Conqueror

Chapter 96: After the Invasion

A week has passed and the battle ended between the Three Kings' 60,000 army and the hordes of beasts and monsters that they were fighting. I held off my own kingdom's troops and let them take the fight themselves. Hundreds were the only ones that died on our side but the Three Kings' army was forced to retreat when they lost nearly 70% of their army. There was some demons inside of the turtle that came out and slaughtered everyone they saw. Their thirst for blood was suppressed by ordering Hryth to stop the attack and the uneasy beasts and monsters returned back to their own habitats.

I then met the three others. Brutus, Sylvana and Grytua. Zeta was so insistent on not letting Grytua join our forces but he gave in at the end. He didn't want to tell me the details so something must've happened at their battle.

Brutus was still recuperating from his severed hand. They can resurrect but they can't heal that fast on lost limbs. He seemed to be scared of Yefa for some reason?

And Sylvana seemed to be... fidgeting wildly when she was near me. To cause such trauma to a demon. I must be one myself.

I asked Rize for details but it was nothing great. It was just unpleasant and she was uncomfortable to talk about it too.

Sylvana took the first move and mind controlled Rize. She couldn't feel anything but she could only watch her body being torn by the whip Sylvana was using. Rize doesn't have counteracts for mind control. I might give her Insanity Immunity but... I think I'll hold off on it for now. They've receive heavy mental damage from passing the gazer armor.

As I looked at them seven demons sitting in a seiza position, they seemed to be surprisingly more subservient than before? Well, seeing me in a fit of rage might've caused unnecessary fear which I don't like.

"For now you seven will accompany these Crimson Knights. I'll have to do something. If there's an extra, double team on someone. I don't know what orders to give so do what you want but as long as they're there it should be fine."

"Yes!" They then stood up and got near to the person they were going to follow.

"I'll be going now. Aura." I closed my eyes and pinpointed the location of Caesar by spreading my aura throughout the whole kingdom. "Teleport!" As soon as I opened my eyes, I was next to him.

"My King. The construction is complete. We're just doing some checkups." He doesn't seemed to be fazed by me appearing next to him in an instant.

I didn't mind it and went ahead and opened the giant door before me revealing the insanely large room fitted with giants of tools such as anvils and hammers.

"My King, there's something you might be careful with."

"Hmm? Why, what's wrong?"

"I could feel your aura over here and uhh... You knocked most of our workers unconscious. You used aura then teleported right beside me right?" Caesar wasn't unfazed. His feet were actually shaking from sheer fear.

I forgot that aura doesn't suppress but actually enhance my killing intent. "Oops... the people of this kingdom..."

"We'll make up something later... Anyway, what do you want to do with this giant room?"

"I'll solve our horrible armory equipments." I opened my inventory and grabbed Vulcan. "Vulcan, come out!"

"Vulcan!? One of the god of fire!?" Caesar became even more scared.

Ah. I used a god's name for a golem. I hope they aren't too pissed at this. And I also used the name Gaia for my other golem... I faced palm myself out of pure stupidity. I hope I don't offend them.

Vulcan came out and his soaring hot lava flowing from his body fell onto the ground. But I made some arrangements before hand. The ground beneath him is a container that can hold lots of lava and at the corners of the room, there's wind blowing up the lava to redirect all of it to the giant cauldron near the giant anvil.

This whole underground base cost around a million gold to make. We'll be in debt for a while but it'll be worth it.

"Uwahh... I thought the real god of fire will come out."

"I forgot that it was a god's name... Anyway... Vulcan, I'll give you some tasks to do."

"Anything for master."

"Can you forge some weapons and armor? Preferably the size of a human."

"Yes... I don't have... sufficient materials..." He seemed to be tired.

"Caesar, you handle the materials. Just give him whatever he needs to forge equipment."

Caesar then nodded in agreement and went ahead and ran out of the room to organize the papers and everything needed.

"Master, what should I do now...?"

"I'll give you everything you need. For now, take a rest for some time. I'll wake you up after so you better rest up a lot."

"I appreciate it master." Vulcan then lay over the ground and it shook the entire room. His lava that was flowing all over his body stopped and it was releasing hot waves of steam.

I went back to the castle and sat down in my office. Contemplating on what's my next move. I guess I need to keep the pressure on The Three Kings. But what could I do? We're severely outnumbered.

But for now that's not the matter. I need some things to talk about Afal.

And speak of the devil, a knock was heard outside my office.

"Come in." I ordered.

The man came in and it was none other than Afal.

"My lord, I'll tell you all the details that I remembered."

"Sit." I said as I pointed on the sit infront of my desk. He complied and sat down.

"Do you know why the artifact dungeon of where I came from was only level 40?"

"Now that you say that... I am curious. I checked the level requirement for Bloodlust and it was about level 200. I can equip it since my unique class skill is activated."

"Because Bloodlust is not the artifact."

"What do you mean? Did I miss something there?"

"I am the artifact."
