"Julie… Do you remember when I said that line… 'deep down women are all fluff'?"
Julie giggled before she nodded, Mike sighed, for the nth time today as he looked at the scene in front of him
"I take that back… These women are fucking psyc… Crazy"
"Yep… Well, you are the one that made them like that, so…"
"...Well technically it was the elder demon that made them that way… She just had to use her… What was it called again?"
"[Acesion] skill?"
"Yeah, that one… Thanks to that I am connected to every single one of these beasts now"
"Calling them beasts is a little…"
Mike pointed over at the messily dismembered Orger that 7 wind sprit race women had taken down with their bare hands and were currently in the process of eating, they weren't cooking it, they were eating it raw, bones and all, Julie sighed before she admitted
"Yeah, beasts are a pretty good word to describe them I guess…"
"Right..? All right ladies, let's bring back the rest of the city"
""""""""Yes master!""""""""
The 7 wind sprits then began packing the dismembered corpse onto wooden carts before they rode those carts back to the city, when they arrived at the city Mike saw the elder waiting for them along with Kathrine
""Welcome back master""
"Yeah hi, help unload the meat will ya'?"
""Yes master""
Mike sighed once more, he had only yesterday explained that he didn't want to make too many servants, but now he had over 50.000 of them spread all over the continent
"I really can't win can I..."
"Come on Mike it's not that bad... It's not right?"
"Well that depends on how soon Azroth completes his mission"
"Right... That would be pretty good insurance right about now..."
Mike and Julie sighed, alas they had to work with what they got… And they got about 50.000 new bloodthirsty servants
"49.956 to be exact… Man, this is a headache…"
Mike closed his eyes and managed his new servants, he did nothing but skimming over them for now, after he skimmed over them he found 4.569 that was captured in the human lands, they were either slaves or prisoners, Mike smiled and sent a message to the 4.569 servants
"Make your way back to the village within 2 months, the rest will be killed"
Then he received thousands of variations of 'yes master' which nearly made him black out form the mental stress it laid on his brain, he opened his eyes again and saw Julie was wiping his sweat away, Mike showed a smile
"Thanks, dear"
"How was it, have you confirmed the locations of our new servants?"
"Yeah mostly… Though 4.569 of them are in human-captivity, so I have ordered them to return home"
"Okay… I hope some of them make it"
"Realistically I think about half will make it…"
"Yeah… That sounds about right…"
"Well then… Let's see what was next again..?"
"The dungeon dear"
"Right, thanks Julie"
Mike stood up and walked out of the room while giving mental orders, Julie walked with him, hand in hand and soon the two of them made it out into a plaza where a large table was sat up, Mike sat down at the end of the table and Julie sat down next to him, then the 20 or so Wind sprits sat down at the table too, Mike was perfectly able to hold this little meeting mentally but for the sake of Julie they held it in person, the twenty or so wind sprits that were gathered were mostly hunters, Mike started the meeting when a map of the surrounding forest was brought over from there they began to map areas of magic beast activity around the village to locate new dungeons, this took a while but by evening they had marked 4 or so areas for further exploration which would take place later that week, next Mike sighed before he spoke out
"Bring them over"
'They' were quickly brought over, one was a non-human man in his 30's which was representative of one of the non-human races called Fire iron race
'But basically, they're dwarves…'
"What's happening here!? I demand to see the one in charge! I want to see the elder!"

Mike sighed, then he spoke
"I am the one in charge"
"What the fuck are you talking about!? You!? Talk to me when you've grown some hair boy!"
Mike sighed then he looked at the Wind spirit that stood next to him
"Break one of his arms"
"Yes, master!"
The wind spirit was thrilled to be talked to by her dear master and drew her sword before she hammered the pummel down onto the Dwarf's arm which let out a scream of pain before he began cursing
"What the fuck, you damn tree-hugging slut, I'll fucking kill you with my---"
Mike showed a wry smile before he pointed to his arm and spoke
"Hit him once more, just for good measure"
"Yes, master!"
"AAAGGGRRRHHH!!!"
Mike ignored his scream of pain and spoke plainly
"As I said, I am the one in charge"
A few moments passed before the man from the Fire iron race calmed down and looked at Mike, his forehead was covered in a cold sweat, but it seemed like he was beginning to become rational again as he asked
"So..? What do you want, oh man in charge?"
"Me? I gathered you to make a couple of announcements… Firstly the wind sprit race will no longer be sending tribute"
The man narrowed his eyes as he asked
"What do you mean with that statement?"
"Exactly what it sounds like, now secondly you have 24 hours to leave the wind sprit race's land, anyone found violating that border again in the future will be judged accordingly"
The dwarf scoffed before he asked
"On who's authority?"
'Perfect timing… Nicely done Azroth'
Just as the dwarf finished speaking he looked up, he sensed an overwhelming amount of pressure all of a sudden as a roar sounded out from above the gloomy could layer, then another one and another one, and another one and finally the last roar sounded out before five dragons suddenly breached the could layer and flew down towards the ground, the dwarf and his companions were startled if not outright terrified as some of them struggled to get up and run away but were held in place by the wind sprits as the five dragons descended and began circling above the heads of the people gathered at the table as Azroth roared once more
[Who dares to question my master's authority!?]
From there the 'negotiations' continued smoothly and by evening the members of the Fire iron race was sent off out of the Wind sprits territory Mike walked over to the five dragons that now had transformed to a more human shape and spoke to Azroth
"So… You managed to gather four?"
Azroth nodded
[Yes master, these have agreed to follow you for 500 years as long as they acquire the same level of power I have been granted by you]
A red light flashed in Mike's eyes as he showed a smile, the task he had given Azroth was simple, it was to go back to his tribe and find some young and eager dragons that wanted more power and invite them to serve under Mike for a limited amount of time in exchange for set power
"Right… Then come over here and receive your new-found power"
Not that they would be capable of ending that service when their souls were sent to the hereafter and replaced with something darker, but that was the part of the contract that was written with small letters which they clearly had not read…
The next few weeks flew by as Mike focused on finding new dungeons for the wind sprits to raise their strength, already now a few of the wind sprits from the outside world had returned, they were battered and beaten from their journey but they seemed to light up when Mike personally told them 'well done' and ruffled their hair (all under Julie's watchful gaze of course) on the 16 days since the ascension the first dungeon was found and the wind spirits began making a travel tree, a travel tree was the real name for the tree which had allowed Mike and Julie to travel into the Wind sprit city, it functioned as a portal which linked tow places, as for the security problems this caused? There were none, for to use it a member of the Wind spirit race had to voluntarily give access to the network of portals, which meant that when they were enslaved or under captivity, they were unable to use the network, which was why they were such good guard dogs in the first place, they used impassable terrain as the best guard and patched holes in the perimeter with patrols
"Which is neat…"
Mike looked at the tree which was growing at a record pace, around evening it had formed an arch with an already existing tree and formed a portal back to the city
"Well then, let's dive in dear?"
"Sure Mike, let's go"
Mike and Julie had first creak at the dungeon, they too needed experience to reach level 8
