“Susize. Beccy. Reina. Murag. Yaekira.” I spoke the names of the five ghostly phantoms fearfully staring at the Dark Lord’s scorched state of being. It was slightly, but I saw a little bit of movement within those deep, dark flames engulfing her being. Murag started to speak, but his words were unknown for a few seconds until I learned the language.
New Skill: [Arezzian Language]
Arezzian? That’s an odd name.
“This room... It was where that abominable monster killed Susize. The seeds she carried were doused by her blood. Over time this desolate, dark, despicable place was transformed into the utopia you see before you,” whispered Murag.
I understood him perfectly. Internally, I marveled at how powerful [Scholar’s Tongue] could be in the right situation.
He huffed, meeting my eyes while shaking his head. “Did you intend on this being your grave? You’ve read the tablets, so why did you continue to go through with breaking the seals that required our very lives?”
“Yeah, I’ve read them, so what? I need the power the Dark Lord holds if I’m to accomplish my goals.”
“But why?!” Yaekira whined. Her brown ears wiggled while her tail snapped in fury. Her eyes darted down to my legs. The disgust on her face was plainly visible. She crossed her arms over her exposed stomach, hiding it from my gaze even though I wasn’t staring at it.
“You should know how dangerous the Dark Lord of Tyranny can be! She forced mothers to kill sons, fathers to suffocate daughters, and brothers to butcher sisters. She destroyed their bodies and spirits, then tightened her grip around their souls to feed them into the awful machine called war!!” shouted Reina. “She almost destroyed the world!”
Disgusting gurgling came from Susize’s neck stump. Was it possible they forced her into the ritual seal after her death?
“Does it look like I care? Hey, just how long does it take? She’s been burning for a few minutes. Besides, there’s nothing you can say to me that’ll make me regret my actions.”
“WHY?!?!?! Don’t you know that freeing the Dark Lord would mean everything we had worked for—all of the years of planning, hoping, praying, and training—you're really just going to throw our hard work away?! And for you to do that while being a disgusting chimera? No... Just no!!!” Yaekira ranted, throwing a tantrum. My nonchalant tone irritated her.
“Again... I don’t really care. If it pisses you off even more, I’ll gladly do it while looking like this. The five Soul Warriors of Lord Amos... Those who gave their lives to keep the Dark Lord sealed away... How ironic that the one to free her will do it while looking like you. Haha! It’s almost like it was fate, right?” My chuckles and laughs seemed to set them off, but I didn’t care.
“YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!!!!! YOU’VE DOOMED THE WORLD!!!! Everyone will die... They’ll all die... And you’ll be responsible... It’ll be as if you went around and personally slit the throats of every innocent child. The five of us left behind loved ones! What about our descendants? They’re innocent! They don’t deserve to have that innocence tainted by the ravages of war!! Everyone deserves to live in peace, right? What about your loved ones? You have family, right? And friends? What would they think about this? Listen to their voices that reside in your heart? You can still stop this! You can still reverse your mistake!!!!” Reina was trying to appeal to a sense of righteousness or filial piety that she assumed I had, but her fierce glare gave away how empty her platitudes were.
“Are you trying to guilt trip me by appealing to my affection for my loved ones? Hahaha!! You have no idea how hilariously misplaced that ridiculous bullshit sounds to me. If I listened to my ‘family’ I’d have committed suicide years ago. They never stopped telling me how worthless I was and egging me on to just off myself and do them and the world a favor.
“Do you know how many times my parents tried abandoning me? Do you know how many times they actually succeeded in doing so? How it took weeks to get back home, and my reward was my so-called father’s fist to my face the second the police officers were out of sight? How many times has my ‘mother’ forced me to drink water from the toilet because she said the faucet water was too good for me? How my ‘sister’ took great joy in stealing what little I managed to collect and keep from my parents? How many times have I literally had to scrounge for scraps in the garbage because my ‘family’ refused to actually give me any food? Or how about the ‘family bonding sessions,’ where they got together and beat me for being a failure in a meritocracy that demands excellence because one of them was stressed? Or how about how it was a mercy when they finally decided to just ignore my existence and pretend I wasn’t around, since at least then they weren’t actively making my life a living hell? They broke me.
“There isn’t anyone out there who would miss me if I died, and a large number who would actively cheer for it. In fact, I’ve already died once. That bitch Meruria tossed me into the void, so death is something I’m already well acquainted with.
“Basically, I have nothing to lose. Either I free this Dark Lord and she kills me, freeing me from this miserable existence and she’ll go on to destroy the world, or she joins me and we work together to destroy Cridia. I don’t give a fuck about your descendants. If they try to stop me, I’ll send them your way with a hole in their stomach, but they aren’t worth slaughtering if they stay out of it.”
Suddenly, the magical energy the Dark Lord was crucified on was instantly swallowed by flames of the darkest night.
And then it exploded, sending cascades of tiny fragments of white and black down to the ground, where they sizzled instantly in the soft green grass, but that wasn’t all.
There was a woman—a youthful woman around the age of 25-30, that slowly descended amongst the falling debris. Her skin was light gray. Her hair, which came to her shoulder blades, lion-like tail, and lion-like ears were the same obsidian black as those powerful flames that seemingly threatened all of reality. The fur on her forearms and lower legs shared the same color as her hair. She turned towards me, staring with those deep silver eyes as her feet finally touched the warm grass.
The tablets detailed a Lionfolk with blue and red fur, but that wasn’t what I saw.
My eyes briefly scanned up and down, realizing the Dark Lord was completely naked. Her breasts were full and rich, yet smaller than mine. My nipples were pink, yet hers was a gentle light gray, matching her skin. And while I didn’t intend to stare at her crotch, I did notice she was nearly hairless. Her stomach was slim and toned, but not overly muscled like Yaekira or Murag.
The Dark Lord of Tyranny turned back towards the five spirits and scoffed, then walked and knelt down on one leg in front of me, placing her arm across her chest as if she was a noble knight and I was her queen. Her piercing silver eyes never did look away.
“My savior,” she spoke with a distinctively feminine voice, yet it was a tad deeper than I thought and contained remnants of great power. “I used the last of my strength to summon your soul from the void after sensing your incredible fury, but I did not transform you into a chimera. That is beyond my ken. However, I exploited the flaw in the seal after I killed Susize to make you a body from the cowering warriors you see behind me. Amos’s Holy Mana flows through your body, and that allowed you to break the seals. If you’ll permit me, my savior, I will follow you on your path of revenge.”
She’s speaking Arezzian.
“How will we leave? I don’t see any sort of exit,” I replied. The Dark Lord stood and pointed behind her.
“This is not the dungeon’s original form. The very nature of one is to be ever-changing. I do not know when it happened, but the safe rooms detailed in the tablets closed around my seal to create a loop with no entrance. If you wish to leave, you must conquer it.”
“How do I do that?” I figured I knew the answer. If freeing her wasn’t the way, then I probably had to kill those spirits. Each one, barring the headless High Elf, had removed those fearful expressions and replaced them with one that was ready for battle.
“The dungeon morphed to keep anyone from reaching me, and it has two goals. One is my freedom, which you have expertly accomplished. The other is to exorcise their spirits. The teleportation circle will appear after that.”
“DON’T LISTEN TO HER LIES!!!” screamed Murag as the Dark Lord turned around and stood in front of me. Her tail was sharply lashing from left to right, yet I knew she was smiling. I walked forward to stand beside her, which I didn’t think she expected.
“Look, I have my revenge I need to get to. The only way I can do that is by leaving.” Murag scowled and lowered his head, his teeth-colored tusks aimed at me. It seemed he was about to charge at me like a raging bull. Before he could, the headless High Elf specter ran between us and held out her arms. Energy gathered around her neck, and I was soon staring at the original owner of my new head. There was great strain on her face, though, so whatever she just did took a lot out of her.
“No...” she said in a voice that matched my own. “I won’t allow you to ruin everything we worked for! On my status as the Princess of Vredi, the first chosen Soul Warrior of Holy Lord Amos, I will stop you here!!!”
All at once, the five gathered mana in their hands, and the weapons they were buried with appeared for them to grasp.
“These may not be our Soul Weapons, but our ceremonial weapons are just as powerful!” Susize shouted.
“Hahahahaha!!!!!!” The Dark Lord broke into laughter. “Really, you think those toys can save you? My savior, {Mana Link} is an enchantment that links your mana to an object, allowing you to recall it from anywhere. You are created from their bodies. Concentrate and focus, Master. Claim those weapons as your own.”
I nodded and held out a hand. Focusing hard, I thought about the gun Reina had pointed at us. In my mind, I ran an invisible hand over the sleek, silver barrel, rubbed the cherry wood grips, and cocked it back, loading a 9mm round inside the chamber.
Something clicked, and my empty hand wasn’t so empty.
“WHAT?! What did you do?!” Even if I had never touched a gun before, Scorpion’s Bite felt so familiar and comforting, and I wondered if it was Reina’s instincts flowing through my arms. I grinned and looked it over while the Dark Lord congratulated me. Then I went a step farther and summoned the remaining weapons over to my side, grasping each one while storing them away in my mana, which came naturally to me.
The Dark Lord observed the weaponless warriors and cracked her knuckles. Murag ran in front of Susize and held up his hands. While being wary of us, they hastily spoke strategy, but the Dark Lord just laughed once more. “My savior, give the command, and I will rupture these foolish souls from the cycle of reincarnation. Only mana belonging to Amos or those that created the seal can wipe them from this reality. I trust you know what to do.”
“I do,” I said, summoning Murag’s warhammer. It was too heavy for me to comfortably wield with two hands, but the Dark Lord had no trouble hefting it over her shoulder. She walked forward, exclaiming that it was finally time to get her revenge. In a flash, she darted forward with surprising speed and brought the gratuitous heavy weapon down onto Murag. He held up both hands to block it, but the ruby red spikes pierced through his forearms, and he bled out crimson blood.
Susize appeared from behind and tried to tackle the Dark Lord, yet the High Elf just phased through and fell to her stomach.
“You don’t realize it, do you? My savior has broken the seal keeping your astral spirits tied to this world. If you want proof, look at the blood dripping down. When you die, you won’t even enter the cycle of reincarnation!” shouted the Dark Lord. She yanked her weapon back, slicing open Murag’s arms while spinning and slamming the warhammer onto Susize’s back. The princess yelped and cried, but Beccy’s, Reina’s, and Yaekira’s feeble punches and strikes were totally useless.
I stood back and watched as the Dark Lord enacted her final revenge. Her movements were brutal and without care, and I was amazed by her raw power and intensity. She threw her warhammer at Beccy and knocked her to the ground. With black flames wrapped around her feet, she stomped forward and maliciously grinned at her prey. She lifted the warhammer and brought it down upon Beccy’s stomach, pulling away to allow her ghastly intestines to flow out on top of a river of blood. She cried out in a primal voice filled with so much pain. Her hands desperately tried to push her ghostly innards back inside her body, but it was to no avail.
The Dark Lord began to strike Reina and Yaekira, who continued their fruitless endeavors with war cries. It didn’t matter how many times they tried to punch the Dark Lord because nothing would ever happen. Perhaps the Dark Lord sensed that because she went for their knees, breaking them with a single powerful slam of her warhammer. Then, one by one, she brought the wounded, weakened, battered spirits over to me and forced them to kneel.
Susize glared at me with those big eyes. Water was already leaking down the sides as she begged me. “Please, don’t do this. You can’t do this! You can’t let her leave this place!” The Dark Lord, who was covered in blood from the brawl, walked and stood by me.
“That’s exactly what I’m going to do. We’re going to leave here, and I’m going to kill Meruria and her shitty warriors. I won’t stop until I have her head on a fucking pike.”
“That’s it! Chimera, you are recently born, so you’re weak and cannot assimilate our corpses. And by the time you do have enough strength to do so, we will have decomposed and returned as one to the great Mother Nature!” Reina exclaimed, finding her voice after being trounced.
Remaining silent, I ignored her.
“Agree to the following geas. You will do your natural duties and reseal the Dark Lord, and you will only kill Meruria and her Soul Warriors. Pledge your soul, and we will grant you the rest of our mana. We’ll willingly pass into the afterlife, content to not come back into the world of the living for the rest of eternity. That is how serious we are in preventing her from breaking free. Please, it is for the best! With our power combined, even Lord Amos will be unable to defeat you.”
“Wait, so let me get this right. You’ll allow me to get my revenge, with your power, mind you, and you’re willing to just completely die for the rest of eternity, so the Dark Lord doesn’t escape?” All five nodded, then begged me that it was the correct choice.
So, I thought it over for a few seconds.
“You know what? I’m starting to feel like I won’t stop at Meruria. Maybe this world needs to go. Maybe it needs to burn to a crisp and cease to exist. So yeah, you just convinced me. Fuck the world and all that’s in it.” I summoned Reina’s gun, pressed it to her head after cocking it, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
I killed a humanoid in cold blood. I could argue that the goblin was also a humanoid, but it wasn’t capable of proper communication.
I used to think the weight of the trigger would be extremely heavy, but it was as light as a feather. Did a life weight that much? Why did it take so little effort to completely kill someone?
I didn’t feel anything of it as her spirit slumped against the bloody ground.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE GOING TO FUCKING DIE!!!!!!!!!!” Murag screamed. He raged against his broken legs, doing his best to even try to inch towards me, but I just adjusted my aim. I intended to kill him, but Beccy was the next to go. The back of her head exploded, and ghostly brain matter and thick crimson splashed the emerald grass around this slice of paradise.
Yaekira’s crying was then silenced, and by then, I was feeling weak and lethargic. It seemed that only three bullets were enough to drain my mana by 60%, but the Dark Lord stabilized me by grabbing my shoulders. I hated being touched, but it was different this time... I turned my aim to Susize, who started to pray to Amos for safety and protection. Murag was desperately crawling towards me, even managing to reach my leg, yet even though I had his mana running through me, his semi-astral body was on the bare cusp of disappearing.
There was literally nothing he could do to stop me from pulling the trigger, sending a bullet straight down through Susize’s head until it landed safely in her chest. Her prayer was silenced with a loud gunshot. Her lifeless spiritual body fell to the ground with a harsh thud, and there was just one more left.
I felt even weaker than before with only 1/5th of my mana remaining. My breath became audible and hastened as sweat doused my brow. If the bar was filling it, it was as fast as a snail walked.
The two Murags I saw within my hazy vision must’ve felt a whirlwind of emotions. “Please... Don’t do this... Do not let her out... She cannot be free to roam around the world because it’s in her very nature to bring devastation... Susize, Reina, Beccy, Yaekira, and I sacrificed so much... Please, find it in your heart—”
His final pathetic wishes would go ignored as the sound of gunfire cut him off, erasing him from this world. His spirit dematerialized at the same time as the others, transforming into energy that simply vanished away. The blood covering the Dark Lord and the grass disappeared as well, removing any traces that they were even here.
Well, their corpses remained. I guess they were telling the truth that their bodies would eventually decay into nothingness.
“Shit...” I said, stumbling forward as the pistol fell from my hand. The Dark Lord appeared in front of me, catching my body and wrapping her hands around my back as she gently brought me to the ground.
The fur on her arms… It’s so soft…and warm…
“{Mana Link} is powerful for a reason, and it comes with a great cost. I’m surprised you were even able to fire five shots. Sleep well, Master, and recover your strength. I will watch over you,” she whispered, kneeling down beside me.
Nearby, an explosion of light carved a rotating white circle into the ground. Obviously, that was how I was going to get out of here, but I couldn’t focus on it because sleepiness saw fit to snatch me away for a few hours.
West side, motherf*ckfers!
Lmao
But did she hold the gun sideways?
So is the demon lord the top or bottom
Yes.
>:)
She prefers to be a bottom, but we find out more about this in Chapter 19.
@RuggyRuggy oi oi oi demon bottoms are supreme
And for you to do that while being a disgusting chimera?
Chimeras are counted as monsters and are discriminated against, right?
What do Murag, Yaekira, Reina, Susize and Beccy think of everyone who made Mila suffer until she was broken and vindictive to the point where she didn't mind sacrificing the innocent and the world for her revenge?
“Agree to the following geas. You will do your natural duties and reseal the Dark Lord, and you will only kill Meruria and her Soul Warriors. Pledge your soul, and we will grant you the rest of our mana. We’ll willingly pass into the afterlife, content to not come back into the world of the living for the rest of eternity. That is how serious we are in preventing her from breaking free. Please, it is for the best! With our power combined, even Lord Amos will be unable to defeat you.”
If Mila agreed to this geas she would be unable to kill anyone but Meruria and her soul warrios even if they attacked her first to get in the way of her revenge, right?
Thanks for the chapter
Yes, chimeras are monsters, and they're hunted the moment they're discovered to be one.
Murag and the others? They don't care. Their primary and singular goal is to keep the Dark Lord of Tyranny sealed away. Anything else doesn't matter in the slightest because they lived firsthand and saw what hell she was capable of creating. It is not an understatement to say that the Dark Lord of Tyranny came very, very, very close to destroying the world. She was an absolutely terrifying tyrant.
If Mila agreed to that? Yes, she would be unable to hurt or harm anyone except Meruria and her Soul Warriors. But she'd be so powerful that other attacks from anyone else could just be shrugged off. She'll have barriers upon barriers around her, which would just deflect and protect her.
@RuggyRuggy Chimeras are hunted urgently due to their terrifying growth potential, right?
Are chimera normally wild monsters, or sapient and capable of dialogue?
So if Mila accepted the geas would she be unable to kill any creature, also including monsters and even the animals she hunted for food?
@Gin_Otamegane
Yes, chimeras are hunted because they do not have a limit to their growth.
Are chimera normally wild monsters, or sapient and capable of dialogue?
When they're 'born', they're no more than wild beasts. They have to eat, kill, and devour in order to become sapient and capable of complex thoughts. Chimera have ten stages, and they all start as a Lesser Chimera, even Mila. But in Mila's case, her soul was forcefully turned into one, rather than being reborn as one, so she never lost the ability to think.
At the second stage, you obtain the ability to consciously think and make decisions.
If Mila accepted the geas
Yes, that's correct. But Mila can get biomass from any organic material, which includes things like fruits and vegetables. So if she accepted that offer, she just needed to snack on some apples and lettuce, or if she comes across a corpse, she can just feed off it.
@RuggyRuggy Though it would be hard for Mila to find any fresh, clean corpses. ...chimeras can get food poisoning from eating rotten things?
Come to think of it, this geas has a loophole that Mila could exploit to get fresh food. Mila even bound to geas could hit her target/prey until he was incapacitated and had a subordinate of hers ending the life of it, right?
Now that I think about it, what did Reina mean when she mentioned "your natural duties" in geas?
@Gin_Otamegane
Chimeras have a small, innate resistance to poison, but there's a skill called Poison Resistance that is a must for chimera. But if she did accept the geas, Mila could always dig up some graves. At that point, there wouldn't be much stronger than her, so really, graveyards would be the perfect feasting ground.
And yes, Mila could just pay someone to kill for her, and she could just eat their corpse.
Natural duties? She was just referring to Mila sealing away the Dark Lord. Back 1,000 years ago, it was the world's mission to defeat the Dark Lord, so ending her life / sealing her away was everyone's natural duty. The whole world had to band together to defeat her, and even that wasn't enough.
@RuggyRuggy Yes, and Mila could wear a ghoul guise while feasting so as not to tarnish her reputation, as raiding graves to eat the occupants is something they are famous for. ...ghouls do that in this world too, right?
But eating rotten corpses beyond disgusting would be torture for Mila's taste and smell, unless she managed to turn them off, right?
Could Mila get the traits and skills from the corpses even if they were just bones?
And yes, Mila could just pay someone to kill for her, and she could just eat their corpse.
Did Reina leave this loophole in the geas on purpose?
@Gin_Otamegane
Ghouls / zombies exist in this world, and so does necromancy and other sinister magic like blood magic.
Eating rotten corpses-- That's where it slightly differs. Each chimera has a distinct preference. Some prefer rotten meat, others prefer the living, and some might think the perfect time to eat someone is ten minutes after they die. For Mila? She rather enjoys the taste of boar.
If they were bones-- It depends. For different monsters and opponents, you have to assimilate/eat a certain percentage in order to gain their strength. The stronger the monster, the more you have to eat of it. Which can be a problem. Let's say you kill a powerful dinosaur or something, and those can be quite giant. If you didn't have anything to help you assimilate, like a slime's ability to swallow (Even then, if you aren't strong as a slime, you probably can't cover the whole dinosaur), you'll literally be sitting there eating it by hand for days or weeks. Which can be dangerous .
On purpose-- No, she didn't. She was quite panicked and had very little time to speak. Even more so because the Dark Lord of Tyranny was literally standing right there. I think I understated it, but Sekh was absolutely brutal in the past. She was a literal tyrant to end all tyrants, and everyone knew her name.
@RuggyRuggy So, could there also be chimeras prefer meat soaked with some condiment such as mayonnaise?
Is assimilation impaired if the meat is cooked?
So, did the Sekh become an even greater tyrant to make tyrants taste their medicine?
@Gin_Otamegane
Yep! Speaking of mayo, you even have some that prefer to BBQ their meat. Others deserve to use acid or some other type of dissolving liquid to reduce their meat to liquid and slurp it up. A lot of variety is out there.
Yes, you can assimilate if the meat is cooked. You could even char it to a crisp, and it won't lose that much nutritional value to a chimera. For example, if it's spider meat that gives a skill called string shot, it'll still give that skill.
The reason behind Sekh's rise to tyranny? It is a spoiler, so I cannot talk about it.
@RuggyRuggy This reminds me that there are some spiders that inject acid into their prey to eat this way. But the chimera would need to be acid resistant in order to safely eat the melted food, right?
Will Mila meet other chimeras and have gastronomic discussions with them?
@RuggyRuggy Hypothetically speaking, what would a dark lord have to do to earn titles like "Loli Dark Lord"?
@Gin_Otamegane
That's correct. If a chimera is going to eat a bug-type monster that carries venom or acid through their body, then they will take some damage when they eat them, and they would have to have some sort of poison / acid resistance or immunity to safety chow down on them.
However, if the chimera can endure it, they can also gain innate resistance to something extraordinarily poisonous by forcing themselves to assimilate more and more of the poisonous monster they want to assimilate. With each bite/ eaten monster, they'll slowly gain more and more resistance, even if it isn't outright stated.
But yes, they would often need a skill to safely assimilate without any negative effects.
Yes, Mila will meet other chimeras and have discussions with them. Unlike others, she was forcefully turned into one by some unknown entity in the void. She wasn't exactly born as one.
@Gin_Otamegane
I'm not sure that would even be a title, but they would probably have to become on at a young age. Or perhaps there's a vampire out there that was turned into one when they were like 11-13, and their aging stops. Should that happen, and they become a Dark Lord, they would probably get that title.
@RuggyRuggy The requirement seems lower than I expected. So doing something like creating a lolification spell that converts any sapient being into a loli with eternal youth, and using it on herself and her subordinates would be overkill to get the title "Loli Dark Lord"?
@RuggyRuggy So, if the chimera doesn't have a resistance skill, the process of assimilating a poisonous creature seems to be quite painful. This reminds me that in the novel "The monster girl's evolution" they said something like:
"Actually, the other reason why large felines were more ferocious than primates was because they did not have an exaggerated sense of pain."
Do chimeras perhaps have a lower sense of pain than humans?
For some reason I couldn't help but imagine Mila taking in and raising a natural chimera that acts similar to a wild child like the Mowgli, and that chimera eventually becoming one of her lovers. What do you think?
@Gin_Otamegane
Yeah, that'll probably be overkill. And yeah, with how the spellcrafting skill works, it'll be possible to make a spell like that. Would be incredibly hard to almost impossible to use since it involves granting someone Timeless Existence while making them a new form.
@Gin_Otamegane
Do they have a lower sense of pain? Possibly. Some of them might have purposely rid themselves of nerves when fighting to ignore the pain and use other means to attack.
Her taking in and raising a chimera that eventually becomes one of her lovers?
I can definitely see the first part happening. Like, if she comes across a newly born chimera that has just obtained their sentience, they might be really scared and not know what's happening, and Mila, if she's more experienced, might take them in. But as for that chimera becoming her lover?
I would say because of things I cannot talk about, I don't think Mila would go that far to make that chimera a lover. A valued and trusted ally? Then yes, I can see that.
However, that's not to say there won't be another character who finds a chimera and raises them to be their lover. It's always possible, but I can't say anything more because of spoilers.
@RuggyRuggy Would the lolification spell be much easier if instead of granting eternal youth, it just resets the target's lifespan and ensures they look youthful until death?
@RuggyRuggy Getting rid of the sense of pain to fight ignoring the pain seems to me like something that would be done mainly by chimera of the berserker and tank classes, right?
Okay, I don't care so much if she doesn't have another chimera as a lover. Having another chimera among your friends and allies is good enough.
What I most wanted to see was a chimera calling Mila "big sis", "sis", etc and Mila enjoying it.
And also to see the two having a conversation about different fetishes and ways to use transfiguration for lovemaking with their respective lovers. That would be a pretty interesting girl talk, right?
@Gin_Otamegane
Would the lolification spell be much easier if instead of granting eternal youth, it just resets the target's lifespan and ensures they look youthful until death?
Yes, resetting a target's life span, while still incredibly difficult, is much easier than effectively freezing a person's time, which is what happens to those with Timeless Existence.
Getting rid of the sense of pain to fight ignoring the pain seems to me like something that would be done mainly by chimera of the berserker and tank classes, right?
Yep. What makes it even more fearsome for chimera that fight like this is that they can flood their body with biomass to heal up any wounds that would prevent them from fighting with 100% of their ability.
Okay, I don't care so much if she doesn't have another chimera as a lover. Having another chimera among your friends and allies is good enough.
What I most wanted to see was a chimera calling Mila "big sis", "sis", etc and Mila enjoying it.
Let's just say you won't be disappointed. That's all I can say on that, lol.
And also to see the two having a conversation about different fetishes and ways to use transfiguration for lovemaking with their respective lovers. That would be a pretty interesting girl talk, right?
That would be interesting, and there will be a lot of girl talk at night when some more characters are introduced and Mila is feeling more confident in her new body.
@RuggyRuggy Hypothetically speaking. What would Mila, Sekh and Tilde's reaction be if they visited the city of "Loli Dark Lord" saw the city full of lolis and found out that they are all fully fledged adults who asked "Loli Dark Lord" to lolify them for reasons how to extend their lives, start over with a new identity, heal their crippled body through lolification, abandon their monster form and get a new one more humanoid (or lolinoid in case)?
I see, chimera who opted for this fighting style would feel like immortal opponents. ...speaking of immortals would immortal-killing curses that deny healing work on chimeras? Or would the chimeras get rid of the curse by simply ripping off the part with the affected wound?
For some reason when you said that girl talk would be the night I couldn't help but imagine a "pajama party" with the girls wearing cozy onesies.
And speaking of onesies, I remember that the MC of the manga "The Servant of the Ultimate Party" says that onesies are very practical when traveling and camping, because, unlike sleeping bags, they don't restrict movement . So if you are attacked while sleeping, you don't even have to take it off before you start running or fighting with all your might. What do you think?
Are there onesies in this world?
@Gin_Otamegane
Hypothetically speaking. What would Mila, Sekh and Tilde's reaction be if they visited the city of "Loli Dark Lord" saw the city full of lolis and found out that they are all fully fledged adults who asked "Loli Dark Lord" to lolify them for reasons how to extend their lives, start over with a new identity, heal their crippled body through lolification, abandon their monster form and get a new one more humanoid (or lolinoid in case)?
They would probably find it a bit off at first, but they wouldn't have any reason to dislike or hate it. As long as everything was done consensually, of course. It's one thing if they all willingly asked the Loli Dark Lord to do this, but another thing entirely if the LDL waged a kidnapping campaign. But in this case, she hasn't, so they wouldn't have any problems.
speaking of immortals would immortal-killing curses that deny healing work on chimeras? Or would the chimeras get rid of the curse by simply ripping off the part with the affected wound?
It depends on how the curse acts. If the curse is something that just affects a single body part and needs time to initialize, then yes, they could rip off that arm and regrow it. But if it's a curse that affects the whole body? Then depending on how adept the chimera is at regenerating, they could possibly do a series of hyper-quick regenerations to create an entirely new body by literally starting from just a heart. However, it would have to be done in such a way that most would not be able to survive it.
Are there onesies in this world?
Yep! Mila and the others aren't the first groups to be summoned. On average, there is a summoning every 50-100 years, and they bring with them the culture of their own world. For example, someone was summoned from France and introduced French Onion Soup. It's entirely possible that someone introduced onesies into the world.
And spoiler alert: They have. When it's appropriate, there will be a scene of Mila and her girls just lying on the bed in the onesies she made for them.
@RuggyRuggy So would the 3 just think of LDL as an eccentric who is harmless as long as you leave her alone?
What would MIla, Sekh and Tilde's reactions be if they heard gossip in town that the reason LDL created this spell was just because she wanted to experience what it's like to be a loli who is loved by another loli, what it's like to be a loli who is pampered by an oneesan, and that her becoming a DL was never her goal but something that ended up happening while she was trying to perfect her lolification spell?
Now that I think about it, would goblins still attack females of other species if half or more than half of their population were lolified?
...but would the goblins have enough sapient for the spell to affect them?
Chimeras are undoubtedly tenacious.
Looks like this would be a chapter full of cute scenes amid fantasy, huh? This makes me anxious to be able to read it.
And what do you think of the idea that onesies can be used as sleeping bags that don't limit mobility?
@Gin_Otamegane
So would the 3 just think of LDL as an eccentric who is harmless as long as you leave her alone?
Pretty much. They might not become the best of friends with each other, but they'll certainly be acquaintances.
What would MIla, Sekh and Tilde's reactions be if they heard gossip in town that the reason LDL created this spell was just because she wanted to experience what it's like to be a loli who is loved by another loli, what it's like to be a loli who is pampered by an oneesan, and that her becoming a DL was never her goal but something that ended up happening while she was trying to perfect her lolification spell?
Pretty much the same thing. Mila never intended on being a chimera, it's just something that happened to her. So she can probably know what the LDL's feeling. But it is tremendously difficult to become a Holy/Dark Lord by complete accident because the requirements are so strenous. But it's not totally out of the question, I suppose.
Now that I think about it, would goblins still attack females of other species if half or more than half of their population were lolified?
Yes, goblins in my story reproduce a little bit differently in that they can reproduce with both males and females. Basically, the goblin inserts parasitic larvae into their victims, and when enough time has passed, the larvae burst from the victim. So really, no one is safe when they're captured by a goblin.
Well, that's the male goblins, anyway. Female goblins kidnap males and force them to impregnate them. So even if half the goblins were lolified, things would continue as normal.
And what do you think of the idea that onesies can be used as sleeping bags that don't limit mobility?
I like the sound of that.
@RuggyRuggy I see. And what would be the reaction of the 3 if they heard that LDL is on bad terms with Meruria, because she is against the LDL policy of accepting even sapient monsters in their city and with rights and treatment practically equal to that of people after going through some testing, training and education to ensure they have control over their wild instincts, in the case of those who were wild originally?
From what I've seen of Meruria she would hate LDL for having this policy, right?
Having a high mastery of {Dark Infusion} would make it easier to use complex spells like lolification, right?
Do male goblin larvae devour victims from the inside out?
Me too. After all, it would be hilarious if for example a group of bandits or assassins tried to attack the girls at night thinking they are helpless confined in their sleeping bags and without armor, only to see them dealing with them wearing cute onesies with a superior defensive power than of their armor and they yell at the girls something like "How can little girl pajamas be so overpowered!?" ?
@Gin_Otamegane
Basically, any enemy of Meruria has the potential to become an ally of Mila's. If anything, she might act a bit more favorable from the get go if whoever she's talking to wants to see Meruria dead.
Yes, she would hate the LDL for having that policy. Meruria is a selfish woman who desires ultimate power. She wants to have the strongest warriors, the most luxurious mansion/church, wants to have the world within the palm of her hand.
Having a high mastery of {Dark Infusion} would make it easier to use complex spells like lolification, right?
Yes, both having a high level of that and Holy Infusion, since Holy and Dark Mana are far more powerful than fire, water, nature, ice, etc etc mana. If you use Holy Infusion or Dark Infusion with the skill Spellcrafter, it drastically opens up your options.
Do male goblin larvae devour victims from the inside out?
Yes, it is possible to get rid of them, but you have to act fast since you have about a month. It basically involves drinking and eating poisonous berries and meals to kill the larvae without actually killing yourself. Incredibly painful.
Me too. After all, it would be hilarious if for example a group of bandits or assassins tried to attack the girls at night thinking they are helpless confined in their sleeping bags and without armor, only to see them dealing with them wearing cute onesies with a superior defensive power than of their armor and they yell at the girls something like "How can little girl pajamas be so overpowered!?" ?
This is something that's almost brought up. There's a scene where Mila's looking at some clothes and realizes that with enough resources and effort, a bikini could offer far more protective benefits, once it was enchanted all to hell, than a suit of plate armor. However, it requires so many resources that enchanting clothing is only viable for rich nobles. But yes, enchanted onsies / bikinis that offer more than a suit of armor are a thing, and it will happen.
@RuggyRuggy What would Mila, Sekh and Tilde think about in LDL city the monsters that were originally wild need to undergo testing, training and basic education offered for free by the government before they can stay in the city without a supervisor monitoring them?
Would Meruria be against only the LDL policy towards sapient monsters, or would she also be against lolification?
From what I've seen Meruria seems to be the type that makes enemies easily, right?
So, I was right in assuming that LDL's quest to perfect lolification could lead to her mastering dark Infusion until evolving into a Dark Lord.
Is it also possible to kill the larvae with electrocution? I once heard that with certain voltages only insects take damage, although in this case it was fleas on a cat.
In the case of the enchanted onesie, a simple durability-enhancing enchantment would be enough to be able to use it as armor, right?
But in the case of the enchanted bikini in addition to the durability increase, it would also have to be a kind of barrier or aura that would block, absorb, redirect or negate attacks to protect the wearer's exposed parts, right?
@Gin_Otamegane

THey wouldn't really mind it, I guess. When you get down to it, chimeras are legit monsters, and Mila is one of them. She isn't human anymore, nor is she a High Elf, even if she masquerades around as one, a Dark Elf, Ashen Orc, or a Desert Foxfolk. I'd say that Mila actually gets along more with monsters than other people. Or that's something that's going to show up later on.
Would Meruria be against only the LDL policy towards sapient monsters, or would she also be against lolication?
Possibly both, but she definitely has a rotten personality.
From what I've seen Meruria seems to be the type that makes enemies easily, right?
Yes, but she has a very rather unique ability to turn enemies into allies
Is it also possible to kill the larvae with electrocution? I once heard that with certain voltages only insects take damage, although in this case it was fleas on a cat.
Yes, that's an option as well. Really, anything that outright damages the internals of a body is fair game to get rid of the larvae.
In the case of the enchanted onesie, a simple durability-enhancing enchantment would be enough to be able to use it as armor, right?
But in the case of the enchanted bikini in addition to the durability increase, it would also have to be a kind of barrier or aura that would block, absorb, redirect or negate attacks to protect the wearer's exposed parts, right?
One of the primary enchantments for physical defense is called Physical Resistance, and it enhances the armor/clothing resistance to physical attacks. There's a few other enchantments called Physical Armor/Mana Armor/ Ironskin/ Steelskin/ that, when wore, increases the skin's durability. Which, when you're wearing a bikini or a short-sleeved shirt with a skirt, you'd need. This is the part that's very important.
(However, Mana Armor, Ironskin, and Steelskin are skills you can learn. But having it as an enchantment means it is always active without having to actively use it. So, the enchantment is more coveted, which means monster cores with these skills are incredibly expensive. Like, golems would have ironskin, but every golem core will not have Iron skin. It's a rare drop, so you might have to kill a few dozen or a few thousand.
And then you have something called Physical Reflection, which can reflect a certain percentage of physical damage back to the attacker, and then you outright have the immunity versions, which just eliminates any damage.
@RuggyRuggy So, would Mila be ok with going through the tests and free basic education for monsters?
Would Meruria hate it even more if LDL let those who asked for lolification choose their gender female, full-package futanari and futa san balls?
I bet Meruria makes them allies using questionable means like coercion, mind interference, etc, right?
Is it possible to immunize the body against goblin larvae?
Is it possible to curse the body to drain the larvae's vitality and mana?
If the user has the same defensive skill as the bikini enchantment can she stack them together to increase the effect?
If enchanting the bikini with frost resistance would that also protect the wearer from the cold weather just from frost magic attacks? After all, a bikini alone is something too breezy to wear in cold weather without getting sick.
@Gin_Otamegane
So, would Mila be ok with going through the tests and free basic education for monsters?
Yes, she would. If educating monsters would help her get her revenge against Meruria and classmates, either through them fighting for her, or them supporting her by getting her materials or retrieving monster cores for her enchanting.
Would Meruria hate it even more if LDL let those who asked for lolification choose their gender female, full-package futanari and futa san balls?
No, that wouldn't add to the hatred. Even a despicable woman like Meruria has her own fetishes she likes to indulge in. I'm not saying those are what she's into, but I'm also not saying they're not.
Is it possible to immunize the body against goblin larvae?
Yes. Some beastfolk can alter the temperature of their body, so they just have to do that to get rid of the larvae. And there are parasite resistance and parasite immunity type skills as well, which the larvae are considered a parasite.
Is it possible to curse the body to drain the larvae's vitality and mana?
Yes, that's one way to get rid of them. A dangerous method, but one that can definitely work.
I bet Meruria makes them allies using questionable means like coercion, mind interference, etc, right?
Yep. She's a strong fighter both on and off the field. She has a silver tongue and seems to know just what to say to get people on her side.
If the user has the same defensive skill as the bikini enchantment can she stack them together to increase the effect?
No. If you know Fire Resistance Lv 3, and you're wearing a cloak with Fire Resistance Lv. 6, then the two do not add together. It'll be like FE Lv. 3 doesn't exist, and you'd only get the effects of FE Lv. 6.
But Mana Regeneration can stack. You can have the Lv. 10 version on really everything, from rings to amulets to even underwear. The only limiting factor is it's a very powerful and expensive skill to acquire since very few monsters have that skill on their core.
If enchanting the bikini with frost resistance would that also protect the wearer from the cold weather just from frost magic attacks? After all, a bikini alone is something too breezy to wear in cold weather without getting sick.
Well, you have Fire and Ice Resistance, which works for fire and ice magic, and you also have heat and cold resistance, which works more towards temperatures. But even having Lv. 1 Fire Resistance would grant a small amount of resistance to heat, just not as much as having Heat Resistance.
A bikini would need Cold Resistance, but yes, that would work. At least, it would work somewhat good. For best results, it's still best to enchant a wool jacket or something like that with it. But enchanting a bikini is better than just wearing a coat.
@RuggyRuggy So if the monster students offered to support Mila in gathering materials in exchange for her making custom gear for them, would Mila accept?
Could the curse have the drain adjusted to a level that is only fatal to goblin larvae and other small parasites?
How long would it take for this treatment to work at least?
Could a bikini with Cold Resistance prevent the wearer from getting cold while being hit by the wind when traveling on horseback?
@Gin_Otamegane
So if the monster students offered to support Mila in gathering materials in exchange for her making custom gear for them, would Mila accept?
Yep. Mila would accept that offer.
Could the curse have the drain adjusted to a level that is only fatal to goblin larvae and other small parasites?
Yes, but if you turn it too low, you'll just feel sick and the larvae/parasites won't die. Sometimes, it's better to turn it up rather high to make sure they're all dead. The cost of hurting a lot outweighs dying via a goblin bursting out a person's body.
How long would it take for this treatment to work at least?
It takes a goblin larvae about 30 days (so a month, basically) to become mature enough to burst from someone's body. The best case would be daily treatment, but you can get away with weekly. However, the more often you do this treatment, the weaker the drain can be. So it's better to get frequent treatment than only doing it once or twice, at which the draining curse will have to be very powerful.
Could a bikini with Cold Resistance prevent the wearer from getting cold while being hit by the wind when traveling on horseback?
Yes, that would work.
@RuggyRuggy So, would Mila accept complicated requests like a lolita dress with tentacle holes hidden among the frills?
Between the daily treatment with poison and with a curse, which one would be more painful for the patient?
Would a Bikini with Cold Resistance also protect the wearer from the cold if she was wet from riding a horse in the rain?
@Gin_Otamegane
So, would Mila accept complicated requests like a lolita dress with tentacle holes hidden among the frills?
Yep. It's kinda funny you say that because Mila does receive something that has holes in it, but it's not quite what you think. A request like this is definitely something she'll fulfill.
Between the daily treatment with poison and with a curse, which one would be more painful for the patient?
Probably the poison. With the curse, you'll feel like crap during it, but you'll eventually recover. The poison will make you feel like you have food poisoning for the entire duration, meaning you'll probably throw up anything you eat, and it'll be hard to keep anything down.
Would a Bikini with Cold Resistance also protect the wearer from the cold if she was wet from riding a horse in the rain?
Yep!
@RuggyRuggy
Yep. It's kinda funny you say that because Mila does receive something that has holes in it, but it's not quite what you think.
Could it be lingerie with factory holes?
This dress is something I envisioned for a girl adept at the two-sword style, but who would surprise her opponents with knives in her tentacles whenever her opponent's weapons were locked by her swords. Could Mila be able to make holes/slits that allow for quick deployment of knife-wielding tentacles, while still being discreet enough that no one can peek inside the dress normally?
I see, the poison would leave more lasting sequels.
Which would be more expensive between the poison and the curse treatment?
@Gin_Otamegane
Could it be lingerie with factory holes?
Not quite. It has something to do with her armor that allows her to use a specific type of transfiguration while fighting.
This dress is something I envisioned for a girl adept at the two-sword style, but who would surprise her opponents with knives in her tentacles whenever her opponent's weapons were locked by her swords. Could Mila be able to make holes/slits that allow for quick deployment of knife-wielding tentacles, while still being discreet enough that no one can peek inside the dress normally?
Something similar also shows up like this. There are slits in her clothes just small enough for something to come out, but it isn't tentacles.
Which would be more expensive between the poison and the curse treatment?
When it comes to the curse, you just need to find someone that knows curse magic, so you're really paying for the time and effort. But for the poison, you don't need Alchemy or Apothecary skills, you just need the ingredients.
So, the curse is more expensive. The poison is cheaper because the materials aren't really that expensive. You still need someone with at least some skill to make the potion, but that isn't that expensive.
@RuggyRuggy So it would be a gateway to biomass to be turned into whatever she wants out of her clothes and armor so as not to damage them or be restrained, right?
Would Mila also accept if one of the girls in the material collection group asked for a plush backpack based on her girlfriend and enchanted with storage?
And what would Mila's reaction be when she heard this request?
@Gin_Otamegane
So it would be a gateway to biomass to be turned into whatever she wants out of her clothes and armor so as not to damage them or be restrained, right?
Yes. For example, if Mila had a small hole in the back of her armor and wore a loose cloak over it, she could transfigure a spider leg to jab out and stab an opponent if they tried to attack from behind. It's a plan to not damage her clothes. Now, one solution to this is {Auto-Repair}, which is an enchantment that repairs whatever it is enchanted to. With that, Mila wouldn't have to worry about damaging her clothes. Another option is when she's wearing clothes spun of her web. She could damage it and fix it right up in just a few seconds.
Would Mila also accept if one of the girls in the material collection group asked for a plush backpack based on her girlfriend and enchanted with storage?
And what would Mila's reaction be when she heard this request?
Yep. She'd accept that. She wouldn't have problems with it because she might like the idea of making plush backpacks. Besides, she could make some and probably sell them. Like, make one of a panda, or one of a cat or a lion. Maybe even a dragon? She could introduce the world to them and make them popular. And you know, Sekh might want one. Same with Irisa and Ichiha. They do own a store, and they might be looking for new products to sell.
@RuggyRuggy That means Mila could magically manipulate her silk threads with great precision, right?
And these magic plush backpacks would be especially popular if their shape was literally a plush doll with straps and a mouth opening that stretches to swallow big things like barrels, since then they could also be used as stuffed toys, right?
I saw a magical bunny backpack like this being used by a vampire in another novel, this vampire couldn't help but hug and play with her like she was a plushie even though she was an adult. They were lovely scenes to behold.
@Gin_Otamegane
That means Mila could magically manipulate her silk threads with great precision, right?
Yep. Though the precision will come in time, but yes. She's soon able to weave and spin web far better than a spider monster or an Arachne (a person with the lowerbody of a spider while the top looks like a human.)
And these magic plush backpacks would be especially popular if their shape was literally a plush doll with straps and a mouth opening that stretches to swallow big things like barrels, since then they could also be used as stuffed toys, right?
Yep. While adding spacial properties like that to something won't be a possibility until much later, but that is possible, and she would do that. Might even make a business out of it.
@RuggyRuggy I see. This has great chances of becoming a successful business.
Adding waterproofing properties and something to keep dirt from sticking would also be impossible until much later in the story?
After all, trying to wash a magic stuffed backpack with space properties would be problematic as water could get into the storage, right?
If Mila made chimera backpacks, could this help improve the opinion of at least children about chimeras?
@Gin_Otamegane
Waterproofing and keeping it clean from dirt isn't end game, but it's more like mid-early. The hardest part is acquiring monster cores with a waterproof skill / acquiring a materials that are waterproof and dirt resistant.
After all, trying to wash a magic stuffed backpack with space properties would be problematic as water could get into the storage, right?
You know, this is kinda funny because in my other story-- the one I'm rewriting-- Servi, the MC, has a ring with infinite storage. She's taking a bath in a lake while practicing with it, and she inadvertently stashes like half of the giant lake into her ring, lowering the water level by a lot before panicking and taking it all back out.
If Mila made chimera backpacks, could this help improve the opinion of at least children about chimeras?
Definitely. Mila's a chimera, and even when/if she can take care of her skin tone issue (Her head, chest, arms, and legs, and crotch are all different skin tones. That's why she has to stay completely covered up.) she's still a chimera at heart. It's going to be revealed / leaked eventually, and she might work to improve the opinion the world over about chimera.
@RuggyRuggy Are the enchantments used to simply expand the interior space of a backpack and enchant with storage different? and with different difficulties?
It reminds me that there was a time when I saw them use the storage skill to empty a swamp to make it easier to catch a water monster.
After all, with the world's current opinion of chimeras even if she were strong enough to deal with all the assassins, stalkers, etc, it would be hard for Mila to have a day of peace and quiet with her lovers, right?
Does [Hermes Trismegistus] also give Mila the knowledge of how to draw illustrations and manga/comics?
If so, publishing comics and graphic novels about chimeras could be even more effective to change the public opinion about chimeras and this would have an even greater impact when the author herself reveals herself to be a chimera, right?
@Gin_Otamegane
Yes, you're going to need enchantments to expand the interior space using a skill called Spacial Expansion, which can come from monsters or spirits that can use space /spacial magic. It's a rare enchantment, and an even rarer skill that has many requirements before you can learn it.
After all, with the world's current opinion of chimeras even if she were strong enough to deal with all the assassins, stalkers, etc, it would be hard for Mila to have a day of peace and quiet with her lovers, right?
Yes, if the world knew she was a chimera, there would be constant attempts on her life, but Mila has a few options to lessen the danger, like waiting until she's strong enough to protect the ones she loves before coming out as a chimera.
Does [Hermes Trismegistus] also give Mila the knowledge of how to draw illustrations and comics?
Yes, but also no. It's hard to explain because there's an aspect of [Hermes Trismegistus] that enables her to learn what she doesn't know, but I can't talk about it because of spoilers. This aspect shows up for the first time in Chapter 35 and becomes central to the story.
If so, publishing comics and graphic novels about chimeras could be even more effective to change the public opinion about chimeras and this would have an even greater impact when the author herself reveals herself to be a chimera, right?
That can definitely work as well. Or Mila can become a children's author and make picture books.
@RuggyRuggy I see. The children's author option is very interesting. Mila could do children's stories about a chimera being adopted by a hermit, witch, etc, or maybe the chimera adopting a person, etc. There are so many possibilities.
@RuggyRuggy What would Mila, Sekh and Tilde's reactions be if during their stay in LDL territory they happened to find LDL having a picnic date on a flowery hill with their lovers and being breastfed in a very cute way by one of their lovers?
@Gin_Otamegane
If that were to happen, then they might leave? Probably wouldn't want to intrude on something so sensual unless Mila and Sekh were fine with being sensual in front of others. Maybe that's the case, and maybe it isn't. We're going to see.
@Gin_Otamegane Yep.But for real, changing the public's perception of chimera is something that's going to happen sooner or later, and a good way to break the hatred of them is to start with educating the children.
@RuggyRuggy Yes, if LDL and her lovers noticed them they would let them leave. But first they try to politely and a little shyly ask them not to gossip about what they saw. How would Mila, Sekh and Tilde react to this request?
So Tilde would be the only one who would be totally fine with meddling in something so sensual, right?
@RuggyRuggy Speaking of hate, what happened to chimeras being so hated? Is this really just fear of their virtually limitless growth potential?
@Gin_Otamegane
How would Mila, Sekh and Tilde react to this request?
They would keep it to themselves. While Mila doesn't mind spreading rumors and gossip if it damages her enemies, if the LDL is her friend and ally, she wouldn't say anything.
So Tilde would be the only one who would be totally fine with meddling in something so sensual, right?
Yes, she's incredibly lewd and salacious. She's pretty much a pervert.
@Gin_Otamegane
That's a mystery of the story that is slowly going to be revealed. But the primary thing is that a chimera is a being capable of infinite growth. There is absolutely no limit to the power they can wield. Oh, and a chimera's power isn't dependent on their level. Chimeras are unique in that they can be stronger than a Lv. 150 Holy Lord at just Lv. 1 because they steal the power of their foes when they assimilate them. And they can really take any form they wish, so unless you had [Detect Chimerism], one could be your neighbor, and you'd never know.
I guess they're hated because of the potential fear / damage one could cause. But not all chimeras are nice, and not all are evil / gluttonous beasts
@RuggyRuggy What would Quella, Elly, Greggie, Keeth and Mary's reaction be if they visited the city of "Loli Dark Lord" saw the city full of lolis and found out that they are all fully fledged adults who asked LDL to lolify them for reasons how to extend their lives, start over with a new identity, heal their crippled body through lolification, abandon their monster form and get a new one more humanoid (or lolinoid in case)?
@RuggyRuggy
They would keep it to themselves. While Mila doesn't mind spreading rumors and gossip if it damages her enemies, if the LDL is her friend and ally, she wouldn't say anything.
Mila wouldn't say anything either if LDL were neutral today, but it has a good chance of becoming an ally in the future, right?
What would Mila, Sekh and Tilde's reaction be if LDL offered them 3 lactation inducing potions as a thank you for their silence and told them they could use these or sell them for some extra coins?
@Gin_Otamegane
They would probably find it quite odd, to be honest. But as long as they were friendly, I don't think they would have that many problems with it. Any reservements or concerns or criticisms they would have would remain silent. The last thing they want to do is be rude to people who don't deserve it.
@Gin_Otamegane
Mila wouldn't say anything either if LDL were neutral today, but it has a good chance of becoming an ally in the future, right?
Yes, she wouldn't say anything if that was a possibility.
What would Mila, Sekh and Tilde's reaction be if LDL offered them 3 lactation inducing potions as a thank you for their silence and told them they could use these or sell them for some extra coins?
Milk play is fun, right? though at that point, Mila could induce it herself, I would think. The potions would be useful for Sekh. Tilde might use them, but she's still a fairy. One that's about 11-ish inches tall. But maybe she could find a use for it.
@RuggyRuggy Would they find LDL weirder than Meruria?
Would Quella, Elly, Greggie, Keeth and Mary think that although very eccentric LDL would most likely make a better and more pleasant boss than Meruria?
@RuggyRuggy Yup. After all, who wouldn't want to sit on their lover's lap to be breastfed, while being given headpats and having their genitals slowly played with her other hand?
@RuggyRuggy In this world are there also fountains with statues pissing? If so, do you have futa statues?
Now that I think about it, in this world how is naked art seen?
@Gin_Otamegane
In this world are there also fountains with statues pissing?
I suppose there could be. Honestly, haven't thought about it that much, but it does make sense for there to be some. Futa variants, as well, I suppose.
How is naked art scene?
I guess the same as it is here? There are models out in the world who are contracted by artists to pose for them. It only makes sense for some of the artwork/sculpting to be nude.
@RuggyRuggy So, it would be normal to have fountains with statues pissing in public squares and parks, right?
What would Mila, Sekh, Tilde, Quella, Elly, Greggie, Keeth and Mary's reactions be if they saw in the city of LDL a fountain with pissing statues of futas of different races in the central square?
PS: You forgot to reply to one of the comments above.
@Gin_Otamegane
Maybe not in public parks, but I can a wealthy person having a fountain like that in their courtyards.
Their reaction? Possibly mixed. Mila's not used to that kind of stuff. And it might be just a little bit crude, but there wouldn't be any major violent reaction or anything.
PS: You forgot to reply to one of the comments above.
Whoops, sorry about that.
Yup. After all, who wouldn't want to sit on their lover's lap to be breastfed, while being given headpats and having their genitals slowly played with her other hand?
That's something that definitely happens a bit later on. It's a good position, and one Mila will come to love and enjoy because of how loved she feels from being in it.
@RuggyRuggy I see. If a public park is a no; how about having the futa statues in a hot spring or public bath?
Glad to hear Mila would like this position. And it could be even better if Sekh took turns with Tilde to play with Mila's genitals while in that position, so that Sekh could have his second hand free to take care of Mila's other areas, right?
Now that I think about it, Sekh still hasn't gotten around to checking out how sensitive Mila's ears can be, right?
Do High Elves have ears as one of their erogenous zones?
Now that I think about it, Mila has some kind of mother complex, right?
They would probably find it quite odd, to be honest. But as long as they were friendly, I don't think they would have that many problems with it. Any reservements or concerns or criticisms they would have would remain silent. The last thing they want to do is be rude to people who don't deserve it.
Would Quella, Elly, Greggie, Keeth and Mary find LDL weirder than Meruria?
Would Quella, Elly, Greggie, Keeth and Mary think that although very eccentric LDL would most likely make a better and more pleasant boss than Meruria?
@Gin_Otamegane
I can see them being in a hotspring or a public bath that caters to futa. It'd fit right in, in that case.
And it could be even better if Sekh took turns with Tilde to play with Mila's genitals while in that position, so that Sekh could have his second hand free to take care of Mila's other areas, right?
Yep. I can see that being better.
Now that I think about it, Sekh still hasn't gotten around to checking out how sensitive Mila's ears can be, right?
I don't think so, but I'm pretty sure there's a scene like that coming in the future.
Do High Elves have ears as one of their erogenous zones?
Yes, it feels good to have them rubbed.
Now that I think about it, Mila has some kind of mother complex, right?
Yep. Internally, she desperately wants a mother, but she's afraid of opening up.
Would Quella, Elly, Greggie, Keeth and Mary find LDL weirder than Meruria?
Would Quella, Elly, Greggie, Keeth and Mary think that although very eccentric LDL would most likely make a better and more pleasant boss than Meruria?
Meruria's been in this world far longer than Team Quella, so maybe? I suppose it depends on their personality and how 'open' they
Would they think the LDL would be a better boss? Most definitely. The LDL would most likely be kind-- far kinder than Meruria, which is all that matters, I guess. Suppose you don't want to work for a boss that can just throw you in the void or banish you to a dungeon hundreds of miles away.
@RuggyRuggy
I can see them being in a hotspring or a public bath that caters to futa. It'd fit right in, in that case.
Would Mila and Sekh be willing to frequent places like this?
I don't think so, but I'm pretty sure there's a scene like that coming in the future.
Yes, it feels good to have them rubbed.
So, I'm looking forward to seeing Mila experiencing what it's like to have her elven ears played with.
Meruria's been in this world far longer than Team Quella, so maybe? I suppose it depends on their personality and how 'open' they
Well at least LDL won't molest anyone in front of them, just to show off. But they would have to get used to seeing LDL often being carried around by their lovers as if it were a child. Would Quella's team be okay with that?

In case they manage to irritate LDL above a certain point, I think that at most she could push them to unpleasant tasks such as cleaning public facilities, exterminating pests, helping with the transport of manure and fertilizer, etc... What would they think of these punishments?
@Gin_Otamegane
Would Mila and Sekh be willing to frequent places like this?
As of now in the story? No, but as of 70% through Arc 3? Yes. I can't explain what happens because of spoilers, but after that point, they would be fine to go to one.
Would Quella's team be okay with that?
Yes, they'll be fine if the LDL was carried around like a child.
What would they think of these punishments?
They'll probably be annoyed, but it's good honest work. If those pests include monsters, then Greggie could cook something delicious up, which he's all for. Elly might complain, I guess. or she might see if she can sing and dance to get out of punishment.
@RuggyRuggy
Yes, they'll be fine if the LDL was carried around like a child.
Quella, Elly, Greggie, Keeth and Mary would also be fine with the rosy atmosphere generated by LDL lovers as they flirt and tease LDL in front of them just to see her blush and yell something like "Not now! People are watching..." ?

I suppose Greggie could cook something with the monsters that attack the fields, but the ones in the sewer would be too gross for that, right?
Elly might complain, I guess. or she might see if she can sing and dance to get out of punishment.
So if I understood correctly Elly would be singing and dancing to buff others and focus only on that to escape the manual work, right?
What would Elly and the rest of Team Quella's reaction be, if upon noticing this, LDL told Elly that if she wants to escape work by focusing on this and without getting complaints from her, do it while using a pacifier and give her an enchanted pacifier not to obstruct the voice?
@Gin_Otamegane

Yep.

Possibly. It depends on the monster. A giant roach? Yeah, he wouldn't cook that. But there are alligators hunting in the sewers? He would cook that up.
So if I understood correctly Elly would be singing and dancing to buff others and focus only on that to escape the manual work, right?
That's an option. She can sing to physically buff her allies. They can work together to get done faster.

Wait, so the LDL would give Elly a pacifier? Hmm... I'm not sure she would like that or do that. Suppose I haven't thought about that that much.
@RuggyRuggy
Yep.
Compared to what Meruria did in front of them, would they consider it a sight for sore eyes?
What would their reaction be to seeing scenes like this? would they blush?
Wait, so the LDL would give Elly a pacifier? Hmm... I'm not sure she would like that or do that. Suppose I haven't thought about that that much.
LDL would only make the pacifier joke if Elly was just singing without helping others with her hands in menial jobs like carrying things, cleaning, etc...
@Gin_Otamegane
Compared to what Meruria did in front of them, would they consider it a sight for sore eyes?
Yep. I guess Elly and Ami would blush a bit. They're the romantic type. Quella might as well. She might compare it to a romance scene from a book she once read.
LDL would only make the pacifier joke if Elly was just singing without helping others with her hands in menial jobs like carrying things, cleaning, etc...
Ah, in that case, then maybe? Elly is an idol, and it stands to reason she once modeled for a website or magazine. As is the case for most idols, perhaps some of those modeling jobs were on the sleazy side. Wouldn't surprise me if she once modeled for an adult series of pacifiers. I mean, those things exist even now.
@RuggyRuggy And what would Mary, Greggie and Keeth's reactions be to seeing this?
It makes sense. Not to mention, which seems like the kind of job that would have little competition and would be perfect for a rookie idol to start accumulating reputation and funds, right?
@Gin_Otamegane
Their reaction? Maybe something a bit subdued. I can still see them blushing a little bit. Perhaps Mary since she has very little experience in romance or anything like that.
Not to mention, which seems like the kind of job that would have little competition and would be perfect for a rookie idol to start accumulating reputation and funds, right?
Yep. But Elly was fairly famous and pretty successful. But this is a new world. The odds are high that they don't know that much about modern pop music. Elly still wants to be an idol, even in this new world, but she has an uphill battle ahead of her. So I guess you could say she's reverted back to being a rookie. But singing songs about chimera might be a way to improve public opinion about them...
@RuggyRuggy What would Team Quella's reaction be if the lil' chimera were present and asked Mary innocently what the kissing gesture meant and why they're blushing?
The odds are high that they don't know that much about modern pop music.
It reminds me that in Death Mage they had to call idol shows a sermon, as it was the closest I had, if my memory serves me right.
@Gin_Otamegane
What would Team Quella's reaction be if the lil' chimera were present and asked Mary innocently what the kissing gesture meant and why they're blushing?
I suppose they would understand just how much Mary was sheltered and how much she wasn't permitted to see or learn. In her creators' eyes, they cared very little about teaching her things that didn't/wouldn't help her in tutoring the future leaders of the world.
@RuggyRuggy I see. And what reaction would Mary give the lil' chimera's questions to make the rest of Team Quella realize that about Mary?
@Gin_Otamegane
Hmm... Perhaps they would talk about kissing, and Mary wouldn't know what that is? Or maybe she doesn't know what a date is? I mean, she would know what 'love' means, as it pertains to its definition, but she wouldn't know how 'love' feels. Like, if she's feeling butterflies in her stomach, she wouldn't know it means she's in love or she likes someone until someone explained it to her.
@RuggyRuggy What would Mary's and the rest of Team Quella's reaction be if upon hearing this LDL said something like "...I never thought I would ever see an adult human who is already a mother even if an adoptive one, needing the common sense lessons and emotional understanding of the curriculum made for monsters."?
@Gin_Otamegane
Hmm... Maybe a bit upsetting? Or perhaps a bit embarrassed that she knows very little in the way of love. Mary's a meek woman. She's doesn't have a lot of courage. I'd probably say she's a doormat. A lot of people in her life have walked over her, including her adoptive family at Club Domme. Sure, they didn't bully her, but Mary didn't know how to say no. And she didn't want to say no and upset her adoptive family.
Like all the other characters, Mary has a lot of growing to do.
