As we rushed towards the Undead King, he raised its sword at us, and casted a powerful and quick spell.
"Forbidden Gravity Magic: Reverse Gravity"
Flash!
Suddenly, the gravity surrounding his body changed, giving him the ability to float.
"Activate Skill: Dark Shadow Blast"
Outside its sword, a powerful concentration of Shadow Magic began to appear, forming a spherical form.
After the split second that it took the sphere to form, it immediately became a powerful blast of shadows, devastating the entire battlefield.
BAAAM!
The immense amount of power sent us all flying over the skies, while I watched as the blast hit the solidified magic dome protecting my Kingdom.
Thankfully, the magic dome was wide and strong enough, resisting the beam just fine, however, some cracks could be seen on the impact zone from the beam.
In that split second, I glanced over the Undead King, as it became stiff for a moment, while another shadow sphere began to form over its sword.
While flying on the sky, I reunited with Rimuru and Zehe, and used the time that the Undead King took to recharge its attack to strike.
I noticed that Nesiphae and Brontes managed to get far away, fighting the Undead Knight with all their might.
I decided to do the same, now that we got the Lich safely, I needed to end this quickly, as unlike myself, my wives do not have unlimited Stamina and probably already ran out of food on their Item Box.
As the shadow sphere over the Undead King became bigger, I realized that the bastard wasn't even looking over us, but was targeting my Kingdom and my people from the start.
"Didn't he want me?"
As we flew through the sky at max speed, the Undead King flew away, casting more spells while awaiting its Shadow Beam to recharge.
"Shadow Sword Arts: Hundred Hell Slashes!"
The King barely moved its hand, and suddenly, a hundred of dark-colored slashes rained over us.
I quickly used the shared MP with my wives to go all out, intercepting the King powerful attack.
"Advanced Fusion Magic: Fourth Elements Chaos Storm!"
Just before chanting the spell, I felt as time stopped for a second, and a rupture over the space itself began to appear, from it, a tiny wind of multiple colors leaked outside.
When the tiny wind managed to get outside, the rupture closed itself and the wind began to increase in intensity, in two seconds, a devastating storm of various colors fell over the Undead King.
The storm absorbed the Undead King Slashes and became even bigger.
As the storm fell to the ground, a massive earthquake began to spread across the entire forest.
BOOOM!
Even I was surprised over this spell, as this was the first time, I was using it. On the previous battles, I didn't want to use any high MP spells as to conserve this resource for a prolonged battle. But after seeing how the King didn't even cared about fighting us, targeting my Kingdom, I decided to go all out.
The powerful multi-elemental chaos storm destroyed everything around the forest, but specially targeted the King, following him at an increasing speed.
"Since when this demon had this magic? As she been playing with us this whole time?! Impossible! I cannot accept this! Advanced Fusion Magic: Shadow Gravity Storm!"
BOOOM!
The Undead King intercepted my Chaos Storm with his own storm spell, making both powerful spells crash like meteors, creating a thunderous sound that almost split the sky in half.
BOOOM!
As the two storms fought as if they were two coiling dragons, I noticed the Undead King slowing down again, using this second, I activated my Mystic Eyes, managing to paralyze him.
Spark!
The Undead King felt his entire body paralyzed for a split second, and three shadows appeared out of thin air in front of him!
"Hmm?!"
I raised my arm and punched the Undead King on the head, breaking its skull in half, then, I followed by two kicks on its ribcage, making its rotten internal organs sprout from the inside.
"Nnngh! D-Demon!"
The Undead King managed to cure its paralysis and using the Shadow Sphere, it tried to launch a powerful beam towards me.
"Now, Rimuru!"
"Guuuuuuu!"
However, the Undead King felt as if a giant arm hit him from above, it was Rimuru who shapeshifted her arms to the muscular Mountain Monkey Emperor ones, channeling her strength and mass into these arms, she slapped the King like a fly, sending it straight towards the ground.
BAAAAAAAM!
The Shadow Sphere that he was about to shot to me was shoot elsewhere, destroying an uninhabited forest section.
BOOOOM!
When the Undead King fell down the ground, it became berserk, throwing shadow beams and gravity magic everywhere, as if it were a machine malfunctioning.
Booom! Flash! Fluosh! Booom!
The entire night was suddenly decorated by the Undead King attacks, that resembled fireworks of various colors.
The Undead Knight quickly noticed its King behavior and tried to go to its rescue.
However, Nesiphae and Brontes were using all their strength to keep him at bay.
"Hhnngh! My King!"
I decided to finish the King as quickly as possible, flying down where he was like a rocket.
FLASH!
However, what I most feared happened.
A deadly dark aura began to leak from the Undead King rings, as this aura surrounded the King, it granted him with a powerful new form.
The unconscious Undead King body was covered on a thick and spiky purple colored armor, the armor also covered its sword, giving it a new size and power.
The second ring gave the King two new pairs of arms and legs, while also granting him two more heads and wings made of bones.
The once delicate-looking Undead obtained the form of a powerful dead god, looking over us with flaming red eyes.
Suddenly, on each of its arms, a powerful weapon made of bones appeared, and in others, he was channeling the power of a spell.
Seeing how my Chaos storm dissipated not long ago, I decided to quickly rain the bastard with my most powerful spells, before he could do anything else!
"Overpowering Sun!"
Flash!
I casted Overpowering Sun without a Mana Zone, which made it cost way more MP than it should, but I wasn't planning on keeping it around as I threw it over the Undead King.
CLASH!
The Undead King managed to resist such spell, using its bare hands, as the Shadow Awakening Rings used its Soul Energy as fuel to grow stronger, far surpassing their current limits.
"So, you can do that, huh? Zehe, Rimuru!"
"Guuuu!"
"Alright!"
Zehe and Rimuru casted their most powerful spells, devastating the battlefield around the Undead King, as it resisted every shot with its massive armored body.
I felt as this Undead King had jumped several tiers of power, becoming an existence very close to Overlord class!
However, everything in this world always has a cost, and the cost for this power was his own soul, I felt as each attack that the bastard blocked consumed an incredible amount of Soul Energy, quickly diminishing its power.
"As long as we kept attacking him, he won't be able to counter while wasting away its Soul Energy pointlessly!"
Rimuru and Zehe nodded as they kept using all their MP on the strongest magic they could. Generating thousands of rainbow magic projectiles alongside shadow meteors.
Using these seconds, I quickly replenished my MP drinking more than 10 MP potions, the last ones I had on my Item Box, I didn't even had time to open each potion as I ate the whole bottle, munching on the crunchy glass.
Noticing our plan, the Undead King yelled to the heavens while resisting my wives magic alongside my Overpowering Sun.
Raising three of its free arms, the bone weapons he was holding began to move on their own trying to attack us.
Each bone weapon had its own stats and skills, it was very similar to my great sword.
Suddenly remembering my great sword, I called over it.
After the fight with the Lich, my great sword began to spin without control, and it was currently destroying the nearby forest. After hearing my call, the lazy bastard came rushing at me with an incredible speed.
FLASH!
As the Undead King bone swords were about to attack us, my great sword came back right in time, fighting them off.
Clash! Clash!
The bone weapons were strong, surrounding my great sword and throwing different kinds of magic at it, from Shadow Beams to Fire Storms.
My great sword masterfully dodged most and took some head on, as it flew at max speed, crushing a bone weapon with its powerful sharpness.
Crack!
A strange aura came from the shattered bone weapon, and my great sword used this opportunity to absorb it.
Suddenly, its stats increased and it became sturdier and swifter.
"What was that?"
On a small second I glanced over my great sword skills and saw a very interesting one, named [Essence Devourer].
[Essence Devourer: Devours the essence of a strong being that the user previously killed, increasing its stats and gaining Essence EXP]
I would had loved to inspect my great sword in detail, but we were running out of time, as my great sword fought the rest of the bone weapons, ultimately shattering another one and absorbing its power.
Each time that my great sword absorbed the power of a bone weapon, the Undead King aura felt a little bit weaker.
I felt as if my great sword, one of my skills, was evolving while helping me, a feeling that I only experienced while fighting the Goblin Emperor being only able to use physical attacks.
"This strange feeling, what is it?"
Without pondering in the issue anymore, I glanced at the Undead King current status, it was getting weaker.
It tried to kneel over the ground, resisting the potent rain of spells, its armor was beginning to disintegrate and its limbs were getting weaker.
However, the demons inside the Shadow Awakening Rings were extremely vicious, they did not care about their wielder as they sucked more and more Soul Energy, regenerating the armor and creating more bone weapons.
When my great sword managed to shatter the third bone weapon, five more bone weapons came rushing at us.
When the Undead King felt satisfied about its bone weapon creation, it began to throw Shadow Beams everywhere, targeting our spells and my Kingdom.
BOOOM!
More than three Shadow Beams clashed over the magic dome, worrying me to death.
The dome was already showing clear signs of shattering, as more cracks appeared, big chunks of the dome fell down the ground.
As the Undead King prepared a new Shadow Beam, a majestic Light Shield protected the dome.
BOOOM!
Although the Light Shield shattered, the dome was intact.
"Its Kekensha!"
Seeing the surprised expression of the Undead King, I commanded all my Cursed Claws that were hiding around to attack it, while supporting my great sword.
Countless Cursed Claws grabbed on the bone weapons as my great sword used their help to easily shatter them.
I also worked hard, casting another [Fourth Elements Chaos Storm].
Space itself cracked again, leaking a small multi colored wind that quickly became a devastating storm.
This time, the Undead King was barely able to hold on.
The combination of my wife's spells alongside Overpowering Sun pressure and Fourth Elements Chaos Storm might made the Undead King flinch, barely resisting such power.
I suddenly noticed as the Undead King aura became weaker, and its soul was already on its last moments.
"One more push!"
"Guuuuuuuu! Rimuru is doing… her very best! Guuuuaaaahh!"
"Yes! I must keep on! Even if my entire body crumbles!"
The cooperation effort of my two wives created a qualitative change, forming a luminous light from their hearts.
"Eh?"
This light showed an incredible affection and love, alongside bravery and determination, it was their souls. The two were using their own souls as power to fuel their magic.
I also decided to follow them and use my own soul, using my Soul Energy points, I reinforced my spells, which gained a beautiful golden luster.
Crack! Crack!
The Undead King was barely holding on, its entire body was already becoming deformed by the sheer pressure, however, he reluctantly kept creating more bone weapons and throwing Shadow Beams, which Kekensha with the help of my servants doing [MP Share] was able to resist.
The only thing left that had tons of power was the Undead King sword, which was the one responsible for resisting each attack.
"I really want to eat that sword! Die already!"
Channeling a big chunk of my Soul Energy, I did the last push, creating enough pressure that the Undead King couldn't take on anymore and was flattened on the ground like a pancake, shattering its Soul Core on the spot.
BOOOOM!
I managed to deactivate my spells in time, creating explosions above the flattened Undead King, keeping its destroyed body "intact", sadly its sword shattered but the pieces could still be used.
[You gained 189562 EXP] [The rest of your party gained 94781 EXP]
[You Gained Three Levels!] [LEVEL 9/70 EXP 40852/66000]
[The Rest of your Party Gained Some Levels]
Rimuru and Zehe looked at me with tired and happy faces, celebrating our victory.
Kekensha and my servants were also celebrating, as the Shadow Beams finally stopped coming.
As the Undead King died, the bone weapons lost their power and dissipated like ash with the flow of the air.
However, everything wasn't done yet, as the Loyal Knight was still alive.
I noticed that the Undead Knight had various of his spots turned into stone, most likely due to Nesiphae petrifying glare, it was also missing an arm and half its left shoulder.
On other hand, my wives weren't any better, Nesiphae had lost a big chunk of her snake tail and was filled on bloody wounds, while Brontes lost her right arm and was bathed in a blood.
I needed to save them as fast as I could!
The Loyal Knight saw as his King died a horrible death, and in incredible rage, it used all it's might on a powerful attack against Nesiphae and Brontes.
Brontes was barely able to protect herself and Nesiphae from this attack using her Spirit Shield, sending both away several meters.
They both were left unconscious inside a big crater.
The Undead Knight yelled towards the skies, lamenting the death of his King.
"My King!!! My King!!! Uuuaaaaaahhh! My King! You damned whores! Die! Everyone must die! This is for my King! My King!"
The berserk Undead Knight activated its Shadow Awakening Ring as its entire body was covered on flaming crimson armor.
The powerful armor exuded a deadly pressure, burning everywhere they step in.
"Die! Die! Die!"
The Undead Knight jumped over where Nesiphae and Brontes where, raising its flaming axe, going for the kill!
However!
CLASH!
I was able to catch up in time, using my great sword, I intercepted the bastard flaming axe.
Thanks to my powerful armor, I was able to resist the might of the attack, however I felt as the bones inside my arms shattered into dust, feeling an incredible pain.
However, I was able to quickly recover them on place using the skill [Fairy Vampire Body Division], entangling my own muscles around my shattered bones, resisting the powerful pressure without flinching.
I could had easily used my [Phantom Form Transformation] to evade its physical attack, but if I evaded it, I wouldn't had been able to save Nesiphae and Brontes from their impending doom.
The Undead Knight looked at me with its flaming eyes almost spitting over me.
"Graaaaaaaahh! You are the demon! Die! Die!"
I called on my Cursed Claws as they flew towards the battlefield, using some to send Nesiphae and Brontes far away.
Clash!
The Undead Knight raised its axe as it tried to chop me in half.
However, I took on the hit with my great sword and pushed him back for a split second, using this opportunity, I used [Soul Penetration], causing heavy damage on the Undead Knight soul.
His flaming armor suddenly began to weaken as I used this opening to slash the Undead away, and jumped over it giving him a strong kick on its uncovered face, shattering its jaw and taking a big chunk of its head.
BAAAM!
The Undead couldn't react in time due to the soul pain, as it tried to stand up, its casted a myriad of Dark bullets that penetrated my armor, creating countless holes over my body.
Using my flinch, the Undead stood up and raised its Axe once again, to only clash it on the ground.
CLASH!
As I became a phantom and he wasn't able to penetrate my ethereal form with physical damage, although I still took damage from the cursed flames covering the Axe.
Using the confusion on the face of the Undead, I became solid once again and kicked its head, following with three slashes from my great sword, severing the arm holding the Axe.
BOOM! SLASH!
The Undead became desperate as it saw he couldn't use its weapon.
However, the power of its demon armor alone was enough for it to come at me with various punches, which were made by the armor itself creating new arms entirely made out of their material. However, I managed to dodge the blows with my ethereal form.
Nonetheless, the bastard was using this as a facade. By the time I realized it, he rained me over with its Dark Bullets once again, as it raised its arms infused with a powerful cursed flame towards me.
I managed to dodge the flaming fist and moved to the Undead left, concentrating all my Strength and buffs on my arm, I punched him on its ribcage, which sent him flying 5 meters.
Using this chance, I summoned more Cursed Claws and sent them over his body, two big claws grabbed its legs as they detonated, leaving him without a chance to run.
BOOM! BOOM!
"Uuuaagh! N-No! I can't die! I was going to avenge my King! My King!"
Having wasted away all my MP and barely having Soul Energy, I could only rely on my physical moves, as I abused my Cursed Claws, another one detonated on its torso, leaving him without any chance to move.
I slowly approached the Undead as I glared at him with a cute smile.
"Don't worry, you will be able to meet in the afterlife"
"Gyaaaahh! Go away! Don't touch me!"
I wanted to share the Undead body with my servants later on, so I decided to shop him on pieces, enjoying its cries of agony.
When I had saved enough pieces, I digested its torso and head with my [Bloody Lotus Digesting Juices].
The Undead could only see as its entire body melted by my juices enzymes, as I became stronger absorbing its flesh.
"D-Demon… Unforgivable… Die… Die… Unforgivable…"
"Sheesh you keep repeating yourself like a broken record… Oh! The bastard finally died…"
Ding!

"Humans skills are very unique…"
I discovered that the number in each human skill means the amount of techniques inside the skill itself, unlike monsters that have a skill for each attack, humans are able to learn a skill which can be executed in multiple ways, these are "techniques".
Another thing that took my interest is that each human was born with an "Inborn" skill, it seems to be a type of skill that they randomly get when being born. The Archer funnily enough had Sewing skill, while this Knight had a Cooking skill.
"Does this mean that I would be able to cook delicious food by myself?!"
Without wanting to waste much time, I moved towards Nesiphae and Brontes, both of them thankfully leveled up with the shared EXP, recovering their HP and MP, for Brontes it was her Spirit stat.
However, they lost limbs weren't regenerated.
"My poor girls, come. You two did excellent…"
Without them, I would had never been able to hold on the three Undead at the same time, they support became vital for this fight.
Rimuru and Zehe also leveled up and slowly flew at me.
They both hugged me tightly, after experiencing such powerful life and death battle, their hearts were beating intensively.
"It was so close, guuuu"
"Hmm… I'm glad we pulled out of this alive, Nesiphae and Brontes did their best too"
"They did, all of you are wonderful warriors… Lets go back to our home. Did you save the Undead King pieces?"
Rimuru raised her tired arm.
"Guuu! I did! Even the shattered sword"
"Alright"
.
.
.
When we finally came back to my Kingdom, we were greeted by my people with happy faces, having survived such big battle, everyone was celebrating such accomplishment.
However, I couldn't really celebrate with anyone, neither my wives, as we immediately went back to our bed and slept for 8 hours, I had an extreme mental fatigue after using my capabilities to the extreme.
[Day 36]
When I woke up, it was around 4PM according to the system universal clock, I quickly undressed myself and went to take a warm bath.
"Now that we have beaten the necromancer last battalion, what's next? Should I go straight for his head or patiently wait? How long will he take to produce more soldiers? Will he waste away his resources doing so?"
As I pondered on my mind, I gracefully bathed my pale and feminine body on the warm water.
.
.
.
Fallen Kingdom of Ollathir now known as the Dark Nation.
A desperate man sat down on his throne, thinking over what to do in such a horrible situation.
"Nnngh… So, they lost… Everyone lost… And the Lich betrayed me… Kireina… Kireina… All of my dreams and plans are being constantly shattered by your interference! I don't have any more Magic Cores to create Magic Mud and generate more Trolls or Goblins… The only thing I have left is myself… Hahaha… My body deteriorates each passing year too, and I've became weaker and weaker…"
As the man became more and more flustered, he fell down from his throne, showing its delicate complexion, almost to the bones.
"Aaah… Kireina… My previous plan was only in consideration if they won with heavy casualties, but not only Kireina is strong! But all her servants! Kireina growth speed is incredibly high, far surpassing the most powerful of human Heroes! Kireina is a total prodigy! A once in a life time being… I can't beat someone blessed and protected by fate… I simply cannot"
"At least… If she were to end up heavily wounded, with her soul almost dead, but she was fine, and came outside of it even stronger! I don't have a Kingdom backing me up like the Central Continent Humans… I am alone…"
The man thought about what to do, already throwing away the idea of confronting Kireina as it would lead to its complete demise, shattering its dreams.
"A wise man… Knows when to surrender… Huh? As long as I keep living, there will always be a chance to recover my sister soul…"
What mattered most to the man wasn't strength, neither riches, neither the world domination, but only one thing, to recover her sister soul.
"I still got things that Kireina could be interested… I cannot get myself killed… Even if… I have to lower myself… For my sister…"
The man only had the idea of a full demon transformation as means to travel to Hel, not to become stronger for the sake of it, if somehow, he could obtain a Rank 3 Soul without having to fight Kireina, he would gladly do so.
Suddenly, a ridiculous idea came across the man head.
"Join Kireina?"
"Sigh…"
The man looked over the undead girl at his side.
"Sister…"
After glaring at her sister body, the man was filled with determination, a determination that would make him move aside his pride.
"Alright then, Kireina. You won"
.
.
.
While I was washing my back, a sudden system message popped out of thin air.
"Hmm? Direct Message?"
Ding!
[Redgaria Frostbite has sent you a direct message]
[Read?]
[>Yes No]
"Huh?!"
.
.
.
Here it is! I bet you were surprised over Redgaria response over Kireina winning! He's a very strange siscon!
His character was never someone who desired power for the sake of it, but only for its goal to met again with her sister! Will Kireina allow him to join her? Thanks for reading!
Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know.

Ding!
[Redgaria Frostbite has sent you a direct message]
[Read?]
[>Yes No]
"Huh?!"
I couldn't believe what my eyes were watching, the necromancer itself, Redgaria Frostbite actually wanted to speak with me!
"W-What would this bastard want to talk about? How he will kill me or something? Alright, show it. Yes"
Ding!
A holographic message appeared out of thin air ahead of my sight.
Redgaria voice was calm and composed, but it seemed weak, as if a young man was trying to imitate a very old grandpa.
"Kireina. We talk at last. I have come to the conclusion that, due to my lack of resources and my weakening state, my possibilities of a victory over your convictions is closer to cero"
"I have lived for hundreds of years. And this was the first time that I have ever meet with someone with such an abnormal growth rate like yourself. You and your people are an incredible anomaly in this entire Realm.
"I have realized that fate itself have blessed you and I cannot fight fate, as I lack the desired Skill and God Blessing. And my Luck stat is on a negative value"
"I never desired strength, riches or this Realm domination. I have only desired one thing for my entire life. That is to live happily with my sister"
I was completely taken back after hearing Redgaria true motive, and how reasonable of a man he truly was.
"Your Sister? Is that why he annihilated his whole Kingdom? What exactly did they do to her sister?"
Ding!
Another message from Redgaria appeared again.
"Read"
"I can already imagine you having a very surprised face. Ahahaha… Yes, my sister. This is the only motive that has moved me through so many years. Since that fatidic day… Kireina, to show you my loyalty, I will tell you the truth about what happened that day, more than four hundred years ago"
I couldn't believe that this man was so old, four hundred years ago?!
Ding!
Another message was sent.
"Read"
"Long ago, on the times of old, the Ollathir Kingdom was a prolific country led by a powerful army. We had in possession countless dungeons that brought Magic Cores to us. Thanks to our military and monetary power, the Ollathir Kingdom was free to do whatever it pleased, conquering nearby countries and declaring war whenever the King felt like"
"Ah yes, you probably don't know but the Continent that we are living in is named Cretes, the border continent. This continent surrounds our whole realm and ends on the Snowy Mountain Walls"
"Going back to the topic, the Kingdom of Ollathir managed to conquer most Human countries on this continent and became an incredible Empire. However, all of this wasn't just thanks to our leader's intelligence and talent. No. It was due to the Blessings of the Demon God of Death: Hel, thanks to its unique blessing named [Luck Devourer], our Kingdom was able to devour the Luck and good destiny of other countries. Thanks to this, we were able to increase our Luck and make a positive destiny, with countless growth, predicting the total domination over our Realm"
"Hel required the sacrifice of 10 pure children born with a Human God Blessing every one hundred years to keep [Luck Devourer] on our side. And my ancestors… Happily did it, for hundreds of years"
"Hel loved the delicious soul of a pure child blessed by a strong Human God, which made her grow stronger. Other Human Gods couldn't do anything about this, as they were not allowed to enter her Realm"
"The Gods wouldn't leave things like this forever, slowly decreasing the quantity of God Blessings on our newborn children. On the past, the 2/3 of the population were born with a Blessing. In the last four hundred years, barely one child would be born with a Blessing every year, sometimes being threated as a miracle, what once was common"
"When I was born with a multiple God Blessings, every royalty saw me with horrible and greedy eyes, only my father managed to protect me from their claws. But this was different with my sister"
"My sister was born with multiple God Blessings too, but she wasn't the daughter of the Queen, being born from a whore that my father had relations with once"
"When her royal bloodline helped her raise to a royalty, I was able to meet her and I protected her my entire life. On a grim and horrible kingdom full of depravation, she was a beautiful light that illuminated my path"
"But… I wasn't able to protect her that day…"
"My… Sister was sacrificed at 9 years of age… By the most powerful Royalty Families, my father couldn't do nothing over it, and in some case, he didn't care. I remember his face that day, that indifference… You fought him yesterday, that old King, he was my father. I stripped him from his memories and emotions, yet he still remained his same nature, complete and total indifference"
"Due to the rage that the death of my sister brought to me, I went on a berserk state and one of my God Blessings kicked in, funnily enough, it was Hel Blessing"
"The power that it granted me was immense, this skill was [Otherworldly Soul Sacrifice: Hel Embrace] At the time that it kicked in, all the souls in our entire Kingdom were absorbed by a powerful Magic Circle, the strongest Knights and Champions couldn't do nothing against the power of Hel herself, dying with grievance"
"I certainly didn't want the entire Kingdom to die, but I didn't feel anything afterwards, the only pain I felt was seeing the dead body of my beloved sister, dying a horrible death. The Skill had only one use for the rest of my life, and it came with the terrible cost of giving me a [Undead Curse]"
"However, I see it as a blessing now, because it gives me the opportunity to one day retrieve my sister soul"
When I finished to read such long message, I was barely processing everything.
"Sigh… I would had preferred if he was just a typical evil guy or something… This is way too tragic, what kind of world is this? If he's saying the truth… But I need to tell my wives and servants first, I cannot do this decision alone"
Ding!
Another message from Redgaria came just after thinking this.
"Another one? Read"
"Kireina now that you know my story, I also want to ask you something. Do you have what it called, an "Epic" skill?"
After reading such question, I freaked out for a second, how did he know?!
"Hahaha, surprised? I can already imagine your face. Although I don't know the true nature of an "Epic" skill, I do have one too. Mine is named "Grieving Epic of Redgaria Frostbite: The Necromancer with a Heart of Gold" … Yes… That's the name, it's quite… Something…"
"Both of us are intertwined in what I call, the "Flow of Fate", some people call it, "The World Story" … It's a special skill giving to you when you were born, that guarantees certain events to happen, and connects your fate with others that share this skill"
"However, don't think that this skill guarantees your life, it doesn't do anything like that. It only activates certain events; it doesn't protect you from death at all. The only thing that can protect you from death in this world is your strength and intelligence, and perhaps, your companions…"
"This is why I have decided to stop this pointless attack… If I keep living on, I can still have an opportunity to retrieve my sister soul… Kireina, we are both slaves of fate. If we stick together, we can push fate towards what we desire… I know that you cannot trust me yet, but I will try to gain your trust, even if I have to become your Slave. I am determined to save my sister. Kireina, are you determined to accomplish what you desire?"
When I finished reading Regaria last message, an incredible question appeared on my mind.
"What do I… Desire?"
From such a simple but deep question, countless memories of my past battles and even my last life went through my mind.
.
.
.
One Year ago, Earth.
An old couple looked at a young man with worry. Although he had a job and a stable outcome of money, they couldn't help but worry about its future.
The old woman sighed while drinking a little cup of Green Tea.
"Sigh… My son, you don't really have anything in mind? At all?"
The old man also sighed and patted her wife back.
"My son… You really don't desire anything at all? Do you just… Want to exist? You don't want to become famous? Or be rich? How about traveling across the world?"
The young man looked at his father with a tired expression.
"Father, I have already traveled to Japan, it was a nice trip and all but I'm not into going everywhere… I like to stay at home…"
The old couple were disappointed on its son low standards and desires.
"Well... I hope someday, my son, you finally find what you desire, and protect that wish… With everything you have"
"Father… I… I'm fine… I'm happy, really…"
The old man warmly hugged his son.
"I believe you… But perhaps, one day, if that ever happens. My son, I want you to protect it, protect your wish, your desire. Okay?"
"Okay, father. I will"
When the old man finished hugging his son, he went to the kitchen and bought a pack of sweet cookies filled with cream.
"Well, having that aside, lets enjoy this nice evening, I also bought a new Monopoly!"
"Hahaha… You never change, dad"
"Hmm? What do you mean? Do you want to go to jail again like last playthrough? Hahaha!"
"Oh? I see some competitiveness on your glare, old man. Bring it on!"
As the father and son set up their game, the old woman looked at them with a warm smile.
"Whatever you desire my son, we will always support you"
.
.

As some memories of Earth passed through my mind, I remembered what my father once told me. To protect my wishes and desires.
"The most precious thing right now, is my family, my wives, my servants, my people… My desire… Is to protect them, and to that… I need to get stronger! I also want to explore this world… the Realms… And meet new beings, new monster to devour! There is so much left to see! There is not time to get melancholic! Alright, Redgaria, you bastard… You convinced me!"
"Hehehe… But first, you will have to become my servant, of course"
I finished bathing myself and went to wake up my wives, I saw their cute and sleepy faces and I couldn't resist but to kiss each one on their cheeks.
They quickly woke up due to this, with blushed faces.
"H-Honey?"
"Mastaa! Kiss!"
"Fufufu… What's with that out of nowhere?"
"Big sister kisses are full of warm love!"
"I need to tell you something important, please get up"
Zehe and Brontes began to pout because they wanted to sleep more, but Rimuru and Nesiphae quickly got outside the bed and undressed themselves.
"Fufufu… Okay but only if you bathe with us!"
"Guuuu! Let's go Mastaa!"
After hearing the idea, Zehe and Brontes got outside the bed at an incredible speed.
"Very well, Honey!"
"Big sister, let me scratch your back!"
I was surprised by their quick change in emotions.
"W-Wait! I already took a bath!"
Nesiphae approached me and sniffed my body.
"Hmmm… That's certainly true… But another bath wouldn't be so bad, come"
Flash
Nesiphae used her thick and strong snake tail to entangle me and dragged me to the bathroom alongside Zehe, Rimuru and Brontes.
"W-Wait! (Dad… Give me strength!)"
.
.
.
While taking a second bath with my wives, Zehe suddenly remembered her Teacher and asked me if I saw him somewhere.
"Teacher…? Ah! The Lich! I never took him outside my Item Box! S-Shit!"
Zehe looked at me with incredible anger.
"Eeeeh?! B-But how could you forget?!"
For the first time since she became my wife, I saw Zehe genuinely angered with me!
"S-Sorry! Please forgive me, Zehe! H-Here!"
I opened my Item Box and let out the Lich Soul Core.
Herbell seemed confused at first.
"Hmm?! Where I am?! Where is the Undead King? What time is it? Kireina! How long did you put me inside your Item Box?"
"Hahaha! I'm sorry!"
When Herbell (Lich), realized that he was actually inside the bath with all of us naked, he became incredibly flustered.
"Gaah! W-What?! Why all of you are nude? Y-You perverted women! Eh? Z-Zehe?!"
When Zehe glanced at her Teacher, she hugged him with her nude body.
"Teacheeer!"
Although Herbell was no more than a floating sphere, I could already see his embarrassed face.
"Gaaahhh! Z-Zehe… You have aged very well, my daughter…"
Hearing the perverted former pile of bones talk like that to my Zehe, I couldn't contain my jealously!
"G-Get the heck out of here, you degenerate former pile of bones!"
BAAM!
"Uuuaaaaaaah!"
With a single punch, I sent Herbell flying several meters, breaking apart the bath door.
Thinking that I would get the praise of my wives, I glanced at them to only find Zehe looking at me with incredible anger!
"H-Honey…"
"Z-Zehe… Hahaha... It was… A joke?"
Although Zehe is not a physical fighter, I can't deny that she has the basic overwhelming strength of any Troll!
Zehe raised her four hands and slapped my entire face until it ended completely deformed and swollen.
I could had easily blocked the hits and casted a defensive buff, but I felt that I deserved these slaps…
The rest of my wives attended me and Rimuru healed my face, but I still felt the burning pain of each slap.
.

When everyone took a bath and dressed themselves, we headed to my throne and called on my strongest and important servants. There were all the Monkey leaders, Abellona and his brothers, Wagyu, Kekensha and Yuki alongside the named wolves, Celica and Truhan alongside the Trolls and Goblins, the Slime Family, the Rin Sisters and even the Slave leaders.
Afterwards, I talked about Redgaria and its offer, alongside his entire backstory and what truly happened on the Kingdom.
Even though most of my servants hated the man to the core, they couldn't help but feel extreme sadness and even pity, the most sensible ones even cried for a bit.
With everyone there, I wanted to speak with the ones who were his former servants.
This included Zehe, Celica, Truhan, Herbell, the Trolls and Goblins.
The Trolls and Goblins that came recently were neutral about the subject, but some still had grudges against the man.
Truhan was also mostly neutral, but would agree with Celica in whatever she said.
Celica and Zehe were the most complicated of the bunch, as they harbored the most hate towards Redgaria.
Herbell was also neutral as he just recently joined us, and found out that an alliance with him would be mostly beneficial.
Celica had been planning her revenge for very long, and hearing such news shattered her convictions. However, after thinking it for a while, she thought about was what better for the rest, and her family, and realized that it was beneficial to make Redgaria our ally.
Zehe thought about it for a while but decided to leave it to me.
I waved my head.
"No, Zehe"
"H-Honey?"
"I need your answer, until everyone truly agrees, I cannot make that man my ally"
"B-But…"
"If you want me to kill him, I will"
After seeing such determination on my face, Zehe realized that I wasn't joking.
Zehe sighed and looked over the floor for a bit. Thinking about what was better.
She pondered for quite a long time, I saw her face change countless times, sometimes it was fear, worried, sadness, pity and ending up with happiness.
Zehe looked at me with a warm smile.
"I forgive him, let's do that alliance. But there will be conditions"
"I'm hearing you"
Zehe conditions were quite simple, she only wanted Redgaria to apologize in person with every one of its surviving servants, without exception, even to the tiniest of Goblins. Kneeling down, asking for forgiveness.
However, I had my own conditions too. Those were to give me everything he has and become my slave through Blood Pact of course. There was no way I would just trust him so easily!
And so I wrote a letter with everything that we agreed with my servants and sent it to him through the System Direct Messages.
In less than a minute, his response was ready.
Ding!
"Alright, read"
All my servants were around me in the time when the message came, reading it alongside me.
"Kireina, I have understood your terms. I will apologize to each of my surviving servants while also becoming your slave, all my things will become yours too. However, I also have my own terms, they're simple"
"Help me get stronger, help me recover a younger body and ultimately help me retrieve my sister soul in the future. You must shift your plans according to this in mind. And we must work together figuring out a way. That's all. I'm coming towards your Kingdom right now, I hope your people receive me with open arms, I can't wait. Hahaha. I haven't interacted with anyone in person for a while, only sending my sister undead to command my troops… I'm a little bit nervous."
After hearing the whole thing, I agreed with its terms, as they were simple and understandable. But everyone else was surprised that he agreed to everything so easily.
The terrifying necromancer that everyone feared has become so submissive and rational, most people couldn't believe that it was the real deal, calling him an impostor.
Some thought that it was some kind of plot and that we should be wary, receiving him with all our weapons and soldiers ready for a big war.
I couldn't deny their worries, as I had some too. So, I agreed with my servants as we prepared to receive him with our strongest warriors and spells, if he ever tries anything funny, we will blast him into dust.
.
.

As I awaited outside my Kingdom, I put another solidified dome over the whole town and send the non-battle citizens inside the Castle underground.
I was being surrounded by my wives and my strongest warriors, including Abellona and his brothers, Kizuato, Yukan, Wagyu, Kekensha, Yuki, Celica, Truhan, Meiji, etc.
Suddenly, I heard a cracking noise.
Crack, crack.
After everyone heard the same, they got into battle positions, raising their weapons and reading their spells.
From the dense forest, a massive caravan of undead appeared, countless cars made of bones were coming towards us.
As I detected what was inside the caravan, I found countless books and riches, from gold to precious minerals.
And only detected one strong aura, it was obviously Redgaria.
When the caravan finally stopped in front of us, a big skeleton soldier opened a caravan and took a delicate and weak man, wearing some tattered black robes.
His face was completely wrinkled but it still managed to have the appearance of a handsome young man, just ruined by these imperfections. His lips were dry and his eyes looked almost dead, glowing with a crimson red sometimes.
His hair was of a pale white and quite long, reaching his shoulders.
He could barely move on his own so he let the undead move him, from his same caravan a cute undead girl came from inside, she was wearing a gothic dress and had a look of indifference, as if she were a robot.
"She must be her sister… Or what's left of her…"
When the undead approached us enough, he kneeled down and left Redgaria walk for some time.
Redgaria raised his weak hand, greeting us.
"Yo! I'm Redgaria! The true and only! Haaah! What a lovely group you have, Kireina!"
His voice disappointed me as he sounded like some kind of teasing asshole.
"I expected his voice to be serious and intimidating… This day has been full of surprises…"
Redgaria laughed.
"Hahaha! So rude! Common, we are friends now!"
All my servants couldn't believe such carefree personality coming from their feared enemy!
The necromancer looked over my servant disappointed faces, as they lowered their guard.
"Hahaha! What are those faces? Did you really think that I was some kind of fairy tale villain? That breaks my already broken heart… Hahaha!"
I sighed; I can barely stand these types of guys.
"Sigh…"
"Common, Kireina! Don't get sad. Look! I brought you all my riches, and even my most precious magic books! Shouldn't you be happy? It's all you wanted!"
"Y-Yeah… But still… Whatever, lets do the Blood Pact and get over it"
"Sure"
I successfully created a Blood Pact with Redgaria, but I needed the approbation of the enslaved individual, this was the first time this happened. Probably because he was stronger than me in some things.
[Redgaria Frostbite has successfully become your Slave!]
[Slaves 52/120]
After the pact, Redgaria immediately felt that the effect of my blessing was shared with him.
"Oh? What is this? Is this the special thing that all your servants have?! Impressive! I can't believe it! Hahaha! I have it too now? Buhahaha!"
"Yeah, now shut up"
As if we were tired of dealing with the guy, me and my servants slowly walked back to our Kingdom, as I deactivated the Magic Dome.
Redgaria was surprised by our response, and yelled at us.
"W-Wait! I can barely move with this decaying body! Hey!"
.
.
.
Redgaria undead caravan created a whole spectacle inside the town, lots of people that didn't even know who he really was thought that it was some kind of show and even little kids went to interact with the undead soldiers.
Thankfully, Redgaria had them well tamed as they even played with the children.
He decided to do a little magic show and attracted the whole town in the process, becoming a small festival of magic.
He settled his undead everywhere and sold various useless souvenirs, like amulets made of bones and even basic mage equipment.
"The bastard even profited from it"
As if they forgot who he was, my wives were already dancing and buying things on Redgaria caravans, Rimuru brought me an ugly bone amulet, but the intention is what counts as I proudly put it on my neck.
"Guuu! Mastaa looks nice!"
Brontes invited us to go eat, as some of the money-hungry restaurant owners put small stalls of food around the magic festival, slowly transforming it in a true festival and the first in the city.
There were a lot of food that I didn't tried before including Takoyaki made out of Lower Eldritch Octopus. Fish Cakes made with Walking River Fish and even crepes with sweet cream and fruits.
After some sweet time with my wives, I found Redgaria going around the food stalls while enjoying strange food, obtaining new skills form the monsters they were made of.
"Hmm! This Fish Cake is phenomenal! Oooh! Mister Monkey! You are awesome!"
The Monkey attending the stall was a little bit uncomfortable by Redgaria personality.
I aproched him and asked how he was able to be here while he was on the center of the festival doing magic tricks.
"Oh! That's a special magic! It's called [True Magic Double]! It can even use some of my magic and skills! Isn't it awesome, Kireina?"
"That's quite overpowered! I should have really eaten you!"
"Hahaha! How scary! Calm down, Empress! Don't worry, you will be able to learn with my books, it will take its time though. Anyways, did you like my festival? I couldn't believe how deprived of entertainment you have your people! Even some strange and ugly caravan made them believe it was the real deal! Hahaha! They are all so adorable!"
Rimuru and Brontes nodded and agreed with Redgaria.
"Guuuu! I have never had this fun before!"
"Hmm! Big sister, did you plan this from before?"
"Uuuhh… I… Y-Yeah… I did! How could you tell?"
Redgaria slowly moved to my side and patted me on the shoulders.
"That's true! Your beautiful Empress is a very smart woman, you know? Hahahaha!"
I looked at Redgaria with regret.
"I should had killed this idiot"
.
.
.
Here it is! Do you like the true personality of Redgaria? Hes a funny and weird guy, isnt he? Maybe Kireina should had just eaten him!
