After absorbing the elixirs from demons and criminals within the territory, flower killers and various monsters that I hunted with Kaiser in the area took me 4 weeks. My level increased to 30, I understand that a dozen ordinary hunters would increase several levels. I only increased that measly amount because my [Divine System] that integrated a natural dragon soul practically needs resources in large industrial quantities to develop like a dragon.
During that time, the devouring rose that received resources to accelerate its evolution process, ended up opening its petals becoming a devouring queen.
The devouring queen had an appearance of 18 years old, she had a flower crown, a height of 160cm, intense red hair, large breasts, thin waist, round butt, fleshy legs, she was a cute and adorable woman with great beauty, in a green petal dress. She was a gold class, 7 stars, her level limited to 30 by the grimoire, enhancing her natural abilities.
- Do you have the ability to speak Rose? -
- ? - Rose looks at me tilting her head and just hugs me.
- Gugu-
- Linda-
- Rose is just a baby with an adult body master, remember that only at birth we fed her to make her evolve we did not give her life experiences-
- I see, we will take care of that respectively, although how many bodies does she need? -
-Currently 50,000,000 to become a devouring empress-
-She will remain with the desire to evolve, I can't get so many corpses in a few months-
-It's already a life's work, although don't worry master, there are always demonic races, criminals in life, considering that the life expectancy of a hunter exceeds 100 and considering that you have a dragon soul you can't easily measure up to having a short life naturally-
The dragon soul in my body practically turns me into a half dragon with a truly long and extensive life expectancy, so I shouldn't worry too much in that field of time, I should make sure to live it correctly.
I left Linda in Rose's care, she's the best one who can take care of her anyway.
-------
I decided to return to the capital on Kaiser which would take 2 and a half hours from the city of Lancaster, on Kaiser's back were Loise, Natalia, Anastasia, Devora, Moly and Amethyst left several managers in charge of rebuilding and renovating the dragon cave businesses.
- How can we be so comfortable without falling? -Moly
- There is a natural barrier that breaks the air to prevent us from falling-
- It's incredible, by the way, Ruby aren't you a little big, you look like a 10 year old girl-Moly
- I managed to develop after squeezing the milk out of the knights of the Lancaster family-
- It sounds so bad in many ways-Anastasia
- I will ignore your comments, since I only used my tail anyway-
- Devora, how do you think business will go?
-I would like to tell you that excellent, Mrs. Lancaster made things easier to develop the mafia, hopefully in the next few months we will be working-
-I'm glad, by the way, it was necessary to market myself-
-I love you remember that you have a fan club-
-I'm not a creator of a cult-
-Don't worry, they are just teenage fans, mature women and girls who admire and respect you, thinking about you at night, those photos are necessary for fan service-
-As long as it doesn't get out of hand I don't care that much-
Leaving the fan service aside, I had Kaiser take the train route to leave Linda flowers creating a system that interconnected the capital of the Lancasters.
We arrived at the city keeping Kaiser in stuffed animal mode that is placed on my shoulder letting him rest. We used a transport already called to take the princesses to their house, Loise, Devora, Amethyst, Ruby and Moly stayed in another transport with me.
- Loise, isn't it your job to keep the princesses?
-My job, as my mother said, is to stay with you and ensure descendants-
-Okay, you know you're not that old, right?
-Clearly, it's over time-
-Well, anyway, I was planning to buy a house-
-Are you going to leave the inn?
-Kaiser needs a space where he can stretch his legs without causing too much trouble, I plan to buy a villa of some kind-
-Let's go straight to some real estate-
In the reputable real estate organization in the capital, there was a pretty merchant showing me some villas in the capital, I was looking at them and curiously something curious caught my attention.
-Why is this one relatively cheap compared to the others?
-That villa has a bad reputation-
-Why?
-Many owners have died mysteriously, it is said that it is cursed and haunted-
-I'm interested in seeing it-
-Why Dante? -Ruby
-Didn't you hear that it was cursed and haunted-Loise
-I'm curious why it's so dangerous, besides it's a bargain I just have to reduce the danger-
-If you have money to spare-
-I can give you some if you're short-
-You who live in luxury, don't understand the opportunities of the offers-
(You're the one who doesn't understand, you have money and still have a poor mentality)
-------------
We arrived at a villa that has 1k square of territory with an unkempt lawn, we entered the deteriorated villa and I used {Unlimited Vision} to study the terrain finding a lot of death energy in the lower part of the villa. Loise and Ruby accompanied me.
-I found the problem, let's go to the basement-
-We seriously have to take the hard way-
- Are you afraid of ghosts? One practically has the power to purify them and the other, well, it depends on me, they should be more afraid of the living, those are more dangerous-
-Dante, just because you have a strong mentality doesn't mean we're the same-
-Even I, who have the ability to fight ghosts, get scared-
We entered the basement and some knives flew towards my position, I only avoided them with {Shadow Mastery}.
-Get out of my house-A spectral voice is heard.
-HIII-Ruby and Loise cling to my back.
-In terms of property, it's mine, so refrain from saying it's yours-
-This is my home, get out!
The stairs and everything begin to deform, Kaiser uses a layer of fire to protect us by melting our way. As we advance deeper into the basement receiving different attacks from the burning furniture in the house, I begin to use {Shadow Mastery} opening a hole in the basement finding a secret room full of blood inscriptions and the corpse of a girl was found, on top of the corpse was a black spirit.
- Get out of my house!
Everything begins to shake strongly as I stretch my shadow grabbing her by the neck applying {Shadow Devourer},
-AHHHHH-
The house stopped shaking as I ripped the energy out of this girl weakening her a lot leaving her tied in ropes.
- Let me go pervert! I'll kill you!
-Aha, let's call Celeste-
Celeste came in an expensive car guarded by Gabriel.
-Dante-Celeste happily hugs me literally jumping hugging me with arms and legs giving me a kiss.
-I have some good news-
- What good news?
-Some souls that you gave me to purify from the flower killer, want to meet you to see if they can serve you, as part of your undead army-
-We will talk about that later, help me purify-
Celeste found the spirit of the girl in the room.
-They were performing sacrifices in this room, it seems that they are rituals of worship to the demon god, this girl must have been involved staying as a vengeful spirit, considering that Miss Loise is here with the same element, why didn't you use her? -
-Loise is not good at purifying or healing others, but fighting and using her power to hurt and heal herself-
-I understand it's like the holy knights who don't have the best healing and purification capabilities, that's the job of the clerics, I'll take care of it-
-I'm going to kill them all-
-Now, now soul in pain let me relieve your anger-Celeste uses her powers to purify the body and soul of that girl.
-AHHHHH-
The girl suffered while the evil was removed from her body.
-GROOOO-
A demonic beast appears from the girl's body trying to attack Celeste.
Dark releases a tornado of darkness from my hand devouring the demonic beast by sucking it in. Later, the beast that disappeared, the purification process was better.
-The demonic beasts ended up devouring souls to stay alive and current, perhaps all the victims you mentioned were devoured by it, they used the girl's soul as a catalyst-Celeste
-I see-
The girl ended up purified, becoming a soul.
-I don't want to die, I don't want to disappear, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to-
-You can go with the goddess to rest in her field of flowers-
-No, no, no, no, I don't want to go, I don't want to, no, no, leave me, leave me, stop, Help-
-It seems that the purification is being difficult-
-The girl is holding on tightly-
I look at the girl who was desperate.
-Stop Celeste-
The girl was scared while she was tied up.
-Why do you want to stay in this world? You already died and you can have a chance to be reborn-
-...I...don't want to disappear...without taking revenge-
-Against who?
-The demon who used my mother and me as sacrifices-
I review my memories finding the image of a single mother merchant and her daughter meeting a rich man. After a season living together, the man made them a sacrifice to summon demonic beasts. The result was that with her mother it was a success, but with the girl it went out of control attacking the companions, the man barely escaped alive and she was left tied up unable to leave devouring the tenants by the beast.
- Do you want to stay to fulfill your revenge?
- Hmmp-
- If I promise you that I will do it, are you going to rest?
- I want to see it with my own eyes and go with my mother who must be in the hands of that bastard-
- Ok, mmm, I think I can help you-
- Dante if we do not purify her she will obtain impurities and become a vengeful spirit- Celeste
- Do not worry so much- I said calmly stretching my threads surrounding the girl's body creating a divine system with my shadow I end up recovering a certain physical level. - How do you feel?
-… Am I alive?
-You are being sustained by my energy-
-That's only temporary-Celeste
-I also needed a maid to clean the house, she has mental powers to make things easier for them, you take care of the household chores and I promise to find your mother's murderer and then promote them, is that okay with you? -
-…Hmmp-
-Stop crying now-I said caressing her head.
-…Thank you, thank you-
He smiled caressing her head softly.
-Dante is always very good with girls-Celeste
-Yes, it's a little annoying to see him flirt with others-Ruby
-You should control your impulses Dante-Loise
-Now one can't be good to anyone, what's your name little one? –
-Sebastiana-
-Sebastiana, I'm Dante Black, I'll be taking care of you-
---------------------
Sebastiana ended up taking care of the house using her telekinetic powers to clean it and make it habitable. In the process of cleaning Celeste took out the Flower Stealer crystal showing me some women, there were a total of 100 women.
- Who is the leader of all of them?
- It's me-
A woman with white and golden hair took the lead.
- Who are you, Miss?
- I'm Carleen, former saint of the church of the goddess of sacred light, those behind me are knights and hunters who were outraged and killed by Flower Killer, who have formed a relationship with me-
- I'm surprised that a saint is willing to become undead instead of taking promotion-
- I want to take revenge on that perverted bastard-
- I see, I'm not really a person who collects zombies, how can you help me?
-Through a sacred oath I can become a fighting force-
- Why didn't you decide the saint in front of you?
-Because you are our benefactor, above all I prefer to serve a man than a woman-
-Are you serious-
-Yes, I don't want to serve a woman-
-I'm curious to know the reason-
-As a woman I prefer to serve a man than a woman-
A pretty simple reason.
-Ok, how do you plan to make that sacred oath?
The saint ended up kneeling, taking drops of blood from my hand forming a type of pattern formation on the ground with my blood and each of the girls lighting up, forming a cross-shaped necklace with black and crimson wings with a sacred point. When it finished flying to my hands curiously I put it on injecting energy from the necklace the 100 girls appeared in armor similar to each other with weapons between black, crimson, gold and white.
Saint Carleen took off her helmet.
- What did you become?
- We became sacred guardians-
- What are their scopes?
- Our scopes are limited to the master's perception, our levels are similar to the master, the same as our natural elements are sacred and light with the master's properties that are death and darkness, our limitations are that we need energy from the master to function actively, although we have our own divine energy, we can be destroyed if our souls are damaged-
- I see, is this a common practice in the church? -
- In my time, knights who were going to die or the old ones were immortalized by becoming sacred guardians protecting the high sacred figures, I believe that they still carry out such practices currently-
- I understand, practically a type of necromancy or similarity to the formation of guardian fairies of the elves, can I continue collecting more? -
-You just need to collect souls in your army that are willing to serve you or force them-
-I understand, Ok, I guess a security force, Carleen you were a powerful saint-
-I reached diamond rank in my prime master-
-Celeste is my wife and practically indirectly your master, that girl you see there is also my wife and has sacred elements, could you teach them some knowledge? -
-If it's an order I have no problems master-
-Is there something you want as a reward?
-The flower killer's head
-We want the flower killer's head-
I take out a video of the murder process showing it to everyone.
-She has 5 extra bodies living and kicking at the moment, my mother-in-law is currently gathering income to investigate these bastards on the continent, at least I can assure that I have helped eliminate some-
-WOOOO-The girls shouted excitedly.
-We will help you master-
-Ok, help in the cleaning and tidying of the house, Carleen or those who have sacred energy help Celeste and Loise to get better-
-Understood master-
-…Mr. Black-
-What's wrong Mr. Gabriel?
-…I can receive education from that saint-
-Go ahead, as long as you do your job and don't be useless-
-Hmmp-
Ruby approached me seeing all the girls moving around in the cleaning helping Celeste.
-Dante you made a personal security force of sexy women-Ruby
-Well, even I'm surprised-
While the whole house was being cleaned and tidied up, I practically made the payments in platinum, actively paying to bring the furniture to fix the house. In that process of building the home I made a dream server with Linda creating a field of dreams where the girls were sent their souls to rest.
Carleen was educating them about sacred energy to Celeste, Loise and Mr. Gabriel by actively listening to the in-depth education of an ancient being from approximately 1,400 years ago. She was already old when she was killed.
- Carleen, if you were so strong, why were you killed?
-I lived in a prison practically there were many powerful men at that time and I was a decorative representative with many responsibilities due to my position, in that a man helped me escape from my restrictions I had fallen in love in that escape from the church, then he stabbed me showing me his disgusting and fat appearance raping me to death-
-Your story is quite sad-Ruby
-Yes, I can even empathize with you, Dante saved me from the demons that controlled the church where I was staying, he kidnapped me, made me his wife and killed the demons practically becoming a sponsor of the church and the orphanage keeping all the men in control-
-I'm glad my master is such a good person-
-By chance you didn't want Celeste because of your experiences in the church-
-Hmmp-
-Ok, I won't say too much about the subject, I plan to kill the flower killer because he is a threat to Loise eh even if the church tries to take over Celeste causing that Same miserable fate, she will end up dying by my hand, so don't worry too much-
-Hmmp-
-If one day you want to rest by reaching the goddess, don't doubt that I can purify and free you, I'm not particularly someone who enjoys enslaving other people, Miss Carleen-
Carleen puts her hand on her chest.
-The life of service is not slavery, it is a decision and will made from the heart for the benefit of your lord and master, I do not feel enslaved until my body and my life ends I will be at your service-
-I understand, we will look for the heads of flower killers at another time, any other reward in mind, my perception for the flower system is great so you can explore the entire capital and part of the Lancaster territory, also the dream server is wide to have some pseudo freedom, so do not feel pressured, I am not a noble or looking for fights unnecessarily with the public since my plan is not to conquer the world, it is enough for me to have the power to protect myself and protect my loved ones-
-Understood, thank you very much master, I am amazed and grateful for your kindness-
-Hmmp, good continue with your training-
I went to the garden connecting with Linda and Rose observing the map of both cities, later in the flower I send my energy to a specific flower applying {Shadow Mastery} creating a channel of long distance that opens a door and I end up appearing at the entrance of the Lancaster house. At that moment I enter the door appearing in the Lancaster house. I check the flower that gave me the entrance and Lala appears.
- Dante weren't you in the capital?
- I'm testing a long distance transportation system- I said opening the door again with my shadow watching my kick
- Do you want to come in?
Lala enters the door noticing my kick.
- Where are we?
- I bought a house your daughter is studying with the current and old saint, I'm testing the transportation system may facilitate the transportation of goods from Devora and I would charge for using my long distance transportation channel to merchants between both cities-
-I see, that's something impressive huh incredible, you could also send an army-
- Why did you think of military issues? Do you see me as a terrorist?
-No, just a man with the strength of an army-
I roll my eyes.
-Although it is a problem, I do not have such interests or unpleasant hobbies of invading, leaving that aside, the transportation of goods would be much easier, if you are interested in immediate transportation I will only charge freight-
-Sure, I will take advantage to visit my husband and see my daughter-
