While Alros want to check some other stuff, especially with his massive amount of SP and LP, he decided to take a stop at the Extraction Magic Circle, as he had use for the equipment.
"Let see if it have any use now," he exclaimed to himself as he put a cup of his blood into the magic circle.
< Extracting - There is Greater Demon Essence + Lust Essence inside the material. Extract the two material.
Cost: 200 MP >
He choose to do it, watching as the magic circle light hp before the two newly separated materials make it into his hand.
He quickly check their description, only to gasp slightly.
< Greater Demon Essence - The essence of a Greater Demon. Is more potent and more powerful than a Demon Essence. Being infused by this essence will possess strength far superior to it's regular demonic counterpart.
However, with require the infused creatures to be strong or it might not be able to handle the power >
< Middle-Grade Lust Essence - The essence of lust. Caused the creature infused to be fill with lust. The creature can also transmit the lust aura, making anything that come into contact with it to be lustful. Can now effect stronger creatures >
"Looks like the materials connected to me improve, but I need to make sure that it will not have any adverse effect," he said to himself before calling an unturned goblin.
Ordering the goblin enter the Transmutation Magic Circle, he quickly use it, putting the Greater Demon Essence as he watched the goblins screeched, it's body bulging and turning grotesque right before it exploded, much to his disguise.
"Looks like the goblins could not handle it. The essence must be too strong for them. Let's try it with a wolf instead," he said, ready for another experiment.
-x-
"All of our effort had lead to failure," Alros moan, as he slammed his forehead on the table. Even with his best effort, the creatures infused with the blood of Greater Demon did not survive, exploding in less than a minute.
At the this point, Alros started to be frustrated. With how strong some humans could be, he need a way to create very powerful and reliable warriors in a short time.
However, he started to lose hope, as even his ingenuity could not deal with something like that. He ponder over his best decision before his eyes fell on one of his goblins.
He quickly order for it to come, the goblins now to him. A quick check on him determined that the goblins is strong. He started to feel hesitant as he will need a lot of power in the future and sacrificing one of his stronger goblins would reduce his strength.
After a while, he decided to go through it, as they say, no risk, no reward. He get the Demonic Goblin into the Transmitation Magic Circle before pouring the Greater Demon Essence into it.
Soon, the light glow as the Demonic Goblin scream, yet it did not turn into a grotesque form. It merely get hit by the red lightning emitted, roaring in pain.
As the light dim, a goblin emerged, different than before. It now grew taller, almost twice 20 cm compared to regular goblin. It also seem to possess thicker skin as they can put a dent on a rock.
It also possessed a horn, a mere stub but still a horn. The goblin look at him before bowing.
He nodded at the goblim before looking at it stat, whistling as he sees a rather obscene stat for a goblin.
< Greater Demonic Goblin - Created from a Demonic Goblin and a Greater Demon Essence. Possessed greater strength than a demonic goblin due to being a a greater demonic variant. Can likely face off against a soldier on it's own.

"Looks like there are some improvement," while it may seem like a weak improvement, an increase in grade of any attributes is incredible, as he knew it first hand.
"Should I test the new variant soon?" he asked. After thinking about it, he decided to do so. After all, he have to make sure they are worth the investment.
-x-
With how he had destroyed all the settlements in the area and three companies of soldiers, no doubt they will be increasing the number of forces in this part of the forest.
However, it offer an opportunity for him to test his forces, as long as the numbers did not exceed his limit. It seem his luck is great as he found group of soldiers patrolling using Mana Sense, a skill he had bought for the occasion.
"Besides from you, I can also see how much I have improved," Alros exclaimed before getting closer to the group, a squadran worth from what he had Alina told him. He let out a giggle.
"5 people. 10 Demonic Goblins, 5 Demonic Wolves, 1 Greater Demonic Goblin, and 1 Greater Demon. Let's see how they handle us,"
-x-
The squadron could barely react when 10 Demonic Goblins jump on them. However, they manage to gain a distant from them. A more powerful present cause them to freeze in fear, though.
"A-a demon!" one of the soldiers screamed in terror as Alros walked towards them, his Greater Demonic Goblins by his side. Smiling cruelly, he pointed at the scared one and ordered, "Kill them all,"
The Greater Demonic Goblin attack the scared one, only to be block by another. Yet, he changed his target, battling against the one that block, quickly pushing the other guy to the defensive.
As for the rest, they found themselves badly outnumbered, the Demonic Goblins strength and skill make it hard for them to hold on. Alros keep watch as he observe his newly transformed goblin began to overpowered the soldiers before manage to make him fall.
This seal the fate of the soldiers as he was killed. Seeing this, Alros decided to end this farce and swoop in. His claws easily tear through them before he stop at the last one, punching him in the gut instead.
As the last soldiers kneeled, he make sure to lift the man's head and stare him in the eyes.
"This part of the forest belong to me, Greater Demon Alros. Make sure your superior know it, or they will be consequences," the soldier nodded in fear before he released the man, the soldier fleeing as quickly as possible.
[ Is that really a smart decision? ]
"They will focus here, while we are inside the human territory, my dear Laili,"
