Ch.9 The massacre

If you follow the hallway from kitchen towards the dormitory, you will find a four rooms of former storage space turned into bathhouse. But to put it simply, I had to make it in hurry this morning. I separated baths by gender and even found a little corner where I could make my own personal bath. I washed my body and immerse my body in the hot water.

"Ahh... this is true bliss..." I smiled to myself.

"Oh so this is where you were hiding master," suddenly, Skaly's voice ringed through the room.

"So you're up already?"

"I woke up and when I noticed you're gone, I went to the throne room and the dining hall to look for you. That's when I realized you talked about this place."

"Yeah, I placed some slimes on duty here to keep it clean, maybe I will summon a monster to boss them around... like a area boss... Semi-boss monsters working under Floor boss... sounds nice," I lowered my body so only my head with towel on top of it was visible.

"That definitely sounds nice," Skaly said as she steped into the bath, leaving her towel at doors. 'Hm?'

Skaly sit next to me and rested her head on my shoulder.

"It felt so good I almost couldn't move," she smiled.

"I can imagine that, I felt good too," I rested my head on hers.

"So this is where you've been master!" Yuki sudenly bursed into the room, completly naked, and went stright to the bath.

"Wash you body before entering!" I pointed at shower magic tool that I had to add here after making the bath. Even though the tool wasn't hard to make for a crafter, a specialized skills were needed.

"Okay, okay! I'm going!" Yuki instantly went to the device and thanks to a wooden plate which explained the usage with pictograms she quickly washed her body and jumped in and sit on my left free side.

"Now that I think about it, I never saw Kaen or Haba to go out of their forge except for transporting materials."

"Yeah, they may be True fire spirits now, but they used to be magmins remember? Anything they touches catches on fire. That's why they remain in the forge, they don't want to accidentaly set things on fire here."

"So they are always holding back their powers when they come to us? Isn't there a way to help them?" Skaly asked.

"Well, only thing I can think of is to make them a homunculi body, but that's extreemly difficult."

"Difficult how?" Yuki asked and I could feel her petite hand on my shoulder.

"There are two ways to make a homunculi. First is to grow it from some body part or drop of blood, or hair. Second, much easier way, is to collect bodies and connect them with Malitit stone, which will fuse those bodies into one."

"Let me quess, we don't have that Malitite thingy."

"Well, I have enough to make an entire army, but I don't have the bodies to mix."

"Eh?"

"I recieved it from an assassination job I accepted before coming to the Astenna kingdom and I got the stones as a reward."

"I, I see..."

"Our master is amazing," Skaly snuggled against my shoulder with a happy smile.

After that, I returned to throne room and spotted Kaen and Haba standing there with a metalic dwarf. Well, it would be better to call it tiny golem, but it intriqued me.

"Yo, what'cha got there?"

"Oh, lord Zaru I was just waiting for you," Kaen spoke first and took a knee, followed closely by Haba.

"We have a request for you, our lord," Haba added.

"Sure, what's up?"

"I would like to recieve a permission to summon a minions to the forge."

"Is that why you brought that bronze statue?"

"Yes. I belive you would be able to summon Azer right? They are master craftsman among spirits, but require special body so they wouldn't burn out."

"I see, that's why you brought the statue."

"Yes, I belive that if you summoned a high ranking Azer, we could've him split his flame into smaller flames that would grow over time."

"I see, they would split by themselves... well it's worth a try," I shrugged and took a deep breath, "(Summon: Azer)"

As I chanted the spell, a swirl of red flames appeared in midair and entered the statue through it's lightly opened mouth. The bronze statue light up a little as the spirit settled in it. It's fingers turned yellow as a molten metal and it's eyes were in shade of red. In that moment a fire sprung from it's head, forming it's hairs and little while later a fine trimmed mustache in imperial cut appeared from it's chin. And when all of that was done, the Azer opened it's eyes, which were bright yellow color.

"I've come to your call, oh summoner," the azer bowed.

"Azer, I've summoned you to serve as smith in my dungeon. I will grant you a name after you prove yourself. For now, I will have you serve under Kaen who is now given title of Area Guardian of Forge."

"I thank you deeply, my lord," Kaen boved once again and glowed a little. Currious about it, I used «Identify».

Name: Kaen

Race: True Melting spirit

Class: Area guardian of the Forge

Level: 60

HP: 10,000 MP: 15,230 STR: 10,300 VIT: 9,985 DEX: 10,000 AGI: 5,899 MAG: 7,642 LUCK: 7,688

Skills: <All-metal processing mastery> Smelting mastery, Magic ore procession, Wood working, Cooking, Carving, Fire magic, Wind magic, Earth magic, Workaholic

'How easy is it to gain a unique skill?!'

"Great, you can now return to the forge right?"

"Master one more thing!" Haba suddenly spoke up.

"Sure what is it?"

"I would like to request a class change."

"Really? Well, it's not something I couldn't do, but why?"

"You've successfully summoned Azer which can be great help to the forge, that's why I was thinking of letting my brother handle it while I would become head maid. As I overheard, you have took many elves into the dungeon recently and offered them to work as your maids. If so, it would be beneficial to have them under someone from dungeon who could handle them, if they went of rails."

"A safety check huh? Though I do not think it will be necessary I think a head maid will be needed to ease the workload on Yuki and the Frost kids. I guess you would like a body too?"

"Ah, you have read my mind, my lord," Haba bowed deeply, "I as a spiritual being, long for a body that would suit my tastes while working efficiently. As you can see, a female body would be the best fit as even my original form tends to look that way."

Spirits as they are, are genderless beings, but their higher versions tend to choose one of the genders for physical looks.

If I remember correctly, there is a story about a spirit that fell in love with it's summoner and worked hard in order to attain body that would charm the summoner, making it fall in love with the spirit too, but the spirit worked too hard and when the spirit was finally ready to show the new body to it's summoner, it couldn't return to mortal realm, becouse the summoner was already dead.

"I understand, I will prepare a homunculi body for you... it shouldn't be that hard, we will gain some bodies very soon after all. Well, let's return to what we had planed before this, shall we?" As I smiled I returned to my bedroom, thinking I would crash for the day. But the moment I opened the doors, I saw Filona kneeling before my bed.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for you, my lord. I have a question for you... will you... kill our parents?"

'Suprising question, sure, but not unpredictible one.'

"What if I say I will?"

"I won't stop you"

'Come again? You won't?'

"I mean, they put slave colars on their own kids and were calling us worthless shit, so I would do it if I were you," Filona continued honestly.

'What's wrong with elves form this village? This is fucked up!'

"I see. I'll make it quick, so they won't suffer more then they need."

"Oh, you can enjoy your fill master," Filona smiled for the first time.

"And I'm a demon lord here?" 'Whoops, I let myself slip.'

"Yes, you are, and I'm your servant, so don't worry I will not tell the kids. Now if you excuse me," Filona raised her body and took three quick steps towards me, throwing off her clothes in the process.

What I could see was heavenly shaped body filled with scars and bruises, one of her nipples was cut of, leaving a grotesque scar behind.

"I've mastered all sexual techniques and kinks so please let me make you feel better, you can releave your stress on me however you want," she took my had and placed it on her neck as if I was supposed to choke her.

"Are you sure you want this? Your legs are shaking," I said coldly.

"It'll be alright, I'm used to this..." Filona made a reasuring smile that made me want to puke.

I took out blanket from my magic bag and throw it around her shoulders. "I refuse to take advantage like this. In relationship the feelings must be mutual. So take your things and leave. Kids will worry if you don't come soon," I smiled at her while holding myself back, which was easy thanks to my earlier intercourse with Skaly.

"I, I understand. I shall make you fall for me then," she smiled reassuringly and went out of the room.

'What... the hell... was that? Make me fall for her? Really?'

With complete mental exhaustion, I fell to the bed falling asleep instantly.

The morning came quickly and I felt amazing waking up. But that was when I realized something. Usually, I felt some warmness on either back or front, depending on which side Skaly was sleeping. But this time, I felt warmness on both sides.

My front was occupied by Skaly. Hes sleeping face looked so cute That I involuntarily smiled. The problem was my back. I felt two big jugs on it. Quick deduction told me that becouse everything isn't on fire, it's not Haba and only one who could fit the bed and have breasts this big, is Hestia.

"Um, good morning," Skaly looked up and kissed me.

"Good," I smiled.

"Aw, look how cute you two are," Hestia smiled at us from behind me.

"Shut it you old hag," I spit at her.

"So rude, to think that I raised such a bad kid," Hestia pouted.

"You didn't raise me, just train me and even that was more of a hell then training," I made a dark glare.

"Fufu, to think you would actually pull through that training regime. I'm still proud about that you know?" Hestia carressed my hairs pulling my head in her ample bosom, "If it was for your sister, you would even fought a dragon, after all."

"You have a sister, master?" Skaly asked.

"Well, we are not blood related. She's just from same village as me. You see, when I was little, my home village was destroyed by a basilisk, my parents, sister and all the villagers died back then. Only me and one infant girl survived. I took her to orphanage in royal capital of Mutasa kingdom, where we lived. But, after talking with Father Monday, who was overseeing the orphanage, I decided to stay there too. I was just six years old after all."

"But you managed to survive journey across the nation with an infant on your back, that's certainly commendable," Hestia didn't let me go.

"So how did you two met?"

"Well, there was an accident with the undead rising in the cemetary in our neighbourhood and sisters from our church went to exorcise them, but there was a lesser vampire waiting and attacked them. I was going after them at that time so I made a quick work of it."

"A seven years old kid destroyed a lesser vampire, that was very commendable in my eyes and so after I cleared the source that was commanding the lesser vampire, I stopped by the orphanage and offered Zaru to train him in my craft so he could protect his friends in the orphanage," Hestia added as she released me and left the bed.

"And after that I trained under Hestia for four whole years."

"After that I had to return to my own town so I finished his training and went on my merry way. And... he just went and turned an army of attacking demons into minced meat," Hestia made a funny face, looking sideways at me.

"Well, what do you want? I did what I had to to protect my family," I shrugged as I got dressed and prepared for ceremony for changing classes of Haba.

After lavish breakfast, I summoned everyone of the top brass in the dungeon to the throne room.

Renzir and Traich, the floor guardians were standing closest to the throne, then there was the only Area guardian on the last floor, Kaen. Hestia was standing simetricaly to Kaen behind the floor guardians. Behind them, were the Elves, Sprites, goblins and Frost kids. Yuki, as my secretary was standing to my left and Skaly, who took the title of my personal knight took my right side.

"Alright. Let's start the ceremony. Haba, true fire spirit of Demon lord Zaru's dungeon, what do you offer to the dungeon in exchange for your class change?"

"I offer to the dungeon, my levels and crafting skills, I've gained thus far," Haba lowered her head.

"As your summoner, master and liege, I accept your offer, from today onward, you shall have the class of Head maid!" As I said so, I raised my hand with dungeon core in it and it shone with golden light like when monsters I named evolved.

Haba shone with the light too and when the light subtle, her class was changed.

Name: Haba

Race: True fire spirit

Class: Head maid

Level: 1

HP: 10,150 MP: 10,000 STR: 9,000 DEX: 5,050 VIT: 8,400 AGI: 7,995 MAG: 9,900 LUCK: 5,010

Skills: Fire magic, Wind magic, Workaholik, White magic, Master chef, Cooking mastery, Sewing mastery, Service, Cleaning mastery

'Whoa, what a frightening maid... wait, did she learned white magic to reinforce herself?'

"Ahem, everything worked out perfectly! Everyone can return to their jobs now!"

Now that that was settled, I had to listen to wishes of other denizens.

I returned to my office and get to work.

First I checked the spiders. They were fine with eating raw ore, but some started to prefer processed metals. Those seem to produce finer silk with properities of metals they eat. Kesugi, weaved a cloth made from silk enhanced with bronze few spiders munched on and created some fine boots for walking in the snow.

Additionally, Kesugi finished all clothes for goblins and sprites farming on the second floor and now is taking measurements for the elves.

"Yuki you have a wish too?"

"I would like some ice type monster to help me keep low temperature in the food storage, I'm the only one who can use ice magic so it get's a little tiring."

That's certainly true, I can use only basic four elements, dark element and Demoninc magic, after all.

"I see, that's certainly true... I will summon Ice golem, that should work... Also a Steam elemental to work in the hot spring bath house."

I made a note to summon those monsters at later date, while giving the Ice golem slight priority.

From there I moved to elves... they asked to be put to work as soon as possible... well, let's continue. Traich asks for water type monster that could be used for watering the plants... reasonable, let's summon some Cloud elementals, those are annoying to get rid off, but are great for watering the plants.

Lastly is Gobura, she asks for a monster for transporting of materials from the mines. She herself have item box, but the remaining skeleton miners do not so something for help would be great.

"Monster to be used in mines huh? Only thing I can think of is Bulette though... Well let's summon it and see how it works out in the end."

Just as I was about to close off todays session, I felt the Shadow I summoned in the village appearing in the room.

"What is it?"

"Ghuu, Ghu, Ghuuuuuuu."

"A diary you found? Show it to me."

As I said that a book appeared from the shadows by my desk. As I took it, the hand holding it turned into smoke and disappeared once again.

From the first page I understand that it was belonging to the chief. Just like with me, his village was destroyed, but unlike with me, his was raided by humans.

The humans burned the village to the ground, killing all the elves that were living there. They've kidnaped his mother and he never saw her again.

'Wait, did't I recieved a job to kill elvish woman with that skill some time ago? Nah, can't be, she was too young. Just around two hundread years, the chief is four hundread so she couldn't be his mother.'

Back then, I found out that the woman I was supposed to kill was pregnant. I really didn't want to kill the unborn child so I waited until she started to have contractions. I made it look like she escaped back then and helped her deliver the half-elf baby. Sadly, she decided to take her own life before even looking at the child she gave birth to. Though it was a job, I made it look like she made it behind the city walls and got eaten by wolves after that.

As for the kid, I took it to the orphanage I grew up in and my sister worked there. Now that I think about it, I brought a lot of kids there.

Afterwards, the diary contiued with how the chief managed to escape and lived in High elvish empire, where he found out about how useful his Heroic skill really was. There he formed the plan to increase number of people with the skill by having multiple children, but that didn't worked out, becouse the High elvish empire is have strict monogamy rules, unlike other kingdoms around.

I continued reading the book and realized just how fucked up he really was. First he bought slaves from Mutasa kingdom and Holy empire to the south-east from it and impregnate all of them. When the kids were born, he sold boys who didn't have the skill to orks for a lot of money. He kept the girls and the boys with the skill. Said boys still had only one use, to impregnate more girls, just like their father.

'That mean he had his sons have sex with their sisters and mothers?! How fucked up that guy really is?!'

The book continued with how he send them to scout other elvish settlements and made the local young girls fell in love with them and marry them. Afterwards, they put slave collars on the girls and forcibly brought them back to their village, where the girls became new playthings for everyone in the village, even him.

"If I read any more then this, I may just destroy everything in the village to clense it..."

To keep myself from the suffering, I listed the last pages, where I learned about a hidden room under the village chiefs house, where he was 'training' the girls to be willing to do all his bidding. Currently, there were two girls kidnaped from a village on the northern borders of the High elvish empire with the Gegronia kingdom.

As I rised from my seat, I took a metalic bucket from my Magic bag and after throwing the diary in, I set it on fire.

"Was it... that bad?" Yuki asked me.

She didn't know anything and she doesn't have to.

I hugged her tightly and gave her a light kiss on her forehead.

"I will come late today."

"So you are..."

"It's time for a massacre, I will not hold back a single hit. That village is as good as destroyed."

I walked out of the dungeon and spread my wings. I flew high into the night sky, making sure no one can notice me with Hide presence skill.

I flew over the village and turn it into my Dungeon area. I followed that with silently entering the houses with people who both had the skill and I sliced their throats.

When all the males, except for the chief, were dead, I continued with the females. And when all those who had the skill died too, only few without the skill remained. I collected those and placed them inside one big house.

I followed that by using spell to separate the house from the rest. I was also keeping the women forcibly asleep with another demonic spell.

"(Wake up)"

"Huh? What? Why am I..." the women got confused, but I noticed that all of them had same look as Filona had. Dead look that said, 'kill me please or I will do it myself.'

"Did the village chief..."

I remembered that I'm still hiding my presence, so I canceled the skill.

"DEMON LORD!"

"Were... were our children not enough?! Do you have to torture us more?!"

They started screaming one over the other.

"Calm down ladies," I said with intimidating voice, "Your kids are doing much beter then you right now. I came here, becouse I got to read the chiefs diary and I was so disgused that I decided to kill everyone in this village."

"Then why don't just do it?" one of the woman, that resembled Filona very closely spoke up, "Do you perhaps... want to taste us too?" she raised her skirt showing her bare pussy.

"Um, can you stop please? Not everyone think with their croach here," I turned my head away.

'That was one excellent looking pussy, tho...'

"The reason why I came here is simple. I found from the diary that most of you were brought here from outside. If you wish, I could wipe your memories and send you wherever you want."

To my words, the women started to look from one over the other.

"If I may..." one petite looking woman with cut off ear rised her hand, "I want to be with my son... he's just five years old... and, and!"

"Yes, I understand, you don't want to remember anything else, right?"

"Yes," she nodded.

"Anyone else? Don't be afraid to rise your hand if you wish to reunite with your kids. I will not hold you as prisoners in my dungeon, you will be free to leave any time the mood strikes you. I swear that on my name, of former A rank adventurer and current Demon lord, Zaru."

As I said that, the hands of the women rised up one by one.

"Fine then, I will errase all memories except for your kids. Just to be sure, think of them as hard as you can, okay?"

When I was met with united nod, I activated demonic spell (Forced amnesia).

A pinkish light enveloped their heads and their faces softened. 'If that one that showed me her pussy and made this face before, I may have just jump on her on the spot.'

"Everyone, thank you for following me, I will now show you to your kids. (Mass teleportation)."

When we appeared in the throne room, the mothers instantly went to their children. As I thought, the Filona looking one was really her mother. 'An excellent looking pussy huh? And her daughter wants to seduce me, heheh. That's one hell of a development.'

"I will leave their treatment to you Yuki and Filona. They lost part of their memories so please treat them carefully so they don't remember what they've been through."

"Understood master, are you returning there?"

"I still have one more elf to kill there. Oh, and before I forgot, I will be briging two more women with me afterwards."

I teleported back to the house and walked to the house of the village chief. 'This one murder, in so long... I will enjoy.' I silently entered the house and lit up the candles.

"Oh, village chieeeeef! We have an emergencyyyyyy!" I called out in low voice, while sitting on the footboard.

"Wh, what? AH! The demon lord is here! Help!"

"Sorry to say, but the guys won't hear youuu." I smiled at the chief.

"That's not possible! I'm light sleeper I would hear that!"

"But you didn't riiiiiiiiiiight? That's becouse I made sure you won't! I killed every single person remaining in this village and now I came to deal with, youuu," as I said that, I throw a quick punch into chief's abdomen. He lost his consciousness from it and I took his body and entered the basement's hidden room.

There I found two chained woman of aproximately thirty years in human terms, but they could be over ten times that, due to them being pure blooded elves. Both of them had terribly beaten upper bodies and their legs looked like they were broken and let to heal by themselves. 'Well I can heal most of this with potions.'

They were both pregnant at the time, meaning he deliberately didn't punch them in their stomachs to not hurt the kids inside them. I released them from the chains, making their bodies, that were standing on their knees sit down.

"Hey there, you still with us?" I slightly tapped their cheeks as I was inserting Second grade potions on their mouths.

"Eh! Eheh," they started coughing.

"Feel better?"

"A demon... so this is how we die... good bye sister..."

"Snap out of that!" I flicked their foreheads and pointed at the chief, whose limbs I paralyzed with poison.

"Huh? You won't kill us?"

"I'm not a bad demon lord. I'm actually one of the good ones! Look, I even prepared a gift for you," I pointed at the chief and took out two knives, "You can do whatever you want, I paralyzed his limbs so he can't fight back, but he will feel all the pain, 'kay?"

"All our pain?"

"For what we lost..."

The girls gripped the knives I handed them and crawled to the chief, who just woke up. First they stabbed the knives into his legs, then they cut of his ears and while laughing madly, they were stabbing him until he died of blood loss.

"We did it sister..."

"We really did..."

As the sisters smiled at each other, they rised the knives with a backhand grip.

"Hold it." I stopped them, taking the knives from their hands, "I have better idea. I will make you forget everything that happened here. Not a single memory will remain."

"But... these cursed children..."

"They weren't born yet. Let us decide if they are really cursed when they are."

"We can't return home... and these kids may heve the skill he wanted them to have... heroic skill..."

"Wouldn't it be poetic if they had the skill and served a demon lord, sister?"

The two looked at each other with big grins, then looked at me... and nodded. I used different mind affecting spell then the one from before called (Mind clean). This spell, errased everything. Memories, and even personality. I made them into clean sheets of paper.

After that, I left the chiefs body in the house and teleported with the two girls back to the dungeon.
