Epic of Caterpillar

239 Forsaken Labyrinth Conquest 32/69; Taking a Break & Amiphossia\'s Abilities

When I transformed her into a Dhampir, she seemed to have become even more of a fanatic and was now constantly recruiting more and more people into the church. And because most of my citizens already worship me as someone incredibly generous and magnanimous, it wasn\'t hard for them to believe that I was already some kind of divine existence. Due to this, they have been praying to me for several months from now.

I always felt this small energy coming to my body from time to time, but I always thought that it was something related to my Aura, as it has the properties of Spirits and can draw energy from the environment. However, this wasn\'t the entirety of the case, as I devote that pray to me have been slowly giving me Divine Energy through their beliefs and prays.

This energy was in very low quantity and quality, so it didn\'t affect my body negatively like pure Divine Energy that I forcefully tried to eat before. And instead its slowly refining my body, while increasing my capabilities, albeit very slowly, barely noticeable to the point that I thought it was the result of another of my Skills. I don\'t think that I am capable yet to harness this energy and store it into space where I can use it, and even less manipulate it into my Skills or Spells to create even stronger ones. Probably I need to obtain [Divinity] to be able to manipulate Divine Energy, simple as that.

Last night I spent it almost entirely with Nefertiti. After she got to know that I could somehow impregnate Spirits, her hidden maternal instincts kicked in, and her desire to have a child almost blinded her judgment. Because Nefertiti is a Spirit that resembles a Desert Dog Beasfolk and obviously has its instincts, she was incredibly energetic and influenced by her energy and endless Stamina, it could be said that we mated like dogs…

Using [Male Human Physique], I managed to create my seed and made sure to impregnate her several times. But even after being filled, Nefertiti really wanted to make sure that she received my seed, so we continued until my transformation ended. Afterward, she was quite exhausted even as Spirit, but I decided to do keep going with her to my heart\'s content. And because she was now my new concubine/slave, she couldn\'t simply resist.

After everyone woke up, we took a relaxing bath in the massive baths of the Golden Palace. I had to praise Nefertiti for her skills in building such a beautiful bath. There was also plenty of different types of aromatic soaps that I\'ve never tried before, the entire bath was warm and filled with wonderful scents. My children played around as I and my wives washed each other. Nefertiti seemed to had already taken a bath herself so she was with her concubine group commanding them to make a delicious breakfast.

Nefertiti\'s personality this morning had changed a little bit, as she had a more "maternal" look to her. I don\'t know how to describe it better, but her nature had changed to that of my wives when they are pregnant and about to give birth. Although most of my wives are indeed pregnant right now, the babies haven\'t developed as much yet. Nefertiti wasn\'t the exception, but still, she took into this strange nature.

She confirmed her pregnancy as well, which made her even happier. The fear, horror, or desperation of yesterday was completely erased and now her heart was filled with happiness and expectations to the future. I suppose Spirits aren\'t really an exception to Demi-Humans, they change their nature very quick, forgiving most things you did to them…

Nefertiti didn\'t like to keep her pregnancy as a secret as she openly talked about it with my wives, and due to this, they were surprised and quickly assimilated her into their group, it was scary how fast they accepted her but they began to talk about babies a lot too, with the experience of those that had already given birth like Nesiphae, Zehe, Gaby, Brontes, and Rimuru.

As they talked about children, Vudia, Ailine, and Aarae came towards me, they seemed to want attention and affection, so I hugged them and ate alongside them. These three are the most childish of my children, after them would come to Amiphossia who likes to be pampered from time to time, then Valentia and Ryo. Ryo being the most distant and also being very "mature", I don\'t know if I should feel happy or sad about this, as being mature is a good thing, but being too distant from my love makes me sad.

Nonetheless, little Vudia wouldn\'t let me have sad thoughts as she asked me to feed her the delicious fruit jelly that was served to us on the breakfast.

"Mama, I want that red-colored jelly…!"

"Oh? This one? With the red berries?"

"Hm! That one… Feed me!"

"Feed you? Isn\'t this little princess being too spoiled now? I\'m sure that little Vudia can eat by herself perfectly!"

Vudia made a slight pout as her cheeks became pinkish.

"B-But I want to be feed by mama…!"

"Sigh… Such a spoiled child! Alright, my little princess… Say "aah"

"Aaah!"

I took a smalls spoon which I filled with the jelly and slowly made it enter Vudia\'s, the delicious sweet flavor filled her mouth as Vudia\'s golden eye shined brightly. In three seconds she had already tasted the jelly and swallowed it.

"Hmm! Delicioush! More!"

Ailine, who was at Vudia side was looking at me, as I happily feed Vudia. Ailine pouted as well as she grabbed my arm asking me to feed her as well.

"A-Ailine want that too…! Mama, please… I want the blue jelly"

"Another little princess wants to be feed? What is this? Did all the little princesses wake up very needy today? Fufufu"

Vudia looked at Ailine with a smug, but that smug quickly dissipated as I began to feed Ailine her beloved blue jelly, which was made out of blueberries. Ailine ate more energetically than Vudia and would eat the jelly in less than a second. While Vudia liked to taste the flavors more.

"Hmm~ Delicious! I love it when mama feeds me! Hehehe…"

"Oh? What a spoiled little princess~"

Vudia also asked to feed her red jelly, thankfully I had my split minds to multitask this, I never thought that I would use them in such a situation… However, Aarae, who was sitting in a chair in the middle of my legs, as Vudia and Ailine were sitting in each of my legs, looked at me with his beautiful aquamarine eyes, obviously wanting the same treatment!

Aaah~ How could I resist my beautiful little Aarae?

"Mother… I-I…"

"Hm? Oh! Does my little prince want to be feed as well? Don\'t worry, mommy has time for all of her children~ Which food do you want, Aarae~?"

Aarae\'s aquamarine eyes shined in azure light, as she pointed with his small and delicate hands to the pastry he desired, it was a pie made with a delicious buttery crust and filled with blue and red berry sauce.

"Oh? A pie, it sure looks delicious~ Very well"

I shapeshifted my body, from the area of my belly, as a semi-transparent red Slime tentacle appeared, slowly but skillfully grabbing the pie plate with a small fork. Then, the tentacle released small tentacles resembling fingers as it cut a piece of the pie and gently feed it to Aarae.

Aarae opened his pinkish and soft lips as he received the pie and ate it slowly. I only glanced at him with a gentle smile as he smiled at me back, swallowing the pie.

"Hm~ Its delicious, thanks, mother…"

"Everything for my little prince~"

Vudia and Ailine saw how Aarae was getting attention now as they started to ask to be feed as well, as I looked at each one with a smile, I couldn\'t just tell them to be less spoiled, as I loved to spoil them! I seriously need help! I can\'t stop spoiling my children!

"Mommy, Ailine want to be feed as well, look at me!"

"V-Vudia as well, I won\'t lose to Ailine or Aarae!"

It seems that there is another hidden rivalry between these three children for my attention. However, Aarae didn\'t seem to want to join in the rivalry, as he was slightly more mature than the two girls.

"A-Ah… T-There is no need to fight for mother\'s attention, Vudia, Ailine… I don\'t want to get in both of your way…"

"Don\'t lie, Aarae, you also like mommy\'s attention! Hehe~"

"That\'s true, Ailine knows~! Fufu"

Both Ailine and Vudia approached Aarae while giving him smug looks that made him very embarrassed, making him blush intensively.

"Fweeeh… T-That\'s…!"

And like this, we continued for half an hour as I feed my three beautiful children~ Although I might have asked for help, I really didn\'t want this small moment to stop…

Afterward, my wives finally finished their chatting with Nefertiti about pregnancy and babies. Gaby grabbed Aarae as she wanted to teach him how to cook, Rimuru grabbed Ailine to teach her more spells and Brontes grabbed Vudia to teach her more blacksmithing. I then decided to give some more attention to Amiphossia, I wanted to study her Phantasmal Magic some more.

"Mommy? My Phantasmal Magic?"

"That\'s right, I\'ve only gotten certain Skills related to it, but never as complex as yours, Ami"

"Oooh! I see~ So mommy want to see my power? Alrighty!"

Amiphossia showed me a lot of her spells and conjures, Phantasmal Magic was a branch from her Spiritual Shamanism Magic, and in fact, it was nothing more than the surface. As Ami develops her Spiritual Shamanism Magic, more related magic branches will appear, teaching her the basics of these spells.

Amiphossia also had an amazing affinity with Ghost-type of monsters and her trusty mount, which was a Giant Phantasmal Wolf, always loved to be at her side, I could sense a lot of power form this beast and it seemed to be leveling very well alongside Amiphossia, so it might end up evolving soon. For a moment I thought about boosting its growth with an Item, as I give it a [Enhancement Radish], which the Wolf ate happily.

Afterward, Amiphossia showed me her ability to summon Phantasmal Beast that could protect her, this was her latest spell, and summoned strange "familiar" type of monsters. There were only two, a big semi-transparent and white-colored snake named Phantasmal Mist Basilisk and the other was a big three meters tall albino bat named Phantasmagoric Albino Bat. Alongside her mount, she had a total of three Phantasmal Beasts at her side if she was in a dire situation, although she hadn\'t been using her mount in big fights, she was planning to add him whenever he evolves.

Amiphossia also showcased other spells like White Phantasmal Flames that could burn Souls, which she usually used on her swords, a white Phantasmagoric Mist that she could manipulate at will, whenever a being entered on the Mist\'s range, it would become confused and even be enraged or go crazy for some time. If she infused her other types of magic like Heavenly Medicine Magic, the mist would become a Heavenly Phantom Mist, being able to heal anything it touches. She uses this Mist the most in Boss fights.

In another case, if she infuses her Corrosive Poison Magic, she will create a Venomous Phantom Mist, that can cause terrible status effects based on the venom. If she infused it with other elements it would become a Rainbow Spirit Mist, which she can use to stealthily infiltrate behind a foe guard and detonate to deal great magic damage.

Sadly, while I was learning more of Amiphossia\'s vast magic combinations, a disturbance outside of the City happened, a massive wave of different monsters, led by over fifty Mini-Bosses appeared, rushing towards the City. It seems that because I destroyed the forcefield, Dungeon wanted to finish destroy this annoying place for good. Because I wanted to spend a day or two here to relax, I was deeply annoyed by these monsters and decided to just massacre them all.

"Ah? Mommy, aren\'t these monsters?"

"Oh, it seems so. Don\'t worry, today is a day to relax, I will go take care of them, I\'ll be back in no time~"

"Oh? Well, if its mommy, she can do it easily…"
