Chapter 759 The First Victory Of The War
-----
(Blake's POV)
After the defeat of all the other Demon Lords and Sarauviel, the armies of Demonic Beasts and Demon Giants lost their morale greatly, giving my army the opportunity to take them down by overwhelming them with sheer numbers and absolute skill spamming.
Although the city ended in even more ruins than before, the demons were slain thoroughly, the survivors were rescued, and a lot of EXP was given out... Okay, maybe that last part shouldn't be as important as the survivors being fine, but well.
Ding!

And right as I gained several levels and one of my Skills evolved, I felt a surge of Mana and Magic Power rushing across my entire body. It felt amazingly refreshing! I didn't expect a Skill to suddenly Evolve out of nowhere, but they were already at Level 10, so I should had guessed it would had happened any time.
The Bonuses are really good, +2000 MP and +1000 Intelligence permanently is huge, especially because they can be further boosted through other buffs to give me even more. Flat Stat Boosts are sometimes much more valuable than percentage-based ones.
With that said and done...
"Blake why did you had to take down the big boss alone?! And twice!" Erika was complaining at my side. "I wanted to battle it too! Not fair!"
"I'll have to agree with Erika this time, I also wanted to join the fight, but you two just defeated them way too quickly!" Elizabeth crossed her arms.
I never expected these two beautiful and delicate-looking girls to be such potent battle junkies, they have developed a rather unhealthy obsession with gauging their strength with a powerful opponent, and I think I might have some fault in that.
After all, I was the one that raised them to be brave and strong, so... Perhaps this is what they had developed as a result. It's not that it is bad or something, but it is quite overwhelming sometimes.n()o.(v-.e-/l-/B./1-)n
"Ah, sorry about that." I sighed. "Well, clean things up quicker if you want to join next time."
"Eh? Meanie!" Erika pouted. "You should say that you'll leave us beat the next big boss."
"We are rather strong ourselves now..." Elizabeth squinted her eyes. "Didn't you helped us grow our strength to this point to help you?"
"Indeed... Okay, next time you'll get to beat the boss." I ended agreeing with them. "But if it's too strong, I'll join anyways. Don't complain."
"Okay, deal!" Erika nodded. "Now give me a kiss! You look all serious."
"M-Me too. I deserve that at the very least, right?" Elizabeth blushed.
"Right..." I sighed, as I ended giving them what they wanted, two kisses, they calmed down after that.
It's impressive what sort of power giving a kiss has on the people of this world. Eric became incredibly brave and heroic after Alberta gave him a kiss too, and Erika and Elizabeth always change their mood almost instantly after one too.
"Looks like my lord is being overwhelmed as usual." Eleanora giggled, pretending to not want a kiss either.
"Eleanora wants one too, don't pretend." Erika smiled teasingly.
"She always says she almost pass out with your kisses, Blake. She's really in love." Elizabeth teased her even more.
"Is that so?" I wondered with a serious expression, rubbing my chin to consider this new information.
"E-Eeeh?! T-That's not right at all! T-They're just lying, Blake!" Eleanora's pale skinned face grew incredibly red.
"Hm, alright, come." I smiled, holding her hand.
"Uwawaaahh! Muh- Ahh~!" Eleanora almost had an orgasm as I kissed her lips for just a second.
"That's new." I nodded, making a mental note. "How cute."
Although I was giving a rather expressionless face, I was rather overjoyed by her cuteness. An unexpected, new, and adorable trait for a woman who was already perfect.
"She's so cute, isn't she~?" Erika giggled, giving Eleanora a head pat while she was in her energy-saving mode, looking to be around their same age.
"Indeed, that was adorable. Eleanora, you're really cute..." Elizabeth nodded, analyzing the situation almost as pragmatically as I was.
"Right? Let's tease her more." I agreed.
"I agree!" She nodded.
"W-What are you two even talking about?!" Eleanora protested. "Anyways! Let's go regroup with everyone else, the survivors need some attention too."
