Chapter 267 Tier 7



After finishing their talk with Himeko, everyone else returned to their rooms. They finally had the chance to evolve as well as spend their attribute points. However, Clara hadn't woken up yet which was slightly concerning, so they laid her on the bed to let her rest.

"Finally we have a chance to actually use all the points we have built up." Shaman let herself fall onto the bed next to Clara while opening the system menu.

[Do you wish to evolve?]

[Yes/No]

As per usual they had more than enough cores from the monsters they had killed for the evolution and it was just a matter of pressing a button.

"Hopefully no one comes to disturb us, it would be quite hard to explain why we are all in an egg." Elysia imagined room service appearing and walking in on such a scene.

"Surely not." Shaman didn't think that would happen as their rooms should have already been attended to beforehand.

"Anyway, Rea? Can you start Clara's evolution for her?" Shaman figured it might be beneficial for Clara to go through the evolution since it fully rejuvenates the body.

[Sure can.] It was no problem since Rea was responsible for authorising it in the first place. So without further ado, Clara was encased in an egg, beginning her evolution.

"Guess we can begin as well." Shaman pressed yes on the evolution menu and her vision turned black.

***

<8 hours later>

It was very early morning and the eggs were on the verge of cracking. After a couple more shakes, Shaman finally broke through the outer shell. As per usual she began to eat the shell, enjoying the sweet taste of its hard exterior.

[Level 350 -> 380]

The room was still pitch black as the sun hadn't come up from the horizon yet.

'Damn, I woke up early.' Shaman looked over to Clara and Elysia who hadn't finished with their evolution. In the meantime, Shaman decided to enter the bathroom to see if her looks changed at all.

Turning on the light, she looked in the mirror to see not much had changed. It was definitely an improvement as she felt like she was nearing that goddess level of looks. She was only approaching 19, at least assuming her birthday hadn't passed yet, which was crazy for her to think about.

"Oh well, age doesn't really matter to me anymore, plus I look like I am in my mid-20s now." Doing a small spin in front of the mirror, it was hard for her to imagine herself looking the way she did back when she first arrived in this world. It felt so childlike when she thought back and made her really realise how much of a difference it is having a refined body.

"Also these 7 tails are starting to become more of a nuisance, at least they would be a good pillow." Shaman wagged her tails which had increasingly become bigger and fluffier. It was easy to see that it wouldn't fit in any tight spots as well as being a danger to any valuables on the wall.

It was hard to consciously know where her tails were positioned so Shaman saw herself knocking over a bunch of things in the hallway.

*Crack*

Hearing the slight noise of an egg cracking, Shaman quickly returned to the bedroom to see Elysia coming out of her egg.

By this point, the sun was finally showing itself providing some light and allowing Shaman to check whether Elysia had changed at all.

"Still beautiful as always." Shaman couldn't spot any major differences seemingly following Shaman's precedent.

"Hmm?" Elysia turned her head with a piece of egg in her mouth which was adorable.

"Hey~." Shaman walked closer to Elysia as she picked another piece of her own egg she has yet to finish.

"How long have you been up?" Elysia had started her evolution pretty much a few seconds after Shaman, yet the latter was up way earlier.

"It's only been 5 minutes."

"Oh."

"Has Clara shown any signs of wa-."

*Crack*

Just before Elysia could finish her query, Clara's egg began to make some noise answering Elysia's question.

Waiting patiently for Clara to break out of her egg, Elysia and Shaman sat next to each other finishing off their eggshells.

Clara finally emerged from her shell and much like the other two not much had changed in her appearance.

"Morning sweetie~." Shaman instantly greeted Clara who looked around confused and clearly still half asleep.

"You sure nothing changed Shaman? You are much more flirty with your words than usual." Elysia however, picked up on a small change as it wasn't common for Shaman to use nicknames.

"No? I guess I'm just in that kind of mood." Shaman didn't feel any different, but one thing she noticed was that her feelings toward Elysia and Clara felt stronger. I think you should take a look at

"Oh well, I'm not complaining." Elysia smiled happily since it was a change she would accept any day.

"Hello and what the hell happened?" Clara held her head extremely confused as to how she got to where she was, not to mention how the hell did she manage to get inside an egg.

"Ah that's right, after your fight with Elaina you passed out and we were let go for the rest of the day, so we decided to take the chance to evolve to tier 7. Jane has also started on our new weapons.." Shaman gave a quick briefing on what happened which Clara seemed to understand.

"I see, is there anything else?" Clara aligned the timeline in her head as the last thing she remembered was fighting Elaina.

"Oh we also knocked some sense into Himeko, so hopefully she and Jane will get together." Elysia also dropped the news of the conversation with Himeko which left Clara shocked.

"Wait what? You got through to that dense mother of mine!?!" Clara couldn't believe it, finding it absurd that they managed to pull it off.

"It wasn't that hard, with enough people pestering her she eventually came to realise that Jane has feelings." Shaman didn't want to take too much credit as they had hardly said much and were more of a nudge in the right direction.

"Wow okay, well hopefully everything turns out well." Clara didn't think it would be that easy, but she guessed that Jane had been on the offensive lately so it was easier to notice.

"Anyway, make sure you assign your attribute points, I'll go check on Silver to see if he is awake yet." Shaman also needed to do hers but she was way too curious to see if Silver had added a few years to his age. If the trend continued he now should be at least 18 years old physically.

"Kayyy~ Don't get lost." Elysia laid back down in bed taking advantage of the opportunity to rest some more.

"It's only a few rooms down, I'm not that directionally challenged." Shaman didn't know where the slight jab was coming from as she usually is the one leading.

"You never know what else could have changed. You may look and act hotter, but it may have come at the cost of your spatial awareness." Elysia shrugged while elaborating on her thought process.

"Pfft." Clara couldn't help but chuckle. However, suddenly both Elysia and Clara found themselves… falling?

"AHHH!" Elysia and Clara screamed in unison as they had no idea what happened and all they could see was the ground getting closer, but before they hit the ground they were back on the bed.

"Hmph." Shaman pouted before exiting the room and Elysia realised what just happened.

"Damn it she used her illusion skill." Elysia breathed heavily feeling wide awake now.

"Maybe next time, don't insult her." Clara felt like she was about to have a heart attack especially since she too wasn't quite fully awake.

"Hehehehe." Shaman though was giggling evilly just outside as their reactions were quite funny.

*Phew* 'That was good, now let's assign these points.' Shaman walked down the hallway while assigning her points.

'Over 5,000 points! Let's go, this is going to be a massive upgrade.'

[Attributes]

Unused: 5,340 -> 0

- Vitality: 900 -> 1670

- Agility: 1310 -> 2350

- Intelligence: 1160 -> 2200

- Strength: 1350 -> 2250

- Dexterity: 1260 -> 2200

- Defence: 850 -> 1500

Feeling the rush once again, it almost caused Shaman to trip over her feet as she was enjoying the feeling a little too much. Catching herself and quickly looking around thankfully no one saw her almost fall face first.

Arriving at Silver's room, Shaman stood at the door preparing herself mentally for any drastic changes that may have occurred.

'Surely he is still my cute bubbly wolf boy.' Shaman didn't want to let go of her current image of Silver as he was too cute to not adore. However, if he had changed to look like a grown man now, she didn't know how to cope.

*Sigh* 'Maybe there is a way for Elysia and Clara or even me to have a child. It seems rather commonplace to have same-sex relationships, so maybe there is some magic that allows reproduction without the opposite gender.' It was an interesting thought, but that was something better left for the future when there isn't a potential world-ending threat.

'Arghh enough stalling.' Shaman saw the rabbit hole and now she was just meaninglessly worrying that Silver may no longer look young. Sucking it up, she knocked on the door and shortly after the door opened.

"No way."
