Chapter 485: [483] Awakening
By noon, Mimori Akatsuki gazed at the five women before her with a broad smile.
Though their qualifications as mediums weren't exceptional, they were better than nothing. These were daughters of royalty or high-ranking officials from nations near the Warlord's Domain, or princesses of countries personally destroyed by Vatler.
Their beauty and sense of purpose were unmistakable.
They were maids, here to serve as mediums for Kojou Akatsuki, the Fourth Progenitor—not even qualifying as blood companions.
Hailing from noble or royal families, they were well-versed in etiquette and worldly knowledge.
With these five, they could likely awaken two more familiars. If one or two had slightly better potential, perhaps even three.
Added to the three familiars Kojou had already awakened, this would bring him close to half his total.
With that, Kojou's safety would be more secure. With five or six familiars at his command, even August would find it impossible to defeat him easily.
"Kojou, stop wasting time. We're running out of it. Get over here."
"But Mom, I don't even know them. Asking me to feed on them just like that—it doesn't feel right."
"What's not right about it? You need to understand, you're the Fourth Progenitor. There are only three others like you in the entire world. Have some confidence."
