"Come here, little buddy." Benimaru signaled that particular meatscraper to come before him.
The meatscraper was a bit scared but eventually picked up its courage and walked toward Benimaru.
"Oh, also being that piece of meat of yours." Benimaru reminded the meatscraper about its meat, which he wanted to use it on the Raum.
The meatscraper quickly picked up its piece of meat despite hesitating at first. It brought the meat to Benimaru and presented it to him.
Benimaru said it with a smile. "Ragnar, shove this in the Raum's mouth."
Ragnar nodded his head and quickly followed Benimaru's action, forcing that meat into the Raum's mouth.
Just as the meat got into its stomach, the Raum's eyes shot open, and the injuries on its body also started to heal. It looked around in panic, but the next second it relaxed when its eyes laid upon Benimaru. It walked before him respectively and bowed down on its knees.
"Good." Benimaru became satisfied, as he was a little worried at first if it would work, but it looks to him like it worked very well. He couldn't blame himself for being worried, as he was very cautious about everything.
Then Benimaru ordered with a commanding tone. "From now on, you will be called Lagnir, and you will be in charge of these meatscrapers."
Lagnir didn't say anything, just stayed silent, which Benimaru took as a "yes," as it wasn't able to speak properly.
"But, not this one." Benimaru shifted his focus to the meatscraper below him. "I have things to do with it."
Lagnir gave a short glance at the meatscraper, then quickly retracted it back.
"Now, you may leave." Benimaru said, turning his body around. Then he added, referring to the meatscraper. "You follow me."
The meatscraper followed behind Benimaru, cowering a little. Meanwhile, Ragnar quickly got in charge of Lagnir and the meatscrapers, which were now out of Benimaru's spell.
…
In the house.
Benimaru was sitting on the chair while looking down at the meatscraper. "Can you tell me how you were able to escape from my spell?"
"Arg..arggg…grkkkss..graaa…" The meatscraper immediately started trying its hardest to explain itself, as if wanting to justify some wrongdoing it had done.
"Okay, it looks like it won't go anywhere." Benimaru rubbed his forehead as he was having a headache about what to do.
Should he try to take this guy as his general and make it speak after that? Or wait and see after its natural growth?
Eventually, Benimaru firmed up his mind and made his decision.
He stood up and said this while looking down at the meatscraper. "Life is all about gambling. So, let me gamble on you."
"So, do not disappoint me." He made a small opening on his index finger and rested it on top of its head. "Open your mouth and receive my blessing. My new general!"
The meatscraper didn't know why but felt that it got entranced and decided to do anything Benimaru said. Just as it opened its mouth, a drop of Benimaru's blood essence dropped, melting into its tongue.
The moment that essence entered its body fully, a reaction occurred. The meatscraper body started to metamorphose, transforming into a totally new appearance.
'I guess, there is a low chance of demons failing to change after receiving my condensed blood essence.' Benimaru thought as he watched the changes happening in the meatscraper's body, which had grown taller now, close to a teenager.
But when it reached the final stage, Benimaru's eyes widened in shock as he saw the meatscraper feminine traits.
No! It was a female, as breasts and a birth canal appeared on her body.
This took Benimaru by surprise, as he didn't expect this one to be a girl. The reason was because there was hardly anything that could help Benimaru identify a low-level demon's gender properly.
The girl below him, with a pained expression on her face, opened her eyes. She got up and looked at her body, touching every part, admiring and getting amazed.
"This..This..is…me?" The girl spoke up, while stuttering.
At that moment, she heard Benimaru's voice. "Here, wear these. These are Ravenna's; I am sure she wouldn't mind you wearing them."
Benimaru tossed the woman's clothes into the girl's embrace while averting his eyes. The girl got confused seeing them, not knowing how to even start. It was not like a man's where, with one action, you could wear them instantly.
"Ahhh~' Benimaru gave a helpless sigh, seeing the girl being a bit lost. He knew she might destroy the clothes if he didn't do anything. So, he walked forward while saying to himself. "I wish Ravenna was here. But whatever, I will do it."
A couple of minutes went by and in that span of time Benimaru was able to help her wear it and even teach her how to wear it properly.
Benimaru couldn't help but say. 'She looks beautiful.'
He wasn't just exaggerating when he said that, as she indeed looked beautiful. She had long blond hair, a slim figure, a face that was innocent yet sharp, and lastly, her black eyes, which could see anything.
However, Benimaru only marveled at her beauty for a second before saying."Now, let's begin what we started."
"Wait!" He just sat on his chair when suddenly something popped into his mind. "I still have to give you a name. What should I call you?"
Benimaru rubbed his chin, contemplating what he would name her. After thinking for a little, he finally decided on a name.
He looked at the girl before him, who was looking around all the objects curiously. "Come here."
The girl instantly locked her focus on Benimaru the moment she heard his voice.
Benimaru looked at her face and said it nonchalantly. "I have decided to give you a name. I can't call you a little gu- girl all the time."
"From today onward, you will be called Fiain, and you will also be my general. I hope you have the skills for it."
Fiain knelt on the ground on her knee as she had watched Ragnar do all the time. "Ye- Yes, my Lord."
"Good," Benimaru nodded his head in satisfaction, seeing Fiain being a fast learner, close to Ragnar. "So, now tell me, do you remember anything about before you came to this world?"
Fiain went into deep thought, trying her hardest to remember, eventually answering. "I am sorry, Lord. I can't remember a single thing."
"It's okay." Benimaru waved his hand, not caring much about it. "You should go outside and meet with your colleague Ragnar. He will teach you everything."
"I will, my lord." Riain said before standing up but before she would leave, she said to Benimaru. "Thank you, Lord. For giving me a new life. I am indebted to you."
Benimaru looked at Fiain's figures leaving the house in surprise. Then a small smile appeared on his face. "Considerate, huh?"
"Unfortunately, I didn't find anything from her. I would have been depressed wasting my blood essence and a spot for general wasting on her but…" Benimaru looked at the digital status screen in front of him. "...I have a better way of finding out."
[ General: Fiain
Race: The Watcher
Vitality Realm: 6th Stage Health Seeker
Combat Strength: 7th Stage Health Seeker
Ability: Eyes of Envision
Vitality Technique: None
Skills: None ]
"What the!?" Benimaru got dumbfounded seeing the status, but that wasn't what shocked him most, but what it said about them.
[ The Watcher: An elusive demon race that dwells on the 15th floor of the demon realm. No one knows who or what they are, but they are someone even the kings of the bottom floors worry about. But there is one thing that everyone knows, and that is – they are master hunters. Anyone they set their eyes on, they will capture them, no matter how impossible the task might be. ]
[ Eyes of Envision: A pair of conceptual eyes that the Watchers are blessed with. It gives them strong visual capabilities and especially lets them see what might happen in the future. This power depends on the strength the user possesses. Legend has it that the ancestor of the Watcher race was able to see hundreds of years in the future, which helped them predict the catastrophe that might have happened in the demon realm. ]
"This…isn't this too overpowered?" Benimaru couldn't help but question himself, as he had a strong yearning for it.
He couldn't imagine how much stronger he might get after having this eye power. However, the main reason for this yearning was about the past. He couldn't help but think about what could have happened if he had had this power. It didn't matter if he could just see for a second into the future, that would be enough for him to save her.
However, he quickly tossed these thoughts away from his mind. 'Now is not the time to regret. Whatever happened in the past is already gone. At least I know how my daughter is doing even after her death. I should first focus on killing this god.'
