[Day 136]

Today, after several days of being pregnant, the first Yuki-onna gave birth, and even strangest things occurred due to this.

​​

First of all, after successfully giving birth to two children, the Yuki-onna was granted a Title of [Goblin Mother] and a class, which in result gave her new strength and made her form a soul and a mind of her own, she has gained more independence too.

Because she gained all of this as she gave birth, she became a natural mother and instantly wanted to protect and raise her children, which is beneficial for us. If more Yuki-onna's gains a soul like this, we could even make an army out of them too if they get strong enough due to this.

However, Yuki-onna children were way more impressive.

This Yuki-onna was impregnated by a Goblin and gave birth to two healthy babies. They weren't exactly Goblins, but what was called Snow Children, a lower-ranked being from the Yuki-onna evolution tree. Only one is a "pure" Snow Children and the other has pointed ears and some goblin features like rougher skin and being completely bald. The Snow Children one resembled a human baby but had extremely pale skin, almost translucent alongside long silver hair and blue eyes.

These children are different than just summoned beings and possess a strong and natural soul alongside a powerful mind. Thanks to being half Goblin, they will also grow incredibly fast.

These children will grow as fast as a Goblin or Troll but have even more strength and battle potential, greatly enhancing their capabilities.

Aside from this, some wolves give birth once again, alongside Monkeys. Although their numbers were far less than before, they only reaching twenty each. Nonetheless, they are precious soldiers.

In the war, around fifty wolves were lost, so quickly refilling these empty spaces is essential. Due to the strength of the wolves that survived, they were able to pass on their strength to their children, so each generation is born stronger and stronger, inheriting the power of both parents. If it wasn't for evolution, the older wolves would never be able to catch up with the newer generations, who don't even look like the original Crimson Wolves or Ice Wolves.

Just as I promised to my servants, today will the long-awaited tournament. With the help of the Rin Sisters, I've set the participants and who would fight each other. Although they can go almost all out, I will regulate this so they don't end up killing each other by mistake. Rimuru and Brontes won't participate as the children inside their bellies have recently grown bigger.

The participants are my "strongest" servants and wives, my children were also excluded from this.

The fights were done on a big open space in the middle of the Grand Forest, which I previously cleaned and dug and flattened into a coliseum-like battlefield, resembling a big circular hole where the people can see the fights over fifty meters high on a safe zone.

I would be the "final boss" and whoever ends up beating everyone else will have the privilege of fighting me at the end. Well, it's not like they cannot do it on training grounds, but this is "different" and seems more official. I suppose they expect me to be serious and go all out.

The fights were as follows;

1) Nesiphae vs Ganjo

2) Zehe vs Celica

3) Truhan vs Jorogumo

4) Palami (Half-Paladin Lord) vs Charlotte

6) Asure (Half-Quake Lord) vs Raito (Half-Thunderstorm Lord)

7) Lilith vs Kizuato

8) Kekensha vs Evan

9) Wagyu vs Nephiana (Harpy Girl)

10) Erathe (Hellhound) vs Makesia (Amazon Woman)

Most of the fragile mages were not included as their power is independent of their body's strength like Kaguya, and this was more of a powerhouse battle of mostly physical or mixed fighters. Altani, Gaby, Adelle, and Mady didn't participate. Mady wasn't really interested in fighting and neither Altani, Gaby, and Adelle wanted to evolve before trying their strength against the rest.

The first fight of Nesiphae versus Ganjo was as devastating as I predicted. Nesiphae incredible power and blows with her [Legendary] weapon were incredibly overwhelming. Thankfully, Ganjo was as big as her so he was able to tank the hits without taking fatal damage.

Ganjo's super-hardened rock skin was impressively sturdy, being able to tank Nesiphae's flaming poison attacks without much trouble. The giant Lizardman attacked manipulation of the floor, creating powerful walls of rock or giant lances. He was also able to summon his weapons made of an almost unbreakable stone, which he wielded with immense power.

The two clashed for hours on a very intense battle that made all the spectators almost detach their own eyes from the amusement. However, in the end, Nesiphae showed her clear superiority after showcasing her real skills and enhancing her body with several boosting abilities, becoming a titan and overwhelming Ganjo, who is known for his impressive defenses, with her pure attack power. Although his rocky skin was never shattered, he still suffered internal damage and was knocked out after failing to block a direct hit on his head.

Zehe versus Celica was a very impressive fight too. Both women who used to be Trolls and that had a high affinity with Dark and Shadow Magic complemented each other quite well on the battlefield, however as they fought each other, they showcased new abilities and spells.

Although Zehe is a witch, her body is not weak or frail at all, easily being able to tank direct hits if necessary. And even more, she can enhance her capabilities and endurance with her magic, creating a sturdy and flexible coat of shadows. Celica on the other hand, can run and move at amazing speeds while using her strength and [Legendary] weapons to deal with massive damage or even poison. She also has some Night Magic, but it is not as skillful as Zehe in this regard.

The battle ended abruptly when Celica surprised Zehe with a sneak attack on her back, while Zehe was overwhelming Celica with a shower of Shadow Meteors. When Celica appeared behind Zehe, she immediately released a crimson and dark barrage onslaught of attacks, which Zehe wasn't able to take from her back.

However, the moment she was attacked, Zehe's body turned into shadows. As these shadows moved on the air, Zehe reappeared again elsewhere, without any injuries. I never knew that Zehe was able to do such a thing, this as probably a new spell. Surprising Celica, Zehe quickly finished the fight by binding Celica's whole body while pressuring her against the floor with a powerful Gravity force.

Truhan versus Jorogumo was another fight of crazy proportions. Both fighters being already known for their berserk tendencies and blazing affinities. Their blows were strong and devastating, creating countless catastrophes throughout the entire battlefield. Their blazing blows were so hot that even the floor began to melt as they fought over a giant pool of hot lava.

If it was a battle with the unevolved Truhan, Jorogumo may have a chance on winning, however, due to Truhan's recent evolution, his strength skyrocketed and he has become an overwhelming behemoth that cannot be stopped. Even with Jorogumo's own strength and powerful psyche, she was ultimately defeated by the endless blows of Truhan, who's eyes turned red and released a fiery blaze, celebrating his victory.

After converted the lava on the battlefield into rocks with water, the fights continued as scheduled.

Palami versus Charlotte was a very interesting battle, as the two had almost the same strength, they had to fight using tactics and strategies, alongside every tool at their disposal.

Palami was very skillful and fast, alongside her sturdy and light Paladin [Organic Armor] and her long and shiny Paladin [Organic Blade], she moved through the battlefield at amazing speeds while shooting rays of light everywhere, without leaving much time for Charlotte to think on ways to counter her moves. Her strokes were strong and precise, and so were her slashes as she danced like a Joust Maiden.

Meanwhile, Charlotte used every time they were distanced to use her Magic Bow to shoot powerful Wind Arrows that were enhanced with Alchemy Techniques, covering them on flammable oil and reacting to Palami's light rays, exploding near her multiple times.

As Palami saw the threat of such arrows, she went more close combat against Charlotte, enhancing her Paladin Organic Blade with several coatings of Light and slashing them near Charlotte.

My wife used this opportunity to use her Enhanced Gunblade, which I made for her, and that has gone through various upgrades done by her with the help of Kusuri and Kajiya. Now it was enhanced with different chemicals that we're able to create devastating magic explosions or chemical reactions. She was able to throw freezing spikes or even shake the earth for a moment, things that she didn't even have skills for.

However, Palami had more experience in battles as she had been always fighting since she was one year old, due to being born as a Lesser Lord Oni and growing fast like most Demi-Humans. While Charlotte although she had more years than Palami, was a human who grows slow and learns slow, and just recently has been awakening her potential with my help.

Due to these factors, Charlotte lost at the end, however, Palami was also on the verge of losing if it wasn't because she managed to incapacitate Charlotte's leg, which made her surrender.

After healing Charlotte's leg and congratulating her for such an amazing battle, the fights continued.

Asure versus Raito was also an interesting battle, but due to the two demon's rashness, it was very chaotic too.

Asure had amazing endurance and resilience, being able to tank almost any hits with his own skin, which was brown colored and was as hard as stone. His weapon of choice would usually be a giant hammer which was an [Organic Weapon] generated from the Orb on his left arm. He can summon boulders and create earthquakes and was also able to shape the battlefield, overwhelming Raito, and cutting off his routes of attacks.

Raito tried his best to counterattack Asure attacks with his own slashes of thunderbolts. Although he lacks practice and only spammed skills before, he has grown more skillful due to our training. Raito was now able to infuse his body with a powerful lighting coating that can increase his speed and defenses, alongside this, he possesses a long yellow colored blade that is an [Organic Weapon], which he used to slash at Asure whenever he saw an opening.

The battle was very chaotic as the two stubborn demons didn't want to give up. However, in the end, Asure ended up winning as he had the upper hand defense wise, while also being able to manipulate his surroundings. He stalled and bombarded Raito until the Thunder Demon ran out of Stamina and became exhausted, where Asure knocked him out with a blow on his head.

Raito has a very hard head so he didn't suffer any serious damage.

Lilith versus Kizuato was another amazing battle. The fight between the two was very dynamic and flashy.

Lilith used her new strength to shape the battlefield and create earthquakes while running at amazing speeds while attacking Kizuato with her two heavy weapons. Her strength and aura were not human at all, resembling some kind of ferocious demon or wolf. She specialized in creating sinkholes for Kizuato to fall in and lose time while she prepared her next moves. Her tactics were quite sharp and somewhat overwhelming.

Kizuato, on the other hand, used his sword mastery to his fullest, demonstrating a genius Blade Energy manipulation and skillfulness. With his new evolution, he has gained new strength and power, being able to rush through the battle with amazing speed while throwing slashes and attacks of Blade Energy everywhere. He was able to rush an onslaught of consecutive techniques that rivaled even the Human's Arts.

Their fight was quite long but ended on Kizuato's victory due to Lilith's rashness and lack of battle experience. She has overwhelming strength but not the mastery to use it well enough.

As this fight came to an end, it was already night, so we decided to move the rest of the tournament for tomorrow.

It was a very entertaining show and I am looking forward to the winner that will have the privilege to fight me without me holding back. Although I will still hold back, without them noticing as much.
