Chapter 61: A Welcoming Feast (2/2)
”Ah! With such words I am satisfied!”
”My lord, such a beautiful smile!”
”We love you, my lord!”
”This is merely the work of your devoted servants, please, do not mind it!”
”My lord's smile is the most beautiful.”
”I am glad you're happy, my lord!”
”Please, eat everything as much as you want!”
”We want you to grow stronger!”
The many voices of ghosts, colossus, skeletons, living armors, demons, slimes, and more resonated through the entire castle, everyone was fascinated by their lord's words, as the devoted monsters that they were, the happiness of their master was their greatest goal in life.
Seeing him happy and even smiling was the greatest feeling of happiness they could experience, it filled them with passionate devotion.
Some bold ones such as Abyss quickly hugged him, as Chaos petted her head.
”Master Chaos, I am glad we could make your day!” she said.
”Yes, it surprised me, in a good way. Let's go eat, I am starving,” said Chaos with a mild smile, as everyone quickly moved everything into the large throne room, many tables and seats were set as several ghosts and Abyss clones, alongside orcs that were good at cooking began to prepare everything into delicious plates. Large steaks of roasted meat, delicious, skewered meat, meatloaf, meatballs, and much more, it was a feast of meat from all sorts of creatures!
There were around a dozen of monsters he had never seen before, Chaos was rather surprised, some of them seemed like giant turtles or wyverns, while others resembled large snakes. There were mostly reptiles, as those were the type of monsters that roamed around here the most.
As Chaos began to devour a giant turtle by himself, Belphegor and Abyss ate at his side and explained to him some things.
”My lord, it seems that due to your high density of miasma, many monsters around the enormous island are moving to our territory, seeking your miasma,” said Belphegor.
”Is that so? Why?” asked Chaos.
”Miasma seems to be the lifeblood of monsters, especially those on this planet, who feed on it the most. Also, monsters that remain in places with high densities of miasma are usually healthier and can reproduce quicker, so coming near such a big source means that they can live and prosper,” said Belphegor.
”The thing is that they wanted to destroy the castle to reach you, so we killed them until they stopped coming! But I believe that more might arrive in a few more hours, after all this island is infested with monsters, and all the dungeons keep producing them nonstop!” said Abyss, who was rather knowledgeable after being taught many things by Belphegor.
”I see. I wonder if they would want to become my tamed pets,” said Chaos.
”Hmm… They seemed way too fierce, perhaps if you beat them to almost death!” said Belphegor.
”I see, perhaps,” said Chaos, munching a giant eyeball.
