The moment Allen received the message, the demon energies around him surged and he began to rise in the air.
"What the hell is happening to you?" Nat asked, he was both surprised and confused at what was happening. He jumped into the air to pull Allen down but if he got close to him, a force would push him back into the water. He tried this over and over again but each time he tried to touch him, the force would push him down.
"Don't come any closer to me!" Allen yelled out to him as he saw that his efforts were hopeless. ' I didn't know I would experience my evolution in this manner ' He thought inwardly while looking around him.
The demon energy that was surrounding him began to engulf him little by little until his entire being was covered and hidden from Nat's eyes. Nat could only watch quietly what was happening to his new friend.
"I don't know what this is but if I notice that he's in danger, I won't mind destroying this place to save him," he said to himself while gazing at the purple light that had formed a large ball of energy with Allen inside.
[Your evolution has begun]
Allen could not figure out what happened next but the only thing he was to remember was that he suddenly blanked out the moment he received the last message. The whole process lasted for a while and after that given time, the ball of energy dissipated, and from where Nat was standing, he could see a whole new different Allen floating in the air.
"Wait, what is that?" He gasped in shock at the sight of what he was seeing. He gazed at Allen as he floated down from the air, he landed on the water without his legs going inside. His body had developed and he was now the same height as Nat with a developed body structure, his hair was no longer black but rather, it was white and lengthy with some red streaks at the front.
Allen walked out of the water and stood by the side. ' Show me my stats!' He said inwardly while ignoring Nat who was so confused.

Seeing his stats, Allen felt impressed with the development. ' I now feel so much stronger and alive than before. Is there any bad effect of devouring the demon energy?'
[Your hunger for blood has intensified so you should be careful not to lose too much blood or your blood-lust will be activated]
' I see. If it is just that, then I have no reason to worry ' He was confident about that because he was certain that he'd be able to protect himself well enough to not lose too much blood during fights. He turned and saw Nat gazing at him with a confused look, he had much expected that from him so he wasn't bothered. "Don't you have questions to ask me?" He asked him.
"What was that?" The latter asked him almost immediately.
"A lot has happened, which one are you referring to?" He asked him. He pretended to not know what he was talking about.
"What just happened to you? Your hair changed, you grew older than your actual age in the space of minutes and you now look even more handsome than me," Nat replied, saying the last words with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"I just had my evolution," Allen replied to him.
"Evolution? Do vampires evolve?" Nat was confused because he had never heard of vampires or demons evolving.
"I don't know about them. I just happen to evolve like this," Allen replied. He was also not sure about the evolution of a thing, he saw it as the system's only way of helping him grow stronger. But whatever it was, he didn't mind at all as long as he could evolve more and become even stronger than he was at the moment.
"I wish I could evolve just like you," Nat said sounding sad.
"It's nothing special, you don't have to wish for it," Allen replied and sighed afterward.
"What is the problem?" Nat asked him, seeing how he sighed.
"I think I've lost most of my strength, I need to rest," Allen replied and sighed again.
"I think it's only your outward feature that improved. Your resolve and strength are still as weak as before," Nat said to him.
Allen looked at him from the corner of his eyes and then looked away without saying a word in reply to what he said.
"We should head back to school," Nat informed him after some time and the two began to leave the citadel. As they stepped out of the gate, they saw a group of soldiers waiting for them there. Seeing them, Nat frowned because he assumed something bad may have happened. "What is the matter?" He asked them.
"We were ordered to arrest you and the vampire who is with you," the head of the soldiers replied, clasping tightly the iron whips in both of his hands.
"What for? Who gave you that order?" Nat asked them.
"The king," the leader replied, causing Nat and Allen to glance at each other before turning to face him again. "I wish you do not restrain me from doing my job or try to fight back or I'll be forced to use any means possible to carry out the order," he said and attempted to grab Allen first but Nat quickly summoned a sword and intercepted him by cutting off his wrist.
Ignoring the leader's bleeding hand, he stared coldly at him. "No one touches him, not while I'm still the heir to the throne!" He declared and stood in the space between Allen and the soldiers.
