Chapter 38: Benimaru: Father, Please Step Down!

【Shion】

Magicules: A-rank High-tier Majin (12,000 EP)
Magic: Aura Arts, Sorcery, Dark-type Pokémon Magic

Unique Skill: Tyrant (Thought Acceleration, Omnipotent Sense, Super Monstrous Strength, Super Speed Regeneration, Magic Destruction)
Special Skill: Magicule Solidification

‘War God Transformation and Tyrant, huh?’

Shion's War God Transformation was also a transformation ability. However, unlike Benimaru's elementalization, Shion's technique reinforced her body with constantly regenerating magic power, similar to an enhanced version of the Magicule Solidification ability. Although she couldn't elementalize, her physical strength, defense, and vitality would all be greatly increased.

Pure berserker specialization.

If Benimaru was a battle mage, then Shion was a berserker—a firm believer in brute force solving everything. Combined with Tyrant's Super Monstrous Strength and Super Speed Regeneration, in a one-on-one battle, she even surpassed Benimaru, second only to Ogerpon.

【Souei】

Race: Ogre → Kijin
Magicules: A-rank High-tier Majin (12,000 EP)

‘Souei is going for the assassin style, as expected.’

In the original work, Souei was Rimuru's shadow guard and ninja. After being named by Bai Luo, Souei awakened the Unique Skill, The Covert, specializing in his assassination and infiltration abilities.

【Shuna】

Race: Ogre → Kijin
Magicules: A-rank High-tier Majin (12,000 EP)
Magic: Sorcery, Elemental Magic, Illusion Magic, Fairy-type Pokémon Magic

Unique Skills: The Analyst (Thought Acceleration, Analysis and Appraisal, Chant Annulment, Law Manipulation), The Creator (Material Transmutation, Fusion, Separation)
Special Skill: Magicule Solidification
Resistances: Omitted

‘Everyone got Magicule Solidification, allowing them to convert magicules into physical stats.’

‘Benimaru is the battle mage, Shion is the berserker, Souei is the assassin, and Shuna is the mage.’

What surprised Bai Luo the most was that Shuna had awakened two Unique Skills at once. The Analyst and The Creator were practically divine skills in the realm of magic, their potential in no way inferior to Bai Luo's Learner.

‘Everyone's magicules reached 12,000 points.’

"Together, the four returned a total of 24,000 magicules to Bai Luo. After deducting the 5,400 magicules he spent naming them, Bai Luo now had about 36,000 magicules remaining—an amount exceeding even Ogerpon's current total."

"So strong!" 

"The Young Master and the others have become so strong!"

The Ogres all cast envious gazes toward Benimaru, Shuna, and the others. It was a monster's instinct to desire evolution, and the simplest way to transcend one's biological level was to receive a name from a powerful being.

"Lord Bai Luo~~"

However, before the Ogres could make a move, Shion, having received Bai Luo's permission, quickly stood up and threw her arms around him.

"Eh?" Bai Luo only felt his arm press against something soft.

"Lord Bai Luo's aura! Ooh~ what an enchanting scent!"

Shion's movements were so fast that Bai Luo couldn't even react. However, he felt no danger, but rather an overwhelming sense of closeness and dependence. It was Shion's instinct, coming from the bottom of her heart, to want to be near him.

Bai Luo was their master. In the subconscious of his dependents, they would see Bai Luo as their most important family member and want to be close to him. Of course, male dependents like Benimaru and Souei certainly wouldn't act like Shion.

"Ah~~ Shion is so cunning!" 

"Shuna wants to be with Lord Bai Luo, too."

The pink-haired Oni Princess didn't hesitate to move to Bai Luo's side, hugging his other arm tightly.

"Poni?" Ogerpon tilted her head, a little confused about the current situation. Fortunately, Pon-Pon wasn't the jealous type. The girl looked at Shion, then at Shuna, and finally just threw herself into Bai Luo's arms.

Bai Luo's embrace was Pon-Pon's!

"Ahem, that's enough, let go, let go a little..."

It took Bai Luo a great deal of effort to pull his hands out from Shuna's and Shion's embraces. Being so close to two beautiful, elf-like girls was both a pleasure and a pain for Bai Luo. If it were in private, Bai Luo wouldn't mind. But in front of everyone...

"Hm?" Bai Luo noticed that the Ogres didn't seem to care at all about Shion's and Shuna's behavior. Right, this wasn't the human world. A monster's values were based on revering the strong. Moreover, Bai Luo was the master who had personally given Shion and Shuna their names.

"Father, you've seen what Lord Bai Luo is capable of."

Benimaru decisively approached the Red Ogre Chief. "Please entrust the future of the Ogre tribe to us!"

This was practically forcing the abdication. But again, in the world of monsters, the strong were revered. Benimaru's intention was clear: he wanted his father to step down gracefully.

Looking to the side, Souei was warily watching Hakurou, preventing the old man from making any unwise moves.

"Yare yare." Hakurou naturally noticed this. He took a deep look at Bai Luo, then shook his head helplessly. "Chief, since the Young Master has decided, we have no choice, do we?"

"Alright." The Red Ogre Chief was not greedy for power. The Ogre tribe was only so large. If it meant making the village stronger, the Red Ogre Chief had no reason to refuse.

"I'm sorry, Father."

"No." The Red Ogre Chief didn't mind his son's actions at all; in fact, he was very appreciative. "You've made the right choice."

He raised his hand, signaling Benimaru to look at the other tribe members.

"This is..." Benimaru saw it. In the eyes of those Ogres was the desire to become stronger. They didn't dare to hope for a name from Bai Luo, but if they could follow Bai Luo and help the entire Ogre tribe rise, they might have a chance to gain the recognition of the Voice of the World, allowing all of them to evolve together into the Kijin tribe.
