"W-what do you mean, Ren?" Peter asked Oz.

(That idiot...) (Peter)

(Hm? He's skilled enough to flee in the instant I cover the room with my mana, huh) (Oz)

"I somehow sensed that you waited for me to wake up because of another reason too, isn't that right?" Oz closes his eyes and said.

"........." Peter stay silent for a while.

Sigh

"Nothing pa.s.ses your eyes, huh..." Peter could only sigh.

"Thank you for the compliment. So? What's do you need from me, Peter?" Oz's eyes suddenly went sharp as he said the words.

"Actually..." (Peter)

"You need some help? Or something similar to that?" (Oz)

"Yea... I need your help," (Peter)

"So what do you need my help for, Peter? Killing your enemies? Or usurping the throne?" (Oz)

!!!???

"H-how do you-" (Peter)

"You could ask me anything, Peter. Or should I say, your majesty, Grandaria king?" Oz said with his usual smirk imprinted on his face.

Whoos.h.!.+

A knife suddenly got flew towards Oz at a high speed, but Oz evades it easily while having his eyes shut closed. The knife comes from Peter's back, but Oz couldn't sense the presence of the thrower, but the intense murderous intent he felt when he said Peter's real ident.i.ty could still be felt.

"You got a good guard, Peter," Oz couldn't help but admit.

Peter raised his right hand, and the murderous intent Oz felt immediately vanished as if it's not there at all.

"Since when?" (Peter)

"Hm?" (Oz)

"Since when do you noticed?" Peter asked Oz with a face that shows how eager he is to know the answer.

"To be honest, your act is too shallow. I knew it from the start," (Oz)

"From the start!?" Peter exclaimed in surprise.

(Hm... I think I don't need to tell him that I could use [Appraisal]) (Oz)

"Yea, Just by looking at your expression every time anything concerning the kingdom is mentioned, it's obvious, especially if the 'King' name is mentioned," (Oz)

"Well, one of your flaws is that guard of yours, though. He's strong, but because of his strength, people who strong enough could notice him because he always unintentionally leaked his murderous intent every time you're in danger, Sen," (Oz)

"...It's that obvious, huh..." Peter said, looking depressed.

"Yup," (Oz)

Peter sighs.

"Actually Ren, I intended to test whether you're trustworthy or not by this request, and then I'll tell you my ident.i.ty after confirming you're trustworthy," (Peter)

"But it turns out that you've already known my real ident.i.ty, huh," (Peter)

"So what? Will you silence me because I know your real ident.i.ty?" Oz asked with his eyes closed as if he doesn't even care if what he said is true.

"I won't. I believe in you, well that's not the only reason, though," (Peter)

"Hm? The other reasons are?" (Oz)

"If you aim for money or power, you could have already gone to some n.o.ble that on the opposite faction of me and my mother and sold me off. But you didn't do so, that fact alone is enough for me to trust you, Ren," Peter said with full of confidence.

"I see... That's true. But Sen, do you trust the others?" (Oz)

"Hm... I do trust them, but I'm not that convinced yet. I think I need more time before I could tell them my real ident.i.ty. My little sister included," (Peter)

"Ah! I forgot, she's your sister, huh..." Oz couldn't help but remember that ice princess.

"Anyway, that's such a shame, Peter. The problem is I'm not the only one who realized your ident.i.ty," (Oz)

"Huh!? W-what do you mean, Ren!?" (Peter)

"Hm? Maybe Albus and that icy princess haven't realized, but Sen, Edreale, and especially Alfred are very sharp, you know? I believe they noticed that I realized your ident.i.ty too but I stay silent, that's why they decided to feign ignorance about it too," (Oz)

"I see..." Peter suddenly got absorbed by his thoughts. Concern and anxiety could be seen in his expression.

"Relax, Peter. They're a mighty ally that you definitely could trust. They're a bit rough, but they won't betray you. In my case, I might not always in your range for you to ask my help, but I believe you'll always find them easily even in the future," (Oz)

"If you say that much about them, I don't have any reason to don't trust those words..." Said Peter as a satisfied and relieved smile imprinted on his face.

"Okay, back to where we start. What do you need from me, Peter?" (Oz)

****************************************************

A lot of things changed and got upgraded at the Tarot because of the dungeon core upgrade and the dungeonification. All of the buildings at the Tarot empire got upgraded, from the castles, walls until the civilians' house.

Most upgrades occurred in the imperial capital. The imperial castle suddenly got a lot of automatic defense systems, from the statue guards until the castle walls have its own defense systems.

But to Oz's surprise, the things that got upgraded are not only the buildings but all of Oz's subjects too. The undead, Centaur, kobolds, lizardfolk, and other races who have a form that far from human's appearance suddenly gain the ability to change their appearance to a human form.

The symptoms that happen to the undead lately like their sudden ability to taste foods might be one of the signs of the current occurrence. But even though they could change themselves to a human form, there are some consequences they must pay, their stamina and their power became limited. They could only use up to 80% of their real power when they're in the human form.

But the upgrades didn't give them that ability alone, they got a lot of other upgrades too. Their raw power, their talent, their mana, all of them got enhanced greatly that even Oz got shocked. All of them got a different skill that very useful for them, even civilians that not part of the soldiers, guards, or knights got some skills too.

Slime Oz remembers the reports he received and couldn't help but felt relieved again.

"I'm grateful there is no bad news, it's normal to think that good news always comes with bad news, luckily a h.o.a.rd of good news came but not a single bad news inside the kingdom appeared aside from the case with the demons, how fortunate..." Slime Oz mutters to himself.

Currently, Slime Oz is facing the imperial dungeon core. Slime Oz had instructed Demon Oz to investigate the demons on the far south and check on the situation since Demon Oz had already set him as one of the administrators.

"Now, let's see the dungeon shop," (Slime Oz)

Slime Oz touched the imperial dungeon core and a big floating board appeared before him, Slime Oz touched the dungeon shop tab immediately, and a huge list of things that could be bought with dungeon points appeared.

"W-what the... As expected, this is so awesome!" Slime Oz couldn't help but rejoice.

The list shows some monsters, soldiers, facilities, magic items, magic weapons, and even a variety of golems are on the list.

"Hm... I see... I see... Let's buy the things we need the most first..." (Slime Oz)

***********************************************************

At the different world that far from the Ablux continent and filled with darkness, malice, and death.

A world that holds a very dense amount of death mana.

A world that filled with bones and death.

Inside a huge and terrifying castle, a figure is sitting on a throne.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Great!!! To think the empire will get such an unexpected boost on construction and power!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! What a joyous occasion!!!" The figure suddenly said.

"M-master... W-what exactly happened? You fainted for 4 whole days," Manistrode the mummy king asked his master.

"Hm? My body went for some upgrades, that's why I rest for several days. Hm? Malistrode, it seems that you got a boost on power too, huh," (Lich Oz)

"Yes, master. I suddenly got a huge boost on my power and I suddenly got several skills and the ability to transform to a form similar to a human," (Malistrode)

"Indeed, I believe all of our soldiers got upgraded too," (Lich Oz)

"I-it's true, master. How do you know that? I haven't even told you yet," (Malistrode)

"I just know, Malistrode. Just consider it as an ability of a supreme ruler," (Lich Oz)

"as expected of you, master..." Malistrode said as he kneels in front of Lich Oz.

"Stand, Malistrode. As we got a boost on power, it's time to continue our world domination," (Lich Oz)
