Chapter 259 New Evolution
A few minutes passed, and my mind felt hazy, so I immediately answered.
[Would you like to evolve?]
[Yes] [No]
Yes…
My entire consciousness seemed to slip away, but at the same time, I was conscious. It was strange. Like a lucid dream, but all you could see was darkness.
Suddenly, a strange beeping sound appeared out of nowhere, and 3 panels filled my screen.
[Select Evolution]
…
[Cursed and Blessed Lammasu of Ancient Fires]
[Predator of Devils]
[10 Faced Devourer of Demons]
…
Oh, these are much different from my previous ones… I guess I should [Inspect] them first like always.
[Inspect]... [Inspect]... [Inspect]... What? Why isn\'t it working?
Status.
Nothing opened, and the panels in front of me continued to float as if they were riding the calm waves of an ocean.
[Interference by higher being]
[System has tried to patch the hole]
[System has discovered no hole]
[Interference by higher being]
[Requests have been rejected]
[Requests have been rejected]
[Requests have been banned for the next 24 hours]
[System dives deeper to find the hole]
[No hole has been found]
[System will commence extermina-
The last panel remained incomplete, and it seemed to look like a glitch you would see in very old video games. Like the ones, you\'d see in old-school arcades.
Thankfully, none of the evolution choices disappeared, and just to make sure, I inspected the evolution choices again, but to no surprise, nothing popped up like last time.
I guess I have to go with my gut instinct again…
Okay, it\'s not like I don\'t have any information… First, we have [Cursed and Blessed Lammasu of Ancient Fires], which I assume will let me use cursings, blessings, and both of my ancient fires and most likely a power boost on top of that.
I don\'t really think my ancient fires can evolve anymore, but I think they\'ll receive a buff… In fact, this evolution choice kinda sucks going off of what I can brainstorm.
Basically, it\'s just a slight power boost.
Now, the next one… [Predator of Devils]... Yeah, I honestly have no idea what this evolution might contain besides some bloodthirsty skills, which I don\'t mind adding to my reservoir… But of course, that\'s all speculation, and my gut feeling are telling me to go with this one.
And finally, [10 Faced Devourer of Demons].
This one gives me the opposite feeling of [Predator of Devils]... I get a bad feeling… Like really, really bad, and I\'m assuming this evolution is due to my inner demons, which you can count as split personalities… In fact, that\'s exactly what it is.
Now, the skills that might come with this consist of maybe forcefully bringing out my other personalities, otherwise known as inner demons… which I honestly don\'t want cause that means they\'d most likely be able to bring themselves out, by themselves, much easier.
System? Are you gonna tell me anything more, or are you just gonna stay glitched? Helloooooo… Okay, I guess I\'ll just go with my gut feeling.
[Predator of Devils selected]
[Would you like to evolve?]
[Yes] [No]
Yes…
And my full consciousness slipped out of my grasp.
…
[Day 88]
[Congratulations on evolving into Predator of Devils]
[You have gained the following skills]
[Primordial Bloodlust]
[Predators Scorching Enhancment]
[Predators Assassination Mist]
[Fear Inducing Glare]
[Your body has changed drastically]
[Body Modifications will adjust]
"M-Mistress? Is that you?" I hear a familiar voice say after reading all the notifications that popped up in front of me as soon as I opened my eyes.
It was Ava, and she was still held tightly within my arms as if she was a pillow.
"*sigh*... Hold on, let me see what I look like," I mutter before jumping off the large tree branch and landing next to a small pond just below.
"Mistress, would you like a bath?" Yin asks as I check out my new features.
"Not yet," I respond.
Same long black hair with strands of very dark red hair that almost looked a mahogany brown. The sclera of my eyes was a light gray, and my actual pupils who stayed the same unique shape, were now completely dark red.
My skin was as soft, smooth, and white as ever. My curves increased but were nowhere near as much as my wives who kept teasing me about it in bed.
The wings on my back seemed to have activated upon my evolution and they looked slightly different due to both of them being an eerie pitch black with feathers and on the tips were claws that I couldn\'t control at all.
And finally, the most noticeable part of my body and most significant change were the sharp and crooked dragon horns that protruded from my hairline. They were probably as long as my head and were a dark gray color, just on the borderline of being black.
"Hmmm… They look quite nice," I mutter as I touched them once but didn\'t feel anything.
It was like touching a toenail due to its almost lifeless state.
"At least it\'s not sensitive," I mutter before turning to Hades.
"You look pretty good. If you didn\'t look like a ruler before, you definitely look like one now," Hades chuckles to himself.
Now, let\'s check my status.

"Shit, my stats increased so much… what the hell…" I mutter as I scroll through my status and seeing the newly improved and much less cluttered lower status.
First let\'s open the skill tab-
"Mistress, would you like a bath now?" Yin asks.
"I said not yet," I respond before opening the skill tab.

"Let\'s see… now the body modifications since there was a notification for that… Titles… I can check later since I didn\'t see any notifications for that," I mutter before checking my body modifications tab.
[Body Modifications]
[Great Wings of the Primordial Hunters Descendant] [Cursed and Blessed Tattoos] [Piranhas Spiny Fin Wings] [Bat Wings] [Aquatic Body] [Monster of Monsters Body] [Ice Dragon Wings] [Demon Genocider Bloodline] [Divine Mark] [Divinity Trait: Forbidden Magic]
…
My bloodline and wings changed. My tattoos stayed the same which I already knew from just glancing at my body once… and finally, my wings evolved and my tail disappeared.
"Okay, let\'s head back," I say as I didn\'t want to take a bath in the pond.
"As you wish," My pets say and Hades just shrugging his shoulders before unfurling his wings and flapping up.
…
(Gaurd POV)
It was just like any other regular day. I was patrolling the wall, mingling with my comrades, and shining my sword.
A peaceful life that I preferred over the bloody battlefield that still rings in my mind as if it was branded into my brain.
The nightmares wouldn\'t stop coming so I made a vow to myself that I would never step onto the battlefield again and stay within my parameters of monsters that tried to attack the kingdom.
Fighting beside the queen was honorable and exciting… I was one of the first soldiers she led personally… until we began to fight under the commanders.
They weren\'t that bad but after fighting under the queen, there\'s no way the commanders could meet your expectations.
Their words seemed almost boring compared to the adrenaline spike that the queen gave us just from her shouting a few words.
