Chapter 247: Evolution and Discoveries

Amon's eyes remained in that form for a few more seconds before he closed them and they returned to their usual honey color.

"Amon, how do you feel?" Barbara asked softly.

Hearing her question, Amon looked at her as he replied, "I feel incredible."

He certainly seemed to feel that way, as if the benefits he had received were very good this time.

"Can you tell us if you've reached Level 2 of the Innate Rank?" Mabel asked.

Amon calmly nodded, "Uh, I did, and I already merged a spellbook with my Genetic Factor."

"Already?!" Mabel showed disbelief.

She herself had not been able to do that yet, even though she had a spellbook that she could use. It was too risky to use it without someone to support it or a special room to assist in the merging.

Julia gently held Amon's arm, seeking to understand what had happened to his eyes.

"Is the fact that your eyes have taken a different form related to the spellbook you merged, Amon?" she asked, looking up at him.

Amon looked away for a moment before looking back at her and replying, "You could say that."

His answer was not very enlightening, but it was enough to confirm Julia's and the others' suspicion about the relationship between the spellbook merging and the change in Amon's eyes. However, it seemed that he was not willing to share more details about the matter at the moment.

However, Amon was not sure how special this new ability he had acquired was. Since he received the evolution of his spellbooks from a mysterious person, he managed to merge this one with his second Genetic Factor. However, he still did not know exactly what these eyes with the form of a plus sign (+) and a red line in the center could do for him. Although he had valuable information, Amon had not yet tested his new ability and did not know what the outcome would be.

Julia noticed Amon's hesitation and decided not to press him further on the subject. Instead, she changed the subject.

"What about your control over lightning? Has it also improved?" she asked curiously.

Amon nodded and smiled slightly, "Yes, I feel like I can control the electrical energy around me better now."

The girls were impressed with how quickly Amon had progressed, but at the same time, they were happy for him. Amon deserved all the benefits he had achieved, especially after the effort he had put into his meditations.

"You must be tired, Amon. You need to rest," Ariel suggested, noticing the exhaustion in his eyes.

Amon agreed and made a brief bow. "Thank you all for helping me," he said.

Although he didn't say much at the moment, it was possible to see the gratitude he felt and transmitted with his gaze.

With that, he walked away and headed to take a shower before going to sleep. The girls stayed there, talking and reflecting on what they had seen and heard...

══════『🧬』══════

The girls felt a ravaging hunger after so long without eating, which was compounded by the energy they had spent during the battle against the beast. Maisa suggested they eat the beast's meat, which made some of them wrinkle their noses in disgust. However, Mabel noticed the healing property of the beast and defended the idea.

"I think it's a good idea," she said.

Julia was curious and asked Mabel, "Why?"

Mabel explained, "Do you remember the healing power of the beast?"

The girls agreed that if the meat had any beneficial properties for them, it wouldn't be a bad idea to consume it.

Ariel shared her opinion, "It's not like we can preserve the meat for long, so it's better to eat it now before it loses its properties."

After analyzing and inspecting the beast's meat, everyone agreed that there was no problem in eating it. Moreover, the idea of maximizing the available resources to ensure they strengthened themselves, even if there was only a small chance of any major benefit, was a prudent decision.

Furthermore, the beast's meat also seemed to be a great source of food, as the girls were famished after spending so much energy during the battle. Therefore, they decided to prepare the meat for that night's dinner.

Meanwhile, the little animal they thought had run away a long time ago, named Snowflake, jumped into Julia's lap and began to ask for petting. Julia was happy to see him back and stroked the fluffy animal's fur while asking, "Where have you been Snowflake?"

The little animal seemed happy to be back with its owners and stayed there, enjoying the affection while the girls prepared dinner with the beast meat. It was a pleasant evening, despite the earlier events of the battle.

The young redhead laughed while the other girls chatted. "Mabel, do you think Amon would have defeated the beast more easily?"

Mabel was momentarily taken aback by the question, but soon smiled and replied, "Well, I can't deny that there is that possibility, especially considering that he was able to merge his Genetic Factor with the spell books."

The other girls - Ariel, Maisa, and Julia - agreed with Mabel's answer.

Meanwhile, Amon, who had fallen asleep, woke up two hours later, just before dinner was ready. He woke up smelling something like roasting meat? No, that was definitely what he smelled.

"Good evening." Amon approached while yawning. Since he had been sleeping just a moment prior, his black hair was messy, and his honey-colored eyes were narrower.

Amon woke up to the aroma of food and the feeling of a girl's lips on his own. Barbara was the first to arrive, teasing him as she greeted him. She walked with elegance, like a hummingbird in search of nectar, and kissed his lips, leaving him smiling and satisfied.

"Good evening, sleepyhead~" Barbara whispered in his ear.

Maisa followed Barbara's example and approached Amon, giving him a kiss too.

"Lovely evening," she said with a smile.

Julia laughed at the girls' playfulness and also wanted to join in, approaching Amon and giving him a kiss on his lips.

Mabel watched the scene with a mix of surprise and confusion. Amon had just woken up and was already surrounded by three beautiful girls, each giving him a kiss on his lips. She didn't know whether to laugh or be worried about the situation.

As Barbara, Maisa, and Julia stepped away, still smiling and looking satisfied, Mabel approached Amon with a look of disapproval.

Mabel sighed, still a little taken aback, but then smiled. "Well, you're a lucky guy, Amon. To have three beautiful girls wanting to kiss you out of nowhere..."

"Hehehe~" Maisa laughed with a touch of embarrassment, "She said we're beautiful girls."

"Well, that's what we are, right?" Julia leaned on Maisa's shoulder.

Barbara nodded. If they weren't, why would people steal so many glances wherever they went?
