"Hmm… I got a nice buff over my stats… Eh? What is this new "Blood Strength"?"

| BLOOD STRENGTH: Determines the strength, density and mutation of your blood. Affects blood related skills, class choices, your offspring power and your overall evolution tree. Consume stronger beings blood to increase its maximum value |

| YOUR OVERALL BLOOD STRENGTH IS LACKING, CONSUME STRONG BEINGS TO INCREASE |

"I get it now… Interesting, I wonder how much can I mutate my blood, will I become a horrible abomination or something?"

Noticing that Zehe was already dressed, we went together to the dining room. Even though we spend some hours on the bed, it was still relatively early.

When I entered the dining room, every servant there stopped doing whatever they were doing, and stared at me blankly.

"…"

"…"

"Ma…Master Kireina?"

Wagyu was the first one to speak.

"Master Kireina, you have finally evolved! Such beauty! Such grace! Incredible! Expected from our Master! You resemble a divine being! A legendary fairy! Words cannot describe your beauty!"

"Now now… Relax a li-"

The rest of my servants, from monkeys to spiders to wolves yelled in agreement!

"GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH! MASTER KIREINA!"

"MASTER KIREINA!!!"

"SHE HAS GRACED US WITH HER BEAUTY!"

"SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EXISTENCE!"

"SHE IS OUR EMPRESS! OUR EMPRESS!"

"SHES SUCH A BABE!"

"Eeeh?! Who said I was a babe?! H-Hey! Let me go!"

All my servants came close to me and carried me over their heads, while revered my existence while kneeling.

"Master! Our Empress!"

"Our Empress! I hope you can bless us with your grace every day!"

"Whats going on?! Why did they went so crazy?!"

My minds inside my body tried to find an answer.

"Obviusly because of our new beauty!"

"There could be something else… Your Demon's Curse, after becoming humanoid… Has been activated completely…"

"It must be your charming effect from "Queen of the Succubus"…"

"Haaahhh… No way… Was this because Zehe was so lustful too?"

"Could be, but perhaps Zehe was always a degenerate deep inside"

I tried to calm down my crazy servants but it was too hard. The weaker servants were the most susceptible to my charm effect, while the strongest evolved ones were not as crazy.

Zehe quickly used her new authority to calm down the rest of the servants and to let me some space to breath.

"W-We are sorry, Lady Zehe"

"Lady Zehe, Master Kireina, please forgive our rudeness"

Zehe laughed at accepted everyone apologies.

"Fufufu, it is fine. My beloved Kireina has become so beautiful it's obvious that everyone would become crazy around her. I myself could not contain my-"

I quickly shut Zehe mouth with my hand before she said anything more embarrassing!

"S-Shut up! A-Anyways, let's eat for now guys"

"Yes, Master!"

Rimuru and the Slime Family wanted to accompany Zehe and me on our breakfast so they joined, they were also impressed by my new looks, but it seems that they were always obsessed with me, so they weren't as crazy, probably because they were always crazy with me.

Because Slimes are quite simple minded, they mostly talked about skills and classes, and asked me which class I obtained.

"High Troll Warrior, guuu?"

"Yes, you see, because I drank the Troll Emperor blood, my blood evolved and became of Ancient Troll type, increasing my stats gains and giving me the Troll classes' tree"

Milim was impressed.

"I see! That's kind of cheat, Master!"

"Yes, I also want a class!"

"When are we getting a class?"

"I want one!"

"M-Me too, I want to be part of your main party, Master"

"Raawr! Me too! I want to slap some foes!"

"I am going to protect you with my armor, Master!"

The cuteness of my Slimes overwhelmed me, they have grown so much and are so many now, and I can barely give enough love to each one.

After having a quick breakfast consisting of my favorite Mixed Meat Cheeseburger and some warm Rabbit Milk, I called my servants for the usual training.

Meiji had already a breakfast with his spirits (with Nereid in there) and quickly came to the Training Grounds with the little squad.

，

I summoned Kjata to start his training; his flames were quite bigger today. Perhaps, he was also surprised by my evolution.

The Wyverns greeted me and congratulated me for my evolution, praising my new strength instead of my beauty.

I also brought the Troll Undead who already evolved once again this night into High Troll Wights and some obtained different skills, having a promising future as Undead Mages instead, while others kept their Warrior capability and obtained a series of attacking and boosting moves.

I was able to leave them training overnight on the large room where they rest, because undead do not get tired, I left them killing mobs every night.

Celica and Truhan told me that they were close to evolution, and after asking, the same was for Zehe, I wonder what will she evolve into?

While having a chat with Zehe, I remembered about the Kingdom System Sub Governor.

"Sub Governor?"

"Yeah, you will become an official sub governor now, because well… you are my lover and all that…"

Zehe blushed at my response.

"I-I see… I will do my best on taking care of our Kingdom, my beloved Kireina"

"Hmm! I'm counting on you!"

| YOU HAVE SELECTED HIGH TROLL WITCH EMPRESS: ZEHE HAS YOUR FIRST SUB GOVERNOR |

| YOUR AFFINITY WITH HIGH TROLL WITCH EMPRESS: ZEHE HAS INCREASED |

| YOUR BOND WITH HIGH TROLL WITCH EMPRESS ZEHE IS STRONG |

| YOU CAN NOW SHARE YOUR STRENGTH BETWEEN YOU TWO |

| SKILLS CAN ALSO BE GIVEN TO A LOVER, WITH A LIMIT OF 5 |

"Eeh?! Did you see that Zehe?"

"Y-Yes, Master… Skills? And we can share our power?"

"Hmmm, what should I gift Zehe… Which skill do you want?"

"E-Eh? B-But Master these are your strength, I can't possibly just take them away from you"

"I have too many, choose whatever you want, I don't mind"

"B-But… I… Well… I will only choose one for now…"

"Sure, here, take a look"

I opened my Massive Skill Window and showed it to Zehe, she was impressed by the amazing quantity.

"Well… Uhm… This!"

Zehe choose | CRIMSON DEMONIC VAMPIRE EMPRESS ICE AND THUNDER CATASTROPHE | and I give to her | ARMOR MAGIC: SHADOW VAMPIRE EMPRESS REGENERATIVE THUNDEROUS COAT | because I am worried about her fragile body, I still had my other armor skill, so it was fine.

"Good choice Zehe"

"Master is it okay to have this armor skill too? It seems very strong!"

"It's okay, I am worried about your low defenses, this will compensate it"

"Kireina… Thanks"

I decided not to take any of Zehe skills because she had too few, she also told me that she had fused some skills with Synthesis, but the results were completely different than my skills, perhaps each being has unique skill fusion results.

Now that Zehe possess a strong area-of-effect offensive magic spell and a good defensive buff, I felt more relieved about her lack of combat power.

"I understand that your Witch class is more of a supportive role, but being an all-rounder is better at the end of the day, being able to adapt to any situation in battle is essential"

"I understand"

"For example, what would happen if you were cornered and your magic was sealed somehow? You must have physical attacks and body reinforcement skills to fight your way out"

"I do have some physical attacks and body reinforcement skills from the body I have eaten, but I have not tried them… Should I fuse them?"

"Yeah, usually the best path would be to concentrate every attacking skills on one or two skills, the power of the skill will end up exponentially stronger, stacking up every effect that the other skills had too, like my Cursed Claws, which is able to inflict around 5 status ailments, Poison, Paralyze, Burn, Curse and even Freeze for some time."

Zehe looked me with a surprised and determined gaze.

"Oooh! I see how is it!"

"Yeah… In addition, combining body reinforcement buffs is also a good thing, as every buff will stack and stay longer, but make sure to differentiate between them, like the defensive and physical buffs go well together. However, the speed and magic ones don't combine well with them, but sometimes you can still fuse speed with defense and offense, if the skills are advanced enough"

"I see, so there are even rules around fusing skills?"

"I don't really know if they are exactly rules, but that's what I have figured out, however there are exceptions"

"Oh?"

"Sometimes, fusing completely different types of skills between them can form completely new skills, which maybe won't even relate to the fused ones, like I once did, when I fused different River Walking Fish skills and then the Water Being summoning spell, giving me the power to summon Nereid."

"I see, so sometimes fusing skills won't just give upgrades, but it can also cause to generate new skills completely"

"Exactly, you are very smart. Couldn't expect less from my beloved wife"

"A-Ah! T-Thanks!"

After having a little chat over skill fusions, we decided to start our training.

I summoned 900 Demonic Beings, this time no new variant came out.

In the distance, Nesiphae was training with her big armor on, and noticed Kireina and Zehe speaking very lively.

"Sigh… Master Kireina, I also want to be like Zehe… Should I talk with her? I hope Zehe is not a jealous woman… If not, maybe she would not mind sharing Master with me… Alright, I'll give it a try!"

Filled with determination, Nesiphae moved closer to Kireina and Zehe.

"Hi Master, I congratulate you for your new evolution… I can't believe how beautiful you are now, you are indeed an spectacle to see"

"E-Eeeh? Nesi! T-Thanks, but it's nothing"

Zehe seemed not to mind Nesiphae.

"Oh? (She does not mind me?)"

However, inside Zehe head, she had different thoughts, contradicting her warm smile and friendly demeanor.

"(Why did this giant snake came here? What does she want with my Kireina?! I am not going to share her with anyone!)"

A possessive wife!

After Nesiphae came, I ended up training with both, they were all friendly with each other, but I noticed as if something was going on between the two, even though I could not tell exactly what.

Using my 8 Senses skill, I noticed how both of these girls auras were completely furious and fighting each other! Like two ferocious dragons!

Clash! Clash!

"W-What?! (Why are they auras fighting each other? Are they competing for my attention?)"

"Master?"

"Dear Kireina?"

"Ah! N-Nothing… Don't mind me, it still hard to accommodate to my body"

"I-I see, perhaps, a good massage after the training would alleviate you, Master? I recently got a skill that produces a slimy substance which can alleviate the muscles tension, we could try it"

"Oh? R-Really? Sure…"

After hearing this, Zehe eyes became red colored, as if a dormant demon awakened inside her!

"D-Dear Kireina, I can do that too, we can have all the massages you want in OUR room…"

"E-Ehh? Okay… You two can help me out if you want"

Zehe became a little bit shocked.

"U-Us two? W-With miss Nesiphae?"

Nesiphae smiled with lust, happy with this outcome.

"Sure, Master… I don't mind Lady Zehe's help; she is your wife after all"

Zehe forced a smile.

"Yeah! Its fine… (I won't lose to you! You gigantic snake!)"

While slaying mobs, I noticed how their auras intensified even more.

"Sigh… What I am going to do with these girls…"

"I can't wait to touch and feel Master new body, while I massage your delicate muscles, fufufu"

"I can't wait either! My dear Kireina's body is truly blissful!"

"… (Is Nesiphae a degenerate too? Well, she was also alone her entire life; probably want to try new things…)"

"Sigh, very well, for now you two should get along better… I feel quite some conflict…"

Nesiphae and Zehe were surprised!

"E-Eh?! H-How could you… N-No Master, it's a misunderstanding!"

"Y-Yeah, dear Kireina, how could I… be conflictive with a member of our beloved family!"

"Just get along well, perhaps you two have more in common than what you think…."

"Eh? (With this snake?!)"

"Y-You think so? (Perhaps Zehe is not as I think she is… Maybe she could even be my partner too. Oooh! She is very attractive too now that I see her up close)"

Suddenly, Nesiphae give Zehe a warm smile, while winking one of her beautiful crimson eyes.

Zehe blushed at this, surprised by the change in Nesiphae nature.

"Ah! Y-Yeah… (D-Did she winked at me? Her attitude changed quite drastically, this Lamia must have a very lustful mind)"

"Hmm! I am glad you two understand! Now, let's work hard together, I want you two to evolve too and become stronger"

"Yes!"

"Very well"

We passed the last hours killing mobs while talking, I think I did well in being directly, both of them have become more friendly with each other and the strong aura has lowered down.

| YOU GAINED 29564 EXP | | THE REST OF YOUR SERVANTS GAINED TONS OF EXP |

| YOU GAINED THREE LEVELS! | | LEVEL 4/50 EXP 3763/8800 |

| THE REST OF YOUR SERVANTS GAINED TONS OF LEVELS! |

"Phew… It's kind of boring to do this repetitive task so much… I wish I could explore the rest of the forest, but thanks to this stupid mage army, we must stay aware at any moment"

Just as usual, the kitchen assistants brought us some food and cold beer.

Zehe was very lovely with me, trying to feed me while warmly looking at me.

"Here, dear. Say "aaaa"…"

"Z-Zehe there is no need to feed me, I can do it myself…"

"B-But isn't this what love partners do? T-They did all the time on my Troll family!"

In the distance, Truhan and Celica looked at me and moved their heads in negation of this statement! Trolls don't feed their love partners like this!

"Sigh… Okay… Just this once"

I gently received the food from Zehe's spoon. While my small and cute cheeks chewed the food, I blushed a little, making Zehe fascinated with my cuteness.

"Aaah~ Dear Kireina, you are so adorable! Here, I want to feed you forever!"

Zehe quickly took another spoon of food, which contained colorful boiled grains, which resembled the rice of Earth, but these had a sweet flavor. There was also salted vegetables with meat balls.

| BOILDED FOREST GRAINS WITH SALTED VEGETABLES AND ICY STORM BIRD MEATBALLS: A delicious preparations consisting of everything anyone need to start a day full of proteins and vitamins! Effect: Grants +3 to every stat for 24 hours. Recovers 60 MP and 90 Stamina |

Even Nesiphae wouldn't do this, as she looked at this embarrassing scene from my left side.

"Ahh… (I want to do this!!! I envy you so much, Lady Zehe!!!)"

After finishing the meal, Zehe and Nesiphae offered me the massages from earlier, but I told me to save that when the night fell, and that we should use every second of the day training.

As their Masters, they understood and didn't tried to convince me.

I quickly summoned 900 more Demonic Beings and continued the training.

While killing mobs, I noticed how I got Skill Points, it seems that I can get one point each level; now that I gained 3 levels I have 3 points… I can't exchange them for anything yet…

"Especially the High Troll Warrior class has amazing skills but very costly… Well, they are worth the wait"

Afterwards, my Lazy Mind reminded me of my new Blood Servant Summon skill, so I stopped for a little while and tried it out; I always like to try out new skills.

| ADVANCED BLOOD CONTROL: SUMMON BLOOD SERVANT: KNIGHT, MAGE AND ARCHER: Using your mastery over the Dark Arts and the Blood Arts inherent from Vampires, you are able to summon a powerful blood servant. You must first choose a class. The Servant can level up alongside its Master and even evolve. Every servant is born with 50% of your stats as base stats |

| Cost: 190 MP |

"190 MP?! That's a lot! Well, just for once, I will choose… Archer sounds fun"

"Summon Blood Servant: Archer!"

Flash!

Just after casting the spell, I felt a big amount of my MP being sucked out of my body and out of thin air, a big sphere of blood appeared before me. Me big blood sphere started to expand itself, creating two pair of limbs and butterfly wings on its back, it looked almost like me, but made completely out of blood, on its left hand, a long bow was created with blood too.

"Master, I await your command"

"Oh? Are you like a robot too?"

"… R-Robot? Master excuse my rudeness but what do you mean?"

"You are not!"

My blood servant/or clone looked at me with surprise, confused by my weird behavior.

"M-Master, are you okay?"

After a little testing, it seems like blood servants are actually my clones and each clone develops a mind of its own created by the system, they share some of my information and memories too, they reminded me of my split minds from Brain Share, but a bit less complex.

Amazed by such discovery, I named this blood servant Clumsy, adding her to my Minions.

| YOU HAVE WON A NEW MINION! 18/70 |

"Thank you very much for my name, Master"

"Hahaha, you are like one of my split minds, but clumsier, do you like your name?"

"I-I can't really say that I love it but I accept it, Master"

Nesiphae and Zehe were on my side while I did all of this, and were enamored by my little blood clone.

"M-Master it's really looks like you, sh
