YM778.TV Chapter 295: The Twin Centaur Princesses Evolve
295 The Twin Centaur Princesses Evolve
A pair of beautiful centaur women greeted me with their sincere smiles. Their appearances were almost the same except the differently colored gemstone in their forehead, armor, and weapons.
Against my expectations, Sofelaia and Sofarpia evolved last night after continuing to kill monsters for the entirety of the night day. They used this ruthless training even for the whole week that I was exploring the dungeon.
Their hard work finally paid off and both of them evolved. Something that was seen as miraculous in their original Kingdom, as demi-humans evolving was very rare. Probably because of the massive amounts of Experience Points that they needed.
Most "normal" citizens don\'t have the time to go level up in the wild, and even hunters and experienced adventurers who constantly hunted for monsters wouldn\'t be able to level up until evolving due to the number of Experience Points needed increasing exponentially for every level.
These folks were normal people according to the twins, and going to dangerous monster zones or dungeons would be too risky, with very little gains to find, the risk was just not worth it according to them. As they could gain money just fine by hunting monsters around or in the low-level dungeons.
This fact is also true for most Demi-Human Kingdoms or at least the peaceful ones that do not reign over their people with strength and tyranny. In the case of these Kingdoms, people are forced to grow stronger, explore different places, and use their strength to gain ranks.
Of course, there may be exceptions, like the Azuma Empire and the Thanatos Kingdom, who are similar to my Kingdom, with high-level dungeons very close by and with various programs to increase the strength of their soldiers through leveling and training, in such Kingdoms demi-humans evolving wasn\'t as strange, but it was still an even to celebrate.
Nonetheless, due to these circumstances, evolving in the Cilane Kingdom was almost a miracle, and those warriors who had managed to evolve were praised as heroes and champions, even if their classes didn\'t have such titles.
Sofelaia had a happy expression as she galloped towards me, her big sister, Sofarpia, ran towards me with a more serious smile. Both girls had different personalities despite being twins. Sofelaia was cheerful and cute, while Sofarpia was more serious and mature. Although Sofarpia is the "big" sister, she is not so older than Sofelia, they are twins after all and were born at the same time, it\'s just that Sofarpia was first and then some seconds afterward, Sofelaia was born as well.
Sofelaia pounced towards me, embracing me with her arms.
"Aaah~ Master, we did it! We did it! If we come back in our evolved forms to Cilane, we will be praised as Champions! Or even Heroes!"
"It was just as you said, Master Kireina… My efforts… Were paid off… I can feel the bloodline of my ancestors rushing through my veins…!"
Now the two girls were over the two meters tall and were able to see me from above. Their bodies became stronger and sturdier while regaining the slimness of their human halves. Their horse halves became incredibly heavy and packed with muscles, their horsetails grew large as well. Each of their ears was long and fluffy like those of a horse, and their resplendent blonde hair shined more brightly than before.
The thing that was most intriguing about their evolutions were the jewels in their foreheads, who differentiated the two girls from each other and seemed to be related to their new species.
Sofelaia had a ruby-like jewel in her forehead, which helped her canalize the Magic Energy in her body. She had evolved into an Arcane Centaur Knight, a species that a centaur with affinity with magic and sword techniques would evolve into.
The greatest boost in stats that it received was in her Magic, Resistance and Speed Stat, with a little bit in her Strength. She gained the Skill [Mana Blade Techniques] and can canalize her magic into her blade to release powerful attacks of various elements. Her strongest magic affinities are Fire and Wind.

In the other side, Sofarpia gained an emerald jewel in her forehead, which helps her canalize Life Energy through her body to enhance her muscles and strength, alongside this, it also helps her canalize magic, but at a lesser extent compared to Sofelaia. Sofarpia, the big sister of between the twins evolved into a Protector Centaur Knight, a species in which a centaur with a strong and sturdy body and various sword techniques would evolve into.
Their bodies have become sturdy and powerful, their galloping speed has decreased due to this, but they make up for that with their strong defenses and masterful blade techniques, Sofarpia is different than others Protector Centaur Knights due to her affinity with Holy Magic and her Healing Spells, which helps her fill some of the weakness of the evolution. And her natural speed-related skills can help her move at incredible speed despite her Speed Stat, however, this cost her more Stamina to do.

Something strange that I noticed when I inspected their status was the Skill [#### Attribute Magic]. After asking them about such a Skill, the twins said that they didn\'t even know they had such skill and that they had never experienced having other magic attributes other than the ones their status show.
When I used Appraisal once again in their Skills, I was able to see the Sealed Skill Description, and it just ended up being even weirder.
[#### Attribute Magic; Level 0 (Sealed); The only #### in this Realm. Those who possess the #### Attribute are said to be destined to be great existences. This Skill and Magic Attribute has been sealed due to the user\'s bloodline not being pure enough]
Huh?
So, they have a Skill that they can\'t even use because their blood is not "pure" enough? Are they not royals?
"Well, we are sure to be pure-blooded royals. Both of your parents were pure-blood royals as well…" Said Sofelaia.
"Perhaps the bloodline has been slowly colluding itself through the generations… It is inevitable" Said Sofarpia while caressing my head.
"Don\'t you remember some kind of tale about your ancestors using a special type of magic?" I asked, interested in what could this attribute truly be.
The twins then began to rack their brains searching for an answer, and quickly came with some tales about their founder and the goddess who give birth to him in the past.
It is said that the Great Goddess of Beasts Ova, possessed the original bloodline of every animal in this world, and after mating with humans, beast folk was born, alongside werewolves, centaurs, and their subspecies.
The founder of the Centaurs and the Hero of all of this species was named Morpheous Cilane, the Hero King of Centaurs. It was said that he inherited part of the special powers of the Goddess and with them, created the Cilane Kingdom. His powers were said to be fantastical, able to mold, and generate life.
With that, he did not only created countless crops capable of surviving the harsh winter but also powerful cattle animals that could survive the cold. And like this, the Cilane Kingdom was able to survive through the harsh never-ending Winter that came by living near the Snowy Mountain Walls.
"Master, do you think that we could have inherited the Attribute Magic of our founder and old ancestor?!" Said Sofelaia, excited about what could this mean.
"If this is true… Then… But no, we can\'t even use it, can\'t we? Our bloodline is not pure enough" Said Sofarpia.
"Well, it could be possible to awaken your bloodline as you keep evolving, in a similar fashion that Lilith awakened her dwarf bloodline after leveling up a lot and evolving her Skills," I said, encouraging the girls to get stronger and not lose hope.
"If that\'s true, then we must immediately resume our training!"
"That\'s right, Master Kireina! Please, be even harsher to us than before, we can handle it!"
"H-Harsher?"
Are these girls\' masochists? Did my training develop some kind of battle junkie effect on them? Well, it\'s not a bad thing…
And like that, we moved the issue aside and made the girls train their physique with a series of harsh exercises. Altani, Acelina, Ismena, Nanako, and Kaguya joined as well, as they were the girls with the weakest physiques.
It was understandable for Nanako and Kaguya, who were species specialized in Magic, but the other girls were Humans who could become good in everything pretty much, so I was merciless. Incidentally, Nanako and Kaguya were more enthusiastic about these physical training.
All the girls were wearing special sets of loosen clothes that could easily leak their sweat and helped them move with ease. However, training with armor was also useful as it would make their muscles receive constant pressure while exercising. Acelina, Sofelaia, and Sofarpia did all of their physical training while wearing heavy armor.
Acelina who seemed like a frail damsel was already developing a sturdy belly, and biceps would start to appear in the following days. The Centaur Twins were already well-developed musculature wise and wearing heavy armor while running countless kilometers seemed easy.
The training of today included the humans running thirty kilometers, and doing two thousand push-ups, sit-ups and squats… Yes, this may seem impossible and inhumane in Earth\'s standards, but in the world of Genesis, every human can achieve superhuman strength after leveling enough, even the frail Ismena did this, although almost dying afterward. Kaguya and Nanako had special training.
Kaguya would use her Feral Form Transformation constantly while running and exercising double the amount that the humans did. While Nanako was going to do the same exercise, but more intense in the area of push-ups, sit-ups, and squats, having to do one thousand and five hundred.
The Centaur Girls were an exception and did a super special training only for centaurs, they had to run two hundred kilometers and do special sit-ups and squats that only centaurs could perform with their horse limbs, each one being three thousand times. Their incredibly strong physiques managed to do everything with ease.
In the end, I made the girls take a break of twenty minutes while I massaged their bodies with my slime tentacles and special muscle-relaxing slime secretions and creams. After they felt refreshed, ate a light meal, and drank plenty of water, the training was resumed with them killing a giant army of Elite Skeleton Warriors and Tyrants. Whenever they felt like their muscles were going to explode and their bones to shatter, I would use [Puppet Master] on them, forcing them to continue until no enemies remained.
Yes, this was harsh, but they had already accepted my training and this was explained beforehand, although they had pained expressions, they did not want me to stop.
When night finally fell, all of the girls without any exception had leveled their Physique, Muscle, Bones, and even Blood flow related Skills. I\'ve read in Books related to Skills in Athetosea Library that if a Human manages to level up their Muscle Enhancement, Bone Enhancement, and Strength Enhancement Skills, the system will automatically fuse and evolve them into [Superhuman Strength]. And that is what everyone was aiming for, most of my wives already have that skill. Zehe, Brontes, and Nesiphae were even born with them and are rather a high level.
Nesiphae and Brontes have even evolved the [Superhuman Strength] Skill and it has become [Titanic Might Strength], and even greater skill that increased their skills to titanic levels of power. Brontes can shape whole mountains with her strength, and Nesiphae with her giant size, whole landscapes.
This is why Brontes doesn\'t concentrate on training, as doing simple exercises won\'t do anything to help her physique and is currently concentrating on leveling her Blacksmith Proficiency and passively nourish her Aura with her magic. Nesiphae on the other side level-ups in the Dungeon, must have beaten all of the bosses by herself now, except Athos.
After the training was done, everyone leveled up both their levels and their skills. Afterward, I invited the Centaur Twins to join in the dinner with my family, and the girls got to know my children, Vudia and Ailine liked to mount their backs. Sofelaia seemed to be happy about that but Sofarpia seemed to be flustered when someone touched her back, nonetheless, she behaved well with my daughters, gaining extra points with me.
[The Level of [Puppet Master; Level 9] has increased!]
[The Skill [Puppet Master; Level 10] evolved into the [Manipulation Master; Level 1] Skill!]
[Manipulation Master; Level 1/10; A Skill that only those who are incredibly skillful in the arts of manipulations and usage of their subordinates or slaves can obtain]
[Grants an easier dominance over the actions of a subordinate/slave/concubine or any other being who has submitted to the user]
[Grants the extra effect of psychological manipulation through words]
[The efficiency of both of these Skills increases as the Skill levels up]
