Chapter 49: Shopping In Eldion But Something Went Wrong

Do the soldiers want to destroy their kingdom by provoking someone powerful with high authority such as me?

"Such audacity! Killing citizens in broad daylight?! You must have forgotten that we, the soldiers of Eldion are here to punish evildoers such as yourself!"

Idiots will never learn.

I'll cut the beastman king some slack so I won't destroy his kingdom but it doesn't mean I won't eliminate the annoying pests who had provoked me.

"You are fined 5,000,000 million credits for killing innocent beastman citizens and obstructing the law!"

Innocent my *ss!

These idiots were now making someone who tried to be patient and kind became someone who massacred a whole kingdom just because of some dumb*ss!

5,000,000 million credits? Do they want me to cough up that amount of money just because I killed some demons? Shouldn't they reward me instead?

Oh, God! I do not know what was the reason why you had summoned me in this world full of idiots!

I guess the reason was to purify this world and be free from idiotic beings and build a utopia where only intelligent beings exist.

Wait... Wouldn't that cause more chaos since the intelligent beings might be someone who had the same personality as mine which was arrogance?

After all, most intelligent people were prideful hence, developing the personality known as arrogance.

"Do you even think he has that amount of money? Better to make him a slave or a loyal bodyguard for the king since he could eliminate many beastman citizens in a short amount of time. His power might be enough to become the king's bodyguard."

Become the king's bodyguard? It would even be possible for me to turn the king into my butler or personal tactician.

After all, the beastman king was fully aware of my abilities so if he was present when his soldiers spoke ill of me, then he would have placed the death penalty on his soldiers just so that he couldn't offend me.

Maybe the baseman king's amount of money was getting lower since it must have taken him millions of credits just to restore half of his kingdom and also hire new guards since I killed some of them when they were at the throne room with the heroes.

"How about executing him? An eye for an eye. He killed many innocent citizens so he should also be killed."

One of the soldiers suggested. Well, if the king had heard of this, he would be hanged to death immediately.

Ugh! I'm tired of listening to their pointless talks. I'll just meet the king instead so I could have a good 'chat' with him.

I cast [Gate] then a bright shining white door appeared out of thin air. I walked through it but then I suddenly remembered something.

"Oh! Before I forgot! Since you took most of my time that would have been used for shopping, I would take your life instead."

After I said that, I cast multiple [Miniature Black Hole] and adjusted it to be as small as it could be.

The tiny black holes sucked the head of the beastman soldiers and then its body until none were left as if they didn't exist.

I dispelled the tiny black holes after all of the soldiers were eliminated so that I wouldn't harm any innocent beastman citizens that might be nearby and to reduce any casualties.

I leveled up only once but it was better than nothing since the soldiers were low-level hence I couldn't earn more exp points compared to high-level monsters.

I went through the [Gate] that I had cast and then I was brought into the throne room of the beastman king's palace.

I glanced at the golden throne that was covered with various gemstones which were neatly placed, performing a pattern.

To my surprise, the beastman king wasn't on the throne. I waited patiently while trying to improve my mental skills.

I meditated while enhancing my senses and improving my control over the control of the release of my strength.

I felt a sudden urge to sit on the throne and act like a king but I removed such thought since it would be an insult to the beastman king.

I should thank him for giving me the magic orbs that made my intelligence went up by 200 thousand that was multiplied by 5 which equaled to 1 million.

I was the first hero to attain a million in stat back then but now all of us heroes had a million stats in status.

I focused on my meditation and closed my eyes while I enhanced my mental skills.

********

Two hours had passed. I finished my meditation but the king wasn't present.

Maybe he ran into trouble? Or I might be overthinking it.

I didn't have the [Life Sense] skill which could sense any living beings that were near the caster or at a further distance if more mana was applied to the skill.

I summoned the system interface and looked for the system shop feature. I tapped on the icon where it showed a house with a sign that said "system shop".

Various skills and items were shown after I clicked on the icon which opened the system shop feature.

I saw a search engine so I typed and searched the system shop for the [Life Sense] skill.

I successfully searched the [Life Sense] skill which then showed one result on the search engine so tapped on it.

An icon with a heart and a magnifying glass was shown so I tapped on it which then displayed the functions of the [Life Sense] skill and also its cost.

I bought the [Life Sense] skill without hesitation and then checked the skill description.

______________________

Unique Active Skill- Lvl 1

Life Sense

- As its name implies, it senses life in a 1-meter radius of the caster. The distance that the life sense skill can be increase if added more mana. The caster would be able to see living beings and it would be marked as a red dot in the caster's point of view and a black dot if it is dead.

Usage: 10,000 mana per meter radius.

______________________

Looks like I could use this skill with ease. After all, my mana pool was large enough to cast this skill multiple times without getting exhausted.

I cast [Life Sense]. My vision increased but instead of colorful surroundings that I could see, I could now only see the color gray.

The throne room that was filled with different colors was now gray-colored in my point of view. I input more mana into my [Life Sense] skill to expand the distance that I was able to see.

I focused on my vision and looked around. I saw many red dots so I controlled the skill to only show me the status of the beastman king which turned off the red dots.

I kept on switching my gazes from every direction until I saw a faint red dot below the palace.

Since there was no time and the faint red dot might have indicated that the beastman king was on the verge of death, I cast [Pass Through Solid] despite I needed an insane amount of mana needed for the skill to be cast.

I just stood while the skill had been cast so I passed through multiple floors until I dispelled my skill after I reached the bottom part of the palace where the faint red dot was located.

I turned off my [Life Sense] skill which allowed me to see my surroundings with different colors now instead of the color gray.

I saw the beastman king inside a prison cell while both of his hands were being cuffed.

The beastman king's clothing was dirty and footprints were present on his clothing. I can infer that the king was being stepped and stomped by someone.

"Please help me, goblin hero! I don't know how you got here but I must inform you that the kingdom is in danger! Several demons had disguised themselves as beastman and some of them kidnapped me! They locked me up in the prison below the palace where we locked up notorious criminals."

The King was indeed right. I saw multiple beastman with a killing intent that was much more intense than mine.

Should I save the beastman king? Nah, it's too much of a hassle. After all, I came here to buy Pedonar some furniture.

"What would I get in return?"

"Anything! Anything as long as it is within my power whether it would be money, women, or a part of my territory!"

"Deal! But I already have a fiancee so I'm not going to accept your offer on women but money would suffice."

After I said that, I cast [Wind Blade] to cut off the prison bars and the iron cuffs that bounded the beastman king.

"Ah, before I forgot, I would ask for another reward for freeing you."

"What do you want?", the beastman king asked.

I switched my gaze towards the criminals that were locked in prison.

"I need the criminals to be my underlings."

"Would you be alright? After all, they are notorious criminals who have many years of imprisonment."

"I would be fine."

"Why do you need them?"

I glanced towards the criminals before returning mine towards the beastman king.

"More allies, more power, right? If they become my slaves, killing the demon lords will be much easier!"
