"So, what are the specific effects?"

"It greatly enhances my physical body, granting me unmatched monstrous strength and terrifying regenerative power."

Simply put, Ape Maiden Sovereign is a Unique Skill that comprehensively strengthens Momiji.

Combined with the Magicules Solidification she obtained from Rin, Momiji's attributes would become overwhelmingly powerful.

And with such enhancements, Momiji's other abilities would also improve drastically.

"Is that kind of ability?"

Hakurou said, "It seems I'll have to teach you well, Momiji."

"Yes, Father."

"My teachings will be very tough, you know."

"I will work hard!"

It seemed Hakurou had already noticed the flaw in this Unique Skill.

It was true that Momiji herself had become powerful, but if she couldn't fully unleash that strength, it would be a waste.

Just right, Hakurou's Martial God wasn't just powerful, he was also an expert at teaching others.

"I will look forward to your growth, Momiji."

"Yes!"

The Momiji family received Rin's grace.

This scene made someone feel uneasy.

Of course, that someone was definitely not Shuna or Shion.

Although their magicules weren't as abundant as the Momiji family's, they were already more than sufficient.

As mentioned before, between 100,000 and 1,000,000, the outcome depended on one's Unique Skill and mastery over it.

Someone.

"Benimaru, congratulations."

Rin lightly patted Benimaru's shoulder, congratulating him, "With such strong in-laws protecting you, you must take good care of little Momiji from now on, understand?"

Benimaru was flustered, extremely flustered.

As a small fry with 100,000 magicules, the pressure in front of this family of three was immense.

In fact, Benimaru secretly hoped Rin would grant him a bit more magicules.

However, he was well aware of his own situation.

Consecutive improvements in a short period of time weren't good for his development.

"Benimaru, you too, need to train yourself well."

"For the next period of time, I'll be the one to train you!"

Hakurou's tone, implying "your physique is a bit weak, lad," scared Benimaru into cowering like a quail.

Hakurou's training, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it hell.

"I will work hard with you!"

Momiji enthusiastically patted Benimaru's shoulder.

The monstrous strength she had just gained from Ape Maiden Sovereign nearly made Benimaru lose his breath.

"Hmm, hmm, how youthful, hehehe."

Watching this scene, Kaede narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, clearly pleased with Benimaru as her son-in-law.

'Heh, it seems Benimaru's status in the family is set in stone.'

Rin silently sighed for him, while he himself, served by Shuna, began tasting the dishes prepared by the Tengu Clan.

During this time, Rin also shared with Kaede and Momiji the ideas he had previously gained.

Now, Rin was no longer an outsider.

There was no need to hide anything anymore.

"No wonder!"

Momiji grabbed Benimaru's hand and suddenly exerted strength, making him break out in a cold sweat from the pain: 'Ow, ow, ow!'

"Those damned bird-men, they were actually planning such a thing!"

"And those guys from the Hawk Faction Tengu…"

"They're traitors, simply despicable!"

The more she spoke, the harder Momiji squeezed.

'It's going to break, it's going to break, hey!'

Benimaru screamed internally but outwardly forced himself to stay composed.

He knew Rin was laughing at him.

For the sake of a man's dignity, he absolutely couldn't cry out.

"Crack!"

Alright, the bone really did break.

The frail mage Benimaru, facing the fierce warrior Momiji, could only be described as utterly fragile.

"Hmm?"

"What was that sound?"

Momiji looked around curiously, and since she couldn't find the source, she continued, "Rin-sama, please leave this matter to us. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"

What explanation?

Of course, it meant killing them.

Betraying their race and acting as guides, what else could there be to say?

There was no other choice but death.

Momiji didn't doubt Rin's judgment.

That simply wasn't important.

Both she and her mother were already Rin's subordinates.

Therefore, whether for their clan's survival or their own benefit, they had to bring the Tengu under Rin's command.

In this way, the Tengu would become Rin's people.

When a master suspects the loyalty of his subordinates, even if only to dispel those doubts, the mother and daughter had to eliminate the Hawk Faction Tengu.

Otherwise, if that thorn remained, how could Rin trust the Tengu Clan in the future?

How could their clan gain importance?

"Not so fast."

Rin was quite satisfied with Momiji's decision. He said, "I actually want to see the Demon Lord's strength."

"You mean?!"

Kaede exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be you intend to use their scheme against them?"

"Ah."

Rin nodded, "Let the Hawk Faction Tengu report our arrival to Frey."

"With outsiders suddenly appearing, I don't believe Frey will remain indifferent."

The greatest possibility was that, to avoid further complications, she would directly launch an attack on the Divine Mountain with the assistance of the Hawk Faction Tengu.

"Even if we want to expel the Hawk Faction Tengu, we need evidence."

Rin said, "This way, we can solidify their crime of betraying their clan and defecting to the enemy."

Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia, Queen's bedchamber.

"Frey-sama."

A Harpy girl, Luchia, Frey's confidante, anxiously entered the hall. "There's news from the Tengu Hidden Village in the Divine Mountain!"

"Did they make movements?"

"Let me see."

Frey took the intelligence report. As she read carefully, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper. "Rin? Who is that?"

The Great Jura Forest had always been exclusive, and because of the Storm Dragon, the Demon Lords had tacitly chosen not to invade it.

This meant Frey didn't know much about the monsters in the forest.

Furthermore, Rin's rise had been too rapid.

Although he hadn't officially founded a country yet, in terms of high-level combat power, his strength was already beyond the imagination of Clayman, Carrion, or Frey.

Of course, Frey and the others were still unaware of this.

To Frey, the Great Jura Forest was still that wild, backward, primitive region.

As for Rin… "A monster leader who appeared out of nowhere, so high-profilely intervening in the internal conflicts of the Tengu Hidden Village."

"I don't know whether to say he's courageous or simply clueless."

Frey shook her head, turning the report into ashes. "However, it is indeed time to remind that group of Tengu of their place."
