Chapter 520: The Growth(1)

Suddenly Lily had a movement.

Lily’s eyelids moved, and not long after, they flew wide open.

“Eh!” Lily exclaimed in surprise as she found too big of a change in herself.

During the breakthrough phase, Lily was in a deep sleep, meaning that she had no idea of how long she was sleeping or what changes did she have during the slumber of more than one hundred and fifty years.

“What happened to me?” Lily couldn’t help but ask herself since she hadn’t even noticed her surroundings, seeing the amount of change she had gone through in just a second.

Soon the memory started coming back to her as she remembered how she had cried in Aakesh’s hands after meeting him, and then Lily had gotten so tired that she had fallen asleep. And she had woken up now.

Remembering the memory, Lily hurriedly turned around to check whether meeting Aakesh was a dream she had in her sleep. She then heaved a sigh of relief when she noticed Aakesh looking at her with an excited and gentle expression on his face.

“How do you feel?” Aakesh smilingly asked Lily, seeing her turning around.

“I feel uncomfortable,” Lily answered and jumped on Aakesh’s head since she felt that she had been in a deep sleep for too long, and she wanted to feel at home by returning to her favorite place. It then resulted in a weird scene since Lily was much bigger than his head in size.

Aakesh could only smile wryly, but he didn’t stop her since he knew how much she loved his head.

At the same time, Lily didn’t find Aakesh’s head comfortable for the first time, so she couldn’t help but get angry with herself for growing this big in size.

“Do you feel very uncomfortable?” Aakesh asked as he could feel Lily squirming in her head to get in a comfortable posture to sit.

“Yes, I am too big,” Lily answered while still trying to get in a comfortable posture. Her tone contained nothing but disappointment and a slight hint of anger.

“Forget about it for a second. How do you feel about your breakthrough?” Aakesh asked since he wanted to know how much she had changed after the breakthrough.

Lily ignored Aakesh’s question since her first priority was to get into a comfortable posture. She wanted to reduce her size like Autumn could since she didn’t want to let go of her favorite place, but unfortunately, she didn’t have the skill. She was only thinking about it when suddenly a way to get tiny appeared in her head.

It was one of the skills she had gained after the breakthrough.

[Skill name: Anima,

Level: Level 1,

Ability: The skill allows the owner to reduce their size up to one-tenth,

Condition for Growth: Bloodline Growth or finding the knowledge of Level 2 skill.]

Lily got the complete information about the skill in her head.

An excited expression appeared on her face as she activated the skill Anima, and soon, her size started decreasing.

Since the skill was only Level 1, she could only reduce her body size up to one-tenth, but fortunately for Lily, it was more than enough. She didn’t even have to use it to its full extent since, after reducing her size by one-sixth, Lily returned to her previous stature.

Lily still looked big since her fur was now much larger. But since she had now more than enough space to sit comfortably on her throne(Aakesh’s bun), she didn’t feel uncomfortable and returned to her usual posture.

Aakesh only felt surprised for a second since the skill, Anima, was a regular occurrence in the higher-level creatures. Even he could learn it if he wanted from Autumn or Katrina, but since Aakesh had no interest in it, he didn’t ask them to teach him the knowledge.

“Are you feeling better now?” Aakesh then asked Lily, who had stopped squirming.

“Yes, I feel much better now,” Lily answered in her childlike voice. Her tone had returned to normal since her first priority was now fulfilled.

“Good,” Aakesh commented as he felt better when Lily felt better.

A few seconds earlier,

“Hmm, the bloodline of your ancestor had quite a change after this breakthrough,” Katrina commented while looking at Lily, jumping on Aakesh’s head.

“Yeah, the bloodline feels familiar but not with the same intensity as it previously did,” Autumn nodded and responded with a surprised expression on her face.

Autumn could now feel that the Aakesh’s bloodline she felt in her ancestor earlier was now at even a higher rate. She could see that her ancestor now belonged to the Epochal Feline race as much as she belonged to the unknown race from which Aakesh was.

If she were to use a term to define Lily’s race, it would be the ‘Perfect Hybrid’ since she had never seen a creature with the same ratio of the bloodline of two different races from which they came.

“Her strength had also grown by a large margin,” Katrina commented as she could see that Lily was now several times stronger than when she first saw her traveling with Autumn.

“Both of them are monsters,” Autumn commented in response to Katrina’s statement.

“Ooh, I am itching to see how much she would struggle if I were to force my pressure on her,” Katrina suddenly commented and licked her lips in anticipation.

“Don’t,” Autumn rebuked Katrina straight away since she was not only her ancestor, but she had also seen just how much Aakesh cared for her.

Even if she and Aakesh combined their strengths, they wouldn’t be able to defeat her. But one thing was sure after that they would lose all their hopes of leaving the Conspiracy continent and entering a new world since Aakesh was the strongest of the lot that had appeared on the continent.

During the time they had spent training with Aakesh, Aakesh had not only trained but had also informed them of several things about the outer world and its power distribution.

Katrina and Autumn were aware that they would be the strongest if they entered the Primal dimension, but there were already three dimensions above it. They wouldn’t be any respected figure if they appeared in the Sacred dimension, let alone the dimension above it.

“I was just joking,” Katrina smilingly replied soon away.
