Shadowslash nodded but he was still having a little headache since he would need to create an another armor to cover Nightmare's body once again

Seeing that the whole thing was already finished Shadowslash and the rest of the group returned back to the carriage to sleep ​​

The next day Shadowslash ordered everyone to clean and renovate the house

Sans also managed to gain a level he was now a Crimson Gold Rank Level 2 he also manage to learn a new skill

Chilling Throw [Mid Rank) (Throws the spear towards the target) (Using this skill increase the speed of the flying spear) (Restriction : Needed Death and Yin Qi to fully unleashed the full strength of the skill)

Other than that he also learned a new technique even though it was still incomplete Spear Wheel a technique that involves spinning a spear

Nightmare also benefited even though it did not fought in the last battle it manage to absorbs the Demonic Apparition flames and was now close to evolving he just needs something to push him once more he also have a short bone horn on his forehead

Sans then devours all the remaining negative energy to finally purify the whole area even though the negative energy might be harmful to others and would change a spirit or an undead for Sans it was just nutrient since the negative energy would only turn into pure Death Qi

The whole group become busy with renovating the place

Just like that a week passed by the whole mansion and the land around it had gone to a total makeover

The whole place was now full of vitality trees and other plants were now growing all around the mansion

The water in the pond was now crystal clear unlike from its first appearance from before there were also many different kind of fishes and other fresh water animals in the center of the pond was a young lady meditating

She was submerged in water only to her chest large amount of water element was being absorbed and manipulated by her she is Lilia after remodelling the mansion she focused her time in practicing her magic

A tree stood out in the back of the mansion there a young elf under the tree sne was also meditating flickers of green light would shine out from her like Lilia Herish also started to busy herself on her magic

Just a couple of meters apart from her a beautiful looking deer sleeping next to a small seedling whoever saw the deer would fell serene Crystelia might look like she was just lazing about but she was actually training her spirit energy each single day

Between the two of them were a beautiful sleeping girl she was lying in the ground if you did not see her appearance you would mistaken her as a plant just from her aura unlike everyone who was working very hard Leafinia would everyday lay about in the garden but just this action was enough to greatly strengthen and increase the quality of the plants around her

In another area two elves were practicing archery Iria and Erz would everyday train in the garden their enemy was Shadowslash clone the two of them wanted to train themselves for different reason for Iria she was perfecting her technique while for Erz she was researching for a new skill or technique

Near them were 6 foxes playing with each other since they were powerful the 6 girls do not busy themselves in training but this do not mean they do not train they still train only not as much as everyone do

a bunny which looks like it was sparring with a very young leopard Bun Bun and Purple Kitty have already considered themselves as rival and would every day spar

Close to them was a hawk sleeping perched in a tree in another trunk was an adult leopard sleeping Violet and Valkiry would every day went out of the mansion to roam outside the barren land but they would only do this every other day

Just a couple of meters apart of the gate of the residence a huge three headed dog was sleeping like a loyal guard dog Triple C was considered the best guard for the mansion so Shadowslash have him stationed there

In the most back part of the mansion there a young boy was doing push up besides him was an extremely handsome young man who was also doing push ups Al and Shadowslash wanted to be much more buffed so they would do intense work out each single day

Near them was a blackish silver armored knight waving his spear rotating them in circle and sometimes would do some complicated attacks or moves while everyone would take a rest Sans would not the only time he was not training is when it is time to eat and this was only because Shadowslash told him to

In a wide area a monkey was training a couple of young kids and buffed adults in close combat Don Don was still doing the same thing he do when they were still in Hope Town and that is instructing a couple of people about martial art

The children were numbering to a dozen and the adults were 20

Inside the mansion a young maiden was sorting a couple of papers Reias is now considered the group's financial adviser

In the kitchen a lady in a chef outfit was ordering a couple of people who was hurrying in preparing dishes Shena was now the main chef of the mansion

After a week Shadowslash and the others finally manage to make the plot of land their ideal home

Since the whole continent was facing many major crises the number of slaves inflated now a person could buy a large number of slaves with a discounted price

Shadowslash immediately bought a batch of slaves to increase his forces and also strengthen their foundation in the Archinviel Dukedom

He was still harboring the idea of building the adventure association

As of now he still did not manage to do that and was still accumulating funds for the association

Since most of the places in the continent was now suffering in famine the food that Shadowslash was selling brought him some good money and from the psst three days he brought Sans and Banjo and return back to the Howling Ridge and hunted some Gold Rank monster and sold their remains

The association also needed strong members other than Sans no one could pose as a strong suitable member so he decided to nurture his own members

He bought a hundred slaves for that 12 children, 20 capable adults and the rest were either became servants or personnel of the original group

Just as Shadowslash and Al were doing some intense work out a buff man came running towards them

"Master, Teacher Don Don calls for you he said it was something very important" Hearing this Shadowslash follows the buff man towards the designated training area

There he saw Don Don comunicating with a kid of course he was not talking only doing gestures

"What's the matter Don?" Shadowslash curiously asks

"Shadowslash look at this you'll be in for a surprise" He then nodded at the kid

The kid then nervously put his two hands on the ground and a small mound was created in front of him

Shadowslash was startled by this sight and after a few seconds he snap out from his daze he then looks at the kid with appreciation

"To think you have an affinity towards the earth element not bad kid what is your name?" He then asks the kid

The kid became panicked and starts to do some hand gesture towards Shadowslash

One of the adult man breath in and took a step forward it seems that he steeled himself "Master this little one is still not good at talking and could not remember his name so I think that you could be the one naming him"

Shadowslash nodded he then looks at the man and asks "What's your name?"

"Master my humble name is Big Bear" The man then bows at Shadowslash

Shadowslash nodded before saying "Because of your courage to speak out I'll increase your ranking and promotes you to Normal Iron Rank"

Hearing this Big Bear became quite excited and ecstatic

Shadowslash created the ranking system to motivate the slaves to work hard

The ranking goes to Iron, Bronze, Silver and Gold each Ranking consist of three stages Rusty, Normal, Good and each stage have 5 levels of course only those that was 15 years old and above would be ranked

Each Ranking and stage have their own perks and the it would increase as to your rank

Those that were on Iron Rank would need to do some work in order to fill their stomach and if they cannot they would owe a large debt of CP contribution Points from
