Chapter 54: Making The Dragon Princess My Slave

I lifted the gigantic ball of fire on my left hand.

"Do you want to burn and become roasted dragon meat or become my slave?"

"You wouldn't do that, would you?"

"I would do it. I'm serious."

"If I'm not mistaken, then my father had warned you not to hurt me, right?"

"Yes, but he only told me not to kill you so I can still enslave you."

"Aren't you using underhanded methods just so you could defeat me?"

"I will do everything just so that I could fulfill my goals whatever the cost and whatever the sacrifice. You know what? I'm done negotiating with you and it seems that you chose the former."

After I said that, I cast multiple [Sun's Wrath] and kept on increasing its power while supplying it with my mana and the boost that I got from the array.

"Prodigy!"

I activated my passive skill. It multiplied both my wisdom and intelligence stat by five.

My mana pool and mana power increased by several folds and I was able to merge the multiple [Sun's Wrath] into [Magnificence Of The Sun].

The huge balls of fire slowly merged and formed into a bigger and hotter ball of fire with condensed flames.

"I give up! I'm willing to be your slave!"

Aileen surrendered after she witnessed my powerful skill being cast.

I did not hesitate so I dispersed the ginormous ball of fire and appeared in front of Aileen in an instant.

"Are you sure you want me to enslave you instead of killing you?"

"I'm sure of it even though I don't want it to happen but what can I do in front of a powerful opponent?"

Ah, yes... The feeling of being weak. Well, she was considered as powerful but in front of someone more powerful than her, her power was weak in front of a powerful being.

"You should thank your old men for changing my decision and enslaving you instead."

After I said that, I directed my hand towards Aileen and cast [Enslave] on her.

A scroll appeared with a feather pen and a bottle of ink. Aileen and I signed the contract and now she is my slave.

"You can have a chat with your old man and other people who I had a contract with must obey my order even if I command you to die which was unlikely since you are far too useful to be used as a disposable slave."

"Yes, master!"

Aileen bowed in front of me and Aileen and I walked towards my teammates.

{Where is my father, master?}

He is currently sleeping inside the system inventory.

{What is the system inventory and what is a system?}

Just ask your old man after he wakes up. It's too bothersome to answer questions right now. I used up some of my mana so my body is stiff. I need to rest for a while.

{I understand, master.}

Do you want to take a rest at the system inventory or accompany us on our journey?

{I will accompany master and master's comrades.}

Okay. I will talk with the pope after we arrived at the holy church to give you a room on the second floor.

{Okay, master.}

I walked towards my teammates and told them that they were going back to the Holy Church while I'm going to Eldion.

They all agreed except for Aerin who showed some hesitation and worried about me since I was already kidnapped but I told her that I'm going back after I'm done with my business in Eldion.

Aerin agreed so I opened up a portal using [Gate] which led to the Holy Church. They all entered the portal while I stayed behind with Aileen.

"Are we going to the rotten kingdom filled with demons known as Eldion, master?"

"How did you know, Aileen?"

"I sent a level 500 fire dragon to inform me about the situation in Eldion and he told me that Eldion was infested with demons who disguised themselves as beastman. What's more infuriating was that the beastman king did not know about it."

"So you were the one who sent the level 500 fire dragon that I had slain?"

"Well, yes. But, I did not expect that you could defeat the dragon. The fire dragon went rampage and did not heed my command so I did not care that you slew it."

"Okay, I understand now. But, we still need to go to Eldion so I can buy some furniture and have a chat with the beastman kings and the other slaves."

"How many slaves have you enslave in total including me and my father."

"There are 31 slaves. The two are you and the dragon king and the 28 are some notorious criminals but they heed my command with utmost loyalty so we don't have to worry about them going rampage. The other one is the demon you had fought with who is known as Pedonar."

"Ah, I see... So what's the point of meeting up with the king, master? Master could just buy some furniture and leave Eldion without meeting up with the beastman king."

"I plan to make the beastman king my puppet so that he would listen to my every command without any hesitation. It would be highly possible since the beastman king regarded me as his lifesaver and benefactor."

"That is indeed a great plan. With the beastman king's military resources and intel, we could use it against the other kingdoms and slowly capture the other kingdoms."

"Yes, that's right. Even though I'm too lazy to dominate the world or some kingdoms, it is still highly necessary to do so since I need to have a lot of allies if I want to confront a lot of demons."

I also need to make other heroes my slave except for Aerin and the others. I already have Pedonar and Aileen at my command and other criminals as my slave.

The good news was that the hero summoning is going to be held at the holy church so I can approach the heroes as their seniors while taking advantage of their innocence towards this world.

I will make sure that the heroes that will be summoned into this world will be at my command.

If I succeeded in that, then I can use them as fodder when I will fight with the demon lords.

"I will open up a portal that will teleport us to Eldion. Aileen, pretend that you are just my acquaintance and don't tell the beastman king that you are the dragon hero. The humans and other races are clueless that each race could have a hero."

Aileen nodded in agreement. I cast [Gate] and Aileen and I entered the portal which teleported us to Eldion.

Aileen and I entered the palace while activating [Stealth] so that we would not attract any unwanted attention.

As much as I wanted beating and killing ignorant guards, the beastman king might have a heart attack after knowing that I had wiped out his troops so I might as well do him a favor.

Aileen and I successfully entered the palace.

We entered the throne room where the beastman king and the 28 criminals who disguised themselves as the royal guards of the king so that it would not cause an uproar were present.

Aileen and I dispelled the [Stealth] that we applied to ourselves.

"Greetings, goblin hero. I will not ask you to tell me who the person beside you since if she is your friend, then she is also my friend."

"Thanks for the understanding, beastman king. Shall we get to the point?"

"Ah, yes, certainly. As you had known already that Eldion was invaded by demons, the status of Eldion as a kingdom was plummeting and the other kingdom caught wind of the situation so they are currently trying to dominate my kingdom and telling that I should be grateful that they turned a blind eye on my kingdom's predicament."

"How about we execute all the kingdom rulers who opposed you, beastman king?"

"I agreed with that but we must think of the outcome of our action. If we do that, then who will lead their kingdom when they are invaded by demons or when the time is come to attack the demons?"

"How about we send a spy into their kingdom?"

"Are you planning to send the criminals that you had to enslave into their kingdom to work as a spy?"

"Yes, and I'm planning that we will do..."

********

Aileen was listening to the conversation that I had with the beastman king while also giving her suggestions.

I talked with the beastman king about my plan for an hour and we came to a decision that we are going to infiltrate the other kingdoms using the criminals and let them work as a spy to gather intel.

Aileen and I are currently at one of the furniture shops in Eldion to buy furniture for both Aerin and Pedonar.

I stored the furniture that I had bought into the system inventory and even though it attracted some attention, it was still only for a while since the space magic known as [Item Box] was popular amongst sorcerers.

I cast [Gate] and Aileen and I entered it and we were teleported into the Holy Church.

I gave the furniture that I had bought to Aerin and Pedonar and they thanked me in return after that, they returned to studying magic.

I went to the Holy Church but I was met by the pope at the entrance of the Holy Church.

"Goblin hero, I need your assistance on summoning the heroes since you are talented at magic and have a large mana pool!"

Looks like today was the day they will summon the heroes.
