My city of Avalon was challenged into a war by the neighboring city.
The enemy had prepared an army of over 3000 soldiers. They had also gathered as part of their fighting force more than 30 hero-class adventurers.
Meanwhile, the monsters of Avalon didn’t even number a hundred. Clearly, there was vast difference with our fighting forces in terms of numbers.
During that seemingly desperate situation however, my monsters gave their all and won the war for me.
After Avalon had secured victory, we held a celebration party that lasted until the next morning.
Together with Kuina, Rorono, and Aura, I slipped out early from the celebration party and made use of the festive bustle as my lullaby for a peaceful sleep.
◇
Having reached a point I could put a pause on my worries, I had enjoyed, after a long while, a rather fresh awakening.
“Mmnya, Oto-san”
“Master… Orichalcum… Not enough…”
“Mufufu. Kuina-chan and Rorono-chan’s sleeping faces are the best. If they don’t wake up soon, I’m afraid I’ll end up doing some mischief.”
While they peacefully sleep-talked, Kuina the Celestial Fox and Rorono the Dwarf Smith each held to an arm of mine.
On the other hand, Aura the Ancient Elf who was already awake enjoyed the sight of their sleeping faces.
These three were my very important [Monsters of the Covenant]. They were my dear daughters.
“Ah, master, good morning.”
“You’re up quite early.”
“Yes. It’s because I have to go attend to the orchard soon.”
Aura who had already risen up greeted me so.
Appearing as though she was a girl in the middle of her teens, she looked quite older and more developed than the rest of the monsters I had made.
She wore as her nightwear a black negligee she had liked and then procured from another city. I would never think of doing anything indecent to her, my daughter, but in her current attire, it was proving rather difficult to keep my eyes from wandering.
Objectively speaking though, the black negligee suited Aura’s blond hair and jade-green eyes.
“Mornin’, Oto-san!”
Kuina woke up to the sound of our conversation and got up as well.
Her fox ears and tail were already so spry so early in the morning.
Kuina also wore a new pajama. Hers looked like some kind of penguin costume.
It suited the innocent and cute Kuina who appeared to be in the first half of her teens but for a fox to wear a penguin costume, I couldn’t help but ask what’s up with that.
“Oto-san, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing; it’s just that Kuina’s so cute”
“Yay ♪ I love you, Oto-san!”
Kuina then energetically embraced me and pressed her cheek against my chest, all while swinging her fox tail. Yeah, what does that matter when she’s this adorable?
“Kuina, you’re so noisy this early in the morning”
Rorono too awoke from the noise and got up.
As for her pajama, she prioritized practicality over appearance. Hers was an easy-to-breath-in pajama with soft materials. It looked like something she would really pick.
Nonetheless, it had drawn out the fairy-like charm of her slender body. Her being flat-chested wasn’t so bad.
“Master, it’s embarrassing if you stare at me like that.”
Rorono, the shy person that she was, blushed slightly.
“Sorry, it’s just that I thought your new pajama suited you and that you looked cute in it.”
“…thank you.”
She then reached her limit and bowed down to hide her face. Seeing her act like that almost made me want to tease her.
“By the way Oto-san, you still haven’t fulfilled your promise.”
“My promise?”
“Geez, your promise with Kuina! You said you’ll let Kuina touch your wings.”
“Oh yeah, I did promise that, didn’t I?”
By feeding on the souls of the thousands of soldiers who experienced utmost despair during the previous war, my power had increased tremendously.
Along with that was also the growth of my wings.
Ominous, jet-black wings that were covered by some kind of demonic coating.
As of this moment, the wings were nowhere to be seen.
When I had thought they were a hindrance, they disappeared. The tremendous power I gained however remained within me; I could feel it swirling within.
“Oto-san, let Kuina touch the wings now!”
“Master, I’m also interested in it.”
“Me too!”
The three looked at me with sparkling eyes. Can’t be helped.
“Alright, you can touch the wings as much as you want.”
For some reason, I instinctively knew just how to call out the wings.
And so, I focused my power into my back. The power locked within me then began to grow wild, heading to the back of my body. It felt as though it was going to burn me.
My senses then entered a heightened state, as though I was about to do battle.
“Woaaaahhhh, so cool!”
“It’s so imposing.”
“It suits you well, master.”
The wings grew out.
On that moment, my heart swelled and my power grew.
But then, my emotions were dyed black.
As though I was stirred up by something, I looked at my adorable girls.
I want to eat them up.
I want to mess them up.
I want to know how they’ll cry.
“Oto-san, you’re making a scary face.”
“…oh yeah?”
It was strange. These girls were my daughters and I never had such desires toward them.
I then wondered if it was an effect of the wings.
Regardless, I frantically tried to calm myself.
“Master’s power and magic power have jumped up quite a bit, yeah? I don’t know if even we can beat you in single combat anymore.”
“Mhm. It’ll be impossible without weapons. Such amazing power. I’m relieved though. Master becoming stronger also means he’s harder to kill.”
Aura and Rorono calmly analyzed my transformation.
“If you’re gonna touch the wings, do so quickly. This form’s a little bothersome.”
I myself didn’t know what I might do. It was dangerous.
“I see, so in exchange for the power you gain in that form, you experience pain? Is that right master?”
I just smiled in response to Aura’s query.
She was mistaken. Rather than being in pain, I was in ecstasy. However, I also became lustful, violent, and sadistic. Those kinds of negative emotions grew within me. The rotten, dark parts of me raged, wanting to come to the surface.
“Woah, the wings are so tough.”
“It is indeed strong. And cool”
“Yes, it’s quite sturdy and alluring.”
Like so, the girls touched and patted the wings.
“Okay, that’s enough. I can’t take it anymore.”
I wasn’t confident I could hold the negative emotions down anymore so I decided to end the transformation.
The most terrifying thing about this form was that I felt good in it. I feared that once I lost to this pleasant feeling and recognized this as my real self, I wouldn’t ever be able return back.
This isn’t who I am, I thought as I dreaded it might really become me.
“Okay, thank you, Oto-san!”
“Mhm, I’m satisfied.”
“I want to touch the wings again but if it brings master pain then, yes, that was enough.”
With all my efforts, I casted aside all these foul desires and made the wings vanish.
Okay, I’m back to normal. I am loving these girls as I should: as my precious daughters. Geez, what a dangerous power.
“Everyone, there are some things I’ve learned with that display just now. First, upon the emergence of those wings, my own fighting strength and magic power rise to absurd heights.”
There was no doubt about that.
At present, due to my connection with my three S rank [Monsters of the Covenant], my normal power levels were on par with the three. However, upon the emergence of those wings, my power levels exceeded even that of S rank monsters’; even that of my daughters’.
“That’s so amazing.”
“There’s more. I have also obtained an advanced form of [Creation] I can use if I make those wings come forth.”
[Creation] was my ability to materialize objects that were in my memory. It was very powerful by all rights but now, I had gained a power that was even stronger.
“That’s even more amazing, Oto-san. What does it do?”
“I have no idea; all I know right now is that it has awakened within me. I might know for sure once I try it out but… I’m afraid. I’m afraid that once I use it, I can’t change back ever again.”
All of my instincts warned me not to use it, that the very thing itself was a [Taboo]. Probably more than that, it felt to me that by using that power, my present self would cease to exist.
“If that’s the case, then I would say it’s better to just not use it. My master, no, Avalon’s master, you are strong even without that! So let’s not get involved with such dangerous things!”
I nodded to Aura’s statement.
I had made it this far with just the current [Creation] and the might of my reliable monsters. I shouldn’t rely on such a double-edged power.
“Okay, I have decided that I will only use those wings when the situation greatly calls for them. Situations that I hope would never come.”
The three girls agreed.
More than losing myself, I was afraid of my daughters getting hurt.
To avoid that, I decided to keep this power as my final trump card.
“You don’t have to look so apologetic, Oto-san! Kuina and the others are strong so it’ll be alright!”
“Especially after leveling up a lot in this war.”
“Yes, we’re invincible already.”
The three each gave a reliable reply.
They had leveled up a lot in the last war by being assigned to their own party. In a party where ten members were the maximum, experience points could be equally distributed among those members.
The first party was composed of five Darkness Dragons and Kuina.
The second party was composed of the other five Darkness Dragons and Wight.
The third party was composed of Aura and R’lyeh Diva.
The fourth group meanwhile wasn’t technically a party. It was composed of Rorono and the Avalon-Ritters she controlled. Avalon-Ritters then gave all the experience points gained to Rorono.
In other words, the experience points gained by the bombardment of the Darkness Dragons went to Kuina and Wight.
The experience points gained from the hero-class adventurers went to Aura and R’lyeh Diva.
And then, the experience points gained from the massacre of the magicians in the rear by the Avalon-Ritters went solely to Rorono.
Kuina and the others had leveled up in the [Crimson Cavern] to the point that they almost couldn’t level up anymore by the experience points available there. However, with this war, they had been able to level up tremendously.
At present, their levels could be mistaken even for the levels of an A rank monster who could grow.
“I’ll be relying on all of you, then.”
The three nodded and replied that I should leave it to them. Truly reliable children.
“We should get out of bed soon. We still have work to do after breakfast.”
“Sounds fun, Oto-san.”
“We have gained a lot in this war. We also have a treaty that prohibits the imposing of tariffs by the neighboring city. Of course there’s the large amount of experience points you all gained, making you all more powerful. And then, there are the corpses of the powerful humans.”
After we had breakfast, I planned on going to meet with Wight to see another spoil of war. Wight who had become a Black Dragon of Death, an S rank monster who ruled over death, had a very powerful ability: his [Enhanced Resurrection].
It was the strongest resurrection skill which allowed him to revive and control the dead. It also made the revived units have more strength than when they were alive.
Through this ability of his, Avalon would get a large amount of A rank monsters which, through normally means, we wouldn’t have been able to gather in such a short amount of time.
After all, to get an A rank monster, a Demon Lord had to use two A rank medals. They were beings even high-ranking Demon Lords would have trouble obtaining.
And so, we looked forward to seeing the undead with the flexibility and diversity of the hero-class humans in action.
TL note: Please remember that this is the start of a new volume/book. That means there will be details such as character and skill descriptions that must be told again so that readers who haven’t read the previous chapters and volumes in a while would be reminded. If you’re binge reading this, I ask that you show some patience. Thank you.

If I was Procell I would take Wight, Kuina and Kohaku along with Stolas and her parent the [Dragon] demon lord to see his parent March because I would be really worried about that power. He has wings like a dragon. Wight is now a dragon-type so I think this is that ??? effect that is seen on Wight as an effect of the rebirth. It might share power between the demon lord and the monster. Factoring in that Wight has Berserk from the dragon medal and I think this is the reason for his negative feelings.

This is one hell of a flag he’s set up. Now that he knows he has a special ability he must never use lest he lose himself forever, it’s pretty much certain he’ll be forced to use it sometime. And surely the love of his beloved daughters will work a miracle and bring him back. Though considering his mindset with the wings out, it’s a question of whether it’ll be warm and fuzzy love that brings him back, or if it’ll be a rather messier kind………

He’s in fact a demon a higher rank of being known as a Demon Lord so I understand if he feeds of negative energy he would indulge himself into ecstasy as that are demons pure self. The author followed up this type of demon feeding off negative essence from Western culture, seemingly those in Orthodox Church belief of demons feeding the negative emotions of humans given off of what they felt and experience. It can also be oriented in the author’s homeland of their myths transversing back in the ancient time of demons unseen or not hold the soul of their victims and suck the negative force their preys harboring feelings.

I think he should explain to them cause seriously his face is scary every time the wings come out and he gets some battle hunger running in his veins.
Also im pretty sure he would break Stolas or w/e Wind’s name is if he went to a winged humpin` session. She looks kinda thin and danty in the banner image where as he gets overhauled with the wings out.
Marco could handle it though. Even though she isnt described as Buff or anything, shes a Beastkin variant type demon lord as well as one of the strongest nearing her age limit. She could prolly gobble up Lolicell and then go for a jog even with his winged self buff as the ‘opponent’.

I wonder if those wings are like a moral compass. Kinda like in that fable game. It’s easy to go evil and get that power and its hard the other way. So the more good feelings he get from people like .01 G per 1000 compared to 1 E per 100 or something determines his wings and his power. Also expecting a name for Wight. Or will he say your name is already Wight.

thanks for the chapter
as with everyone else, i shall be putting in my own theory
Since he has wings, i’ll assume he’s becoming more demonic than he was before, or he is awakening the power that was within him all along. In the many novels i’ve read, creation was always touted as a godly power, so i’m assuming that the power he has will make him lose his mortal form and become a god, thereby becoming something that is no longer himself. He would be an evil god, thereby being unable to control himself and want to destroy the world
As on the theory of why he has wings in the first place
imma assume due to being a young demon lord, he’s still in a state of rapid growth
as such, due to having recieved the power from an overwhelming amount of people, he was not able to absorb all of this power, thus materializing into an untapped power source that is a combination of all the negative feelings that were found from the people in the war dying terrible deaths without any way to redeem themselves. They were slaughtered and shot in the back when trying to retreat. Other than the few who survived, the rest were either suffering the fate of being burned alive slowly, or watching their comrades die before their eyes, cursing the world for the fate they had before they were chopped to bits. So all these emotions that one would only experience in a slaughter were translated into a massive amount of power. While most of it is converted into dp, it doesn’t mean there are any flaws in the system and the whole fact that dp exists in it of itself means that there is a system which is changing the negative emotions into dp
tldr: wings will make him into a god thereby making him different

what if with his new power he could create life itself without the use of his medal like the Creator, or what if that power can bring someone else back to life, he said that he can only make things based on his memories but what if in those memories he remember someone and with the use of his new power he could bring them back, this are only my thoughts based on what he said about being it [taboo]
