[Kireina] has acquired the Title [False Goddess]!]

I should have expected this from happening anytime soon.

After killing the bandits of the Charcoal Village and bringing the villagers, we went through another four villages, Firelight Village, Spice Village, Steel Village, and Steam Village. Very weird names for a village, well humans are not really original either… Who would call their village "Orange"?

Anyways, only in the Firelight and Spice Villages were Bandits raiding or station, it seems that every bandit was related together somehow, being a member of a greater criminal organization in the Ashura Nation that controlled the villages very harshly.

The Villagers were then rescued while the bandits slaughtered mercilessly and then devoured, Ashura meat is delicious, I almost ate some Villagers by mistake, sorry about that.

[Kireina] learned the following Skill]

[Flame Bandit Technique; Four Blazing Arms Assault]

My children wanted to take a nap, and because there isn't any day and night in this place, I decided to rest for some hours while I hunted some monsters around, the villagers who were resting inside of my portable houses had been well fed and even took relaxing baths inside.

We rested in the area closer to the Steam Village, and just like its name, the place was filled with lava hot springs that released high amounts of hot boiling water and steam everywhere. There were a lot of boiling water rivers and a small lake. Aside from drinking the blood of monsters, I suppose that this is where they obtain their water, although it's boiling, the villagers just extract it and then let it cool down at lower temperatures.

Well, lower temperatures here are still almost boiling, as this place is incredibly hot.

Inside of the boiling rivers and lakes, there were plenty of fish-like lifeforms that made up their homes here. A lot of species resembled large and spherical fishes from Earth, like the Pufferfish. I wonder if they would do a funny-sounding noise if I gave them carrots, probably not.

Anyways, they were nothing compared to the monsters in the dungeon and I hunted down everything inside the lakes. I was rather bored, and hunting and eating strange new monsters was the only thing to do before my children woke up.

Ah, the Giant Pufferfish was spicy, is it the poison inside? I still ate a bunch, their meat was incredibly tender and juicy, the spiciness of the poison just made it more enjoyable with some wine. Some villagers admired as how we hunted and ate the monsters they feared so much with such ease, this only made them offer more prayers to us. I shared some of the meat, after cleaning the poison, they enjoyed it.

[Day 178]

After my children woke up, we had a quick breakfast with the Giant Pufferfish meat, the Blazing Ashura villagers were well feed as well, by using my abilities, it wasn't hard to extract the poison of the meat. The resulting meat was tender white, with a delicious salty fish flavor. It was so soft that it could even be said to be creamy.

We moved towards the next few villages while exterminating Bandits, we encountered a lot of bandit caravans as well, they were easily slaughtered, even the strongest of them were killed with Vudia's bare hands. It was a nice practice session for them to level up their physical techniques.

I let some of the villagers slaughter the bandits as well, with all of my boosting spells, they were able to fight them without any weapon on their own, beating each bandit to death with their avenging punches. It must feel pretty bad to get beaten to death by an old grandpa with barely any muscle on his arms.

It was around 3 PM, and we had already "liberated" five villages, we had now a massive army of thousands of villagers following us. Bandits kept pilling up more and more, so I had to eat them all by myself on my Slime form.

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[Kireina] gained 312.662.990 EXP]

[LEVEL 055/250 EXP 0.851.743.053/9.850.000.000 EXP]

[Kireina] learned the following Skill]

[Blaze Berserker Technique; Firestorm Axe Whip]

A lot of other races slaves were also "freed", although they only changed owners with me. But well, any treatment that is better than what they were getting before would be seen as "freeing" them, they were healed and well feed.

Amiphossia was working very hard to attend every Ashura, but her compassionate heart was beating with excitement, she was probably thinking that she was born to help the weak.

As we approached the new couple of villages… Something strange appeared in front of us, more bandits… Huh? They are holding villagers as hostages, what a pain.

Borkus, the leader of the Hungry Savages Criminal Organization, and the one behind all of the bandit attacks in the villages saw himself in a predicament.

The few spies that he possessed, came rushing with horrible news.

It seems that the villages he was occupying with his bandits were being raided, by a new group of foreigners. They were mostly all women, with various races that didn't exist down here.

To make things worse, the foreigners were incredibly strong, held amazing healing magic, and were accompanied by the Exiled Prince, Ashura.

By saving the people from the bandits with their god-like powers and with Ashura's guidance, the foreigner group had managed to recruit every villager and mobilized them in a massive group of people, slowly taking over villages, killing every bandit and then taking the villagers.

In just a day, more than ten villages were taken like this and left as ghost towns. The loss of men was astonishing for Borkus, who began to tremble in fear and rage.

"What the fuck is this?! Who are these people?! Why are they taking the villagers?!"

The spies surrounding Borkus moved aside, to not get caught in the giant Blazing Ashura's rage. Borkus raised his four axes as he swung them around like a maniac, some of the spies didn't manage to move in time and were slaughtered.

After seeing the shredded corpses in the ground, he burned them to ashes with his magic, and once again sat down on his chair, made out of Ashura's and other demi-human races bones.

"Contact the nobles and the royal family! Report these incidents, so they can do something… This group is absurdly strong and can realistically pose a threat to the nation… For now, gather everyone, we will ambush them and see how really strong they are. Those nobles should bring their own reinforcements as well. If we join hands, I'm sure that we can manage, after all, we are the strongest Ashura…"

Borkus then drank a glass filled with black-colored wine.

"Haahh…! It is lamentable that those bastards died, but we can recover more bandits later on… With the nobles that are backing us up to help, we should be able to manage… And like you guys said, there are pretty women in the group, right? I'm going to rape them until they cannot even remember their names! Gahaha! Get ready, assholes!"

"Y-Yes, Borkus sama"

Just as Borkus had said, the Hungry Savages was a criminal organization that was made to control the outside villages and their resources, while also providing fresh slaves every year for the nobles to enjoy. Although Blazing Ashuras were very primitive compared to humans, they were incredibly similar to them in various ways.

However, Borkus had completely underestimated Kireina and her group strength, and would soon lament his mistake…

Oh, this group wasn't only bandits, but countless soldiers and armed warriors were there, are they from the Nation? So, it's just as Ashura said, these bandits, named the "Hungry Savages" are indeed working for the nobles of the three cities in the Ashura Nation. This reminds me of humans already.

The Bandits were led by a guy named Borkus, he was a Giant Blaze Ashura, an evolved Ashura. It has three times the size of a normal Ashura, being over four meters tall, he held four red-colored axes in each arm, his body was filled with scars, he seems like a guy experienced in battles, but his face was that of a pervert, he glanced at my family with nasty intentions, bad choice.

Flash!

We didn't even approach enough and I released a wave of my Aura, instantly affecting the Ashura awaiting, some of the mages in the back created magic shields but these were just eaten by my Aura. I had recently gone back to my fairy form, so the bandits were surprised after seeing my deadly presence, coming from such a frail figure.

With my family, we ran towards the bandits, who were paralyzed, bleeding, vomiting, gouging their eyes out in pain, and so on, and we slaughtered them. Borkus seemed to be able to resist my Aura, so he tried to attack me directly with a display of techniques.

This guy had an Aura of his own and used it to enhance his body internally, similar to Ryo. However, he was still an amateur on this.

"Your Aura does not affect me, butterfly woman!!! Gahaha! Now let me shop off your limbs so you can escape from me! Afterward, we will have plenty of fun together!"

"Ugh, that's disgusting, you know?"

"Eh? You are calling the great Borkus, disgusting?! DIE! I will violate your corpse!"

"You are the corpse, you're already dead"

"Huh? Bugeeeh…!"

Borkus then exploded as countless small Blood Spears came outside of his body, a bloody rain showered the bandits present, who were somehow expecting me to get beaten, don't make me laugh.

Oh? How did I do this without even touching him?

I just used Blood Magic, manipulated the Blood inside of his body, and shapeshifted it into small, needle-like spears.

It's easy to do when you are fighting small fry, the Dungeon Bosses had stronger physiques so this method was not convenient or realistically possible, but against these ants, I can have some fun and try out things that I always wanted to do when I saw them on Earth's TV shows and Anime.

"Haha! I even said the legendary line! Who's next?!"

After seeing my crazed expression and their leader exploding to death, every bandit that was still conscious tried to run away. Hundreds of tough-looking guys were running for their lives, terrified by such a cute and delicate-looking fairy like me.

"Gyaaah! A Demon! A Demon!"

"She can control blood?! She must be from a Demon Country!"

"Fuck! Retreat Re-Buugyaaaa!!!"

Of course, as they showed me their backs, it was even easier to kill them as I did with Borkus.

"You're already dead! You're already dead! You're already dead! Haha! I always wanted to do this!"

As I let loose of my maniac side, the villagers glanced at me with admiration, while discussing an important topic.

"She is not only benevolent but a war goddess!"

"Look how she slaughters them all with just a thought of her mind! She is really a goddess of death!"

"No! She is a goddess of blood! Don't you see how she can manipulate the blood?!"

My family also let loose of some of their boredom, hundreds of easy dummies to beat to death was a nice therapeutic form to cure boredom.

After the slaughter-fest, where not even the soldiers of the nobles were sparred, we feasted on the corpses and then proceeded through the Lower Realm, reaching more villages to "liberate". These should be the last ones.
