[Day 156]

Today in the morning I found Brontes at my side smiling at me while Vudia was playing around over my chest. Our daughter has grown a tad bit more now and she had her golden eye finally opened, she loved to explore around and see everywhere. She approached me as she looked me intensively.

"Ma… Mama!"

"Good morning Vudia"

She seems to be able to talk now on her third day of being born… Well, that was very fast. However, she still cannot walk and Brontes has to carry her around for now. Her fairy wings are still underdeveloped so she can't try to fly either. Her powers though have been slowly manifesting themselves.

Whenever Vudia feels happy, small shocks of electricity are released from her body. Aside from this, she can also control various minerals around her like telekinesis. She is exceptionally adept with gold and she can mold it around to whatever she pleases.

When she woke me up, she had several small spheres made of gold floating around her, they are a little bit dangerous if she sends them somewhere, as they can be shot at incredible speeds due to her electric abilities, resembling the impact of a bullet.

I had to take those gold spheres around her and sealed her magic powers for now using a simple Anti-Magic seal. Vudia is still a baby and cannot comprehend our words that well, so it will be very hard for her to understand that her magic may be dangerous for the people surrounding her, unlike Ailine who had a very developed intelligence from the get-go.

As I let Vudia play around over my chest, I chatted for a bit with Brontes. She seemed to be concerned about her growth in strength and because she is a natural fighter, she wants to start training and fighting strong opponents once again.

As we chatted my other wives woke up and as they played with Vudia, I shared some of my plans about completing the nearby dungeons we have around, they were quite excited as they have grown to love exploring dungeons. And they grew even more excited as I told them that we would be aiming over completing the Forsaken Labyrinth and taking it for ourselves.

However, for now, I still want to lay back for a couple of days while I inspect the growth of my children, specially Vudia and Nephiana's eggs, which she will most likely lay tomorrow or past tomorrow. So, for now, we will only train with the massive army of summoned monsters that its outside, waiting for us to get all their juicy EXP.

I also want to train some of my wives and awaken their strengths. Specially Ismena and Acelina, as they have a strong hidden potential that needs to be polished. I also want to boost everyone strength with the new Relics and also craft some equipment, aside from this, I also want to train my own abilities for a bit and fuse a few of them, and probably upgrade all my equipment, forging it all into a new set, hopefully of [Mythical] class.

There is also the issue with the Twin Centaur Girls, and their Kingdom, which I want to explore as well. But because they still haven't evolved, it can be left for later. I have trained for some months with them and both seem like high wife material, but I want them to demonstrate to me their determination to become stronger by evolving.

Aside from exploring the Forsaken Labyrinth, I am planning in completing the Evergreen Town Dungeon and the Wyvern Overlord Dungeon. And probably go in a wild hunt around the "Desolate Area" around the fallen Ollathir Kingdom, Redgaria said that there are some very deep dungeons there that even he was not able to conquer.

As I shared my thoughts and my wives agreed, we quickly went to have a family breakfast in the Royal Dining rooms, my children joined as well and there were some of my closest servants eating with their families and friends, like Wagyu, Kekensha, Truhan, Celica, Palami, etc.

The Wyvern Overlord and Truhan have given me the Legendary Relics they obtained from defeating the Champions of Earth-Shattering Arms and Emerald Trees, so I have every relic possible now.

I decided to open all of them at once and decided which wife, children, and wife would be compatible with them. There were some expectant faces for the ones who still didn't possess a Legendary Relic like Mady and Lilith. Nanako and Ismena already have their own relics, although Ismena's one is weakened in a "lesser" state.

Instead of going one by one, I opened all the Relics in one go with the system function to [Open All], it was very convenient.

[Kireina] opened the following [Relic Reward Box] with the function [Open All]

Suddenly ten different weapons and equipment appeared inside of my Item Box as I quickly started to inspect their powers, abilities, and affinities.

The first weapon was a massive mace of over five meters tall, it seemed to be made of pure rock, but in fact, it was a [Divine Material] that had incredible durability and weight, being able to deal massive attacks. It also came with the blessing of the Demi-God of Strength Hercules. I gave this Hammer to Lilith, who was very happy to finally have a Legendary Relic. She seemed the most qualified to use it aside from Valentia, but Valentia does not have much proficiency with weapons and likes to fight by herself.

The Gemstone Spear was very peculiar and was made of a combination of several rainbow gemstones fused together, it was a beautiful spectacle to just see it shine in various colors. No one was really proficient with Gemstone Magic in here, so I decided to save the weapon for now. It could be nice for Ailine if she learns Gemstone Magic, but her physical abilities are very low compared to her magic.

The Sadistic Whip was made by a very elastic yet sturdy material, with sharp thorns that secreted a deadly poison. The ones compatible with such a weapon were Nesiphae and Amiphossia, but both weren't accustomed to using these types of weapons, Nesiphae likes heavy Axes while Amiphossia likes short swords that she can use with her magic. The Half-Poison Lord Girl came to mind but I haven't seen her in a while and it wouldn't make sense to gift her Legendary Relic if she is not close enough to me.

The Calming Spring Rapier was a beautiful and thin rapier made of a semi-transparent blue mineral, it was beautifully decorated with Water Dragon scales as ornaments and had a sharp end that resembled a needle. The candidates for the Rapier were very few, Gaby, Aarae, and perhaps Mady and Adelle, but because the two have long lost their affinity with water after evolving into different variants, I gave the rapier to Gaby, so she can dual-wield with her other Legendary Water Blade. Aarae seemed sad but I quickly pulled out another weapon that I have never used since I obtained it, the Staff that the Merfolk Old Ancestor used, and gifted it to him because of his high talent with magic. My son was very happy over his new weapon, and the staff quickly resonated with him, connecting to his soul.

The Twin Daggers seemed to be made of deep black-colored charcoal and decorated with very small purple gemstones. Its sharpness was superb and no matter how hard or fast you stabbed with it, it wouldn't produce any sound at all, even when impacting heavily against another object, completely nullifying the sound made. After thinking for a while, I saw potential in Alice, as she is a dhampir she can sneak around with ease and has a natural affinity with dark and shadow elements, aside from her lance, she can now use these daggers to sneak in the night and eliminate my foes without them even hearing anything. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ No(v)elFire.net

The Ring of Shadow Flames was a small black colored ring with a purple gemstone on its center, it was flawlessly made of a very powerful and highly magical Divine Material. It granted incredible bonuses to the wielders magic alongside a nice list of Black Flames spells for their use. I ended up gifting this ring to Zehe alongside the Pendant from the same Champion, which was also a Legendary Relic. Now Zehe has three Legendary Relics, but no one questioned my decision as she was my first wife after all, and preferential treatment was to be expected.

The Phantasmal Grimoire was a beautiful book covered in a gold-like Divine Material, its pages were filled with limitless knowledge about different types of spells alongside ways of talking, treachery, and deception. It was the perfect item for Mady, so I happily gave it to her, as it would come very useful in the future as she develops her merchant side and manages information and resources.

The Cold Winter Empress Long Sword was a majestic long sword with a clear azure-colored blade made of a very light weighted Divine Material, it was decorated with different ornaments resembling roses and gemstones. After thinking for a while, I found that Amiphossia would be the best candidate, as she was already using an Ice Long Sword obtained from the Evergreen Dungeon and has slowly adapted herself to ice attributes and magic. Instead of throwing away the older long sword, Amiphossia said that she will use both as a dual wielder.

The Axe of Heaven \u0026 Earth is another Phantasmal Weapon, its power is tremendous as the massive ax exudes a powerful and overwhelming aura. Its design is also incredibly beautiful, it seems to be made of two different materials. One half is made of a gray steel-like color and the other of a brown copper-like color. It is decorated with hundreds of small gems on its handle and there are coiling dragons as decorations as well, made of the same Divine Material. I instantly thought about three candidates for it, Nesiphae, Lilith, and Valentia.

However, Nesiphae already has her trusty Axe and Lilith just received her first Legendary Relic, giving her, another would be excessive, especially when she isn't one of my first three wives. I personally would love to give it to Valentia as it would make her even stronger, but she is too young and immature to handle a Phantasmal Weapon and it worries me. For now, I decided to save the weapon in my Item Box and decide who shall wield it in the future.

The last weapon is the beautiful Beloved Children of Nature Rapier, it is long and thin as a needle, and it seems to be made of an extremely dense green mineral which is a Divine Material. I glanced around my family and saw that no one had a very good affinity with Nature, only Rimuru and Ailine. I decided to save the weapon and use it for myself until I find a worthy wielder or become strong enough to be able to eat it, whatever comes first.

There were some sad and disappointed expressions around as they wanted a powerful weapon of their own to brag about in the Kingdom. I promised everyone that I will make a Legendary Weapon for each one.

After finishing our hearty breakfast, which with such a big family is always a massive feast, I called all my servants and soldiers to the remodeled training grounds as I wanted to test their new growth in strength after the recent war.
