Finally. It took a while, but I did it. I just had to eat someone who tried to steal Julina's staff. Surprisingly trying to steal the holy staff is just enough to make me level 10. And I finally got a new skill from that guy, I don't really think it's important but it's a skill that helps me identify the cost of Magic Items. But when I reached level 10, my theory was correct, I surprisingly had 3 options. Either becoming a Purifying mimic, or a Crosscrunch Mimic. It must be because of the church and the holy water beverages I had (don't ask how I drank holy water. It was humiliating when she fed it to me.) I picked Crosscrunch Mimic since that looked cool.
I fell unconscious. But whilst I was resting, I felt pain, I grew, my chest shell became whiter and had golden stripes. Neat, I love a good wardrobe change. And just like it said, my teeth grew and had small golden crosses on them. So I guess Crosscrunch was accurate. So I then decided to look at my stats

Heavenly storage: You can store the sins of the beings you eat. And you can then curse other people with those sins so they will do them on your behalf
Interesting skill. If I wanted to, I could eat a burglar and get Julina to steal stuff for me. No, what am I thinking?! She's so kind. I can't make her do that.
"Louki! I have some bad news. Ooh, you look cooler!" Said Julina, who walked into the room. She gave me a paper. I read it and I was met with confusion
Saint Julina and the heavenly Mimic Justifier. You have been chosen by our King to go on a quest to the neighboring region of Celcinheim. For the princess of that region is currently being possessed by a demonic spirit which has caused their Saint to unfortunately pass. We require you to go there and purify her and slay the wretched Demon.
"Julina, my friend. Looks like we got a quest!" I yelped, my voice a mixture of excitement and worry. I mostly felt worry though, it was my first quest. And I just evolved, this is happening so fast for me. Even though it's been about a month. But hey, if we have to exorcize a Demon, then let's exorcize a Demon.
I then felt something, bouncy on me as I was lost in thought. I was worried I was touching, Julina's... Chest. But thankfully I am wrong. She was actually lifting me up from my pedestal and onto a new fluffy pillow. It's cozier than the pedestal.
"OK Louki. This is surprisingly our first expedition out of the kingdom since the day i met you. In fact, I've never been to another kingdom, I hope it's nice." Julina said, petting my upper jaw. Or more accurately, my "lid". That made me realize she still likes to dote on me. She is very pure, even if she French kissed me once.
The Chariot was beautiful, it was mostly silver but with an outline of black. It definitely didn't belong to the church originally, but I don't think it would exactly be appropriate to ask that in front of such a happy, pure, Saint. I almost thought we were going on a date or something, before I then remembered we were going to exorcize a neighboring Princess.
"Do you like it my dear Mimic? I found it from one of the sinners I fed you." Julina said, I an almost, husky tone. Like she was attempting to sound like she was suggesting something but her mind never thought of something like that before.
"So how do we exorcize someone Julina?" I asked her, licking my Golden crosses on my teeth. They kind of tasted like a mix of iron and milk. Felt weird. I almost forgotten That I have asked Julina something since she took 3 minutes to answer, hesitating, she finally spoke.
"We have to summon the Demon, and then kill it. But here's the thing, the only demons that can possess someone are Tier 2 or higher. I maybe the Saint but I am also Tier 2. So I might struggle against the Demon so I need you to fight it alone while I cast a cursing spell to weaken it so you can kill it more easily. I think you need to kill a Demon Louki, it is your first exorcism." She said, smiling. I almost thought she was trying to get me killed, before I came to the conclusion she wants me to get stronger faster since we might have to exorcize more stronger demons.
"Your idea is kinda cringe and cliche. But it might work." I said, grinning. As we drove off to the neighboring kingdom of Celcinheim.
