195 The Power of True Names

Starting with the Demon Trio, composed of Palami, Asure, and Raito. The three demons were of the species named Lords, and were only "Half-Lords", meaning that they needed further evolution to reach the peak of their strength. Although there is the possibility of further evolving, it is said that evolving into a Lord is enough for demons to be completely mature.

Palami evolved from Half-Paladin Lord to a subspecies named Radiant Paladin Lord, which seems to be related to the blessing she obtained before evolving, which came from the [Demi-God of Light Reflection].

Palami's evolution came with great bonuses in her stats as her physique became stronger and sturdier. Her body grew in size and she now surpassed the two meters of length, however, she remained with the thin and agile body of hers, which her new size, she was even more beautiful. Her eyes became bright gold and her hair became of a clear brown, reaching her hips. Palami's skin became a very light brown as she gained a small yellow gem in her right hand alongside a long unicorn-like horn in her forehead.

Her [Organic] armor evolved alongside her and became a beautiful golden armor with several angelic decorations and even small wings on her back, she seemed like a chivalrous knight that was born to serve the light. She gained a "soul bound" shield and sword, that were made of this same golden material and were incredibly sturdy, being comparable to [Mythical++] equipment.

Her blessing not only granted her a better evolution but new powers, as she was now able to reflect almost any magic attack with her shield and shoot it back with double the power. Alongside this, her blade also possesses reflection capabilities tied with physical attacks, being able to reflect most techniques thrown at her with incredible skillfulness. She has also learned plenty of Light Spells and Healing Spells, becoming both a strong and defensive warrior and a supporter if needed.

I was going to gift Palami the Knight of Holy's equipment and weapon, but she just got something way better just by evolving, nonetheless, she still received the items and used her own [Organic Armor] skill and the share from my blessing to consume the armor and use it as a material to make her equipment stronger, the result was an even better set of armor and her blade was strengthened as well.

Moving on with Raito, similar to Palami, he received a blessing and evolved into a strong subspecies. Raito received the blessing of the [Demi-God of Thunderbolts] and evolved from a Half-Thunder Lord into a Thunderbolt Lord.

After evolving, the immature Raito has gained a lot of strength and confidence, and even his personality has become more mature as well. His physique increased as well, although not as tall as Palami, he is around 1.87 meters tall, his yellow skin became even brighter and his slim muscles seem more toned.

His eyes became blue and the horn on his forehead became even bigger, resembling the shape of a thunderbolt. This horn works as his own Orb where he can channel electric powers and also summon his [Organic Equipment]. His hair changed to a light brown and he has become a handsome man.

Raito equipment resembles that of Japanese warriors, which is also heavily reinforced with different plates stuck together, but it is light enough for him to move at incredible speeds somehow. His Kanata has also evolved and became incredibly strong, being able to summon thunderbolts whenever he slashes at, he can also summon a myriad of small daggers made of thunder to attack from a safe distance or protect his back.

Just like Palami, I gave him the Elemental Knight of Thunder equipment and weapon as he quickly assimilated and fused it with his own equipment, upgrading it into its next level. He was very grateful and promised me that he would become a reliable warrior.

Last but not least in the Demon Trio is Asure, like his previous friends, his efforts were noticed by a God and he was granted a blessing before his evolution, resulting in a subspecies with better capabilities than its original evolution tree.

Asure received the blessing of the [Demi-God of Steel] and due to its power, he evolved from a Half-Quake Lord into a Steel Ore Lord, a subspecies of Earthquake Lords, that have proficiency over controlling the Earth alongside Steel and other minerals.

After evolving, Asure became an actual titan of steel. He suddenly became a [Giant] and grew over four meters tall. His muscles became incredibly rigid covered in a thin steel coating, giving him a gray luster to his dark brown skin. His eyes became gray as well and his hair was long and messy, with thousands of tiny spikes, all made of steel. On his muscles there were different coatings of steel and other ores, growing like spikes on his shoulders. He also had two gray orbs on both of his elbows.

Although he looked intimidating, he still had a youthful and handsome face, so it was the same Asure from always. After evolving, he seemed more reliable and firmer, however, his stupidity was the same, he's not the type of guy that thinks much, he just jumps to battle.

Asure [Organic Equipment] was only a pair of black pants and an open gray blouse, he didn't need any type of armor as his own body was even better than most Legendary Armors out there. However, his trusty mace became even greater as it evolved alongside himself becoming a massive piece of iron and other minerals concentrated into a cylindrical shape with hundreds of spikes in each side, being able not only to squish anything to death with it, but they will also be impaled by hundreds of massive needles.

Asure powers vary a lot, as he can generate earthquakes, control the ground and summon rock and stones. He can also generate weapons with his powerful steel manipulation and if the land is compatible enough, he can fill it with thousands of steel spikes. He's also learning how to create golems.

Just like the previous two, I gave him the Elemental Knight of Earth equipment, it was very small for his size, but enough to reinforce his [Organic Equipment] by eating it and fusing it with the skill, resulting in stronger equipment and weapon. The results were quick as his mace became even more menacing as it was suddenly covered in another layer of sharp rocks, his black pants became more refined with different ornaments and decorations and his blouse did as well.

These three demons have really surpassed my expectations greatly since they joined in here, they have used every opportunity given to become stronger and diligently trained themselves. These three were always aiming to be stronger and stronger. And not just brute strength, but the development of techniques and skills as well, while also learning magic spells and just a general understanding of everything, to the point of even studying subjects that they didn't know. (Mostly due to Palami forcing the two younger demons to study to forge their knowledge about the world).

Something that I noticed while glancing at their stats was these "True Name" titles, which gave them a second name, it was rather intriguing. It seems that not only the blessings gave them a nice boost but these "True Names" may be involved as well. I will assign soldiers and troops for their team, which has been officially named Demon Trio Team. I hope that they can take care of them and influence their evolutions, I'm going to give them a lot of promising rookies.

Curious about my other servants, I began to inspect the Slave Team, which was the second group that managed to evolve as well. They evolved around two to three months ago, and I really didn't expect them to evolve so soon. I think I should stop expecting so less from my servants, they are really reliable and hardworking people.

Starting off with Jorogumo and her love partner Erathe, who is technically not part of this Team but I have let her join in because of their relationship. Jorogumo received a blessing, the blessing of the [Demi-Goddess of Fire Beasts], and due to this evolved into a new subspecies. This is her third evolution already so she gained plenty of stats and new surging power.

From a Fiery Oni Arachne, Jorogumo evolved into a Blazing Beastly Oni Arachne, although she wasn't a Giant yet, she became very tall, surpassing the two meters, as her spider half became bigger and wilder as well. Her previous red skin became dark red with dark tattoos around her muscular humanoid body.

She gained another pair of humanoid arms and each of her hands became covered in the same fur of her spider legs, being red with black stripes, her fingers also became pure white claws. Her hair turned white and long while her six eyes became four instead and were bigger as well. She had a big crown of black horns in her forehead now as her beauty also increased by a tenfold. Her muscular body was covered in fur in some parts, like her neck and breast, giving her a "beastly" look that most probably comes from her new blessing.

Every time she breathed, Jorogumo would release strong flames from her mouth as her eyes would release small blazes around. Her body temperature was also very high and not having any type of resistance over Fire would lead to small burn wounds. Her organic weapons changed into four Red Axes that she can easily wield with her four new humanoid arms and devastate anything with her powerful onslaughts.

[NAME: Jorogumo

[CLASS: [Savage and Beastly Four Axes Empress]

[RACE: [Blazing Beastly Oni Arachne]

[LEVEL: 1/250 EXP: 0000000/6000000

[LUCK: 10

I gave Jorogumo some artifacts I obtained after looting Athetosea's treasury as compensation, she received a small pendant with an eye-like ruby gemstone that increased her fire spells power greatly. Alongside this, there was a special chain weapon made of a mineral that has fire absorption capabilities, she can wrap these chains around her belly or chest to absorb her heat into it and make her less dangerous for others to be around her, whenever she fights she can release the absorbed heat in powerful explosions of fire.

She seemed overly excited about my gift and jumped over me while hugging me with her incredibly sturdy arms. Erathe also came towards me and began to lick my face like a very happy puppy. As she did, I inspected her new appearance as well.

Erathe was the hellhound that came with the rest of the Demi-Human slaves, she was raised in the wild and it's a natural battle junkie, however these last months she has slowly become more amicable with the rest due to her relationship with Jorogumo. The Arachne has not only taught her what's love but also has taught her how to respect her comrades and properly socialize.

Perhaps because of her relationship with Jorogumo, her evolution was influenced by this as she received the blessing of the [Demi-God of Dark Beasts], evolving from Hellhound to Abysshound, her fur turned completely black and charcoal-like, her paws grew in size and strength as her claws seemed to be made of black gemstones. Her eyes were completely black with orange pupils and she gained three fluffy charcoal tails as well. She also had her own [Organic Equipment] in a series of black chains that covered her entire nude body, she could manipulate them to bind her enemies or attack.

Her size increased a little bit, almost matching Jorogumo, although she was more amicable now, she still didn't like to wear clothes and walked around completely nude, thankfully her charcoal fur covered her breast and genitals.

[NAME: Erathe

[CLASS: [Wild Chains of Darkness]

[RACE: [Abysshound]

[LEVEL: 1/250 EXP: 0000000/5000000

[LUCK: 10

I wanted to gift her something but she usually doesn't even wear equipment, fighting with her own body only. At the very least she has these new chains to help her out. I only gave her some snacks as a gift, which she ate happily while waving her three tails around.
