Later that night

  Lorien was sitting face to face with Nezuko in the backyard

  He had just finished absorbing the Dream Energy collected by the Tree of Dreams tonight

  This gave him a slight all-around improvement and allowed his perception range to increase from 95m to 96m

  As Lorien's strength became stronger, the energy required to improve also increased

  If the same amount of energy he absorbed today was used previously when his perception range was at around 70m

  The increase would have been at least 6 or 7 meters, not 1 meter

  Lorien couldn't wait for the day when all the planted Dream Trees in Japan get linked so he could absorb as much energy as he wants

  When that happens, it'll be the moment when Lorien finally enters true high-speed improvement

  And that day won't be far as he could feel that his 'luck' is improving

  This is demonstrated in even the smallest stuff such as flipping coins, randomly finding money when walking around outside...etc

  This means that the 'World' is finally starting to feedback after all the Dream Energy Lorien gave it

  After all, 40% of all the Dream Energy the Tree gets is sent directly to the 'World'

  And now, Lorien is finally getting 'identified' by it as the 'protagonist'

  But this is not today's topic

  What Lorien is going to do now is resume Nezuko's 'Healing'

  Yesterday he helped her gain the ability to survive under the sun

  Today he is going to strengthen her

  And by that, it means, Helping her achieve her full potential as a Demon, be it on the Ability or the Immortality Side

  With that in mind, Lorien held her wrist and started using his Ability

  [Dream/Reality]

  As his power started operating, a mysterious force abruptly emerged inside of Nezuko's body and started transforming her

  As it did, Nezuko unexpectedly felt a burst of pleasure all over her body

  This is simply an instinctive reaction and has nothing to do with Lorien

  Her body instinctively knows that what's transpiring is good for it, so it keeps sending 'signals' asking for more

  And as the transformation continued external changes also started happening

  First, it's her body, She started growing quickly until she reached an adult state

  This state is identical to the one Nezuko used when she fought Daki in the original timeline

  The reason this happened is that this state is her optimal one

  But things didnt end there, as after her growth finally stopped, and things stabilized for a moment

  Two Horns suddenly burst out of her forehead, one on each side

  Her cat-like eyes turned more aggressive

  Her Canine teeth also grew bigger and sharper

  All of this combined gave her a very 'wild' look

  But these were just the outer changes

  And as these outside changes were happening a more crucial transformation was also occurring inside of her body

  This transformation targeted her Blood Demon Art, changing it slowly in subtle ways

  Those changes guided her power in a mysterious direction

  It is unknown what form her power will take or if any true changes will even happen

  This Transformation be it inner or outer, lasted for around 25 minutes

  And as it finally ended and no further changes occurred, Lorien let of Nezuko's wrist and looked at her

  As he did, He was immediately shocked

  'What happened?'

  When helping her, he was focused on using his power and he didnt look at her

  He expected changes but he didn't expect her to abruptly grow up

  Then just as Lorien was looking at her

  Nezuko frowned, as the pleasurable state she was in ended abruptly with the completion of the transformation

  Feeling this she reluctantly opened her eye and looked at Lorien

  Seeing her look at him, Lorien reacted and said

  "Try to feel your changes!"

  And as he said this, He made a mirror in front of her for her to better see the changes

  Looking at herself in the mirror she was stunned

  'Is this me?'

  No wonder she felt her clothes were constricting her as if they were many sizes smaller

  It appears that she suddenly grew up

  But looking at the horns on her forehead she frowned, she didn't like their presence

  As she thought of this, those 'horns' immediately retracted with a *swish*

  She was taken aback by this, but then, she quickly reacted as she curiously tried taking it out and then retracting it over and over again

  Seeing her engrossed in playing, Lorien couldn't help but remind her

  "Try your Blood Demon Art"

  Hearing this, Nezuko stopped playing and immediately started testing her ability

  Pinkish flames abruptly appeared on top of her hand causing the surroundings to heat up

  Then with a wave of her hand, The flame flew to a nearby chair accurately hitting it

  *Swish*

  This caused it to catch on fire and then turn into ashes in no time

  But she didn't stop there, as with another move of her hand, the flames hit the ground

  But this time no damage occurred to the earth or even the grass on it

  It acted like it usually did before the transformation

  Seeing this both of them figured out the changes

  It seems that after the transformation her flame damage is no longer limited to demons

  It could also now damage humans and other things like a normal flame

  This of course doesn't mean that the special damage on demons is lost

  It just means that she now has more options

  Not to mention that she could control it so the flame only damages demons as she just did in the last test with the ground

  With the test ending, Lorien started evaluation her power

  After the 'Evolution', Nezuko's 'Aura' rose from the level of a 'Low Rank' Upper Moon Demon to that of a 'High Rank' Upper Moon Demon

  If he were to seriously evaluate it

  In terms of pure strength, she is now nearly equal to Upper Moon 1 or 2

  But that's just in terms of pure physical stats as Nezuko couldn't fully utilize her powers and had 0 combat experience

  Thinking of this Lorien decided to fix this as the 'Last battle' is nearing, and she'll be a good help when he isn't present

  Deciding on this he looked at her, pointed towards the Tree of Dreams, and said

  "Come sit here, We are going to train"

  Hearing this she looked puzzled as she didn't fully understand what he meant, but she still listened to him and sat down

  Seeing this, Lorien put his hand on her shoulder and used his power causing her to instantly fall a sleep

  Following this he a barrier around her as a protection, and then disappeared from his position

  The way he decided he would fix this issue is the usual way, By practicing in a Dream

  What he plans to do is first of all teach her the Sun Breathing Technique

  Their family had it for generations and what he's doing could be considered as giving it back to its rightful owner

  Then, Following that, he plans to help her improve some of her combat experience even just a little

  -

  [Dream]

  Suddenly appearing in the middle of a White space, Nezuko looked around in confusion

  If it weren't for Lorien standing in front of her, she would have been freaked out

  But even then, She was still baffled

  Seeing this, Lorien didn't let her guess for long as he started explaining

  "We're going to...Then....."

  "So! Do you agree?"

  Digesting what he had just said, Nezuko paused for a moment then resolutely nodded

  Lorien didn't know what she was currently thinking

  But seeing her agree, he didn't ask further as her response was exactly what he wanted

  So, he responded with a smile

  "Let's start then!"
