Sure, as he looked back, there was indeed several unread notifications that had been passed unnoticed as he had too much to think about.

[Time Required: 3 Days.]
[User must wait for the update to conclude, but the user can still use the his powers as well with the exception of the system skills;
With it, the system shut off as well all the light screens and other functions. Thomas was confused, he didn't even knew the system could download a update. Was it connected to some network or something?
'I guess I have no other choice but to wait, huh...' When he turned back to Lulu he was shocked to find all of the clothes he had given her and a small yellow lion was staring at him with a gaze full of interest.
So she could return to her beast form anytime?!
Looking closer, her beast form was different similar to himself without his demon transformation. Specially in the eyes, her left and right eyes were now orange and purple respectively which was the exact opposite of him as his were the right and left eyes orange and purple. Also, small patches of her fur also gained a purple/orange color which made her quite different from how she had been in the past.
So with the help of her evolution both his demon and human blood has been assimilated in a way that made her closer to him biologicagy.
Thomas deactivated his demon form. As he expected he was soon back to his human form and most of the lion parts in his body were gone.
"Good, the ears are gone, the tail is gone. Wait... is this my eyes!!?"
One thing that didn't change though was his eyes which still maintained the same purple and orange but they didn't look like a human nor demon eye anymore, no, his eyes had now become like a cat's.
Well, since the fight ended, he did felt like his vision had become better and gained more detail. Hell, he could even see how many people were walking into the city gates a couple miles away.
Staring the mirror, Thomas blushed with the fact he looked nothing like a normal person. If anything, he would be mistaken by a guy wearing cat-eye lenses which was better than seen as non-human.
It had just been a couple minute but Lulu didn't move her eyes away from. She was just there, studying him as if he was some sort of exotic animal.
A glimmer lit up in her eyes. "I see now! You are my kin."
'Kin?' Not asking what she meant by kin, Thomas noticed some time had passed and afraid of what was happening in Nana's family he and Lulu quickly headed back to the city.
This time, he noticed things were a little bit different as soon he stepped into the city gates. The Guards only gave him a passing look before they let him enter, first thing he noticed was the new smells he could sniff everywhere around him.
Indeed his senses had become increasingly sensitive after attaining the system but it was never close to this point. Right now he could even smell the piss of beasts on the streets as well track it's source through it.
He also came to discover he each and every beast had a unique smell to them. Through it he could easily assess their approximate strength and species as well their gender.
As he got closer to Lower West Wugan, as a district for beasts of lion lineage, it was rare for other types of beasts to ever wander here which was the reason to why he was thrown curious glares when he came here for the first time.
But now, even in his humanoid form, the beasts didn't seem to find him any strange. He could even sear to have seen one or two female lioness threw a charming look at him, but he couldn't be sure.
Arriving at the Earthly Core Residence, everything was as he expected. Nana and her sister were behind a big lion and lioness, Thomas knew they should be the three sister's father and mother.
The Earthly Core Lion Chief was staring at the tall and elegant blue lion opposite to him. the atmosphere was between them was quite heavy and Thomas only knew they were arguing about something when...
"Daddy!"
Lulu in her young beast form leapt across the courtyard straight to the big lion's then hanging at his neck like a tree.
Thomas in the far back rested his chin on his hand. According to nana, her second sister was the calmest an most serious of the three, but every since she woke up after evolution she seemed quite the mischievous cat.
