Walking through Eldorado's golden streets with Milim is a pleasant experience for Yuki, who is, and this cheerful demon lord seemed to share a sentiment as they continued to walk from one stall to another and enjoy all the delicious food they could find, they also went to many stores that sold clothes and each carried many sets.
Yuki doesn't like Milim walking around with her almost naked and draws too much attention that she persuades him to buy other clothes as well.
Eldorado has five main districts, each of which is called a river, lake, forest, field, and mountain... Leon's large spiral castle reaches all the way to the clouds, located right in the middle of Eldorado.
And right now, Milim and Yuki were sitting on a bench near the square in the forest district that had a huge fountain shaped beautiful woman in the middle and they happily ate ice cream.
"Yuki, can we always be friends?" Milim asked suddenly with a hopeful expression on his face, after all, this was the first time in some age someone had actually treated her like a normal girl and not as a feared demon lord.
"Sure, I don't mind" Yuki replied with a smile causing Milim's eyes to shine even more and she started playing with her feet that couldn't reach the ground happily.
"Great, wahahaha you will never regret this decision" he said with a satisfied expression on his face carrying a smile onto Yuki's face.
"Then Milim, we have to go back now, I have some things to settle with Leon and your followers might be worried if you leave for too long, especially since you disappeared with another demon lord" said Yuki who brought a sad expression to Milim's face as she put on the puppy's face and said, "Can I stay a little longer? Please"
Yuki could not help but laugh a little and was amazed at how a creature whose age could not even be counted by Ashiya was actually so innocent as a child before he patted his head and said gently, "We're friends now, I'll call you for fun again, don't worry"
"Promise?" milim said with a sad face and Yuki nodded at the "promise" - which brought a milim smile to his face as he stood "well then, then, you better prepare another party for our next meeting fufufufu"
"Sure" Yuki said before she suddenly remembered that she had no way to contact him and said, "Do you have anything I can contact?"
"Oh, here it is" Milim said easily before he threw the blood-red pentagon-shaped stone and said, "You can contact me through this at any time"
Yuki nods at him as he keeps the stone and is surprised that it takes quite a lot of mana just to keep it and understands that it must be a treasure!
"Well, I'll see Yuki!" milim said before he jumped into the air and disappeared into the sky causing cracks to spread throughout the square which shocked many Eldorado residents.
"I need to teach this girl how to better control her powers, I can imagine Leon glaring at me for this ruined square from miles away..." yuki muttered before he sighed and returned to the palace as if nothing had happened.
--------
Inside the palace, Leon continued glaring at Yuki without saying anything that made Yuki ask, "Leon-chan can I get my magic core now?"
Leon's face twitched slightly before he said "Yes" before he moved the two of them to a warehouse filled with magic nuclei.
Yuki's eyes instantly lit up as he stared at the pile of magic nuclei stored in a special box with a magic formation covering them so that they maintained their maximum efficiency, and they were separated into different tiers. Low grade, middle grade, high grade, and rare grade.
The lower the value, the higher the quantity Yuki could see in the warehouse and she found it logical but she couldn't help but ask Leon who was standing next to her with a constipated expression on his face, "Leon-chan, what's the difference between each of the values of the magic nucleus?"
"I thought you were a genius in magic'' Leon thought before him arrogantly answering "they differ in purity and amount of magic"
The quick answer was suitable for this demon lord, but Yuki understood the meaning of 'I wonder how much I can push my abilities with this many stones...' he thought as he recalled the requirements to develop the resilience of his basic elements.
Absorbing 10,000 low-level magic nuclei, Yuki knew that this much was acceptable for a low-level magic core, but for a higher level one, he knew he would ask for a lot, he knew he would ask for a lot, that was why he decided to help Leon find another way out to collect magic stones, otherwise the latter would never have agreed to his request... But now, he was finally able to gain absolute defense with an increase in defense against the elements!
'Evolution road!' thought Yuki as his ability was immediately activated and the contents of the box turned into light and absorbed into Yuki's body and immediately the 100 boxes containing 100 magic cores each were emptied instantly!
...[.Congratulations, your ability Basic element resistance has evolved into moderate element resistance]...
...[.Medium element resistance: Gain 40% resistance to all element attacks]...
But Yuki was just starting out as she approached the box that contained a medium quality magic core and began to absorb it next.
...[.Congratulations, the Medium element resistance ability has evolved into an advanced element resistance!]...
As Yuki absorbs box after box, Leon's heart aches even more as he watches his magic stone reserves disappear into thin air 'Damn you Claude, Damn you Alrose, if not for the two of you, then, I won't see my own pouch burning like this' Leon thought with an ugly expression on his face as Yuki approached the high-tier magic stone and started absorbing it as well.
However, this time Yuki had a frown on her face because even after absorbing 10,000 high-level magic nuclei, she did not receive any notice. But his ability, his path of evolution did not absorb the stone anymore, and after checking the reason, he found that he had other requirements that he did not expect.
...[.To develop your [Advanced Element Resistance] abilities, you need 10,000 high-level magic nuclei and 1 elemental essence]...
Yuki was confused, so he could only turn to Leon and ask, "Leon, what is the essence of that element?"
Leon's eyes slightly opened wide at the unexpected question before he said, "Where did you hear that term?"
"Thanks to my ability... Just answer me yes" Yuki and Leon said for a moment before saying "One of my strengths is the ability to summon spirits, including larger spirits, but do you know what the origin of these spirits is? ?"
Yuki shook his head and Leon simply said, "This is the essence of the element you are talking about, after enough magic has gathered on this essence, a spirit will be born, after enough magic has gathered on this essence, a spirit will be born, and this unique item can only be found in the labyrinth of the demon king Ramiris"
"Maze Ramiris huh? it seems like I should visit him" muttered Yuki and Leon immediately said "You should definitely"
Yuki couldn't help but stare at Leon which made Leon cough awkwardly "Oh, now this reminds me, you owe me again right" yuki said with a demonic grin that made Leon's face turn a little pale, but after taking a look at his warehouse. , Yuki did not find enough items to develop his other abilities so he decided to ask for this help at a later time which made Leon sigh in relief.
---------
''Well, I guess I've been extorting this cow to dry, it's time to move out and find another prey - I mean a friend to make...'' thought Yuki before she went looking for Kayle to ask for this world map with a faint smile on her face since she realized not too long ago that it was her second quest that required her to make 10 humans and 10 each monster friend now has a 1/10, 1/10 advance on both which means that both Milim and Leon are recognized as his friends.
Although he was disappointed that Kayle and Sacha were not recognized by the system made him understand that only famous characters would be recognized.
----------
To Yuki's surprise, after asking Kayle for a map of the world, Kayle actually said that Leon ordered her to serve him during his trip along with Sacha which made Yuki smile because she didn't mind having a servant to take care of. daily needs.
Meanwhile, as Yuki happily enjoys her conversation with Sacha and Kayle as they prepare for their trip, in another part of the castle that looks like a prison, the, Leon had an extremely cold expression on his face as he stood in front of none other than his two strongest subordinates. Alrose and the clause were kneeling in front of him.
"I'm disappointed in both of you" Leon said in a cold manner that left both of their backbones tickled, and if it wasn't for the fact that they had been following him for a long time and he knew of their overwhelming loyalty to him, he would have thrown it away immediately.
"I'm sure I've told you both how much I appreciate others being so strong and that we should keep our relationship with him friendly, yet you two go and do the exact opposite of what I command ..."
"But my lord, how can we accept it when he almost destroys our country's economy on a whim" alrose said with righteous indignation completely ignoring the fact that he almost killed Kayle if not for Leon's interference, but Leon did not forget as he scoffed.
"You tried to set a trap for Yuki, yet the two of you continued dancing in her palm from the start so that she could get more benefits from us"
Alrose was surprised when he asked, "What do you mean my master?" but this time it was the silent Claude who spoke with awareness in his eyes.
"So, from the beginning he never apologized for his actions to use loyalty towards us knowing that we would act against your orders just to make him pay the price for his actions ... I see, I wonder why he accepted my challenge so easily and even kept mocking me back to further anger me ... "
"impossible, how could a newborn child into this world think that far?" alrose said in disbelief but Claude only shook his head as Leon looked at him disapprovingly.
"Didn't you understand?" claude said "he could have used magic to save Kayle from your attack, yet he risked letting him die just so he lured our master out so he asked for compensation directly in the presence of all his troops to corner him..."
His consciousness suddenly struck Alrose and he could not help the fear that had arisen in his heart when he recalled Yuki's actions which looked careless but now seemed to have a terrifying intention behind them when he hearing his master say, "Indeed, that fellow is a master at the art of manipulation, but he knows when to advance and when to retreat, but he knows when to step back, and the benefits we derive from it are far more than our losses.and we might be able to earn more if not for your foolish actions!"
Alrose and Claude both knelt down, "Master, please punish us as you see fit, we really let you down"
Leon's cold eyes softened slightly but the punishment was unavoidable.
