Chapter 75 — Gift
Noah and his team now stood outside the Forest of Darkness.
He had easily killed the S-rank beast and taken its corpse—along with the Wyvern's.
As a Creator, Noah could forge weapons, tools, or even powerful artifacts from them.
Creation was a form of growth, after all.
He glanced toward Eric, who had undergone a complete transformation.
His body was now lean, muscles compact and hard.
His hair and eyes had turned as dark as a starless night, while his skin was a pale ivory.
He was no longer human.
He was a shadow—a being molded by Shadeva herself, the First Daughter of the Shadows.
Through the transformation, Eric had inherited a bloodline, and his affinity for shadow had soared beyond SSS-rank.
A budding physique was awakening inside him.
He was no longer the same boy who had once walked into the Forest of Darkness.
And Noah was pleased.
From Eric, he could feel deep gratitude and awe—proof that Noah had made the right decision by not enslaving him.
