Chapter 57: Evolving and Naming the Summons 1

Chaos glanced at all of his summons with wonder, he had a ton! 30 new monsters! It was hard to assess them all, but Belphegor had brought Edward here, and the Elf was quickly assessing things out, writing down each new summon and registering them into several notes.
Edward had suddenly been given the position of not only a Librarian, but he was going to keep registered every servant that lived in the grand castle of Chaos, this also included a lot of paperwork! But the Elf was willing to do it, he liked all of this kind of stuff, and after evolving, he had gained so much energy and stamina that he felt he could do this for days without needing sleep.
“There is such a large amount of recruits… You’re not eating any of them, my lord?” asked Edward.
“No, I’ve thought that it is better to not eat those that will serve me,” said Chaos.
“Splendid choice,” said Edward, he didn’t want to see dying those he wrote down in papers for naught.
“I’ve realized that you’ve given a name to this Succubus, so please, my lord, give some name to your honorable Fire Demon!” said Ifrit, while kneeling before Chaos.
Chaos rubbed his chin as he decided on a name.
“Ifrit,” he said.
“GEH… B-But that name…” muttered Ifrit.
Lilith suddenly burst into laughter as she pointed her index finger, which had the tip of her long and purple nail at him.
“Pfff! Hahaha! You were named after your race!” chuckled Lilith.
“Is there something wrong with this?” asked Chaos.
“My lord, Ifrit is the name of this demon’s race, Fire Demon Ifrit, but there are many Fire Demon Ifrit, it seems… So it would be like calling an Orc… Orc,” said Belphegor.
“Oh… Well, I find it fitting. I don’t think there will be many Fire Demons around anyways,” said Chaos, shrugging.
Ifrit ended accepting the name as he would never dare to oppose his summoner, so he resigned himself and from now on… was called Ifrit.
In perspective, it was as if you were named Human when you were born.
But well, that’s how things were.
Ifrit still had a “true name” similarly to Lilith, which they could not pronounce as it would cause some backlash to the one hearing it and to the demon, after all, every demon was born with a curse-like true name.
However, for some strange reason, Chaos power was even greater than this mystical force within the Gates of Hell that gave names to newborn demons, as he completely rewrote their true names into the name he gave to them, this was also why they also grew stronger, as Ifrit became a High Fire Demon Ifrit after being named. His appearance didn’t change much, but he did get taller.
“E-Even my true name as a demon has been rewriten…” he muttered.
“Haha! I like my name, Lilith is way more fitting than my previous one anyways… What’s wrong, Ifrit? Is it bad to be named like this? You should feel honored that your name made you grow stronger!” chuckled Lilith. It seemed that this pair would be rather charismatic… But it was fine, Chaos was happy that things would be livelier.
“My lord, I am done writing everything…” said Edward.
“Well, wait a bit, I want to evolve all of them and also name them, so you’ll have to write a lot about their changes too,” said Chaos.
“EH?! A-Alright…” sighed Edward. He had said he was a good librarian and secretary, so Chaos was willing to abuse this… He had now to suck it up. At least it was better than going into the Training Grounds and getting beaten to a pulp by the Orcs training the former slaves there…
Most of the elves decided to join Edward on his work, but there were a few that didn’t want to and ended being sent into intensive training right away. Even after evolving, they were not compared to the evolved Orcs and Onis, and they were being beaten down to a pulp so they could “gain some muscle”, according to the Orcs.
And so, Chaos started to evolve all of his new summons and then name them to provoke two evolutions one after another, which was the limit of how much power he could grant to others.
Starting from the Skeletons, they were rather interesting, although they were weak, they were kind of like humans, they had different jobs depending on what they were. Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Magicians, Skeleton Priests, Skeleton General, Skeleton Ninja, and Skeleton Rogues were the skeletons that Chaos had, each one had their strengths and weaknesses, but because they were of low rank, they seemed not to be that good.
However, that changed after being given Miasma and Names, of course!
All of the Skeleton Soldiers, who were around C-Rank in existence rank went all the way up to S-Rank as they became Skeleton Knights! All of them gained hard armors and weapons they could generate, being part of their body. These bone weapons and armor were more resistant than their usual bones and made them formidable fighters from the get-go.
However, after being named they became Skeleton Death Knights of SS-Rank, being lesser versions of the two Skeleton Knights that guard the castle’s gate, and holding superb physical strength, defenses, and even some talent using weapon techniques.
After the Skeleton Magicians were evolved through Miasma, they evolved into S-Rank Skeleton Wizards, and then after being named, they turned into powerful Skeleton Necromancers at SS-Rank! This was stupendous, as they had effectively become lesser Liches. Of course, they were not true Liches and were still weaker compared to a True Lich, but they were talented at magic and also at raising the dead to expand Chaos’ army. Chaos had begun to consider eating one to get the Necromancy Skill or something, but that would go against his previous statement, so he decided to not do so.
Instead, he simply put them to work right away, as he asked them to raise a few corpses, kill them, and raise them again continuously… this might increase their necromancy proficiency.
