"What do you mean?" Yin says while looking up at me.
"If you run into any of the werewolves during your scouting mission, you shouldn't have much trouble killing them,"
"Okay~" Yin replies while swinging her legs back and forth.
We continued this for about 10 more minutes before I got an idea I wanted to try out.
"Master… I wanted you to pet me more," Yin says with puppy eyes.
"Sorry that doesn't work on me," I reply coldly before walking up my castle.
As I passed through the floors I ran into Sophia who was continuing to work hard. Once she noticed me she came up to me whilst fidgeting with her hands. Her eyes darted side to side avoiding my gaze and I also heard her swallow a gulp of saliva.
"M-master, I-I have a r-request. If you would be so kind as to listen to it," Sophia says, sweating bullets.
"Sure, but I also need you to run an errand for me that I can't be bothered to do," I respond.
"T-thank you and I will be sure to do whatever you request. I would like you to give suggestions on my fighting style," Sophia says with eager eyes.
"Well, maybe I'll do it while you are in action. I am currently planning to attack the wolf mountain guardians territory. If you stand out and I see it, then I will monitor you and give suggestions… Now onto my request,"
"Thank you," Sophia says, changing to a slightly calmer demeanor.
"It's a couple of errands now that I think about it. First, I want you to go to Aimi's shop and find her. If the employees stop you from talking to her then I want you to say that I sent you. If they still don't believe you then put in a request for you to see her and it has to be today.
Once you see her, tell her that I sent you and then bring the clothing set she has been working on for the past week. Then put in a request for a new dress that you maids will wear, I don't know how many maids there are so you have to find out. I'll draw the design soon.
Finally, go to Aiso and retrieve the scythe that he has been working on for me. This is just in case somebody might try and steal it from the people who retrieve the things for me. Since you are the strongest out of my maids I would assume this would be the best job for you,"
"As you wish," Sophia says while bowing.
She only lifted her head once I walked past and I continued to go up the floors of my castle.
Once I arrived at the top of my castle which was the hill my castle was engraved on, I felt the nice breeze against my face. It was sunny today and the warm sunshine gave me a sense of comfort while I walked about 1 mile away from my kingdom.
For my plan to not hinder the kingdom, I picked a spot north of my kingdom which was just behind my castle.
I turned my palms upwards and then muttered,
"[Seeds of the Ancient Fires],"
2 seeds the size of baseballs appeared in both of my hands. Floating above the right hand was an ominous dark seed that was covered in black flames. It also had black tattoos that were in the same jagged pattern as my own.
Floating above my left hand was a bright and noble, white seed that was covered in white flames. It had white tattoos that were in the same pattern as myself and I knew this couldn't have been a coincidence so I decided to [Inspect] both seeds.
[Qliphoth's Seed]
[This seed grows into a massive black tree over time. The leaves that fall from it will turn into their descendants which follow the person who created the seed. They will dedicate their lives to their orders not failing at anything within their ability.]
[Yggdrasil's Seed]
[This seed grows into a massive white tree over time. The leaves that fall from it will turn into their descendants which follow the person who created the seed. They will dedicate their lives to their orders not failing at anything within their ability.]
Pretty simple. I'll plant Qliphoth here and then Yggrasil towards the south. I don't know how big these things will grow and if they grow so big that they block out the sun, then I'll plant them towards the north and south so the sun can hit my kingdom.
I pushed the black seed towards the ground and unsurprisingly, it burned through the grass and dirt like butter. A small vortex of black flames surrounded the hole and then coiled towards my chest.
[Would you like to give up [Ancient Fire Magic: Amaterasu] for Qliphoth?]
"Yes," I said.
A sharp pain, panged in my chest while black smoke started to leak from every orifice of my body. It felt like part of my soul was getting removed but the pain wasn't that bad-
"ARGHHHHH!"
I quickly took back my ignorant thought as I kneeled on the ground in pain. I clenched my chest which felt like it was being split open. The pain was almost comparable to evolution.
…
"HUFF HUFF HUFF,"
After about 2 minutes of pain, I felt something missing from me. It was like my thumb had disappeared from my hand. I unclenched my chest while checking the notifications I received.
[Pain Resistance has leveled up (x3)]
[Extraction of skill [Ancient Fire Magic: Amaterasu] complete]
The black seed that was implanted in the ground let out black steam before dirt-covered it once again.
"Shit… I have to go through that one more time," I smile wearily.
…
"HUFF HUFF HUFF,"
[Pain Resistance has leveled up (x1)]
[Pain Resistance has evolved into Pain Immunity]
[Extraction of skill [Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei] complete]
A white seed was currently implanted in the ground while letting out white steam. Soon it was covered by dirt as I fell onto my butt breathing heavily.
I checked my status while I was at it and used my body modifications.
[Gargantuan Centipedes Exoskeleton]
[Poison Fangs]
All I felt was a slight tingle on my skin and in my 2 fangs.
Soon it dissipated as I decided to assimilate my body modifications but also assimilate the seed skill. It hasn't disappeared yet which confused me since I thought only one Qliphoth and Yggdrasil could exist at the same time.

[Ancient Reproduction Art]
[This art grants you the benefits of [The Art of Sex] while allowing you to reproduce with both genders. It will be easier to impregnate your mate while having sex.
