"Dan, take off your armor, Jonathan, bring the cart over."
Jonathan lifted the gray cloth covering the cart, revealing the iron cages beneath, where tiny slis lay silently within.
Kael snapped his fingers, and his silvery-white gloves suddenly transford into a blade, slicing the iron cage in half. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
The Gluttonous Slis inside slowly crawled toward him, prostrating at his feet.
Or more precisely, they were submitting to the feet of the Gluttonous Sli attached to Kael’s body.
Behind Kael, a ripple ford, and a silver-white tallic mass slowly took shape, outlining a petite girl who wrapped her arms around Kael’s neck, laughing with a bell-like sound.
The crowd looked curiously at the Sli Girl who bore a resemblance to Kael.
"Just call her Aister."
That was the na Kael had given to this monster, and when the little Sli Girl heard Kael’s call, her otherwise unfluctuating expression showed a slight change.
The Gluttonous Slis below also loudly called out Aister’s na.
It was the respected na of the Gluttonous Sli Queen who had given them new life.
Normally, slis reproduce by creating new cores, a form of asexual reproduction.
Most of the ti, there is no such thing as a sli group.
Each of them is an independent individual.
However, the Gluttonous Slis establish powerful nests, and the stronger slis can infuse their essence into the cores of their subordinates, converting part of the core into their own substance.
Such influenced Gluttonous Slis will be directly controlled by the higher-ranking Gluttonous Sli.
It’s almost as if the higher-ranking Gluttonous Sli has split into a sub-entity.
Kael had not felt this situation with the Shadow Wolves.
The Shadow Wolves were more like a group of independent individuals, even with the Totem Power’s perspective requiring point-to-point influence to control them.
But Aister was different.
When Kael directly connected to Aister, he could feel that her vision was likewise connected to more subordinate slis.
This was probably why these slis could also absorb experience to so extent.
Because Aister was considered a part of him in the System’s panel, so of the System’s power was extending to her.
The most apparent was that she could also gain experience and grow.
And perhaps because of the sli race’s characteristics, this situation was further extended to the slis under her command.
Kael glanced around at everyone, seeing the eager expressions in their eyes, and smiled as he said:
"Gaining power cos with a price, I’m not joking. The secret arts of the Lionheart Family have given the power to dominate your lives. If under these conditions, you still want to fight alongside —
"Then co and receive the power I bestow upon you!"
Rangers don’t grow as fast as players? I’ll just cheat outright!
Aister being able to absorb experience and level up ans that the subordinate sli pups she controls can do the sa.
And the Rangers symbiotic with the Gluttonous Slis, while they cannot fully enjoy the power of leveling up, can still indirectly benefit from so of the upgrades by sharing in the Gluttonous Slis’ growth.
The biggest issue is probably that their future lives will be dominated by Kael, as slis don’t play by the rule of "the vassal of my vassal is not my vassal."
Being able to directly control Aister, Kael has complete power over these symbiotic Rangers.
But then again, is this a problem for the Rangers, or is it a problem for Kael?
No, on the contrary, it’s a ans for Kael to consolidate his own influence among his loyal followers.
"Then apart from Dan, anyone else who wants to receive this power, step forward."
Soon, the surrounding Rangers took their places in turn.
Kael pointed to a dozen or so of them, who were the quickest to step forward.
"Then you shall be the first to receive the power from my family, the Lionheart."
Just a mont ago, the seemingly quiet and pet-like Gluttonous Slis on the ground suddenly lashed out.
They leaped onto the arms of the Rangers, and amid swirling smoke, the knights let out muffled groans.
After parts of their bodies were assimilated by the Gluttonous Slis, Kael activated the Totem Power again.
Under the influence of Totem Power, those slis were then branded with the bloodline marks of their bodies.
A subtle sensation spread over the Rangers, and in a trance, they seed to sense the emotions of the little slis.
It was as if there was a mind-to-mind connection between them, and this subtle feeling peaked the mont the slis jumped onto them.
Parts of the sli bodies hardened into Armor, and their expressions subtly changed as they tapped on the Armor, almost feeling a vague touch.
They knocked a little harder but felt no pain at all, as if the Armor had always been part of them.
Dan, who had adapted in advance, slowly stood up, feeling the magic flowing continuously from his body into the Armor before him.
