I can feel it's monstrous aura when it first appeared.

Then the Stellar Lycaon suddenly bow it's head down to my level and started acting warmly to me.

Seeing this monstrous beast acting like that towards me made feel warm, so I patted it's head.

After I start petting it, it become more happy, as I can see it from how it' tail move left and right in high speed.

"Master, what is her race? I got a little intimated by her aura before, and that's ,ade me quite curious. You know that I, as an S-ranked monster shouldn't be easy to get intimidated, so if she can intimidate me then I conclude that she have a higher stats than me."(Lucia)

"Well, her race is Stellar Lycaon. I haven't came up a name for her yet, and I want to ask how did you know that she's a girl?"(Vestia)

"Monsters can differentiate each other gender by nature, it's not something special. And Stellar Lycaon huh... never heard about that race before."(Lucia)

As I was talking to Lucia, I thought about what kind of battle formation that I can use in the future.

If I say that Lucia fall on the support type of monster, then Stellar Lycaon can be said to fall on the pure fighter type of monster.

So for now I can put Stellar Lycaon on the front and Lucia on the back.

And look at it's rank, it was actually an SS-rank monster, a rank that I haven't heard even from Lucia.

"Hey Lucia, did you ever heard about SS-ranked monsters before?"(Vestia)

"Hmm? Why did you ask that kind of question all of a sudden? Well for your answer, they exist. There are some of the oldest demon lord who have them. Most of them got those monsters as a reward directly given from the Demon God itself, so you can say that an SS-rank monster is almost impossible to be made by using combinations."(Lucia)

"You said that because there aren't many demon lords who have many S-ranked cards right? How about using 4 S-ranked cards for the combination? Will it produce an SS-rank monster or not?"(Vestia)

"Unfortunately, I do not know the answer for that question. Even if my knowledge were granted by the Demon God himself, those knowledge is mostly about some basic information for a demon lord."(Lucia)

"No that's okay, thanks."(Vestia)

"Master, you haven't answered my question yet, why did you ask that kind of question all of a sudden? Please don't make me curious but then left me hanging."(Lucia)

"*chuckled* Well don't be surprised alright. She's an SS-rank monster."(Vestia)

"Eh? EH?? EHHH!?!?!?"(Lucia)

Lucia gawked at my answer and stop functioning because of the shock.

I think I will leave her alone for a while.

Then I look to my new monster again.

It's appearance looks very similar to a wolf and with her fur being mixed of white and blue, it makes her look beautiful.

"Hey..."(Vestia)

I called her making her stop rubbing her head to me and moved her gaze to meet mine.

"From now on your name is Livia, it's meaning is blue."(Vestia)

"Livia... My name... Thank you, master..."(Livia)

Suddenly Livia spoke to me.

She has a very beautiful voice that can sooth one soul.

Even though her attribute is mostly of thunder, lightning, and storm, her temperament is calm.

"You can talk?"(Vestia)

"Every A-rank and above monsters can speak master."(Lucia)

As I was asking Livia, Lucia came in, I think she already got off her shock.

"Well nice to meet you fellow sister, let's work together and protect master well."(Lucia)

"Enn... it's good to meet you to."(Livia)

I was watching Lucia and Livia interaction when suddenly I felt very weak, and before I knew it, I blacked out.

Before I got completely black out, I can still hear Lucia and Livia shouting my names in panic.

'Ah shit, I'm... losing my... consciousness.'

-----------------------

I don't know how much time has passed after I blacked out.

I just woke up but I still feel heavy all over my body.

Even my eyelids also felt heavy and because of that, I can't open my eyes at all.

But I can still feel the warm sensation on my body.

I tried hard to open my eyes and after trying for a few minutes, I opened it with some pain.

When I looked down, I found that I was naked and there were two naked feminine bodies clinging to my body.

On my right is a beautiful white haired girl, which I recognize as my first monster, Lucia.

On my left is a gorgeous bluish white hair girl that I don't recognize.

She has a very voluptuous body complimented with a pair of modest and supple breast that got deformed a little because she currently pressed it on my chest.

When I look at her bluish white hair color, I recognize her in an instant that she is actually Livia.

I remember Lucia told me before that all S-rank monsters has the ability to have a humanoid form.

I want to try moving but with their bodies sticking to me like this, I can't move at all, so I called out their names.

"Girls? Lucia... Livia... wake up."(Vestia)

When the girls heard my voice, they woke up immediately.

Livia then hug me very tightly as if she is afraid to lose me and Lucia calmly move from my chest and sit close to me.

With our bodies sticking so closely like this, I can feel the warm of their body and hear their breath very clearly.

Their fragrant scent also stick to me.

I can hear Livia starts to sob so I hug her back and start to pat her head to calm her down, but honestly I am confused about my current situation.

Lucia noticed that I'm still confused with this situation so she started to explain about what happen to me.

She told me that I fainted for 20 hours because I used all of my mana at once and even some of my life force to name Livia.

She explained that naming a monster is a sacred act that depict the trust between a master and a monster.

Giving a name to a monster will also make a spiritual link where the named monster stats will be enhanced a little while the master will get a third of the named monster stats as his own.

In a sense, this naming system is a win - win deal between a demon lord and it's created monster.

But to name a monster, a demon lord need to sacrifice their own mana, and it also need a huge amount of mana to do it.

The higher the rank of the monster, the amount of mana that a demon lord need to sacrifice also got raised

If somehow the demon lord doesn't have enough mana to name the monster, then the it will take the demon lord life force as a substitute for the mana and it can cause the demon lord a lot of negative thing, and the worse thing that can happen is to die.

This time I was lucky to only passed out from naming an SS-rank monster.

Even Lucia got a little bit surprised by my unending luck.

She even said that she won't be surprise if I am actually the child between the Goddess of Luck and the Demon God to make fun of me.

In the end, Lucia mention that this past is the most important part.

She said that I could only give 10 names to my own created monster in total and those ten named monster will be considered as the 10 high guardian of a demon lord.

If somehow a named monster died, then the total of named monster I can have will be reduced by one, that's why she said that I need to consider a lot of things before giving out a name.

Since Lucia were named by the Demon God himself, it didn't take my quota at all and I still can give out 9 more names as I already used one to name Livia.

But then, a question came up inside my mind, so asked Lucia about it.

"Lucia, you are already a named monster before becoming my monster right? Does that mean I can get more named monsters with other ways?"(Vestia)

"Actually there is a way, but first let me straighten master misunderstanding first. Master, you should already know that all demon lord will get 1 monster when they got born. Those monster is a special case where they were created and named by the Demon God himself, and then were given to the newly born demon lords. Those named monster is usually can't be considered as part of the ten guardian as most of them have low stats. They exist only to help and guide the demon lords on the start of their journey. For master case gaining me, an S-rank monster that can easily be considered as a guardian monster because I'm powerful enough is a very rare case to happen."(Lucia)

I was still contemplating her words so she stopped her explanation and wait for me to digest the new information first.

"I see, you can continue, Lucia."(Vestia)

"As I said before, there is a way to get another named monster outside of those ten guardian and that is to poach a named monster from another demon lord."(Lucia)

"Wait, you can actually do something like that?"(Vestia)

"It is possible but also very difficult to do as a created monster loyalty to their master is very high to the point that if somehow their master died in a battle, they will choose to kill themselves to follow their master rather than to live."(Lucia)

"I got it now, but if you told me this, I reckon you have a way to do it right?"(Vestia)

"Actually this is only possible because you have me master. Actually you can capture a named monster and torture it until you broke it's mind, and then you can proceed to make a contract with it the same way how I contracted to you before. But a named monster loyalty and mind defense are very high so in a normal case, they won't ever succumb to their enemies, but with my charm, I can corrode their defense little by little until they broke down."(Lucia)

"Well, I have to say I was very lucky to have you by my side Lucia. So how do I know that they already succumb to me or not? They are intelligent monsters so there's a chance where they act submitting to me but they still plan to stab me from behind."(Vestia)

"It is actually quite simple, master. You can only make a contract with a named monster when they already accepted you as their master so they won't betray you at all. If there still some unwillingness inside them, then the contract will fail and you need to wait for a month time to attempt the contract again."(Lucia)

"I get it now, thanks for explaining this to me Lucia."(Vestia)

"Fu fu fu... I will do anything for you, master~"(Lucia)

While I talk with Lucia, I also didn't forget about Livia who still hugging me right now, but at least she already stop crying.

While still patting her head, I called her name softly.

"Livia... look at me."(Vestia)

Livia then raised her head and looked at me.

Her blue sparkling pair of eyes are swollen red right now because she just cried, but that didn't diminish any of her beauty.

"Master... I'm sorry... You fainted because of me."(Livia)

When I heard Livia safe blaming herself like that, I couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Even though she has an adult body, she act like a child right now.

"Livia, it's not your fault so don't blame yourself. It is my own decision to name you after all. Now don't be sad anymore, okay."(Vestia)

Livia stay silent for a few seconds and then nod her head to me.

But looking at their naked body like that made my little brother down there also wake up and it has been stood straight from the start.

I really want to have fun a little to vent out my lust but I know that the time is not right.

There are still many things to do right now and I can't get myself to relax, after all I haven't finish my first plan for my dungeon yet.

I at least want to add another 2 floor to my dungeon before the banquet start, and that means I need more DP.

Well, I guess it's time to start luring human to my dungeon, and maybe pick up some of them as well to be placed at the torture chamber.
