Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-309

[Day 190]

Today in the morning, I decided to spend some time with Nephiana and the eggs again, while the training group dedicated themselves to do exercises until they finished, which usually took them some hours. Oga was now included in this group, even when she doesn't even need to do any exercise, to begin with, but she likes to compete with the other girls.

She also asked me for a "personal Date" that she won "fairly" yesterday, of course, all of this was without my approbation. However, I decided to approve her invitation and scheduled a date tomorrow.

Oh, and talking about Oga, she evolved this morning as she hit level cap after the boss rush of yesterday. She evolved from a Fire Red Oni to a Blaze Oni Amazoness, her appearance did not change much, but her muscles became sturdier like rocks and her skin hard like adamantine. Her body was covered in crimson red tattoos that increased her strength and defense, without the need of wearing any armor. She gained a new, smaller white horn in the middle of her forehead, now having three in total.

Her Aura was that of a fierce, manly yet beautiful woman. When I patted her head to congratulate her efforts, she went from her ferocious attitude to that of a flustered young lady though.

"M-Master… P-Please, do not pat my head… It's so embarrassing for us Fire Oni…" She said, although she didn't stop me by herself with her titanic strength, so she maybe was enjoying it.

Saki, Amiphossia's Shirohebi evolved and became a Spiritualist Shirohebi, her appearance, like Oga, didn't change much, but her stats increased accordingly. Her forehead gained an eye-like purple tattoo, there were half-moon-like tattoos on her hands as well. Her magic power was raised quite high, and she experienced for the first-time what evolution really was, as since she was born, she had never evolved.

Saki and all of the other ghosts getting stronger is a very good thing as they will boost the power of my daughter as well. She is capable of using them on her spells, especially on the offensive side, where she lacked something strong enough to compare to the rest. Thanks to her loyal ghosts, she can create powerful spells by using their powers, like using Hell Ghosts to create fire barrages, or Winter Ghost to create a storm of ice. Saki is useful in the manipulation of weaker ghosts and can even boost their strength and magic, which ends up making Amiphossia's spells stronger.

My children, Vudia, Ailine, and Aarae decided to spend half of the day with me, accompanying Nephiana and the eggs, and after some minutes, the Spirits came to visit as well. Nereid, Kjata, Smilkas, and Ocypete came wearing very casual dresses and clothes, some were very modern looking, resembling the clothes form Earth. The Rin Sisters must have done sketches of the fashion from Earth and then shared it with the tailors in the Empire. Now a lot of people wear shorts, jeans and very short skirts, tight jeans have become surprisingly popular amongst the younger population, however, most still prefer their medieval or Japanese-like clothes.

Nereid was wearing a simple yet beautiful white dress, alongside some blue heels on her white legs, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she looked surprisingly mature all out of the sudden.

Smilkas, who had a more petite size was wearing tight jeans that accentuated her thick thighs and large waist, with a white-colored tight sweater over her torso, which made her already large breasts look even larger.

Kjata was wearing a more classic Japanese red kimono, however, this one was shorter, only reaching a little over her waist, with white stockings and wood sandals.

Last but not least, Ocypete was wearing a white skirt and a small shirt that showed most of her upper body, although it was filled with feathers.

"Heeey~ Nephiii~ Oh?" (Nereid)

"Nephi, we brought more games! Oh~?! Master and her daughters? What a surprise, look at those little girls, they are so cutee~" (Smilkas)

"I'm not… a girl…" (Aarae)

"We brought new board games, they were selling them today at the store, we managed to get one of each, the people were getting crazy over them…" (Kjata)

"W-We also brought some dry seeds… Hello, Master…" (Ocypete)

The four girls came with more board games, and after asking the maids for some snacks and refreshments, we had a nice time playing the several games who seemed straight-up copies from the ones on Earth. Vudia was surprisingly lucky and won most of the time.

"Hehehe! Everyone is in jail! Buhehe!" Laughed Vudia maliciously as she swam on her mountain of fake money from the board game, her golden eye even turned crimson red as her vampire fangs grew, due to her excitement it seems.

"Vudia you're too lucky! That's not fair!" Said Nereid, triggered.

"How high is your Luck Stat little princess? Sigh…" Said Smilkas, while giving a bitter smile.

"My money…" Said Ocypete, looking at her empty wings, without any money left.

"Completely… defeated…" Said Kjata, with her head over the floor, seemingly depressed.

"Hahaha! That was fun!" Laughed Ailine, completely unaware that she also lost.

"Well, that's how Vudia is" Said Aarae with an apologetic tone.

"Good thing we didn't participate Master" Said Nephiana while snacking on some seeds as she hugged me tightly with her talons.

"I would have played if you were to let me go…"

"Nope! Hehe…"

Vudia's Luck Stat was outstanding, and everyone was already planning on banning her from playing any more games… Of course, I wouldn't let them do something that would make my daughter sad, so I just asked them to bear with it and do some games by themselves later.

Thankfully it was time to train in the dungeon with the other girls, so I grabbed my children with me and left the Spirits and Nephiana to play more games when they saw Vudia saying her goodbyes, everyone released sighs of relief as they began to play again.

Gathering with the same group as yesterday, I noticed something weird on Acelina, for some reason, she couldn't move her legs…

"Hoho… It seems that I over exceed myself…" She said, completely paralyzed in the ground.

"Heh! She tried to challenge me again, and after evolving, its even less unlikely for me to lose~" Said Oga while looking at the defeated Acelina with a smug.

I had to heal Acelina with my magic, with the support of Ailine, I managed to ease the tension on her muscles, which were stiff like rocks.

"Haah~ Such heavenly massages~ It seems that in the end, I won, Oga!" Shouted Acelina as she received my attention in the form of massages, which was what they were fighting for in the first time, my attention.

"Ueh? N-No, wait! I want massages as well! She's the loser!" Said Oga, but I ignored her.

"Auuhh~! Master, your haaaaands~ Ooooh~"

"Sigh… Don't tease me, or I will squeeze you here"

Squish

I squeezed Alice's butt, which was incredibly stiff as well, but with my strength, I squeezed it, causing severe pain on Acelina.

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

After the recovering massages, which I also had to do to everyone at the end to appease their fatigue after the exercises, we entered the dungeon in the company of more ghosts, my children, and Nesiphae, Nixephine and Nefertiti, who was getting more used to leveling now. Thanks to being freed from the dungeon, she can level again, but her stats plummeted due to the buffs that the dungeon gave to her stats, something similar to Nixephine.

Yiksukesh still has her absurd stats due to not being freed completely from my control, but she still can learn other skills and even level them up, she's currently learning Shadow & Dark Attribute Magic with Zehe, Herbell and Ryo.

By abusing [Dungeon Maintenance], we rushed through every floor, defeated the bosses with ease, and then cleaned the lower floors, which were filled with Wyverns and Lesser Dragons.

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[Kireina] gained 16.965.770.070 EXP!]

[Kireina] level has increased!]

[LEVEL 060/250 EXP 5.124.504.933/20.100.000.000]

Before teleporting back to the surface, I checked on Hekatoncheires, the giant Undead that I created after merging many Undead, he had leveled quite a lot, and seemed even more overwhelmingly stronger, I was tempted to let him go loose in the Lower Realm and to destroy every Kingdom so he could level up.

Still, I saw value in the other Kingdoms as they could be allies and even future citizens, so I only permitted him to rampage in the surroundings of the Dungeon, killing the big beasts that roam the place.

After the exploration, Acelina and Kaguya celebrated that they obtained the Skill [Superhuman Strength] after reaching the max level in the [Increased Muscular Strength], [Iron Bones] and [Augmented Stamina] Skills. While Altani was very close, and Ismena and Nanako were finally showing some results, their strength had suddenly become greater and their muscles were filled with vigor.

The Centaur Twins were intoxicated with leveling up as if they had completely forgotten of the Cilane Kingdom… For now, I sent various Lesser Slime Clones and Crimson Phantom Fox Clones to investigate the place, I've had a bad feeling about that place… Some of my sense and foresight skills are activating, but they are just very vague warnings, but for now, I better trust those Skills and do an investigation, the result should arrive tomorrow.

Today's dinner was as outstanding as yesterday, and the Centaur Twins alongside Oga were also invited, the Spirits infiltrated in the table as well. Rimuru and Zehe sat at my sides and tried to imitate my daughters from yesterday… But I realized that it was very embarrassing to be feed, I guess with my daughters it was cute because they were doing it.

Well, its not like I don't find my wives cute as well, but it's a different level of cuteness… Ah, who am I trying to trick? I accepted their feeding anyways…

"Mastaaa~ Saay "aaaah"~ Guu" Said Rimuru, as she offered me a spoonful of rice with a curry made with dragon meat and other delicious spices, the smell was enticing, and with such a beautiful lady like Rimuru offering it to me, I couldn't help but accept it happily.

I would have never imagined being feed by such beautiful women in my past life… Instead of complaining about being embarrassing, I should embrace it and be grateful for this second life opportunities.

"Honeey~ How about some of this steak~? It's your favorite, fufufu…" Said Zehe, as she offered me a slice of juicy grilled meat with a fork.

The enticing smell of the meat juices made me immediately devour the slice like nothing. It seems that that wasn't very lady-like, but Zehe only laughed as she cleaned a bit of my mouth.

"Big sis, I also want to feed you!" Said Brontes, approaching with a plate filled with curry and rice.

"No, me as well! Let me do it!" Said Gaby, bringing a smoked fish.

"Of course, I should do it, I brought most of the food after all~ Fufu" Said Nesiphae, with a large roasted Dragon leg in her hands

"I cooperated as well, Nesiphae, don't steal all of Master's attention!" Shouted Nixephine, with another Dragon leg.

And like this, I was showered in attention from all sides… It was overwhelming, but the happiness it brought me couldn't be expressed that well with words…

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]

[Horn of Forbidden Nightmares]

On a cold night inside a poor village in the countryside of the Cilane Kingdom, a young centaur girl ran around the streets, carrying medicine in her pockets. Her emerald eyes showed a tired expression.

As the girl found her house, she promptly entered and closed the door, the shadows that were following around stopped and slowly moved away…

"Mother, I've brought the medicine…! P-Please, please… Don't die…!" Said the girl, opening a pouch with a small vial filled with a light green liquid, opening it, she feeds it to her dying mother, who was barely conscious and managed to slowly drink it.

Afterward, the girl began to boil water for her mother to have a warm drink.

Her mother didn't change much, but her fever was slowly fading away, and her breathing normalized. After drinking a tea made out of wild herbs, the woman seemed more revitalized, as life came back to her emerald eyes.

"My daughter… From where did you find the medicine…?"

"Mommy… T-That's… there is no need to know… Just get well, okay?"

"O-Okay…"

What the mother of the girl didn't know, is that the back of the girl's dress was painted in red, and a bloody knife was hidden in a piece of cloth over a table. The girl, in her desperation, assaulted a foolish drunk noble who was carrying medicine on its package, and after stabbing its neck with her [Knife Technique] Skill, she managed to kill him and steal his things.

The people of the Cilane Kingdom had already begun to retort to thievery and ambushes at night, and even the little girl was being persecuted by thieves, who let her alone the moment she entered her home, strangely enough.

However, the girl, who had already killed for a fourth time in her life to survive and maintain her mother alive, didn't know that she was one of the direct descendants of the last Cilane Kingdom King and that those shadow figures were her protectors, two knights who protected the girl's life since she began to live in the village with her mother, who used to be a maid who had a love affair with the King in the past.

The shadow figures rested over the roof of the little girl's house. They were two Black Cat Beastfolk, wearing tight fabric suits, resembling spies from the shadows.

"It seems that the girl is growing braver, when she saw the opportunity to obtain the medicine from that rapist that called himself a noble, she didn't doubt at all to kill him just to save her mother's life," Said one of the figures.

"Indeed, she is growing talented, the last King wanted a girl that was strong enough to take care of herself… Like the twins…"

"The twins? They are long gone… exiled, they have probably died already" lamented one of the figures.

"For now, we must protect the little lady, and give her more opportunities to polish her strength, and be aware of the bloodsuckers…"

"Those bastards… Even the resistance cannot find their whereabouts… At this point, even protecting the little miss will be in vain if they take over the Kingdom"

"We must pray to the Goddess Ova, in hopes for her divine intervention and blessings…"

"Should we… reveal ourselves?"

"It is too early… but still, if things keep getting worse thanks to these bloodsuckers, then we won't have many options left than to prematurely reveal ourselves and escape with the little lady and her mother"

"Hm… This is a trial from destiny… We must persevere, brother"

"Yes, for our King… and for the future of the Kingdom"
