1533 Feeding Silva Like She's My Spoiled Daughter

.

In front of me there was a big pile of monster corpses. Yep, I hunted it all myself. These were all lowly F to E Rank monsters that appear in the woods. Gray Wolf Kings, Armored Bears, Horned Hawks, and Big Moles. All these guys are nothing to really sweat about, although sometimes, E or D Ranked monsters showed up and they were a bit of a challenge by then, I believe. But now? They're nothing to me. I've beaten Demon Lords, so what about these idiots? Just food for my new and cute Knife Dungeon Girl, Silva.

"Silvaaa! Time for lunch~!" I said, quickly walking to her portal, which was open outside of the fiefdom in the wilderness.

"Food?" She asked.

"Yes! Remember that we agreed that I would give you monsters so you can convert into Mana? Here, dear, eat them, I got you almost forty." I said. Silva suddenly felt slightly surprised, even gasping, as I began throwing the bodies inside of her dungeon one after the other.

"Wooow… Thanks!" She said nonchalantly, as the bodies suddenly began to slowly turn into nothingness inside of her dungeon, quickly fueling her with more Mana.

After a few seconds, all the monsters I hunted for her were feed to her, the Mana she had almost completely depleted summoning monsters was quickly refilled. When I saw the interior of her Dungeon, there were almost a hundred monsters. Mostly Armored Rhinos as they were the mightiest, but also Barbarian Monkeys. Silva can gain 10 Skill EXP for her Monster Summoning Skill every 100 MP. So she spent almost all her MP into summoning these monsters and is almost reaching the max Skill EXP needed to reach Level 2 in this Summoning Skill.

However, the Dungeon can no longer have enough space for all monsters, so our limit is roughly 120 monsters. That not enough at all! This is why I decided to risk it for the biscuit and tell Silva to get back the MP she consumed summoning the summons by… well, eating them. She can only gain roughly 50% of the MP spent summoning them, so she can't keep the loop forever, but she can do it another time, I presume, to get the most out of it. I am sure she'll level up the Skill by then.

"Silva, can you eat all the monsters and then summon as many Rhinos and Monkeys as you can, and eat them again until you got no more MP?" I asked her.

"Oooh! Okay! Sounds fun! Nom, nom!" Silva said happily, as the monsters quickly began to scream in agony, the dungeon itself consumed them until nothing remained, and new ones were suddenly summoned right after that. Silva mercilessly ate them again, each time summoning less and less monsters.

Meanwhile, the night was approaching but there was still a lot of free time and I wasn't tired at all, so I planned to go hunt for the rest of the night to supply Silva with tons of monsters for her to eat and convert into more MP. I can supply her with a bit of my own MP as well, but she's too gluttonous and might end up draining me dry…

"KIREINAAAAAAAAA!"

However, while I was planning to go hunt more monsters, I heard the furious scream of Elfina.

"Oof, so she already learned, huh?"

Ah, did she found out the Dark Labyrinth disappeared? I guess I can't blame her for getting angry at that. Now the Dark Labyrinth became an adorable little Ego that possessed my Cooking Knife! It would be too ridiculous to explain it to her, but probably Sol told her it's my fault.

Ugh, what a pain.

"Black, White, Aquamarine, can you guys go hunt monsters for me?" I asked.

"Sure." Said White.

"Are we slaves of you or something now?!" Asked Black. "…But sure, not like I got much to do."

"Yaaay! Solo Hunting! Me alone!" Said Aquamarine, he seemed to be pumped up about going out to hunt alone.

"Not completely… Summon Five Chaotic Beasts."

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

I summoned five Chaotic Beasts, as the Skill Level increased, it consumed more and more MP, but the Chaotic Beasts not only became stronger and more resilient, but also more intelligent.

"You five go with the Egos and obey them, help them hunt monsters. Any monster would do, even smaller ones. Don't kill people." I said.

"Groar!"

The creatures of various disgusting and misshaped appearances groaned in unison, as they quickly went off into the jungles. I left Silva being protected by one Chaotic Beast and then went back to the fiefdom to explain things to Elfina. Revealing the existence of Silva might be dangerous now, as they might try to take her away from me because they'll still see her as a dungeon, which was the property of this place.

So for now I will fake it as if I committed an accident and the dungeon ended disappearing or something, but I ended gaining a lot of power in exchange… Yeah, that should do. Sol doesn't even know what exactly happened so he just blamed it to me but without even really knowing what exactly happened. I can use this to my advantage of course.

When I rolled back to the fiefdom and to Floresse's territory, Elfina reprimanded me as I had expected. But ultimately, I managed to convince her that what happened was an accident, Sol had no idea what exactly happened so he nodded and simply let it go. Floresse was certainly quite surprised and angered at me, despite faking it beneath a motherly smile, but there wasn't much she could do right now at the end.

At least, I promised them that I would use my newfound powers to bring them victory in the war. Quite a risky promise, but I cannot really think of anything else that could appease their wrath. When I finally was given time to go back to Silva, I found her being stuffed with dozens of monster corpses.
