscles tensed and also her claws began to dig into the stone floor as she tried to stay conscious.
Luna, who stood near her, didn't feel any concern for Liora, as she knew that Liora would withstand this and become stronger than before.
The process lasted several minutes and soon the evolution had finished as Liora's aura began to become stronger than before, although she looked the same as before.
Lucius then stepped forward as he began to scan Liora to see just how powerful Liora was now and soon the new stats appeared before him.

Lucius soon smirked as he began to read the status. "Quite impressive. You are stronger than ever, Liora. Your power had become stronger by ten times."
Liora soon smiled and stood up. "Thank you, Master, for giving me all of this new power. I will not let you down anymore."
Lucius then smiled as he immediately told Liora, "Stabilize your strength first, as you have just reached 3-Star."
Liora bowed her head. "Yes, Master." And as soon as Liora began to stabilize her power, Luna immediately bowed and stepped forward.
Luna then asked, "Master Lucius, if Liora is now a 3-Star beast, doesn't that mean I, who is her tamer, can now become a 3-Star Tamer as well?
Lucius then turned toward Luna and smirked, "Indeed, you are her tamer after all and tamer's level will increase when the beast level increases, so you can start to stabilize your power so you can become a 3-Star tamer."
Luna immediately bowed and smiled, "Of course, Master. I will prove that I am worthy by becoming a 3-Star tamer as well."
Lucius soon observed both of them as they began. Lucius then turned toward the system, "Hack them. Stabilize their power instantly."

The system then did its work and immediately stabilized the energy of Liora and Luna. Their energies that were fluctuating for a moment immediately became steady.
Liora and Luna soon opened their eyes. They were surprised that their energies were immediately stabilized. They immediately saw Lucius' smirk and immediately knew that this was because of him.
Liora kneeled down and Luna also kneeled but her gaze was at Lucius and she said, "That was fast. Thank you for the help, Master."
Lucius only smirked and said, "No problem. Let's get into the next instruction. Now that your strength is stabilized, I want to ask both of you something."
Lucius then began to explain what they needed to do to become stronger so they could be help for him.
