| 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 novel 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 |
