"Heh, eradicating monsters, huh? 25,000 troops. I should be able to officially become a Demon Lord the day after tomorrow." Gazing toward the Falmuth Kingdom, Takeru murmured to himself.
"Takeru-sama, is the Falmuth Kingdom about to make its move?" Looking at Takeru, Ram inquired curiously.
"Yes. The time is set for the day after tomorrow." Hearing her words, Takeru did not hide it and directly stated.
"We will definitely do our utmost to eliminate the enemy!" Upon hearing this, Rem spoke with firm resolve.
"No need to be tense. A mere 25,000 soldiers are nothing. Destroying them is well within my capabilities." Seeing their expressions, Takeru spoke without any trace of tension.
And indeed, Takeru's strength had long since surpassed them by an unknown degree. Even the so-called kingdom's strongest mage, Razen, was in Takeru's eyes merely an existence he could erase with a flick of his wrist.
As for ordinary humans, if Takeru casually dropped a single spell or Ninjutsu, casualties would certainly number in the thousands.
But as for now, it was time to summon Beatrice and Esdeath and the others.
'System, summon Emilia, Beatrice, Naoki Miki, Uzumaki Karin, and Felt.'
[Ding! Summoning the above targets requires 10,000 points. Do you agree to summon?]
'Summon.'
[10,000 points deducted. Remaining points: 296,500. Summoning in progress.]
With Takeru's summoning, in the main world, Emilia and Beatrice, who had been in discussion, sensed time seemingly slow down. Then, information rapidly transmitted into their minds. Afterward, both were enveloped in black light and vanished from where they stood.
Simultaneously disappearing were Karin, Miki, and Felt. Miu, who had been playing with Felt, noticed Felt's abrupt disappearance without any warning and froze in place.
Only Ai, diligently meditating, remained unaware of the villa occupants' disappearance.
On Takeru's side, watching the group rapidly materialize before him, he signaled Ram and Rem to lay them on beds. Then, Takeru initiated another summoning.
"System, summon Esdeath, Akame, Kurome, Leone, Sheele, Mine, and Chelsea from the Akame ga Kill! World."
[Ding! Summoning these characters requires 7 C-Rank evaluations and 21,000 points. Do you wish to summon?]
"Hmm? Why does it require evaluations and such a high point cost?" Seeing the system prompt, Takeru frowned.
[Ding: The above characters are being manifested and summoned for the first time. Therefore, evaluations and points are required.]
Seeing the system's explanation, Takeru paused, then understood. However, he did not dwell on it excessively and directly agreed to the summoning.
[Ding: 7 C-Rank evaluations and 21,000 points deducted successfully. Remaining: 2 S-Rank evaluations! 2 A-Rank evaluations! 1 B-Rank evaluation! 2 D-Rank evaluations! 275,500 points. Summoning in progress.]
Following the system prompt, in the Akame ga Kill! World, whether it was Esdeath, Akame, and Kurome who were training, or Mine, Chelsea, and the others idling about, all received a special notification.
Having been informed that Takeru was summoning them, and that they could manifest items, each quickly manifested their Teigu and one ordinary item, then were directly transported from their original world by the Reincarnation Space.
By the time Esdeath and the others arrived, Beatrice and Emilia had already regained consciousness. First, they excitedly glanced at Takeru, then noticed Esdeath and the others, who had appeared out of nowhere and were in a state of unconsciousness. Both were momentarily stunned.
They did not know Esdeath and the others at all, nor had they ever heard of them. However, anyone brought here through such means could only be the doing of Takeru before them.
Furthermore, everyone could sense the special restriction on the others… the restriction of a follower. Thus, no one acted rashly.
As time passed, everyone gradually regained consciousness. They looked at everything around them in silence. The atmosphere momentarily grew somewhat tense.
"Let me introduce everyone first. This is Esdeath, this is Akame, and Akame's younger sister Kurome, Mine..."
With Takeru's introductions, everyone gained a preliminary, simple understanding of each other. Esdeath and Akame, in particular, sensed an immense oppressive force from Ram, Rem, Beatrice, and Emilia.
Some among them even had a premonition: if it came to battle, they might be instantly killed.
This intense premonition caused both to frown. In their original world, they were absolute top-tier powerhouses, further enhanced by the Armament Haki and Observation Haki Takeru had taught them.
Yet still, they had zero chance of victory… they could not even put up a fight.
Sensing this, Esdeath, Akame, and the others felt deeply frustrated and defeated.
"How strange. Why do Ram and Rem seem to have grown stronger again?" Briefly sensing everyone's condition, Beatrice looked at Ram and Rem. If she remembered correctly, they had only arrived a minute earlier than themselves...
"You are not mistaken. Due to the rules of this world, the two have already received enhancement. Perhaps you too can gain enhancement." Hearing Beatrice's words, Takeru directly stated.
"Eh? How does one obtain enhancement?" Hearing Takeru's words, Beatrice excitedly jumped onto Takeru, who caught her in his arms.
"I bestow a name upon you: Beatrice." Hearing her words, Takeru directly declared.
At Takeru's words, Beatrice was stunned. However, before anyone could ponder further, a surge of massive mana enveloped Beatrice, rapidly transforming her.
Seeing that Beatrice also benefited from the effect, Takeru smiled and turned his gaze to Emilia. "I bestow a name upon you: Emilia."
Receiving Takeru's naming, Emilia also underwent transformation. As a half-elf, she was now completely transitioning into a high-ranking spirit.
Sensing both their life force fields visibly and rapidly strengthening, Esdeath, Akame, and the others revealed envious expressions and looked expectantly at Takeru.
"I apologize, but humans cannot become named monsters." Looking at them, as well as Felt and the others' hopeful gazes, Takeru spoke helplessly.
There was no helping it. If they could be named, Takeru would certainly not be stingy with his stored mana. But this world was not without rules. If humans could also be named, with their overwhelming numbers, monsters would have long been completely exterminated.
As for later, when he ascends to Demon Lord, Takeru was uncertain whether they, as his followers, would receive enhancement due to their connection. He was not sure, but it was possible.
If it truly did not work, then Takeru had no other solutions. Furthermore, he had summoned them so they could contribute in the upcoming seizure of the Falmuth Kingdom.
After all, in the Akame ga Kill! World, Takeru had already involved them in national administration. With their assistance, Takeru could save considerable effort.
Moreover, taking control of the Falmuth Kingdom would surely significantly boost his evaluation score in this world. Thinking this, Takeru revealed a smile.
As for Esdeath and the others, upon hearing they could not enhance their abilities through such means, they showed disappointed expressions but quickly recovered. If they could not take shortcuts, they would just have to diligently strive and become the strongest existence through their own efforts.
"Takeru, what do we need to do now?" Subsequently, Esdeath, not forgetting the original purpose for which they were summoned, directly inquired.
"Next, a war will come here. The enemy has 25,000 soldiers, including special mages and powerful knights." Hearing her words, Takeru directly stated.
"25,000 soldiers, plus powerful mages and knights! Takeru, perhaps we should retreat first, or have the forces of the Dawn Empire come over!" Hearing Takeru's words, Mine and Leone and the others were deeply shocked. Leone directly proposed.
As for Chelsea, although she also felt shocked, looking at the confident Takeru, her eyes were filled with confidence and admiration for him.
"Don't worry. I did not summon you all here because I cannot win. You are not needed for the war itself. It's just that I plan to seize control of the Falmuth Kingdom afterward and require your assistance in management. Additionally, there is a chance you may all gain some benefits."
"Eh, are you really sure it's no problem?" Hearing Takeru say this, Mine said nervously.
Although their strength was considerable, fighting a hundred enemies each would already be exhausting, let alone facing unknown knights and mages.
Although mages did not exist in their world, they had witnessed Takeru perform magic many times. Even Esdeath's Demon's Extract could be considered a form of magic...
"I want to participate!" Esdeath directly declared with serious resolve.
"I also wish to help Takeru!" Akame and Kurome stepped forward and declared.
"Hmph, none of you are needed! Betty alone is sufficient!" Beatrice, having completed her enhancement, opened her eyes and declared with overflowing confidence.
"Beatrice-sama, Rem and Nee-san can also contribute for Takeru-sama!" Hearing Beatrice's words, Rem spoke seriously.
