388 Ignatius’ Evolution!
—–
A beautiful little dragon emerged before my sight. It was Ignatius! He had suddenly evolved after hitting Level 10 two days ago in that big battle. It seems he not only gained the EXP from killing the demons, but also the Basilisk my father killed became my EXP... wow. Also, the big boss there also became my EXP too, so I accumulated a ton of it. Nonetheless, what was important right now was the little big Dragon here.
He slightly resembled his former self when he was an adult, but there were some clear differences, first of all, he was very small and wingless. Yeah, he lacked wings, not like it mattered though, as he could just float. Second, he was covered by both orange and red scales across his body, and the tip of his tail had a small ember blazing with fire. His head was a small and adorable, resembling a big iguana. And he had a pair of growing golden horns at each side of his head, alongside a red jewel in the middle of his chest, and another orange one in the middle of his forehead.
He had truly hatched and become a Baby Dragon, most likely! He looked way too adorable...
But quickly after that thought, I remembered what had happened to him, and what the demon had done to him... How is he still alive? When I saw him suffering so much, I couldn’t help but feel my heart break apart into pieces.
“Ignatius!”
I couldn’t help but cry, as I hugged him tightly.
“E-Eh?! It is okay that you’re proud of my transformation, but why are you hugging me?!”
“I-I was so worried... I really thought you were about to die there... Are you okay? Does anything hurts?”
.....
I began to check all of his little body but found no wounds or anything else.
“A-Ah, I am alright now. Don’t worry. I healed after I evolved... And I am your Familiar too, you know? My life is tied with yours, even if that damn True Demon squished me like a bug for hours, I would still be somehow alive, as long as you are!”
“I see... I had forgotten about that... But still, you didn’t had to sacrifice yourself like that.”
“If I didn’t move back then, you would had been the one that could had died, or your friends... There was no point in letting that happen! As a dragon, there’s some pride in my heart, even after becoming your familiar! I am still holding a grudge against your father for what he did to me, but I am also not going to just let anybody kill you or your friends... I know I am a bit of a grumpy person, but I still got the heart of a dragon!”
“Ignatius... You’re silly...”
“Silly?!”
“After I’ve been trying to convince you all this time to join me, you only really did it when I needed you the most. You really love playing the hero, don’t you?”
“W-What are you talking about?! I am no hero, I am a furious and ferocious dragon!”
Ignatius was very prideful as ever, and his new form only made him more adorable.
“Check out my Status too! I have grown plenty strong!” Ignatius pridefully said.
“Alright, let’s see...” I said, checking on Ignatius’ status.

“Oooh! You bastard! You really grew stronger!” I celebrated, without being able to contain my excitement.
“I did, didn’t I?! Hahahaha!” Ignatius laughed his lungs out in happiness, he had truly become stronger now.
His stats had more than doubled, they multiplied tens of times in fact. and he seems to have gained some bonus stats after evolving as well, around +10 to all stats except Luck and Charm, where Luck increased by +5 while his Charm by... +50?! Is this why I suddenly find him so adorable? So Charm really does that!
And not only that but his Class changed from Egg to Baby... I guess that’s a plus, right? Additionally, he got two brand new Skills which seem pretty strong, but why does he still has the Eggshell Skill though...? Huh, well, whatever.

[Class]: [Baby Dragon]
A Class given to a young Dragon that has managed to hatch from their eggs. They are true survivors who have managed to withstand the dangerousness of nature by both luck and skills and had learned enough Experience to become small dragons. In this stage, they are able to move swiftly and their bodies had begun to be covered in hard scales capable of resisting physical and magical attacks. This Class grants a +20% Bonus to Physical Defense and Magical Defense, alongside giving a +30% Bonus to Agility, Speed, and Evasion.

Oh, the bonus to EXP he got as an Egg is gone now, I guess we’ll have to say goodbye to that. Nonetheless, he still gets the bonus EXP from Spirit Blessing, so it’s all good anyways. And as for other bonuses, more defenses and agility is quite good. He might be able to fight more physically now, although I don’t know if he’ll continue using [Roll], as he got [Dragon Claws] with those big claws growing out of his little hands.
“I’ve got legs and these sharp claws now! I can surely slash and kill monsters more easily now, Sylphy! Just you wait, we’ll go to the dungeon and I’ll show you my growth!”
“Huh, I don’t know if my parents will allow us to go to the dungeon for now, after everything that happened...”
