Episode 248: Conquering The Barony (4)

“Kraa!”

Energy was boiling over from within!

“Kyaaaaah!”

The transcendent Kim Kyuse roared. I turned four angels into demons in just one night. Such a terrifying ability. Naturally, an incubus who achieved such a feat would become stronger.

“Kahahahaha!”

I was now experiencing a considerable growth in magical power. Indeed, angels were like a treasure trove of experience. Was it because I was a demon? Training angels, our enemy species, seemed to be the most efficient.

Good.

I had grown. My magical power was fully charged. I should share this joy with my beloved subordinates right away. Lilriel must be thrilled, having quickly become a squad leader.

Since we’d be operating in the human world from now on, I needed to quickly enhance my subordinates’ combat power.

“Guys!”

When I stepped into the hallway, I saw two goblins stumbling around.

“Hey, you Goblins!”

I called out to them immediately.

“Kerr? Kerruk! Master! Loyalty!”

“Loyalty, Kerruk!”

The goblins saluted me right away. Very disciplined.

“Yeah, loyalty! Hurry up and go tell Buril! Gather everyone in the training ground! The magic infusion ceremony starts now!”

“Kerruuu! Understood!”

Hearing the word ‘magic infusion ceremony,’ the goblins ran off excitedly towards the barracks. None of my subordinates dislike magic infusion. For monsters, receiving magical power is sheer bliss.

Magic high, magic high.

So, I went out to the training ground and stood on the parade platform.

—Step, step, step!

—Pop, pop, pop!

My subordinates, who were playing inside the dungeon, began rushing over all at once. It was like the scene of soldiers hearing that sweet and sour chicken would be served for lunch.

“Kerruuu!”

“Grrr!”

“Gyusam!”

Such noisy fellows. Soon, Buril appeared with the likes of Imsoong, and upon seeing me, shouted.

“Kerruk! M-Master! Your horns have grown bigger!”

“Hehehe, does it look that way? Anyway, line up! I’ll start the magic infusion now!”

“Kerrurururung!”

I looked at my subordinates who stood in line in front of me. All of them were looking at me with eyes shining brightly.

My horns had definitely grown. And the aura I exuded was much stronger than before. My subordinates only felt one thing upon witnessing my growth:

Awe towards me.

“Buril! Step forward!”

“Kerruk!”

“As the highest senior, you shall receive the infusion first!”

“Of course, Master! Kerrurururung!”

Buril hopped towards me joyfully like a frog. He looked like a cute younger brother. Although he’s a ruthless warrior and seasoned soldier, in front of me, he’s just a playful junior.

—Shrook!

“I’m here, Master! Please bestow upon me the great magic power!”

“Then… kneel on one knee!”

“Kerruk!”

Buril knelt on one knee like a noble knight. I also slightly lowered my stance, placing a hand on Buril’s shoulder.

—Oooom.

I could feel the magic within me. It was incomparable to when I first arrived here. The amount of magic was also vast.

I released some of that magic through my fingertips.

“Kerrung?!”

It seeped into Buril’s shoulder.

“Kerrung, Kerrurururung?! Master! The feeling, the feeling…!”

“What about the feeling!”

“The feeling is overwhelming!!!”

“Speak clearly!”

At that moment!

—Pop!

Buril stood up suddenly.

“Kerruk, Kerruuu!”

He roared like a super saiyan! And I could feel it! My magic seeping into Buril’s body!

“Kerruuu! Buril! Buril is acting strange!”

“Grrr! What’s happening!”

“Gyusam! Master! What’s going on!”

My panicked subordinates clamored.

“Ah.”

I realized.

“Kerrururururung!”

This was…

“Master…!”

An awakening.

—Crunch.

—Crunch, crunch!

Red light burst from Buril’s eyes. Simultaneously, red horns began sprouting from just above the corner of his eyes. Horns. Horns! Buril had finally grown horns!

“Kerruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Buril, who grew horns, roared! He also grew slightly in height and size!

“Buril! You’ve grown!”

“Kerruk! Kerruuu! Master! I feel infinite power overflowing inside me! Kerruk, kerruk, kerruk!”

“Kahahahaha! I knew it! My Four Heavenly Kings, Buril!”

“Master! Please! Let me release this feeling!”

“Then, take my hand!”

—Swoosh!

I reached out both hands toward Buril.

—Swoosh!

Buril also grabbed my hands.

“Hahahahaha!”

—Spin, spin!

And spin!

We spun!

“Masterrrr! I am so happy!!!!”

“Kahahahaha! Me too!”

Joy bursts forth. Yes, Buril, the first subordinate I met here, has finally become a demon. He now had horns on his head, and the energy he emitted carries a blatant demonic aura.

Buril was now a demon goblin. Or what should we call his new species? Evil Goblin? Dark Goblin? Shadow Goblin? It didn’t matter. Buril was Buril.

“Kerrurururung!”

Tears of joy streamed from Buril’s red glowing eyes. Such an adorable sight. After spinning for a while, I let go of Buril.

“Master… Thank you! You are truly the greatest and most powerful being!”

“Buril, this was all possible because I met you!”

“Kerruk…!”

As we shared this touching moment,

“Grrr! Masterrr!”

“Gyusam!”

The other subordinates shouted, frantically calling out to me. They had just witnessed Buril’s awakening. They all wanted to achieve the same.

“Quiet! Look! Buril has become so strong after receiving my power! I promise, you can all become like him! Line up! I’ll infuse you all one by one!”

“Grrr! Master! I’m so happy!!!”

“Imsoong, hurry up and get in line!”

“Kerruk!”

Today, I would infuse my subordinates with power!

I infused my beloved subordinates with magic until all my power was drained.

“Kerruuu! I can feel the power, Kerruuu!”

“Grrr! Big horns! Big horns!!!”

“I’ve awakened! Gyusam!”

I could see overwhelming results.

“Hehehe…! These guys!”

The senior line. Approximately half of each unit had become demons! Although their horns weren’t as big as Buril’s, small red protrusions had grown on their heads, and they could feel the magic within them!

Most of my subordinates, who had been with me through thick and thin, have become demons!

“Gyusam! Master! I feel power overflowing in my body!”

“Grrr! My body has grown bigger too!”

Seeing them purely enjoying and dancing made my heart warm. Although I’m exhausted from using all my magic, I feel extreme gratification.

“Sniff! Yes! You’ve all worked hard with me! Can you feel the power within you?”

“Kerruk! I can feel it! Master!”

“That power will only grow stronger from now on!”

—Grrr!

—Gyusam!

My subordinates roared!

“Ke, Kerruk…! I’m disappointed!”

“Gyusam. I am disappointed!”

“Grrr!”

However, the junior line had not yet awakened as demons. The difference in the total amount of magic they received from me was the reason. I gently spoke to those subordinates.

“There’s no need to be disappointed. It’s just a matter of time. You saw it, right? The seniors all awakened? You can all awaken soon too, so keep training diligently until then.”

“Kerruk!”

The junior line became motivated.

Now, I should bring in new subordinates again. The farm was running well. When these new recruits saw their seniors awakening, their discipline and willpower would surely explode.

“So, since you’ve all awakened as demons, you need time to understand your bodies! Today and tomorrow are holidays! Rest well! And we’ll have a celebration party tomorrow night!”

“Understood! Master!”

“Rest well and learn about your bodies!”

“Grrr!”

Now that they had become demons, they could handle ‘magic.’ That’s what being a demon was. Even imps could originally use fireballs, so goblins should be no different.

Of course, except for Buril, they were still weak demons, so it would take time.

“Even so.”

If my soldiers can use magic to enhance their weapons with auras?

“The invincible formation is complete.”

Who could defeat the invincible demon king’s army with magic-enhanced weapons? Our growth limit had skyrocketed with my subordinates becoming demons!

We could become even stronger!

World domination was not just a dream!

—Shing.

I drew my sword.

—Flare.

And enveloped the blade with a magic aura. Handling magic itself was very familiar to me, so this was simple.

“Good.”

From now on, I could have Vanessa or Lea teach the subordinates these combat magic techniques.

“Shasha! Master! Everyone’s so excited! They all grew horns!”

“Yes! Sharan! Our friends have all become stronger!”

Sharan also excitedly checked the ones who grew horns and rejoiced.

This was the taste of growth.
