Chapter 273: Moving To Core Region
Alros then turned his attention the women he captured a long time ago, specifically from the settlements he destroyed. Aside from taking their first time, and playing with them during the first few weeks, he now barely touch them, letting his clones do that in his stead.
So, it surprised the demon when he realized they are now considered D-rank women. As he is unsure how women are graded, he could only speculate.
"It's probably the mixture of beauty, bed skill, and strength," he mused to himself. After all, all the powerful women have high-ranks, giving him tons of LP while very there are only few non-fighters at B-ranks. Sure, the numbers are already small, but there are less than 10 of non-conbatant B-ranks.
"Now that I think about it, the Duchess, the two concubines and their children are B-ranks as well. Does that means being of high-birth also contribute?" it is a thought to be sure. After all, the women of the Hex Noble Family are all beautiful so it maybe of coincidence, but he can never be sure.
While he would prefer to know the reasoning behind the ranking of the women, he is contend with the current knowledge. At least he could effect it to some degree. Namely by buying some beauty potions, and creams, or anything related to enhancing the beauty of a woman, really.
Maybe he would no longer have D-rank women. After all, the only E-rank women he has are the one that had been captured in Furim City. The only who had been following him longer had all reach the D-rank, with some even managing to jump and become C-rank.
In fact, all of his women had jump a rank, at least for the D-rank and C-rank. As for B-rank, he had no doubt the jump from B to A is a lot harder. However, that does not mean he will stop trying. After all, if his estimate is correct, then a single A-rank woman will give him 25 000 LP, which is a lot.
He then pushed the thought of the women ranking set up by the Demon God of Lust and focused on the more important matter.
"Let's get out of her before it is too late,"

Thankfully, while he was busy experimenting, his women had already enter the system space. His witches had done a good job with managing the others, so he ought to reward them soon.
"Thankfully the clones should be done in about 4 more days. I can't wait to see if they can handle the new batch or not," he still a bit sour that his clones were defeated by the libido of the elder witches, wringing some of them dry.
With all of them inside the system space, he first planned to fly into the deeper part, but changed his mind at the last second.
[ Master, are you going to walk into the core region of Lunos Forest? ]
Alros did not know whether to be he should be insulted by her surprised tone or not.
"Yes. If I flew all the way to the center, I might miss some powerful monsters around here. That's why I only few a short distance away," he explained. Though, the short distance is mostly to bypass the area that had been stripped clean by his monsters, leaving no monsters in the said area.
Only after flying across the area did he began walking.
"Hopefully there are strong monsters in the area or I am doing this for nothing," he grumbled. Currently, he had spread out his Phantom Wasps as his eyes and ears in the area, to cover more ground. He also control the Demonic aura he emanate so the monsters will not run away from him.
With this measure, he hope to capture some monsters, even if they are just weakling.

"At least this is not a total lost," Alrso tried to console himself. He had already caught about 5 different Goblin tribes, 3 Orc tribes, 2 Lizardmen tribes and 4 Kobold tribes.
However, while they are good addition to his current strength, there are no powerful monsters like Ogres. Though, he did,manage to get some Alpha Lizardmen from the Lizardman tribes, so there is that. Plus there are some other B-rank monsters in the tribes as well, so it not a total waste of time.
"Looks like stronger monsters would be located at the core region. I should fly up to see the distance," he talked to himself before flying upward. Enjoy new stories from m-v l'e|m,p| y- r
When he reach a high enough attitude, Alros could spot a large tree in the distance. Though calling it large did not do it justice. It's height alone could touch equal to some mountains, with its trunk big enough to put an entire town on it.
He did not know what is the large tree is, but he assume it is an important part of Lunos Forest. Yet, when he was about to fly to the large tree, his instinct blared at him, telling how much of a bad idea that is.
"What is that tree? Plus, how can I not see it before?" he questioned himself. Thinking about it, the tree is clearly abnormal in that he could not see it until now. Does only the strong could see it? Or does one need to be near enough to see the majestic tree.
He did not know the answer but he do know he will keep his distance until he is strong enough. After all, for it to be able to not be seen by him until now show it to some degree could cast powerful illusion.
'Yeah, let's not mess with the very powerful tree yet,' he thought before slowly descending. Looks like his decision to walk did he some good.

As the demon descended to the forest, green eyes stare at the distance, looking at the demon with wary eyes. Seeing it going to back to the forest, the figure let out a sigh of relief before turning its gaze to monster.
The monster looked like a giant lizard but it is far larger, the size of a large tree. It's skin are the same color and patterns as barks. While it's anatomy is similar to a lizard, most of the people in this world would recognize the creature as another species entirely.
Dragon.
The figure placed a hand on the monster's head, before waves of information flood the creatures brain. The dragon nodded before crawling away, eager to please its master. As for the figure, she walker back to the tree before sitting at the top of it, letting it's servant do its bidding.
