[238] The Forgotten Maids! 

Swoosh~

Around August, darkness began to distort, and then a ninja of the Razor Khan emerged from the darkness.

August took a look, and their strength was only at level 3, equivalent to the level of the lower-class devil.

To be honest, their individual strength wasn't impressive, but the sheer number of Shadowkhan was overwhelming. Summoning them required very little magic power, and even if they were killed, there was no loss.

In the shadow realm within the darkness, Shadowkhan were truly endless.

The combat style of the Shadowkhan itself was a swarm tactic. In animation series, when all nine Oni Generals resurrected, they could shroud the entire Earth in darkness.

Though it was due to the setting of the animation, it still demonstrated the strength of the Shadowkhan.

After briefly inspecting these Razor Khan, August ordered them to step back.

With this Mask, August could have countless minions, and being humanoid made many things convenient.

However, Razor Khan were also good, they had excellent destructive power and strength.

Next, August turned his attention to the mysterious seed.

Subconsciously, August held the seed and entered the inner world.

After all, in this world, any plant would receive the gift of the inner world, growing rapidly. This mysterious seed might sprout here.

Upon entering the miniature world, August was surprised. Compared to before, the place had completely transformed.

"My lord, you've returned."

Not far away, a devil maid respectfully greeted August.

When the twenty devil maids arrived in this world, they began to transform it.

Now, nearly two months later, they had completely rejuvenated the place. With magic and their own skills, they had displayed their talents in this 1000 square meter area.

Looking at the vastly different inner world, August was astonished.

"You've done well."

"To share My lord's worries is our purpose of existence."

"Very well."

August nodded. These devil maids, no matter for what reason they came to him, now that they entered this world, they belonged to August, body and soul.

Then, August arrived at the center of this world and took out the mysterious seed.

The moment the mysterious seed appeared, the magical power of the entire inner world quickly began to be devoured by it, like a whale swallowing a tiger.

Not only that, but August's magical power was also rapidly being consumed.

As for the maids on the side, in just a few seconds, all the magical power throughout their bodies was absorbed, leaving none behind.

Seeing this, August couldn't help but smile. This mysterious seed was truly extraordinary. If it wanted magical power, then let it absorb its fill.

Next, like a floodgate opening, the magical power within August's body poured out continuously, all infused into the mysterious seed.

The sea of darkness within August's body churned, and a massive amount of magical power continued to pour in.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, it lasted for over thirty minutes before the mysterious seed finally became saturated.

"Whew~ Almost drained me~"

August panted heavily, looking at the mysterious seed with great surprise.

After all, even though he had just advanced to the satan-class level, the amount of magical power he possessed was probably more than the Satans except Sirzechs and Ajuka.

As the embodiment of original sin, August's magical power was constantly increasing, just like how sin was constantly being born in this world.

Under August's gaze, the grayish-white mysterious seed shattered, and a root immediately extended, directly piercing into the black soil.

Soon, the roots of this mysterious plant began to expand continuously, and the first tender shoot sprouted.

As the master of this world, August could sense that although this mysterious plant only had one tender shoot, and was just a few centimeters high, its roots had extended more than ten meters underground.

After a few minutes, the roots of this mysterious plant stopped expanding, but there was no sign of growth.

With everything coming to a halt, August was speechless. What's going on? Is it over just like this?

Now that the growth of this mysterious plant had stopped, August had no other choice.

"From now on, your most important task is to take care of this plant. Besides looking after it every day, you need to infuse it with magical power to nourish it. Everyone needs to participate."

"Yes, My lord."

This maid didn't know what kind of plant this was, but a plant that had just absorbed so much magical power from a seed definitely couldn't be a simple plant.

If it wasn't taken care of properly, she would be in big trouble. However, if it was well taken care of, it would be a great accomplishment.

After taking a deep look at the tender shoot, August sighed. What kind of plant is this? He could only wait for it to grow. However, being able to absorb so much magical power, it definitely wasn't an ordinary plant.

The maid handed over a blue fruit. August knew it was a Water Fruit, a fruit from the Water Tree.

Taking a bite, it had a sweet taste of mountain spring water. It was truly magical. Although it looked like a fruit, eating it was like drinking water.

"By the way, the food I left here before wasn't much. Is the food here enough now?"

"My lord no need to worry. The harvest here can already meet our daily food needs. It's just that the variety is a bit monotonous."

"I see. You gather everyone. I'll take this opportunity to give you all these things."

"Yes, my lord."

Bowing slightly to August, she went to gather all the maids.

Alone, August came to a not-so-large but not-so-small estate. He had to admit that these guys did a good job.

Because it wasn't big, August quickly arrived at the dining room.

However, although it was built, judging by the looks of it, it seemed like it had never been used.

With a wave of his hand, a variety of delicious food and wine appeared on the table. It had been almost two months since he had forgotten these twenty people, it was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Regardless, he planned to leave most of the food obtained from the gacha draws here before leaving this time.

Since he couldn't use them himself, it was better to leave them for them.
