Chapter 1509: There Was A Demon Lord In Your Backyard!

At the end, we had to explain to her everything that happened in detail because the elf woman was incapable of believing us no matter how much we told her. Even when Luminous himself told her. However, after half an hour, we finally got through her and she ended accepting it when we showed her the corpses I had saved inside my Inventory, which included most of the things we didn't ate.

She was terrified and intrigued, but quickly ended accepting it as a fact, she had indeed a Demon Lord inside of her own fiefdom. It was still a mystery how Pereza ended infiltering the place, but she made of this area her nest and absorbed the energy of the dungeon to grow stronger and bigger. If nobody would had dealt with her in time, she would had used the opportunity when everybody was busy in the war against the Human Empire to lay waste in town and kill/eat everybody else.

"I can't believe I had a damn Demon Lord in my backyard!" Cried Floresse. "W-What you've done is amazing, you surely deserve high praise, and perhaps even rewards! W-What do you want? I can give you anything in my position!" The pink-haired elf woman quickly tried to offer us some sort of reward to feel relieved with herself, most likely.

"T-There's no need to give us anything for the moment, Auntie. We are currently dead tired, I want to go take a warm bath and go to bed… We need to prepare for the war. Let's turn the page for now, we can adress the Demon Lord issue for later." Elfina said rather tiredly. I could notice in her eyes that she just wanted to sleep for the next several hours.

"A-Alright, you may go for now then." Said Floresse. "Please have a good rest. Ah, right, Kireina, please come with me!"

"Eh? Me?"

"Yeah, come!"

Floresse suddenly called me outside of the manor as I saw Elfina and Fiere walk upstairs, all while Luminous seemed to be staring at us from the distance sitting in the backyard. He seemed to like to sleep whenever he wanted, so he probably was okay with sleeping even in the damn backyard.

Floresse guided me to a large Barn. Which was filled with a lot of straws. When I looked around, I saw many monsters sleeping around. Why did she brought me here?

"I made you a big space over there where you can sleep comfortably!"

"Eh? Are you treating me like a pet or something?" I asked rather filled with indignation.

"Huh? Y-You don't like it? I heard that you slept in the forest the other day so I thought you were uncomfortable indoors." Said Floresse.

"No, your second floor is just way too tight so I can't get through it without ending up destroying the walls. But Elfina's parents castle was good, I even slept over a bed there." I sighed. "I am not an animal, I was a person before being summoned into this monster, so sorry, I cannot really accept your invitation, Floresse."

"S-Sorry for offending you, Kireina!" Floresse apologized, lowering her head a bit.

"Ah, no problem, don't sweat it. I can sleep anywhere just fine, I am just a ball of metallic spikes anyways, I am surprised you're not scared of my appearance and you talk to me so casually." I sighed.

"I've raised monsters since I was a child. I've grown with enormous bugs and spiders, and many other creatures. Usually when I see a new monster, I am often amazed by their beautiful charm!" Floresse said. "You're a unique creature I've never seen before, you emanate such a strong aura of darkness and purple stuff all around… And you're also the cocoon of a caterpillar, right? I find that super awesome! You even got giant bug legs and can walk, and got such sharp and incredible spikes that leak venom… You're such a unique monster! Hey, can I tame you?"

"Hahaha! You're flattering me too much- No! You can't tame me!" I cried. I knew she had slightly shady motives behind her hospitality! As a Tamer, I can understand that she must feel very attracted to my monstrous beauty and rarity, but I am already the Summon of Elfina, and I am not into becoming someone's else slave. My relationship with Elfina is purely for mutual benefit.

"Haha! I was just joking around. But where are you going to sleep then?" She wondered.

"I am just going to sit next to the big dragon, I guess he's lonely and needs some company. He went through a lot a bit ago." I said, rolling near Luminous.

"Very well then, I'll leave you two by yourselves, have a goodnight." Said Floresse, waving her hand and quickly getting back to her house.

I looked at my own Status for a bit, and then checked all three Ego Weapons, their Stats had increased quite nicely after reaching Level 20, but I had noticed something quite problematic… They had yet to evolve.

They couldn't evolve, in fact. It seems that their level cap was that. Maybe if they can get repaired again they could evolve? But for that I need to see if it ever happens by adding all my Stat Points to Divinity, I guess… It feels like gambling and trying to see if I get the stats or not. Also, how many Stat Points I earn per level is kind of underwhelming based in how many stats I just get from a single level.

I wonder if there's a way to get more Stat Points per level, or maybe each Point increases more Stats per point after reaching a certain level of power? I know that Skill Points balance themselves around the Skill Library by slowly and eventually making available skills cheaper as I grow stronger. But what about the Stat Points though? Hm, in these times I wish I could have my cute Andromeda to tell me this stuff, she was always there for me… Ugh, I miss my family.

"SIGH…"

"…What's wrong?"
