I spent the rest of the day walking and eating around with Rimuru and Brontes. Nesiphae wanted to rest a little bit more on our room, as she had too many scars on her body and needed to sleep and regenerate. This wasn't the case for Brontes because even when she lost an entire arm, she was hanging just fine, and most of her scars were already completely recovered.
This was mostly thanks to the innate ability of any spirits, which is the automatic regeneration of Spirit stat. Brontes told me that she would regenerate her arm in around two days.
Zehe decided to pass the festival with her Teacher, although that gave me some jealously, she sees him as her father and it was fair to let them be together after so long.
.
.
.
When the night finally fell, most of the people on town went back to their houses to eat and sleep, while Redgaria ordered his undead to stop the shows and save the souvenirs.
I called him over alongside all his former servants, and we reunited inside the castle throne room.
It was the time to apologize to each of his former servants, as he previously agreed.
And so, he did, without any shame, Redgaria kneeled down to every surviving Troll and Goblin, this also included Zehe, Celica, Truhan and Herbell.
The tiniest of Goblins couldn't believe their beloved master was kneeling and asking for forgiveness.
Even I could detect some regret on his face, I think he realized that what he has done caused a horrible pain to his servants. However, he told me that he has accounted for each of his servant's deaths, and that he carries them on his back, always reminding him of what he has done.
"I certainly regret what I have done to each of you, and your dead brothers and friends"
"Although I give all of you life, I didn't have the right to take it from you"
"However, my convictions were stronger, and I was willing to carry the hatred and sacrifices of my servants towards my goal"
"I am sorry, although I regret this, I would probably do the same if I were in the same conditions"
Some of his most loyal servants went towards Redgaria and hugged him on his weak legs, crying.
"Oh Master! You give us life, please stop apologizing!"
"Although what you did was wrong, all of us has taken the lives of others for our own benefits, we aren't any different than you!"
Redgaria was surprised by the sudden show of affection, while glancing at him, I could feel his old and tired soul shine for a moment.
When everyone finished crying and hugging the old necromancer, I looked at him with a serious expression.
"Very well, there is still some things that you need to do, but we will let that for tomorrow, go to sleep. There is an empty room in the castle for you, you can also carry some of your undead servants inside, but the rest will stay outside. They will work alongside my undead, constructing houses and streets"
Redgaria nodded.
"Thank you, Kireina"
A little Spider Maid guided Redgaria towards his designed room, while the rest of my servants slowly went back to town.
I also gave a small room on the castle to Herbell. I don't think that he needs to sleep, but I would never let him stay in my room.
Because of the big feast we had at the festival, we didn't need to have any dinner and we went to bed earlier.
Before entering my room, I opened a window and called over my great sword.
After three minutes, it came rushing like a silver-colored thunder.
Flash!
It stopped right in front of me, creating a big shockwave.
It seems that if I let it outside for too long, it would go on a rampage inside the forest, killing any monster it came across.
I saw that it has leveled up quite a lot.

I noticed that it had some weird skills, it seems that after absorbing the Essence of those Bone Weapons, it obtained some of its skill, similar to my blessing.
"Or perhaps it's just my blessing in effect? Well, you are free to go. Go level up some more"
Maybe it will come back with tons of new skills tomorrow.
When I went to my room, I found my wives soundly asleep, unlike other times where they were hungry for night activities.
The sleepy and relaxed faces soothed my heart. It seems that they were still tired from the last fight.
I silently went towards the left side of the bed and rested at Nesiphae side, while I analyzed her body, it was full of multiple scars, and a big chunk of her tail was missing, she must have gone through a lot of pain. Thankfully all the wounds were closed and she seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
I hope she can recover in time. If not, I will have to find a solution.

[Day 37]
I woke up early this morning thanks to Wagyu, who greeted me with several licks from his massive tongue all over my face.
"Gaah! Stop already! What do you want, Wagyu?"
I saw him moving his tail happily while having very open eyes, he seemed excited.
"Master! Master! My children are about to be born!"
"W-What?! Weren't you in heat next year?"
It seems that on the background of what has been happening recently, the named wolves around town discovered the effects of the skill [Lower Goblin Sexual Thirst] and after activating it, they found out that they could enter on heat again, even if it wasn't that time yet.
Even worse, the skill could be used on other wolves, so most of the named wolves used it on their unnamed love partners and even other couples that asked them. And so, every night, all the wolves mated for who knows how many days.
It seems that before our trip to the Forest, Wagyu had already left her partner pregnant, and it was finally the day of her giving birth.
Of course, I didn't know at all about this, maybe the Rin sisters didn't find it as important to tell me right away as I came back to my Kingdom.
As I walked towards the newly founded Hospital in the center of the town, the news was spread everywhere, as tons of female wolves were giving birth today.
On the way I found Redgaria who decided to accompany me, he couldn't walk so fast so a big skeleton soldier was carrying him like a damsel which was rather funny.
"Yo, Kireina! It seems that every wolf is giving birth, I heard… How could it be? Is it another of your blessing effect?"
"W-Well… Maybe… You see… When they ate the Goblins flesh, they obtained a special skill…"
After realizing which skill was, Redgaria exploded in laughter.
"Bwahahaha! Well done! Wolves usually take very long to mate. This is beneficial for your Kingdom"
As I heard Redgaria, we finally got into Wagyu's partner room inside the Hospital.
She was a pink colored pure Crimson Wolf; she had a rather petite build and I could notice some purple markings around her eyes. I immediately realized that if she manages to evolve, she will probably become a powerful variant.
She bowed her head after seeing my presences but I told her that it wasn't necessary at all, while patting her head.
As she was with her loved Wagyu and her Master, she peacefully gave birth to two very strong puppies.
I remembered that Crimson Wolves usually took a lot of time to give birth and had more puppies too. But it seems that because this mating season was self-induced, it reduced the amount of offspring per mother. This still didn't answer why they were born so quickly.
Redgaria told me that when the wolves are born from a super-evolved variant like Wagyu, they would develop extremely quickly inside their mother's womb, taking around 3-4 days, unlike the Crimson Wolves that would take around a month.
The two puppies were both born directly into a super-evolved variant, which was the current one of Wagyu, named [Crimson Moon Demon Wolf Emperor]. The two were a boy and a girl and were almost identical if it wasn't because the girl had the purple markings on her eyes inherited from her mother, and the boy had a long golden horn on his forehead.
After spending so much time with Wagyu, seeing his puppies being born made me feel as if they were my children, which made me cry for a brief moment. Which Redgaria used to laugh at me.
Wagyu waved his tail as it asked me to name his children.
"Okay, but both you and your partner must choose a name"
Wagyu and her partner looked at each other with confused faces and began to think of a fitting name for the brother and sister.
After some time, Wagyu named the boy Amarok, and her partner named the girl Asena.
As I left Wagyu and his partner with their children, I walked around the Hospital and found Yuki's room, her partner was a young Crimson Wolf. It seems that both fell in love with in the Troll War.
Yuki told me that she wasn't so sure about being on a relationship anymore for being an old mother already, but the young Crimson Wolf was completely in love with her, and she ended up giving up towards the young wolf love. Yuki was already mother of some unnamed Ice Wolves that came with her, some of them already had children too, which would make her a grandmother.
She only gave birth to one male puppy, but I was amazed by the children's race, as it was a successful mix of wolf races. It was named [Crimson Ice Wolf (Unique)] and had a rather interesting coloration, as it had the combination of the deep red of the Crimson Wolves and the pale white of the Ice Wolves as if his red fur was like a flame dancing on the icy white color. It also had a multi-colored red and blue crown made of tiny horns. It had one blue eye and a red-eye.
She named it Hati.
Afterward, I looked over until I found Kekensha too. His partner was an unnamed young Ice Wolf. Just like Yuki, Kekensha didn't care about having more children because he found himself already quite old, however, this young Ice Wolf rookie was deeply in love with him, calling him her "Golden Wolf Prince" and something like that… Kekensha ended up accepting her feelings and she ultimately got pregnant not too long after.
They also got only one pup, which was born with Kekensha super-evolved variant race named [High Golden Champion Wolf], the boy had a beautiful pair of Ice Horns that differentiated him from Kekensha, probably inherited from her young mother.
Her mother named the pup Geri.
Leaving the couple alone, I went with Redgaria around the entire Hospital, naming countless of pups. I hope that these promising rookies doesn't disappoint me, because I used tons of MP for their names and even had to drink around 20 MP Potions to recover it all.
As I was finally freed from this work I slowly walked back to my castle. Redgaria was following me with a happy face.
"Hmm, you are quite the hard worker, aren't you?"
"Sigh… Its nothing, for my family, I would do it again"
"Hahaha! You have a strong family sense, Kireina! Don't you want to have children too?"
I looked at Redgaria stupid question with a scared look.
"Don't talk stupid things! It's impossible to have children with my wives"
Redgaria put his thin hand below his chin.
"Hmm. I wonder… I think that there could be some way, you haven't found it yet, that's all"
Just thinking about the possibility of having my children filled my heart with happiness, however, I really can't believe what this guy says.
"D-Do you think so?"
Redgaria gave me a thumbs up.
"Hmm! I do! You have so many skills, and even can change your appearance! I'm sure that you will be able to find a way to put your seed inside your wives! Work hard!"
After such an embarrassing statement, I felt as my whole face became red like a tomato.
"S-Shut up already… Anyways, I will need you for something today…"
Redgaria began to tremble in fear.
"E-Eh? K-Kireina… I didn't mean it that way… My body is only for my sister… I'm not into Vampire Ghost Fairies"
"W-What?! No! I didn't mean it that way either! Sigh… This guy…"
.
.
.
What I needed Redgaria to do was giving a new body to Herbell, who was still a floating sphere.
Redgaria decided that a new Lich body would be fine, as Herbell already had a very good experience with magic. The sad part is that he lost all his previous skills and stats.
Suddenly, the old necromancer had an idea.
"Hmm! How about this?"
Redgaria asked me if I could use any summoning skill. My only one was the Blood Servant skill.
"That's good enough! Prepare yourself, Kireina, we will perform a ritual summoning magic!"
"What is that?"
My former enemy told me that this ritual could be performed while connecting our MP and casting a summoning skill on a magic circle previously settled on the ground.
I decided to use my blood to mark the circle, and Redgaria was surprised over the power of my Blood, which contained the essence of countless beasts.
"Kireina, your blood is of very high quality! It will be an excellent summon!"
We both connected MP with [MP Share], and I cast my skill [Advanced Blood Control: Summon Blood Servant: Knight] while Redgaria cast [Advanced Spirit Control: Summon Undead: Lich].
Both skills fused into a big lump of red light and began to summon a new being.
This being looked like a Lich but enhanced by my blood, which gives it powerful red flesh around its body except from its head, which was still a skull, Redgaria told me that it was two times the normal size of a Lich and also came with ¼ of each of our stats, giving it a very strong base stat total at level 1. The name of this new Undead was [Crimson Blood Lich].
Redgaria replaced the Lich soul core with Herbell one, and sealed it inside, in some minutes, Herbell was able to move on its new body.
"Amazing…! Thanks, Kireina and Master!"
"It's nothing, Herbell, now you can interact better with your daughter"
Redgaria laughed.
"Hahaha! No need to call me "Master" again, Herbell"
It seems that Herbell's new body came with incredible power and resistance, even he was amazed by his new potential. Thinking about changing his class to a physically oriented one.
Redgaria suggested Herbell to change into some kind of hybrid class, or he would be wasting his potential.
In the end, Herbell ended up choosing the [Death Knight] class, which, despite its name, was a hybrid class that had both proficiency in physical skills and magic, perfect for him.
I asked Kajiya about a new set of armor for our new Death Knight, and she quickly gave us one she had already made long ago for practice.
This new armor was a powerful heavy armor made of [Dark Adamantine] and decorated with countless spikes, which also came with a red cape. Herbell looked like a real Death Knight from the deeps of Hell!
Kajiya also gave him a long sword named [Hades], fitting for the Death Knight.
Due to being my servant, Herbell was able to obtain new skills while eating with his new body. He told us that he would go hunt around the forest for the rest of the day, eating his prey and obtaining new skills.
Thanks to being connected by a [Soul Pact], I was able to tell where Herbell was almost all the time, if something stronger than him shows up I would rush to help him out. Because Zehe would kill me if her Teacher lost his body again due to my irresponsibility.
After having this finally settled, I told Redgaria to meet up at the Royal Dining Rooms, while I went to wake up my wives.
When I entered the room, I found Nesiphae who was still sleeping while my other wives were bathing together. I was worried over Nesiphae state, so I went to inspect her.
My wives told me that she wouldn't wake up but that they didn't felt any anomaly on her health.
But I could feel it, probably because of my developed [Mystic Eyes] I could feel as something was affecting her body, putting her on what I would call a "Spiritual Fever".
I quickly made around 5 of my Blood Fruits and feed them to her while she was sleeping.
Thankfully, they seemed to work as she slowly woke up. The scars on her body also miraculously healed completely. Even I was surprised over the sudden change in my blood, I didn't remember it being so powerful.
"Hmm… Master?"
"Nesiphae! I'm so glad you're fine…"
"W-What happened?"
"It seemed that you were having a fever this whole night, something on your wounds was affecting you"
At the end, I found out that it was the [Cursed Flames] from that bastard Undead Knight from yesterday, after he chopped such a big piece of tail from her, the cursed flames ended up entering her body, which slowed down her regeneration and gave her a "Spiritual Fever" that my normal senses couldn't detect.
I realized that my Blood becoming so powerful that it was able to even heal such a curse was thanks to my recent evolutions on my body. Due to my skill fusions, my flesh evolved to [Aquamarine Flesh], which had incredible regenerative powers and was very sturdy, this alongside my [HP and MP Potion Secretion], [Poison Immunity] and Nesiphae own [Antidote Flesh] were able to counter the powerful curse.
Even her tail slowly grew back as if nothing had happened, her scales still needed to grow back, so I could see her white skin below.
Blood Fruits made with my new blood wouldn't be so far of an Elixir, however, I still felt that I needed more skills to make it even stronger. To always protect what I love.
Nesiphae felt a new energy all over her body and jumped off the bed with all her strength towards the bathroom, of course, taking me with her.
I was glad that I managed to cure her curse in time, and that it didn't develop any longer. For a moment I felt as if all the power that I have accumulated saved me from a terrible event. A terrible loss that I wouldn't have been able to endure.
A strong feeling of attachment grew inside my heart, which made me hug my wives for several minutes while in the bathroom, they were confused at first but also embraced me on their arms. Feeling such a relaxing warm, I fell asleep for several minutes until Rimuru woke me up.
.
.
.
When we finally got to the Royal Dining Room, Redgaria was awaiting us while eating some pie with a bored face.
"You took way too long! I've been sitting here for two hours!"
My wives couldn't resist but laugh at the ridiculous man for some time.
We had a hearty breakfast full of delicious and classic preparations. I was already used to eating sweets for breakfast, these included Forest Berries Pies, Ice Rabbit Yogurt with fruits, Crepes with cream and more.
Nesiphae always liked to eat tons of meat, even at breakfast, eating a big grilled Giant Ice Rabbit, she seemed rather hungry after the fever.
Rimuru was with me eating sweet things, she also grown attached to these flavors.
Brontes liked a lot of milk on her breakfast, accompanied by cakes and bread of different types, alongside cheese and ham.
Zehe always ate simple preparations, which she grew attached on her years as a Troll, she liked a cup of black tea with some bread and butter, alongside two Apples. However, from time to time she stole some sweets from my side.
.
.
.
In the afternoon, I called Abellona and his brothers for something important.
I told them about the mission their father gave to me, and that after making Redgaria my slave and ally, it was pretty much done.
They happily nodded and accompanied us towards the Lava Hot Springs underground Dungeon were their father was sealed. I also carried Redgaria with me so he could apologize to the Wyvern Overlord.
My wives also wanted to meet with the famous Overlord and decided to come with me, I also took Wagyu with me as he was with us when the Overlord gave us the task.

When we finally reached the Lava Hot Springs Underground Dungeon, we felt a strong presence awaken.
Fluosh
Our hearts were suddenly filled with a strong pressure, however, unlike the previous time, we have become way stronger than before, and we were able to stand against such overbearing pressure just fine. Redgaria didn't feel any pressure at all, and the wyvern brothers felt a welcoming feeling.
As we reached the massive red door a strong and elder voice talked through our hearts.
"Aaah… Kireina… You are back… With my children too… And… Wait… Is he…?"
Redgaria didn't let the Wyvern Overlord finish and greeted him.
"So, you are the famous Wyvern Overlord, right? Hahaha! I never thought I would be able to meet you without the intention of killing you! This world is full of surprises, isn't it? Hahaha!"
The Wyvern Overlord was surprised over the personality of who once was his feared enemy. He remained silent for some time and slowly talked again.
"I never thought that such a situation would happen… It seems that Kireina has enslaved you…? I can feel it… Then, there is nothing to fear anymore… Kireina, you have fulfilled my task… You have my greatest thanks…"
I laughed a bit and looked towards the dissatisfied Redgaria, it seems that the Wyvern Overlord completely ignored him and only talked to me.
"It was very hard, but we reached an understanding at the end, Redgaria may seem like an insane man, and he is, but he also has a reasonable side"
The Wyvern Overlord seemed to laugh for a bit, but it was too tired to compromise on the act of laughing.
"Haha… I believe your words, Kireina"
Abellona and his brothers have been kept silent for the moment but couldn't contain the urge to talk with their father.
"Father! We have missed you so much!"
"We have become stronger for your sake, father, to avenge you! And to avenge our mother!"
"We will defeat the Human Kingdoms!"
The Wyvern Overlord laughed a little bit and released a warm aura that enveloped his children as if he were tightly hugging them.
"My children… There is no need for revenge… I was the one who let himself be sealed in the first place… To save the rest of the forest…"
Abellona yelled.
"But Father! The Humans did not fulfill their promise to the full extent! They killed every Emperor class and above monster in the forest! Leaving all the races completely defenseless! Due to this, tons of intelligent tribes died to the hands of the non-intelligent monsters from the outside!"
The Wyvern Overlord sighed.
"I know… But that is long in the past, Kireina has unified almost every intelligent race of the forest… This is more than what I would have accomplished if I were unsealed… My children, stop resenting the Humans… Please, let me rest in peace, knowing that my children won't run towards their death…"
The wyvern brothers were surprised over the Overlord statement.
"R-Rest in peace? F-Father…"
"So it's true…"
"Father, you are already on the blink of death?"
The Wyvern Overlord voice became slower and sadder.
"Yes… I would have died long ago if it wasn't for this seal… Although it drained my life force, it also has kept me alive this many years…"
Redgaria rubbed his chin with his thin hand and decided to speak in.
"Hmm… So what we need to do to take you out alive is find a way to unseal you without destroying the seal?"
I glanced at the necromancer with confusion.
"How is that even possible? Wouldn't his body be too weak to even move anyways?"
The Wyvern Overlord sighed once again.
"Its impossible, Redgaria… My body has already decayed into an irremediable state, the moment the seal is modified, I would crumble into dust…"
Redgaria rubbed his chin once again thinking about another solution.
"Hey, Wyvern Overlord, are you okay by becoming a Soul Core?"
It seems that Redgaria can extract the Wyvern Overlord powerful soul and put it inside a Soul Core, the wyvern would lose his skills and stats, but he would technically still be "alive".
After thinking it for a while, and seeing his children sad faces over their father died, the Wyvern Overlord ultimately decided to accept such an offer, as it would grant it the opportunity to remake his life with his children at his side.
The process to do this wasn't as complicated as I thought, Redgaria asked me and the wyvern to donate some of our blood as he created a massive magic circle in front of the door.
"Very well, Wyvern Overlord. Extracting your soul will be extremely painful, and it wouldn't so far to say that you would experiment with the same feeling as death for some time. Are you prepared?"
The Wyvern Overlord braced himself, and with the support of his children, he answered with a strong conviction.
"I will… Come back! I will protect my home once again, with my children… Yes, Redgaria, I'm ready"
Redgaria kneeled down and with just a touch of his finger, the whole magic circle was illuminated on a bright crimson color. At the same time, he chanted a powerful spell.
"Hear my call, oh supreme empress of the abyss, Hel. I call upon you to ask for a request. I offer you this sacred blood in exchange, give me the power to take the soul out of the living… [Forbidden Death Arts: Soul Extraction]"
Redgaria grabbed a big red sphere, that seemed to be the next recipient of the Wyvern Overlord, and raised it over its head.
Suddenly, a powerful force called upon the presence that was lying across the massive door.
A powerful orange-colored soul came from that place, as it slowly settled inside the Soul Core.
The big red Soul Core shined on a bright orange with some red tones, as if it were engulfed on powerful flames.
When the Wyvern Overlord regained consciousness, he was able to slowly float and speak through his soul.
I decided to appraise the powerful Soul Core, as I felt that the Overlord soul was incredibly powerful.
[NAME: Shadrach
[CLASS: NONE
[RACE: Rank 3 Blazing Overlord Soul (Red Spirit Crystal Soul Core)
[STATS: [Sealed]
[SKILLS]
[Sealed]
[Titles]
[Sealed]
After seeing its stats, it was obvious why his soul made such pressure, it was because he was Rank 3!
According to Redgaria, rank 3 Soul are incredibly powerful, even to the point of being able to materialize the mental image of themselves and create a semi-solid form to move around. Its power would be based on their Soul Stats.
However, Redgaria told me that even if he could materialize a semi-solid form of itself, it wouldn't be as strong as having an actual body, if he had an actual body, he could infuse the power of his soul on it, making it even stronger.
While the Wyvern Overlord used his soul to embrace his children, Redgaria asked him if he was okay by having an Undead body.
"An Undead body…? I don't think I could… I'm sorry, Redgaria, but I wouldn't like to be an Undead. It's just a personal preference"
Redgaria looked at the floating Soul Core with an angry expression on his face, as if the Overlord offended him greatly.
"Tch, you are just wasting your potential like that. With a new body, you could use your soul to enhance it, increasing its growth speed and magic power through the roof"
I offered the Wyvern Overlord with other bodies that could be implanted with its Soul Core, from Demon Slimes, Flaming Salamanders, Spiders, Trolls, Goblins, etc. But the old wyvern didn't like any of that, saying that it would be a disgrace to use such a weak being body.
Even Redgaria could be seen as having a displeased face, away from his usual relaxed demeanor.
"What with this old lizard?! If you're so picky you will never have a body again!"
"Then I won't… I will know when it's time to find a new body!"
I could see some hostility between the two growing in as I tried to stop the two from keeping the show. Meanwhile, my wives played around the Underground with the other Wyverns, unaware of what was going on.
Suddenly, an idea came across my mind.
"Ah! How about my sword?"
The Wyvern Overlord Soul Core flew towards me with curiosity.
"A sword? Hmm, how strong is it? Is it a legendary sword?!"
The Wyvern Overlord seemed quite fine by becoming a Legendary Weapon, as it would be ideal for his status.
I quickly called upon my Greatsword, and after some seconds, it came rushing like a silver-colored thunder.
Flash!
After checking on its status, I noticed it had already leveled to 50/50 and it was ready to evolve, according to the system, it needed my approbation to evolve yet.
When the Overlord Soul glanced at the majestic demon sword, I could feel his eyes shining with amazement.
"T-This is an incredible sword! It can even self-evolve? I take it! I take it!"
Redgaria couldn't believe that the former governor of the forest preferred an inanimate object than his precious Undead.
After discussing for a while, Redgaria ultimately agreed on inserting the Soul Core inside the Greatsword.
The sword conveniently enough had a small slot to put on a gem, probably to enhance its capabilities, and the Soul Core was able to fit just fine.
The Wyvern Overlord soul slowly expanded across the sword and quickly took control of it.
Suddenly, a system message popped out of thin air.
[Rank 3 Blazing Overlord Soul (Red Spirit Crystal Soul Core): Shadrach] has been successfully incrusted on your [Cursed Ocean Demon Bone Greatsword]
[Initiate Synthesis?]
[>Yes No]
"Synthesis?"
After talking it for a while, Redgaria told me that it was a way for the Soul and the Weapon to fuse and evolve at the same time. Readjusting the power of the weapon to the current Soul Rank.
Shadrach (Wyvern Overlord) told me that it was fine, as he could obtain new power. He didn't mind being my weapon at all and even was happy over it.
"Then… Yes"
Fluosh!
Suddenly, the powerful greatsword shined on a bright red light for several minutes, changing its shape.
After the light slowly dispersed, a completely new Greatsword was left.
Unlike its bony and spiky appearance, this new Greatsword seemed to be made of a shiny red silver. Its handle seemed to be decorated with the red scales of the Wyvern Overlord himself. And on over it, a beautiful Wyvern head was made using the save red silver.
The sword was engulfed on powerful flames and I could feel the full aura of Shadrach on it.
Ding!
[Synthesis success]
*This Synthesis counts as a daily one, resulting in only 8 skill fusions this night.

[NEW TITLES]
[Legendary Weapon] [Wyvern Overlord Soul]
Even Redgaria who hated the idea of the Overlord becoming a sword was amazed and fascinated.
The power of the sword jumped several leaps and even became a [Legendary Weapon] after its evolution.
Shadrach was so happy over getting back some of its power that it began to spin like a flaming tornado around. However, it suddenly stopped and activated its new skill [Wyvern Overlord Solid Form] has a powerful light emerged from the sword.
Flash!
The light expanded several meters until almost filling the whole room, and when it dissipated a new being that I've never seen before was in front of us. It was the true Wyvern Overlord at its peak of his age. His new body was sturdier and was made out of flesh, however, if one cut a piece of it, the flesh would quickly dissipate into the light.
The Wyvern Overlord reminded me of Abellona but it was three times as big, it had shiny dark red scales around its body, and its tail and arms had deep black scales. His back was covered on several spikes that seemed to be made of red diamond. While its wings were incredibly wide and had beautiful red markings across the membranes. His head was crowned with several golden horns. Every time the Wyvern Overlord breathed; I could see powerful flames from his nostrils.
Abellona and his brothers were amazed by this, so much that they began to cry with happiness, hugging the flesh body of their father, they could once again experiment his warm embrace.
"Impressive… I never thought that such a thing was possible, Kireina, this wouldn't have been possible without your incredible Blessing. Obtaining a skill like that greatsword through fusing so many skills gained with your Blessing. And when Synthetizing it with my soul, this new form was acquired. I can even take the shape of my former self at the peak of my age when I was a strong and brave young adult"
Although the new Wyvern Overlord didn't regain his full strength, it wasn't so far from my won power, I could already see us as equals in a lot of terms. But I was still superior in things like skills and spell variety.
After such events, Redgaria looked at me with an impressed smile.
"Kireina… You can change the future of others. Hahaha… I hope this can apply to my sister…"
I could see some grievance and sadness accumulate on the old necromancer's face as I patted his shoulders.
"Don't worry, you have proven yourself enough. I will make sure to retrieve her soul, with your help, of course"
Noticing the conviction on my eyes, Redgaria couldn't help but explode in laughter.
"Bwahahaha! Okay, okay! Relax there, "Heroine"! Hahaha! Of course, you will!"
"It seems like I cheered you up somehow, you look better when you're laughing and taking it easy"
While celebrating, a strong earthquake filled the room, making several rocks fall from the ceiling.
I quickly cast a solidified magic shield and protected everyone around.
When the earthquake finally stopped, the powerful magic chains over the dungeon door slowly dissipated into dust as the door opened itself.
After the door opened, we were greeted by the Wyvern Overlord bones and ashes.
Redgaria laughed at what remained of Shadrach original body.
"Hahaha! You really became a pile of dust!"
On the back of the big pile of bones and ashes, I could notice a very long stairs that went all the way down. Not even Shadrach knew how big was this dungeon he was sealed in. He told me that even after using its full aura to inspect the deeps of the dungeon, he couldn't find the last floor. He also felt several spirits that were in a similar position than him, being sealed inside while slowly draining their power.
Shadrach calculated that there were around 30 different floors, but he only reached 12 with his aura.
After talking for a while, the Overlord said that we were free to eat his remains, as he would be glad if it could be of any help. And so, we did, everyone did. Redgaria, Wagyu, my wives, and even Abellona and his brothers.
[You and the rest of your servants learned the following Skills]
[Wyvern Overlord Powerful Presence]
[Wyvern Overlord Pure Fire Heart]
[Wyvern Overlord Flaming Lava Muscles]
[Wyvern Overlord Vulcan Flare Breath]
[Wyvern Overlord Magic Reflecting Scales Armor]
[Flaming Overlord Magic Core Sphere]
[Heaven Shattering Flaming Overlord Lava Claws]
[Fast MP Regeneration]
Shadrach didn't eat his remains as he felt that he wouldn't get any power from it.
I saved the rest on my Item Box for the rest of my servants on the castle.
Although I wanted to explore this new dungeon (and possibly eat sealed spirits) I contained myself as it was getting quite late. We quickly headed back home with the Wyvern Overlord himself in person.
.
.
.
When we got back home, I introduced Shadrach to my people and gave him a small trip around the towns and castle, he was surprised on how much he has achieved in such little time, saying that it took him several years to even build his old castle. Sadly, this castle was destroyed by the Humans not so long after his sealing.
Leaving him in the same room as his children, I used the rest of the afternoon training on the Training Grounds with my Servants and Wives. Redgaria also came to train with us, it seems that after obtaining several "body-boosting" skills, that passively increase the strength of one body, he had slowly been regaining his strength, and even seemed a little bit younger.
The Rin sister summoned around three thousand Demonic Beings this time, which granted tons of EXP to everyone.
[You gained 156890 EXP] [The rest of your servants gained tons of EXP]
[You gained two levels!] [LEVEL 14/70 EXP 24262/76000]
[The rest of your servants gained tons of levels!]
My servants have grown so strong that they sweep through so many slimes as if it were nothing, and we ended up pretty early.
I used this time to eat the Undead Soldiers, Undead Mages, Undead Giants, and the Undead King remains with his Demon Sword shattered pieces. I also had the other Shadow Awakening Rings and was thinking about what to do with them. I still doubted eating them for the fear of a bad curse.

[Full Demon Armor Transformation: Four-Armed Death King: Legion]
"More skills than what I expected… And what is this last one?"
After trying the skill [Full Demon Armor Transformation: Four-Armed Death King: Legion], my whole body was covered on a thick and spiky purple armor, the armor also gave two new pairs of arms and legs, alongside two heads made of skulls. I could feel my power increase even more, but such a heavy armor made my movements extremely slow. Maybe it could be fused with other skills to become more refined.
While training and trying out my new skills, I discovered that each "Technique" Skill was able to give me both the proficiency over the weapons and every technique learned by the user. I felt a small guilt over obtaining something that took so long to develop so easily.
Even I couldn't believe how good I became using any type of weapon, from swords, axes, and even spears. I even imagined myself using my shapeshifting while having 4 more arms, each one wielding a different and legendary weapon.
I tried doing this but I failed horribly, as I needed a lot of practice if I wanted to use so many techniques at once.
I suddenly remembered that I had taken the weapons of the Undead Archer and the Undead Knight on my Item Box, and decided to eat them too.
[You learned the following Skills]
[Weapon Summoning Magic: Wind Magic Bow: Mercedes]
[Weapon Summoning Magic: Dark Wyvern Scale Demonic Axe: Vulcan]
Now I had four weapon summoning magic counting the Wyvern Overlord Greatsword, for a moment, my power got the best of me and I imagined myself as powerful goddess slaying countless of Humans wanting to take my family from me.
The power that Humans gave me was incredible, I wanted to eat more. Hopefully not being an undead. I wonder if I could steal their God Blessing if I ate a living Human.
My Flesh Minion Bats will probably be back tomorrow, I'm expecting their news. Redgaria barely had any news regarding what Humans Kingdoms live around us, as he has been living inside his castle for four hundred years, he's heavily outdated.
Thinking about my former enemy, I went through the castle looking for him.
I found him at the Royal Dining Room enjoying a small meal.
"Ah! Kireina!"
"You should be the one that knows the best about these, right?"
I opened my hand and showed Redgaria four different Shadow Awakening Rings.
The necromancer looked at me with a smug.
"Of course! I am an expert on making these toys… I was actually going to use them to obtain a Full Demon Body and travel to Hel, but my Soul Rank isn't enough"
After he explained to me what his true plans were, I finally understood why he wanted this Forest so much. Using the dormant Spirits, he would increase his Soul Rank to 3, obtain a demon body, travel to Hel and retrieve her sister.
However, I thought that it was a stupid idea from the start.
"Even as a demon you would had been easily killed by the goddess servants"
Redgaria laughed.
"Hahaha… I guess I didn't plan it that far"
"Anyways, come. I will present you a special and very talented couple"
I carried Redgaria with a Cursed Claw as we headed towards the Castle Royal Workshop and Atelier.
There, we were greeted by Kusuri and Kajiya.
I presented them with Redgaria, who they already know of their visit, but never meet with him in person.
Kusuri seemed quite relaxed but Kajiya seemed scared by the necromancer creepy appearance.
Without wasting any more time, Redgaria began to explain to us the steps on making the Shadow Awakening Rings.
It seems that he first creates a basic ring full of intricated magic circuits, he fills it with magic and seal it for a moment. Afterward, he uses his special skill [Forbidden Otherworldly Summoning Magic: Summon Demon Soul]. After obtaining a random soul, he inserts it inside a small Soul Core that it's the black-colored gem that every ring has. He puts a seal with his blood resembling an eye, and insert the gem on the ring.
"And it's done! That's how it is!"
Kusuri and Kajiya were surprised at how easy Redgaria crafted a new ring in front of them. And praised him as their new master.
Redgaria seems to be a very talented Alchemist and Crafter, having countless skills from those classes.
Due to this, I decided to make him an official Royal Alchemist, he will even get paid and all, and even get his own workshop.
The necromancer told me that he would be able to craft even more incredible things if he had enough Magic Cores, his [Recipe Book] skill was on an incredibly high level and contained more than one thousand recipes.
I asked Redgaria if there was a way to eat the rings without receiving the bad effects. He nodded in affirmation.
"Even though it would be impossible to do such a thing in the first place, thanks to your blessing, Kireina, you can eat these souls with your own body instead of your soul, which kills the Demon Soul and extracts its power into your body… The Curse is always left if the Demon dies horribly and in resentment… I could induce a sleep spell on them, and you could easily consume them all!"
"Eh?! R-Really?"
"Hmm! Actually, I already did it with some Rings I had laying around, and got the demons full power without a negative curse… Hahaha"
The skill to make the Demon Souls dormant was named [Forbidden Death Arts: Infinite Sleep], although it sounded quite dangerous, it didn't work on me, it can only affect weaker being than Redgaria. The sleep that this skill induced would only be dispelled by the one that casts it on you, making it extremely powerful in some cases.
Redgaria quickly cast the spell, which created a small gray colored mist that covered all the Rings in my possession.
"It is done! I really want to see what you get; I like to use your body as a guinea pig"
Although I wanted to beat Redgaria to death after saying that, I quickly ate the Rings in one gulp each, however, at the third ring, the system didn't let me eat anymore rings, saying that I reached my limit.
[You learned the following Skills]
[Marchosias Blessing]
[Legion Blessing]
[Abaddon Blessing]
[System Alert]
[You cannot assimilate more Demon Souls, by doing so, your body will deteriorate and ultimately disintegrate]
After telling this to Redgaria, even he was surprised.
"Hmm… Maybe you need to evolve more then, making your body stronger, you will be able to eat more demon souls"
Although I was disappointed by this, it made me want to get stronger even faster. I decided that tomorrow I will be heading towards the fourth and fifth layer of the forest, and explore its secrets.
I went to the Dining Room and had a big dinner with my wives. While eating the delicious preparations, I checked on these Blessings.
[Marchosias Blessing: The blessing given to those who Marchosias deems worthy of his power]
[Primary Effect: "Rampaging Flaming Demon Wolf": Grants the power of [Pyrokinesis], being able to generate fire without the use of MP or Stamina, only using your own Mental Energy]
[Second Effect: "Chimeric Body": Your body is now a Chimera, which grants you high affinity over the use of Shapeshifting skills, increasing their strength and duration]
[Extra Effect: Increases Speed growth by 30% per level]
[Legion Blessing: The blessing given to fierce warlords whom Legion deems worthy of his power]
[Primary Effect: "Tyrannical Warlord": Grants the power to command your servants and slaves with incredible proficiency, increasing their power and morale]
[Secondary Effect: "Benevolent Kaiser": Increases the EXP gained of your servants and slaves by 50%]
[Extra Effect: Increases the growth of Strength by 30% per level on all your servants and slaves]
[Abaddon Blessing: The blessing given to the most powerful of demons whom Abaddon deems worthy of his power]
[Primary Effect: "General of the Empire of Shadows": Grants an increased affinity towards demonic beings alongside a small Charm effect. Demons are more likely to listen to you]
[Secondary Effect: "Abyss Key": Any demon being following your command will have their stats temporarily boosted by 40% if they're fighting a holy being]
[Extra Effect: Increases HP and Defense growth by 20% per level on you and any demon being following you]
I wondered if my wives could get similar benefits, and wanted to give them some dormant Shadow Awakening Rings, but I scratched that idea after thinking that it could have a different effect on them. More experiments need to be done before risking my wives while trying to give them a small boost in power.
After having a hearty dinner, my wives dragged me to our bedroom and we had night activities for the rest of the night. Nesiphae was the most active one, perhaps because of the new energy she got from my blood.

This armor offers magic reflection capabilities (only weaker magic than Kireina's. If its equal or stronger, it only grants resistance) and increases Kireina's magic power.
