The tier 2s funneled back into the underground basement where Colin, Alice, Lily and Leia were waiting on them. Lily was looking at the tier 2s walking towards her with intrigue, but the one who intrigued her the most was Leia herself. Using her [Inspect] skill, she was able to find out that Leia was a halfling, meaning that she was going to become a true Demon like Colin. This intrigued her because true demons are born from other true demons, not turned using a Demonic ritual like Leia was, which reassured her of how unique Colin was. She also looked at the other tier 2s, but sadly, she didn't spot any more halfling, just a few imps, a few lust fiends, goblins, spider kins and a....
'Wait, is that a Nymph?' Lily thought as she looked at a nervous looking young woman with flawless skin that had a greenish tint to it, green eyes, red hair and a delicate aura that made others feel the need to protect her. Nymphs, or rather dryads, weren't a very well known demon species as they were very rare and because of that, they aren't well known in the Demon realm. According to what Lily knew, dryads were known for their strong affinity to plants and nature. According to her mother, the dryads resided in the Great Oak forest, a forest that was a few kilometers wide and resided in the Lust ring. The forest was filled with plant monsters and was also one of the few places in the underworld that you can get edible plants. She was also told that many demons from multiple Demon houses entered the forest in search of dryads, but none ever came back. She never really believed her tales, even though she has never entered the forest herself, but suspiciously, her mother always gave them fresh fruits to eat whenever they asked.
'Let's see, we have 10 imps, five lust fiends, nine goblins, five spiderkins, a halfling and a nymph. I have seen a goblin, imp and a halfling before but not the others. Let's see.' Colin thought as he looked over the soldiers walking in.
[Imps: This subspecie is known for being violent and having a strong affinity to flames. They are also known for being fearsome in combat with their sharp and terrifying claws.]
Just like the imps Colin and Alice fought, they had small red horns on their head, a small red spear tipped tail. There irises were red like most other demon species but they're irises looked like they had small red flames inside them and there scleras were charcoal black. They had red skin, but unlike the other imps, they were not short like children but they were short non the less.
[Lust Fiends: A subspecies known for their exploratative nature and desire. They will grow into lustful creatures.]
The lust fiends didn't look much different from humans and didn't change much, except for the pink hues that became present in their eyes.
[Goblin: A lesser demon subspecies known for their curious natures and their lack of fighting ability, which is a bad combination. This usually gets them into trouble, and more often than not, leads to their death.]
The goblins, just like the imps, also became shorter than before. Their skins became green and their ears became pointed
[Spiderkin: An immature subspecies that are will grow into a fearsome predator.]
The spiderkin also still looked human, but their skin was slightly paler than before.
[Nymph: A subspecies known for being delicate and beautiful. They are an all female species and will grow into a beautiful entity worthy of protection.....or a fearsome entity that brings about destruction wherever they go.]
"Alright, since all of you are here, let's start. I know all of you are more than a bit concerned about your change in appearance, I know I was when I evolved into a tier 2, but it is only gonna continue to change from here. There is no way to stop it if you wish to become stronger. Now with that said, if you want to know what you will turn into next, I have a some idea, but I know someone who has a better idea." Colin said and turned towards Lily and soon, everyones eyes fell on her and she jumped in surprise.
[What are you doing?!] Lily asked, a bit alarmed
[I thought since you are the daughter of a Demon king, you should be pretty knowledgeable about tier 3 demons. I just need you to tell them what they can do and what they will look like when they evolve. Please.] Colin said
[I guess I can do that, but it would be better if you got an Evolution Guide from Bartus. It's a book that we give to children to teach them about the evolutionary trees of their species. It basically shows you pictures of what you would look like and explain to you your skills with their descriptions and everything.] Lily responded
'I could have used something like that when I was a halfling, but it would still be useful to get one. I should also inquire about what else Bartus has in his in inventory.' Colin thought
