[Day 119]
Today I inspected the living soldiers. The newly added humans are quickly adapting to our daily training programs, perhaps because they are nomads and have strong bodies. No nomad was fat or had any overweight, neither any kind of respirational disease. Well, most likely because I ate all the ill and weak looking… I left Yisu and Altani taking care of them.
Some goblins have evolved already, although some have been stuck into goblins for a long time already, perhaps they can't evolve yet? I can't think of that being possible.
Aside from Hobgoblin warriors, there are mages and very rare healers. Aside from these, there is also a new type of Hobgoblin, named Hobgoblin Raider, these are Goblins who had a very high affinity on riding creatures.
On the Troll department, they are mostly strong warriors, defenders and berserkers are the most, with some swordsman and the extremely rare Troll Shaman or Witch. Trolls usually don't evolve as fast as Goblins, so most of the newborn Trolls are still Trolls, but they have already grown up to adult stages.
The Trolls that evolved into Ogres and Half-Lords are quite rare and don't surpass the twenty out of more than two hundred.
In the Merfolk department, things are different. Some of the very talented younglings have already evolved. Although they "evolved" forms are just adult forms and an enhanced species of its already existing one, without any physical changes outside of the sudden jump from children to the adult stage.
It seems that the merfolk didn't know that such a thing was possible, and awaited a lot of years to grow into the adult stage…
Other monster-like creatures like Snakeman, Lizardmen, and such have grown strong too, and the different tribes are slowly accepting each other. Although there aren't mixed couples yet, I'm positive that it will happen soon. They still got a long way to go for evolution, but the strongest ones are working very hard to achieve this goal.
The Arachne, Gale Bird Harpy, and Flame Salamander lizardman are doing pretty good. Their adaptation to a humanoid body has been swift.
The Arachne is mostly working on sewing and creating clothes, while others attend the castle needs and work as assistants to different shops this work, however, still grants them EXP passively, so some will evolve again sooner or later.
Gale Bird Harpies are named Valkyries, as they have both arms and wings, the strongest of the group which I named Viento has been practicing various types of weapons, and after countless training and practice, it seems like the Gale Bird Valkyries are proficient on light weapons like short swords, bows, and lances. There is already a team dedicated to reconnaissance due to their superb flying capabilities, which I paired with the Griffon squads.
The Flame Salamander lizardman, who looks more humanoid than the usual lizardman, is also growing strong. Because of their giant hands filled with powerful claws, they cannot wield weapons without melting them with their power. At best, they can wield giant axes or maces with [Fire Immunity] attribute, but because that's too costly, they have been put to learn fist combat techniques with the Qayag Tribe folk. Because of their destructive physical capabilities and strong magic, these people are very versatile and capable of various works, from berserk, tanks, and long-ranged mages.
From these three tribes, various irregulars didn't evolve into humanoids but evolved further into monster-like creatures. Even if they are not humanoids, they are as welcomed as always here, and their strength and experience make them sometimes better than the humanoid evolutions.
Monkeys are also been multiplying faster, there are tons of new monkey rookies. The amazing thing about monkeys is their diversity of classes and variants. Which seem to be inherited from their parents.
Recently, some of the old monkeys of the generation when I recruited them have evolved in what is called monkey man. They are classified as demi-human and not as monsters. They also possess very humanoid characteristics and almost resemble humans if it weren't for their big round ears. Some of the monkey girls resemble humans quite a lot.
Most of the monkeys that I named evolved into monkey men. This includes Yukan, Kizuato, Goruden, Jinsoku, Meiji, Chokumotsu, Kaen, Shokunin, Kusuri, and Kajiya.
Aaah… I was so used to their adorable monkey appearances, now they really look like humans with some extra hair. Chokumotsu and Kajiya have become such beautiful women too. Yukan and Kizuato resemble brown-skinned very muscular men. Both of them kept their gorilla-like nose, which is rare now, as most of the monkey men actually have pointed human noses. Goruden and Jinsoku look like very slim and handsome adult men, Meiji resembles a gentle young man, Kean looks like a cheerful and muscular guy and Shokuning looks like a very burly old man.
Wolves have also grown incredibly fast. And thanks to the skill [Goblin Sexual Thirst], they can keep reproducing no matter the season. Due to the incredible variety of wolves, some ended up evolving into humanoid-like too, although these are few compared to other races. Yuki and its partner are one example of this, they became Werewolf and obtained the skill [Shapeshift]. They can transform into a wolf, a humanoid, and a mix of the two.
Their children will also have this skill, which will create a new family of Werewolves on the Kingdom, so I incentive every Werewolf to keep making children, I will support them monetarily in anything, so there is no problem.
The remaining wolves are still needed, as they are extremely strong and have several talents in magic and such. And because of their intelligence, they came excellent mounts, so I began to pair them up with Hobgoblin Raiders.
Oh, and about mounts, they have been steadily gaining EXP, as I let them go wild near the forest, and then they come back on the night.
Some mounts have already evolved, taking the traits of their masters.
The scattered demi-humans have been training very hard and are steadily growing in strength. However, they have begun to explore the new dungeon that appeared on a neighbor mountain.
The Harpy Girl, for example, has been gaining an incredible amount of power with each level and doesn't resemble at all who she was before.
I think that she is destined to fight the Hero of Raging Winds, and to this, I'm quite worried. I've grown attached to this crazy girl already, I don't want her to die in vain. So, for now, I will train her from time to time myself, on a hellish training similar to the one I gave to Evan.
She is also in love with me, and due to her exotic beauty and fun personality, I do like her too, but I'm trying to hold back for now, as I want her to focus on growing her strength.
Honestly, there are so many people I want to focus on, that it gets quite hard. I need to make a schedule for everyone… I will ask the Rin Sisters about this…
For now, I divide my mind with my Flesh and Slime Minions with the same appearance as myself and spend the day with my wives, while I craft a new type of Flesh and Slime Minion that can summon for me.
After two hours, I managed to make it.
I combined a big amount of my aura, alongside my flesh, blood, and slime. I also added several soul cores and the creation was complete.
It looks like a younger version of myself, like a small girl with purple hair and a flat chest. I named her Summoner… Yeah, that's a bad name…
"How about Rydia?"
My summoner clone nodded.
"We will go with that then"
I made her fusing a strong Aura Clone with several of my Flesh and Slime Minions using Synthesis. With my Aura capabilities, she can transform into an ethereal being and drag MP from the environment. She is an Undead and cannot get tired, and is also packed with more than fifty soul cores, so getting mentally tired will be very hard for her.
She only inherited my [Summon Undead Skeleton] skill, but that is the only thing needed.
Rydia obediently began summoning Undead Skeletons while commanding my lesser Flesh and Slime Minions to combine them using [Bone Fusion].
Not that I think about it, Redgaria could help me a lot with this work, but he has been enclosed on his workshop for over a week now, only going outside to the bathroom and to grab some food.
Well, he is working diligently. Since I showed him a way to convert equipment into ingots, he has been quickly raising his smiting mastery. He is steadily producing ingots for us while investigating and creating a new set of equipment for himself.
From what I have seen, he is looking for a way to regain strength and some of his youth through some kind of "soul armor" as he calls it. Because his goal is as big as confronting a goddess of death, he needs to be prepared as much as he can.
Although he can regain strength and youth while accumulating monster skills from what he eats while sharing my blessing, it's too slow, and it would take several years for him to fully regain his muscle mass and strength, which has been deteriorated to almost skeleton-like.
He is looking for ways to enhance his own soul and body through the usage of equipment, something that I have never thought before.
It reminds me of those transhumanism genres of movies settled on cyberpunk futures… Well, with magic at his side, I don't think that it will be as terrifying.
Anyways, having this finally settled, I decided to spend the rest of the day with my Children, in person. Harpy girl and the Centaur girls also joined. These three girls will be most likely my wives in the future, so for now, I will cultivate their strength to match the strength of my current wives, although it will be very difficult.
My children are growing extremely fast, Amiphossia magical aura is extremely thick and dense, and because of her combined corrosive poison and phantasmal magic, it creates a small oppressive domain.
However, she can also change its nature adding medicinal magic, creating a welcoming and warm domain, that can even heal passively. These are just the aftereffects of her own strength and power and are not even a skill.
Ryo slim body is as tough as steel, alongside this, his body temperature is scorching hot due to the constant flows of energy going through his body. His aura seems to be an imposing pressure, similar to a very strong beast leader. Alongside his fists that can be enhanced with different elements, he can also cast powerful shadow magic and has successfully learned Advanced Spells thanks to Zehe's and Herbell teachings.
Valentia's body is very tough too, and it seems to be a combination of Amiphossia's size and Ryo's strength. However, she has different ways of fighting that differentiate her from Ryo. She fights with her bare hands and its gigantic fists alongside massive jaws, her fighting style is not refined like most humanoids, but its wild, like a beast. Her aura is dominating and imposing but has something different from Ryo.
Aarae, on the other hand, is a pure mage type. His magical aura is quite dense and very vast, resembling an ocean, different than the concentrated and almost intoxicating aura of Amiphossia, Aarae's aura is welcoming and tends to surround you, perhaps because of his very calm and gentle nature. He seems to have a high affinity with Water and Ice Magic, alongside Blood and Blade Energy Magic, but he hasn't advanced much on these last two subjects, concentrating on Water and Ice for now.
Perhaps I could talk about other things than their strength, they are more than just power, right?
Well, Amiphossia has been studying medicine on the Nurse Team HQ, due to her blessed Heavenly Medicine Magic, she has realized the amazing healing properties of her magic, and is starting to want to dedicate herself to cure others and support everyone. She wants to help everyone just because it would make her happy… She is such a good girl.
She usually wears a white dress, but because she has been using it for a while, I took it from her and washed it, I also sewed several sets of clothes for her, because only using one set of clothes is not really acceptable. I usually change my clothes using [Equipment Materialization], although she can do this too, she doesn't like organic armor as much.
Amiphossia has been also taking care of her Phantasmal Wolf and she is constantly training it and such. These types of wolves lack intelligence like the other wolves and are wilder and more aggressive.
But for some reason, this wolf is not like this when it comes to Amiphossia. When it gets a tad bit angry, she only smiles at him with her Heavenly Medicine Aura, and the wolf calms down and begins licking her face. Phantasmal Wolves are categorized as giants, so she can actually mount it and even fly with it.
Ryo is mostly obsessed with fighting and trains every day. Due to this, he has made a lot of friends between demi-humans who he sees every day on the training grounds. I've seen some Hobgoblin and Troll women interested in him, and even some beastmen too… However, he's the type of guy that gets very shy with women, so he cannot advance much on any relationship other than friends or rivals.
Aside from this, he goes hunting with the hunting team that is composed of mostly rookie monkeys, goblins, trolls, and wolves. And spends some time on the library, even without Zehe, he has gained some interest in Shadow Magic and is actively researching and learning.
Oh, and there is an embarrassing thing that he seems to have taken a liking… Hehehe… Well, it's embarrassing on the sense that he gives the image of a fighting obsessed type of guy.
What is it, you ask? My son likes to sew. Something that you would never expect from a "muscle head" type of guy.
However, due to his natural four arms, sewing and tailoring is actually an easy task for him and he has developed it to an extent that it seems to be a natural talent. He has been secretly having meetings with some Arachne Maids who are teaching him the ways of the needle.
I know this not because I constantly spy my children…
It's because Sakura, my personal Arachne Maid, told me about it. He has already made several sets of clothing and seems to like making dresses, blouses, and skirts, he's particularly passionate about women fashion.
You could say that in the grade of "muscle brain" Valentia beats Ryo by far. She is very wild and most of the time she is either fighting, hunting, or eating. She doesn't do much outside of this. However, I have forced her to learn some Shadow Magic and Earth Magic, which she seems to have an affinity due to her blessings.
Her Earth Magic talent comes from her [Titan God of Domination Ditarr], which alongside giving her a dominating aura and titanic strength, it comes with the natural Earth affinity that every titan has.
She is not good at reading books, but practicing magic right away while hunting seems to work for her, as she naturally learns how to use spells while killing monsters…
Valentia doesn't like to wear clothes, but I still make her wear at least something to cover her breasts and hips. Gaby can barely handle her and Valentia seems to have taken a liking on Nesiphae and Brontes instead of her, due to their similar lifestyles of fighting, hunting, and eating, which made Gaby feel left out as a mother…
Well, it's not like Valentia doesn't like her mother, as she loves her very much. But she doesn't give her as much attention and neither sees her as a master of sorts.
Well, at the very least there is Aarae, who is very gentle to his mother and is even teaching her magic that Gaby couldn't grasp before, increasing her knowledge and strength. Gaby is also trying to teach Aarae the way of the sword, and he seems to have a fine talent with short swords, so I may craft him a magic short sword in the future.
Aarae is mostly on the libraries reading books about magic and also general knowledge. He has become very intelligent, he could even be considered a small living encyclopedia and knows a lot of terms and history. He often asks the various mages on the Kingdom about advice and even classes, Zehe and Rimuru are currently teaching him a lot of magic, alongside Amiphossia, Herbell, and Meiji.
My son likes to wear the hoodies that I made for him, that are long enough to cover his hips too, although… I would like him to wear some dresses, although he's a boy, his appearance is that of a very beautiful girl… So sometimes I call him "my daughter" by accident, and he seems to get angry, which makes him look even cuter… Haah… It's hard to resist teasing my adorable son…
Hmm, I've been checking on Rimuru and Brontes children, and they seem to be taking longer than I expected. I wonder why was that, and even asked a lot of wise demi-humans and even bothered Redgaria about it.
He told me that he has no idea, a Slime and a Spirit giving birth to a child from another race seem to be something that has never happened. But he thinks that it may be because of them being particularly strong, and needing to draw a lot of magic and strength from their mothers, which takes a lot of time.
"If they are taking so long to draw magic from their mothers, they are most likely very strong magical beings, probably surpassing anything I've ever seen… Hmmm… I wonder what kind of misfits you will give birth now… Haha"
"Who are you calling misfits?!"
"Haha! My bad, my bad… It's just a joke, relax there, Empress"
Sigh… What I'm going to do with this Necromancer Neet?
Due to this, Rimuru and Brontes children may take more time than I expected.
Perhaps another month? Although I can't confirm anything, I can see them with my [Mystic Eyes], they are growing steadily and very healthily.
After having a delicious dinner with my whole family, I went to bed. Tonight, my ten wives were on "heat" once again, so I had to please them in a separate room, as Valentia, Amiphossia, and Aarae are sleeping on ours.
Hmm, some asked me to transform into a male, and because I didn't say anything bad with it, I did. After this, a lot of them went into a rampage for my seed once again. I fear that I may have impregnated my wives who already have children…
Their "resting" season has already finished. Monsters usually need to be constantly mating to secure their species survival. Nesiphae and Zehe were already secreting hormones once again, so this probably means more babies from them in the future.
Perhaps I should find some way of protection, but the idea of having multiple children from the same wife is not something I wouldn't like it seems rather interesting.
I'm a doting father… I mean mother, so the more children, the happier I am, I suppose.
Hmm… The Champion of Psychic Eyes battalion is getting near, my Bat Minions have been updating me about their current position.
They will arrive here in one day from now. However, I will clash with them beforehand.
Oh? It seems that there are some [Elemental Knights] with them… Their flesh will be certainly tasty.
