The Last Primal

Chapter 649 - 649 - Shocking Changes

The silhouette continued to alter its shape, growing taller and bulkier with each passing instant! At first, its shape took on a similar rough form as the newly born Aiden's Saurian Captains, but the changes didn't stop there!

It kept on growing, Tak soon could easily tower over his new brethren, reaching a head extra… then more! Eventually reaching a massive, bulky frame, a humongous creature's hazy silhouette was beginning to draw out! 

With a height that was around twice the size of its kin, the reborn Tak was like a hulking giant of the musclebound creature standing and peering over a group of small fragile weaklings.

The hulking beast looked to be topping somewhere at around 5 meters, with at least a 2-meter width of brawny shoulders to support his new visage. A tail just as large and wide slithered with visible excitement on the dusty floor. Two oversized arms, now acting more as fore legs supported the creature's frame, as it seemed to be standing in a kneeling position on its hind legs.

Elongated, long head shape, reminiscent of crocodiles or alligators held his giant golden eyes that rested deeply in their fist-sized deep sockets.

As the luster of golden light gradually faded, a creature with surprisingly dark purple and dark brown gradient thick scales stood in front of Aiden and his group of captains, shocking them all in an equal manner.

Just like his captains, even Aiden was shocked, or more precisely baffled at the astounding transformation, this unexpected evolution, Tak the Guard Captain has gone under.

Though he wasn't measly, he was still normal in terms of how these mostly small, gnome-sized reptilian creatures have looked! Now, he looks like an absolute giant when compared to them, a fearsome, terrifying humungous monster that could only remain hidden in the alleyway because of the multi-story tavern covering it up, albeit barely.

Yet, his shock mixed with surprise and an equal amount of confusion soon soured with a hint of reality as it transformed into worry and a growing tinge of frustration. 

How would Tak now return to his duties and act as if nothing happened? Looking like this massive predatory, feral-looking version of lizardkin, Aiden's original plan of subterfuge would be now doomed to fail! What should he do?

He also couldn't afford to have Tak remain with them, or go to his new home, Haven. His old peers and the church priests would take note of his sudden departure, and most likely send a team of experts to investigate!

Knowing that his last known location was in the outer slum districts, a bunch of Elite Temple Guard Soldiers would soon swarm the district, making Aiden's quest and overall goal impossible to complete. 

He also couldn't just then decide to take the initiative and charge at the front gates like a madman. Besides not knowing the overall strength of the enemy, making him basically walk in the dark, he would also endanger the captives he was supposed to rescue!

Yet, what should he do now? Aiden was once again burdened with newfound worries, clueless and confused about the next steps he should take.

Just as he was about to fall into his self-created pit of despair, and falter under his own newly formed problems, the soothing mature voice of his System's Guide, Enya rang out in his mind.

'[Do not be overcome with such baseless worries, my de-… -Aiden.]' She spoke, stuttering at the end for a moment before fixing her phrasing lest the system's wrath would be cast upon her once again. '[Before you fall into complete despair, and lose your hope, be sure to check each and every new minion of yours. You might be pleasantly surprised!]'

Madam Dara, now reborn as a part of Aiden's growing family, seems to have mostly retained his original race, albeit it was vastly altered. Aiden's infusion of his own essence made her be reborn with even more accentuated draconic traits. Surprisingly though, a hint of demonic strain has been added or more precisely revealed. Perhaps an old family inheritance, as even with the infusion of Aiden's vastly superior Soul Power it couldn't claim dominance but just slightly altered her outlook to be even more seductive, alluring. Still, whilst for now, it didn't seem to add any unexpected ability into the mix, well besides the unexpected magical awakening and the slightly grotesque schools she had an affinity towards… in the end, she was just as she would have expected: An expert assassin, and maybe even a potential spy-slash-scout in the future.

Next, he looked at Lady Pyre's details, which turned into exactly what Aiden expected already.

After the infusion of Aiden's [Soul Power], his own essence, Lady Pyre has been reborn as a terrifying spellcaster with incredibly potent and more importantly, HIGHLY destructive spells to boot. Her Mastery of Fire has reached the threshold, level 10, meaning that with a bit of training and push, she may even evolve the skill to its next stage, whatever that may be!

Also, as he looked at the second minion sheet, Aiden couldn't help but frown as he noticed that both ladies had both Soul Power and some amount of Mana as well. What did that even mean? Shouldn't the two be incompatible with each other, having a violent reaction when coming in contact with the other?

Sensing his confusion, Enya swiftly came to the rescue again and spoke in his host's mind with her usual gentleness.

'[Their remaining mana are the crystallized remnants residing in their own cores. Their evolution did not completely transform it into its higher form. Still, it is not an issue as currently that resource is sealed, they could not use it. With proper guidance from you and a couple of sessions of meditation they could gradually convert it into Soul Power on their own, thus unlocking their full potential.]'

Heaving a sigh, he turned his gaze over to Tak, only to be shocked by what greeted him…
