304 Returning home with Tusk and Nix
[I wonder what the result is going to be. They didn’t change like Plow, yet a shell of hard mutated blood covers their body.]
*Crack* *Wobble, wibble...*

[Notice]
[Sub-Familiar mutation succeeded.]
[Frostflake Condor race changed to Frostflake Condor Mutant.

Vincent approached the table carefully. He extended both hands and stopped when his hands were above the two statutes.
Vincent used the index finger of each hand and gently tapped on the heads of the statues. *C... crack* A fine line cracked and rippled like cobwebs in mere seconds. The thin layered shell broke and fell apart.
The horned yok boar shook its small body, and it looked energetic as it cutely squeaked. There wasn’t much change in the boar other than two tiny jewel-like horns poking beside the horn in the middle of its forehead.
The boar now possessed three tiny horns on its forehead. Furthermore, Kazumi noticed the boar appeared to be slightly larger after being curious and replayed the memories a few times.
Besides the triple horned boar was a bucket of warm water. The condor inside wasn’t suffering nor looked weak anymore.
The condor also had a slight appearance change. When Vincent looked from certain angles, its skin sometimes had a green glittery sparkle from the sunlight. Additionally, it also looked slightly larger as the condor had less space inside the bucket.

Vincent took a step back and looked at his gauntlets.
‘My blood is more dangerous than I expected it to be. I know it all happened because of a new skill, but first Plow and now these two. I can mutate familiars into a new level of power.’ Vincent pondered.
[Don’t worry, Vincent. You are still my monster.]
-You seem to know what is on my mind.-
[I know you more than you know yourself. Mostly because I can replay any memory I want. Furthermore, it is easy for me to guess how you are afraid of the possibilities your body is able to achieve.]
[That’s why...]
-Thank you.-
Vincent soothed his turbulent thoughts with happy ones and stopped using Overheat. He turned around and said, “It’s okay now. The problem is solved. The boar can live an ordinary life with an ordinary lifespan, and the condor is cured.”
Yula stopped covering Olive and Lian’s eyes. Tula turned around.
Everyone in the kitchen could see the two young familiars without any pain or sadness. Both the boar and condor looked as if they suffered from no ailments in the first place.
Yula, her three children, and Lian cleaned and wrapped the condor in clean clothes while Olive and Vincent petted the little boar.
Plow felt strange. She wanted to greet the new arrivals and maybe even use her tail to give a head pat, yet she felt left out when no one was paying attention to her.
.....
Plow walked beside Vincent. She nudged his leg and asked to see the little boar, “Plow wants to see little piggy.” *Pho*
Vincent chuckled and lifted Plow. He placed her on the table beside the little boar and gently tussled her fur. “You are the big sister now.” He said.
Plow looked excited. She approached the little sitting boar and snuggled with it. The boar seemed to like the soft feeling of fur and wagged its tiny tail.
“Vincent, are these familiars going to live a normal life now? Are they going to become like Plow?” Yula asked with the condor held between her arms.
“Yes, they should live a life with no complications. Furthermore, both of them mutated enough to have a beneficial change. The boar changed its magic core to live a normal lifespan while the condor gained heat resistance to ignore the negative effect of its magic core.”
Vincent patted both heads of the boar and Plow.
“Both are tameable mutant variant familiars that are immediately friendly to those with my mutation blood strain. It means they will be very friendly to Olive and Lian. Furthermore, the boar now has one complete multi-element magic core while the condor’s Ice Body gained a degree of heat resistance.”
“Multi-element!?” Renn asked immediately.
“Yes. Both the Yok Boar fire magic core and, if I suspect correctly, the earth magic core of a Horned Boar.” Vincent answered.
“Can teacher one day give us an amazing familiar?” Lenn asked next. Both brothers wanted to find a familiar they liked and have it powered up with Vincent’s mysterious power.
[I smell danger for our wallet... ]
Vincent was of the same thought. He turned his gaze at Yula and hurriedly said, “I will leave this matter with you. Your sons need more training until they can make a blood bond contract with a familiar.”
Vincent turned his gaze on the twins next. “Remember. It is not a competition of speed. Take your time to find a suitable familiar.”
“The condor had a ninety percent to survive the process while the boar had a sixty-nine percent chance to survive. Regrettably, I couldn’t stop the process because it started immediately.” Vincent said. He approached the twins and placed his hands on his shoulders while saying, “The little boar might have passed away, so take your find a suitable familiar. ”
“We understand.” Both replied. They understood nothing is without risks in the world.
[Yup, let Yula take care of this. However, I hope the twins will not dry our funds...]
-It will be an investment then. They become stronger, and our home is safer from intruders.-
[You are right if you put it that way. It is better to deter people from stealing from us because I fear no intruder will manage to survive if they meet with Lupa or possibly Sakura.]
[Ester and Iris might be able to subdue any intruder if... Ahem. Let’s stop talking about bloodbaths when the intruder is weak and depart to our new massive home.]
Vincent took a step back. The pleasant and heartwarming sight made his lips raise a smile. The kitchen was filled with smiles. It was a different change of pace from killing, stealing a wife, and blackmailing the mother of Lilith to keep the secret.
‘Yeah. It is time to leave.’ Vincent thought before asking everyone it was time to go home.
And so, they shortly left. Vincent and the gang attracted more attention than previously.
Olive cheerfully walked with little the boar now named Tusk between her arms. On the other hand, Lian walked beside Yula with the condor now named Nix for Phoenix between her arms.
Vincent and Kazumi thought and gave the two familiars names when Tula insisted she wanted to give the little boar a dangerous and misleading name.
Tula was about to name the little boar Horny for its three tiny horns. However, she was rejected immediately by her blushing mother and smirking brothers.
Later, they arrived near their new home. The gate soon entered their sight, and the two women who looked like twins from afar appeared next.
Eliara and Fliara noticed them approaching and waved their hands. Lenn and Renn were the first ones to replicate the greeting and wave their hands as well.
However, it didn’t last for long. The twins heard “Hehe.” coming from multiple directions.
