Upon Awakening
A new morning has come!
That nostalgic phrase appeared in my mind.
It's been a long time since I last felt the feeling of awakening.
I mean, since I don't need to sleep in this world, this is this body's first experience at sleeping.
I behold the scene before me, and see busy preparations occurring in every corner of the city.
Even a quick feel reveals pulsating strength emanating from their bodies.
That, I believe, is the effect of my evolution.
「Ah! Rimuru-sama, you have awakened!」
I hear a nostalgic voice.
And from behind me, I feel a nostalgic aura.
I was hugged from behind by two warm, soft hills.
Evolution hasn't changed my slime form very much.
If anything, my color became silver with streaks of gold.
So… I'm that, right? Gold Slime or something?
The one that can move at the speed of light.
Though that's probably impossible, I do feel a kind of "highest type of slime around" aura about me.
This me was sitting on top of Shion's lap, her cheek rubbing against mine.
Yup. It feels great.
But, thank goodness! As planned, she seems to have resurrected.
And I have become a demon lord.
Moreover, not just Shion, but every person felled by the Blood Shadows has successfully come back to life.
I had worried whether the success rate was affected by distance from me, so I'm glad everyone was able to resurrect.
Well, I guess even『Great Sage』makes mistakes. Though I don't mind if they make me happy.
While rejoicing at her rebirth, I also dutifully enjoyed the feel of her breasts.
A truly heavenly moment it was.
But as if intending to ruin this beautiful moment,
「Oh, Rimuru-sama, you have awakened?
But I must confirm whether you are fully yourself, or else we couldn't rest easy.
You should remember our code, don't you?
Now then, let me confirm.『How's Shion's cooking?』how will you respond!」
With an evil smile, Benimaru asks me.
Of course I remember,『It's horrible』right? Seriously, what a worrywart.
The moment I thought to respond, I noticed the peril I was in.
Hmm? Aren't I being held by Shion right now…?
If I say『It's horrible』… what will happen I wonder…
A terrifying image filled my mind.
Wouldn't she squash me out of anger?
Damn it! He got me!!! A classic Hiroaki styled trap.
What should I say? What would be a good response?
Right! Great Sage will certainly come up with a good answer.
I thought, and tried activating『Great Sage』but it did not respond.
What… does this mean…? Hey, Great Sage!!!
≪Announcement. Unique Skill『Great Sage』has evolved into Ultimate Skill『Raphael』
As a result, it has been erased and cannot be used.≫
Oh… so even my skills evolved.
But, Raphael, huh? Named after an angel; seems pretty amazing.
That aside, what's important is escaping this perilious situation.
Alright, Raphael, what's the best phrase to deceive Shion with?
≪Solution. After some calculations, an adequate phrase was not found≫
Useless~!!!
Great Sage was no good with these situations and Raphael is just as bad.
Honestly, so did the evolution affect the name without changing any parameters!
Of course, this exchange happened within a single second.
「Eh? What about my cooking?」
「Hmm? Oh, it's been so long that Rimuru-sama wants a taste, right?
That way you'll be able to show the results of your efforts.
Surely, he'll happily accept the meal?
And just a side note, I don't need any!」
Benimaru said such a wicked thing.
And to try to leave himself out of it… this bastard!
You know… just when I woke up in a good mood, to be sentenced to eternal sleep is…!
Shion happily accepted his proposal, and hastily ran off screaming "I have received his favor!"
I felt an unbelievable fear overtake me.
「Hey, what are you doing! No way I could respond『It's horrible』you know!
You purposefully trapped me, didn't you, Benimaru!」
「Hahaha, I have no idea what you're talking about. Well, shouldn't you have a taste after so long? Thanks to the constant taste testing that I do, I've recently acquired『Poison Resistance』…」
Benimaru said with a distant gaze.
A… are you kidding me.『Poison Resistance』…
Didn't you just equate her cooking to poison?!
What a tragedy. To find myself in it right after awakening.
Just after enduring one peril, to find myself in another?
The revived have come to greet me.
Though their aura has slightly changed, their personalities seem to be the same.
No lapses in memory, and their souls are properly attached to thier bodies.
However, each one has acquired the extra skill『Perfect Memory』
「This way, no matter how many times we die, we'll resurrect!」
They said as a joke… or not?
Extra skill「Perfect Memory」is a skill related to soul memory.
What is normally impossible, but they have now acquired a skill reserved for spiritual lifeforms only.
After each one offered their greeting, they all returned to work on the festival.
Whether to celebrate their new-found power or what, they decided to hold a festival.
But, when they started coming up with hilarious names for it, like『Maou's Birthday Party』or『Let's Worship Rimuru-sama Party』for example, I sincerely wanted to stop them.
Well, it's fine.
They can have all the fun they want today. After all, they are in very festive mood already.
For a festival-loving Japanese that I am, any reason is good enough.
Since coming up with some random reason to drink heavily is in every adult's nature.
I had offered to help, but with grand reverence they rejected my offer.
Well, I can't boast in my ability to prepare festivals anyways, so I'll rest up as requested.
Then, a person I have been seeing around here a lot ran up to me.
「Your awakening fills me with endless joy.
Allow me to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart for your rebirth as a demon lord」
He says, bowing deeply.
Who's that? Seems like a very high ranked demon, but I don't know…
「And please pardon the rudeness, but regarding my earlier request to become your humble servant…
How shall you respond? Have you made your decision?」
Becoming my servant… he says?
Umm, I do remember summoning one or two greater demons…
But no matter how I look at him, he's clearly beyond them?
I was sleepy back then and couldn't see very well, so could he be one of them…?
「Are you the one I summoned using the soldiers' corpses?」
「As you say. It was truly a delicious meal.
As a result, I was successfully able to materialize.」
「… Ah, is that so. Good for you」
What about the other two?
≪Solution. The〈Secret Revival Art〉was lacking the necessary energy.
Thus, and to fulfill their wish, they have been used and erased.≫
Wow.
Raphael is saying such terrifying things with such a happy tone.
It's even more heartless than Great Sage, and just showing off that wicked personality. And though I thought it useless a little bit ago, it has been supporting me from the shadows this whole time.
Sorry for thinking that you are useless.
However, to use up those demons that wanted only to be of use to me is just sad…
「Alright, got it. From now on you are one of my comrades.
What's your name?」
「Oh! You are too kind. But one such as I am a mere nameless demon.」
Hmm? A high ranked existence but nameless, huh.
Can't be helped. Let's give him a name.
But what name would be good?
Demons that I know of… There's the one that became humanity's ally.
There won't be any copyright violations if I use it, right? But, since this is a different world, I probably won't be sued…
Ah, whatever.
「Alright. In that case, you won't mind if I give you a name, will you?」
「Will you truly? 'Tis the greatest reward imaginable!!!」
His beautiful face curved in a delighted smile.
Yep, I really am predisposed to be loved by monsters.
Time to get serious.
This time, super car series.
Was it…
「Your name shall be Diablo.
Receive that name, and become my guardian deity!」
The moment I named him a considerable amount of energy escaped me.
I've really gotten used to feeling this. But hey, he took only half, at most.
I mean, I was worried that being a high demon and all he'll take all of it, but…
If I remember correctly, when I named the Greater Demon Beretta I was left with only a third of what I had; I guess a Greater Demon is also a high ranked existence.
≪Solution. Individual: Diablo was an Archdemon to begin with.
As the result of the evolution, Master's total magical energy amount has greatly increased.
Compared to the original amount, it is now ten times as large≫
Y-yeah.
Did Raphael just randomly decide to offer the advice… But, I seem to have said something inexcusable.
I mean, I'm happy that it is now ten times larger, but he took a half of that?!
This is… that, right? "Oops, I did it again" feeling?
Won't he become some absurdly powerful fiend.
The demon in front of me, kneeling, stopped moving. A black cocoon enveloped his body creating a perfect evolution posture.
Yep, I've done it again.
No cure for stupidity, so nothing I can do about this now.
Let's just hope that should it decide to rampage, that I'll be able to stop it.
Since the evolution did not look like it was going to end soon, I just left him there.
From now on: let's be careful about naming monsters!
I promised to myself but was confident that I wouldn't keep this promise.
Having completely forgotten about Diablo, I spent the time watching the festival preparations.
While everyone was merrily fulfilling their tasks, I was dreading the meal prepared by Shion.
And then, it came.
The feared, Shion's Cooking… also known as the most lethal weapon around.
With a bright, happy smile she brought me the meal(?).
Time to say my prayers. It's here.
Beholding the steaming dish,
「W-waaaaaait~! What is this? What the hell is this?」
That's not food.
I shall not permit anyone to recognize this as cooking.
A bunch of things flowing in the broth? Was she trying to make… Stew?
Listen girl, when someone questions your food, you've already lost.
「Hey, hey! Shion, wait. I have something I need to ask.
Have you ever heard the phrase "prepare the ingredients"?」
「Of course, Rimuru-sama! How does it look? Doesn't it look delicious?」
「You fool!
Why are carrots, potatoes, peppers, onions, and the other ingredients floating whole in there?!
So that you can tell them apart by looking or something?
You have to peel and cut them first!」
I screamed.
And when I saw Benimaru walking by,
「What's this all about? There's clearly been no improvement?」
Dodging my words like holy water, Benimaru shrugged,
「Nope, this is impossible for me.
I have hit a wall. A wall called reality.
I had never thought that something could be impossible, but this time I tasted defeat」
He said, scooting away.
What's with "a wall called reality" crap. Stop screwing with me.
I have to eat it, huh…?
When I look at Shion, her eyes are full of tears and she's trembling.
No choice, opening my heart to the unknown like a monk, I decided to take the first step towards nirvana…
「Got it, I'll eat it.
But, next time, please at least prepare the ingredients…」
「Umm, about that. I did try, but I end up cutting the building…」
「Huh?」
「No, the "Hercules' Edge" is plenty sharp, but it's a little long…」
Pointing at the odachi on her back.
She was cooking, no.,.. trying to cook with that?!
When I looked at Benimaru, he held up his arms as if giving up.
What an undependable guy. My opinion of him is quickly falling.
「A sword is not a tool for cooking. You get it?
Surely there's a knife around or something?」
「No, I am one with "Hercules' Edge" so cheating on it is a bit…」
「Ah, is that so. I thought of giving you a knife as a present soon, but I guess there's no need for that now.」
「I was wrong! "Hercules' Edge" is perfectly fine with me cheating on it, it said!」
「I see… I'll give you knife some time soon, so please use that to cook」
What a good person.
That should do it. At least, the ingredients shouldn't come out like that anymore.
If I at this food… no, I refuse to recognize it as food!.. If I ate this thing, I should acquire『Poison Resistance』I guess.
It'll probably be useful from now on.
No choice, I have evolved into a demon lord. I won't die from eating some food.
I change into my human form, and commit myself to eating it.
Steeling myself, I "welcome" some unknown substance into my mouth.
Without chewing, I swallow… Huh? Something's wrong.
It's pretty damn delicious.
N-no way! Though it looks completely inedible.
I open my eyes, and, with utmost care, eat another spoonful.
Delicious…
Benimaru was looking at me, as if praying. His eyes were asking me whether I was alright.
Which means that when Benimaru tasted it, it was really bad.
Shion has a triumphant smile on her face.
That did annoy me a bit.
「Shion, what is this…
Why, unlike how it looks, it tastes great?」
Fufufu, the thing is…
She said, and began the explanation…
In short, in the middle of the evolution, when she needed to express her dearest wishes, she wished for her cooking to be delicious.
I bet only she made such a wish during my gift granting ceremony.
What was she thinking, seriously?
But, I guess that's just like her; no, this is just who Shion is.
「Ehehe. Thus, I obtained this skill.
The name, unique skill『Cook』!」
I'm so amazed I have nothing to say.
To obtain a unique skill in order to cook, just how persistent was she?
When I asked about it, apparently no matter what she uses, it turns out delicious.
When Shuna found out about this, her eyes were full of tears of despair and hatred. Well, for someone who strives hard to succeed, such a skill is unforgivable.
But Shion has completely went off course trying to improve.
Well, that is just like her, I guess.
The day was thus in preparations of the festival, and we partied deep into the night.
Completely erasing the air of tragedy of a few days ago, the city with filled with smiling faces.
Youmu and Ellen also participated in the festival, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
There are a lot of loose ends to fix tomorrow, and we need to discuss the future.
But, not now.
Now, let's enjoy our lives to the fullest.
That's just our way of life.
The Freed One
Wouldn't Resurrection Festival work? My words decided『Tempest Resurrection Festival』as its official name.
We are planning on celebrating it every year.
And now, two days have passed since it ended…
There are a few problems that are giving me a headache. No, I'm being serious this time.
After a knocking sound came from my door, Rigurdo and Bester came inside.
The 14 yet-living assailants.
We are currently in the middle of gathering information.
And, all our "sources" are meekly confessing all they know.
It seems that Farmas Kingdom and the like have begun to beg for mercy.
Even the well trained Blood Shadows and Church's messengers quickly give up and confess when a demon is presented to them
A demon can inspire fear into its enemies hearts and thus control the soul.
While there is a chance to resist a greater demon and inferior, an archdemon like Diablo doesn't take "no" for an answer.
As a result, one usually goes mad, so they decided to confess all they knew rather than meet such a fate.
By the way, even if they had committed suicide, we can just directly manipulate their soul or tamper with their brains.
That, too, is a well known ability of greater demons, so no one is foolish enough to kill themselves before one.
So if you want to disappear along with all of your secrets, you'd have to kill yourself by completely destroying your body.
I hadn't thought that capture meant a complete leak of information, but it is common sense in this world.
So it would be an understatement to say that the spies of this world risk their lives.
Well, as a result, we were quickly able to obtain information from them.
As for the headache I mentioned earlier, that would be: what do we do with them now?
My wrath has subsided when Shion and the rest resurrected.
As a result, I lost the desire to kill the shabby old man and the church's dogs.
Wait, that list does not include the fanatics. Those die no matter what.
I cannot forgive the perpetrators of that incident.
According to the information we obtained, they were not ordered to attack the inhabitants during their "visit".
The orders came from Cardinal Nicholas.
It was simple: declare war.
But, as deploying the elite knights would require Hinata's approval, they decided to send their Blood Shadows pets instead, which lead us to that tragedy.
Thirsting for blood and assured of their superiority, they rampaged without being ordered to.
Which I found out just as I was thinking of treating the as prisoners of war or by some other martial law.
Moreover, the general opinion among us was, as we are not humans, we should live by monster rules.
Anyways, we can kill them at any time.
So I decided to investigate what other countries do in such situations.
Ellen and Youmu didn't know much about the internal dealings of the countries, so it was pointless to ask them.
That's when I remembered about Bester.
Thus, I went to ask his opinion.
Entering, Bester greeted me by saying,
「It has been a while, Rimuru-sama! What a calamity we have endured」
A calamity it is. It's not over, after all.
「That it was. There's something I want to ask, what are human wars like?」
I tried asking Bester.
I'm not good at haggling, nor is there a need to.
Thus, I heard about human wars from Bester.
First, members of Conference Coalition do not normally wage war.
For example, there's a rule that stipulates that a country has to declare the war at a general conference prior to beginning hostilities.
If this is not done, the country loses membership, and is recognized as a common enemy for all states.
Wars are easy to start, hard to stop. I'm surprised to see that phrase has become a rule.
For now, let's consider the situation where they did declare war at a conference.
First, they decide on a date for combat and use that time to evacuate civilians.
Next, they are not allowed to engage their opponent until the opportune date.
Information gathering and failure to abide by the above rules constitutes a violation of the Coalition's code.
As a result, the concept known as "spy" is generally considered to be currently absurd. Even if they do exist, they must always be on their guard to escape before the civilians are evacuated.
Any reported violations constitute transgression of the Coalition's code.
Well, considering such strict rules, they might as well say that spies are forbidden. Though what kind of spy chooses the profession expecting to be caught?
After the war has begun there are two kinds of wars: limited war and extermination war. (Well, there's also economic war, but let's leave that one aside)
Limited War is one which seeks to alleviate the burden on the civilians and restrict the battle to a designated battlefield.
It's kind of like a sport, the extremest of the extremes, though.
Of course, to prevent the overwhelming advantage of the terrain, the defending side chooses the field of battle.
This is also chosen at the moment the war has been declared.
The latter, the War of Extermination, goes by the "anything goes" rule.
It doesn't end until one state becomes the other's vassal or falls completely. Not something you'd want to choose unless you had no other choice.
In this case, whether you win or lose, you have to have a legitimate reason to invade.
If you don't, then it's a simple war of conquest.
And, you'd incur the risk of being attacked by other coalition members as a result.
In other words, this type of war rarely, if ever, happens.
But wouldn't declaring neutrality be optimal for avoiding conflict? Of course not.
The Dwarf Kingdom, for example, has advanced technology and great value.
Thus, they had to build up a power to resist those who would try to conquer them.
Powerless justice is useless.
But in reality, it would be hard to explain to other countries why you're declaring war on the neutral Dwarf Kingdom, and even more so, considering their military might.
Nobody wants to kill themselves by getting caught up in another's greed.
Thus, after some wars resulted in the creation of the Conference, which brings us to the current state of things
Such are the rules set by the Conference Coalition.
Now, what about the non-members?
For example, the Eastern Empire.
That's a military nation that increased in size by absorbing its weaker neighbors.
Coalition's Rules do not apply to this state.
It invades when it wants and tramples down anyone in its wake.
So it also makes full use of spies.
Death to those who disobey!
That's the principle they live by, so if the target state does not swear allegiance within a week, they immediately invade.
Luckily, their sphere of influence fails to extend into the Jura Forest, so there have been victims among nearby states.
But, considering what has happened to states that battled with the Empire, the Conference Coalition cannot ignore this threat.
The Dwarf Kingdom was somehow able to establish diplomatic relations with the Empire and so avoided a potential invasion.
Well, their military strength and strength of that king certainly has something to do with it.
Having heard this information, I can't help but think of the Coalition as a bunch of weak states coming together for mutual protection.
Powerful countries decide war and fate by their own strength.
Of course, even if they don't violate the rules, it's not like they won't deviate from them.
I see; I understood all of this to a certain degree.
Now, as for when the war has ended…
What happens to prisoners of war?
That, too, Bester had explained.
The Conference forbids the murder of messengers. That is true in any world, I guess.
Next, it's rare for a country's king to become a prisoner of war.
Even wars of extermination rarely end up in complete annihilation. Unless you're a fool, you'd surrender when the war has reached your own soil.
Refusing the surrender and slaughtering everybody would earn you animosity from other countries.
In the first place, a king that allows his own land to be invaded quickly loses the trust of his men and is disposed of.
In other words, since he's been dishonored, there's no need to kill him. That's how it is.
I see.
In that case, while I can just kill him off, sending him back might be a better idea.
「Thank you for your input. I'm glad you're here, Bester」
I said.
"No, no, not at all!" Bright red, Bester replied with a beaming smile.
Sorry, honestly, that's damn creepy.
I'm glad he's gotten rid of that sharp personality and mellowed out… but he really is just an old man.
「Oh, before I forget. On my journey to the Dwarf Kingdom, how much can I report?」
「Ah, as much as you want. They might have a useful opinion」
I gave my permission.
Even if we hide it, they'd find out eventually. So we might as well be honest from the start.
I thanked the bashful Bester again and had him leave.
That guy, maybe he's not bashful but just fascinated by me…
I had taken my human form half way through the conversation.
And, I'm not wearing the mask since it's in the middle of repairs right now.
No way… is he a lolicon? A terrifying possibility filled my mind.
I pray that's not the case!
I think about our earlier conversation.
If that's how it is, letting the king and the messengers go is the best choice… maybe.
I still have the unique skill『Heartless One』as well.
Their hearts have been broken long ago so they can no longer betray me.
When I though that,
≪Announcement. Unique Skill『Heartless One』has been absorbed by ultimate skill『Beelzebub』
Therefore, it has been erased and is currently unusable≫
O-oh…
Just when I thought I have gotten a useful skill.
To only use it once–for what purpose did I acquire it? Well, I did think that I didn't need it, though.
So that aside.
I feel that the skills that I have gotten used to have greatly changed.
There's a need to verify this. For some reason, I felt that urgent need.
Well, maybe we should release the king and the messenger, but that's something to discuss among all of us.
I left the 12 Blood Shadows to Shion.
After knocking some information out of them, she'll probably have me eat another one of her meals.
Using the『Cook』skill that she has recently obtained.
Doesn't she know that she doesn't have to feed me? Thats sickening… you know?
Having thus decided our next steps, I had Rigurdo schedule a meeting.
A conference of all department heads.
That's what I decided to do.
That being so, there's one more problem to solve.
I look Rigurdo in the eyes,
「How is it? Investigation going fine?」
I ask.
Not just my skills, but every single monster's abilities have greatly increased along with my evolution.
They were told by the "Voice of the World" about the gifts they were to receive.
Those with a relation to me probably includes every monster I have named.
Rigurdo nodded,
「We are still in the middle of surveying the population.
The women have been saying some incomprehensible things like their skin getting smooth and pretty or something.
Their vitality has certainly increased.
Those specialized in combat have acquired individual skills and squad unity skills.
Interestingly enough, the Goblin Riders and the Star Wolves have acquired the rare extra skill『Unification』」
Extra skill『Unification』means exactly what it sounds like, no hidden meaning here.
They became as if one being, able to move quickly on all fours and get a boost of strength.
Their strength puts them at about rank A-. Even the worst among them would dominate the B ranked.
Surprisingly, all one hundred have this skill.
Rigurdo's report continues.
Among the 100 resurrected–the children have all evolved into adolescents.
Perhaps this evolution was inspired by their regret at being unable to fight.
They have all obtained『Perfect Memory EX』and『Endless Regeneration EX』skills.
Though these are merely extra skills, they work well together.
That is, even if their heads get blown off, they can change into astral body state and thus avoid death.
In other words, they obtained regenerative abilities equal to that of Orc Disaster.
And there's a hundred of them. How absurd.
Thus, along with Shion, who got carried away obtaining this absurd ability, they have been calmly enduring intensive training.
I mean, we won't die! The boys and girls of the city told me…
I have no words.
Should I reprimand them or tell them to work hard?
Though they are only C+ ranked at most right now, I have a feeling that they will become our strongest squad yet.
They have even named their squad "Yomigaeri"–those who have surpassed death.
The 4,100 hobgoblins under Benimaru's command have evolved in an interesting way.
The strongest among them, 100 men, evolved into Ogres.
Just as the oni had wanted, probably; these ogres belong to the first village I had saved.
They are now Benimaru's personal bodyguards, and have been named "Kurenai' (Crimson). They possess rank A- strength.
And, as our vanguards with『Fire Manipulation』and『Thermal Resistance EX』skills, the rest of the hobgoblins are thus our fire squad.
Though they are still ranked C+, they are surprisingly powerful.
I had named them the Green Corps, but that's no good following the evolution.
That is, as Benimaru's subordinates, the red suits them…
The name "green" doesn't, however. My failure to think ahead led to this.
But hey, no need to think that far!
Monster evolution is unpredictable.
So in defiance, I had the Green Corps' equipment dyed emerald.
In the first place, color has no effect on their ability to freely manipulate fire.
The high orcs evolved as a herd.
They all obtained『Iron Wall EX』skill that allows them to create a protective wall out of earth.
Moreover, they also obtained『Full Body Armor』defense ability.
The inherited most of my resistances, noting that Physical Attack Resistance includes『Pain, Corrosion, Paralysis, Electricity』resistances.
So, if I have them eat a lot of Shion's cooking, would they acquire poison resistance? What foolish thing I thought!
Though there are individual differences, there are no problems as a whole.
They each can be evaluated as B ranked.
And this is when they have lived up to their "Yellow Corps" name.
A squad specializing in creating walls to ward off attacks. They are Tempest's main force.
As for Gabil's 100 Dragonewts,
Of course, they are at least ranked A- each.
They acquired『Dragon Knight Transformation』and『Flame Breath』or『Thunder Breath』abilities.
Though their efficiency dropped, their power greatly increased.
Honestly, I still don't really know what『Dragon Knight Transformation』does. Though they obtained it, they can't seem to use it yet.
I have a bad feeling about it, so maybe that's a good thing.
"So just use it when you're in danger!" is pure negligence.
Such a phrase is almost sacrilegious to Gabil and his troops.
But to think that they have also acquired flying abilities and can now shoot their breath from the sky…
Though they haven't obtained any new resistances, they did have high resistance to begin with.
With their scale armor being strong as steel.
Only a direct strike could penetrate their armor.
So being able to fly puts them at an overwhelming advantage over their enemies.
Their name, "Hiryu" (Flying Dragons).
Unfortunately, they currently might be our strongest unit.
And thus the report continued.
Seems like my efforts up till now truly paid off.
All I got from that was: our strength greatly increased. Just that.
Though we are not even ten thousand strong, we can easily crush larger armies.
Compared to the one I annihilated, we are overwhelmingly stronger.
You know, I'm not even surprised anymore.
Our only weakness is our small numbers.
Since we can't easily increase our numbers, that will cause us problems from now on.
Thus we concluded surveying the populace.
Next up: management…
According to Rigurdo, they are not yet certain.
Well, that's just how it should be.
Even I am not yet completely aware of my abilities.
Rather than worrying about others, it's best to worry about yourself first.
Requesting that Rigurdo continue the investigation, I left the place to verify my abilities.
I headed straight to the Cave of the Seal.
Meeting Gabil on the way, I ordered that no one intrude, and entered the cave.
Now then, let's call forth ultimate skill『Raphael』
I ordered that it teach me about the changes that occurred as the result of the evolution.
Here's what I found.
