Numerous thoughts rushed through My mind, has this human discovered my existence ?
Over The paths few months my knowledge has grown regarding these lands. The Republic of dukha is filled with religious zealots that forbid the worship of any other god and have been know to burn individuals alive who suspicion of being possessed by demons.
Unlike me lesser demons who managed to get summoned her usually threaten and try a hostile takeover of their selected host which causes them to go insane and commit acts of violence. This is due the innate desire for consuming life force to feed and strengthen oneself and random murders are the quickest way to secure that.
But that almost always results in the getting killed by inquisitors and the demon is banished back to hell due to backlash or through some arcane incantations.
System does every demon possess the same abilities?
[Negative, Each demon is a unique existence that might share some basic skills but specialized skills of each demon varies greatly]
So what is my specialization then?
[Host specializes in altering and transformation]
Hmm so it seems like not everyone can alter their possessed individual like me but it also leaves the possibility of other abilities that might be even more potent then mine.
"I don't need to hide when I got these babies", Do by kisses his bicep while flexing
" Good we could use a brute like you, How would you like to be a member of the Iron guard of albion?",
Its seems like this knight was looking to recruit Dobby into the infamous Iron guard which is elite unit composed of veterans and the most skilled individuals that have caught the eye of the empire. The members are paid a decent salary and are exempt from regular soldier duties with their Only task being to cause as much carnage and damage to the enemy.
Unlike Dukha, Albion is a militaristic nation with focus on individual ability and lack of moral high ground with majority of population not having a particular Deity to believe in which excellent for me as They will not suspect Dobby of being possessed.
(ATLEAST NOT FOR NOW )
*Accept his offer*
"I agree "
"We will offer yo-"
"Wait you agreed that easily?"
"Is there a problem?"
"No, that actually saves me some time. Follow me".
The knight led Dobby to a large barracks built with darkened bricks and half rotten wood looking more like a slaughter house.
Soldiers stared at Dobby but quickly reverted their gaze as they were quite intimidated by the barbaric visage of Dobby as well as his musculature which Only intensified the aura of oppression.
We were led into a seperate building built inside the barracks where the members of the Iron guard resided.
" This is a special area reserved for the member of the iron guard, You will be granted new equipment, weapons and food but to access advanced equipment as well as other privileges you must raise your rank and of now you only rank 4 which is just above the lowest rank 5."
"So your saying I get free food?
" That is indeed correct "
"So I don't have to pay for it?"
"You don't have to pay for a dime but we do expect you to pay back the empire by slaughtering its enemies"
"Consider it done, God will be so happy"
"Hum, didn't thought you were the religious type but anyhow here is your quarters anyways I'm Buckman ",
Buckman gave Dobby a brief tour of the facility before heading off
*What shall we do now my lord*
*Go feast my chosen one, Food shall strengthen your flesh*
Through various experiments i have discovered a bit more regarding the nature of my own abilities. Every direct alteration that I do drains my energy which the system calls Dark Mana which roughly translates to demon energy that basically the life energy being transformed into a Demon's power after being absorbed.
Spending too much dark mana send me into A coma like state where I can't even communicate with Dobby so to conserve Dark mana I have figured out that I could strengthen Dobby in an alternate way.
Instead of directly making his muscles stronger i'll make him excerise which will break them down then I can rebuild them stronger with the protein rich diet that Dobby consumes. Although this process is much slower then direct strengthening but it does save my energy.
Dobby walked into the cafeteria, stares from all sides fell on him. The men and women here were all veterans of war and were no new to bloodshed, they assessed the newbie who can so casually walked in but made no moves.
The chief was a fat man with his ginormous belly nearly falling down his knee joint.
"Ahh a new face, What can I get you big man"
"Meat, Lots of meat"
The chief gave a smirk and went into the kitchen. After 5 minutes he walked out with a large plate carrying almost 7.5kg in chunks of meat
"Hmm guess this would suffice for a wild man lile you", The chief smiled while examining Dobby" s muscles.
Dobby headed to an empty table and dug into the flesh like a straving wolf. I had already strengthened his stomach over the months so digestion was not an issue but one thing was sure that Dobby's appatite was growing with each meal as well as his muscle mass and stature even the epidermis of his skin was much tougher than a regular human.
As Dobby was almost done With his meal water poured on his head from above.
7 men stood behind Dobby all dressed head to toe in iron armor without helmets most probably soldiers selected from the regular army of Albion.
"I haven't seen your ugly mug around", said the one who poured water all over Dobby's gead ",
" The newbie don't know his place,sitting at our table like he owned the place", added another.
All the people in the cafeteria now had their gaze fixed on Dobby.
