Having been blessed with a Material Body by their new master and grew even further than their previous strength provided. They had followed their Progenitor to serve whoever masters that call upon them and were taken aback by the sheer scope of their new master who easily gave all of them the opportunity to have a Material Body.
They are Daemon and as such they spontaneously come into being within the Daemon Realm, where they endlessly fight each other. At times they might be summoned into the Material World, where they require a Material Body to remain permanently or they will get ejected back into the Daemon Realm by the rejection force of the Material World.
Daemons have an innately strong resistance to magic, and while without a physical body, they can use a temporary medium made out of magicules known as a "Magic Body" to interact with the material plane. This magic body makes physical attacks borderline useless against them, as even if damaged, they can simply revert it back to its original shape.
Once a Daemon is incarnated into a physical vessel, their energy sublimates inside of it and begins transforming into something truly their own. Their body, however, does not retain the same benefits as a purely magical corpus as physical attacks are able to harm them. In particular, purely natural effects-such as those produced by Elementals-are especially effective against them, as their resistance towards magic is rendered meaningless.
However, even this downside of having their body possibly harmed gave them a massive boost in power and remained in the Material world permanently. Daemons gain stronger power as they live longer.
Daemons who have reached a certain level reach the upper limit of the amount of possessed magicules, eventually making them numerically equivalent in terms of raw power. Knowledge and experience are the things that matter from there. In other words, the difference in proficiency becomes the difference in combat ability.
They rank by status starting from Late Modern Species
(Chevalier), Modern Species (Baronet), Early Modern Species (Baron), Medieval Species (Viscount), Ancient Species (Count), Pre-historic Species (Marquis), Pre-historic Species (Duke), Pre-historic Species (Arch Duke), and finally Primordials.
Most were Arch-Duke upon arrival and evolved into Arch Daemon which was amazing and all of the Primordials became Daemon Lord. They were unaware that their master could have increased their strength if he had stronger and more souls to collect to use in turning every primordial into a Devil Lord or Demonic God that has the potential to be on equal footing to a True Dragon.
"Dimensional travel? Do you intend for us to travel to another world, my lord?" Melascula asked, knowing that traveling toward weaker worlds has the risk of destroying them upon arrival as the sheer power they possessed would explode the entire world.
The Central Axis World is at the top of any other world making it extremely durable as it has been blessed with the energy that permeates since the dawn of existence.
Meaning, if an average soldier came to another world then their energy has the risk of destroying an entire town considering how fragile it is. Now imagine a True Dragon and Arch Daemon were to visit the world. Though, Erix only uses what Velgrynd described if she unleashed her power within the universes she visited at that time in the story.
"I'm curious what other worlds are like." Vermeil was more fixated on the world rather than the effect of their visit. She believed that their master had ways of avoiding something like that.
"I've already gone to another world without destroying but I understand where you're getting. I'll simply add a spatial barrier to trap the energy within you while also suppressing it."
Erix snapped his fingers and instantly cast some spell that would avoid destroying the Parallel Earths. He does recall that being True Dragon made it impossible to find a parallel version of himself because he is already a being that transcends the natural flow of time and space meaning he cannot be easily killed by going back in time and killing him.
Ultimate skills like [ Lord of Space-time, Yog-Sothoth ] can affect even true dragons, and the reason why Chole was able to return and change the time stream. Erix pondered how the timeline is when he exists as an anomaly but decided not to think too hard and believed that things might be different.
"Do you have any idea what kind of world, Earth is?" Erix knew they were Pre-historic Species meaning they should at least be aware of a few words. But they quickly shook their heads and recalled that they have little interest in what is happening from the outside world unless summoned.
He thought that they at least were someone and learned about otherworlder. Erix didn't think too much and recalled how Velgrynd described other worlds as other universes instead of simply planets that have their own laws. Then again his memories are hazy and not everything is clear, especially since the world they were in doesn't have much of the story he read.
"Guess that's fine. [ Dimensional Gate ]"
Erix held out his hand and the portal appeared similar to [ Gate ] spell but he connected it to another dimension where he naturally understood where it led and stepped inside while Melascula and Vermeil followed behind him where the two were shocked upon witnessing the entire space filled with ever-changing and fluctuating imagery that appeared akin to kaleidoscope unable to grasp the sight yet for their master it was clear and beautiful scenery where it was countless spherical universe representing entirely different reality.
Vermeil and Melascula were far too weak to comprehend it unless they transcend and reach the pinnacle of their power within the Tensura multiverse. Erix saw many universes with each connected to the Central Axis World seemingly the highest and center of all universes where he saw an infinite number of universes that stretched far.
'Arryn, can you analyze the universe for me?' Erix asked curious if it was possible to scan the universes and gave him information about them like their power system and other rules. He decided to give up thinking this is the same as the stories read having been changed and altered in ways he is not able to understand.
[ I've scanned those close by and seem to most of them to be weak universes that have Earth from the modern to primitive era. Their space-time axis seems vastly different from the central axis where some are faster while others are slower. In addition, some have dimensions within the universe like how the central Axis world has Daemon, Spirit, and Heaven realm. Along with pocket dimensions like Dungeons. ] Arryn answered and Erix rubbed his chin.
'Is this place like space between space?' Erix saw that they were within a gap of universes similar to the dimensional Gap in Draconic Deus.
{ Most likely a tunnel between universes while outside this tunnel is a void, a place that is probably similar to the end of space and time at the edge of creation. It might be filled with nothingness Energy } Amaia decided to join their conversation.
[ Hey, I was about to answer that. ] Arryn is slightly annoyed at her sister.
{ Can't blame me for chiming in when I feel left out. } Amaia shamelessly said while Erix chuckled a bit.
'Then, Amaia, do you think any of this world is interesting to visit?' Erix asked.
{ From what my sister scanned, all of them are quite weak and don't give much benefit even if we destroy them and consume the soul won't give much since they are too weak. However, with our help, we can devour the universe and then convert them into pure Magicule allowing Artificial Awakening and by using [ Lord of Desire, Cxaxukluth ] would make it more possible. } Amaia gave her thoughts and Erix thought about it looking at the world.
'Really? Well, let's do that later since it is best for everyone to get used to their current power to improve their control and skills.' Erix thought that if they don't have training with their current skills and desire for more strength then it would be difficult to make their unique skill into ultimate skill.
"Master?" Erix regained his senses as Vermeil spoke, looking at him pondering what he was thinking.
"Ah, sorry, I was just talking to Amaia and Arryn. Anyway, you girls get ready." Erix said as he began to look around the universes.
'Amaia, is the earth in this Universe placed in the modern era?' Erix asked looking at the universe that should theoretically expand infinitely within the three dimensional space similar to how a piece of paper has an infinite division within it and that would be a 2 dimension plane space. Now imagine a 3 dimensional sphere having infinite dividing space within it. That is how one becomes Transfinite.
[ It is, there won't be much problem if you jumped into that universe. ] Arryn reassured as Erix nodded and opened the gate towards the universe creating a tunnel and went inside it where Vermeil and Melascula followed him as they immediately arrived within the orbit of Earth.
"Is this lord old world?" Melascula asked sensing every lifeform to be human and she simply fascinated them. She even considered turning the entire place to be under his rule once they arrived but Melascula is quite lazy and would use human puppets instead.
"Interest, a lot of new things to explore! Let's go, master!" Vermeil was eager to explore the world and Erix shrugged it off. Amaia and Arryn were slightly jealous but seeing both of them are always with Erix didn't think it much. Erix opened another space gate and appeared on top of a building as Vermeil walked on the railing seeing the beautiful light coming from the stall and building.
"Wow! This place looks amazing! Master, master! Will you conquer this world too?" Vermeil acted like a kid that was rather adorable and Erix chuckled.
"Of course, Vermeil. Master is the rightful ruler of this world and humans might end themselves without the proper Emperor ruling them." Melascula looked down on humans and was indifferent to their lives unless they served a purpose to their master.
"I am planning to, you two will try to stir and make this world part of our empire but also try to eliminate if there is any other invader in this world." Erix knew that entities like phantoms came from the underworld, a world that was specifically for Ivaraj, the World Destroying Dragon. Melascula and Vermeil nodded.
"Anyway, your clothes don't match in this world, here." Erix uses his power to change their clothes, and both of them inspect the clothes.
"Oh, this outfit looks great! What do you think, Melascula?" Vermeil asks as she twirls her body letting Erix see her curves wearing a Short Black One piece dress that shows her body.
"It is beautiful, but I think mine is better." Melascula teases her showing a bit to Erix wearing a similar dress but white instead.
"Alright, let's see what this place has to offer." Erix said as they vanished from their spot and reappeared in an alleyway where they were greeted by people walking around. Vermeil's eyes shine brightly seeing the colorful places and Erix smiles letting her be as they all explored the place. Erix appeared to be in South Korea and already bought some street food as they were sightseeing.
He made sure to transfer some common sense to them to avoid causing a scene and watch them "Buying" or rather stealing them by manipulating their mind with magic. Erix noticed a few people eyeing the two of them but didn't care since they'll die anyway and he thought of a soul snack for the two.
"Hey, you two stay here if anyone tries to take you then have a quick snack with their soul but make no one see you." Erix said and the two nodded as he vanished and appeared at an alley looking at four women and two men. One of the men seemed to be assaulting a blonde chick while her friend was helpless.
"I wonder how Touch Me reacts to this situation. That righteous fool….but then again I can't blame him. A world full of darkness and gray will be quite boring. It's always fun to act like a hero from time to time." He uncaringly said as they all looked at him.
