Logan was feeling confident as he reviewed his stats, recognizing that when he morphed, he didn't just replicate Zephyr's and Scorch's abilities—he absorbed their true powers and stats. This revelation explained why his stats had always lagged behind those of the other heroes. With his newfound ability to rge fully with his beasts, he now gained their core attributes: Zephyr's extraordinary speed and Scorch's overwhelming strength.
The possibilities fascinated him. He could only imagine how his other beasts might transform him once he rged with them. The potential felt limitless.
For now, though, Logan set those thoughts aside. Rest was his priority—especially with the journey to the ents awaiting him the next day. But before retreating to his room, Logan needed to ensure Alma's recovery. The afternoon eting had been cut short, and he set aside ti to call Kryst over.
Unlike the others, Kryst was only a child, having gained her self-awareness just a few months earlier. She needed guidance and reassurance, and Logan understood the importance of addressing her fragile emotional state. The events of the recent battle had left her shaken, and she was still crying.
"[Kryst, co with ,]" Logan said gently, moving closer to the small sli. Marie stepped aside, trusting Logan to provide the comfort Kryst desperately needed.
Kryst slowly lifted herself from the couch, her sadness evident in the way her form trembled. Without hesitation, she rushed toward Logan and enveloped him in what resembled an embrace, clinging to him as though seeking solace in his presence.
"There, there, Kryst. Let's go for a walk," Logan said gently, bidding farewell to the others as he stepped out. He craved fresh air, a mont to clear his mind. Heading to his balcony, he sought comfort in the view of his bustling town, alive with lights and activity below his tower.
"Kryst, turn into your human form so I can see you. Let's talk about what happened," he urged softly. The gelatinous form enveloping him shifted, morphing into a short girl with transparent blue skin.
"There we go," Logan said with a nod, gesturing for her to sit. "Now sit here. Let's relax and take a mont to admire what we've built." He patted the railing beside him, inviting her to share the view.
"Kryst, look at the lively city we've created," Logan continued, his voice steady but kind. "All of this exists thanks to you. Your crystals brought life and energy to this place, and none of this would shine so brightly without you. And today, you didn't just help the city—you saved Alma. That's sothing I'll never forget."
He paused for a mont, letting his words sink in, then rested a reassuring hand on her back, patting it with a calming rhythm. "But as you know, we have to get stronger—together. That way, you won't feel this sadness again. And next ti, we'll make sure this never happens to any of our friends. Right, Kryst?"
Logan settled beside her, his steady presence offering her the comfort she so desperately needed.
"Yes, no more hurt. I'll be stronger, like Lisa," Kryst said with resolve. Logan smiled warmly, her words sparking hope in his chest for her slow ntal recovery. He reached for the three mana elixirs—items Lisa had earned through her job change quests—and handed them to Kryst.
While the elixirs were traditionally used for healing, their pure light magic had a unique potential. Logan believed the elixirs would provide the final push Kryst needed to reach her new evolution. Among his tad creatures, Kryst stood as the highest-leveled, her proficiency with crystals having absorbed more mana than any of the others. Even Scorch, his strongest beast, couldn't match her remarkable energy reserves.
As soon as she finished the last vial, Kryst's body began to tremble. A luminous glow enveloped her, consuming her previous form as she reverted into a small, round object desperately struggling to maintain its shape. Seconds stretched into minutes as the transformation intensified.
Logan, ever watchful, stepped in to aid her. He placed several light mana crystals around her, knowing they could offer her additional stability. The crystals drained quickly, their mana rging with Kryst's new overwhelming energy. Then, sothing incredible happened. One of the crystals began to replenish itself, its light flowing back into Kryst instead of being consud.
Before Logan's eyes, Kryst began to recreate her human body, she was still in her round form as she stopped trembling. A hand erged first, followed by another—this ti, each was unmistakably human. Her translucent body was gone; in its place, the hands bore fingernails, veins, and even bones—a stunningly realistic transformation.
From there, she built her shoulders, chest, and legs, crafting each part with an unprecedented level of detail and vitality. Finally, her face took shape, completing her evolution. Her new form was no longer an imitation of humanity—it was an intricate and lifelike representation, as though every cell had been ticulously refined to achieve perfection, even while retaining her distinctive light blue skin.
Logan marveled at the sight. Kryst had crossed a threshold, becoming sothing truly extraordinary.
"What a great change, Kryst," Logan said, his tone filled with admiration. He quickly rummaged through a drawer and pulled out so clothes for her, aware that her newly ford body had grown to the point where it demanded a certain level of modesty—making it hard for him to keep his gaze focused on her face.
"Feel complete. Is this… human?" Kryst murmured, her voice tinged with wonder as she examined her hands. Every detail, down to the pores in her skin, had been recreated with remarkable accuracy. Her ability to mimic others had reached an extraordinary level, leaving her awestruck by the intricacy of her new transformation ability.
Logan handed her the clothes with a soft smile, proud of what she had beco and eager to help her adjust to her new form.
