Chapter 224 224 – A New Resident

I put Fergus' skull in a glass case, Ayre cast a spell, and a transparent barrier formed around that thing.

"Are you sure, my lord?" Emily asked as I took a few steps back. "I thought that you would destroy this thing."

"Are you scared, Emily?" Xenora replied.

The supreme undead looked at her shoulders, which were still without arms. No limbs fit her yet, so Lexi uses another method to gradually grow them. "Well, he can put up quite a fight. Of course, we have to be careful."

"But we won easily." Phisovia joins in. "So, I guess he's not as good as people say."

I glanced at Szur, who had just arrived and saluted me.

"Are you all right, Szur?" I asked the little creature. "I heard you fainted after planting the Nightmare Sequences on Fergus."

The mare chuckled. "This is a new method, my lord. So, Szur is just not used to it. But Szur guarantees Fergus's eternal nightmare is absolutely terrifying. There are so many things he's afraid of."

After Ayre finished setting up the magic barrier, I brought my face closer to the glass case containing that skull. "Are you sure he is one of the high creatures, Ayre?"

"Yeah, he could be sacrificed to a time travel ritual," Ayre replied. "I find this fascinating. A human can achieve things like this, on par with fairies, dragons, and other high beings."

"I hope there's no chance for me to use him." I narrowed my eyes.

No. I don't care to sacrifice Fergus. But I really don't want to do that ritual. There are too many risks of complications that will arise.

I turned around, walked away from the place, and contacted Karl with the communication book. "Today, we will have a meeting, Karl. It will be about the occupation of the Ashenburg lands and the formation of the navy."

"Sure, my lord. I will come to the meeting room." My advisor answered.

"Is this related to the cavern pond you made, my lord?" Xenora asked.

Emily cleared her throat. "I have a question, my lord….. Well, maybe this question is a bit strange. What is the gender of that marine general you will make?"

I'm laughing. I can already guess the supreme undead train of thought.

"What?" Physovia joined in the laughter. "Why do you ask like that, Emily?"

"We will see later." I shrugged.

After parting ways with the others, I walked towards the lake in the cave, finding Velvet already standing beside it. Her gaze was fixated on a small waterfall in one corner of that thing.

"Good afternoon, my love." I greeted her. "Sorry I haven't seen you today."

"It's okay, my lord." She smiled. "I'm here because I'm curious about the creature creation you told me about last night. You want to make a general of the water regiment, right?"

"Ah." I chuckled. "After conquering Ashenburg. I want to rule the underwater kingdom too. So, I need to build that regiment from now on."

"And I think this place is wonderful." She glanced around at the stone walls with abstract carvings glowing dimly red. "I think I will feel at home here…. Kyaaa!!!"

My wife flinched when I squeezed her tight ass. She hastily covered her mouth with a blushing face.

I'm laughing. She very rarely showed such an expression.

"You like this place, huh?" I embrace her waist. "Do you want to swim with me and have fun?"

"It's not that I don't want to." She turned her blushing face away. "But…."

"But?" I raised an eyebrow. She has never rejected me before.

"I'm on my period."

"Ah." I shrugged. "Too bad."

Even though the mood is good.

"Forgive me." She gulped as I took my hand off her. "I didn't mean to disappoint you."

"It can't be helped." I then opened the creation menu in my game UI. "You can see me do the creation, my love."

It took only a short time until I chose [Mermaid], according to my plan.

A figure with the body of half a fish appeared above the lake.

However, the shape of this creature is very different from the depiction in various media. Rather than being shaped like a human's, its upper part looked more like a scaly monster. Its head is also very hideous, with large sharp fangs, bulging black eyes, and two flipper-like ears.

"Mermaid? This is different from the books I've read." Velvet commented. "I read long ago that their body was like a human's, but their underparts were like a fish's. They could swim fast and could only stay on land for a short time."

After we defeated Durcia's army, I got a level-up. It was a big war, after all. So I get a lot of experience points. I picked up a skill that allowed me to create an army of races other than demons. There are no water demons in this world.

But it seems like the demon versions of those races will become hideous like this…. Wait.

I found a selection of human skin. But when I pressed on it, this creature became even more uncanny, looking more like an alien with a disgusting body.

Maybe I can change its face to suit its body better. I scrolled down the customization tab and found the options for hair and eyes.

An idea popped into my head, and I changed my future general's gender to female. And the breast slider appears on this screen.

It has been a long time since I have done the customization like this. So, I'm pretty excited. Like before, I can make a woman according to my dreams; of course, this will be different from the others.

I shifted the breasts slider, making the two mermaid assets grow bigger. I wanted something above average, maybe to the point of being almost ridiculous, even bigger than Phisovia's.

I want to have a variety of sizes that I can enjoy with my hands.

Feeling Velvet's breath on my cheek, I turned my head to the side, only to find that my wife's face was very close to mine.

Her eyes narrowed, and I laughed again.
