___________________________________________________________________________
It’s the month of the mission, and we’re in the middle of the monster taming process… and my mission is…
MISSION:
Survive: Your awakened ability is taken away from you for 24 hours. And your other abilities are weakened.
REWARDS: ???
“Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck!” (Vincent)
I shouted, causing my allies to be alarmed.
“What’s wrong master?” (Alucard)
One of the former-slaves, a vampire, and tamer, named Alucard asked.
“I-I don’t have my awakened ability for… 24 hours… fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” (Vincent)
I panicked.
“It’s alright sir, it’s just your awakened ability, right?” (Alucard)
Alucard asked.
“Y-yeah… wait, that means my other abilities are still there!” (Vincent)
I shouted.
“Exactly! So, we can still tame the monsters out there without too much trouble” (Alucard)
Alucard said.
[“Yeah, Vincent. Don’t panic”] (Warren)
Warren said as he appeared out of nowhere.
“Gah! Warren! Stop phasing through walls!” (Vincent)
I shouted.
Oh, that’s right, Warren has a new ability called “Phase” it allows him to go through anything.
[“Sorry Vincent, but it’s so fun! Ha ha!”] (Warren)
Warren laughed while smiling.
“So, sir. Let’s get back to taming” (Alucard)
Alucard said with a grin.
“Right… I forgot to mention, my abilities are going to be weakened too...” (Vincent)
I said.
“O-oh, well… it can’t be too bad, right Warren?” (Alucard)
Alucard asked.
[“Y-yeah, it can’t be too bad”] (Warren)
Warren said hesitantly.
“You’re right… It can’t be that bad” (Vincent)
I said with a smile.
We spent around… five hours taming monsters and turning the stronger ones into shadow-slaves. These are the ones we tamed:
18291: Goblins
2983: Hobgoblins
182: Ogres
18: Oni
8214: Horned Rabbit’s
7892: Slimes
2832: Horned wolves
7382: Werebears
2812: Squidmen
3829: Sharkmen
3821: Molemen
281: Fishmen
2: Cyclops’
38245: Kobolds
218213: Gigantic spiders

483943: Scorpio’s
3923: Horned Tigers
32: Humans (Left-over soldiers from the attack)
10434: Elemental slimes (Water, Fire, Air, Earth, Light, Dark, Lightning)
28: Beastmen (Left-over soldiers from the attack)
3: Dark Elves (Left-over soldiers from the attack)
1: Dwarf (Left-over soldier from the attack)
And, that’s about it…
So, in all… 768922… holy shit, that’s a… that’s an army (AN: Yes, that’s the actual calculation… took me five minutes and a calculator to get that…)
“So, let’s go back to camp” (Vincent)
I said as we headed back to camp.
“Welcome back, m’lord” (Dark elf)
A dark elf greeted me, alongside several other slaves.
“Where are you guys going?” (Vincent)
I asked.
“Oh, m’lord. We’re going to be hunting… we’re bringing a few of the younglings along, is that alright with you?” (Dark elf)
The dark elf asked.
“Sure, but… take Vaughn with you. He’s talented… if he’d stop being so obsessed with guns… please, teach him how to fight with a sword… he’s a prodigy” (Vincent)
I said with a smile.
The dark elf simply nodded and told the dwarf next to him to grab Vaughn and the other young ones.
“We’ll be off in a moment, m’lord” (Dark elf)
The dark elf said with a grin.
“Okay… just, make sure to protect the children… if even one of them doesn’t come back… I. Will. Know… and the consequences won’t be… pretty” (Vincent)
I said in as much of an intimidating tone as I physically could… which was actually pretty intimidating.
“Y-yes, m’lord!” (Dark elf)
The dark elf said as he and his allies, along with the children went off into the woods.
I think I heard Vaughn say “Bye lord Vincent!” But, that was probably my imagination.
…
I began to think about the earth, and how much I miss it. And I thought something…
‘Why don’t I just go back to earth… I could leave Grenov here to train the others… but, I can’t wish myself there… I could teleport… but, I feel like I could only take four people with me… without limitations to the distance… and I already know that I’m taking Warren… but, who else am I going to take?’ (Thoughts)
I thought, as I walked up to Grenov and told him all about my plan. At first, he was hesitant and asked me to stay. Until I came up with an on the spot excuse of wanting to conquer earth, then he complied. Saying:
“Well, if the Lord wants to conquer something… why get in his way… we could use the reinforcements here… and, with the superior technology, we could easily take over Harus as well… go on then, my lord. Choose who to take with you, and I’ll make the announcement” (Grenov)
He said cheerfully.
‘Now… who should I choose to take… I already know that Warren’s coming, his ability could be extremely useful… now, who else do I choose?’ (Thoughts)
---The end---
