My blood minion was very nimble and fast, allowing it to arrive at the location of the humanoid footsteps almost instantly. Through the blood-red vision, I saw a gray, furry, humanoid figure. It walked on two legs and had leather armor with weapons made from what seemed to be iron.

Hoh… so these guys are werewolves. Even one of them is blessed by the wolf mountain guardian. Should I track them back to their camp and eliminate them or should I not underestimate them?
I would've disposed of the weaker guardians by now if I knew where they were but this might be a chance to find one of them.
Pondering for a bit I eventually concluded that I shouldn't get cocky or underestimate my opponent. So I gave the order for 3 of my blood minions to hide in either their fur or clothes.
The reason I chose this option was that I don't want to repeat the situation with the quote on quote "Fifth Guardian"... FIFTH GUARDIAN MY ASS! I don't even know when the stories that Kumo heard took place so I have to be cautious, no matter how much I want to charge in.
Returning to my eyesight, I muttered,
"Once I figure out their location, then will I send my army so they can level up and we can kill one of the guardians. That's assuming if the guardian comes out and tries to protect its… descendants... I'm assuming,"
The sun had already set so I decided to call it a day and go back home tomorrow.
Instead of activating [Commanding Guardian Phoenixes Presence], I kept [Camouflage] on just in case any other werewolves were near me. If they feel something dangerous they will either annoy me by trying to attack me or alert their friends and community about it.
[Day 29]
I woke up early so I could meet up with Yin for something. Even skipping breakfast, even though I'm extremely hungry.
As soon as I arrived back over my kingdom, I closed my eyes and felt the connection between Yin's collar and me. Wasting no time, I immediately flew in her direction where she was currently eliminating some rats that were in an alleyway.
Instead of waiting for her to finish them off, I just decided to kill them by landing in the center of the battle and using [Vampiric Blood Mist] in the opponent's direction. Every bandit in the vicinity shriveled up as their blood was being slowly drained from their body.
The last thing they saw was my glowing black and yellow eyes with an X and diamond in each eye. A blood-red mist was seeping out the sides of my mouth creating a figure enough to make some piss their pants before dying.
"M-master! W-what are you doing here? D-did Yin do a bad job…?" Yin stutters with a gloomy face while removing her oni mask.
The recruits were right behind her and removed their masks as well, with faces of awe at how quickly I took their opponents out. From what I noticed they weren't in a life-threatening situation but the bandits were scampering around in random directions, making them hard to slice with daggers.
"No… Yin was doing a good job but I just needed you guys for a special mission,"
I proceeded to explain to them that when I receive the signal from my blood minion that they will go and scout the area. It should be relatively easy since the guardian shouldn't come out because of mere assassins.
For now, I let them rest in their rooms while I gave Yin her reward. I knew instantly what she wanted as a reward, so she went to change into her clothes that I usually pet her in, while I took a bath with my wives who had just woken up.
"Why are you girls up so early?" I ask.
"I just had a feeling you were coming back," Aika says while I massaged her back.
"Aika *yawn* woke us all up," Kumo says sleepily.
Homura just nodded her head while sinking into the bath with only her head poking out.
"Here that should be enough. I want to assimilate some of the new skills I got while on my hunting trip," I say while sinking into the bath as well.
"Must be nice having an OP skill that lets you obtain skills through just eating. Also, how did you even gain the [Assimilation] skill," Kumo complains.
"You could probably assimilate your skills if you get Ava to make you a ring with the assimilation enchant on it,"
"Maybe I'll do that then. The only problem is, I don't have many skills to assimilate," Kumo replies.
I didn't respond as I used [Assimilation] on my new skills.
[Extend Tounge] + [The Art of Sex: 3] = [The Art of Sex: 4]
[Nose Dive] + [Flying Sense] + [Camouflage] = [Invisible Grand Flying Sense]
[Shadow Magic] + [Forest Magic] + [Domain of the Night (Locked)] = [Shadow Garden of the Infinite Night]
I thought it was useless to keep around the [Domain of the Night (Locked] since it was constantly locked and I had no way of unlocking it. The star who blessed me and gave me these skills might get mad at me but… I don't care that much.
"I'm about to use my body modifications so if you don't want to see me in pain, just turn away,," I say while rising out of the water.
"Not yet~ I've been holding back for 2 nights and I can't hold back any longer so you have to satisfy us right now babe," Aika says kneeling behind me while hugging me.
*sigh*
…
I was currently laying in front of a wind stone to cool my body off. It was nice to let out some steam and use the new feature of [The Art of Sex: 4] but it quickly got worse since it was getting too hot.
Not just what we were doing but our body temperatures were causing us to be slightly faint. Except for me who got the full brunt of the force and almost completely passed out.
As soon as I cooled off, my maids then helped put on a long black dress that went down to my ankles. I proceeded to then put on my jewelry and decide to do my body modifications later.
I walked with my wives to the throne room where we had a huge breakfast and I told them about the new monsters I encountered. They were shocked at how I got so close to the border of the [Mountain of Twilight] because no intelligent monster has ever dared to go near it.
They said that some humans are capable of killing us instantly with just one swing of their sword. Well, this was coming from the stories that Kumo heard so I don't know about the validation.
Once I filled my belly to the brim, I patted my mouth with something that was a napkin. It was made from poisonous silk which is why it was so soft.
I really am rich... using silk to clean my mouth… geez.
My wives all went to do their own thing while Yin entered the throne room with an excited grin. My maids cleaned up the table and removed it from the throne room, leaving me and Yin alone.
I sat on my throne while patting my lap which gestured for Yin to lay on my lap. Yin happily crawled onto my lap while I pet her head.
While I was giving Yin her reward I decided to check on the blood minions progress.
I was able to continue stroking Yin's hair while switching my eyesight with my blood minion.
I saw that my blood minions slipped into the leather armor that the werewolves wore.
From what I was seeing, the werewolves were currently fighting a red poison salamander which they had slight trouble with. Their skills with the sword were… acceptable but that was the only thing they were good at.
The [Moonlight Control] that one of the werewolves had was useless at this time of the day since the sun had just risen. And the sword skills that they had did very little damage despite their powerful names.
…
With a decent amount of injuries on their body, they finally killed the red poison salamander. After about 10 minutes.
Disappointed, I returned to my eyesight and muttered,
"Boring. This will be too easy,"
