With his newly acquired information about the tournant, Moon beca visibly restless, unable to simply sit and relax on the couch with such a massive opportunity waiting on the horizon.
'I need to return to hunting imdiately. I still have dozens of S-rank beasts to eliminate, plus I need to locate and figure out how to kill another Supre-rank creature,' Moon thought with growing urgency.
The ti-line was significantly tighter than he'd initially calculated.
Before departing for another expedition, Moon decided it was ti to share the Supre creature at with Yara. After careful consideration and research, he'd concluded it was unlikely Selene could determine the fox's true rank simply from observing it.
"Hey, I killed a powerful S-Rank beast recently, and cooked it. Do you want to eat so? It will help you with your advancent." Moon asked Yara.
"Sure, I would love to!" Yara nodded vigorously.
Taking the at out of his storage ring, Moon turned towards Selene, "Do you want to have so too?"
Selene shook her head with a soft smile on her face, "No need, the beast will not provide with any attribute gains. It's better for Yara to have the whole thing instead and benefit from it. I can eat so other food later." Yara ate the prepared at with obvious enjoynt, savoring the complex flavors. But by the ti she finished the al, she could only stare at Moon in complete shock.
"I-I feel incredibly powerful, like I could advance to an entirely new level of existence," Yara stamred, examining her own blue-tinted skin with amazent. "There's so much energy flowing through my body that I can barely contain it all."
"Really? Can you describe exactly what you're experiencing?" Moon asked, genuinely curious about how the Supre creature's essence was affecting her.
'What if she gains so kind of permanent adaptation like Mirage did?'
"It feels like there's an overwhelming abundance of spiritual energy coursing through every part of my body, and I'm struggling to keep it controlled," Yara explained, her voice carrying both excitent and concern.
Moon and Selene exchanged a aningful glance.
"You might indeed be approaching your evolution requirents," Moon observed thoughtfully.
"Once a non-human creature nears their advancent threshold, they're typically transported automatically by the system to the Second Sanctuary," Selene added with growing concern.
"Does that an I'll be transported to the Second Sanctuary right now?" Yara's eyes widened with alarm, her earlier excitent about growing stronger replaced by so serious paranoia. She was still adapting to her the new environnt and didn't feel ready for such a dramatic transition.
"No, I don't think you will be," Selene reassured her. "If automatic transport was going to occur, it would have happened already by now."
She turned toward Moon with a puzzled expression.
"I believe Yara is fundantally different from typical creatures. I'm not entirely sure what causes it, but even during our ti on Lunaris Island, the system didn't seem to apply its normal advancent on her people. And even now—despite feeling like she's on the verge of advancent to Second Order—she's not being automatically relocated by the system."
Moon remained quiet for a mont, considering alternative explanations. "What if what she's experiencing isn't actually the sensation of imminent advancent, but simply the feeling of rapidly growing power within her current ranking?"
Selene shook her head imdiately. "We understand how beast evolution works. Based on current research and docunted cases, what Yara is describing matches exactly what creatures experience during advancent transitions."
"I see... so how do you think Yara could actually complete her advancent then?"
Selene thought carefully before responding. "I believe there are two possible options. Either she advances similarly to humans by voluntarily entering a Second Sanctuary portal, or by becoming the contracted beast of a beast master who could guide her through the process."
"Absolutely not!" Yara imdiately rejected the second option with a strong head shake. "I-I left Lunaris so I could beco more powerful to not rely on others when it cos to these things! Having soone else gain power over , over my body... I refuse to accept that path!"
Seeing her intense reaction, Selene imdiately moved to comfort her friend, placing a gentle, reassuring hand on Yara's arm.
"Hey, I was simply outlining what the possible options might be. We absolutely don't have to pursue anything you're uncomfortable with. We'll figure out an alternative solution, okay?"
Yara nodded, though tension remained visible in her posture. "O-Okay. Thank you for understanding."
Moon watched this exchange thoughtfully, recognizing that Yara's evolution presented both opportunities and challenges for their group dynamic.
"Yara, before advancing we need to ensure you're truly prepared for what awaits you," Moon said seriously. "You'll most likely be alone for a considerable portion of ti in the Second Sanctuary until Selene or I can reach you—assuming I manage to complete my own evolution by then."
Yara nodded with determination blazing in her eyes. "I understand the risks involved."
"Good," Moon acknowledged her resolve. "I'm going to head out to sell the loot I've gathered, then return to hunting in the sanctuary. I'll check in with you both every few days."
After bidding farewell to Selene and Yara, Moon made his way to one of the local branches of the Glassy Group. One of his most valuable benefits as their ambassador was access to preferential market prices whether buying or selling equipnt and materials.
Moon arrived at the facility and was imdiately attended to with considerable respect. As soone officially working for the Glassy Group, his identity was impossible to miss—Tom had ensured all relevant personnel knew exactly who Moon was and how he should be treated.
The Ascender's experience as a shrewd old fox who'd spent decades at the highest levels of power had made him predict that Moon would soon begin selling extrely valuable items. Naturally, Tom wanted to ensure Moon received excellent service to maintain their beneficial relationship.
By the ti Moon completed his business and left the branch, he had sold approximately half of his accumulated loot: 50 A-rank Black Ant corpses, 30 A-rank Crimson Wasteland beast specins, plus the complete bodies of the S-rank Black Ant Queen, S-rank Sand Worm, and S-rank Black Scorpion.
