Jason's temperature further decreased, while Scorpio leaped away from him due to the unexpected cold.

Entering his soul world, he gazed at Artemis' hue which looked similar to her previous appearance.

The only difference he immediately noticed was that she grew in size.

However, he wasn't sure how much, as the sizes in the soul world were not necessarily right and without any measurement.

While the temperature around Jason plumbed further, he enveloped himself in a faint layer of flames in order to warm himself up.

Even though Jason awaited Artemis' evolution and arrival, she could have been a little bit more considerate!!

Thinking that he increased the heat of his black origin flame and waited patiently for the snowflakes around Artemis to disappear slowly.

Meanwhile, Scorpio didn´t know where to go, as he didn´t like the cold which caused him to detest entering the soul world as Artemis' evolution decreased the temperature within.

Now with Artemis, plumbing down the temperature around them, a magic circle appeared below Scorpio, as he appeared in the soul world.

Charging as far away from the snowflakes, the temperature within the soul world was more acceptable for it compared to Jason´s surroundings.

Jason noticed that and smiled faintly, without averting his focus from Artemis within the soul world, as a pure white magic circle appeared in front of Jason with the size of 80 centimeters in diameter.

Fully leaving the soul world, Jason gazed shocked at the magic circle with a frown.

`Don´t tell me…` Jason began to think as a gigantic white plumage appeared in front of him, leaving him with a shocked expression.

*Creezch* Was the only thing Jason heard as a wave of emotion overwhelmed him while the pure white plumage attacked him.

Jason knew it was Artemis but he was still shocked to see that not only had her size increased to a length of 1 meter from her tail feather to the head and a wingspan of 3 meters but also her eyes turned glacier-blue while two small pitch-black horns appeared above her eyes shocking him to the core.

Artemis' weight was now probably around 10kg but rather than seeing that as a problem, her plumage was extremely fluffy, suffocating Jason almost.

Laughing out with a radiant smile, he was extremely happy to have Artemis next to him once again, after a whole month passed.

It was a long time and he missed her dearly.

Somehow, however, Jason was disappointed because her evolution was more unspectacular than he previously thought but before the disappointment could spread through his body, he was attacked by a searing pain which suddenly emerged within his whole body, mana core, and even soul world core.

Everything seemed to burn and Jason cried out in pain, causing Artemis to look at him worriedly.

Her evolution took so long because she wanted to take the most efficient way to increase her strength in order to help Jason out in getting stronger, causing her to digest the magical ranked mana core slowly, leading her genetic pool to change, but apparently, that wasn´t well thought out.

Not only had Artemis evolved and amplified her strength, but she also created a more complete mana core in addition to an ice affinity seed within her mana core.

Jason had to fight with the sudden connection of an affinity, that was the complete opposite of his already existing black origin flame, but also with his physique and mana core becoming stronger and enlarging thanks to his soul world´s amplification.

If that was everything, he could endure it easily, but Artemis´ soul energy was much more than he had ever expected.

Right now Jason was forced to enter his soul world because his soul world core was trembling violently because Artemis´ amplification of one-third of her strength caused the soul world core to get overwhelmed.

Holding it together with all his might, Jason´s mind began to burn as his soul world core forcefully increased in size.

Without knowing how much time passed, he was still sitting in his soul world, while Artemis wanted to follow him due to her worry.

But it was impossible because Jason´s soul energy was too low to store her within his soul world, causing her to feel frustrated.

She couldn't do anything to help Jason out which was worse as she saw sweat pearl dropping from his temples.

Wiping them away with her pure white feathered wings was the only thing Artemis could do right now as she waited patiently.

Hours passed and the worry in Artemis' glacier-blue eyes turned even more distinct when she noticed that Jason´s pale face.

He seemed to be in pain and she couldn't do anything to help, rather than that she was the cause of his pain which traumatized her somehow.

Right now, Jason could barely hold the soul world core together in order for it to not shatter, and right after that happened, the soul world core slowly stabilized, causing Jason to sigh in relief.

Unexpectedly his soul energy has increased to 46,7 units, which was an increase of 2.5 folds.

Astonishing enough, Artemis evolved into a peak-awakened beast with a soul energy requirement of 90 units.

Jason wasn't even sure what kind of beast she was except her race being an owl.

She had suddenly gained blue gleaming eyes, two horns on her head appeared and her size tripled.

In addition to all of that, Artemis seemed to have gained a huge amount of infused mana in her blood, turning her even stronger.

Even though her almost complete mana core had only the strength of a peak-awakened beast, Jason could see and feel that she might even be able to fight evolved beasts head-on with her affinity.

'WAIT!' Jason shouted in his head, which felt as if it was mashed. 'She is about to construct an almost complete mana core? How?' Jason bombarded himself with questions and it seemed like Artemis not only digested the core but also used the liquefied mana within the core to slowly establish her own mana core, enhancing it.

'Does that mean feeding Artemis more liquefied mana cores will cause her to meet the requirement as a magical beast?! After a single evolution?!'

He was not sure about this though, but Artemis' evolution was just too chaotic and Jason wasn't sure what to think of her...How was he so fortunate to meet her, and what exactly was her mutation?

Jason didn´t know and his head still burned from the searing pain thanks to the soul world core almost shattering.

Thinking about the possibility to complete Artemis mana core with a few magical beast mana cores seemed just too easy and he told himself to purchase a few magical ranked mana cores solely for the purpose to feed them Artemis.

His soul world was still ravaging and when it ended, Jason left the soul world, where he could immediately notice Artemis looking at him with a gloomy and distressed expression.

Jason felt her emotions but rather than being angry with her, he felt overjoyed that Artemis evolved into such a gorgeous existence which he showed her.

The amplification he received from Artemis was still not complete, because his soul energy was not enough, but it was still much more than he thought.

Thanks to her shared strength, Jason´s mana core size and physique had reached the 5th Adept rank with quite a bit of surplus.

Artemis leaped towards Jason, attacking him with her plumage, while he caressed her.

Looking at the time, Jason noticed that there was not that much time left for him as he stood up with slight difficulties.

Unfortunately, he had to be present to the special combat class, but that didn't mean he wasn't allowed to be too late!!

It was probably not allowed but Jason couldn't care less right now.

He found it unlikely that many would dare to challenge him this week, as only someone within the special combat class was allowed to do that for now.

Only three days later once the new week began were students outside the special combat class allowed to challenge the students within the special class, as long as they had enough lace points.

Furthermore, the challenge was only accepted within the special combat classes, as such every student had to be present in the afternoon from Monday next week on.

Artemis had finished her evolution and Jason couldn't care less about others right now.

Sitting on the ground, he caressed her, while Artemis laid on his lap, filling it completely.

'I hope she won´t increase too much in size, otherwise, I won´t be able to take her with me all the time.' Jason thought worried and Artemis heard him before she transmitted a thought that calmed him down.

Apparently, she would grow in size, but she could adjust her size to her current size, which was the smallest form she was able to adjust to.

As of now, it was also her largest size, as she was still a youngling in her new evolution, which shocked Jason.

`Would she really be able to reach the magical rank without evolving another time?` Jason thought in his mind with a bright smile on his face.

He missed her so much and finding out that she wouldn't leave him in the near future for another evolution, caused him to be overjoyed.
