Because only the elites of elites took part in this battle against the titan skeletons, there werent any mishaps on our side except for No.3s unexpected run-in with my Nether Flas. Having tallied up our losses, we actually ca out without any deaths though there were a few severely injured mbers. Thankfully, none of them were injured to extent of No.3.
Now that the battle was over, it was ti to split the spoils. The biggest reward we gained from that fight were the soul flas of those titan skeletons which were, unfortunately, useless to the lizardn, the dusas and the demonic werewolves because they werent able to feed on souls.
In light of that, custody of those soul flas pretty much went entirely to . As compensation however, I planned to use the bones of those titans to craft more weapons for them. Because their bones were particularly sturdy, that crafting job might just end up costing more mana than expected. However, the end result of my labors should end up proportionally stronger as well.
Well then, Mo En, will you be able to evolve into a five-star if you consu this soul fla? I pointed at the nearly one ter wide soul fla as I said so. While there was only a single star of difference between the two levels, the difference in power, however, wasnt just a simple as one plus one.
It was worth ntioning that letting him have the most precious loot wasnt just to simply raise his combat strength, there was another reason as well. Mo En only submitted to because of Julia. To , his entire family were irreplaceable allies in this dangerous prison break. Yet before this, I had no way to express my gratitude. While it was true that I gave Julia the art of dark alchemy, that wasnt enough, not by a long shot. Thus, I ca to the decision to give him that soul fla.
Eyes curved into crescent moons, he smiled a silly smile as he gazed at that soul fla. Clearly, he wasnt going to reject it either way. Sure sure, I can feel my evolution coming already, I just need to eat that soul fla
However, just as I was about to hand him the soul fla
Youd better co clean here! Julia suddenly walked out of his shadow and slapped this deceitful husband of hers on the back of his head. Only after giving a thorough thrashing did she finally stop: Youd better co clean, if I see you lying to his Highness again, this wife of yours will break your leg!
Slightly confused: Lie? What are you talking about?
Its like this Julia glared at Mo En who was shuffling his feet about as we spoke before turning around to explain the situation to . A short while later, I roughly got the gist of what she was saying. Truth be told, I had so rough theories regarding this matter but didnt pay much attention to it before.
Why were there no life forms above the level of four-stars in the Prison of the Dead? Because of the restriction placed by the prison itself, thats why! Initially, I thought that once a creature reached five-stars, they either left of their own accord or were forcibly teleported out of the prison. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the truth could be so far from my expectations.
In actuality, the prison wasnt just a chain on our freedom, it limited our levels as well. Simply put, every creature was only allowed to evolve up to four-stars. Even if you were already a five or six-star, your level would automatically be suppressed down to peak four-stars upon entering the prison.
That was why Habona was able to match up so easily against what was supposed to be a six-star black iron titan skeleton. Those titans were strong, for sure, but their levels had all been suppressed to that of four-stars. Being at the sa level as Habona, their lack of intelligence clearly put them at a disadvantage especially given the epic-grade Shadowfang.
However, while their levels had been suppressed, those titans were still stronger than the average four-star devil. After all, while the prison was able to suppress ones level, it couldnt suppress the innate strength of a six-stars body. Given the fact that the titans were a race who specialized in defense to begin with, it wasnt at all strange that Shadowfang couldnt slice through that six-stars neck in one go.
Speaking of which, if Mo En already knew that he would never be able to evolve even after eating that soul flathenwasnt he just digging a pit for to jump into?
Turning around, I found a rueful looking Mo En staring right back at thus, I relented.
Forget it, in the first place, hes kinda pitiful himself. Because of his wife, he ended up having to serve for no rhy or reason. Besides, that soul fla was ant to be a compensation of sorts for him. However, since it cant raise his level, Ill just give it to soone else.
Mimiya, here you go, you can have this soul fla instead.
Before you ask, this wasnt trying to kidnap a loli with candy, it was just that her father couldnt benefit from it so I decided to have her eat it instead. As for why it wasnt Mo Xixidithats because it was Mo XixidiI did say I was a part of the Judging a Book By its Cover Society!
Mimiya can eat it? Eyes sparkling while they stared at this sudden boon from the heavens, she practically leapt into my embrace as she yelled. Arms and feet wrapped around my upper half, she proceeded to viciously smooch myface, of course.
As she did so, my eyes nearly glazed over from that unique fragrance of a loli:
Scram, you shaless woman!
Let go of this harpys hubby!
Elena is going to hit you.
Not long after I was stunned by that dastardly loli, my forced-upon- harem arrived on scene, wings and claws ready to defend their at. However, just as everyone thought that Julia was about to start another lecture, she instead revealed a radiant smile: Rember to treat his Excellency well from now on, got it?
mhm! Hehehe!
Looks like you gained another one. Violet Snow rolled her eyes back as she delivered her trademark emotionless tsukkomi.
After ssing around, it was ti to proceed on with the soul fla distribution. In just a few minutes, the remaining the soul flas were distributed as followed: the six-star soul was given to Mimiya, one of the fiver-stars was consud by while the other was given to Violet Snow. As for potato-faced Mo Xixidi, he naturally worked for free. Other than that soul fla I gave to No.3, the remaining titan souls were handed out to Big 4, Big 5, Nine-finger, One-eye and the Grimoire of the Dead.
In what was most likely a lack of soul flas, only One-eye managed to evolve from consuming his share of soul flas. Because the majority of his soul fla was expended to heal his wounds, No.3 wasnt able to evolve as well.
In his new form, One-eye grew a pair of red devil wings on his back and his body beca a lot bulkier. Assuming nothing else changed, his evolutionary path was most likely that of Mo Xixidis: the sin of Gluttony.
The fact that he was the first of my nad subordinates to evolve didnt co as a surprise at all. He was the strongest amongst them all and before eting , he was already the head of his own band of devils. His talents were naturally a cut above the rest.
However, the fact that Big 4, Big 5 and Nine-finger werent able to evolve still left exasperated. Having three more four-stars would undoubtedly speed up our future progress. Because we still werent sure about what hidden traps laid ahead of us, growing stronger was of utmost importance.
Being a three-star prior to eting us, Mimiya was naturally able to evolve upon consuming that six-star soul. Because she was born with the original sin of Greed in her, she was born as a primal devil destined to tread the path of an infant devil. Thanks to that, her form didnt change much after evolving; it was still that of an adorable loli.
In order for her to beco a newly-evolved infant devil, she would have to evolve to the level of five-stars first. Thus, her innate skills had only been partially unlocked. Her affinity with dinsional magicks had definitely increased substantially but it still wasnt to the level where she could teleport. In order for her to do that, she had to at least be a five-star.
As for the Grimoire of the Dead, it was a bottomless black hole just like before. No matter how much souls I fed it, it would never be full.
As for that five-star soul actually had no effect on at allundoubtedly, all those energies had been forcefully absorbed by the slumbering Fertinier within .
Naturally, she made sure to leave so scraps. As for how much that was lets have a looksie, about two percent? That damned womanno wait, damned she-devil, once you wake up, Im going to make you cough up the rental fee!
After reorganizing the army once more, we were now ready to set off.
What was once a giant black whirlpool was now an imasurably thick bone wall with a giant gate carved into it. The gate itself was over fifty ters wide and was already open as if it was inviting us in. However, that wasnt the only thing strange about it. The location where it appeared, in other words, where the black whirlpool used to be, didnt use to have a gate at all. In fact, when we first entered this cavern, those walls werent even there.
Even so, now that a road had opened up before us, we naturally had to take it. As for the way backit was already gone.
Theres no ti or mana to process those titan bones so I want the dogn to take them apart and carry them for now. Having dumped that task onto the dogn, I continued: The Abbadon Rodents will continue serving as our vanguard. Weslin, make sure you watch them carefully, I dont want any mistakes.
Alright, Ill be extra careful. She nodded her head and as she did so, she gave those thousand rodents under her an evil glare: Listen up, if you perform well enough, you will get promoted. As for those cowards amongst you who dont dare to advance, death on the spot!
Chit chit chit chiiit cccchit The ratman beside her furiously translated her words for its brethren who upon hearing its words, imdiately trembled. Chits flying about, they imdiately rushed towards the mysterious gate.
What did they say? Slightly curious, I turned to Violet Snow who seed rather bored right now.
Rolling her eyes at as usual, she said: They said: for food, for the does, we fight!
Does huh
(TL: Does: plural of doe. A doe can be a female hare,rat,deer, goat and so other animals.)
