61 Chapter 61
Vincent stood in silence as his form slowly changed.
'Phew, it was great to get that off my chest!'
His mind eased as the huge horns shortened and his eyes became less red, turning orange and shrank from 7ft tall to 6ft, 8 inches. He didn't return to his elf like form and remained in his half-sin form.
It would no longer punish him for using his form all the time.
Vincent could now change his figure between the horned demon form and elf form at will. This made his life easier for both school and dungeon roaming.
'Most people won't notice it's me after all!'
He preferred this look the most. Although he wondered what changes the envy form would give. The idea to try fusing the two together passed his mind.
'I may need to do that when I gain all 7 sins and want to progress to my next level.'
<Oh master! It is the most laborious way. But you are correct!>
Two curved horns which pointed behind him, bright orange eyes burning with flames with slit pupils. His scarlet hair down to his ankles filled with smouldering flames.
Vincent brushed his red hair behind his ears, which were now becoming purple phoenix plumes towards the tip.
"How do I look, ladies?" His white teeth with large fangs shone as he asked.
"Perfect..." Odette said with a whisper as her face blushed and turned away.
Zera tilted her head as she pestered Odette for some snacks. She opened her mouth in shock as she saw him. He transformed from a beast into a beautiful monster.
Her little feet scurried over to him as her paws slapped the silky purple plumes like with her mouth curled into a cheeky smile.
"Vincent, now bird?"
She gestured to Odette with a face that seemed to understand everything.
"Siblings?"
"Gah!"
"Ugh!"
Odette and Vincent stumbled and used the dull walls to maintain their balance. This girl made them feel a strange sensation. They would have to flee to the deep south to live happily.
"You look very handsome. I wonder what exactly are you? But that would be rude of me."
Zarina gave a small nod as she appreciated his beauty and prepared to clear the boss room. Her huge sword slide out of the dirt with a crunch as she used some oil and a cloth to clean the blade.
'He became more charming. I could feel myself almost charmed. That should be impossible. I am...'
Her thoughts trailed off as she noticed his bright gaze on her actions.
'Does he want to observe me tending to my weapon? What a funny spellcaster. Fufu! What can be the harm?'
Zarina showed her movements and how she cared for the gigantic sword. She narrowed her eyes with a natural smile for the first time in a while. Her mother taught this technique, and she felt delight to have someone so interested in it.
Odette looked at the two and gave a wry smile. She would no longer get jealous for no reason, which would just stress her lover. Her choice was to fix her clothes instead as they were still a little messy from her time in the time cavern.
"I wonder, did you find out what type of monster the boss is for this level, Vincent?" Odette asked with a soft voice.
Vincent continued to watch the refined and graceful movements of Zarina's hands as she made her black sword shine brightly. He enjoyed these little things, as he would spend many nights with his mother and sister, cleaning all the training weapons.
'It felt like a chore back then but... I find it so nostalgic now. We are so far apart.'
"Thanks to Violetta, I think she mentioned the boss was a pair of trolls. Not like the one earlier. He is a rare spawn, and both bosses together are about the same strength as him."
Odette stroked through her hair with a wide-toothed comb as it shone in the torchlight from above her. She placed a finger to her chin and looked deep in thought.
"Hmmmm, will it be a problem without Silvari? I assume you cannot summon her again, right? Will you summon that tanned demon instead?"
Vincent thought he could trust Odette as she was now his woman and marked not only by his daemon blood.
But as they were both phoenixes, it caused a strange situation.
It turned out because he hadn't awakened his bloodline before. He was technically a virgin, so she received the same buff a male would from her virginity. Which caused her evolution into a frostfire Phoenix instead of a normal phoenix.
'Come to think of it... I didn't check her status. Maybe I should to avoid any future dangers...'

"Oi!"
'What is that last line! Why are her attributes so damn crazy!'
Vincent felt quite annoyed this girl was so useless before and now she fucked him a few times. She was stronger than Violetta, the hybrid fighter in magic and wisdom!
"Well... At least I know she won't ever betray me, suddenly feel like she needs to stay away from sharp items."
He looked around the room to see everyone was ready. Well, everyone but a certain tiger that seemed missing. His eyes trailed around the entire room and couldn't find her.
'Where is the little shit....'
Pomf!
Vincent felt something brush against his long phoenix plume ears. It felt close to the wind, so he ignored it and walked towards the door. He was sure if he took out a steel bowl and clanged it and called out food, she would come.
Pomf!
Once again, something attacked his ears. So he played along after figuring out the culprit.
'???'
He looked up and saw nothing.
"Must have been the wind!"
Odette looked at him as if all the love she had for him died. Her eyes looked at him like a retard.
"What?"
She just shook her head and entered the boss room. He was pretending to be stupid on purpose. This is what she told herself, otherwise she might have lost all desire to live.
Zarina couldn't seem to understand the joke and just headed towards the door and left the two idiots behind. Her feet sank into the dirt from her heavy plated armour and sword.
The crafty cat crawled out from a small brasier that was hung from the roof. A massive grin in her face like she stole fish from a fisherman moments before he left with his big haul.
Her agile body slowly crept up towards him and reached out to play with the long fluffy feather that her instincts screamed was prey!
"Zera!"
Moments before she touched it, a huge palm grasped around her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.
He was so fast and powerful the poor cat could only flail with her legs and try to attack the feather with her other hand. She bit into his arm and hurt her teeth.
Zera now looked at him with a sad look as her mouth throbbed in pain.
"Come on, we have to kill some bad guys. I will buy you some fish for dinner before I take you home to Luna."
He put her under his right arm as she still struggled and continued to bite him. Despite her feeling only pain from his firm flesh, now better than most low-level metal armour.
"Nyaaoo!!"
"Vincent Bad guy! Get bad guy!"
The door creaked open to show two valiant women stood ready.
There was no strange announcement after he went through this portal into the boss room. He wondered why and would ask the girls after they killed these ugly bastards.
He placed Zera on the ground as she darted away. She looked at him like he violated her, which hurt his innocent heart.
'I have some unknown hatred towards ugly bastards...'
<Hehe>
'Fufu'
It seemed the two cultured girls knew why. But they deemed to keep it from him.
Two trolls around 2 metres in height stood before the party.
One was blue with a flabby body and large green eyes. He seemed to hold some kind of staff and was likely the caster type Violetta told him about.
"Careful, the blue one is a powerful caster, but can only cast one element of magic. The colour of his skin shows his element, which is water/ice. We should be okay thanks to Odette's recent changes and her flames penetrating all water/flame resistance."
He took a moment to double check and watched the red one, which was slimmer and had black eyes and an enormous axe in his hand.
"The red one is a strength type and should be quite slow. However, do not underestimate him. One blow will almost kill you. So keep your guard up, even you, Zarina."
The woman gave a nod as they all got into position.
Vincent walked forward, as his horns became more beautiful and shone a red and blue colour. His phoenix plumed ears grew larger and fluttered in the faint breeze.
More vibrant feathers grew inside his hair, making him look more enchanting, and his eyes became bird-like. He grasped Odette's hand and gave her a smile.
"Let's dual cast your Frostfire bolt? Darling?"
"Un!"
She nodded with a lightly blushed cheek as Odette felt his face became more radiant the moment he entered this form. He seemed more elegant rather than his fierce self in the other one.
