Of course, not everything could be good in this story as there’s always drama and other things, and well, my friends were all reprimanding me.
“Maria, what you did was way too much. Even I find it overexaggerated!” Exclaimed Lucifer.
“Yeah… You’ve gone all out… This will only make the Kingdom grow more concerned of you, and they’ll prepare for the next time you approach these aristocrats!” Exclaimed Emeraldine.
“Eeehh… But I think I did something pretty amazing, though! Who else would do such a thing ? Nobody, right? So that’s why I did it, because I CAN do it. And I have something that others lack, confidence in my strength, and that’s why I have all of you with me,” I said.
“I think nee-sama did a good thing! She taught them all a lesson!” Said Takeshi.
“Though we couldn’t see the torture, you did well in showing it off to the people, so these bastards were ridiculed even more,” Muttered Julia.
“Master was amazing! I hope we can kill more and more humans; they give so much EXP! I want a big army to come at us so we can slay it and make them into undead friends!” Exclaimed Partner.
“Right? They give a lot of EXP! Humans are indeed amazing,” I responded with a wide smile.
“I-I think you’re going a bit too far….” Sighed Emeraldine.
“Ah, right, sorry, I didn’t mean to offend all humans. Just the ones that would mess with us! Anyways, let’s peacefully move to our goblin village now. I’ve received some messages from the zombies I left there, and things are, thankfully, doing mostly fine. Although there were some adventurers going around, they were slain by the zombies,” I said.
“Such a thing happened?” Asked Lucifer.
“Yeah, groups of adventurers sometimes get closer or discover trails of the goblins, rushing to slay them for easy EXP and then getting eaten alive by zombies and nether beasts,” I said, proud of my undead.
“I see… This means that the duchy might soon notice something bad and send more adventurers, didn’t you realize, Maria-sama?” Asked Emeraldine.
“Oh, that might be true. I didn’t think about it in such a way… But the Adventurers had it coming. They were greedy enough to try slaying these little, green-skinned people that mean no harm,” I responded.
“Well yeah, but still….”
“Hm, well, aside from what she just did in the Duchy of Benettina… slaying those adventurers was well done. If they let them go, they would have revealed the zone where the goblins are living to the adventurer guild, and a large extermination might have ensued… in fact, that might still happen, so we have to get there quickly before anything more happens,” Said Lucifer.
“Indeed, we did good in wanting to go back then,” I muttered.
As the horses moved us quickly across the grasslands and roads while carrying all the slaves we rescued, I had decided to check out my own Status. I had reached the level cap, and now it should be possible for me to even evolve… I was rather excited about evolving at long last.

Ah yes, I had increased my power greatly. My stats had increased the most too. I had become truly unstoppable!
Ahem, aside from my ego gushing out of my body like an exploding volcano, I had increased my stats rather fairly, but my overspecialization with mana, speed, and magic is still going strong.
Additionally, every skill level had increased at least once or twice, so my power in that regard was also quite great. However, it wasn’t enough to slay everything I wanted…. For that, I would need to become a goddess or something—what a pain.
And now, I could evolve if I wanted and grow even stronger, but what evolutions will show up now? I am quite curious…
Time to see what evolutions I can pick up-
However, as I was holing myself inside a caravan, Partner rushed inside towards me.
“Partner? I am about to evolve….” I said.
“Sorry… But you said you were going to carry me!” She said.
“Y-You did! You said you were going to carry me after everything ended….” She repeated while blushing.
“Carrying? But why would I do such a thing without reason? There’s no point in doing that-”
However, I was greeted by Partner’s puppy eyes, and as they were too sad, it almost broke my heart to see them.
I held her body with my arms as if she were like my princess or something…
“You’re happy now?” I sighed while looking down at her.
“Hehe… Yeah… Let’s cuddle together….” She muttered as she hugged me back and threw me into the bed, where she jumped over me and began to hug me and rub her face onto my chest…
I guess she’s not going to let me evolve…
