Chapter 91 - Illusive Personification

Day 60

These last days I've left the Dungeon System management to Zehe, who is the most talented on it. The Expeditions have been completed three times already and she obtained several DP, using these she bought some new traits like Enhanced Double Gold Drop and Rare Equipment Drop and also expanded the dungeon, which gave it another floor, now a place that originally had four floors has six, and I can already see in the future that this could increase to even one hundred.

There have been quite a lot of people going into the dungeon, these included the humans, demi-humans, but mostly rookies, these included the various Ogres, Half Lords, and Hobgoblins that need to gain some quick levels without wanting to go through my

"Hell Training

" as they call it.

I wanted to finish the rest of the rings today in the morning, so I woke up quite early, took a quick bath and immediately flew to the workshop. I diligently worked until every ring was finished.

After four hours, I was finally done.

I held 17 shiny rings, all of the same quality and type. I made an extra one for myself, which I instantly gulped in one go.

You learned the following Skill

Illusive Personification

Although I could emulate this skill with my own Illusion magic, it would take a while to formulate the spell each time I want to cast it, so it was easier to just eat a ring and get the skill so I can activate it whenever I want.

This skill makes you look like the person that you once were. Quite interesting. I don't even know what would I end up looking like, so I tried it right away.

Poof!

"Eh?

"

I didn't expect that activating this skill would transform me into a human… Wait a second…

I quickly grabbed my mirror as I looked at my new face, I resembled a young human girl with brown skin and messy long black hair. I had two black eyes and a fine body.

Why do I look like… Myself?

I looked like my past self from Earth, but changed into a girl… So even for things like this, I cannot really change my gender, huh?

Sigh… I never thought that I would be able to see my old self like this… It's quite ironic.

Anyways, this form could be quite useful to mix between humans. There isn't any time limit and it doesn't cost so much MP like a full-body Illusion would using my magic manipulation.

Because I noticed that some early workers were looking at me with surprised expressions, I quickly turned myself back to my original appearance.

As I gave all the Dhampirs their new rings, they immediately tried them out. All of them were able to successfully turn into their past human selves with ease. Even Alice went back to her radiant appearance. I was surprised that this Illusion Skill was even able to camouflage one's aura.

After having breakfast with my wives, Yurei and my two spirits (Nereid and Kjata). I sent the dhampirs and the Noble man off. I reconstructed a nice-looking caravan and gave every dhampir a nice sum of money so they can maintain themselves around the Kingdom just fine. They can always ask for money to Alice and the Noble man whenever they need more.

As I saw all of them slowly go away through the horizon, I looked over the direction where the Great Lake was. My next target is the Aquaria Kingdom, and I haven't forgotten about it.

But for now, I want to relax for a bit, so the conquer will have to wait.

After gathering my servants and summoning two thousand Enhanced Super Undead, I rested at the side while looking them struggle.

Mady has been recently sending me a lot of direct messages, most of the plan is already done, she has created a strong connection with several Nobles in the Aquaria Kingdom. Whenever I tell her, she will reunite all of them into an ingle place and so I can easily brainwash all of them.

Well, Mady has been missing me quite a lot. She talks a lot about that time when we did it and every day, she tells me that she is patiently awaiting my return.

Mady is a very intelligent and beautiful woman, so making her my wife is a sure thing. Her intelligence will come in great help on the Kingdom.

She also told me that she recently evolved, becoming even stronger and beautiful. I still remember the sweet smell of her hair and her delicious lips, so I'm also expecting to meet with her once again.

The rest of the day was quite relaxing and I fell asleep over Nesiphae's tail for several hours.

-----

When I woke up it was around 6 PM and my servants were sparring around, they already finished all the Undead long ago.

Around me there were Gaby and Zehe too, it seems that they enjoyed my sleepy face.

"Hehehe… Master is so cute when she sleeps

"

"Indeed, she is a very adorable lady. Look, she still has some drool over her face

"

"Fufufu, if I could, I would have master sleep on my tail forever…

"

Ahh, it's quite embarrassing getting so many praises…

"I-I don't drool while sleeping!

"

Nesiphae laughed.

"Fufufu, and what is this saliva on my tail? It's your drool, Master

"

"Geeh…

"

At my reaction, the three laughed soundly.

Hmm, these happy moments are what make it worth living for…

Oh, today I've seen a lot of new faces on wolves, there are some children of my wolf veterans. There is Kekensha son, Yuki Daughter and Wagyu's twins. They have grown very strong and are close to evolve, they are very promising and exude talent. Hmm, I want to rub their bellies…

Anyways, after everyone finished training, we had a big feast with delicious preparations. I ate a lot and ended up falling asleep once again.

I don't know why I'm so sleepy today, did I tire my soul too much when I crafted more than 10 rings this morning? Perhaps…

I should consume some souls, Familiars souls aren't good enough, they don't give any stats. But I guess they're good enough for my wives to devour. Their souls are getting stronger and also about to reach Rank 2.

I woke up in the middle of the night, perhaps because I fell asleep too early. My wives were soundly asleep so I decided to keep sleeping peacefully.

There was Yurei, Kjata, and Nereid on the bed too. Well, I suppose it's fine.

Day 61

Perhaps because I'm worried about the future, I also wanted to craft Illusive Personification Rings for my wives. However, because they didn't have any personification before, it's rather troublesome.

After waking up early in the morning, I began to browse my Crafting Book Skill, until I came across to a different accessory.

The accessory name was Fake Illusion Pendant, which was perfect for what I wanted. In the future, if we ever need to go to a human or demi-human Kingdom, their races may bring too much attention. So, this pendant is perfect for this as it can mask the wielder race, making everyone who sees it as a common race that they know about.

For example, if they see Brontes who is a Thunder Spirit Cyclops, she will bring a lot of attention because Cyclops don't live on this part of the continent, but with this pendant, she will seem like a simple civilize Ogre on the eyes of these people. It can also work on Rimuru, Zehe and specially Nesiphae. I've heard from the humans that there are civilized races of giants who sometimes come to human kingdoms or cities for trading purposes.

I will probably look like a

"normal

" fairy, who are described as blonde, with small chest and green wings. They are rare but still on the

"normal

" standard, as some elves can evolve into them.

I doubt they would ever imagine that a Caterpillar was able to evolve through a fairy in less than two months.

Anyways, I spent around five hours into my work, diligently crafting the Pendants. I've noticed that each time I craft something new, my proficiency increases and it's easier to make new things.

These pendants needed a Magic Stone named Illusive Basilisk Eye, thankfully, there were tons of these on the Moon Shrine Dungeon, which one of the explorations groups went to. I could also replace this ingredient with Quality Magic Cores, but its effect wouldn't be as good.

I ended up crafting six pendants, one for each of my wives, while I will devour one. I'm not sure if they can get the pendant skill just like me, and because I don't want to craft anymore, I told them not to devour them.

You learned the following Skill

Fake Illusion

Once again, it's possible to cast something similar with my own Illusion magic, but I prefer a simple skill so I can easily cast it over my body without much chanting and thinking. Before the System existed in this world, any skill needed to be chanted like a spell. The System itself is what brought the instant cast into this world.

Now that I had this small issue out of the way, I spent some time training with everyone on the Training Grounds.

Today there wasn't any sparring, so the rookies only did their daily workouts and then

"cheat EXP grind

" with my summoned Undead. Well, most of them still called this training

"hellish

" or

"merciless

" and even

"ruthless

". But battling a whole army of monsters that can destroy a whole Kingdom in one night is the quickest way for them to get stronger.

They found it even worse because it's almost immediately after the daily workout, which makes some end up with all their muscles tired. I assisted them with Lovely Care: Stamina Heal, while they fought hundreds of Undead that weren't holding back at all, each one was aiming for their lives.

My two Chimera Guardians have showed incredible talent in battle and put this whole training in shame. As both of them asked me to increase the difficulty, they ended up making things worse for everyone, because I ended up summoning two thousand more Undead without letting them rest. I also participated 3on the fight to gain some EXP, I'm getting closer and closer to my next evolution.

You gained 674330 EXP Your servants gained tons of EXP

You gained one level! LEVEL 62

/70 EXP 613627

/986000

Your servants gained tons of levels!

While I left my servants fighting for their lives on an almost impossible battle, I went inside the castle and encountered Redgaria around, so I had some time with the man.

Thanks to his special skill named Hel's Eye he was able to see the different blessings I had on my two Legendary Weapons.

My Nether Sword had the blessing of the Nether God of Death Hades, while my Staff of Oblivion had the blessing of the Goddess of Shadows Nyx.

Their effects were rather interesting, but would only take effect if I'm holding the weapons, this doesn't include if I'm moving the weapons with my Gravity Magic or they are moving on their own.

Blessing of the Nether God of Death Hades: A blessing that Hades only grants to those he deems worthy.

Primary Effect:

"Death Familiarity

", If the user died once before, their perception of dangerous situations will be increased, to the point to partially see how would they die in their present situation

Second Effect:

Secondary Effect:

"Shadow Empress

", Grants a fixed damage percentage to any type of Shadow Magic attack, being able to bypass resistance and partially bypass immunities to a certain extent

It was interesting that Nyx didn't give a Extra Effect, I guess not all Gods are as generous. I also checked the other blessings I had obtained from devouring the humans alongside Apollo's blessing.

I was almost at the same spot as Redgaria, who has various God and Demi-God blessings.

Blessing of the God of Light Apollo: A blessing that Apollo only grants to those he deems worthy or interesting

Primary Effect:

Second Effect:

Blessing of the God of Thunder: Zeus: A blessing stole from someone Zeus deemed worthy. Zeus has not taken action on you but has expectations on what you will accomplish. Leaving the blessing with you, with a partial reduction on its effects

Primary Effect:

"Thundering Body

", Grants electric conductivity on your body, allowing for enhanced reaction, lighting speed and fast regeneration (Effects Halved)

Secondary Effect:

"Lighting Penetration

", Grants a fixed damage percentage to any type of Thunder Element attack, being able to bypass resistance and partially bypass immunities to a certain extent

Blessing of the Demi-God of Swords Tyrfing: A blessing stole from someone Tyrfing deemed worthy. After further inspection, Tyrfing allows the user to hold the full power of its blessing

Primary Effect:

"Sword Spirit

", Grants increased affinity with any type of swords as if the user was naturally born with this talent. Increases the power of Blade Energy and adds an extra percentage of fixed damage

Secondary Effect:

"Slashing Master

", Grants an extra non-elemental fixed damage increase on any sword attack

Extra Effect: Increases Strength growth per level by 20%

Blessing of the Demi-Goddess of Arcane Magic Brynhildr: A blessing stole from someone Brynhildr deemed worthy. After further inspection, Brynhildr allows the user to hold the full power of its blessing

Primary Effect:

"Arcane Master

", Increases the power of any type of magic cast by the user. Grants extra proficiency and creativity at the time of casting spells

Secondary Effect:

"Magic Resonance

", Magic can flow easily through the user body, increasing its MP regeneration and chanting speed

Extra Effect: Increases Magic and MP growth per level up by 20%

The effect was so many that I was almost falling asleep as I was reading them, it will be very hard to remember all of them.

Anyways, now that I know about them, I somewhat feel relieved. I always thought that some blessings could come with a negative effect. Thankfully, this is not the case.

After some more chat with Redgaria about magic and knowledge of the

"Old Age

", I went to see my servants on the Training Grounds.

Everyone was doing great, although there were various who were knocked out, so I quickly healed them before they died.

It was already getting late so I called it a day and we went to have some dinner and then to bed. Tonight, I noticed Nesiphae's belly getting quite big, she told me that she is about to lay her egg, probably tomorrow.
