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 trust me, he's a good person, and of course, he's powerful."
The five youths regained their composure and relaxed their vigilance a little. "Sir, it's rude that we haven't introduced ourselves. Let it start with me, I'm Erick, and they are my colleagues.""Sir, I’m Louis."
"I'm Daniel."
"I'm Taro, and this is my sister Akira."
Ares smiles politely, then introduces himself and his new company on this journey so far, "I am Ares, and you must know his name is Ashur. He’s my partner, but also like my brother and bodyguard."Ashur, who is a vassal, moves closer to his master after he introduces him. Ares never looks down on him in the slightest. The brief introduction ended, and they walked together towards the village where Erick and the others lived.
The brief introduction ended, and they walked together towards the village where Erick and the others lived. Each person brings a wolf with yellow fur, except for Ashur, who can carry four of it at once.
"Pretty strong, the two of them are very, very strong," Erick murmured in his heart, and his four companions did the same.Arriving at the village, Erick invites Ares and Ashur to enter the town through the main gate. Around the village, a fence made of logs was built. Sturdy but not strong enough to protect the town from beasts or monsters.Entering the village, Ares could see the condition of the town, and it was pretty alarming. Many uninhabitable buildings stand in the village. Skinny little kids with bulging bellies often Ares see along the way. The condition of adults and parents is not much different from that of their children.
"What a pitiful village," he thought as he continued to follow Erick."We arrived. Put the game here, and let the women process it," Erick said after they arrived in front of the most prominent house in the village.
Ares is quite surprised by the condition of the house in front of him, which is much more liveable than the other houses. Erick smiles at him, still in his feelings. "This house used to belong to the village head. But after our leader leaves this village, this is the only house left. Manta, the village head, left the village with all his possessions and took all the treasures in the storage barn."Erick took a deep breath; a deep disappointment also appeared on his face. Then he opens his mouth again, "He stole all the treasures and left while we were all gardening. Since the former village head left, the situation of this village has deteriorated, and finally, it is what it is now."
"The location of this village is quite close to the forest. The fences you built are also not very strong, and again there is a shortage of guards here. The vacancy of leaders also makes this village increasingly neglected." Ares sits back while thinking about finding the best solution for the village where Erick lives.
"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
Halen and Dorgan have already finished their meal first. Due to being busy with the system, Ares is slow while finishing his food.After eating, he invited Halen to leave the restaurant and continue their journey. Ares looked at the maid who had served him when he was on the first floor."Miss maid, do you know where the slave market is?" Ares asked."Of course, I know, sir. The slave market is in the north area of this city. You just have to walk straight and find a slave market there.""Thank you," he said as he handed a platinum coin to the waiter, who he immediately greeted with a respectful gesture from the waiter.As soon as he knows the location of the slave market, Ares immediately takes Halen to the market. I arrived at a place called the slave market. Ares and Halen are greeted by a man who is a guide at the slave market. The man immediately asks Ares’ intention.“I want to buy all the slaves in this place,&rdqu
