Noah returned his gaze to the ongoing simulation.
He mentally noted that the first thing to be done after this ended was Duke's transformation.
Because right now, the memories of the simulation showed the glorious transformed figure of Duke in the form of Skoll.
And what a figure it was!
The golden retriever's form had undergone changes that elevated him from adorable companion to something genuinely majestic. A lion-like mane now wrapped around his neck and shoulders, composed of crystallized neon flames that flickered with colors that had no names. His vibrant golden fur carried traces of blue woven throughout, as if the authority of Mana itself had bled into every strand.
His form still remained that of a dog.
But majestic. Regal. Carrying himself with the dignity of something that knew exactly what it had become.
And those eyes!
