Pyro POV.

Phase three was a complete success. And I got richer by 350 platinum coins, got myself a fancy dagger, and now I'm on my way to the stash princess made. Oh yeah and I am now in my 'Shiro' form. You want to know what's in the stash? Sure, it's materials. Gems, demon steel, mithril, orichalcum, blue steel, adamantine, basically all the materials I wished for. Also some armor and weapons.

Anyway I need to get Garrus before heading towards the location. I'm wondering how much did he killed...

…

When I was nearing the location of Garrus I noticed smoke in the distance where he should be. I immediately put two and two together, so I was not that surprised seeing a battlefield without corpses or items.

Pyro: “GARRUS!!! What did I tell you?” Garrus appeared from earth nearby and started his explanation.

Garrus: “Commander. By your orders I hunted the monsters and animals in the vicinity, but then I noticed few humans doing the same, so I, as you ordered, hunted them and stored in the bag. Then I noticed a camp not far from that place and a few humans, so I killed them, storing their bodies afterwards. After that I noticed few more humans, but in a heavier gear, so I started hunting them, when they realized they were hunted, they used some spell similar to my [Dark Flare], only brighter and longer lasting. In a few minutes more humans came, so I hunted them. Now I have stored 1'584 human corpses, 476 rabbits, 34 wolves and 9 bears.” OK... “Also I found a village of goblins and stored all of their corpses inside. There was 5'466 corpses of goblins.” Well they are weak and small, so no surprise here.

Pyro: “Good job! But From now on don't hunt humans until I tell you so, OK? Anyway we are going to the village, but now let's get some new items. Oh right what about items?”

Garrus: “All items are on corpses, while weapons are just stored in the bag.”

Pyro: “Good. Let's go.” I said that as we teleported to the stash. Well the stash was slightly bigger than I imagined.

After I checked everything I made a small list. Not including the weapons and armor.

Gems are for mana storage, they are much better than crystals for this purpose, but don't have any other properties. The highest grade is gold, followed by white, pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red and finally black. Those are regular sized gems I put on list, while smaller sized are around few hundreds of different colors, whatever they are I will combine them, or at least try to.

My Death Knight has a combo of one purple, one blue, three green, three yellow, six orange, twelve red and thirty black. My Dullahan will have one purple, one blue, two green, three yellow, five orange and five red, without black. My Lich will have one gold, two white, two pink, eight purple, three blue, six green, six yellow, six orange, six red and forty black. That's the all the gems I currently have, and it should be quite easy to make the Lich and Dullahan, considering all the corpses Garrus gathered. I decided to spend all the animals on dullahan, and half of goblins and humans, will use 200 kilos of demon steel, 15 of orichalcum, 50 of blue steel and around 20 of mithril. Lich will use rest of corpses, 30 kilos of orichalcum, 20 blue steel and 70 of mithril. And while orichalcum has the same, or nearly the same, density as steel, mithril have about three times the volume for same mass of orichalcum, so Lich will be quite funny dude, probably.

Village is around three days from capital on foot, so I still have around two days more before I should be there. So I started creating my first company. Well second company if you count my not yet trained slaves. Yes they are rather weak, even Bones is stronger than them. I mean them ALL, not one or two. Besides I still need to upgrade Bones and Mr Peanuts. But as I have not completely upgraded Death Knight, I decided to go with him. I just merged a bit more more metals namely 25 kilos of orichalcum, 80 of blue steel and 30 of mithril. Well modifying Garrus was quite easy despite his protests.

Garrus: “NO!!! DON'T!!! COMMANDER DON'T DO IT!!!” but it was futile. Reason for his outburst was quite funny. He was afraid of my facial expression. Though he never had the reason to fear this procedure. It was quite relaxing, well I think it was. Also by the end of it he was panting, so maybe it was rather hard for him? Though panting skeleton is something new.

So next to go was Dullahan. Merging the bones was quite easy, but besides that I needed a muscle tissue, so merging it all together was harder than just merging bones for Garrus. The tissue merging is a pain in the ass. Bones are easier, just put them together and you will know if they are in the right place or not, but muscles? It's not that hard, just too much work. I mean you ever tried to put a puzzle together? Yeah well it's similar to those for 3'000 or more pieces, just imagine it being not regular puzzle, but cleanly cut squares of some nature painting. Not hard, but annoying to figure it out. Only problem is time. I had to waste a day on it! Well good thing I have another one. When I finally made a Dullahan I was slightly... troubled. First it was a girl. I accidentally... well not really, I just don't like looking at nude males, so I made her a girl. Well I made Dullahan a flat-chested knight. And she decided to throw a tantrum. So while she was angry and hiding from me I just ordered Garrus to look for her, while I made the Lich.

So while making a lich I decided to go with Egyptian style, just slightly modified. First of all no stupid masks with those 'Look at me, I'm so Fancy!', 'S&M for dummies' or 'how to make your eyebrows gold'. Instead the overall clothing was similar to those of Egyptians, but the accessories, besides ankh, were not. While Death Knight looked like wraith from second disciples, just with pitch-black armor underneath all those outer black rags. Dullahan was clad in heavy armor similar to the shape of Dark Soul's ciaran, by the way, she's pale skin with silvery hair and eyes. I haven't made those two weapons yet, but from all the stuff I had I gave them few. Garrus had a tower shield and a greatsword, greataxe and a jagged knife, while for Dullahan I had reserved twin swords and a spear. For lich I had a khopesh and enormous glove, that I created for fun. I still needed to make a lich though.

So to the lich. I decided on making a sleek body, due to making it from all those gems and metals, and of course bones, it looked like quite nasty, but at the same time cute. Like some holy paladin in sleek armor with fluttering white cape and saphire linings. Basically the Lich had similar appearance to eldars from Warhammer, but with armored skirt and metal-bone wings. Know the funny thing? This Lich I created is also female. Seems like I created a lich queen by the way.

What the? Dullahan is stronger? Justicar?

Justicar

Class combining the Defender, Warrior, Rogue, Ranger, Mage, Shaman.

OK. So Garrus is weaker, eh? Bianca? Could you explain?

Actually no, he's Death Legion subspecies, which are known to be the best leaders for undead, just as being immortal.

Wait, Garrus is immortal?

It's more like he can't be completely killed. As long as their master live, Death Legion will be revived every time it's killed.

So Garrus is OP.

Just as other two.

What's Oni?

Half-devil, Half-demon.

Anyway, why is he an Oni?

As to the reason for it, I guess it's you who is at fault here.

Meaning?

You fused him with mana gems and metals, then altered their structure to the point of changing his race. Actually you changed all of their races.

I really can change race for creatures?

Not really. Living beings won't survive the transformation.

Don't really understand and don't really care. They're strong, and undead, so they must be loyal. Oh and I need to name the other two two.

So my little minions are not entirely undead. Somehow I think that Mr Peanuts might be something besides skeleton rat. Imagine the demonic rat wreaks chaos and steals the cookies from children. Maybe Bones is a demon? Well doesn't matter, they are my minions, and who am I to judge them? I mean I am homunculus and a vampire.

Lich: “Master, I await your orders.”

Pyro: “And I had such a... nope I had not.”

Lich: “Master?” why does she tilts her head like that? “Is something wrong?” wait... I know where it is going.

Pyro: “From now on your name is Ariel.”

Ariel: “OK.”

Pyro: “Any questions?”

Ariel: “Yes, I sense four more links. Master are there more of my kind?”

Pyro: “Undead? Yes. Liches? Only two of your type, females by the way also two. Well those that are undead. I mean you and Bones are liches, while you and Dullahan are undead females. Oh and all in all there are five of you. Ariel, I mean you, Garrus, unnamed Dullahan, Bones and Mr Peanuts.”

Ariel: “Mr Peanuts?”

Pyro: “Oh yes, he's the mascot of our company.”

Ariel: “OK.”

Pyro: “Can you send through the link order to gather in this cave for Garrus and Dullahan?”

Ariel: “Of course.”

Pyro: “OK, I'll be making final mods for weapons.” and so I moved to make enchants for their weapons.

…

So I finished the weapon enchants, which are rather simple by the way. For all weapons there are [Durability], [Self-Repair] and [Self-Cleaning] enchants, next for the Garrus I had added [Resistances UP] for his shield and for weapons I added [Sharp] and [Penetrating] for each of his weapons. For Dullahan's I made same stuff as for Garrus, just for swords I made [Dark Infusion] which adds darkness damage, while for spear I added [Return] and [Poison (strong+paralysis)], so the spear could return to the wielder and poison the enemies, paralyzing them for some time. For Ariel I besides regular weapon enchants I added [Acid], [Life Sap] and [Mana Sap], while her gauntlet received [Mana Shield], [Mana Claws], [Long Reach] and [Sentient], which resulted in her glove... being able to talk to the host. Somehow today I made only females, which is rather strange... wait I think I got it. I'm still in my Shiro form, let's change back to my normal body. And by the luck of it, just as I changed Ariel came to get me.

Ariel: “Master I...”

Pyro: “Yes Ariel?”

Ariel: “Master is a man?” and she threw herself at me. “MASTER!!!”

Pyro: “Ariel stop. What do you want?” she has a ragged breathing. Don't you go Albedo on me!

Ariel: “Master Garrus and Dullahan returned, please follow me.” And she walked in front of me while shaking her hips, however she has armored skirt, so it's not that efficient.

Pyro: “Ariel if you want you can get laid with some humans when we meet them.”

Ariel: “I will butcher any of them if they dare to look at me with lecherous eyes.”

Pyro: “Don't kill them, just crush them if you so want.”

Ariel: “As my master commands.” and we came to the rest of our squad, or more like my minions.

Garrus: “Commander we came back as you requested.” so Garrus is still acts like before, but Dullahan is fidgeting.

Pyro: “Hey little dullahan, do you fear me?”

Dullahan: “...” ok no answer. “Master... is not a girl?”

Pyro: “No, I'm not a human either, so you can relax.”

Dullahan: “No, master... master is... master is...”

Pyro: “Man? Male? Moron?”

Dullahan: “YES! Eh, no! eh... I mean... duh...” she's nervous.

Pyro: “Just joking. Say why did you storm off?”

Dullahan: “Um... I... I WAS NERVOUS!!!” why do I want to squeeze her? And why does her head is still on her shoulders?

Pyro: “Why do you keep your head on shoulders?”

Dullahan: “Um... master is keeping it there... G... Garrus is keeping it there... Sister is keeping it there... I should too.”

Pyro: “Only if you are comfortable.”

Dullahan: “YES! I mean no, I'm not comfortable... can I-”

Pyro: “Let your head be where it's comfortable.” and her head flew off, only to be landed in her hands. And she hugged her head.

Dullahan: “Thank you master...”

Pyro: “OK. So I will name you Silvia.”

Silvia: “Um... thank... you...” adorable... she's around 170 cm with her head on her shoulders and now she's around 155 cm, which makes her even more cute... wait what? What the hell am I thinking?

Garrus: “Commander we are waiting for new orders.”

Pyro: “Right... so here are your new weapons. Silvia you get the twin swords and a spear, Garrus you get a shield, greatsword, greataxe and dagger, Ariel you get a glove and khopesh.”

All: “YES!” and they took their respective weapons. Did I mention that those are made of mix between blue steel, demonite and mithril? By the way glove was made from pure mithril, while her khopesh is orichalcum and mithril, spear of Silvia is demonite and mithril, while Garrus's knife is pure adamantine. I melted down all of that useless armor and weapons and got around 50 kilos of blue steel, 20 mithril, 100 demon steel, 11 orichalcum, and around 5 of adamantine. All were mixed in some way or another, so I also got a ton (or several) of other metals.

Pyro: “We have a contract to fulfill, so get yourself ready. I need to know your fighting style. And no, no sparring today Garrus. ”

Garrus: “Commander... WHY?!” note to self, Garrus loves to fight.
