Four days had past and I had been killing beasts non stop. Despite killing mobs non stop for four days, there still where hundreds that littered my territory. I'm almost ready to face that massive lion I saw earlier.
So far I had stayed out of its way and tried to not incur its wrath. But that would change tomorrow; tomorrow me and my minions would kill it.
We shall bathe in the blood of the beast and use it as fertiliser for my kingdoms growth.
I was only 40% away from level 20 and I couldn't wait. Even if I do die tomorrow, at least it won't be a major loss. I can just respawn and kill it when it's injured. Sure, that may be a dick move. But I'm a demon. That's what makes me me.
Over the past few days I had expanded my blood minion army, it wasn't a big boost. I had only created another 9 minions to reach my maximum, but they were strong. Each one was a near death experience for me, but now that they were under my control, they weren't nearly as frightening. Each one retained their previous form, there was a demonic lion, shadow tiger, two volcanic bear and 5 steel winged eagles.
Using my abilities as their master I chose their classes; for the lion I chose the Knight class, but as soon as I did the class changed and it developed into a [Blood Knight of the Pride]. Seemingly if I give a beast type minions class, the class will change to better suit the minion. The system also told me that if I collect four more [Blood Knight of the Pride] then as a group their attack will increase by 5%. It was some kind of synergy they gained, I don't really understand it but I will learn.
I also changed the shadow tiger into a Knight but it didn't have the same effect, it only changed into a [Blood Knight]. At first I thought it was because a tiger is a solitary animal, but the bears' classes also changed. Both of them went from Knights to [Volcanic Blood Shields]. Their previously pure blood form became encased in a blanket of Volcanic rocks that seemed indestructible.
Sooo I'm not exactly sure why the tiger didn't change. For the birds, I turned four of them into Healers and one into a Mage. Just imagine it, I'm in the heat of battle, just about to die facing an impossible enemy. Then all of a sudden my blood minions swoop in and lay some fat juicy heals on me and I one shot the enemy.
Unfortunately, all they know right now it [Dispel]. Which has no benefits when fighting a fat lion.
Wrenching my claws out of the skull of my newest victim, I decided to head back home. With the nonstop battle, I hadn't had time to return and see my subordinates progress. Time to see what they've done.
Within minutes I had reached my mountain home, the blood minions of mine have really decided to protect this place. Surrounding the entrance to the cave was a decently large wall of volcanic rock. I say wall but it's really just a few big pointy boulders placed outside, but it seems effective enough.
Quickly clambering over the rocks, I entered the cave and was shocked by it. Not only were my blood minions running about carrying rocks around and mining the walls, but there was a small army of imps that were sparring with each other in the corner. There were roughly 40 imps and each of them attacked their opponent with the will to kill.
Luckily just before one died, their health regenerated and they were fine. It seems that Singwoo had been able to get some type of healer imp. I'll be totally honest, this is wayyy too quick for only 4 days. As this thought entered my head a grin spread across my face, it hadn't even been half a day in real life and my imps were already making great leaps and bounds towards awesomeness.
Mwahahahahahaha I will rule this world.
Anyyyywayyy, as I walked over to the fighting imps, one of the imps reached a claw out to attack me. Before it could reach me though, its head was separated from its shoulders. Blood sprayed all over my tall red body and Singwoo looked up at me with a smile.
"Good to see you again master"
Despite all his attempts to look friendly, his sharp teeth stained with blood and the murderous glint in his eye made it very hard to see him as anything but evil. But that didn't stop me, for I am evil as-well.
"Great to see you Singwoo! How are the new recruits?"
"Despite some vicious fights at the start, things are going great. Your blood minion you ordered to take control of the others in fact had the idea to break up the groups of imps, it seems that the reason for the imps race lack of power is because of our viciousness. When we are first created all we do is fight for supremacy and kill anything that moves; but that means only the ones with physical strength survive, except for some rare occasions of course. So I have stopped all fighting in the pit and have created four sections of imps."
"This is fantastic news Singwoo, it seems my blood minions were useful for something other than swarming big monsters."
"Oh they are fantastic master, not only did they help us they have completely turned this mountain into your territory. Due to them being undead, they have no sense of tiring so they have worked non stop for 4 days. It's quite marvellous. How have you not noticed?"
I mean I had noticed the tunnel stretched further and there were small tunnels that came out from this one, but surely I would have had a notification if I now owned a mountain.
Oh yeahhh, I turned off notifications because it got in the way of my hunting.

Holy crap. I missed out on some fun stuff, welp time to reprimand the culprit.
"Oi you!" I called out to one of my lower levelled blood minions rushing about with stones
"Humph" the minion replied only stopping briefly before rushing back to work.
Oh yeah they can't speak yet, god im dumb.
"Singwoo would you be a dear and bring me the blood minion that killed the guardian?"
"I do not like you calling me that. But yes master I will" Singwoo replied with a confused look on his face
"Thaaaanks" I called after him as he jogged away to find the minion.
It would probably take some time for him to come back, so I might as well look over my rewards.
