nPartner was rubbing on me cutely. Her lovely and cold embrace calmed my agitated non-existent heart.
n“Phew… Thank you, sweetheart. I think I feel a bit better now.”
n“Better? I’m glad!”
nPartner suddenly rubbed her nose with my own.
n“Fweh?”
nThis is so cute!
n“Partner, you’re way too precious!”
nI hugged her back as Lucifer looked at us with a tired expression.
n“What’s wrong? Feel excluded? Fueheh…”
n“I-I am fine by my own!” said Lucifer while crossing his arms.
n“Come here, grumpy dragon!”
nI rushed over to him and hugged him. He seemed angry as he pouted at me. But he was getting embarrassed and as red as a tomato, which was even funnier because of how pale his skin originally was.
n“S-Stop! I don’t require any affection! I am an Undead. WE are Undead! Don’t you understand? W-We are beings born from death! We must embrace the darkness and- Uagh!”
nI began to rub his beautiful black horns; they were very hard, and I could feel like they could make an excellent crafting material.
n“S-Stop touching my horns!” He cried.
n“I am your master, so I can do whatever I please!” I laughed.
n“Ungh…!”
nLucifer’s lips trembled cutely as he looked at the floor, embarrassed.
nPartner got jealous, though…
n“Gggrrr…” She began to show off her sharp fangs at Lucifer.
n“Stop looking at me like that! S-Seriously, what kind of fate worse than death is this? Ugh, I should have just asked you to kill me….” Lucifer sighed.
n“Oh, these pointy ears are pretty cute too!”
nI began to touch his cute elf-like pointy ears. They were soft and cold as ice.
n“T-This is sexual harassment!” He cried out.
n“Fuehehe… There’s no law for the dead!”
n…
nAfter teasing the prideful dragon for a bit, I decided to evolve. Well, Partner evolved first.
n“Evolve!”
nPartner raised her arms upwards, and as soon as she shouted, phantasmal energies gathered around her as her body was “upgraded”.
nFLAAAASSSHHH!
nHer skin turned less dry and gained a bit more youthfulness, her hair was also less dry, and her eyes shone with crimson-red light.
nHer aura emanated something off, though, as if she was imbued with darkness and evilness.
nHer skin was made pale white, and I could now see her eyes better beneath her messy black hair.
n“I have evolved!” She cried out, with a more articulated way of speaking.
nShe had clearly grown stronger!
n“T-This can’t be…! D-Rank already?! And is that… Ah! I’ve never seen one of them evolve naturally… And you said she used to be a skeleton? What are the odds?!” Lucifer pondered out loud due to his disbelief, though I didn’t know what he was even talking about.
nI checked her status on my own.

nWhen I checked her stats, I was left a bit speechless.
nI can see why Lucifer would grow scared; she had gotten stronger than him!
nWell, after he leveled up, he got a ton of stats, so they are almost even, but she’s still stronger.
nHer stats had increased by quite a lot, and she got an enormous quantity of new Skills too! Her race also changed into a Dark Dhampir Knightess! What?!
n“Blood… I crave blood!”
nPartner moved towards me and bit me in the neck, but no blood came out.
n“Partner, I don’t have blood.”
n“Oohh… Sniff…”
nDamn, she really wanted to drink my blood.
nAnyways, it seems that she had stepped into a lower race of the evolution tree that god damn Vampires have, for some reason.
nI don’t know how she really did it, but she did it. Maybe being my subordinate really expanded her evolution options, and she chose the strongest, which was her current form.
nI asked her about this too, as she was now able to talk more eloquently.
n“When… I was a skeleton… I think there were more options… Like… Big skeleton… But I chose the other so I could have flesh… And this evolution… it was the strongest,” She explained to me.
nSo that’s why! It seems that Dhampirs have their weaknesses as Vampires lessened because she clearly does not have such weaknesses. She can also control blood, and her Spear Technique had become quite powerful. And, of course, she got cuter.
nSo overall… 10
/10.
