DxD: THE LEGENDARY TRAVELER WITH SYSTEM

One day passed in the blink of an eye... Almost literally.

The ogres evolved into Oni.

Zaydas made clothes for them with silk threads.

Now, their changes.

With hair burning like a crimson flame, Benimaru. Although he was large and burly, his height decreased to 180 cm, and his body became more toned. Two black horns protrude below his hair, shining more intensely than obsidian. However, his magical energy changed, enough to confuse him with a different being...

Next. Shuna and Shion are women. The female ogres were very beautiful, but evolution made them dazzling.

Shuna, from within her long, wavy, pink hair, two white horns could be seen. White skin and pink lips. Her height is approximately 155 cm. Red eyes, with a gaze full of passion, stared at Zaydas.

The other, Shion. Dark purple, straight hair, with a single purple horn. White skin and red lips. Purple eyes, as if looking into Zaydas's soul. A height of 170 cm. Huge breasts that rival Rias and Akeno. Licking her lips like models sometimes do, a true beauty.

Kurobee is in his prime. An elegant uncle.

Hakurou is a middle-aged man. However, you cannot underestimate him for that.

Souei is the same age as Benimaru. Darker skin and dark blue hair. A handsome man with a different air around him; 190 cm tall. Blue eyes, which suit him well.

And all surpass rank A.

After testing their changes, simultaneously, they bowed before Zaydas: "Zaydas-sama! Please accept our loyalty!"

"Very well." Zaydas said: "Raise your heads."

It was what he wanted, so did he have a reason to refuse? Obviously not!

The fact that they wanted to be loyal to him even after evolving made Zaydas feel he made the right choice, although a small part of him feels bad for Rimuru...

One thing happened that left him quite surprised. All the Ogres... Now Onis, would gain abilities from him upon evolving.

Souei acquired the ability [Umbrakinesis (Shadow Manipulation)], extra abilities: [Indestructible Threads] and [Silk Manipulation].

Shuna acquired the ability [Photokinesis (Light Manipulation)], extra ability: [Analytical] and unique abilities: [Programming] and [Remodeling].

Her abilities were basically identical to Zaydas's, except that she remodels something already created, like a chair, etc. Although, in essence, both could do the same... As for her [Programming], she can even program some actions in living beings! Seriously, she acquired some very good abilities.

Kurobee had acquired [Telekinesis] and the unique ability [Researcher].

Hakurou had his perception ability accelerated a thousandfold and [Aerokinesis (Air Manipulation)]. Seriously, with this, it's hard to imagine a scenario where he loses a battle.

Shion... Well, she acquired excellent abilities, [Electrokinesis (Electricity Manipulation)] and extra abilities: [Herculean Strength], [Physical Strength], and [Healthy Body].

Lastly, Benimaru. He obtained [Pyrokinesis (Fire Manipulation)], [Teleportation], and the unique ability: [Flames of Destruction].

'In the end, each of them gained one of the psychic abilities...' He thought: 'Flames of Destruction... Is this ability related to my Power of Destruction?'

Shion with a Healthy Body... Just thinking about it, he could see her after a thousand battles, atop a pile of bodies with a confident smile, showing no signs of fatigue.

Is it okay to give her something like this?

Well, he wouldn't be the one to complain about it either...

"Your evolutions are now complete." Zaydas said slowly: "You all have become strong enough to be an army of a thousand monsters. But before that, let's go to a friend's village."

"Yes!" None of them objected.

"Come, hold hands." Zaydas said: "We will teleport directly there."

When he said this, Shuna came and held his left hand, smiling with a slight blush, and Shion held his right hand while staring at Shuna.

Shuna stared back at Shion.

Bachibachibachi

Seeing the 'sparks' in the air clashing between the two, Zaydas thought, confused: 'Did they develop some feelings for me just like that?'

He wasn't Rimuru; he could see that their rivalry wasn't something they had in the past. In other words, he is the X factor that made this rivalry appear between them.

But, was it because they started to love him? No, he believes not.

At most, it was at the level of romantic interest, mixed with a sense of duty because he had given them names, which made them connected through that and being the lord they would serve.

The instant everyone held hands, forming a circle, Zaydas used teleportation.

...

Rimuru was more than surprised by the subordinates that Zaydas had acquired.

The fact that all of them surpassed [rank A] was one thing. Not to mention that these two Onis were incredibly beautiful.

'An idol duo?' Rimuru thought: 'And these names... Why do I feel strange when I think about the names Zaydas gave them?'

Putting that aside, he said: "I am Rimuru, a Slime, nice to meet you."

After introducing himself, Rimuru changed his human form to his slime form.

"A slime?"

...

Hakurou did not expect their lord's friend to be a slime.

However, something didn't seem simple about this slime...

Even if subtly, he felt a powerful aura coming from this monster.

'Oro, so he's hiding his own aura... As expected of Zaydas-sama's friend.' He thought.

...

[Meeting Room]

After that, Zaydas, along with the Onis, explained about the Orcs in the presence of the main leaders under Rimuru's wing.

Rimuru returned to his human form.

"By the way, I'm afraid to say that this is just the tip of the iceberg," Zaydas suddenly said, surprising everyone. "While I was exploring the forest earlier, I saw a huge group of Orcs. By my calculations, there must be at least 200,000 of them. Therefore, my friend Rimuru-san, not even your village will be safe if they march in this direction."

"What do you suggest, Zaydas-kun? You didn't come just to scare me by talking about this absurd number of Orcs, right?" Rimuru asked.

"Obviously," Zaydas replied. "My plan is simple. Although I could get rid of all of them, it would be too laborious. After all, 200,000 Orcs is no joke. So, I have a proposal. Let's join forces and deal with them as soon as possible."

"200,000...!"

Meanwhile, the Ogres... Now Onis, were astonished.

But it was expected. After all, a group of 10,000 managed to devastate their entire village; imagine if there is a huge fleet of 200,000 Orcs.

"So those who attacked our village were just a division?"

Hakurou opened one eye and said, "Oya, oya, if it were 10,000, I was confident I could get rid of them all by myself, but 200,000 is difficult."

One of the Goblinas served them tea.

Everyone was seated around a large wooden table with an open map of the Jura Forest in the center that Zaydas created. Well, he had already mapped the entire forest before; it was easy for him to create one with 3D Modeling.

Shuna and Shion, upon seeing this, said something like, "As expected of Zaydas-sama!"

"Hmm, maybe they have become pawns of one of the Demon Lords," Kaijin murmured.

Kaijin was a blacksmith from the Dwarf Kingdom.

"Yes, I don't deny that possibility," Zaydas said while thinking, 'Although it's the weakest Demon Lord.'

"I believe the Orcs will want to capture our lands!" Rigurdo responded on behalf of everyone.

"Not just your lands, but the entire forest. And, from what I saw, they are coming from the south, taking a relatively wide route, and are aiming for the swamps." Zaydas drank the tea right after dropping this bombshell.

Meanwhile, other Goblinas entered, each carrying trays with food.

...

They talked for several hours planning.

After all, they couldn't simply go against such a large army without thinking.

Shuna beside him took a spoonful of soup and fed him.

"Delicious," Zaydas said.

"Isn't it?" Rimuru said. "All thanks to you, Zaydas-san; if it weren't for the crops you created, such things wouldn't be possible to serve here."

Zaydas responded with a chuckle, "Kuku, you gave me several potions in exchange, remember?"

"Were those potions created by him?"

It was the Onis' turn to be surprised again. After all, each of them had experienced the miraculous effects of the potions created by Rimuru.

"Yes, my friend here, Rimuru-san, is a genius when it comes to creating potions," Zaydas replied.

"A genius, you say... You're praising me too much; that doesn't make me happy at all, baka!" Rimuru pretended to be embarrassed but soon became serious.

"200,000 Orcs..." Rimuru said slowly. "I'm confident I can get rid of a quarter of them. And you, Zaydas-kun?"

"It depends. If I have time... all of them, but if it's something in a short period, without destroying a good part of the forest... half of them?" He replied, uncertain.

Hearing this, almost everyone held their breath.

This statement was too absurd.

"This friend of Rimuru-danna is a monster..." murmured one of the Dwarves, and the rest nodded in agreement.

"Half of them, huh, hahaha, as expected of Zaydas-sama," Hakurou said with a cheerful laugh.

The reason Hakurou had so much faith in him was because, in his words: Someone capable of naming us, Ogres, moreover six at once, and continuing as if nothing had happened is an obvious demonstration of his power. Besides, we evolved directly from Ogres to Onis.

...

At some point, Shion left with the Goblinas and returned minutes later.

"Zaydas-sama, I made a delicious soup for you~" She said with a big smile on her face.

[You want power? I'll make you strong!]

In the eyes of many, Shion's purple-colored soup seemed to speak and even had a face.

What was the name of that... Oh yes, Pareidolia: The tendency to see a face in anything with three distinct points.

Taking the soup spoon, Zaydas began to eat while the Onis broke into a cold sweat.

"Mm, not bad," Zaydas said.

"He really ate it..."

...

While to the Onis, who now looked at him as if he were a true aberration, Zaydas had a happy smile while eating Shion's food. That's because...

[Skill: [Paralysis Resistance (Rank C)] Obtained.] 

[Skill: [Poison Resistance (Rank C)] Obtained.]

And, although the taste wasn't good, that didn't matter. The fact of gaining something in return made it worthwhile, and he possessed a Healthy Body; even if it were something poisonous, it wouldn't be able to make him blink.

Finishing, he looked at Shion: "Thank you, Shion, it was very good."

He thought: 'It was an excellent soup capable of giving me two skills.'

Shion's violet-purple eyes shone like a starry sky; smiling beautifully, she exclaimed: "It's a pleasure to serve you, Zaydas-sama!"

Meanwhile, Zaydas's respect increased by 100% with the Onis... Well, with almost all of them. Shuna was looking at him with puffed cheeks, obviously upset and jealous.

She then murmured something softly like: "I won't lose...!"

On the other hand, Shion looked smugly at Shuna.
