The kitchen staff was making a celebratory dinner for everyone, and Rae’s advancement was well underway, with over a third of the blood in her bath already absorbed as her power surged.
This time, there were noticeable changes to her body, not just a small change in size or coloration.
Her fuzz was vanishing, scrubbed away in the bath, revealing hard armoured chitin plates over most of her body, with deep black leathery flesh at the joints. Her legs gleamed with a metallic lustre under their coating of blood, and her formerly black eyes glowed a malevolent red.
She was growing as well, though not to an extreme extent. Her body was getting slightly longer, more elongated and less bulbous.
It was only when the bath water was gone and Rae had finished polishing herself that Karl realized she wasn’t actually wet from the bath, her carapace was slightly translucent at the surface, and appeared to be dripping with blood at all times, though it was smooth and dry on the surface and the bloody effect was underneath.
{New Skills Gained}
[Racial Skill] {Blood Destruction} Blood Elemental Magic. Rapidly increases or decreases the temperature of target’s bodily fluids. Once the temperature change is complete, the target explodes, dealing 50% Target Rank x Caster base damage to everything within a 10m radius.

{Evolution Completed} [Blood Destruction Demonic Spider]
Remi pulled Lotus back into the house as she felt Rae’s process completing, and waited for Karl to inform everyone.
That was not what happened, as Rae had too strong of a sense for the dramatic to allow that.
Instead, she appeared incorporeal in Night Haunter form and let the lingering effect that her new passive skill had on allies alert everyone to her presence. Only when they were starting to look around for the sense of Danger did Rae appear in the middle of the shop.
Screams rang through the room, and Rae giggled, a haunting rumble that seemed to echo through the room from some distant space.
Then she changed back to her humanoid form and did a spin.
"I did it. Not just an Overlord, but a new kind of Overlord." She explained.
Karl cleared his throat. "Everyone, meet Rae Bloodbath, our Guild’s newest Overlord, and now a Blood Destruction Demonic Spider."
"Two advancements in one day? That is incredible." Loros gasped as she examined Rae’s humanoid form to see if there were differences.
It was a transformation spell, not a natural transformation, so it hadn’t changed. But examining her spider form was just a bit too terrifying for most of the Demons.
"So, now there are two combat forces at Overlord? Well, three if we count Karl?" Wendy asked with an excited note in her voice.
