Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-115

When everyone went to their beds, I enslaved the 40 Nomads that were peacefully sleeping. Afterward, I mass brainwashed them using [Global Charming Illusion], making them my loyal slaves, however, I tried not to make them as fascinated like Yisu…

[You successfully enslaved 40 Vast Plains Nomads Humans] [234/9999]

Having this settled, I still needed to clean the remaining Nomads that stayed home. The remaining humans are mostly weak women, elderly and children.

Women can be useful as breeders and if they're strong enough, as soldiers. Human children grow too slow, so they're better off as food, the same is for the elderly unless they are talented in a subclass like Crafter, Tailor, Cook, etc. I doubt there are any men in their camp and if there is, it's probably heavily disabled.

Having my thoughts settled, I flew at max speed towards the Wind Hunter Nomads Camp.

.

.

.

I was able to reach the camp in less than half an hour using [Light Speed Flight], which makes traveling through flying extremely convenient.

The camp was over a flat grassy plain, each tent seemed to be made of different monster's pelts, however, the most common pelt was that of a mammoth. They used the giant mammoth fangs as ornaments on the entrance of the tents. It seems that the members of the tribe with the highest position had several fangs decorating their tents.

I did a quick check over the whole camp and found out that I was right, there were mostly elderly and women taking care of the children.

Hm… Now that I have children myself, it feels rather weird to kill children. Not like I haven't done it before, remember that time I annihilated the Dark Squirrels, Hairy Spiders, and Swamp Alligator groups, there were several young children.

Children that grow too slow need too many resources through the years, and they don't give immediate strength to the Kingdom, the same goes for the elderly.

I cannot leave anyone left here, as it may result in inconvenient or someone wanting to avenge their people in the future.

And even so, children and elderly won't last on the Vast Plains, were Kaiser class monsters roam everywhere. I could send them towards the Human Kingdoms and with Alice influence and riches, give them nice houses and such.

But to be honest, that may cause too many problems in the future too, as I can't brainwash the entire Kingdom, there will always be people doubting why savage nomads are living as nobles.

And well, there is some malice deep inside me that only wants to eat them and gain their EXP.

At the very least, I will give them a peaceful death.

I used [Global Charming Illusion] alongside Hypnosis Magic and combined them with Fragrances exuded from my body. Creating a relaxing coma-inducing drug that quickly spread through the entire camp. In half an hour, everyone was soundly asleep.

I slowly descended and when I made sure that everyone was sleeping, I began to gather every valuable human on aside. In total there were more than three hundred humans on the camp, almost double the amount than the total division of warriors.

I gathered eighty valuable humans, composed of young and beautiful women, some strong men that stayed here, and some talented crafters and tailors, there were some elderly in here, which had a lot of experience so I saw their value in that.

The remaining two hundred and so were peacefully killed on their sleep, using my own aura, they all died instantly one by one. I also let their souls go without devouring them, so they will be able to rest on the otherworld.

Although I left their souls go, I grabbed the sins within their hearts, after eating more than three hundred [Fragmented Unknown Sin]'s, I gained some stats.

[Captured Sins]

[Fragmented Unknown Sin (Crustacean) (Max)], [Fragmented Unknown Sin (Insect/Fiend) (Max)]

[Fragmented Unknown Sin (Human) (Max)]

[You obtained a new Title]

[Humanity's Menace]

[You learned the following Skills]

[Human Genocide]

[Human Killer]

That was certainly an incredible amount of EXP, now I can't wait to do the same with the remaining tribes.

With such a massive reserve of meat, everyone will be able to eat this quality meat in my Kingdom for very long.

Before storing all the corpses, I devoured around one hundred myself, which I dragged into a giant pile that went over thirty meters.

After transforming into a giant slime, I expanded my body over the giant pile as I quickly dissolved their flesh, bones, and blood. The ability to eat so many humans like this was impressive. Although I still don't like to eat as a slime, the taste goes away too fast as the food dissolves.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Blessing of the Demi-Goddess of Wind Beasts Kriarae]

[Blessing of the Goddess of Duty Ylphion]

[Blessed Young Talent]

[Gifted Nomad Youngling]

[Future Leader in the Making]

[Monster Taming Arts: Enhance Beasts]

[Wind Long Sword Technique: Triple Slashing Gusts]

[Experienced Logistic Gatherer]

[Star Map Deciphering]

[Adaptable Body of the Wind Nomad]

[Wind Presence Concealment]

Oh?! That's certainly a lot of skills! But still quite low for eating one hundred humans… Should I eat the rest?

I better not. My family and children may have some use for these skills. I have gotten my fair share.

As I saved the piles over piles of corpses, I also created several Aura Clones that helped me in gathering the camps and every item without exception. It was certainly a good loot, there were also a lot of horses that could be used as mounts or as food.

When the entire camp was completely cleaned. I enslaved the remaining humans.

[You successfully enslaved 80 Vast Plains Nomads Humans] [314/9999]

[You obtained a new Title]

[Human Enslaver]

Before leaving, I ate the one hundred or so Aura Clones to see if I could get anything, and I actually did.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Intimidating Aura Barrage of Attacks]

[Enhanced Aura Strength]

[Intimidating Aura Shell]

It seems that using these skills on top of my aura increases their strength alongside being easy to cast. Now I can cast an Aura Shell without having to think about it, only activating the skill.

Being satisfied with everything, I created a giant pink-colored slime that had sleeping properties and made it carry the enslaved humans towards the floating carriage.

[Day 106]

Because I went to sleep very late, I ended waking up at 3 PM.

Immediately after opening my eyes, I was greeted by my two beautiful twins, Valentia and Aarae.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy…!"

It seems that both learned how to talk now, it also looks like Valentia is being just fine with Aarae, I'm glad she has stopped hitting him. Both have grown quite a lot now, Valentia has begun to grow exponentially large, having the same size as Amiphossia when she was born from her egg, while Aarae has gained around 20 centimeters.

Both of them are more expressive and their faces have developed quite a lot. Valentia is cheerful and playful, with a malicious side where she likes to break things from time to time. Meanwhile, Aarae is gentler and calmer and likes to play around with his shark and the wolves.

I would love to start making some accessories for them, but what I have right now shall suffice. Using the skill [Organic Equipment Materialization and Creation] I can copy an item I have absorbed or eaten, using the necessary materials or tons of Magic Cores as substitute, I can create a replica. However, I can only replicate up to [Unique+++] items, Mythical and above is impossible for now.

I can also do an "inner synthesis" and fuse different equipment properties inside of my own body, creating a "replica" of both at the same time, creating a combined item. The max combination is of two items at the same time, but I think it's possible to accumulate this.

Using this, I ended up creating two unique accessories fusing several replicas that I previously created inside of my body. It cost around one thousand Magic Cores, so it's actually cheaper to just craft them on the workshop using the necessary materials, but I cannot do this for now.

For Valentia, I made the [Ruthless Empress of Blazing Fists Golden Bracelet], made of several strength enchanting accessories alongside some weapons and even ingots I used as materials, this accessory increase Valentia's attack and defense while granting a small bonus on resistance.

I created a [Rainbow Gemstone Old Ancestor Orb Golden Bracelet] for Aarae, which was made with several bracelets I've devoured that granted increased magic power and defense, it comes with several skills and I also used some Old Ancestor Aquamarine Orbs that I made and saved previously.

Both of these accessories came with one very strong flesh and slime minion that I crafted specially to take care of my children, they can use several powerful skills and guarantee their safety if something wrong happens to them, even being able to buy time until I arrive.

Having this done, I gifted these accessories to my two little angels. They loved these new and shiny accessories, however, Valentia tried to eat it, thankfully the flesh and slime minion on it stopped her extending its watery body, which made her surprised.

When I got outside of the house, I encountered more than one hundred humans awake. It seems that Rimuru was feeding them Gemstone Crab soup and other preparations.

When they noticed my presence, every nomad kneeled, while Yisu greeted me.

"Master Kireina! We are ready to do whatever you please!"

I nodded. And for a moment, I let my thoughts fly as I imagined tasting and grabbing the beautiful body of Yisu.

However, I moved these thoughts out of my mind the moment my wives noticed how I was looking over Yisu's body.

Anyways, after everyone ate, I sent every nomad except Yisu towards the Kingdom through a flying giant slime. I already told the Rin Sisters about the big number of humans coming there. They were rather excited as humans have loads of utility and are very talented in almost any field, the women will be able to give birth to several strong babies while the men can be strong warriors that can master any weapon or magic.

Of course, some women can also be warriors, but they will be prioritized to breed for now. At least until they give two to three children, then, they can win their "freedom" and dedicate themselves to anything they desire inside the Kingdom.

For now, I wanted to take the day free so everyone could relax and rest. I also trained with Yisu and ate a lot of human meat on breakfast, gaining some new skills.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Gifted Offspring of the Wind]

[Unconventional Weaponry Techniques]

[Sneak]

[Wind Hunter]

[Expert Survivalist]

[Desperate and Reckless Stance]

I spent the other half of the day teaching Valentia and Aarae how to read, they surprisingly learned very quickly. It seems that Aarae already can use magic, as he was sometimes playing around with small bubbles of water and a strange magic that resembled Blade Energy, simply called Blade Energy Magic.

Valentia is strong enough to spar with Charlotte and Lilith already, so I put the two of them to train with some Undead Soldiers. In the end, everyone trained and I had to summon thousands more. Even I gained some EXP.

[You gained 1185332 EXP] [The rest of your family/servants gained tons of EXP]

[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 012/250 EXP 0068607/10000000]

[The rest of your family/servants gained some levels!]

And so, the night came. At the same time, I received some info from my flesh and slime minions that I scattered through the Vast Plains. It seems that the other three Tribes have already realized the complete disappearance of the Chakha Tribe and are worried about what may happen now.

The Khatum Tribe leader has begun her divinations using her blessing powers and has warned the remaining tribes about a terrible demon that has begun lurking through the Vast Plains, whoever approaches the demon will condemn their tribe to perish and crumble completely. She also said that I was a terrible menace that cannot be defeated and that only seeks to devour and grow limitlessly.

However, not all the tribes believed the woman, so they have just remained wary. Meanwhile, she is even planning on leaving the Vast Plains entirely, something that no Nomad has ever thought about their lives, and which is sometimes considered a taboo.

Willingly committing what is considered a taboo to save her people, she is a very admirable woman. However, I think I will have to attack her first, as I wouldn't want my prey to run anywhere.
