Chapter 113: Transformation of the Crow Mother and Child
Ding!
[Does Host want to open the gift pack? (Yes/No)]
[You have successfully opened the gift pack. You are now free to pick a skill from your pet.]
Draco read this and felt like bashing the system. "What does this even add to me?" he muttered in frustration. Taking a deep breath, he tried to rationalize. "Maybe the HellFire Crow has a skill I can use," he thought.

Draco was shocked to find he had leveled up. Reflecting on his battle with the HellFire Crow, he realized that some Volkoids hadn't escaped, and their deaths had turned into EXP for him. He cheered—another level successfully crossed.
However, when he looked at the experience points required to level up again, his happiness dimmed. Another long journey of grinding EXP awaited him.
Pushing this out of his mind, Draco turned his attention to the girls sleeping peacefully and the two eggs, one large and the other small.
Suddenly, the eggs began to shake, and cracks appeared across their shells. The larger egg had more cracks than the smaller one. Draco watched with a smile—it seemed the crows' transformation was nearing its end.
A few minutes later, the large black egg shattered with an explosive sound, revealing a silver-black flaming crow.
CAW!
The crow cried out in joy. Draco quickly waved his hands, signaling for the crow to quiet down to avoid waking the sleeping girls.
The crow emitted a silvery-black light before transforming. A stunning, silver-black-haired young woman with mature features appeared, her silvery-black eyes locking onto Draco. She wore a black dress that accentuated her figure, her chest a generous E-cup.
Her expression shifted momentarily before she calmed herself. Glancing at her child, who was still undergoing transformation, she turned and walked toward Draco. Stay connected with empire
"Greetings, Master," she said respectfully.
She had been subdued. At the brink of death, she had felt a mysterious energy invade her body, imprinting itself onto her soul. Powerless to resist, she had no choice but to let it happen.
The imprint had infused her with life force, igniting black flames within her body and pulling her back from the jaws of death. These flames had then enveloped her, transforming into an egg to shield her as she underwent her metamorphosis.
She had felt her bloodline being refined, reverting to that of her ancestors. A surge of unknown energy had flowed into her, and her bloodline devoured it hungrily. She sensed a shackle breaking within her, her bloodline soaring like an eagle escaping from its cage.
Another surprise had come when a system interface appeared before her, displaying her strength, bloodline, and skills. The revelation had shocked her deeply.
She surmised all of this was connected to Draco, possibly orchestrated by the mysterious power behind him. It seemed she had underestimated the shadow that had raged so furiously before.
The imprint was a servant contract, but its terms weren't overly restrictive. The most important stipulations were that she could never betray Draco, reveal his secrets, or participate in any action that would harm him.
It was a servant contract based on equality.
Draco studied the black crow and noticed that, while she was weaker than before, she exuded a dangerous aura.

Draco read all of this in amazement and shock. He never expected the HellFire Crow to possess such powerful skills, each with an impressive multiplier.
However, something puzzled him. "System, why is her level so much lower than before?"
Ding!
[She underwent rebirth, causing her cultivation to restart from the beginning. However, due to the energy accumulated, she was able to reach Level 20 directly.]
[Note: If the HellFire Crow had not undergone rebirth, the system would have sealed her strength. The strength of the Host's pet must not exceed five levels higher than the Host.]
Upon reading this, Draco sighed, realizing the system was a joy killer. He had hoped the crow would remain far stronger than him, allowing him to roam and loot freely without worry. But alas...
Moments later, the baby crow's flaming egg cracked open. A golden and silvery-black crow emerged, flying toward the young woman.
CAW!
The baby crow cawed in happiness, nestling into the young woman's hands. She smiled warmly, her happiness evident as she held her child.
Suddenly, the baby crow flew out of the young woman's hands, radiating a brilliant light. In its place stood a two-year-old girl, exuding an aura of divinity. Her golden and silvery-black hair gleamed, her left eye glowing silvery black, and her right eye shining gold.
Anyone who gazed into her eyes would feel as though they were staring directly into the sun.
Her silvery-black dress with golden trim made her appear even more adorable and perfect.
Gradually, her radiance dimmed, her hair and eyes turning black like an ordinary human's. Yet, her striking resemblance to the young woman remained.
"Mama..." the young girl muttered softly, hugging the young woman tightly.
The young woman picked her up, planting a tender kiss on her head. The young girl giggled at the affectionate gesture.
Draco watched the scene silently. He could feel the unbreakable family bond they shared and the deep love the HellFire Crow had for her child.
This sight stirred something in Draco's heart. He yearned for the love and connection he saw before him. As an orphan, he had never experienced such a bond. However, Xylara had once dropped a hint that made him believe his parents might still be alive.
[????? Crow – A crow possessing the bloodlines of both the Netherworld Crow and the Golden Sun Crow. Born from the union of the HellFire Crow and the Sun-Chasing Crow. It wields both Ultimate Yang Energy and Ultimate Yin Energy, thriving in harmony with both.]
Level: 30
Rank: God Grade (?????)
Note: This Volkoid is still in its childhood.
This was what the system displayed for him. It seemed that, because the young girl wasn't his pet, he couldn't access her status as he could her mother's.
Draco continued to watch as the mother and child played together, the warmth between them filling the air.
