When we walked back to town, I quickly was greeted by even more System notifications. Apparently all the Ego Weapons reached max level and even learned a variety of Skills. Black seems to have the power of [Shadow Sneak] where he can allow the user to meddle with shadows, quite the basic Shadow/Darkness-Attribute Magic Spell, I would say. And then there's White who gained [Light Barrier], which well, does what a barrier does, it is pretty self-explanatory.
And lastly, Aquamarine gained two new Skills: [Beast Embodiment] which allows him to suddenly take the shape of a beast and acquire its beastly strength and swiftness, and then [Claw Attack] that is a Skill that can only be used in Beast Form, it does seems to have potential. I wonder what is Aquamarine's Beast Form though, or maybe it an take any shape he wants?
Oh yeah, and Elfina got to Level 38 and acquired a brand-new Skill [Summon Expansion].
"Woow! No way! I got a new Skill now- Agh, more about Summons? W-Well, it's good still, right, Kireina? Although you'll eventually leave and it will then become pretty much useless…" Sighed Elfina.
"W-Well, if you always think about that then most of the skills you got are useless! Also I am pretty sure you'll eventually become able to summon other things rather than rocks and books. Have you tried summing anything anymore?" I wondered.
"Actually, I really haven't for a while! I do wonder if I can get anything at all…" She said while rubbing her chin. "Well, for now I could see this new Skill… What does it do…?"
As Elfina checked the Skill by herself, I also checked it through my Appraisal Skill.
-----
[Summon Expansion: Lv1]
A special Skill that can only be learned by the incredibly Rare Summoner Talents. It grants the power to Expand the Summoner's Summon Slots by x2 with each Level. Additionally, the function [Synthesis] becomes available, where Summons can be merged together. Summoned Summons can enhance the base Summon Stats temporarily, and grant additionally Skills and Magic.

"H-huh? T-This is a bit weird…" Said Elfina. "I don't get it…"
"I don't get it either…" I said. "But it seems to… Wait, you have Summon Slots?"
"I-I didn't knew I had that!" Elfina said nervously.
Suddenly, I saw her standing up and seemingly looking through her own Soul Book, until seemingly, she finally found something. I wasn't capable of peeking at what she was doing within the System through her own Status with Appraisal though, that was all secret stuff. After all Appraisal was to see other's info but not to see just what they were seeing with their own eyes or something.
"I-I think I found something up!" Elfina answered quickly after. "I seem to have… Five Slots? One is filled with you, who appears as [Bug (EX): C], then the others are filled too with… Huh? When did I summoned this? It says [Stone: I], [Stone: I], [Plant: I], and [Plant I] again? Huh? Summon!"
FLASH!
Elfina quickly summoned these summons she had registered without realizing it, as suddenly, two ordinary-looking stones and two weeds emerged over the floor. They were not moving and seemed to be dead. Well, the stones are already inert objects but the weeds were slowly dying I think.
"Ah, this is the garbage I summoned before?! Why is still registered as a summon and occupying a slot?! Ugh!" Elfina cried.
"Wait, I see!" I said with surprise, quickly realizing what was going on.
"You realized something?" Wondered Elfina.
"Yeah, the slots you got is the maximum amount of Summons you can hold. You've been not able to summon anymore because you already got your slots full, but now you got ten if you use Summon Expansion, I think you've been unable to summon anything else because your slots were full…" I said.
"Hmmm… I-I see… Ugh, I am a bit tired, let's get back to auntie's home before we talk any more about this…" Elfina seemed slightly dizzy, so we quickly made our way back there, as I noticed that Luminous and Fiere were also completely exhausted. I did also felt quite tired, but not so much. I guess it must be because of this giant metallic cocoon body, which I wish could be shaped or be different than this already, but I guess there's no helping it for the moment.
As we reached Floresse's residence, I noticed many things around everywhere. Such as soldiers training and preparing, and several giant monsters roaming around. Each one was probably a tamed monster from Floresse's Taming Ability. She said she had her own little army of monsters, and they were all rather mighty. There was this one giant Golden Beetle King named "Goldie" which I learned from Appraisal, and the bastard was B+ Rank! He's stronger than me? This one shiny bugger?! Well, then again, I am also a bug, so I guess we gotta appreciate our kin instead of discriminating one another.
"Welcome back! How did it went? Did you had fun? You took almost an entire day off, its already the morning of the next day since you went off…" Said Floresse.
"Ugh… We found a Demon Lord there." Said Elfina.
"Hahaha! Was it so hard to fight those monsters or something?" Laughed Floresse, thinking we were joking and exaggerating because it was hard down there.
"No, there was really one." Said Luminous.
"…Eh?" Floresse couldn't help but feel flabbergasted.
