Bab 165: Cultivation Mentoring!
A day later Yuna, Rimuru, Shuna, Souei, Benimaru, Hakuro, Shion and Shizu sat before me. I had summoned them all on short notice, teleporting them all to me so i could share a powerful boon to our forces and cement our powers when we crossed. DND spells were on another level entirely due to the actual control of the elements and broad concepts that the Gods and Primordials held... Thus It was time to fully ingratiate ourselves within Cultivation.
Each of them were pensively looking at me, Yuna in nervousness as she disliked being away from the combat, away from her troops. Rimuru was concerned as to the nature of my call whilst Shuna was utterly baffled why she was here, she hadn't become a Demon Lord yet. Shizu was calm beyond measure as she clung next to Rimuru religiously, Shion doing the same on the opposite side. Benimaru and Hakuro were placid, unaffected by the immediate summons. Souei... He was the one who had really changed... He had gone from handsome to masculine with his ascension. His entire form was muscular without being aesthetically unappealing whilst maintaining his pretty boy looks. Alongside the physical changes were the metaphysical. A soft silver glow engorged his entire body as magicules swirled around it, his entire form shimmering in holy-like flame. It seemed he had become a True Hero somehow whilst away on the mission.
"Silviana, what have you gathered us for...? God am i sick of asking questions..." Shion sighed as she finished her small statement, her eyes flickering over to Rimuru, asking him quietly if he knew. He didn't.
"I am going to give you a path to increasing your power. Cultivation." Yuna widened her eyes and jumped up excitedly, her angel wings flapping out at the same time as our sisterly connection thrummed in expectation.
"Calm down Yuna. I know you are greedy for power sometimes, but this requires utter focus on what you are doing." She slumped her shoulder before withdrawing her wings and dropping onto her ass roughly, her eyes lazily staying tuned on me.
' "Cultivation?" ' This was the question that was on everyone's faces as they watched me and Yuna interact. Even Rimuru was out of the loop on this one, Ciel sitting at the corner of the room tilting her head.
"Cultivation, for those that don't know, is a method to tap into the concepts that make up reality and existence. For instance, flames..." I rose my hand and instantly summoned a flame, without Magicules. Everyone opened their eyes in shock as this was impossible in normal terms.
"It is, officially, a pathway to the ascension of oneself in becoming a higher dimensional being... IE, becoming Demi-Gods, Gods, God-Kings, etc..."
"Now! I am giving you cultivation of the Asura, a path that relies upon the draining of enemy's life force, skills and magicules. It is extremely powerful and could annihilate any of you if I were to direct all of my power at the mere idea of doing so."
"Okay... I am not giving you a choice in this. Follow me and we shall unlock the most basic version of the Asura technique, which is all I'm giving you."
They began to pout as I held back on them, but I ignored their whining. This shit was seriously scary and even I wasn't using it much because I did not know the effects that it could cause. Based off of its name it could even turn me away from Godhood and off into becoming a full blown Demon-God, like Monkey King or Daji.
"To start off with, you must focus upon your senses. Complete silence is required for this..." From this point I recited the beginner section of the Asura Cultivation to them, their auras shooting up as they soared into the first level, all of them gaining the smallest fragments and scraps of Spiritual Qi. This alone took two hours, my efforts spent in communicating ideas and concepts of Consumption to them in a simplistic way, a necessity for the Asura Cultivation.
Yuna was especially proficient at it however, her aura soaring into the second level of the lowest level, just with a second of being within said layer. It didn't stop either until she was almost at the limit of the lowest level, the pace halting immediately before she could raise her level.
"Ooohhh! Yes! I love this...! Mmm'kay! I am going back to the front lines." She disappeared instantly as the others all smiled or laughed at the energy flowing through their veins, energizing them and motivating them.
"Silviana, I am going to go kill a bunch of creatures to gain their traits!" Rimuru shouted out as he grabbed the hips of his two women, vanishing in a cloud of spatial magic as his destination layed somewhere within the forest of Jura.
Benimaru was no better as he requested that he be given a mount to go to the front lines. He wished to become a Demon Lord as well now, apparently...Hakuro soon joined in the frenzy as he followed behind Benimaru. Now there was only Shuna, Souei and Ciel left within the war room.
"Silvi... I think I want to go onto the front lines as well."
"Sure sweetie. Give me a kiss first!" She ran up and hugged me deeply, slapping her lips over mine as she dangled off of me a little. Eventually she broke it off, blushing profusely as I ran my hand over her cheek, pulsing my spatial teleportation in blue strips of light around her as she was sent to the front lines next to Yuna.
"Silviana-sama... I shall once again swear myself to you, as a subordinate Demon Lord!" Souei knelt down immediately once everyone was gone. His power was now much higher than only a few hours ago, the Asura Cultivation fostering his new gains as a True Demon Lord.
"Although there is no need for such a ceremony, I appreciate you doing it nonetheless! Now, I have some missions for you." He stood, looking proud that he had been accepted for his efforts and not sent out once again to get more powerful.
"I want you to help me communicate with the other leaders, specifically, their spies. I want us all to have a shared information network so that we can detect the movements of the Emperor."
"Understood. It shall be done."
"I am not finished, unfortunately... I want you to also monitor the movements of other nations through your network, specifically when it comes to the Demon Lord Cromwell and Guy."
"This will be done as well."
"I appreciate your aid Souei. Even though you are a Demon Lord now you still stay to help me, ask anything of me and I'll see if it can be done."
He was quiet for a time until he opened his mouth, concentration and conviction shining through in his gaze.
"I wish to learn the full extent of the Cultivation you have just taught us." I smiled in understanding. He knew how powerful and valuable that request was and he thus leveraged his connection and new oath to gain access to it.
"Then let us begin, shall we..."
...
(Yuna's Perspective)
War raged around the fortresses that we had recently created. Naturally formed with magic, these were very rigid and powerful against siege weaponry. This was an important factor as cannon balls and explosion rung out across the exterior wall. The Empire disliked anyone placing troops on the borders with them, thus we got this response. Fire rained from the sky as shield of water and other elements projected upwards from the hands of our mages.
Flying zeppelins and other rudimentary technology fell from the distant sky as Anti-Material Rifles slapped into the sides of the inflatable material and or the ship hulls below the balloons. Arrows skittered past every now and then, but they were a mere annoyance amid the distant sounds of musket shots. The Empire was technologically sophisticated in comparison to most other nations, making me hate them all that much more. Withholding technology that could save lives and then stubbornly, and hypocritically, saying that technology was dangerous even despite the fact that you were the most technologically capable? That was a fucking joke.
More soldiers of the enemy force got disheartened as 50Cals and The P2-whatever weapons blasted limbs from bodies and left men screaming in the field. Many of these weapons were designed for injury instead of killing, making the majority of the conflict horrifying to witness as men get hit once or twice and fall backwards dead as my Merciless Unique Skill collected their souls for me. The surges of power made this almost intoxicating despite the utter fucking stench that permeated the battlefield at this point.
Almost none of our soldiers had died as of yet, only the stray one or two that got caught in cannon balls or friendly fire. This was part of the reason why It was intoxicating... For every man or woman who charged towards us, they were already disheartened, already somewhat broken by the horrors of modern warfare. Like World War One, it was terrible for them... More aptly, like D-Day now that I thought about it. Another cannon ball whizzed past only to be stopped by a golden shield radiating from my sister's woman, Shuna. Speaking of Women, I had yet to find all of mine...
I didn't have time for that though as I saw a distant shimmer of golden light kaleidoscoping down from the sky. Being with wings on their back, hundreds of thousands... Began to pour down, massive horns blaring across space as my angelic side snarled in disgust, my Demonic side growling in agitation. The apocalypse has been called. Millions of Angels have come to cleanse the world. Armageddon is nigh.
"Shit, balls, tits...!"
