Ares nodded and said, “Okay, summon the subordinate.”
A portal opened in front of Ares. A man came out of it and knelt before him.
“I am Ashur, your loyal servant, sir,” the man said.
Ares was stunned by Ashur’s level. He thought,
“Level 2,200? How is this guy so much stronger than me?”
“Master, don’t worry. Your subordinates are absolutely loyal to you. Even if they are stronger, they will never betray you.”
Ares nodded again. He said, “Ashur, stand up. And don’t call me master. Just use my name.”
“I apologize, sir, but that is too disrespectful. You are my master forever, and I, Ashur, dare not call you by your name,” he said and rose.
Ares gave up on changing his mind. He didn’t mind having a loyal servant.
“Ashur, follow me. We have something to do in the city,” he said and ran back to Avalon City with Ashur behind him.
***
In the early morning, five kilometers south of Avalon City. Some security officers were patrolling and found thousands of fresh beast corpses with severe wounds. Most of them died from explosions, and hundreds were beheaded.
“There are 20 level 500 beasts and nearly two hundred beasts with levels above 300. If they attacked the city, we would be doomed. And look over there, there are thousands more,” one of the security officers said.
“We would be gone in minutes,” another one said.
“They are powerful, but they are dead. And Avalon City is safe for now. But the question is who killed them? And whose side are they on?” the leader of the security officers said. He was standing on a pile of beast corpses that were about to be burned.
They would take the bodies of the beasts with levels above 200 to the city. Eating their meat would give some experience to whoever ate it.
“Let’s hope they are on our side,” the security officer next to the leader said.
If Ares saw the leader’s face, he would recognize him. He was one of the three people he had met before.
While there was confusion and worry in the forest, a young man and an adult man were enjoying some grilled meat in an old abandoned building. Ares and Ashur were having breakfast with rabbit meat that Ashur had hunted.
[Main mission unlocked] [After reaching level 200, the main missions will be unlocked one by one.] [Mission to create a territory] [The master is expected to create a village and become its leader] [Requirements for creating a village] [Population: 0/500] [Security Officer: 0/10] [Mission Reward: +2,000,000 exp » +2,000,000 coins » Getting a subordinate] [The mission will last for one month (30/30). Mission failure -200 levels]
Ares knew that he would get this mission sooner or later in his new world. But he was not used to being a leader. He preferred to work alone. Even if he had to lead someone, it would be only four people at most.
“I have enough time, 30 days. But where should I build my village? And how should I find 500 residents?” Ares thought with a gloomy expression.
“Master, are you troubled? I’m sorry, but you don’t look very happy.”
Ares said, “Ashur, I have a dream of building a village. Will you help me with that?” He asked.
“Of course, master. You won’t be alone in this journey. I, Ashur, will gladly assist you in building your kingdom, sir.”
Ares smiled at his answer. He said, “Let’s go after we finish eating. We need to find a suitable location for my dream. We can worry about the population later, after we find a place to build our village.”
Ares and Ashur left Avalon City a week ago. They kept moving northward. They had traveled more than 10,000 kilometers from the city.
Ares wanted to go north because the system told him that there were many high-level beasts and monsters there. It was a dangerous place, but it was also a perfect place for Ares to establish his village.
He didn’t forget to hunt any beasts or monsters he met on the way. He leveled up more than 100 times in a week, while Ashur only leveled up ten times at most. He needed more experience to level up.
The farther north they went, the more beasts or monsters with levels above 700 they encountered. Ashur even killed fifty beasts with levels above 1,000. On the seventh day, at noon, they heard some noises of explosions and metal clashing.
They were curious and followed the source of the noise. They hid behind some thick leaves and saw what was making the noise. It was a fight.
“Five people with level 300, against ten yellow fur wolves with levels above 500. Those five are doomed,” Ares whispered to Ashur.
“Don’t you want to save them, master?”
“Yes, I do. But I’m waiting for the right moment,” he said with a smirk. Ashur didn’t understand his words.
“Master, they will die soon. I think this is the right moment to save them.”
“This is exactly what I’m waiting for.”
Ares dashed towards the two yellow fur wolves that were about to jump on one of the five people.
TRING! DASH!
His sword slashed through their necks and cut off their heads.
He moved quickly and killed the rest of the yellow fur wolves with his sword. He gained some experience from them, but not enough to level up.
“Are you okay?” He asked the five youths who were staring at him in awe.
“S-sir, thank you for saving us,” one of them said on behalf of the others.
“You’re welcome. We humans should help each other.” He waved his sword and cleaned it from the blood.
“This forest is full of beasts and monsters that are stronger than you. You are looking for death if you stay here.”
The five youths look at each other. They can’t get angry or refute what Ares said. They are indeed weak, and they realize that. One in five youths ventured to speak to Ares. "Sir, our village is in a state of famine. The harvest in the garden failed due to the attack of wild beasts. That's why the five of us, as the strongest people in the village, tried to hunt for meat. Instead of the meat we got, we got lost and went deeper into the forest." "Take all the body parts from this wolf, and I will escort you back to the village. Ashur, come take them out!" he shouted, calling for his partner.From the thick of the tree emerged an adult man with an athletic body and handsome face but still lost to Ares' perfect look. The large green sword stuck behind Ashur’s back made him very dignified. Seeing the arrival of Ashur, the five youths who Ares was helping are a little wary. Then he decided to speak to lighten the mood, "You don't need to be wary. My brother's face is a little scary, but
"Why don't you make this village yours? This village has all the conditions to complete your mission, sir." There is a system sound that makes his face brighten up instantly. He starts to speak, “Erick, I can help this village and make it much better than how it is today. But I have one condition." I haven't asked yet, but I already got a breath of fresh air. Of course, Erick and the others are pleased to hear Ares’ offer. Even though they are new to each other, they may feel he is not the wrong person. After all, if Ares is a bad person, what will he want to take anyway. The village is already poor, the children aren’t that attractive, and the women are weak and might not be enough to fill his charm. "If indeed you can make the condition of this village improve, whatever conditions you put forward, we will agree to it, sir," Erick said with confidence. "I want to be the leader of this village," Ares responded to his words directly without rambling. Erick and the others fall silen
Ashur saluted Hera because he felt that Hera was much stronger than him. As for Hera, she stood up and just nodded at Ashur’s attitude. Before returning to the village, Ares checks his status. He has not seen his level for several days. He hopes that there will be a significant change in his strength. [Name: Ares Shaddai. He is Human at the age of 17] [Level: 440] next level [1,240/1990] [Strength: [867] [Agility: 869] [Vitality: 868/868] [Stamina: 869 / 869] [Luck: 874] [Mana: 5260/5260] [Points: [01] [Skills: Appraisal, Fireballs, Healing, Double Slash, Light Step] [Elements: Light, White Flame, Ice, Lightning] [Money Coins: 27,591,000] [Shop is open] [Subordinate: Hera & Ashur] "Two subordinates in my profile are stronger than me. I am nothing compared to them," Ares thought. Ares' strength with the strength of his two subordinates is very far away. However, with the help of the system, it is not difficult for him to level up his power. Seeing the morning light starting to come
It is still early; the sun has not yet come as it should. In a place that initially stood a village, now that place has been razed to the ground, without a single building standing on it, however, only in seconds. In a place previously level with the ground miraculously in that place stands a city with a solid fortress that surrounds the entire town. From outside the city fort, you can see a large and sturdy building that stands right in the middle of the city.From within the city came 400 city guards, led by four commanders. The city guard soldiers are level 600, while the commanders are level 1000.“This is the city I promised you guys,” Ares said as he stared at the entire Babylon village, who had fallen silent with their mouths wide open.
Hera, who is left like that, isn’t offended at all. In silence, she admires the figure of her master. Not wanting to disappoint Ares, she immediately does what he ordered her to do.Continuing to dart northward, Ares finally found a cave with a very dark and very intimidating aura. The mouth of the cave is covered in vines, which adds to the mysteriousness of the cave that he just discovered."System, is this the cave you're referring to has a pure darkness elemental core?" Ares asked the system, and it is the system that shows him the existence of the mysterious cave.“Inside the cave, there is a pure darkness element core, but inside there are also two powerful beings that inhabit the cave.”“How strong are those two creatures?” He tried to look inside the cave, but it was too dark, and he saw nothing.“The strength of the two of them, when combined, will be equivalent to Ashur’s power.”
The system seals the spoken words so Ares can't hear them. Time keeps running. Without realising it, the sun was already on the western horizon, indicating that the day would soon end and be replaced with night.Finally, Ares can absorb and master the essence of the element of darkness in the cave. Seeing his success, Dorgan is finally able to smile happily."Father's inheritance has found such a suitable being to inherit all of his power after a hundred years." Dorgan chuckled when he saw the aura of pure darkness seeping out of Ares’ body."Besides the white fire element, and the pure darkness element, it turns out that he is also the owner of the holy light element," he muttered when he saw the holy light coming out and blending with the dark aura emittin
One month had passed after Ares rebuilt the Babylon village and made it the equivalent of a Small town. Within a month, the village had indeed become a small town. Many villages not part of the Kingdom or the Empire merged into one and worked hand in hand to develop the city of Babylon.Of the hundreds, there are currently more than five thousand inhabitants of the city of Babylon. The security of Babylon city is also getting more assertive with the joining of hundreds of talented young men and women to the ranks of the city's security soldiers. The city's weakest security soldiers are at level 200, equivalent to a Kingdom's warrior level.In addition to ordinary soldiers, special division troops guard the city against attacks by wild beasts or monsters. Erick and his four companions, whose strength had reached level five hundred, are appointed to the five notable division commanders. There are forty special division members, meaning each commander has ei
Finished with getting to know each other with his new subordinates, Ares takes Halen to the city that was the destination of his trip. The magnificent Gaeta City is now right before his eyes. The long queues at the city's entrance gates show that life in the town of Gaeta is going so well.After being checked and paying ten gold coins, Ares and Halen got permission to enter Gaeta city. Just a few steps into the town, Ares could already see the bustle of the town, which is much livelier than the city he leads."When will Babylon be as busy and big as this city?" Ares mumbled softly that could only be heard.His goal in Gaeta City is only to seek information on the existence of the closest city to the city he leads. Even though a distance of almost 1000 kilometres separates them, the Gaeta is still the nearest city to Babylon.Inside the restaurant, a waiter immediately walked toward Ares and Halen as soon as they were inside the restaurant. The wai
