Looking at Shuna who was now limp and weak, Draco gently took off her clothes; they were all wet, and it wouldn't be good if she caught a cold.
He picked her up and teleported to a luxurious bathhouse.
Draco washed her himself, which made Shuna extremely shy.
"Master, I... I'm fine now..."
She hung her head, blushing, her eyes hazy, letting Draco do as he pleased.
Draco acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to rub shower gel on her on his own.
I'm a good family man, what's wrong with giving my woman a bath?
By the time everything was cleaned up, it was nearly dawn.
Draco placed Shuna, who had become limp and weak again, on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and gently stroked her beautiful hair.
"Sleep, we'll talk about anything else tomorrow."
"Mm..."
After Shalltear and Albedo returned, the two of them crawled in, one on the left and one on the right, snuggling tightly against Draco.
...
The next morning, Draco woke up from his sleep.
Looking at the three of them quietly clinging to him, Draco gently shook them awake.
"Ugh..."
The three of them rubbed their hazy eyes, yawned, and sat up.
Albedo lay lazily in Draco's arms, squinting her beautiful eyes, "Master, morning~"
"Morning." Draco smiled, flicked her cute nose, and said softly, "Get up quickly, I still have quite a few things to handle today."
"Got it!"
The three got up, put on their clothes, and after breakfast, Shuna was taken by Draco to the giant arena on the Sixth Floor, and Shalltear and Albedo followed out of curiosity.
"Shuna, first try using magic to see what the effect is."
"Okay."
A gorgeous magic circle rose under her feet, and a fireball was thrown toward a dummy in the distance.
"Boom!"
The fireball exploded, and the dummy was blasted into charcoal.
The power didn't seem much different from before, but the construction of the magic formula had become much smoother.
Moreover, when Shuna mobilized the Magicules in her body, her temperament changed slightly, like a noble goddess, full of a majestic Aura that was awe-inspiring and dared not be profaned.
Draco had been keeping an eye on the changes within Shuna's body.
Whenever Magicules flowed through the blood vessels in her body, that golden rune in the Magic Core would light up with brilliant radiance; the radiance would attach itself to the Magicules, making the circulation of Magicules in her body completely unimpeded.
Afterward, Draco had Shuna sense the surrounding Magicules and try to actively absorb it, thereby increasing the amount of Magicules in her body through this method.
Shuna also started to try, just as Draco said.
Spiritual power began to surge, and in an instant, gusts of wind swirled around.
"Whoosh~~"
Violent Magicules flooded into Shuna's body as she infused it with her spiritual power.
The moment the Magicules entered her body, the Golden Rune flashed with a dazzling glow. Protected by the golden light, the Magicules was smoothly guided into her Magic Core.
Shuna's amount of Magicules increased slightly.
Draco was delighted.
"As expected of the King of Wisdom, it actually worked."
The most critical part of this experiment was that Golden Rune, a magic rune Draco had never seen before.
According to Rimuru, this was a simplified version of the Storm Protection effect created by the King of Wisdom by combining the traits of the Storm and the Gluttony King.
As long as it was carved into the Magic Core, the target could obtain a portion of the Storm attribute's authority.
However, the risk factor was quite high; one wrong move could shatter the Magic Core, leading to immediate death.
Furthermore, the operator not only needed extensive magical knowledge but also absolute control over their own power.
These requirements for the caster were extremely demanding.
If the Great Sage were to operate it, it would naturally be effortless.
But Shuna's Soul Corridor couldn't connect to Rimuru's side. Fortunately, Draco had the "Magic Mastery" skill and his own profound magical knowledge, allowing him to draw such an extraordinarily complex rune.
Combined with Draco's "Absolute Summon," even if the experiment failed and Shuna truly perished, Draco could resurrect her.
She would just have to endure the torment of the modification a few more times.
If he hadn't been completely certain, Draco wouldn't have used Shuna as the first subject for the experiment.
The results were gratifying, and Draco was very satisfied.
This way, the growth speed of the Majins under his command would rapidly increase.
Shalltear and Albedo watched from the side in constant amazement.
"Master, can we learn this method of becoming stronger?" Shalltear asked expectantly.
Hearing this, Albedo also showed a look of longing in her eyes.
Their levels had already reached the cap of Lv100, and since their evolution systems were different, even if they could absorb Magicules, it would at most be converted into MP in their bodies.
Draco shook his head. "Don't even think about it. Once I find a way to break the Lv100 limit, you'll naturally be able to get stronger then."
"Alright," Shalltear said, somewhat disappointed.
If she were stronger, then at night, hehehe... The Magicules around Shuna gradually vanished, and her absorption stopped.
She hugged Draco with a look of surprise. "Master, I feel like I've become a little bit stronger."
"Then keep working hard and strive to break through to the Demon Lord Species soon. I'll have a surprise for you then," Draco encouraged, patting Shuna's back.
"Yes, I will definitely work hard," Shuna said firmly.
"However, the Magicules in Nazarick all flows in naturally from the outside, so the concentration isn't high."
"At your current absorption rate, this amount of Magicules is a bit low. You'll need to find another place to cultivate."
Draco rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.
It seemed that only deep within the cave where Veldora was sealed would the concentration of Magicules be high enough for Shuna to improve rapidly.
"I'm taking Shuna to the Jura Tempest Federation. Are you two coming?"
"Yes!" x2
The two had been cooped up in the Great Tomb for a long time. Now that they finally had a chance to go out, they were definitely going to follow.
"Then let's go..."
"Bang! Boom!"
Before he could finish, a booming sound came from the distant horizon.
"Awooo~~"
The Charybdis let out a miserable cry.
Its massive body was sent flying by a normal punch from Milim, crashing into a distant cliff.
"Uh..."
Draco's mouth twitched; Milim wasn't tired of playing yet.
"Ahahaha! Bold monster, why don't you surrender yet?!"
Milim clenched her fists, looking excited.
Below, Aura shouted with some heartache.
"Milim! You're not allowed to hit my sandbag!"
Meanwhile, Mare ran to the cliff that had been smashed by the Charybdis.
He activated a large-scale Earth magic, restoring the damaged mountain.
"This girl... looks like I need to find something for her to do."
"Or, maybe I should just throw Milim into the Jura Tempest Federation."
Draco silently gave himself a thumbs up for his wit.
It's hard to end this without getting married.
