104 Amiphossia's Crush

[Day 91]

Today in the morning I quickly noticed that Amiphossia and Ryo have grown quite a lot now. Ami has already surpassed 170 cm and is close to two meters, although she still has her innocent and childish personality.

Ryo on the other hand, had already passed the 140 cm, and his entire body has been reinforced once again, having incredibly sturdy muscles, yet he still has an adorable child face. The interesting thing about Ryo is that although his muscles are strong and sturdy like adamantine, they are slim and very flexible.

After saying our goodbyes to the noble families, we quickly rushed back to my castle, in the way, we didn't have any problems or monsters. Mostly thanks to the road and my own aura, which usually scares everything away. My wives and children have grown adapted to this aura and seem to be immune to most of my intimidation techniques.

My servants welcomed us with a big feast at the castle, there was a lot of high-quality meat and delicious preparations. During this event, I gave a lot of gifts to my closest servants like accessories and equipment.

On these three days of my absence, everyone has been diligently training without missing a single day, which made me proud. Yesterday 20 Goblins were born from various Hobgoblin women, and they've been training and adapting, some were born with special talents which will be welcomed in our army. Some of the young merfolk have leveled quite a lot and are getting closer to evolution.

My wives went to rest in my room for the rest of the day so I had to take care of Ami and Ryo. I invited them to the workshop as they watched me forge different equipment and accessories.

I spent the rest of the day crafting three bracelets for Gaby, Mady, and Adelle. Each one having its properties and resistances to their weaknesses.

Gaby's bracelet was [Ancient Hydra Aquamarine Soul Golden Bracelet], which came with several bonuses to her strength and defenses alongside enhanced water affinity and Thunder resistance.

Mady's bracelet was [Hypnotizing Oceanic Kraken Eye Golden Bracelet], which had enhanced magic and resistance alongside Illusion and Water magic affinity and Thunder resistance.

Lastly, Adelle bracelet was [Ancient Heavenly Light Heart Golden Bracelet, which had enhanced strength and magic alongside Holy and Light magic affinity and Dark resistance.

When I had finished, more than five hours passed and it seems that Ami and Ryo went somewhere else after getting too bored. I quickly contacted my flesh and slime minions who were with them as they told me that Ami was learning how to cook with Chokumotsu while Ryo was sparring with several of my servants in the Training Grounds.

I guess they can handle just fine by themselves now…

Ahh… They grew too fast! Now, what do I do?!

Sigh…

Anyways, I gave most of my Magic Guns alongside several books about their creation to Kusuri, Kajiya, and Redgaria, who were in the workshop with me at the moment. They were amazed by the technology and how could such complicated crafts be so easily mass-produced in Aquaria.

Kajiya was excited as she was craving for something interesting and new to forge, so using all these examples, she immediately began to create several recipes of different Magic Guns designs, some looked like staves, other that resembled swords, others that looked like rifles and even one that could shot multiple bullets without stopping similar to a machine gun.

Inspired by these amazing designs, all four of us began working together in creating super-enhanced magic guns. I wanted to mostly create magic guns for the two human girls, Charlotte and Lilith, as the power of these weapons could bring a substantial increase in their strength.

Well, I also wanted to eat some to get them as skills and fuse them with the previous one I got.

Because we went overboard, we ended up working for seven hours without stopping, skipping dinner entirely.

When it was around 2 AM, four new Magic Guns prototypes were finally done. We crafted them with the highest quality ingots we had alongside the best Magic Cores and Spirit Stones.

The first one resembled a gauntlet and was named [Prototype Gauntlet Magic Gun], it was red-colored and had several Fire Spirit Magic Stones to increase the input of strength of each bullet. It also increases the wielder strength and the bullet itself can be used to boost the speed of the user punches.

The second one resembled a long rifle and was named [Protype Long Distance Magic Gun], it was purple-colored with several Magic Cores and Dark Spirit Stones to increase the power of each bullet while making them unnoticeable. It was ideal for those who liked to attack from a safe range.

The third one looked like a long sword, it was named [Prototype Magic Sword Gun], it was white colored with several golden circuits around the blade while being enhanced with Thunder Spirit Stones. It could be wielded as a normal sword and the bullets can enhance the sword power and engulf it in different elements. After being possessed by certain elements, the sword can throw powerful elemental slashes at incredibly long distances.

Lastly, the fourth magic gun resembled a giant machine gun, it was named [Prototype Barrage Magic Gun], it was black colored and was infused with multiple Magic Cores to increase its magic conduction capabilities. It was quite strong, being able to easily throw several magic bullets at the same time without stopping, as long as the user had enough magic, it can be an incredibly lethal weapon.

Afterward, I spent the next two hours reinforcing the Sword Magic Gun and the Rifle Magic Gun, as I was going to gift these to Charlotte and Lilith (Archer Woman and Protector Girl). They've been training diligently and their strong growth as been one of the most impressive, the two have also helped in the crops a lot so they deserve a gift from me. I've been also thinking about making special accessories for them, but that will have to wait until I make them my official wives.

Kusuri and Kajiya also went to sleep but Redgaria said that he would keep working for the rest of the night. I quickly went back to my room and slept in the middle between Ami and Ryo, their sleepy faces were adorable. I used this opportunity to rain Ryo with my kisses, as he couldn't run away if he was sleeping.

[Day 92]

Today in the morning I sparred with Amiphossia and Ryo and checked their full increase in power.

Ami became even more proficient in her magic and the combination of various elements. Now she can cast several phantom arms combined with different elements, similar to my own [Arms of Demise].

Her healing magic also has greatly improved, being as good as mine, or perhaps even a little bit better. She also learned how to heal Stamina and even transfer MP. Her Heavenly Magic Shields are sturdier and she has learned several magic sword techniques. I think it's time to craft her some gear, perhaps a light chest plate at the very least.

Ami has also become more skillful while using the power of her orbs, being able to store magic inside to release them in a powerful boost of strength.

Ryo on the other hand finally managed to unleash the power of his orbs, the orb in his forehead grants him a strong red-colored energy coating, that can reinforce the strength of his skin and muscle immensely, while giving him a small regeneration factor. The ones in each of his hands summons different colored gauntlets, each hand having a different element gauntlet.

These gauntlets are [Sacred Ashura Gauntlet of Blazing Thunder], [Sacred Ashura Gauntlet of Quaking Oceans], [Sacred Ashura Gauntlet of Shining Darkness] and [Sacred Ashura Gauntlet of Storming Freeze]. Each gauntlet gave him two different elements to work with, giving him an incredible elemental coverage that not many physical fighters possess.

The amazing thing about these strong gauntlets is that he can wield weapons on top of them, as they don't count as actual equipment while still giving him a bonus in his stats. So, he has begun to learn how to use his gauntlets alongside wielding different weapons in each arm.

I also sparred with him so he can let go of some of his excess energy that the Ashura possess. Sigh… He's getting very strong already, which forces me to use some buffs to keep up with his powerful blows. Soon enough I will need to activate my armors so I can safely spar with Ryo.

Afterward, it was the long-awaited rematch between the two.

The results were once again one-sided with Amiphosia beating Ryo easily… Well, as long as both of them are still in good terms, there is no problem with getting beaten from time to time, it helps build character.

Ryo has begun to think about ways to counter Ami's powerful magic and has been studying ways to use his own magic, which is good. Because before this, he didn't even like magic that much and found it "too complicated".

After having lunch, I trained with the rest of my servants alongside Ami and Ryo until the night fell. I introduced both of them to the Centaur sisters, the Harpy girl and her dad, the Wind Wyvern woman, the Hellhound woman, the slave team and even the undead team alongside the humans.

Evan was quite surprised about the growth of my two children and it seems that Ami has fallen for his handsomeness, because every time they talked, she looked at him with lovely… Hmm, I don't like where this is going…

Well, I've known Evan for some time now, and he's a good and innocent lad, he has no perverted or sick side and works very hard to surpass his limits and the shadow of his big brother. I suppose it would be fine if he ends up together with Ami…

But not yet! At least let them know each other for five years! Y-Yes! Five years should be enough…

It seems that Evan suddenly had a headache while talking with Ami, I think it was because I was looking at him so intensively that some of my [Mystic Eyes] skills kicked in, causing him [Confusion]…

Thankfully, Ami gladly healed him into perfect condition once again.

[Mini Evan Perspective]

A strong and deadly aura could be felt from my back as if it were looking directly at my soul…

"Ugh… Why do I feel like something really wants me dead?"

"Evan?"

"Oh? Ah, it's nothing… Anyways, let's keep training, Amiphossia"

As I said these words, Amiphossia's pale white face suddenly became red, as if my words somehow embarrassed her… Why is that?

"Y-Yes!"

Suddenly, I felt a strong pain all over my head! It hurts like hell!

From where did this come from?!

Just what is going on?!

"Uaagh!"

Amiphossia quickly came for my rescue and used a shining white light to easily cure my sudden headache.

"E-Evan? Are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah… I don't know what happened but I got such a sudden headache, almost as if it were a curse…"

"A curse?"

Suddenly, Ami looked were her mother was. As if predicting this, Kireina quickly walked away…

Just what is going on?!

-----

I summoned several Undead soldiers, around three thousand, so I was getting closer and closer to my evolution. Although I haven't rushed this subject, there is a strange feeling calling me to evolve.

[You gained 814900 EXP] [The rest of your servants gained tons of EXP]

[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 69/70 EXP 269471/2000000]

[The rest of your servants gained tons of levels!]

Before dinner, I gifted Charlotte and Lilith their new Magic Guns, they were rather surprised by this gift as they didn't expect it at all.

"It's just a small present to compensate for your hard work in here. I'm looking forward to your growth and how you can help us in the future"

Charlotte and Lilith quickly began to blush while looking at the incredible weapons given to them. Although they didn't understand their function completely, they understood the value of such things and the meaning behind these gifts.

Charlotte was the first one to talk, she raised her face as she looked at me with her beautiful sapphire eyes.

"K-Kireina… T-Thanks, I appreciate the gesture. I will make sure to grow stronger and be useful to the community you have built. Since long ago that it has been my dream to become an Alchemist, and thanks to you, I was able to meet such a talented Teacher like Mister Kusuri"

Ahh… What is going on? She is incredibly adorable!

I couldn't contain myself as I patted Charlotte's head.

"Its nothing. In my Kingdom, your effort will always be compensated!"

Lilith also looked at me with her almost mystical purple eyes.

"I-Indeed, I appreciate this gift… You have done so much for me; I never knew that I could become so strong… I always saw myself as some bait for monsters as others take the credit and the rewards of my effort… But since I came here, I've grown stronger and also attached to this community and the people inside, they're not bad at all… Really nice and comprehensive people, no matter the race, perhaps, even better than humans…"

"Hmm, I'm also grateful for your efforts both in training and in the crops, your skill is certainly a blessing in disguise, it's incredibly useful for us. In some days from now, we will go look for the rest of your family"

Lilith's purple eyes began to sparkle in excitement, as Charlotte looked at her with a surprised smile.

"R-Really?!"

"Of course! You two are already part of my family, and your family is also included"

Lilith couldn't contain her happiness as she jumped over me with all her strength and tightly hugged me with her thin yet powerful arms.

"Thank you! Thank you! I've missed everyone so much… They will be very happy to know that there is a place were those despicable nobles don't have any power at all!"

I patted Lilith's pink hair as I told her that they were in my care.

Since long ago that I've sent various flesh and slime minions towards her village. I've already secured her family houses so it will be an easy trip. It will also help me and my family explore a little bit of the outside world in person. There is a big group of bandits in that village too, but for us, it's just a nice meal to look forward to.

After the two girls let go of me, I went with my two children towards the dining room. There, my wives were waiting for us.

In the middle of the feast, Ami talked about me giving those gifts to the human woman, which made some of my wives jealous.

Zehe, Nesiphae and Adelle are the most jealous of the group and looked at the human woman who was eating together peacefully with deadly eyes and an intimidating aura.

"Sigh…"

At the end, when Amiphossia and Ryo went to sleep, I had to go to an adjacent room and please my wives the rest of the night, until they were all satisfied and their anger went away. Well, it's not like I don't like that jealous part of them, it's quite charming.
