More New Skills

Lava bursts out from below spewing out like a volcano. I manipulated it away from touching anything but that was easier said than done.

When I used [Magma Secretion] with [Magma Control], it felt like kicking or punching in a pool but this is like kicking or punching in a pool with 1 ton on each limb.

If it wasn't for my new status my entire castle would have been melted by lava due to me being unable to control it.

As I manipulate it into a ball I try to push it back into the ground where the lava continues to spew out. I felt the veins on my forehead pop out as I've never done such a strength-focused task ever, no matter it is this life or my past life.

The lava that rushed out of the hole didn't help as it continued to try and escape out of the hole I had created. Seeing that this wasn't working, I tried to replicate a move that I had with [Fires Will]. Activating [Concentration], I feel my breathing slow, as the noises around me start to muffle.

Losing touch with everything besides all of the lava around me, I teleport the lava right back into the ground. As I did this the lava-spewing suddenly calmed down as it sunk back down into the earth.

Deactivating [Concentration] I wiped a droplet of sweat off my forehead and decided to save this for emergencies only since teleporting all of the lava that erupted from the ground sapped almost all of my energy.

Looking at my status I see my remaining skill which is an assimilation of all my presence skills. I was worried about how it would affect the surrounding spectators so I also decided to save this for later when I'm in an actual battle.

Slightly tired, I decided to get some dinner before I went to sleep since the sun had already set.

Walking through the exit of the training room were Sophia, Kumo, and Homura. Sophia had a disappointed look on her face, but it wasn't at me but herself. I knew I needed to cheer her up since from what I saw, she's been working hard.

"It's alright, I just evolved which sent my stats through the roof. If it was my previous evolution I would have had a much harder time, especially with the whips. I look forward to your progress," I say before leaving with Kumo and Homura towards the throne room.

Sophia didn't reply but just smiled in anticipation for her next training session which will include her new mastery.

Leaving I smiled and wondered if I should make her one of my wives if she gets stronger. She is very beautiful and the white dress that all the maids wear equalizes the beauty since it doesn't contrast well with her skin.

Oh, talking about wives -er thinking about wives I should probably bring Homura to Aisos blacksmith tomorrow. Not only should my scythe be finished but her ring should be done as well.

Soon I snapped out of my thoughts as we arrived at the throne room. Aika was already sitting down, eating dinner without us. I also noticed that she was sweating, which I instantly knew what she had been doing.

"You've been practicing with the sword haven't you?"

"Maybe~," Aika says.

"You should have taken a bath before I noticed that you were using the excuse of shopping to practice in secret," I say before smirking.

"Why would you even do that?" I ask.

"I don't like having the reassurance that you will save me whenever I'm in trouble. Even in the war, I had little Yin watching over me. I will never improve if I never feel the pressure of a real fight that could potentially kill me," Aika explains.

"...*sigh* fine-,"

"MASTER!" I hear a voice that cuts me off in the distance.

...

Looking over, I see Yin running towards me with the same clothes as when I made her into a pet. As she lunged towards me I dodged her and proceeded to sit down next to Aika with my other wives sitting down as well.

"Master, why won't you greet me," Yin says hunched on the floor.

"I'm eating right now, so find Lucy and ask her for a room," I say.

"Okay…" Yin says walking away, head tilted down.

As Yin left, moments later the other maids brought out some food for the rest of us. It was delicious as usual and I and my wives all conversed about our day.

I told my wives how I can not only get skills from monster flesh but also from item enchants. They were all jealous while I also told Aika about my time testing out my new skills. Homura and Kumo who were there attested to it and gave their opinions.

"It's all pretty powerful and Arpious is even able to see mana now. Even though it doesn't do much, if you can see it that means your senses are at an extremely high level," Homura says while Kumo just nodded confirming with her.

"Not that surprising… Oh yeah, babe, you should see Akito, he evolved last night," Aika says.

"Really! I guess I'll check it out tomorrow with Homura tomorrow since Aiso should be done with the ring… wait did you just call me babe?" I ask.

"Can I not? I heard some couples in town calling each other that… not like I'll stop calling you that," Aika says with a smirk.

"Well I don't mind, if you guys want to call me a nickname or something you can just call me it as long as it's something acceptable," I say turning towards Homura and Kumo.

"I think I'll stick with Arpious," Kumo says.

"Same," Homura says while nodding her head.

As we finished up our dinner we decided to take a bath since the 2 of us were sweating. As we entered the bath, I gave Aika a massage who was sore from practice. I suggested that I could heal her right up with [Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei] but she refused.

"I want to feel the soreness since it shows me that I'm improving. If I don't wake up tomorrow incapable of moving then I did something wrong today," Aika says.

"If you woke up tomorrow incapable of moving I WILL heal you with [Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei]," I said.

We all laughed and chatted some more before exiting the bath. Some maids were in the changing room already so they helped us change into our specially prepared nightgowns.

Walking towards our room I told them about my new skill which was called [The Art of Sex: 3]. Kumo and Homura were confused as to why I had this but Aika had a very lustful and excited face, clearly showing her intentions.

Before we crawled into bed I activated the skill which made my body pump more blood and I felt invigorated. The air around me gave off a sexy vibe that seduced all of my wives especially Aika who was practically drooling.

As I walked towards the bed my hips swayed seducing my wives even more.

When I sat down I could feel my body became much more flexible but leagues above the original [Contortion] skill I had.

As we all enjoyed the night together I was able to keep up with all of them since it seems the [Strong Libido] skill became stronger when I assimilated it. Even when they pinned me down, I could've used my new stats to resist but I also realized my skin had become super sensitive to the touch. One stroke on my belly was almost enough to send me over the edge.

The night went on longer as my wives also requested for me to activate my tail. I complied and activated [Incinerating Tail of the Cursed and Blessed Lamassu].

I was slightly worried that the flame on the end of my tail would burn my room or potentially hurt my wives until my wives actually started to touch it. They described it as warm and they were even able to put their entire hand through it.

It was hard to make an assumption due to my state but I decided that it reacts to enemies or comrades.

They played around with my tail like I was a cat by petting and stroking it. With [The Art of Sex: 3] it was much more sensitive so I couldn't help but squirm in the bed with the tail in between my legs.

My wives saw this reaction and continued to tease me through the night.
