Chapter 74 - Vice Head Maid

The power scale I set up is simply me wanting to have fun and doesn't have much relevance to the story. Anyways, this chapter is a volume and will come back for more later.

Anyway, I'll try to quicken the pace a bit and just use Flashback if I want some character screen time.

11:00 Am in the morning

The might of his technique left those watching utterly silent in pure awe of the power displayed by their Monarch. Though it was small and many can cause larger scale attack potency, every single one of them felt that the attack didn't simply breakdown everything in its past but rather completely annihilated them until nothing was left. They knew from their survival instinct that none could survive it unless they have Divinity and reach a higher Rank of power. On the other hand, their Monarch turned and looked at the halberd and felt satisfied that it was able to withstand his power that contains [ Power Cosmic ], [ Stardust Energy ] and his [ Divine Energy ]. Though, he only uses his [ Divine Energy ] afraid that it might be overkill.

The sheer force within his grasp was so insane that he was now confident that none of his enemy could hope to match him anymore and simply wanted to play it slow because it would be too boring to rush things. Meanwhile, Hakurou was outstanded by the performances of his Kaiser seeing how despite how much he trust unable to win against in skills and combat. He has the firepower and skills along with experience in his arsenal that Erix was akin to a Deity.

Cocytus already knew that his lord was an incredible warrior that rivaled if not surpassed by his creator Warrior Takemikazuchi. None of the floor guardians doubt the power of their Supreme Monarch. In the end, if every single one of them including the Eight General and the current Demon Warlords then they would still be outmatched by their sovereign.

"That attack….it wasn't simple art was it?" Benimaru asked the two beautiful Manas. He felt the power was too abnormal to be simple usage of Battlewill and Aura to produce the effect.

"He displayed a small amount of [ Divine Energy ], a Power acquired when someone becomes a Divine creature." Arryn explained having the rules of Tensura completely change due to a mixture of numerous things. To those who reach Living Deity Rank could possibly gain Divinity while higher it goes, their Divine energy increases.

Hearing that Erix was actually someone who reached Godhood and had their respective reaction from Emery and Rubelia who grew to respect him even more. Rimuru felt compelled to improve herself to even stand close to him and Benimaru taking notes on his future foster father.

"Does that mean we can become a god?" Rubelia curiously asks having heard myths about mortals becoming deities but it was almost impossible to reach that status unless you're a True Hero. Only knowing what to become a god is to be born as one or rather something close to it.

"It is possible. Though, you have to first evolve into a Divine state then slowly ascend to higher God hierarchy." Amaia had stored all the information about the ranking system and believed that other powerhouses had this rank.

"Amazing…" This is the only thing that Emery could utter and wondered if it possible to become a deity herself. Back to their Monarch, he stood silently looking at his weapon and suddenly erupted into hysterical laughter that shattered the pocket dimension and returned everyone back to real space.

"Hahahaha, Emery, you made a splendid weapon! At this rate, you'll make Amaia jealous." Erix crane his neck towards the blacksmith girl who blush at the compliment while Amaia simply giggled at this.

"Indeed, you made a fine weapon. But of course it can't beat me. Right, my dear Master." Amaia vanished from her spot and appeared behind her Monarch embracing him. Moments later, Hakurou complimented his master skills and Cocytus filled with pride seeing his master becoming stronger. He realized that there are many things to learn and master.

Emery returns to her workshop even though she was invited to have a meal with him and the same goes for Rubelia who wanted to train some more.

"You two make sure not to push yourself. It is great to be diligent but resting can make you perform better." Erix warned them that made their heart flutter and happy that he was worried. He wasn't trying to flirt and simply said those words to avoid them getting hurt. Even if it's possible to heal them and save them doesn't mean it's fine to make them suffer. Unless they are an enemy or potential enemy then Erix wouldn't hesitate to make them slave away from their task.

"Sure thing, Boss." Both playfully said then giggled seeing Erix smile as they went back while Erix did the same heading towards Nazarick, more specifically at the Kitchen and check up on the Twin.

He had stored the weapon in his inventory and took a stroll in the hallway looking at the beautiful interior that Erix and his friends work so hard in making. The maids saw him immediately went to greet him and only the homunculus were allowed to take care of the Great Tomb of Nazarick as the place is only a place for those Erix trust and didn't want to add more servants from the outside when the homunculus maids can attend it.

"Oh, Lord Erix, what a pleasant surprise." He got inside the kitchen where he found the maids were preparing dishes and saw the twins, Felicia and Alma Timiano helping in cooking. They had skills that were necessary in creating meals and dishes especially in how to prepare native ingredients and learning more ways to prepare a meal with the maids assistants.

"At ease, I'm just here to check up on how you two are?" Erix didn't want to neglect any of them and visit the woman that has potential to have a relationship with him. He does chat with the elves from the Dwargon while taking reports from Slaneesh who was taking care of the kingdom.

As for Jean Grey, the chat group seems to have adjusted the time to ensure that it won't get in the way of their time in their world therefore he believed that time hadn't passed that much in their world.

"Everything was delightful, the other maids were a great help in teaching us new methods on how to prepare and cook the new dishes." Alma said and was happy that she was able to be of use to him. The other maids seem to treat him well even if she isn't a true denizen of Nazarick and are fortunate that Erix removes any superiority from their system. But they still have great pride being a creation of the supreme being.

"The other maids have been a great help and Lady Pestonya has been assisting us when we have problems." Felicia said, giving a bright smile that made both of them appear like housewives having a motherly appeal.

"Hahaha is that so?" Erix nodded seeing how happy they were. He was glad everyone was adjusting nicely to their new environment and pondered if It has to do with his skills that let them feel unified.

"Do you have any preference?" Felicia tried to ask the other maids but none of them knew exactly and no one wanted to ask him.

"Hmmm, I prefer anything meaty like steak paired with a glass of wine." Erix said to make every maid take mental notes and prepare these dishes with care.

"Though, I wish for all of you to surprise me. Meat might be my preferred meal but some variety wouldn't hurt." He was afraid that they might serve only meat knowing how Zealot most of them are.

"We won't disappoint you, My Lord." One of the maids declared burning with passion.

"Well, I won't stay for long but I'm eager to taste the dishes you are all going to prepare for launch." Erix said motivating them including the maids to make the best dishes. The joy of seeing their creator satisfied is the greatest thing to them. He left and went to the dining table when he stumbled upon a maid whose outer appearance is that of a beautiful lady but has the head of a Shetland Sheepdog instead of a human's and a vertical scar on her face running down the center with signs of stitching. She was the Vice-Head maid, Pestonya Shortcake Wanko.

"Greetings, My lord. Is there anything I could do for you woof?" She said, giving a deep bow.

"I'm simply heading to the dining hall." Erix answered.

"Ah, then may I accompany you? I heard Lady Yae Miko is currently helping the people outside of Nazarick woof." Pestonya said.

"Do as you wish." Erix said as the vice head maid followed him Through the hallway leading to the dining hall.

"What do you think of the twin's skills after working a week here?" Erix turned to Pestonya walking behind him. He recommended them believing that their expertise could help the maids and chefs of Nazarick to provide better and delicious meals.

"At first I was skeptical of their qualifications as they are not personally trained by me or Lady Yae Miko but certainly their culinary skills and talent does surprise me woof." Pestonya gave her honest opinion and among the Nazarick Denizen, she retains most of her background as Erix recalled that in the canon she's one of the nicest NPC.

"....Hope you don't mind me asking but why are you in true form?" Erix recalled that she had a human form tailored by him after her creator left. He made every single denizen of Nazarick to have human form to blend more in the other world.

"Ah, forgive me but I merely feel more comfortable in this form. If you wish then I could remain in this form woof." Pestonya transformed into her human form that was black hair that wore a veil hiding her eyes while her dog ears remained.

[ A/N: place your images ]

"...No, I don't mind either form you have. In my eyes, both forms are beautiful." Erix honestly said seeing as he was a grotesque monster himself when taking his true form. He understands that it feels rather uncomfortable when using a different form far from your true form. Erix doesn't bother him that much but understands how it feels. Pestonya seemed to appreciate hearing her master's compliment and smiled.

"Thank you for your kind words, my lord wood. I don't mind staying in this form for now woof." She decided to remain and at least get herself used to her true form. Moments later, they arrived at the dining hall that was beautiful and breathtaking. He sat down while Pestonya poured him some wine and waited for his meal to finish.

Amaia and Arryn appeared and joined him for lunch. After a while, the maids soon arrive pushing a stray of food that they place on the table. Pestonya helped them and opened the tray to reveal a well made dish that can be seen in high class restaurants but didn't make it bite size. The maids left but before Erix thanking them for their hard work that filled them with joy.

Erix and his two Manas indulge in their launch with Pestonya being there to assist them. She seemed content serving them and Erix treated her quite well. It was a known fact that maids do give service to all types including sexual meaning all maids in the Nazarick are mistresses.

Once they were done went into his floor to relax for a moment still joined by Pestonya watching her master experimenting, namely using the [ Seven Phase View ] a genesis Item that can see through virtually anything and display in augmented reality. Erix was looking at other worlds but found most to be too mundane that he ignored them.

Once he was done and went to the bathhouse joined by Amaia, Arryn and Pestonya that escalated into sexual passion. The vice head maid was flustered through it all but was happy to serve his master the best way she could. Erix didn't try to knock her up since she didn't want one at the moment and left to get dressed for his visit to the Kusha mountains.

Erix left Nazarick and met with Shion, Shuna and Yuina where they saw him wearing a formal noble outfit fitting for his status. He was joined by a few more Kijin and Hobgoblins bringing some equipment but only Special Type equipment to show how they have more resources than them.

"Are you three ready?" Erix asked as Yuina and Shuna smiled, wrapping their arms around him while Shion was slightly jealous but performed her duty as secretary. Eventually they got inside the carriage and headed off the Kusha with the citizen waving them goodbye leaving Albedo, Rigurd, and the rest of his servants to defend their holy land.
