With the Special Skill Magicules Solidification.
As long as Rin and Ogerpon continuously increase their magicules, their physical strength will also continue to increase, making magicules directly proportional to physical strength.
"Finally, there's Explosion Magic and Oni Transformation."
Explosion Magic, in the Cardinal World's judgment, is defined as Nuclear Magic.
Nuclear Magic refers to magic with destructive power comparable to nuclear weapons, considered a classification system by the people of the Cardinal World for gauging magical destruction levels.
For example, the Explosion Magic that Rin previously cast, which consumed a large amount of magicules and time, fell within the scope of small-scale Nuclear Magic.
Of course, due to differing world levels.
The soil, rocks, and gravity of the Cardinal World far exceed those of other worlds.
So being able to cause nuclear-explosion-level destruction in the Cardinal World, when brought to other worlds, could potentially sink continents or even destroy planets.
"Has Ogerpon also mastered such a large-scale destructive move?"
Rin felt quite reassured about this.
There was nothing he could do; his attributes ultimately couldn't compare to Ogerpon's.
Although Ogerpon didn't have the passive buffs from Rin's Mage profession, her A-Rank magicule reserve completely overwhelmed the current Rin.
It's easy to imagine just how terrifying the power would be if the current Ogerpon were to cast Explosion Magic.
"Ogerpon."
"What is "Oni Transformation" like?"
Rin was quite interested in this, so he asked Ogerpon to perform Kijin Transformation once.
Ogerpon's body erupted with fierce magicules.
The next moment, Ogerpon's body began to swell, rapidly growing from a small stature of less than 1.4 meters to a height of 1.8 meters.
Not only that, her sharp Ogre horns, fierce eyes, and seemingly slender yet explosively powerful physique all indicated how terrifying Ogerpon was in this state.
If the previous Ogerpon was a cute little girl.
Then the fully transformed Ogerpon had clearly become a beautiful older sister with an impressive figure.
Even Rin, who had always treated Ogerpon as his younger sister, couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

[Oni Transformation]
[Description: Temporarily increases one's actual combat power by one rank, but consumes a large amount of magicules.]
---
"Appraisal."
Rin unhesitatingly cast Appraisal on Ogerpon in this state.
---
[Ogerpon]
[Danger Assessment: Special A (Disaster Class)]
---
"Disaster Class!!"
Rin hadn't expected Ogerpon's transformation to provide such a significant boost.
Even though Ogerpon's magicule quantity was still A-Rank, her actual combat power was such that even a veteran A+ powerhouse might not be able to defeat her.
Coupled with this Oni Transformation ability, Ogerpon forcefully received a Special A assessment.
"Ogerpon, how long can you maintain this state?"
"Hmm..."
Ogerpon thought for a moment, then obediently said, "About... 5 minutes."
In other words, Ogerpon, at full burst, could maintain Special A combat power for 5 minutes.
"All right, change back."
"Mhm."
Ogerpon's body quickly shrank, and in the blink of an eye, she returned to her petite form.
"Ogerpon has gotten stronger. Rin, have you gained power from Ogerpon?"
"Haha."
"Of course I have."
Rin stroked the little one's head and laughed. "Ogerpon provided me with a full 6000 Existence Value."
"Now, I'm also B-Rank, you know."
The Leader Unique Skill allows Rin to gain about half of his subordinate's Existence Value.
Ogerpon's Existence Value is 12000, so the amount transferred to Rin is 6000.
In addition, Rin himself had also made some breakthroughs.
His original base Existence Value was only 500 points.
But because of this battle, Rin also gained "merit," which is recognition from the voice of the world.
Although not much, it at least allowed Rin to escape the weakling category.
To describe it numerically, it probably increased from 500 Existence Value to 1500.
Among monsters, this is already equivalent to D-Rank.
"So, Rin's current magicules are 7500, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ogerpon immediately perked up. "Ogerpon will continue to work hard to let Rin evolve soon too!"
Yes, Rin can also evolve.
As a hybrid of demon and human, setting aside the human bloodline for now.
The demon bloodline also grants Rin the ability to evolve like monsters.
However, Rin is not yet clear what his demon bloodline is.
In addition, there was another piece of good news.
That is, as Rin broke through from C-Rank to B-Rank, his subordinate slots also changed from the original 1/3 to the current 1/6.
"Do I gain 3 new subordinate slots every time I advance a rank?"
Rin originally thought that the upper limit of subordinate slots could not be changed, but he didn't expect them to continue increasing with his strength.
In that case, there's no need to be too conservative with the subordinate slots.
"Ogerpon?"
Suddenly, Ogerpon, who was cuddling with Rin, seemed to sense something.
She turned her head and looked in a certain direction but didn't see anything suspicious, which puzzled Ogerpon.
"What's wrong?"
Rin noticed Ogerpon's actions and asked curiously.
"A gaze..."
Ogerpon said, "Just now, it seemed like someone was peeking at us, but Ogerpon couldn't find the peeping person."
"This is already the second time. The first was when Master used Explosion Magic."
"Peeking at us?"
Rin naturally wouldn't think Ogerpon was being overly sensitive.
Ogerpon was a monster now, but she still retained her Pokémon abilities, and her perception of external dangers still existed.
Someone is secretly observing us... Who could it be?
Rin thought of many possibilities, such as Clayman, one of the Ten Great Demon Lords.
This Insect Monster appeared very abruptly, unlike how it was in the original novel.
Otherwise, with that wave just now, even if Benimaru could escape, the remaining Ogre Clan would surely suffer heavy losses.
Besides Clayman, there are also the guardians of the Great Jura Forest, those Dryads.
Rin couldn't be sure which side it was. The Dryads are fine. I don't have any fundamental conflict with them.
Rin used Explosion Magic to destroy the Insect Monsters that were harming the forest's ecosystem.
The Tree Elves wouldn't bear ill will toward him because of this.
But if it's Clayman...
Clayman's strength in the original novel indeed seemed like a clown.
But he was a Demon Lord after all, and Rin wouldn't truly underestimate him.
According to the novel's setting, Clayman in his half-awakened state has an Existence Value of about 700,000.
But he's definitely not that strong now. At most between 300,000 and 400,000.
Such power, for the current Rin and Ogerpon, was indeed an unmatchable strong enemy.
"I can only hope that the next few worlds will allow Ogerpon to grow stronger quickly."
Clayman was not an awakened Demon Lord, just a Demon Lord.
And Ogerpon's Growth skill, even after reaching the Demon Lord stage, could continue to grow.
Using the Great Jura Forest as nourishment, combined with abilities from other worlds.
As long as Rin and Ogerpon were given time, surpassing Clayman would be a relatively easy task.
"And now..."
Rin looked at Benimaru and the others who were rushing toward them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. "It's time for you all to contribute your strength."
