Chapter 94: Dilemma
Wh Alros woke up, he saw both the former gathered by his side, still sleeping. He gave them a pat, before kissing their cheek before getting of the bed, planning to take a bath.
As he let the cold water washed all the grime from the night activity, he began to think his future plan. The dgame for the near future would always be the conquering of Lunos Forest, and that will never change.
However, whether he wanted to go there after heading into the depth of Forest of Bug, or after he visited the other two danger zones is still up for question. As he begin to do the pros and cons of it, he began to realize he lack intels on the two Danger Zone.
In fact, aside from the most basic knowledge the Betrum Nation let the outsider contact, there should be more of it, as the Nation had spt more than a ctury dealing with the Danger Zone.
"Looks like winging it is way to do things," he mumbled, seeing no other options for him. After all, with lack of knowledge, there is little he could do other than adapting to the dangers of the forest.

He decided to forgo heading into the forest for now, more interested in testing some more things. Mostly looking at the production of the Lust Phantom Wasp, and Lactating Phantom Wasp. Any woman that get stung by any of the two would find themselves at such a disadvantage taking them down should be easy.
As for the m, the Poison Phantom Wasp; Black Poison Ant Varit is, to put it simply, is devastating. The only possible way to obstruct them is to knew of it's resistant, as protecting from wasp stung is very low in the list of worry a soldier or advturer would have.
As long as the elemt of surprise is on his side, they would not be able to protect themselves from it. Though, it did put him in the slight dilemma of how much he wanted to change.
The regular one would be an excellt scout, capable of going into places his previous one like rats and birds could not. Their ability to turn invisible also make it hard to be found, allowing them to gather more information through their ability to connect to him.
For the poison variant, they are the perfect assassin. A little sting and their target would be dead or close to one. After all, the people of Betrum Nation would have never expected the Phantom Wasp are capable of possessing such deadly poison, and the other nation, especially one at the north where it is impossible for insect to survive, they would not be able to predict such thing.
As for the Lust and Lactating variant, they are more too self-indulgt, one he created to help him in his debauchery and depraved activity. And he find them incredible. Though they won't be much use except for subduing wom, the aphrodisiac becoming the most pott weapon in defeating female combatant.
However, his dilemma stream from the fact, which monsters he can use for the more depraved purpose. Wasps are perfect aphrodisiac transporter already, and their stingers did not get stuck make them not suicide bombers like bees.
Aside from that, there is very little he could change without wasting to many resources. He could make the Black Poison Ant to have aphrodisiac substance inside it, and make spread out, but it would be easier to have it carry bomb-like contraption on it as it would make spreading it easier and reducing the usage of the Transmutation Magic Circle.
Aside from the dilemma related to his libido, there is also the fact he did not have the resource necessary to create a type of Phantom Wasp he always wanted to.
The premise is that Phantom Wasp ability to sting it's target with little detection make it the best poison deliver. It could also deliver a poison that instead of killing, making the victim lethargic and weaker, making it easier to subdue.
The target would be varied but if he can use the new species along with Lust Phantom Wasp, it would make battles easier, as one side finding themselves getting weaker before suffering from their desire.
It would have be a foolproof plan, except he did not know what kind of materials he can use to weak the target and how much he would need. The only thing he knew is that it would take a lot of research.
And that is just the one with the Phantom Wasp. There is also the fact he did not know what to do with some of the creatures he had caught. After all, aside from Dream Butterfly, most of his first night caught is something he did not care about.
After all, Moon Moth, while seem powerful, is just at the level of a Demonic Goblin and have no other value as far as he knew. As for the Star Fireflies, they were on the brink of being branded as useless, the only good thing they can do is becoming lamps during the night.
Now that he thought of it, imbuing it with medium related to Light would make it somewhat useful wh he used them inside the caves or ev in the middle of the night inside the forest.
"Looks like Star Firefly is relegated to be somewhat useful. As for Moon Moth, maybe demonifying it or imbuing it with some elemtal medium would make it more powerful. Considering its size, while it could never hope to match Phantom Wasp infiltration ability, it would be amazing in taking other by surprise.
Maybe make it hide behind a hobgoblin and have it unleash it attack wh giv the chance. Though I should make them not attack our side," as he think about it, he began to realize how brok the Transmutation Magic Circle is.
It could turn some pretty useless monsters into a danger in it's own right. As he think more and more of what he could achieve with it, the pottial of the Transmutation Magic Circle become clearer.
"Looks like I find my answer. I will go to the nearest danger zones and collect as many monsters and sample as possible. Th, I will turn them into three differt type; personal preferce, combat, or support.
Yes, this splitting them into three types would make it easier for me to decide where to put them. As for whether I will ter the depth of the Forest of Bug-" he turned his head into the direction of the forest core. "I should take a peek and see the type of monsters inside. But if it get dangerous, I will make a run for it,"
