Empress' Evolution

The simple question of the Ogre Champion Elder was more than enough to show his confusion and his emotions on how chaotic this whole thing was.

Lilith who had blood all over her blood saw the Ogre Champion and snapped out of her play mode. She used 500 MP to summon water and dowse herself with it in order to cleanse the blood off her body.

"It is nothing you should worry about, Eve comes back here there's more training to come. By the end of the day, I want you to be a peerless female warrior, you're going to be the banner of the Female Ogres."

While Lilith was talking the other three Ogres came out of the Portal, all of them were drenched in blood. The Ogre Champion was baffled at the sight and seeing Lilith dragging Eve away, the Elder could only come and asked the new arrivals to make ins and outs of the situation.

"The Priestess told us to bath in the blood of the Gnolls to hide our scent, don't worry Elder we are fine. But Sister Eve has been slightly traumatized after the Priestess told her to be the spearhead against a group of Gnolls and almost died. She'll be fine, the Priestess said she's going to be fine."

Killa was the one who explained the situation. Killa was the only epic-tier in the group of Lilith and he was not some weak coward either. But the respect he showed towards Lilith was enough to make even the nameless Elder looked at Lilith with surprise. In the end, the baffled Ogre Champion could only nod his head to what is being said.

With Eve on her right hand, Lilith dragged the hesitant Eve away. It seems like the warrior life that Lilith

"I'll be leaving now, tell the Chief to collect bodies of the Gnolls they tasted good so collect them all. Also, let him know that this one right here is the first female warrior, she pa.s.sed and I'll be drilling some useful information known as 'courage' to her head. Also, tell some more Ogres to tail us, we'll be clearing more Scourge Dungeons after this one."

"NOOOO!"

The traumatized Eve yelled out, her previous eagerness to hunt daemons disappeared and was replaced with the cruel emotion of fear, not towards the daemons but towards the harsh training of Lilith.

She was the only Ogre who saw that smile of hers for it truly was. This day marked the first victim of Lilith's methods.

With the five-men group of Lilith left, the Ogre Champion just watched their backs for a few seconds before coming back to his senses. He entered the portal to confirm the situation and as he walked the bloodied path the group of the Priestess took, his face began to change.

He counted the number of bodies and by the time he reached the end of the dungeon where the five-meter Gnoll Lord, the number of daemons he had come across was already 57. The group of the Gnoll King numbered at 17 and from the looks of the aftermath, the Priestess and her crew destroyed them.

From the marks of the battle and how the entire crew acted uninjured only a single conclusion came to his mind: flawless victory. When he left the Gate, he dragged the Gnoll King with him. He walked back to the Ogre Village with a bewildered expression and told the Chief what he had seen. The Chief stepped out of the Chief's dwelling and looked at the Gnoll King's corpse.

'Oh yeah, I'm going to say this now, when the moon goes red I'll be the one to step forward and take your position.'

"She's going to be quite the contender."

He then remembered the words of Lilith and instead of feeling the pressure he felt excitement. The power of the Priestess was more than what he had thought.

"Priestess, we have defeated the Grams."

"Good work, how's Eve's performance this time?"

"She's beginning to have sharper movements."

Lilith smiled after hearing that and then went to kill the dying Garams. Garams are daemons that have tough scales but little to no attacking prowess, it was like her Nightmare Dragonkin but without the poison.

Also, they looked like overgrown armadillos of the past so it can easily be said that their speed was rather low. The only trouble they posed was that they multiply quickly and have to be taken cared of before they initiate a Dungeon Break.

'My stats have increased considerably, but that is only for the Two Horns though. The Leopard and the Dragonkin are still stuck at 28. I need to make it climb sooner or later.'

She can't evolve if the other two don't keep up with the Two Horns. It was rather annoying but it was a means to keep her abnormal state balance in this world she presumed, well, it doesn't really matter all that match because Lilith doesn't plan on letting any of her forms become useless.

'I'll do something that will let me transform in front of them at will...that could world.'

"Oh, I managed to learn a new skill!?" Lilith's voice echoed and reached the ears of the other four. Even Eve who was sprawled on the ground for being too tired tried her best to get up and looked at their Priestess with curiosity.

"The Priestess learned something new?"

They were all curious to see what it was and without turning back, Lilith already knew that they were looking at her. She then transformed into a Yellow Leopard before quickly s.h.i.+fting to a Black Winged-Lizard!

"Hooh, this is useful."

When Lilith turned her head to look at the four daemons and somehow, she was disappointed.

"It's a shapes.h.i.+fting ability. It's like the s.h.i.+fters we fought three years ago, that was a good challenge. The Tribe had a brawl after being too angry at each other."

"Yeah, I remember that the Chief and the Elders really went all-out trying to best one another..."

Their conversation was just like that. Lilith looked at them and only sighed. In the end, it didn't really have anything to do with her because she was not a part of it.

They left the dungeon talking with one another whilst Lilith began to think. She now had a total of 53,400 SP, it was a lot of funds for her to spend. She began to drool thinking about it.

"Congratulations on returning safely, Priestess."

"Take care of the meat inside."

"Yes."

An Ogre was instructed by Killa and followed his orders without fail. Lilith did not listen and merely waved her hand after hearing the word Priestess. The meat of the Garams would be brought back to the Villa.

By the time they returned to the Ogre Tribe, the sun had already set and the moon was hanging low in the sky. Lilith returned to the Ogre Village and there, she saw a lot of pelt and meat being butchered.

"The Priestess has returned!"

"It is another victory for the Priestess."

The Ogres of the Village celebrated as Lilith's return signified another victory for the Ogre. When Eve and the rest saw their kin celebrating them, all four of them puffed their chest, especially Eve who became the first female warrior.

Lilith ignored the four and went to enter the dwelling of the chief and inside, only the Chief was there, sharpening his blade. When the covers of his dwelling were lifted, the Ogre raised his head and saw the tiny figure of Lilith.

"So you have returned, is it another flawless victory?"

"No, Eve got injured on the shoulders, Scarface got pushed back and Luck was almost crushed, it's not a flawless victory. Hey, I'll be leaving the village for a week, I'll come back after some time."

"Do you really think I'll let you go just like that?"

"I'll take at least Killa with me. I won't go to the other races."

The Chief only smiled after hearing her casual remarks. This little loli was too much of a free will. But she understood what he wants from her. The Chief shrugged his shoulders and went back to sharpening his blade.

After Lilith came out of the dwelling she was met with another peal of cheers but she escaped that place and went over to Killa who was eating the thigh of a Gnoll. Lilith kicked his leg to get his attention.

"Come on, we're leaving. The Chief asked you to escort me somewhere."

"But we just returned, Priestess."

Is what Killa wanted to say but he got up and did what Lilith told him to. He felt aggrieved, but he did say he'll repay her with his body and Ogres doesn't go back on their words.

"You don't have to leave that. You know what, take as much as possible, we'll be eating on the way."

Killa celebrated and when Lilith sat on his shoulders, the two of them were eating the meat of a Gnoll.

"Huh? Where's the Priestess and Brother Killa going?" Eve, Scarface and Luck who just happened to be together caught sight of Lilith and Killa heading out.

"I'm going somewhere."

"Can we go too? We're the personal guards of the Priestess!" Scarface said whilst flexing his muscle.

Lilith turned to Eve and asked a simple question, "Did the other Ogres fed him that idea?"

"Yes."

Sighing, Lilith watched as Scarface continued flexing with pride and in the end, she let them come with. More Ogres means more protection also, more hands to carry Gnoll meat. Lilith had them carry more and on the way to the mansion, they were munching on Gnoll meat.

It was like a leisure stroll at night. Lilith was even ranking her favourite food since becoming a daemon. The Gnoll meat was on top, she compared it to high-quality steak.

"Where are we going, Priestess?" Even asked as they ran.

"Back to my old dwelling."

They sped up and by the time they reached the place of the neutral area, the others were already wis.h.i.+ng to sleep. But, Lilith had them continue moving and finally when they reached the mountain, where the illusion was placed, everyone stopped and flinched at the orders of Lilith to continue.

"It's a mountain, Priestess."

"So?"

"But..."

"Just charge through it, trust me."

"Ugh."

Lilith and her fateful 'bodyguards' hesitated but with Killa spearheading the charge, the group finally found the courage to charge towards the solid mountain.

They expected a painful and intimate meeting with the mountain, thankfully, no such thing happened and when they opened their closed eyes, they saw it, the old and dilapidated mansion.

"We're unscathed!"

The four celebrated the surprising event.

"You can now rest."

The four of them ignored everything else and as soon as Lilith said that they jumped high up to the air, landed on the overgrown gra.s.s and slept without regards to how they looked.

Lilith ignored them and entered the mansion, as soon as she entered there she found the two b.a.l.l.s of light.

'Just a little bit more.'

Sitting in front of one of the white coc.o.o.ns, Lilith ate the Gnoll meet as she waited.

She waited and waited, the moon at this time was hanging low and seemed big and by the time midnight struck, the white coc.o.o.n became blue.

The aura of death exploded just as the coc.o.o.n did. A thick scent of blood wafted over to her and the coc.o.o.n made of mana entered the body of the silvered haired beauty that had come out of the coc.o.o.n.

Wearing a black robe. Dhampy finally emerged from her coc.o.o.n and she soared through the skies as soon as she got out. Her beauty was even more impressive than before. Her silver hair was more beautiful than it used to be.

Dhampy sensed the presence of Lilith and immediately went down, she kneeled on one knee and lowered her head.

"Boss."

"Good."

Dhampy had come out of her coc.o.o.n and had finally become a Blood Lord.
