Emerald and Paprika were the first to evolve, naturally. Their sizes barely got bigger, remaining almost the same. But their appearances gained a more lustrous and majestic sheen to them. Especially and quite literally with Emerald, whose shell was now made of rainbow mithril metal, giving him immense defensive prowess and the lightweight of this amazing metal.

A full armor of this metal's scales protected the rest of his body, as his jewel-like eyes shone brightly with great authority. His entire Aura exuded a slight amount of... Divinity?! It was shocking. They even gained an Awakening Skill! It seems they are unlocked at Rank B!
His stats had grown to a ridiculous number already too. With those defenses, he can easily tank mostly anything that they'll ever face in the Arid Wastelands... That Awakening Skill seems to be connected with Allan too, interesting.
As for Paprika, she remained around the size of a dog, but she changed. Her appearance and aura gained a draconic aura to it. And indeed, it wasn't without a reason. She became a Dragon, finally inheriting the dragon bloodline after eating all that dragon meat.

Both Unique Familiars released their Divine Spiritual Auras, fusing them with their respective masters. Suddenly, a special sort of magic tattoo appeared over their bodies. Anna gained a blazing tattoo resembling a salamander in the palm of her left hand. Meanwhile, Allan gained a green tattoo resembling a tortoise shell on the palm of his right hand.
Ding!
[Congratulations, due to the ever-growing Bond of Anna and Allan with Paprika and Emerald respectively, the Divine Protection of each Unique Familiar has been activated.]
[Both Anna and Allan have gained Divine Protections from their Unique Familiars, allowing them to share 25% of their Familiar Stats and a few of their Skills as long as they imbue Mana into the Divine Protection tattoos.]
[Additionally, they have gained some permanent Bonus Stats based in the strengths of their Familiars and a random Skill inherited into their own Status, now capable of Leveling Up.]
[Allan has inherited +2000 Vitality and the Skill [Turquoise Spirit Barrier: Lv1]!]
[Anna has inherited +2000 Intelligence and the Skill [Heavenly Inferno: Lv1]!]
"I feel stronger...?" Anna wondered. "Woah! What's this?! Holy Fire!" She conjured holy fire from her hands.
"Ugh... I think I have some nausea- Uwaah!" Allan panicked as he found himself trapped inside a blue and green colored spiritual bubble barrier. "What's this? I made a barrier?!"
Anna and Allan panicked first, but after I guided them with their abilities and explained them what happened, they calmed down.
"This is amazing, brother!" Anna said. "I never thought I could conjure this magic so easily!"
"Yeah, this is great!" Allan said. "With this barrier I can protect myself better... And maybe protect sis too!"
"Hah, well, I'm glad..." I nodded.
"Blake, is this...?!" Eleanora gasped as she looked at me.
"Yeah, without a doubt. It seems this was... one of the intended purposes of Unique Familiars." I nodded. "To permanently share some of their Stats and Skills at random... It's already incredible by itself! But they can even temporarily gain the ability to channel 25% of their stats and use some of their Skills? It suddenly became ridiculous."
"Don't you have three of them?" Erika asked me as she looked at the evolving Unique Familiars I had raised. They all changed into amazing new, and powerful forms.
"Yeah..." I nodded. "And I can already feel it, my connection with them... It is strengthening to an insane level."
I felt my Divinity of Summoning the one that was doing most of the work in this exchange of powers. And my stats... they increased, and I even gained three new Skills out of nowhere too!
"Master, I hope my Skill can be of some use..." Ezekiel spoke with a seductive female voice, looking at me with a loving gaze. "I will serve you forever and ever."
"We live to serve the master." Even Fausto spoke, with a rough and slightly monstrous voice.
"RAAARR!" The only one that couldn't talk yet was Dominus, most likely it had something to do with their Intelligence Stat.
"They can talk!" Eleanora panicked. "Wait, who is that ghoul woman? Wasn't she a zombie before?"
"She... well, she became that for some reason." I sighed.
"Isn't she way too sexy and showing way too much skin though?! Hmm..." Eleanora's deadly gaze quickly made Ezekiel lower her head.
