96 Five Radiant Champions [Day 72] Because I've been missing sleeping on my bed, I oversleep… I ended waking up at 3 PM, well its not as bad as other days. After taking a nice bath with my wives, I decided to spend the first half of the day with them, we mostly went around town, Nesiphae also joined in while I carried Ami's egg on Slime Minion I made specially to carry her, it possesses a special core able to generate a small amount of heat to maintain the egg on a nice temperature whenever it goes, its juices are also inoffensive and cannot dissolve her. It also reacts to any kind of threat and will protect the egg activating several magic shields. However, I only made this to go around town, I won't take the egg outside of here, even with the protection of this Slime Minion, it could easily be in danger on a myriad of different situations. In the middle of our walk, I invited Adelle so she could meet with my wives. As I called on her, she instantly teleported near me. Flash! \"Ah… I missed you…\" Suddenly, Adelle stole a kiss out of me in front of my wives, without realizing their presence. \"Hm? My wife, what's wrong?\" \"A-Adelle, it's nice to meet you too. Here, these are my wives… I-I hope you all get along\" \"Huh?\" When Adelle raised her head, she saw all my wives except Mady looking at her with creepy smiles, as if containing their anger, however, their auras easily showed their true emotions, which were anger and jealously. Well, things didn't go too bad, we still enjoyed a hearty lunch at one of the restaurants in my town. Afterward, we had a nice trip around, showing Adelle our place. She was amazed by the beauty of the place despite its small size. \"Hmm… It's certainly a charming place that you have here, my wife\" \"I'm glad you're enjoying your stay\" As we talked together, Adelle grabbed my hand, while looking at my wives from behind with a smug face. This only made all of them even more infuriated. Sigh… I didn't know this competitive side on Adelle… Suddenly, all my wives asked me to grab their hands, there were five hands to choose, Mady didn't really care about this and wasn't jealous at all, showing her maturity. She only enjoyed herself while looking at the sticky situation I was. Whatever hand I choose first, would make things worse, but if I don't choose any hand, things will get even worse. I decided to just shapeshift my body and created four more hands, grabbing all my wives. It seems that as ridiculous as this was, they seemed content about the result, and even looked at me with happy smiles of admiration, why is that? It seems that things got better, somehow… And we had a nice time together. I spent the second half of the day tirelessly training all my servants, demi-humans and humans. Adelle joined in and showed her techniques around, I made her spar with Palami so she could have someone to aim for. The battle ended very quickly with an obvious win from Palami, although Adelle has leveled quite a lot and has increased her foundation, she has a long way to go to reach the veteran level of Palami, who is on pair with people like Kizuato and Yukan. Even Gaby has a hard time with Palami and needs to go all out to achieve a victory. After I sparred with everyone, I noticed that everyone has been doing the daily workouts that I entrusted on them. On the human side, I saw the growth of the Archer Woman and the Protector Girl. Charlotte (Archer Woman) has managed to gain a new class related to swordsmanship named [Wind Fencer], which specializes in strong and fast strokes. These new techniques that came with the class fitted her fighting style and her body proportions. Meanwhile, Lilith (Protector Girl) has been slowly diminishing her overweight and was on a way better state, although I noticed that she won't be able to lose more weight, as her own body was small and kind of fatty since she was born. I wondered if she had any dwarf blood on her family, and she was surprised about my guessing as I was right. Her great-grandmother was actually a dwarf, and the blood of their race has been mixing in the family since then, she has inherited the dwarf's body and their natural high defenses. This explains what I thought was overweight at first. Well, she was still overweight, just not as much as I thought. Even though she was confident enough on her defenses as a protector, she still inherited the human's \"talent\", which I exploited to its fullest. Now, she finally reached a good level of mastery over Axes and Mazes, obtaining a new class named [Axe Hunter]. The class brought new useful skills, and especially useful one was named [Weighted Prowess], which increased her stats while holding very heavy weapons, of more than 50 kilograms, giving her an incredibly easy time wielding axes and maces. Which she was able to wield two at the same time as if they were as light as daggers. Seeing the amazing growth of the two humans who used to be the weakest of the group, my heart was filled with pride for them. Charlotte and Lilith looked at me with happy smiles, recognizing their new strength, saying that it was something that they would have never been able to accomplish on their own for several years. On the other side, Armand (Black Haired Swordsman) also learned a new class, something that a veteran like him would have never expected. He obtained a strange class that can be unlocked after certain conditions, these were being trained by demi-humans while learning their techniques and making them your own. It was named [Beastly Soldier], and it came with an amazing buff on his stats alongside more \"beastly\" techniques, reminiscing the demi-humans fighting styles. Makesia (Amazon Woman) has also learned an array of techniques from the strongest berserkers on the team, these being Truhan, Jorogumo, and Erathe. After training for so long with these three masters of fire, she gained a class fitting of their masters, named [Blazing Berserk Empress], which came with a substantial buff on her attack and also change the color of her pupils to a bright red. Every attack she made would come with a strong [Fire Effect], making each blow a devastating assault. Last but not least, Evan has been the only human who has been through such a hellish training, breaking and healing his bones every day, he has certainly grown accustomed to pain. Due to the constant damage and healing that his body takes each day, his entire structure has grown sturdier, his skin has become way harder and his bones are not as easy to break. His muscles have become incredibly hard, resembling silver at this point. However, this sudden change is not only because of the training but because of his abilities has a future Hero and Apolo's Blessing, which makes his flesh evolve as long as he takes damage and keeps recovering. His speed has greatly increased alongside an incredible reaction time, however, I still think that it's not enough until he can battle on pair with Wagyu or Kekensha, he's not done yet. Anyways, the rest of the demi-humans grew as strong as the humans, but because their foundations were already strong, they still need to go even further beyond to successfully break their limits. I noticed that evolution was approaching for several of them, so I quickly summoned three thousand Enhanced Super Skeleton Soldiers and we had our usual training against an army that can destroy a whole nation. Adelle was quite surprised by the strength of the new skeleton soldiers but didn't ask for mercy neither to go easy on her, she did her best and killed plenty of them, but ultimately ended almost died after being knocked out by one with a strong attack on her head. I had to quickly rush to her help. After she was back into perfect condition, she insisted on keeping the training, but I made sure to heal her from time to time. [You gained 763100 EXP] [The rest of your servants gained tons of EXP] [You gained one level!] [LEVEL 65/70?? EXP 0258337/1175000] [Your servants gained tons of levels!] When the training was done, I had a nice dinner with my wives and servants. And after saying my goodbyes to Adelle with a kiss on her lips, I went straight to bed. No one was on the mood and me neither, so we had a nice and calm night. . . . [Day 73] Today was a rather simple and laid-back day. I spent a good chunk of the day with my wives which now included Adelle on the mix because she decided to come earlier. Afterward, I decided to read some of the ancient books of the Old Ancestor, which showed different spells that didn't come on his meat. I spent several hours until I finally found one of the spells I was looking for, which was named [Blessing Plunderer]. A strange and forbidden spell that can steal the effects of other people blessings, however, these aren't stole on its entirety, only receiving 1/6 of the original blessing power, while taking the life of the blessing user. Even when it was only 1/6, the power of Belle's blessing was enough to completely revitalize the Old Ancestor, however, in the end, he didn't regain the entirety of his power, which led to various mistakes and ultimately his death. This also explains why I didn't get Belle's blessing, he just didn't have the entire blessing, but a small part of it. Because I found the spell useless on someone like me, that can acquire any blessing if I devour the holder, I decided to leave it on the Kingdom Library. There were more books about different kinds of water spells and the true origins of the Three-Headed Leviathan, but they weren't as interesting either. It seems that none of these books contained any information on how did this bastard moved the whole city from the East Ocean towards the Grand Forest. I fear that this will remain a mystery for the rest of my life… Anyways, after wasting much of my time on these books, I trained for the rest of the day with my servants. I summoned two hundred Enhanced Super Skeleton Soldiers and had some fun smashing their skulls and slowly building EXP. [You gained 649000 EXP] [The rest of your servants gained tons of EXP] [LEVEL 65/70?? EXP 0907337/1175000] [Your servants gained tons of levels!] It seems that Adelle is steadily approaching evolution, what will a Koi fish mermaid even evolve into? I can't deny my curiosity. After a nice dinner with Familiar meat that included the Three-Headed Leviathan, I gained another skill from this monster. [You learned the following Skill] [Mythical Beast of the Deeps Flesh and Blood] Hmm, perhaps this is the last Skill on the Three-Headed Leviathan that I can obtain. I've also made sure to eat its brain, hearts, eyes and even teeth, but nothing else is being obtained. Adelle wanted to stay tonight, but I declined her and sent her off to her Kingdom, she probably has the whole royal family worried because she didn't tell them about coming here beforehand. Anyways, tonight was a calm night and I slept very well. . . . [Day 74] Today I was reported over the pregnancy of more women, mostly Hobgoblin and Troll women, also the Demon Concubine and the Half Poison Lord Lady already have their bellies bulging up quite a lot. After some inspection from the Nursing Team, the Demon Concubine was found to have more than four children on her belly, each one from a different man, showing the amazing talent for breeding on her race. The Half Poison Lord Lady had twins, which were both High Ogres, a stronger version of Ogre's with bigger bodies and stronger muscles. The Demon Concubine had five different children, two were Hobgoblins, one was a Half Demon Ogre, which is the cross between demon and ogre and the two others were Trolls. Hm, they will certainly be welcomed, these children seem very promising. Aside from this news, the Mermen youngsters have been steadily training inside the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon alongside some veteran servants, who usually guide them and protect them. Due to the activity that the dungeon has received, we are quickly filling our pockets with precious Gems and Magic Cores. This money will come quite well as we need to steadily produce more armor and equipment for the big army that we are building. I've already set various workshops on the Aquaria Kingdom to mass-produce high-quality armor and weapons. Aquaria has such an incredible number of experts that the only thing they needed to begin working were resources. I decided to spend some time with my wives and Ami's egg. Just as Nesiphae said, sometimes the little Ami inside makes the egg move from time to time, she also punch it or attack it with her tail, thankfully the egg is as sturdy as silver. The egg will naturally weaken its hardness when she is close to hatching. Afterward, I began to browse through the information sent to me by Alice and my Dhampir Spies. There was a very juicy info about the important figures of the Kingdom. But the thing that interested me the most was the [Five Radiant Champions] alongside the [Ten Elemental Knights]. The [Five Radiant Champions] are the \"strongest\" humans on the Athetosea Kingdom besides the Hero of Raging Winds. These five characters are incredibly charismatic people, and all of them possess their own [Epic], which is connected with the destiny of this realm. I think it could had been Six Radiant Champions if Alice was awakened before I made her into a Dhampir… Anyways, these guys are quite strong and are as follows. The first Radiant Champion is the [Champion of Freezing Winter], she is a woman of 24 years old, that came from a Noble's family, her name is Sapphira Diamantine. She is depicted as a dignified and majestic woman with a very calm demeanor and a cold as ice heart. Her looks are of fairy, with long a pale blue crystalline colored hair, which resembles ice itself. Her pupils are also blue colored, with a smooth and pale white skin. Her figure is quite tall, being of 197 cm, also, she possesses a thin and slim body, with very long legs. Her specialty is Ice Magic, which she combines with her [Legendary Relic] named [Icing Heart], which is a longsword. The second Radiant Champion is the [Champion of Earth-Shattering Arms], he is an old man, of around 57 years old, he used to be a mercenary that became a knight after having its talent recognized by a Noble's family, his name is Gustav Gifford. He is known for his strong and muscular body, having a towering size of 243 cm, the man is big. He possesses countless scars all around his arms and face, having a pretty ugly but experienced appearance. His specialty is his powerful arms, which he uses to attack wearing a [Legendary Relic] named [Earth's Anguish], which is a claw weapon. The third Radiant Champion is the [Champion of Black Flames], she is a woman over 40 years old, but it depicted to remain young no matter her age, she comes from an ancient mage family that was absorbed by Nobles long ago, her name is Beatrix Poisonthorn. She is said to look like a beautiful and young girl, being of a very small stature, around 157 cm, with a long and silky black hair. She usually wears a provocative dress which shows her back and hips, she often wears a mask. It said that her personality is rather… twisted, and obsessive, and tend to fall in love with handsome young men, who end up always rejecting her. These handsome young men usually die some days after rejecting her love, due to a strange curse… It seems that the Kingdom doesn't care as long as she doesn't kill royalty or nobles. Anyways, her specialty is Black Flame Magic, which encompasses offensive and curse magic. She wields the [Legendary Relic] named [Bead of Regret], which is a small bead that she attached to a necklace, it boosts her magic capabilities through the roof, increasing her power at least three times. Hmm, my Zehe would certainly love this Relic. The fourth Radiant Champion is the [Champion of Emerald Trees], it's a half dryad young man with a beautiful and feminine appearance. Its age is unclear, but some say he's older than two hundred years, his name is Aldoris Ferne. His body is thin and slim, with a very tall body, of around 187 cm. He possesses long and green colored hair with shining emerald eyes. His skin is pale white and he has a calm and composed demeanor, with a gentle heart. His specialty is bowman techniques which are enhanced with his inborn Nature Magic. He wields the [Legendary Relic] named [Eternal Charm of the Forest], which is a beautiful bow made with a strong magical wood. This Champion don't enjoy fighting and usually tries to resolve things without conflict. Lastly, the fifth Radiant Champion is the [Champion of Psychic Eyes], she is a half Human and half Dodomeki, she comes from a wealthy Noble's house which ancestors were a wealthy Dodomeki tribe that settled on the Kingdom. Dodomekis are people that possess several eyes across their bodies, which grant them enhanced vision and reconnaissance capabilities, stronger ones can even shoot psychic rays from their eyes, just like this Champion. Because she is half-human, she doesn't possess the full extent of the power of Dodomekis, only having eyes on her forehead and hands, her name is Nanako Maki. She is usually praised for her intense beauty. She has a sexy body and a dignified aura, with a charismatic and happy personality, her hair is pink colored and all her eyes are crimson red. She usually wears kimonos, which the Dodomeki tribe used to wear. She wields the [Legendary Relic] named [Nine Basilisk Eyes], which is a beautiful orb that possesses nine eye marks and greatly amplifies her eyes powers. She can use this orb to shoot powerful Psychic Blasts from incredibly long distances, and even see from very far away. It is said that a Champion can Rank Up to Hero if they manage to accomplish certain feats through their lives. The closest to becoming a Hero are Aldoris and Nanako. Hmm, I really want to eat them now… Anyways, because the information was too much, I decided to keep browsing through it tomorrow. . . .
