It was night.
Inside Tide Sis's guest room.
Ling An had returned to his true form and stood in silence.
Before him, Tide Sis admired his evolved body with a radiant smile.
Having incorporated some of the Glacio Rider's features, Ling An looked slightly different from before.
His body had become somewhat more fearsome. Besides the armor-like exoskeleton covering parts of him, red markings had appeared.
These were the changes brought about by his advancement to the Tacet Discord class.
Of course, the most distinctive change was his aura.
Even standing motionless, he now radiated an oppressive pressure.
If an ordinary person faced his true form, they probably would not even have the nerve to raise a blade.
They would only dare turn and flee.
This was suppression born of a difference in the very level of their existence.
Of course, Tide Sis was an exception.
To Ling An, she seemed to be admiring an exquisitely crafted figurine.
If circumstances had allowed it, Tide Sis might well have wanted to put him in a glass display case like one.
"Just as I thought. After devouring the Glacio Rider, you've become even more attractive." Tide Sis raised her head, her gaze burning.
She quietly savored the aura Ling An released, a flush spreading across her cheeks.
"Attractive, huh..."
Ling An had no response. Only Tide Sis could regard the oppressive aura he used to drive off petty troublemakers as attractive.
Fortunately, he had already witnessed her oddities and was now used to them.
"This body... I can feel its vigorous power, as if it's about to break through its restraints and burst free..."
Tide Sis tapped here and prodded there, her voice full of admiration.
Ling An extended an arm and clenched his fist.
Indeed, he was supremely confident now.
