Druid Oz and his familiars continue to hunt for the demons’ pillage groups for about two hours. They have wiped out seven pillage groups, and now, they’re in the progress of wiping out the eight pillage groups at a certain city near the Griftania empire.
It’s a group bigger than before, with 300 demons inside it, and 10 high-ranked demons commanding them. With the same tactic, Druid Oz uses his summoned insects to summon his flower warp, and warp him and his familiars behind the high-ranked demons to caught them off guard.
And just like before, they succeeded in assassinating the high-ranked demons. But unlike before, currently, Druid Oz is using his mountain gorilla form.
Druid Oz unleashes the limiter and transformed into a 15 meters tall gorilla, and slaughters the demons with his powerful arms.
(I guess turning into a mountain gorilla is great as well!) (Druid Oz)
But because of Druid Oz, their surroundings got even more battered. There are lots of buildings destroyed, and the streets got into a more miserable state than before.
“I-I guess I should not transform into the mountain gorilla form at a city…” (Druid Oz)
Druid Oz had finished his portion, while his other familiars are on the verge of finishing their part.
But this time, an unusual thing occurred when Druid Oz’s familiars finished killing the last remaining demons. The flame fox and the frost lion that killed the most at the battles are currently surrounded in a dense amount of mana, making their body glows in red and blue light.
(T-Their rank is ascending!!!) (Druid Oz)
“I’ve been waiting for this!” Druid Oz shouts in excitement.
The mana surrounding his two familiars got even denser, and red particles covered the flame fox while blue particles covered the frost lion, making a sphere that enveloped both of them.
Slowly, the sphere gets bigger.
And after a while, the sphere dissipates into the air, leaving the two familiars with a bigger and stronger body.
“The [King] ascension…” (Druid Oz)
The [King] ascension is a phenomenon where a demihuman or a magical beast ascends to the [King] rank. For a demihuman, they will only experience a small change in their physique and a huge boost in their power together with some additional skills and abilities.
But for a magical beast, they usually experience a change in their body. Their size gets bigger and some new characteristics appeared.
The frost lion that was just 2 meters tall before is now 5 meters tall and 8 meters long, its white mane got even thicker than before, giving off a majestic aura from it. Its gaze is sharp, and the air got frozen just because of its breath.
The flame fox that was just 1 meter tall before is now 4 meters tall and 7 meters long. The most eye-catching change it experiences is its tail that was just 5 is now 7 in number. The number of a flame fox’s tails indicates their strength and their rank, which means that the flame fox has really ascended to the [King] rank. The beautiful red body of it got several black tattoos on it that seem to be some kind of magic mark, Druid Oz could sense a dense amount of fire element gathered on them.
(Hm… Now that they’ve ascended to the [King] rank, I wonder if they could now talk just like the other magic beast [King]s at Tarot…) (Druid Oz)
“Master. Ah! I’m talking!” A deep voice similar to Reo’s voice appeared from the frost lion.
“Y-You could talk!” (Druid Oz)
“I-I could!” Exclaimed the frost lion as his eyes indicate his surprise as well.
“Ah. I could speak too,” The voice that comes out from the flame fox is a voice of a mature lady.
“I see… So entering the [King] rank enables you to speak, huh…” Druid Oz muttered to himself as he holds his chin.
Druid Oz narrows his eyes as he observes the both of them.
“Try talking again,” (Druid Oz)
“Talk, talk,” (Frost lion)
“Talk, talk,” (Flame fox)
(Why talk, talk…?) (Druid Oz)
“I see…” (Druid Oz)
When the both of them speaks, there is a sign of mana coming out from their mouth.
(So there is a kind of magic circle in their tongue or somewhere inside their mouth that enables them to speak, I guess?) (Druid Oz)
“Hm~ My voice is sure great to hear~” The flame fox seems to enjoy her own voice.
“Isn’t my voice kind of scary…?” The frost lion seems to not be that happy with his voice.
“It’s fine, your voice is not that scary, um… I guess I need to give the both of you names, huh…?” Druid Oz mutters as he’s puzzled what he should call them.
“Names! We’ve been waiting for this for so long!” (Flame Fox)
“Indeed… The master never gives any of us names except for master Gor,” (Frost Lion)
Druid Oz knew that all of his familiars have considerably high intelligence. But it seems that he forgot to take into account that because of that, they might feel envious because he gave Gor a name.
(T-Turns out it bothered them… But if I give all of them a name, it will be hard even for me to remember it… In the first place, making up a name is difficult enough already…) (Druid Oz)
“Well, forgive me for that. I’m going to give your names now so isn’t it fine?” (Druid Oz)
“Yes! Please give me my name, master!” The flame fox happily circles around Druid Oz as she asked for her name.
“Hm… For you, It’s… Flamia!” (Druid Oz)
“Flamia…” (Flamia)
(What… Did she dislike that name…?) (Druid Oz)
“I like it! Flamia! Flamia!” The flame fox jumped as she seems to be very excited about her new name.
“How about mine, master?” Asked the frost lion as he approached Druid Oz.
Unlike the flame fox, he approached Druid Oz in an elegant manner. The way he slowly walks when he approached Druid Oz felt majestic, befitting the title of the lion [King].
(As expected of a lion, the king of the forest, I guess?) (Druid Oz)
“For you… Your name, will be Frostion,” (Druid Oz)
“Frostion…”
(Crap… Now that I think about it again, that name is way too uncreative….) (Druid Oz)
“What a good name indeed… Frostion… The king of frost… Magnificent…” The frost lion muttered his name proudly as he seems to be very satisfied with it.
(Oh, he likes it. Then it’s all good, I guess?) (Druid Oz)
As Druid Oz wondered whether should he think for the other magical beasts their names as well or not, a great idea struck his head.
“And the both of you! Since the both of you have become a [King], hereby, I grant you the permissions to give your kin their names by yourself!!” (Druid Oz)
(So basically, I left it all to them to make up the names for their brethren! A great idea isn’t it!?) (Druid Oz)
“I see… So it’s my first task as a [King]… I humbly accept your order, master,” (Frostion)
“Hm… I should think of beautiful names, I guess…” (Flamia)
“Well, now is not the time to think about their names yet. We still have the demonic base to scout” (Druid Oz)
After giving both of them names, Druid Oz let them test their new strength and skills since they might get some new useful abilities and skills that might assist their scout towards the demonic base.
*Boom!!!*
*Boom!!!*
The raw strength of the two of them increased for about five folds from before just by entering the [King] rank. A single strike with their claws releases enough force to blow out several trees.
But their increase in strength is still within Druid Oz’s expectation. Since Druid Oz had gauged the strength of the Tarot empire’s magical beast kings, he knows that each of them has powerful strength individually.
Rather than their raw strength, Druid Oz is more interested in what kind of new abilities they obtained.
“Hm… Now, this might be useful for our scouting…” Muttered Druid Oz as he stared at the scene before him.
Frostion the frost lion and Flamia the flame fox got several new skills. Most of the new skills that they could use as their new aces are mostly forbidden magic. But there is a skill that Frostion obtained that might be a perfect skill for the scouting.
“So this is the ice golems made by my spell: [Ice Golem], huh!” (Frostion)
Dozens of four meters tall ice golems stand in front of Druid Oz.
(Hm~ This turns out to be more fruitful than I expect it would be…) (Druid Oz)
