Blood demon leveling

After making quick work of the first floor boss the group walked their way out of the dungeon and over to the local guild where they sold 53 monster crystals and the stones of passage for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor for a total of 1625, as Mike made his way out of the guild he ran into the young woman from yesterday, she greeted him with a smile as she spun her dagger around while she stood in the queue for the reception, Mike gave a nod before he walked onwards out of the guild to Julie and the others that stood and waited outside the guild, Julie gave a smile when she saw him and asked him

"How much did we get today?"

"1625, not bad for a day's work right?"

"Yeah… Although I look forwards to earning some more"

"Me too… Well then let's head home"

"Yeah"

Mike took Julie's hand and the two of them formed their own pink world as Elina, Rebecca and Molly followed after them silently, on the way back Mike suddenly stopped walking and looked at Julie before he asked

"Let's start our army now… We have about 28.000, that should be enough for a couple of slaves right?"

"Sure Mike, but how do you plan to house them, we don't have space for them?"

"Right… Maybe it was premature… Well, not if we get another female slave, then she can sleep with Elina and Rebecca, what do you say?"

Julie gave him a cold stare for sometime before she eventually agreed

"Fine, but I will choose the slave this time… What is it with you and female slaves anyway? Is it your kink?"

Mike remained silent for a bit as he tried to formulate himself, then after a little while he asked Julie

"What would you say if we had a male slave that smelled of sweat all the time?"

Julie gave a deep frown

"Ew, what's up with that question?"

"That's right, in that case would you not rather have a female slave?"

"... I hate the fact that you make sense right now… Fine, you can continue building your slave harem, but if I find you laying as much as a finger on either of them, that includes Elina and Rebecca, then I'll castrate you, understood?"

Mike gave a smile before he gave Julie a kiss and lied

"Don't worry you're the only one for me"

Julie, lovestruck as she were believed him at face value a blushed deeply before she pulled him along

"Come on, we have to hurry up or they'll close for the day"

Mike gave a slight smile as he let himself get pulled along…

After asking around the group arrived at the slave market and entered a random shop that were open still, leaving Molly out on the street, the inside of the was neat and clean"May I help you with anything?"

The receptionist however was a non-human slave with big dog-like ears on top of her head, this caused Julie to frown a little before Mike spoke up

"We're in the marked for a female slave"

"Certainly, please take a seat and wait here while I go get the manger"

As the slave left the room Julie spat on the floor and mumbled

"Non-human filth"

Mike gave a wry smile and spoke

"Now now, this isn't Elmlet"

"Che…"

Mike shook his head, he had had a feeling that Julie was a little… Well racist to be frank but it really didn't bother him, he believed that it would change when she interacted more with non-humans… Probably

"Welcome to my shop, I am Andreas the manager… I heard that you are in the market for a female slave, yes?"

Mike looked over and saw a middle aged man that looked slightly stern and gave a smile

"Yeah, our price range is about 20.000"

Julie gave a nod, she too knew that they would have to spend some money if they wanted a quality product, thus she had no problem with spending most of their savings on the new slave, the middle aged man gave a nod and showed a business smile

"You are in luck, I just received some new crime slaves this morning"

Then he gestured for them to follow him as he walked into another room, meanwhile Mike and Julie exchanged glances, a crime slave was only a slave as long as their sentence called for and were thus cheaper then a regular slave, that worked out well for Mike as he would just control them first thing, thus making them eternally loyal so this worked out well for Mike and Julie

"Please wait here while I get some products to show you"

"Sure"

Mike and Julie sat down on some comfy chairs while Elina and Rebecca remained standing, the two of them however moved to stand behind Mike on his right and left side respectively, after waiting for about five minutes the manger returned with four slaves all of them women, but three of them was not entirely human which caused Julie to give a slight frown, Mike however looked them over starting from the left was a human girl about 17 years old with plain features and a skinny build, Mike easily dismissed this choice as he would need someone with stamina for dungeon runs, next were a non-human with wolf like ears on top of her head and a fluffy tail, she had good proportions but her beautiful looks were ruined by a scar that ran across her face and blinded her right eye she looked to be in her mid 20's, next were another non-human with long pointy ears which Mike gave a pass like the first because of her slightly skinny build

'If they were fat then that was one thing, but don't they get anything to eat?'

Next in line were a non-human with bunny ears and a small fluffy tail, she was curvy and had pale skin and red eyes, although she gave Mike the feeling that she was more of a, well… Bedroom slave than a fighting slave.

Lastly was a small girl no more than 12 years old, she was non-human and had goat like horns growing out of her forehead and looked like she was scared shitless with how much she trembled

'Well there's not much of a choice if you ask me…'

Mike looked at the second slave, the non-human that were blind on one eye with the fluffy ears he really wanted to pet, to his surprise he found that she looked back at him with a strong will in her left eye

'... Interesting'

Mike leaned back in the chair and waited for Julie to make her decision, after awhile Julie gritted her teeth and spoke

"The second from the left, how much is she?"

The manager gave a smile

"You have a good eye miss, she's 4.000"

Julie and Mike raised an eyebrow at the low price but then the manager continued

"She used to be muscle for a noble that lost a power struggle in the capital… Well I'll be honest, she not entirely suppressed by the slave crest that is placed over her heart thus the low price"

Julie gave a nod before she showed a shrewd smile

"3.000 and we'll take her off your hands"

"But the price is---"

"Do you want to wait for her to injure another one of your products? Or maybe herself?"

The manager looked conflicted for a moment before he gave a sigh

"... Fine, 3.000"

"Deal"

The moment the manger said so the girl in question suddenly bolted crashing through a window and disappearing into the night, Mike raised his hand and both Elina and Rebecca disappeared after her out of the window, the manager gave a smile and spoke

"3.000 please"

MIke shook his head with a wry smile on his face and paid up before he stood up from the comfy chair and walked out of the building with the manger following after them, outside stood or rather sat Elina and Rebecca on the new member of their party holding her down as she struggled, the manger was slightly surprised but only for a moment before he showed a business smile, Mike walked over and kneeled down in front of the girl and lifted her jaw up from the ground and looked into her remaining left eye before he spoke

"Be good"

The young woman however looked him defiantly in the face as she struggled to get loose from Elina and Rebecca's clutches, Mike gave a cold smile as a red light suddenly glowed in both his eyes before he said

"Be good, or I'll skin you like a dog before I feed you to Molly"

The young woman trembled slightly before she finally lowered her gaze and stopped struggling, the light of resistance in her eye burned brightly still however, Mike showed an even wider smile as he spoke again

"What's your name?"

"... Clare"
