YM778.TV Chapter 119: Targeting Surrounding Bugs
"Well, it allow you to see how dangerous a Level 3 Danger Zone. This is the same level as Lunos Forest, the place you want to return and claim as your first territory, so..." she paused, letting the fact sink in.
"It can be use to gauge the danger of Lunos Forest, and if I am ready for it or not, which seem to be a no. For now. It also tell how deep I can go without meeting something that can potentially kill me," Alros said with enthusiasm, finally understanding what she meant.
"Yep, and if you are not strong enough for the core area, then you just need to be stronger. So, you need to get stronger monsters, one you can handle, and maybe try to get stronger as well. Get new skills, buy some spell books, and so on," Laili said.
"You are the best helper a demon could ask for," he kiss the system guide luscious lips before asking her, "Because of this talk, I will give one thing you desire, as long as I can give it to you,"
Laili looked at him, before turning away, a red blush on her face, "Then," she said with a small voice, "I want you to do it with me, alone, for an entire night," the incubus raised his brows at her request before nodding.
"Sure, though maybe the night after. When I am no longer too tired to for it," the system guide nodded, the two laid on their beds, before falling asleep.
Though, while they are asleep, the rest of the system space did not, with his clones, now numbering 310, are busy gaining LP for him, the sounds of moaning, panting and grunting filling the space.

When he woke up, Alros summoned his hobgoblins and some of his more powerful bugs, as his plan for the day can be considered audacious, and dangerous, requiring might more than stratagem, though the later is still needed to prevent as much casualties as possible.
After all, he would be targeting the huge bugs around his current base, and, preferably, subdued them, though it would be hard. Laili had warned him the previous night that while subdue can work on stronger monsters, they will try to break free, or fight of the attempt.

The only way for him to be successful in subduing them is either be stronger than them, or overpowered their willpower. Which make sense, in a anime-like way.
All in all, it would require him to do his best and used the best of his monsters if he want any chances of claiming his prize.

"There it is," his first target is the natural tank of the Forest of Bug, the large rhinoceros beetle. While it may look the same as the previous one he saw the first time he enter the core part, there is one distinct different, and it\'s the size.
The beetle in front of his is larger than the one he first meet, and seem to be a tough veteran, scars littering it\'s body. The fact did not deter the demon though. In fact, it cause him to salivate over having such monsters as a part of his force.
However, it would be hard for him to capture such monsters. With it\'s armor, poison would not be able to enter it\'s body, and turning such poison into gas is not worth it at the moment. The threads of his spiders would also not work, as the sheer size and might of the beetle would no doubt break it with a simple pull.
Then again, he do have several bugs that will be the perfect solution to weaken the monster of a beetle in front of him.

His monsters in position, Alros prepared himself to be the bait for once.
"Argh!" roaring loudly, earning the attention of the beetle, Alros charged at him, using a wooden hammer to hit it. With it\'s armor being as strong as steel, spear would not do anything.
And while a war hammer, or a stone hammer would be able to do more harm, he did not want to break the carapace, or leave any cracks is possible. But he still need to stun the beetle, so he opt for a wooden hammer, not strong enough to do much, but have enough mass to stun the beetle.
The impact of the hammer cause the beetle to shake it\'s head of in dazed, as Draining Web Spider shot its web on the beetle, with some using their threads to snare the legs of the monster.
Above the beetle, large number of Energy Draining Mosquitoes drained the energy of the beetle, or trying to. After all, the size of the beetle is like comparing a small car to a large lorry, so the effect are not immediate.
Of course, Alros did not let of the monster, not wanting it to escape the restrain and wreak havoc upon his force if he can help it. Another swing of the hammer make it\'s head pivot to the left before Alros grabbed its horn and push it down, his strength as a demon enough to force the huge beetle aground, unable to lift its massive head.
All the while, the Draining Web Spider, Energy Draining Mosquitoes and Mana Draining Ticks are weakening the large beetle, making it drop it\'s body as it\'s energy sapped by the bugs around it.
In time, when Alros is confident enough that big are weakened, he used subdue, his aura enveloping the monster and forcing it to submit to it\'s new master.
"You. Will. Obey." he growled, using his willpower to force the beetle to submission. However, the huge beetle are not weak. Even in it\'s current state, it still try to fight, using it\'s willpower to battle against his.
However, such action is futile, as it was greatly weakened, making it\'s willpower unable to combat against. Even so, the back and forth match between will took another 20 minutes before it succumbed, finally being subdued, a mark on its head.

[ Master, will you not get him a lair? ]
Alros shook his head, "He will be one of my trump card, and a lair will be slightly troublesome, as there is a chance it can command the other inside it. So, instead I will create a personalized place for this big guy,"
When Laili went silent, the demon reminded her, "There is a lot of space left in the system space, so it would not be an issue. However, it will be an issue if I don\'t manage to fill it before upgrading it to the second tier,"
His argument convince the system guide.
