Chapter 61: Assimilations and Spar with Sophia

The 2 skills I chose to assimilate were [Wind Control] and [Water Control] since they are out powered by basically every other skill that I have.

[Assimilation has created Weather Manipulation: Wind and Rain]

This will prove to be useful later on, but I'm not done yet with my assimilations. There are 2 more things I want to try out. First is assimilating more than 3 skills and then try assimilating my other tabs in my status. When I used the skill it opened my entire status instead of just my skills so this might mean I can assimilate my body modifications.

Activating [Assimilation] again, my status appears in front of me and I selected [Scratch], [Swipe], and [Feral Claws].

[Assimilation has created Mystic Arm]

I repeated this process many more times with skills I thought could be stronger after assimilation.

[Strong Libido] + [Contortion] + [Seduction] = [The Art of Sex: 3]

[Demonic Berserker] + [Berserk] + [Army Control] + [Boost] = [Blood Craving Army Enhancement]

[Fires Will] + [Liquid Fire Secretion] + [Magma Secretion] + [Magma Control] = [Lavas Will]

[Commanders Presence] + [Guardians Presence] + [Phoenixes Dominating Presence] = [Commanding Guardian Phoenixes Presence]

[Enhanced Senses] + [Enhanced Regeneration] + [Body Enhancement] + [Horse Beetles Extreme Senses] + [Kingfishers Flexible Wings] = [Heightened 5 Senses and More]

Nodding my head in satisfaction I decided to test out the skills later after the venom bowl.

Arriving back at the throne room, I saw that all of the kids finished eating. Of course they just looked less famished and pale, but they still have those cold eyes which is exactly what I want from them.

"Bring them to some rooms and make sure they can rest," I ordered.

"As you wish," said the maids.

Seeing the kids leave the maids tried to grab their hand so they wouldn't get lost, but they just moved to the side avoiding them. Some of the maids stopped understanding the kids, but some of them continued to do it which made the kids uncomfortable.

One of the amazonians used [Shadow Control] and manipulated the shadows in the hallway. She made a blade that aimed straight for the maids neck causing her to flinch.

Her attempt didn't work though, since I had my maids trained for different combat situations. She easily parried the attack and picked her up in a princess carry in order to not frighten her, all while having a pure smile.

The reason my maids are so perfectly trained is because after I and Kumo left for the [Canyon of Volcanoes], I told the leaders to teach their underlings which Aika executed perfectly. Most of the maids actually had way more talent than Aika allowing them to progress quickly.

The ones who didn't have much talent trained super hard allowing them to catch up quickly with the ones who had an insane amount of talent. Even though the maids trained super hard, they never lost their perfect slim and soft body.

On the other hand, I heard from some of the maids that Aika slacked off a bit because she didn't want to gain muscles.

However, this was not possible because Akio told me that elves can only gain muscle from evolutions but it never happens for female elves. The reason why training works for them is because elves have a special attribute that allows them to ingrain different techniques quickly into their already existing muscles.

With this muscle memory they are able to perform moves that are at the level of people who trained for years and developed the perfect body for what they do.

I'm pretty sure I heard Akio talking with Akito about this, which is probably how they discovered this special part about elves. Not only are they strong but also pretty smart, even though Akito has much better looks.

The girl amazonian flailed her arms and legs trying to get out of the princess carry but the maid dodged her attacks bowing before leaving the throne room.

"We'll start the venom bowl tomorrow since it's getting late," I say while looking at the windows that were being placed in the throne room.

"Hey Sophia, want to spar with me?" I ask, seeing Sophia cleaning up the table.

"If that is what you want," Sophia said.

"Alright, change out of that dress and into some suitable clothes before coming to the training room,"

"As you wish," Sophia says.

I didn't notice until now, but the maids aren't even wearing maid uniforms. They are just wearing white dresses that go down to their knees. I should probably ask Aimi to make some maid dresses later since I think it will fit them.

Walking to the training room, Homura and Kumo decided to follow me since they had nothing else to do right now. As we arrived in the training room I changed into one of the baggy black training pants while removing my bra.

I grabbed some bandages from the table in the corner which seemed to be made of rubber cotton. They were sturdy and stretchy which gave me a pretty good idea.

I asked Kumo to help me put on some bandages around my breasts since we don't have any proper sports bras, also, I don't think we will need them anytime soon.

Just as Kumo helped me finish wrapping the bandages around my breasts Sophia entered the training room with a basic brown long sleeve shirt with matching brown pants. She seemed very excited to spar me which I've known she's always wanted to prove herself ever since I made Lucy the head maid in my castle.

"Master, are we allowed to use weapons?" Sophia asks.

"I don't mind," I say while I grab a specially prepared weighted scythe on the weapon rack.

Sophia grabs a bow from the weapon rack which surprised me since I thought she would be a melee fighter. Though she picked up a bow she didn't grab an arrow which I decided to ignore for now. She might have something to replace the arrow so I had to stay on my guard.

We both got into our fighting stances and Kumo decided to start the match. As she said go, Sophia closed her eyes as I heard her mutter,

"[Forest Magic],"

The plants that were occasionally thrown around the outside of the ring started to grow and reach out towards Sophia. I would've normally stopped somebody from doing an attack but I decided to let her do her thing since I was interested in this... [Forest Magic].

The plants that reached out towards her, gathered at her palm that didn't hold the bow creating a spear made from a variety of plants. The spear thinned out as I felt a decent mana signature coming from it which slightly surprised me.

"It's compressing itself," I muttered.

…

How are plants a weapon…? Maybe it's something special to her race since back on earth, Amazonians were usually connected to plants.

After checking her status and seeing the huge arrow made of different types of plants, I readied myself to block it or maybe dodge it. As soon as I got ready, Sophia released the arrow sending it flying towards me.

The arrow was fast and powerful but with my new stats, it barely qualifies as a normal arrow.

Clicking my tongue in disappointment I relaxed my entire body as I had a bored expression on my face. Sophia's face sunk in disappointment as I smacked the arrow made of plants out of my way. All of the plants that intertwined with each other, dispersed in the air and dropped to the ground.

"Is that it?" I ask.

"U-uh," Sophia stuttered, slowly moving back.

Panicking, she tried to redeem herself by manipulating plants to lash out at me. Some formed into spears and whips that struck at me but I dodged casually. Though these plants were strong they were much slower than any attack made with [Shadow Magic].

Sophia dropped her bow to the ground as she wrapped plants around her wrists and flung them at me like whips. They made a snapping sound as they went right past me. I gave her time to adjust since it seemed like she hadn't practiced it before which let her become slightly proficient with it.

As I dodged and dodged I realized the whips made of plants got faster and more powerful. Whenever they struck past me and lashed the ground it left scorch marks and occasionally a crack in the ground.

Sophia activated [Intense Focus] as well, which let her attacks become more precise. As she continued to barely miss me she suddenly had a surprised face after snapping out of [Intense Focus].

…

"WHAT THE FUCK!" I yell out accidentally.

Retreating back to my thoughts I couldn't help but internally scream at her new mastered weapon.

I thought you could only master one weapon! How did she manage to not only master a plant as a weapon but also become proficient in whips!

Out of anger, I accidentally let out [Ancient Fire Magic: Amaterasu] which devoured her plants and quickly burned towards her arm. Snapping out of my anger, I snap my fingers right before the fire wrapped around her.

As she quickly untied the plants from her wrists they dropped down and dissipated into thin air.
