"O-Owen?" Yuki gasped as she took in the scenes before her.

Yuki's body had stopped glowing now and returned to her normal colours after the visual effects of the rank up had faded away, she stared at the change in her status screen, unsure of wether to believe this new information or not.
C-Rank. 50,000 Sp. Upgraded A-Grade skills. And Two new S-Grade skills.
She quickly Pulled up the descriptions of the new skills:
[Beast Shift (S-Grade)]
Transforms the Tamer into a humanoid hybrid of their tamed beast. This form grants the beast's physical traits and boosts all related stats for a limited duration.
[Beast Sync (S-Grade)]
Allows the Tamer to access and use the active skills of their tamed beast. As long as their mana can sustain the cost, any skill the beast possesses can be replicated through the Tamer's body.
Yuki Covered her mouth as she gasped, she had seen Owen's status screen recently so she quickly understood the Absurdity of her new skills, being able to transform into a dragon-Human and even use dragon skills naturally is an insane ability that would probably get her scouted by all guilds....or worse.
Owen had his golden eyes fixed on her, he wasn't checking out her breasts that were constantly wobbling during her rank up but instead, he was staring at her new skills too.
He too, understood the limitless execution and potential the skills had. 'With just these two skills, she'll probably be the strongest hunter in nexus prime once I evolve into my adult dragon form"
Owen then flew into her for a big hug, Knocking her down as he rammed into her.
"Awwn, come on baby! Don't be naughty" Yuki teased as she pinched his scaly cheeks.
"i'm so happy to be reunited with you yuki" Owen Roared But Surprisingly to him, Yuki had now understood him.
"W-what?" Yuki Froze, staring at Owen.
"Huh? You can understand me now?" Owen asked.
"I-I can?"
"Oh! This must be due to your Skill Upgrade!"
---
[Beast Link (A-Grade)]
Establishes a direct mental and emotional connection with the tamed beast. Thoughts, intentions and sensory impressions can be exchanged instantly, allowing flawless communication and coordination in and out of combat.

"I hadn't checked it yet, but wait, forget about that, what do you mean by Re-United?" Yuki rose, letting go of Owen as he suspended himself in the air.
"Uhh, well, don't be surprised, Yuki. It's me, Owen. In the dragon flesh." Owen smirked.
Yuki took a moment to absorb what Owen had just said, like cold air had just blown into her face. "No way! How is this possible?"
"Well, reincairnation, you know. I'm probably a fucking handsome protagonist in some story, hmph! I'm so awesome" Owen Roared, flying around Yuki in a circle.
But Yuki didn't share his comedic Acceptance of the situation, she burst into tears, making Owen fly to a halt. "Huh? What?? Why are you crying, Yuki??"
"I'm..sniff sniff..I'm just so..sniff sniff...you died, owen! I was at your funeral! Omg! This is all just too much" Yuki fell to her knees.
Owen feeling her Deep pain and sadness through the beast link skill, couldn't help but also feel overwhelmed by the emotions.
"It's alright Yuki, I'm alive now." He flew closer to her and placed his forehead on hers. "And I'm not going anywhere without you again"
Yuki wiped the tears off her eyes and rose to her feet again."well, alright then. This whole situation is still freaking me out but...."
She grabbed Owen, given him an even tighter hugged that threatened to suffocate him between her breasts. "....i'm just so happy to be with you again."
"I'm happy to be with you too, Yuki" Owen said in a muffled roar as his face was stuffed between Yuki's breasts. His tail wagging endlessly.
"Well then, let's get out of here. But, I don't know about being you out?" Yuki said, as she pulled him out of her embrace and eyed him thoroughly.
"You're too conspicuous, you'll attract too much attention"
"Don't worry about it Yuki, you have that skill, you know?" Owen said, nudging at Yuki to take a look at her status screen.
She pulled it up and came to a realisation then she reached out to Owen with her hands and willed something to happen.
Owen's Form then started fading out of existence but he wasn't agitated by this because he was aware of the skill that was being used.
