Epic of Caterpillar-Novel

14 Blood Pac

| DAY 19 |

I woke kind of early this morning because of the big commotion going around the cave, because training activities start early and there is already tons of beings living here you can hear all of them talking or walking.

"Haahh… I should reinforce my room to be soundproof…"

Suddenly, a massive black colored wolf with more than five horns on his forehead and menacing red colored eyes entered my room!

"Gaaah! W-who are you?! Are you a new Emper- Wait, Wagyu!"

"Master Kireina, I have evolved once again!"

Wagyu ended up evolving into a powerful "High Midnight Demonic Wolf Emperor", this is why he had so many demon-looking horns all around his head. He also tripled his size, making him the same size than the largest Wyvern Titus!

"Gaah! You are massive Wagyu! You are as large as Titus now! Impressive!"

"Yes Master, I will use this new power to protect you even more! I will never leave your side!"

Even if Wagyu sounded serious and loyal, he was moving his big fluffy tail frenetically in excitement like a normal happy dog.

Pat pat

"Good Wolf"

"GAAAHH! M-MASTER KIREINA! HAS PATTED ME! I DO NOT DESERVE THIS!"

Wagyu became so excited it started to show me his love by licking me entirely with his enormous tongue!

Lick lick

"Guaaaaahh! This is gross! Leave me alone stupid dog! Guaaaahh!"

After checking Wagyu status I noticed that his stat growth as remained the same, of a fast physical attacker with decent defenses and low magic, resistance and MP. But there was something that took my attention.

"Wagyu, you got a blessing from a demi god?"

"Ah! Yes Master, I was surprised too, it seems that my existence was noticed by the Demonic Wolf Demi God, Fenrir!"

"I see, that's fantastic, it seems that the blessing increases even more your EXP gain and increases your stats growths per level up huh… (I wonder what all these God or Demi God existences benefit from when blessing someone. What's the point of it? Helping their own race like the Human Gods do?)"

Afterwards, we found Rimuru wondering around the kitchen eating loads of fried meat.

"Aah! Rimuru?"

"Mastaaa! I can talk way better nooow! Guuuu!"

Rimuru had doubled his last evolution size and multiple color pigments were fusing inside his watery body, unlike Milim and Ranga he didn't had any demon tail or horns, he still look like always but bigger and with more colors. His new race was "High Nine Elements Slime", unlike Wagyu; Rimuru ended changing his growth to a more jack-of-all-trades style with additional magic talent, kind of like me but more balanced.

After browsing through his big Stat Window, I noticed an interesting skill.

"Wait… shapeshifting? Can you change forms now, Rimuru?"

Rimuru finished swallowing a big chunk of meat before speaking again.

"Gulp… Yes Mastaa! I can change forms based on the beings I have eaten! Look!"

Fluosh!

Suddenly, Rimuru became the old Crimson Wolf Emperor!

"Wooaahhh! Is this for real?! You can really transform! Does it brings any stat change?"

"Nom Nom… Yes Mastaa, it rearranges my stats according on how these beings used to have they stats, but they don't increase…"

"Even if they don't increase it will be very useful based on the situations we are, that is amazing! I want that skill! I wish I could eat you!"

"Geeehehehe… No Mastaa! Don't eat me!"

Pat pat

"Wuaaaaahh! Mastaaaa! Pat me more! More!"

"Hahaha, since when did you become this adorable?"

"H-hey Rimuru, don't steal all our Master attention!"

"Rimuru! Master is for all us too!"

I was suddenly greeted by two little and adorable voices, they were Milim and Ragna that just came back from training. What makes beings I summon different from my normal servants is that they are obsessed with my attention and love, which monkeys or other wolves do not show much except Wagyu who is very close to me.

Milim and Ragna extended their sticky bodies and wrapped my tiny body in a strong hug!

"Guaaah! No way! Double slime hug! This is the worst! Get awaayy!"

"Mastaaaa! I will rescue you!"

The monkeys, wolves and wyverns that were around couldn't resist to urge at such an adorable and comical scene.

"Go for it Rimuru! Save Master! Hahaha! So adorable!"

"Hahaha, indeed, Slimes are really lovable creatures!"

"I wish I had my own little Slime to hug me like that…"

"W-what are you idiots talking about?!"

.

.

.

When we finished eating our meals I commanded all the leaders to go to the training ground to start the ultra-speed leveling training, I noticed that last time even after summoning more than 500 Beings it wasn't enough for everyone so I decided to summon around 800+ this time around. This time I also got two stronger variants, the two looked almost the same so I threated them as twins. I named them Benimaru and Shion, continuing with the tradition of naming every Slime with the names of the characters of that famous Japanese I used to read on Earth.

"M-master! We are at your service!"

"Yes! We will do as you desire! Guuuu!"

Shion seemed to be a healing magic and status ailments focused variant named "Sacred Flame Demonic Being", while Benimaru was a variant focused on strong and fast physical damage named "Ferocious Berserk Demonic Being".

I introduced them to the rest of the "Slime Family" as I like to call them now, Rimuru will instruct them on basic training and leveling up.

| YOU HAVE WON TWO NEW MINIONS! 19/40 |

"M-Master Kireina, I have come to report my progress…!"

"Oh? Are you… Kajiya?"

"Y-yes…! I have successfully evolved after the intensive training yesterday! I have also obtained a class "Novice Blacksmith"!"

"Ooohohoho, very well little Kajiya! You will be very useful to me!"

"Gueeeehhhhh…!"

Something on my phrasing somehow scared Kajiya who fainted on the spot!

"Ehh? I didn't do anything!"

Kusuri quickly came to take Kajiya to her bed.

"I am sorry Master Kireina, Kajiya is very timid for some reason… But I can confirm that I saw her working very hard to level up as fast as she could to serve you"

"Sigh… What I am going to do with her? She needs to relax a little bit… Well, when she wakes up tell her that there's nothing to fear here. Hmmm, here, give her this"

I give Kusuri a strange pendant that I made using different kind of monster's fangs.

"Master… Did you craft this?"

"I… yeah I have been crafting some times to pass the time when I am too tired to train, I was planning to give one of these for all of you, but for now give her this prototype, I hope it builds up some confidence on her"

"I see… such a benevolent Master… we are not worthy… snif snif"

"W-what…! Even you cry Kusuri? Sigh…"

Kusuri quickly carried Kajiya to her room, meanwhile the Wyverns have been watching me this whole time with happy and blushed faces.

"What are you guys looking at?! This is not a show!"

"Hahaha! I am sorry Kireina, but its too hear warming, we were not really used to see this kind of stuff in the Peaks, even if we were five, we always felt very alone"

"Indeed, this place… This family is really something else…"

"Also the food is good…"

"And the room is nice, it has even a bath!"

"Yes, it even bring us fresh fish from time to time, this place is indeed quite the paradise…"

"Geeh… I see that you guys are really enjoying all of this… However, you guys shouldn't be training? We don't know when the Trolls will strike us at any time!"

"Hahaha! There is truth in those words, very well brothers let's go train some more…"

After sending the Wyverns to train with the rest of the Teams I told Wagyu and Rimuru to take care of the cave for now, I needed to go alone to forest and test some skills by myself.

"But Master Kireina… What if the Trolls strike us?"

"Mastaaa… I wanna go with ya!"

"Do not worry, haven't you guys realized already? You two combined are as strong as I am! Now imagine all the super strong Squad Leaders! I will also leave for just some hours, do not worry"

"I… Okay, we understand Master, we wish a good travel then"

"Yeesss!"

"See ya for dinner!"

.

.

.

After arriving to a safe distance were my servants could not see me, I immediately changed directions and went to were the Hairy Spider Nest once used to be. Why? Because I wanted to test the new | BLOOD PACT | skill.

"Hmmm… its around here… Ah! There! Activate skill: | GATE OF BJARMIA |!"

FLASH FLASH FLASH!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Screeeeeeeechhhh! What is that? We are being attacked! Run!"

"No way! Our Empress is already dead and we can't give birth to a new one because that Demon possess her title! What do they event want from us??"

As the Hairy Spiders cried or screeched on fear, I slowly flew inside.

"It's her! It's the Demon! Run! Ruuuunn!"

"Hahaha! Not so fast!"

Flash!

I flew at max speed and appeared ahead of a big group of spiders.

"G-get away! Don't kill us! Please!"

"Shut up! Activate skill: | BLOOD PACT |!"

FLUOOSH!

Just before I said the command, big currents of green blood came outside of my body, the same happened to the spiders, all the green blood currents fused together into a bright red light!

FLASH!

"What's going on? Our blood?! What is she doing?!"

"Screech! I can't move! Gyaaahh!"

Suddenly, the big group of spiders fell on the spot, unconscious.

| CONGRATULATIONS, A BLOOD PACT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CREATED WITH 8 HAIRY SPIDERS!|

| AMOUNT OF SLAVES 8/40 |

"Oooh? So that is how it is… and there's a separate window for Slaves. So they don't get mixed with my Minions, that's pretty good"

Some spider's watched in horror as how I enslaved they fellow comrades and started to run away even more fast in fear!

"Demon! Demon! Run!"

Suddenly, a Hairy Spider Queen came and helped the other hairy spiders run away.

"Demon! I will stop you here! Brothers! Please run while you can!"

"Oh? A Queen? Do you know that running is useless, right? You attacked my family and my cave, the only thing left for you is being my slaves or my food, you choose"

"Screech! Screw you Demon! Fight me fair! Hiyaaa!"

The Spider Queen activated a myriad of buffs and attacked me with a strong tackle!

BOOOM!

"That's what you deserve, Demon! …Eh?"

As the Queen noticed that a fine shield made of magic was protecting my body I used | BLOOD PACT | right in front of her!

"Activate skill: | BLOOD PACT |!"

FLUOSH!

"Eh? Gyaaaaahhhhh…!"

When the Blood Pact ritual finished, she fell down unconscious in the ground.

| A BLOOD PACT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CREATED WITH: HAIRY SPIDER QUEEN |

| AMOUNT OF SLAVES 9/40 |

"Hmm this one was a nice catch; I can see that she have some potential"

Most of the Hairy Spiders were successfully able to escape, but it was useless anyways.

"What's going on? Why can't we leave?"

"There's a magic shield around our entire nest! No way! It must be that Demon scheme!"

"We have been trapped here since the beginning then…?"

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Mother! Why did you left us?"

I quickly flew to be the crying spiders were.

"Ah! Here you are! See? It was useless to run away from the beginning. Now… You guys have two simple choices; become my slaves, or my food?"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

The Spiders were so scared on the sigh of they loved Queen being unconscious and wrapped in thread in my side that they couldn't even say a word!

"I take that as that you want to be my Slaves then. Activate skill: | BLOOD PACT |!"

FLUOSH!

| A BLOOD PACT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CREATED WITH: 9 BIG HAIRY SPIDERS AND 2 LOWER HAIRY SPIDERS |

| AMOUNT OF SLAVES 20/40 |

"Ah, they were way more than I expected… I don't think I want more… Hmm? There are still some alive in the other side… Alright then, they will be this day's dinner"

| YOU GAINED 2963 EXP |

| YOU GAINED ONE LEVEL! | | LEVEL 25/30 EXP 1880?/3700 |

I decided to wrap all of the unconscious Hairy Spiders in a single big ball, as if they were still eggs protected by their mother thread.

"How cute… Hmm, where should I go now…? Ah, the Dark Squirrels"

I quickly went to the West, were a big and dark Forest Tree nested more than 50 surviving Dark Squirrels.

"The Demon! It's the Demon! We are done for! We are dead!"

"Why we can't escape? There is a barrier! It can't be! We are going to die!"

"Sigh, 50 of you is too much; I will just take… hmmm… how about 12? I still want some Alligators, they seem quite sturdy, could be good guards"

"Gyyaaaaaaahhh!"

| A BLOOD PACT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CREATED WITH: 3 DARK SQUIRREL KINGS AND 9 HIGH DARK SQUIRRELS|

| AMOUNT OF SLAVES 32/40 |

I quickly disposed of the remaining Dark Squirrels with a quick | GATE OF BJARMIA | until they became meat and bones paste.

| YOU GAINED 8565 EXP |

| YOU GAINED TWO LEVELS! | | LEVEL 27/30 EXP 2945?/3900 |

"Ugh, I took too many spiders; I hope they work hard making things with their thread"

After completely cleaning the Dark Squirrel Nest and destroying the entire Tree to make sure that no more could go there I went to the East, were the Foggy Swamp Alligators greeted me with their cries for help.

"The Demon! It's the Demon! He came for revenge! Nooo!"

A big King Alligator was attacking his own brothers to make himself an easier route to escape.

"Move aside minions! I am the only King left! You must serve me and become bait to the Demon while I can escape! Do not worry I will avenge you all when I become an Emperor! (Hahaha, no way idiots)"

"B-but King! Don't leave us to die! Please!"

"Shut up!"

Boom!

"Guaaaahh!"

"Hahaha! I already got pretty far, I just need to swim deeper and the Demon will lose me from her sight!"

Flash!

"Where do you think you are going? You are the only King here; you will make a nice Slave. Activate skill: | BLOOD PACT |!"

FLUOSH!

"Noooo! Gyaaaaaaaahhh!"

| A BLOOD PACT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY MADE WITH: SWAMP ALLIGATOR KING |

| AMOUNT OF SLAVES 33/40 |

"She got the King! We are doomed! Run! Ruuun!"

"We can't swim deeper! There's something blocking us!"

"What?!"

"Well, what did you guys expect? That I would just let you live? As if the war that you provoked did not ever happened in the first place. You must be delusional…"

"Shut the fuck up Demon! You are a horrible being that brings destruction to the Forest!"

"Sigh… Whatever, who are the 7 strongest between you?"

"I…"

"Bring them to me, and the rest will be spared, you have my word"

"Really? T-then!"

The Alligators quickly lynched the strongest ones, throwing them to the front.

"Well done guys"

SLASH!

Without them even noticing, I used | DEMONIC TOXIC FLAME CLAWS | and a big and grotesque claw made of purple energy slashed the rest of the Alligators in bloody pieces in mere seconds, forming a massive pile of blood, meat and bones, infusing the whole lake with a crimson color.

| YOU GAINED 5490 EXP |

| YOU GAINED TWO LEVELS! | | LEVEL 29/30 EXP 0535?/4100 |

"Ah! What have you done Demon! You give us your word!"

"My word? And you really trust the word of a Demon? Activate skill: | BLOOD PACT |!"

FLUOSH!

"I… Noooo! Gyaaaaaaaaaah!"

| A BLOOD PACT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CREATED WITH: 7 HIGH SWAMP ALLIGATORS! |

| AMOUNT OF SLAVES 40/40 |

| YOU OBTAINED A TITLE: SLAVING MANIAC |

| SLAVING MANIAC EFFECT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED, +10 MORE SLAVE SLOTS |

"Ah… I even got a title for this…+10 more slaves slots…"

After packing all the Alligators in threads and putting them all together with the rest of the Slaves, I decided to make a big hole around the Swamp so no more Alligators even are born here.

"I guess I should take some of the meat left, they are quite tasty… I should eat some, so many Blood Pacts drain MP and Stamina a lot…"

.

.

.

Meanwhile in the Training Grounds.

"Hiiiyaaaah!"

SPLAT!

Ding!

| YOU GAINED ONE LEVEL! |

"Nice! Level up! See guys? It's easy!"

"Oooh, Big Sister Milim, you are so talented on beating those mobs!"

"Hahaha! Of course I am! And so are you two! Give it you all little brothers!"

"Y-yes…!"

"Al right! Here I go! Hiiyaaaa!"

Benimaru and Shion started to slowly slain the Demonic Beings staying still.

"Oh Milim, how are the rookies doing? Guu"

"Oh! Rimuru! Good timing, they have been training pretty intensively, they are very promising"

"Very guuud… eeh? Mastaaaa!"

"Fueh? It's Master! He's back!"

Ranga quickly noticed too and went to greet his beloved Master, Benimaru and Shion quickly followed.

"Oh? Are those… Ah! No, please don't hug me again! Guuaaaaahhhhhh!!"

"Mastaaa! I missed you!"

"Master! What did you bring?"

"Did you brought something to play?"

"New food?"

"Food!"

Squish squish

"T-this! A five-slime hug! It must be their strongest move…! I can't… I am going… to die…?"

SQUISH!

.

.

.

When the Slimes finally left me go, I was able to introduce the new group of Slaves to the group. It seems that most of my servants did not like the idea of living together with their most recent war enemies, but because they all were my servants, they were forced to accept it and adapt themselves around it.

"Also, even if they are Slaves I don't want any discrimination or anything like that, you hear me? If I see anyone threatening them badly they will not get dinner for a whole week!"

After such a menacing order, all the servants had to agree (Except the Wyverns who did not had any grudges).

Before waking the Slaves up, I used Illusion Magic and | PUPPET MASTER | to manipulate they minds a little bit and erase the memories of their comrades dying by my hands before them, so they don't have as many grudges. I could not erase more memories because it needed a stronger type of magic it seems.

"Hmm, that should be for now… Wake up!"

"Gasp! W-where we are?!"

Find authorized s in Web，faster updates, better experience，

"Ehh? Is this the Demon Lair? We will become his dinner!"

The Hairy Spider Queen quickly woke up and confronted me.

"D-demon! Let my people alone or I wi- GYAAAAHH!"

A strong shock of pain covered the Hairy Spider Queen entire body!

"You guys are my Slaves now, if you try to defy my orders or attack me you will suffer the same pain all around your body, this pain comes from your own blood"

"You damned… Demon…!"

"Sigh… Here, you all must be pretty hungry, eat well, tomorrow you will work like Slaves, literally!"

"We would never eat… Eh?"

"T-this food…"

"It looks so good"

Crunch munch

"It's so good! What is this food? These multiple flavors?"

"This crunchiness! And this warm water, it has so many delicious flavors!"

"Hahaha, that's soup! Do you like it?"

"Its.. good! Slur slurp"

The brave Spider Queen could not even believe that her fellow brothers were already sold by just the food!

"…"

"Why don't you try some?"

I handled a warm plate of soup to the Spider Queen, and then she slowly started to drink it in silence.

"Ah… so warm…"

"Right? Well, from now on you will be instructed by a special leader, his name is Kekensha! Obey everything he commands you and you will be rewarded with delicious food and nice beds! How's that?"

Kekensha slowly approached the Slave group and greeted them politely.

"Welcome to our family, even if you are all Slaves, Master herself as ordered us to treat you like fellow comrades and brothers, and so we will do without questioning him, your duties will be…"

After Kekensha explained the basic duties, we decided to split all the 40 Slaves into four different teams designed to specific duties, from cleaning, kitchen helpers, alchemist and blacksmith helpers, carpentry helpers, guards and hunt team helpers.

In the end, I named the strongest four Slaves to act as Leaders of the four groups.

The Hairy Spider Queen was named: Jorogumo (The name of the Spider Woman Yokai in Japanese folklore) and she would be the Leader of the training and hunting assistants, she will mostly lead different races because most Hairy Spiders are quite weak, I hope this raises sociability between the Slave races.

I named the only Swamp Alligator King: Ganjo (Sturdy in Japenese) He will lead the Guards team, and will help the training team from time to time.

The three Dark Squirrel Kings were actually two, the third one was actually a young Queen, after a little contest of fighting the Young Queen was surprisingly the strongest, after picking the strongest King the third was left without a name for the time being.

I named the first Dark Squirrel King: Kura-en (Dark Flame in Japenese) He will lead the Cleaning and Alchemy & Blacksmith assistant team.

The promising young Dark Squirrel Queen was named Kaguya (Radiant Night in Japanese) She will lead the Carpentry and Cleaning team, because she got a lot of fighting potential, I also give her the permission to train with the others when she has free time.

After naming them all, I was surprised that they were not added to my minion list, which I am thankful in some way.

Thanks to Kekensha experienced and strict behavior the Slaves didn't revolt around and silently nodded.

"Very well guys, we still have half a day left, so Kekensha will slowly introduce you to all the facilities in the cave, afterwards he will instruct you all into intensive training to catch up with my weaker servants at the very least, that is all"

Kekensha nodded and led the Slaves though the cave.

Afterwards I went to my room and I found Wagyu waiting me.

"Master Kireina, please excuse my rudeness, but, are you sure that this is fine?"

"Wagyu… I know what you're worried about… "What if they revolt and stab us on the back" or something, right?"

"I… Sharp as ever Master, yes I am worried about if they are really trustworthy"

"Well, they aren't…"

"…Ah…?"

"They aren't trustworthy at all, but it's fine, they are connected through my own blood with the skill | BLOOD PACT |, if they even think about betrayal a big shock of unbearable pain will cover their entire body every time"

"Ah! I see, I didn't knew about such skill, Master"

"Yeah, I wanted it to be a secret for now, it's a special skill that let me Slave weaker beings, it's quite dangerous in the wrong hands"

"Incredible… but Master, why would you even make the Slaves in the first place, they don't deserve such kindness, Master is indeed very benevolent!"

"Hahaha! Yeah! I am an incredibly benevolent Master! (I hope he never discovers about the massacres)"

After Wagyu finally left my room, I relaxed and started to fuse skills.

| STRONG THREAD CREATION AND MANIPULATION |+| DARK THREAD MAGIC MANIPULATION |+ | CONTROL MINIONS |= | SHADOW THREAD MAGIC: CREATION AND MINION MANIPULATION |

"This… I added control minions because I thought it could give me something similar to the Hairy Spider Empress, but is it true?"

I summoned a Lower Demonic Being and tried using the skill on it, it surprisingly worked as I thought, I was able to control other movements like a puppet, even more efficient and specific than just | PUPPET MASTER |. In addition, I am able to create a stronger magic infused thread with lower MP cost, I can also choose to create the basic normal thread but it's at least three times as powerful as before.

"Very well, let's continue"

| CRIMSON WOLF BERSERK MODE |+ | DARK MOON DEMONIC BODY |+| OVERPOWERING DARK IRON BODY |= | DARK MOON DEMONIC MODE |

"Ah! T-this should be… my most awaited transformation skill! My own form change!"

I immediately activated the form change, and my entire tiny body grew three times in size in mere seconds, in addition, I gained several crimson horns on my forehead and my wings become black and red colored, each having a sharp appearance. I was able to realize that every of my physical stats and even my max HP were boosted through the roof.

"I should use this as a last resort; it will become one of my trump cards"

| MYTHICAL CIRCLE MAGIC: SACRED FIRE |+| MYTHICAL CIRCLE MAGIC: FIRE ELEMENTAL TORNADO |+| FIRE ILLUSION |= | MYTHICAL CIRCLE MAGIC: SUMMON HIGH MYTHICAL SPIRIT|

"Mythical Spirit?"

I did not knew what it meant until I tried using the skill itself, it seems to summon a completely different entity to fight on my side, this is different from the normal summon skills I use to produce servants. The Mythical Spirit summoned calls itself "Kjata" for what I can understand on his system window, it seems to be a Mythical Spirit Guardian, something similar to familiars. It can understand various commands but it does not possess a personality of his own, it can also level up and grow with me, and probably even evolve. If his HP is low, it will go back to whenever he comes from until I activate the skill again.

"I never expected this, I even have my own spirit summon like the legendary Summoner on my favorite RPG's…"

| RED GEM MAGIC RING |+| BLUE GEM MAGIC RING |+| SERAPHIN HEALING BRACELET |= | ACCESORY MAGIC: FULL DARK MOON DEMONIC SET |

"This one is rare…"

Just after fusing all these skills, the tiny rings and bracelet on my legs disappeared instantly, losing their effects. After activating the skill, a whole set of accessories appeared over 4 of my tiny butterfly legs, they were dark colored and had shiny gems incrusted on each of them.

| FULL DARK MOON DEMONIC SET: Grants +40% affinity to Fire, Dark and Water element. Full set effect: Grants skill | HIGH GROUP HEAL | Cost 40 MP |

"It's like I just synthetized the accessories themselves instead of skills… Synthesis is an amazing skill…"

| ADVANCED ICE MAGIC MANIPULATION |+| ICE MAGIC SHOT |+ | THUNDER MAGIC SHOCK |= | ADVANCED FUSION SPELL: SNOW AND THUNDER STORM |

"This one seems simpler"

Just as it sounds, I can create strong Snow and Thunder Storms, which I can control to shot incredibly strong Thunder shocks or Ice Spears.

"Hmm, these fusions were indeed the best ones yet, but I still wonder what I will do with all those weird old skills that are pretty much useless now… Like that Fish Scales one, or the Dry Skin one… Maybe if I combine a bunch of trash skills together something useful might come from it"

My minds inside my head were bored out of my procrastination and expressed their opinions.

"Hey Main Mind, why don't you go train? You are at one level from evolving"

"Yeah… Why haven't you noticed…"

"Hahaha! Silly as ever!"

"What? Really? Damn, it has been quite long since my last evolution, what will I become now?"

"I don't know but always pick the choice with the highest evolution future!"

I went to the training grounds, and trained with everyone until I hit level max.

| YOU GAINED 5295 EXP | | THE REST OF YOUR PARTY GAINED 2647 EXP |

| YOU GAINED ONE LEVEL! | | LEVEL 30/30 EXP 1730 ?/0000 |

| PARTY MEMBER: SERVANT RIMURU GAINED ONE LEVEL! | | LEVEL 4/30 EXP 0127/3900 |

| WAGYU LEVEL 3/35 EXP 1595/4700 |

"Evolution… Finally…"

The Wyverns noticed me and came in high spirits.

"Ah fellow Kireina, how is the training going…? Oh? You hit max level already. You sure grow quite fast…"

"Hahaha! We will not lose to you! When these Trolls finally decide to attack, we will be prepared and stronger than ever!"

"Yes, we won't lose, even to that Troll Emperor!"

"Have you guys went to the Squad Leaders meetings, right?"

"Ah! Yes, of course"

"Indeed, every Squad Leader is a strong and reliable person and they all trust each other, they have such strong bonds"

"Indeed, especially Kekensha and Kizuato, both of them have incredible battle experience and are able to create very intelligent and battle formations and strategies using the environment itself"

"Hahaha! I am very proud of these two!"

After I made sure that every Training Demonic Being mob was killed, we went to the kitchen and had a big feast to celebrate the 40 new members of the community, after some beer and good food even the Slaves were smiling a bit.

I assigned some guards outside and went to sleep.
