[Day 76]

Today after having a nice bath and breakfast, I discussed with my wives and servants about the appearance of the [Five Radiant Champions], so they can recognize them if they ever came across them.

I didn't tell me to fight them, it was the contrary, I told them to instantly run whenever they seem them. Although I have a general knowledge about their strength, they could still have various tricks that I am not aware of, and I don't want to risk their lives pointlessly.

And about the [Ten Elemental Knights], they are certainly weaker than the Champions, however, their power comes from battling together. As long as there are more than three together, they can power up using a special skill named [Elemental Connection], which shares their powers. Fighting ten would be suicide, as each Knight power would be ten times as stronger, having a power comparable to a Champion.

I will need to hunt them down one by one, well, it's not like I was planning on fighting them head-on.

Because they were so many, I will resume their information as much as I can.

The first Elemental Knight is the [Elemental Knight of Fire], he's named is David Armand. He is a young man with a flaming hair and crimson eyes, with a wild personality. He wears a bright red armor and possesses a [Unique+] [Fire Bringer Blade].

The second Elemental Knight is the [Elemental Knight of Water], she is named Amanda Auger. She is a young woman which is described to have incredible beauty, she possesses a long and blue hair alongside sapphire eyes, her personality is calm as water. She wears a bright blue light armor and possesses a [Unique+] [Water Slicing Rapier].

The third Elemental Knight is the [Elemental Knight of Wind], he is a half-elf named Haemir Qinric. He is a young-looking elf with a cocky personality; however, he is described to be a beauty, and even men fall in love with him. He has long blonde hair and emerald eyes. He wears a bright light green armor and wields the [Unique+] [Slashing Winds Lance].

The fourth Elemental Knight is the [Elemental Knight of Thunder], he is a dazzling young noble named Adam Rudhale. This man often likes to talk about his beauty and how he despises ugly things. He has a short golden hair and dazzling blue eyes. He wears a bright yellow armor and wields the [Unique+] [Zapping Shortsword]

The fifth Elemental Knight is the [Elemental Knight of Shadows], she is named Sybilla Cassy, a rather mysterious and silent woman with long black hair and crimson eyes. She doesn't come from any wealthy noble family and only is a commoner. It's been said that she is friends with the Champion of Black Flames. She wears a black colored light armor and wields the [Unique+] [Twin Shadow Daggers].

The sixth Elemental Knight is the [Elemental Knight of Nature], she is named Faylen Qinric, a half-elf who is cousins with the [Elemental Knight of Wind]. However, her personality is calmer and gentler. She has long blonde hair and emerald eyes with a slim figure. She wears a black green-colored armor and wields the [Unique+] [Verdant Rose Longsword].

The seventh Elemental Knight is the [Elemental Knight of Earth], he is named Gerard Ludovicus, a young and promising man that came from a special tribe of people that were very close to the earth and possessed natural Earth magi talent. He has a slim yet muscular figure, brown hair, and eyes and a cheerful personality. He wears a brown-colored armor that seems rusted at first glance and wields the [Unique+] [Earth Calling Axe].

The eighth Elemental Knight is the [Elemental Knight of Poison], she is named Elora Erceran, an old half poison elf woman who despite the nature of her element, is a very cheerful and gentlewoman. She has a sexy body with long purple hair and pink eyes. She wears a purple-colored armor and wields the [Unique+] [Poisonous Thorns Whip].

The ninth Elemental Knight is the [Elemental Knight of Gemstones], she is the youngest and newest of the team, named Saeko Hoseki. She comes from a family that possesses the extremely rare Gemstone Magic. She is a young girl with a small size, red hair and rainbow gem-like eyes. She wears a light red armor and wields the [Unique++] [Gemstone of Blight], which are floating gemstones that amplifies her magic.

Lastly, the tenth Elemental Knight is the [Elemental Knight of Holy], he is the oldest of the group but his appearance resembles a young 25 years old man. He's named Reynold Goodwill, who comes from a central continent noble family that settled on the Kingdom long ago. He possesses an incredibly strong Holy Magic. He's as strong as a Champion.

He has a towering body of around 213 cm, short white hair, and bright yellow eyes. His personality is rather calm and peaceful, but it is said that he has a twisted and fanatic side. He wears a resplendent white armor and wields the [Unique+++] [Holy Judgement Claymore].

The reasons as to why he has not Rank Up to a Champion are unknown, but some say that its because he hasn't completed a certain condition on his [Epic].

Hmm, they are certainly a dangerous bunch, especially the last one. I really want to know more about that Gem Magic, I wonder how strong it could be.

It took so long to explain these characters that it was already quite late, so we rushed to our daily activities.

As always, everyone did their workouts as intended and afterward, we trained to fight a big army of Undead of around two thousand. The mermen joined this time, which alleviated the pressure on my servants. Still, because some were too weak, I had to constantly heal them as they defeated monsters for the rest of the day.

[You gained 548700 EXP] [The rest of your servants gained tons of EXP]

[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 66/70 EXP 0281037/1247000]

[Your servants gained tons of levels!]

After inspecting that everyone was healthy and safe, I noticed that Adelle just needed around ten more levels for evolution, and she was looking forward to this. Mady, Gaby, and Brontes also joined on the training today, but they are still quite far from their next evolution. Wagyu is also steadily approaching his desired evolution.

Before dinner, I decided to play around with Mao, my draconic lion mount. Well playing around mostly means sparring, but it was rather fun. Afterward, I went to visit Guubo and brought him some new Familiar meat, this included Three-Headed Leviathan and Sea Serpents.

Recently, Guubo has been making friends with surviving spirits around the forest, alongside the Dryads, most of them recognize him as the new [Sacred Forest Guardian] by now. He has also learned how to speak with spirits and also gained the ability to split himself into small clones, similar to my flesh minions. He can use them to further scout the forest. I ordered him to send some around the outside world, and retrieve any information that my flesh and slime minions couldn't get.

Tonight, dinner was rather tasty, it was grilled Ice Rabbit Meat alongside boiled potatoes and veggies and some kind of barbeque sauce which went excellent with everything. There are also a lot of new ingredients and spices from the Aquaria Kingdom alongside delicious Starfish Dew, which I cannot get tired of.

Although we wanted to have some night activities tonight, due to the delicate state of Zehe, who is about to give birth in the next days, we contained ourselves to respect her resting time.

[Day 77]

Today I was woken up by Nereid and Kjata, which was rather unexpected. They seemed to have joined forces into the battle that is gaining my attention…

In the end, these two followed us around almost everywhere. I slowly began to get used to their company.

Because Adelle already had her own ring, I decided to make one for Mady today, so I spent a big chunk of the day into it.

After several hours, it was done. The ring was named [Hypnotizing Kraken Soul Silver Ring], it was actually a unique recipe that I designed using several [Oceanic Spirit Kraken Orb]. The results were unexpected, as it ended up on a rather high-quality ring, being of [Unique] class right off the bat.

I still wanted to forge it into a [Enhanced Hypnotizing Kraken Soul Golden Ring], but I decided to leave that for tomorrow and began working on more accessories for the girls. The ideal goal is to make an entire set of equipment. Now, I will craft a second accessory on the form of a bracelet, I won't make a third accessory so they can equip any other accessory they want.

I spent the next six hours crafting two bracelets for Rimuru and Zehe. These were [Rainbow Clairvoyance Bracelet] and [Shadow Perception Bracelet].

I also thought about the idea of making something for Amiphossia, so without even eating anything, I spent the following four hours diligently crafting an accessory for my beautiful daughter.

The result was beautiful… it was named [Spiritual Poisonous Soul Orb Necklace], I made this one using several Orbs and Soul Cores of the monsters I've devoured. It was of [Unique+] class! And granted several bonuses on her stats, as if it were a full armor in just an accessory, to add to this, it came with [Forge Evolution] and [Body Adaptability].

While I was crafting this accessory, I naturally gained some insights on crafting and alchemy. One was that I was able to synthesize certain items that come with special abilities into crafting materials and then pass on those abilities to the accessory. I managed to get [Body Adaptability] on this item this way.

Now that I discovered this way, I could easily customize the items, even more, selecting different accessories and equipment on the crafting book. Craft them, turn them into crafting materials and then craft even stronger equipment.

The possibilities were endless, I could easily turn a simple ring into a powerful relic that could rival some gods works!

But it would take time… An immense amount of time…

Aah, I'm tired… What hour is it?

8 PM?!

Without realizing, I spent the entire day on the workshop working nonstop.

I quickly met with my wives in the dining room and had a comforting meal before quickly falling asleep on my bed.

[Day 78]

Today I had a meeting with the entire Crafting, Alchemy and Blacksmithing team, there was Redgaria present too. I spent half of the day teaching them the new insight I learned yesterday. Even Redgaria didn't knew about this and was incredibly shocked about such an obvious way to accumulate endless unrelated Skills on an Item.

However, instead of calling me a crazy monster, he praised me and looked at me with admiration. I didn't detect a single bit of lying on his words, they were very honest.

"With this method, even I, who has such a weak body, can gain immense power. I need power, the power to save my sister, and this will indeed help me reach this goal"

Unlike other days, Redgaria stayed on the workshop trying this new method, although he failed several times, due to his mastery and natural talent, he learned how to do this after the third try.

Kusuri and Kajiya also learned this method in conjunction, as each one just specialized in one area, and this method required multi specialization.

As everyone tried and experimented with this new method, I decided to spend the rest of the day with Nesiphae and Ami's egg. There was Adelle, Kjata, and Nereid with us too. Mady has recently been training on the Training Grounds and has grown to like sparring with others.

Adelle has already reached the max level today and will most likely evolve tonight on the Aquaria Kingdom. I wonder if her body will mature more if she evolves, or she will only gain strength.

After a delicious and hearty dinner, I slept without any problems. Because Zehe was on my side, I could hear the baby's heartbeats. It was growing very strong.

I didn't want to spy on its body with [Mystic Eyes] and left his gender and appearance to be a surprise when he is born.

[Day 79]

Today I was woken up by Adelle who successfully evolved last night.

Her new appearance was… Mystical, to say to least.

It seems that if a royal bloodline merman manages to evolve, they will become [Sacred Mermen]. These mermen are extremely skilled in various types of magic and hold immense potential.

Adelle evolved into a [Sacred Spiritual Koi Mermaid], just as I supposed, her appearance did change a little bit, her size grew some centimeters and she gained a small pair of breasts. Her hips grew wider and her hair became dazzling, with a beautiful golden luster. Her fishtail became longer and was covered on [Sacred Koi Scales], which were as hard as Adamantine.

I checked her stats and there was a substantial increase in her Strength, Speed, and Magic, alongside a new class.

[NAME: Adelle 

[CLASS: Sacred Queen of the Dazzling Waters

[RACE: Sacred Spiritual Koi Mermaid

[LEVEL 01/200 EXP 000000/500000

[STATUS: Excellent

[DEFENCE: 175

[MAGIC: 196

[RESISTANCE: 251 

[SPEED: 214 

[CHARISMA: 120

[LUCK: 10

[NEW SKILLS]

[Blessing of the Demi-Goddess of Sacred Spirits Quemella] [Sacred Spiritual Koi Scales]

[Sacred Regeneration] [Sacred Spiritual Mermaid Flesh and Blood] [Holy Spiritual Magic]

[Holy Foresight] [Sacred Charm] [Holy Dignity] [Imposing Sacred Presence]

[Familiar Summoning Magic: Sacred Koi Dragon] [Sacred Holy Koi Shield]

[Spiritual Charm] [Spirit Language] [Levitate]

She even obtained the blessing of a Demi-Goddes, which was rather amazing for her. This just showed Adelle's amazing talent.

The new blessing granted her with an ability named [Natural Weakness Negation], this ability completely took off the natural weakness of the merfolk to lighting and to dry their bodies.

After checking her stats, I decided to spar with her for some hours to see how far she has grown.

Her new power is incredible and her new fighting style was dazzling and swift, using her new magic to enhance her strokes with Holy Magic alongside her amazing speed in combination with [Levitate], she was able to move around without any worry about her water bubble popping out, as she didn't need any, to begin with.

However, she still needs more training to catch up with someone like Gaby or Palami. So, for now, we resumed our training. I summoned three thousand Undead this time, increasing the difficulty. I also added [Beast] type Undead that resembled giant chimeras.

The training was as chaotic as ever, but everyone managed to pull through, some having an easier time than others.

[You gained 789500 EXP] [The rest of your servants gained tons of EXP]

[LEVEL 66/70 EXP 1070537/1247000]

[Your servants gained tons of levels!]

After having dinner with my family, I decided to spend some time crafting.

I crafted two accessories that I wanted to use to add their effects on another accessory. These were a [Light Negating Holy Armored Gloves] which came with the skills [High Light Resistance] and [Holy Light Magic Protection], the second accessory was [Ever Adapting Slime Necklace], which came with the skills [Body Adaptability] and [Partial Slime Control].

These skills will be very useful on Zehe's equipment, as she is weak to Light and Holy damage due to being a Dark and Shadow Witch. It also comes with [Body Adaptability] for her future evolutions. I will have to add this skill on every piece of equipment.

And like this, I spent most of the night crafting and crafting, endlessly. In the end, I had more than ten small accessories that were easy to make, so I could stockpile on skills to add to them. A thing to note is that equipment skills can stack alongside normal skills, so, for example, having the same [High Light Resistance] will just give an even larger Resistance, doubling its effect.

Eating this equipment wouldn't be as good, as they won't get these abilities if they already have them, or the effects will be heavily nerfed most of the time unless they're very simple skills.

Although I did eat a [Body Adaptability] accessory but didn't get the skill at all, and because it took so many valuable resources to make, I decided to not eat any of my crafted equipment from now on…

It seems that as I get stronger, it gets harder to obtain skills. Even for accessories and armor this weird rule also applies. I may need to eat five more [Body Adaptability] accessories to get the damned skill at this point. And if it is like this for me, it must be even worse for my wives, probably needing over 20!

Afterward, I slowly moved to my room and fell asleep on my bed, in the middle between Brontes and Rimuru.
