And the final creme de la creme of their Rank Up was the power upgrade it brought their mounts/combat pets like Clarent, Qiong Qi, Sheera and Luxia.
First was Clarent, the Fire Dragon troublemaker. At Rank 1, he had been the size of a computer. At Rank 2, he had been about the size of a 4x4 luxury car. At Rank 3, he had been about the size of a house. At Rank 4, he had been the size of a small highrise building.
Now at Rank 5, he was the size of a Kaiju, able to turn Tokyo into rubble with a single step.

Tsk, tsk, Clarent had surely increased his power significantly. His stats alone had jumped by a scary amount and were even getting close to the AI's cap of thousand per character.
It couldn't realistically display power beyond that point expect for doing the raw calculations. As for Clarent, he began flexing his muscles while wearing gym attire, posing for a fake camera as his biceps bulged.
As for Sheera, she simply glanced around boredly and then lay down.

Sheera's increase was pretty banal as usual, but Draco was interested in this Manticore Queen Form. So he requested that the exotic lioness do so for him and Qiong Qi to see, as the fellow was naturally curious about his wife's power-up.
Sheera glowed with a golden light as her body shifted from that of a beast to a furry. She was around 5 foot 6, with golden fur, cold blue eyes and exotic jewelry on her body. Her tail was still a poisonous stinger and her body was clothed by a fashionable white dress.
The moment Draco saw her, his face changed greatly to horror. She looked just like that specific female cat that everyone loved!
"SHEERA, SWITCH BACK!!" Draco roared.
Sheera was slightly stunned by the reaction but felt a coldness climb up her spine as if hundreds of eyes from the abyss were glancing at her. She quickly changed back into her beast form, which was a pure manticore, and she finally felt those eyes disappear.
Meanwhile, all around the world, various rule 34 artists stopped what they were doing as their eyes became bloodshot. A portal almost appeared before them, showing them a scene that they would never forget, only to be cut off at the last moment, causing them to rampage crazily.
Draco sighed and then glanced at Eva's beloved Luxia, who she was happily chatting with in the Avian language.
「Name: Luxia - Rank 4 --> 5 Light Phoenix

「Light Immunity – Passive skill

Draco's expression became unhappy when he saw that Luxia had far surpassed his mount Sheera and was even ruing to catch up to Clarent. After all, Phoenixes were only one rank below Dragons, so the gap between the two wasn't too humongous.
Looking at Eva happily chatting her mount, Draco pulled over the absent minded Shuangtian who secretly wanted her own mount and pointed at Eva.
"Haha, Shuangtian, look, Eva is talking to a bird in bird language!" he laughed with a mocking and shrill tone, making Eva's expression turn ugly.
