113 Wind Nomads (1/2)
[Day 104]
Today in the morning while everyone was sleeping, I checked on my precious shark twins.
They have grown some centimeters already, but nothing much, I can tell that they might take more time to grow into young adult state than Amiphossia and Ryo.
While the two little sea angels were soundly asleep, I checked on their bodies. Valentia orb which is on her left arm has grown in size, now resembling more of a spherical ball.
Using my [Enhanced Appraisal] I was able to tell that the Orb's name was [Conqueror Orb of the Domination Empress].
Her \”monster\” hand had its own name too and was a byproduct of the blessing from the Demi-God of Shadow Beasts, the hand name was [Beastly Hand of Chimeric Massacre].
Hmm, I can tell that she was born for war…
I realized that unlike my previous two children, the twins only have one orb each, I quickly assumed that Valentia was probably destined to eat her little brother and obtain his orb… That's is a horrible destiny.
Hm, I think that they will be able to obtain more orbs as they evolve anyways.
Aarae's orb is on his forehead and is of a red and blue color, it hasn't changed much but its magical power has increased quite a lot. Far surpassing what Amiphossia had on her second day of life. After inspecting his orb, I discovered that its name was [Aquatic Beast Orb of the Shark Familiar].
According to its description, this orb contains an innate Familiar in the form of a shark that will protect and grow alongside Aarae, although it hasn't shown itself yet.
Leaving the two resting peacefully, I checked on Amiphossia. Her two orbs have also increased in power. And it seems that the one on her belly has been shining brightly as it exudes powerful phantasmal magic.
Ryo's orb on his forehead has grown bigger, adapting to his new and stronger body, it can now make the energy flow easily through his muscles. Also, each orb on his arms has changed to a different color, resembling the elements they represent.
Meanwhile, on Rimuru's belly, I checked on my little Slime baby. Its been quite some time since its formation but it took his own time. It has only grown twice since I last checked it, having the size of three apples. The rainbow-colored pearl that will probably be its core has grown bigger too, way bigger, now reaching the size of an apple. I don't really know when will it be ready, but I could assume than around twenty days.
On Brontes side, our child has grown three times its size, now having a decent size, of around three apples…
I am comparing everything to an apple? It's just easy to understand, everyone has eaten an apple on their goddamn lives, right?
Anyways, Bronte's child has begun to glow very brightly for some reason, perhaps it means its happy? I caressed Brontes's belly while trying to make contact with the baby, and it worked… The baby began to glow even brighter from time to time as if trying to say \”hello\”. It surprised me how intelligent it was while still being in the womb of her mother.
Mady and Adelle have already developed a fetus. Adelle has only one, while Mady has triplets… Well, that's going to be something… I left several flesh and slime minions with them so they can tell me the babies state and health.
I decided to make breakfast for everyone but I encountered the Charlotte, Lilith, and Evan awoken, so they helped while preparing the food. Also, Wagyu and Kekensha returned from their hunt and were sleeping at the side of a big pile of different monsters that they hunted last night.
Aaah, it would be comfy to sleep between the two fluffy boys.
When everyone was awake there was a big breakfast, the twins joined in and interacted a lot with everyone. Although they still didn't know how to talk. Amiphossia loved both of them and held them on her arms. Valentia liked to be lifted the most while Aarae was more fearful.
Suddenly, when Aarae began to cry, the orb on his forehead shined on a bright blue and red light, and a small shark appeared outside of it. The shark appearance was majestic and resembled a young hammerhead shark. Its body seemed to be corporeal, and it was covered on countless red and blue gems. The red light resembled Blade Energy, while the blue light was Water Magic.
The shark quickly approached the crying Aarae and its presence alone seemed to calm him. Such a strange power. However, I won't let a familiar take my job as a parent, so I quickly moved the inoffensive shark away and held the small Aarae on my arms, I began to chant a relaxing lullaby as he quickly calmed down.
\”There, there…\”
\”There's no need to get so sad, Aarae, no one is going to hurt you\”
Aarae looked at me with his beautiful aquamarine eyes while on silence, he seems to have calmed down.
When I tried to put him down, he began to look at me with puppy eyes. When someone else than me or Gaby tried to hold him, he would begin to cry again.
And like this, I spent half of the day playing around with Valentia and Aarae. Amiphossia and Ryo also loved their little brothers so they all played around.
The other half was spent on the last part of the fifth layer that I haven't explored, it was a big piece of \”natural\” forest. In this place, I remember hunting lots of Armored Bears and Two-Headed Crystal Horses.
However, there were more species around too. The hunt started with a big group of Armored Dark Apes, a species of monkeys with towering bodies of 5 meters, with a powerful, almost unbreakable dark-colored armor. They were also able to create weapons out of nowhere, attacking with giant maces, axes, and claymores. However, magic was very effective on them, so they still died quite easily.

The High Kaiser of the group was the strongest, having the ability to summon a giant dark-colored claymore alongside a sturdy dark shield decorated with several red gemstones.
I wanted to kill it myself so I went all out while using my new abilities. I began to get more used to my new moldable aura which I can materialize. I can use it to attack creating giant punches or claws, and even mold it to protect me like a formless cape.
Even the Ape's powerful armor wasn't able to withstand the powerful Pressuring Punches that my aura was able to create, quickly deforming the beast beyond recognition. While doing this barrage of punches, I didn't even need to move. I had to hold the urges to yell \”Ora, Ora, Ora!!!\” as much as I could.
The last giant punch dropped over the Ape Kaiser, completely flattening it into a massive pool of blood.
SPLAT!

I quickly began to devour several apes as I was curious about their flavor, they had a rich beef flavor with a salty end. They didn't have much grease but the flavor of their blood was rather nice.
Aside from the Kaiser soul, the rest was only able to nourish my wives and my children souls.

Next on the menu were what resembled to be Giant Armored Mantises. It seems that everything is wearing an armor on the last zone of the fifth layer… These Mantises came in all shapes and colors, some ferocious-looking ones were bright green colored, while others were of a beautiful pink luster and had somewhat humanoid figures, which is quite alluring.
However, I still killed them all easily with my Intimidation Aura Punches, which were able to smash them into unrecognizable debris of shattered limbs and armor.
More than twenty mantises of different species were killed and then happily devoured.

As it was already getting quite late, we ended the hunt while exploring a little bit of the Vast Plains, and just as we went outside we were greeted by a big group of monsters that resembled the Earth's Mammoth, however, these had three trunks and several spikes on their backs, alongside a deep black fur and giant sizes of more than 30 meters.
Each Mammoth was worth enough food to feed a family for four months. They were very strong and resilient, each one being of High Kaiser, and some even slightly stronger, but still not being able to jump to Overlord.
The hunt took several hours and we ended around 9 PM, however, the EXP gained and the endless supply of meat was worth it.
