20 An Unexpected Alliance (2/2)

”Gghh…! I see how this bird is, it's constantly casting strong spells while moving away from me, it seems to be pretty frail…! If I am able to connect a big blow on its head, it will be done for!”

FLUOSH!

Nesiphae quickly activated a myriad of boosting skills, increasing her muscle mass and power, making her sexy body bulge with shiny muscles.

”Squeeeack!”

The Icy Storm Emperor used countless spells, casting strong thunder shocks and ice spears!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

A massive rain of combined spells passed over Nesiphae, using her mist, she was able to evade most, but she still took considerable damage!

”Aghh! This Thunder Shock is so potent… if it wasn't for my magic shield and big body, I would had fallen immediately like my tiny Master…”

The Bird Emperor noticed Nesiphae strong bulk and became aware of her tactics; she was coming straight to him to finish him in one blow!

”Squeeeeeack!”

The majestic bird used its max speed to flew above Nesiphae, and started to once again, shoot strong ice spears and thunder shocks!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOM!

Nesiphae quickly casted a myriad of bright magic arrows that started to intercept the Emperor magic!

FLASH! FLASH!

BOOOM! BOOM!

”Squeeeeeeackk!”

The Emperor was astonished by Nesiphae usage on magic; he did not expect that from a physical combatant!

As Nesiphae came closer, the Emperor became desperate and casted all its spells at once, creating a beautiful firework's show over the snowy mountain!

”Ah! He's going all out! Very well! Oooooooraaaahhh…!”

Nesiphae accepted the Emperor attacks with her bare body, enhancing it once again with countless buff!

FLUOSH!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Massive magic projectiles crashed on Nesiphae like flaming meteors! As she blocked them wither strong and sturdy arms, chunks of meat started to rain off her arms, to the point that one could see the bones!

”T-This! This is really a fight to the death! So thrilling! Hahahah! I can't believe I have been missing such wonders on this world! Thanks, Master Kireina!”

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

More and more magic projectiles crashed on Nesiphae body, while she intercepted some with her Holy Magic Shots and her claws!

Suddenly, while the Emperor was casting even more spells a massive shadow blocked the sun from its sight!

FLASH!

”Squeeeack…!”

”ACTIVATE SKILL: | POISONOUS MIST CLAWS |!!!”

BOOOM!

CRACK!

Nesiphae massive claws hit the Bird Emperor right on its head, completely shattering its skull!

”I did it! Haaahh…”

Flash!

Before Nesiphae could lose consciousness, Rimuru expanded its body and wrapped her around, carrying her to the mountain.

”That was a wonderful battle, guuu!”

Flash! Flash!

”We are back! Whats going on? Where's the Emperor?”

”Master, Nesiphae was able to slay it, guuu!”

”What? Nesi!”

I quickly flew were Nesiphae body was resting, the injuries on her arms were severe, most of her muscles were completely ripen of and her bones had countless cracks.

”Ah! Activate skill: Group Heal! Group Heal! Group Heal!”

Flash! Flash Flash!

The strong spell slowly healed Nesiphae wounds, regenerating her missing muscle tissues and connecting them again.

”Hmm…! Master… I did it… Did you see? Fufufu…”

”Yes, you sure did it… Sigh… Don't put yourself in such danger… (You are such a cutie; you don't need to fight so fiercely!)”

”Hehehe… The thrilling of a battle to the death… It was wonderful…”

”Ahh… You must rest for now…”

I quickly used Hypnotizing Gaze, making Nesiphae enter on a deep sleep.

I asked Wagyu to drag the Emperor's body here while RImuru would inspect every Icy Storm Bird nest looking for the desired Magic Stone.

After some hours, Rimuru came back with tons of Thunderous Ice Storm Ruby, he told me that these are formed when the poop of the Icy Storm Birds freeze and then fossilize inside the caves for hundreds of years.

While Nesiphae was still sleeping, we prepared the former Icy Storm Bird Emperor body, plucking its feathers and cutting it in big pieces, I wanted to make a basic soup for Nesiphae to regain nutrients when she awakes.

Wagyu and Rimuru roasted a big piece of the Emperor's breast, producing a delicious smell that quickly awakened the Lamia.

”Ahh! So hungry… Oh? Master? Where am I?”

I took a big bowl of Soup and handled it to Nesiphae.

”Here, you defeated it after all, so you deserve to taste it first”

”Oh, the Emperor? What is this hot water? It smells so good!”

Nesiphae quickly drank the whole bowl in one go!

Glup Glup

”Haaah~! So warm! Was this water made with the Emperor body?”

”Yes, it's called soup! You boil water with some ingredients and meat, and a delicious beverage is produced!”

In mere minutes, Nesiphae drank all the soup in big sips; afterwards, she started to eat the roasted Emperor meat happily.

”Munch munch, hmmm! Delishiush!”

When we finally arrived at home, all my servants became scared and in alert after seeing Nesiphae massive size, when I told how thinks went on our journey, I told the Shokunin and Tsuchimizu to make a big room that could fit her size.

I freed the new slaves and introduced them to Kekensha, who would instruct them on what to do.

Nesiphae was fascinated on how big my community was and how advanced was the constructions inside the cave. I introduced her to the different facilities, including the big bathroom, which was wide enough for her to bathe comfortably.

”Ah, is this warm water? I will go take a bath then, Master… Do you want to come with me?”

”Ah…! Ghhh… N-No… Go ahead”

I could not bathe with Nesiphae because my priority was Zehe prosthetic arm!

”Even with Nesiphae beauty, I can't forget my other beauty, Zehe!”

I quickly flew were Kusuri was and found him crafting bracelets with Kajiya.

”Oh? What are you guys doing?”

”Ah…! Master Kireina, you really surprised us…”

”Fueehh… Master…”

Kusuri calmed down Kajiya and then explained to me.

”We have been crafting more Synthesis Bracelets for the rest of our members, so everyone can fuse their skills and slowly become stronger, we must use every tool at our disposal”

”I see! Very good, Kusuri. Also, here, I have brought the Magic Stones needed…”

Thump!

I opened my Item Box and handled all the Magic Stones to Kusuri.

”Ah! So many! I couldn't expect less from Master! We will paus the Synthesis bracelets production and start the prosthetic arm construction right away! Let's go Kajiya!”

”Y-Yes…!”

They told me that the arm would be ready around tomorrow, so I told them to send it to Zehe room whenever it's finished. Having finally taking care of this business, I decided to use the rest of the day training, so I called most of my servants and summoned more than 500 Demonic Beings.

While I was training and leveling up, a serious woman voice spoke behind me.

”…You are finally back ”Master”… So how was your little adventure while your servants worked hard to get stronger and protect you?”

”Geehh… (It's Zehe… She sounds quite angry…)”

”Sigh… You are not going to talk. Expected from you, ”Master”, I shall go train then…”

”Sigh… Zehe is such a beauty but also so hard to deal with…”

Suddenly, Celica and Truhan came from the cave, apologizing for Zehe's behavior.

”M-Master Kireina, we are very sorry for Zehe behavior, she really didn't mean it!”

”Yes Master! We are very sorry!”

”Ah, it doesn't matter guys, I kind of deserve half of it. No need to worry, go train for now”

”Yes…”

”Very well then…”

From inside the cave, a very relaxed Nesiphea came outside, she was feeling refreshed after a nice warm bath, something that she have never experimented on her life before.

”Master, there you are!”

”Ah! Nesi! Com here, I will introduce you to our training program”

”Training… Program?”

Suddenly, an adult and serious voice resounded from the back of the Lamia.

”Oh? Its really is a Lamia! Welcome to our community!”

”Ah! Abellona and his brothers, how has the training going?”

”Very good, fellow Kireina. We estimate that we would be able to hit level max around tomorrow, I can't wait for my most awaited evolution!”

”Indeed, evolution! At last!”

”It been so long, we will be finally able to change skins”

”Hi, you must be Nesi… phea? Nesiphae, right?”

Nesiphea was surprised about the big Wyvern family.

”Oh? Master never told me that there was such a big family of Wyverns here! You all are almost as big as I am! Well, almost…”

”Yes, I have never saw such a big being before. Are all Lamias this big?”

”Ah! No, my mother was able to evolve into a special gigantic variant of Lamias, so when she give birth to me, I inherited her race and most of her skills…”

”I see! You are like us! It must have be hard for you to become stronger, isn't it?”

”It really was… However, everything changed when Master came to me! She changed my whole destiny, as if she manipulated the threads of fate themselves!”

”Hahahaha! Indeed! Kireina is a life saver for us too, without him, we would never be able to grow at such speed!”

While Nesi and the Wyverns had a nice conversation, something important that I had saved on my mind came to me.

”Thread of Fate…”

My minds inside my head could not stay silent!

”So you finally remember it huh? I can't blame you; we have been very busy managing this place”

”Indeed… Thread of Fate… a skill we got but that it was instantly sealed… the requirements were incredibly strange…”

”Becoming a God Class being… What is that? What does it really mean to become a God in this world?”

”If there is even such path, it's still too far away from our reach…”

”Master?”

”(But I wonder…)”

”Master?”

”Ah! Nesi, you done talking with the Wyverns?”

”Yes, they told me that they would instruct me on my training, you don't need to worry about me…”

”Ah very well, thanks Abellona, I should go to my room then… by the way, have you seen Nereid?”

Abellona quickly answered.

”Oh, Nereid? She must be in your room sleeping, since you left she had refused to train, she's a very useless fairy”

”Ugh… Thanks, I'll go check on her…”

I quickly flew on my room and found Nereid sound asleep over my bed.

”Ghhhh… Yes… Mor… Beer… geheheh…”

”Is she even talking while sleeping? Ugh… NE-RE-ID!”

Yelling as loud as I could I made the entire room tremble, waking Nereid up immediately!

”Gyyaaaaaaaahhhh! Ma-Masteeerrr! You are back!”

”Yes! I am back! That means that your lazy days are over! Get up immediately!”

”Gyyyaaaaaah! I don't wanna! Let me sleep! Let me sleep! You are so mean! Guaaaahhhh!”

”You got me on my nerves! Activate skill: | PUPPET MASTER |!”

”Noo! Not that! Guuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!”

Suddenly, a strange force took control of Nereid and made her flew to the training grounds!

”Gyaaaaaahhhh! Nooo! Let me alone!”

I moved Nereid outside, and put her on ”Auto Training” until they killed every mob left.

”Geehhh… Snif Snif… Why do I have such a cruel Master?”

After taking care of Nereid issue, I went to the Training Grounds and trained for until the sun settled.

I wanted to do a welcoming feast for Nesiphae (and the new slaves), so I told Chokumotsu to prepare all the meat we had, because of this Lamia immense body, she also eats a lot.

Due to their low intelligence, the new slaves didn't even understand what was going on, but enjoyed the good food nonetheless. Thankfully, Kekensha put them to do very basic tasks so they do not screw up.

”I hope that these guys get some intelligence when evolving…”

After drinking a whole bowl of Beer, Nesiphae became extremely drunk and started to dance around, and singing the songs of the Lamias that her mother taught to her. Zehe also was drunk and finally had a party partner to enjoy their drunkenness.

”Hehehe, no no~ Zehe, you must move your hips like this~ Hehehe…”

”Ooh~ I see! Hnn~!”

”Geehh… Unbeliable… (But Nesiphae hips are to die for…)”

The Feast lasted for very long on the night, until almost everyone passed out on the dining room, with Wagyu and Rimuru help we moved most people to their rooms, and put Nesiphae on my room for now, because her room was not done yet.
