Every single one I controlled was ordered to go and stay on top of my forces to defend them. I also made sure to leave repeated warnings for Lily to convey to her generals and leaders; don’t touch my aerial monsters!
However, in a single day, I started to hit more stubborn beasts. They took roughly a minute or two, and that meant they weren’t like the normal monsters I enslaved before.
That happened when I cleared a large area outside my force’s place. I ventured deep, too deep in their forces, and that meant I was met with those more evolved ones.
I didn’t know to how much degree did they evolve, but it was enough to get me excited.
Getting evolved beasts? That meant they were strong, far stronger than the rest. Just looking at the longer time gave me an impression over how fierce they were.
At least they were compared with the normal soldiers I controlled before at any fight.
I started to slow down my advance, while supporting my technique using bones. I met such enticing targets, and I planned to take them all.
[I’m facing great resistance… Can’t step into any of the two other continents] and just when I spent an entire day controlling those special monsters, I noticed that the speed of controlling them dwindled back to a few seconds.
That meant I already controlled most if not all of those evolved beasts.
And so I sent a message over to Isac to check over her progress.
[Where are you now?]
[I was forced back to where the forces are]
[Wait for me at the eastern shore, I’m to help]
[Even with your dragons it’s quite impossible! This Lily… What got into her head to use such a large number of dens and summon all these monsters at one go!]
Well… To be honest, it wasn’t Lily’s fault alone. I was also to be blamed here.
Yet I was going to change all that!
If she said it was impossible to press forward even with the help of my dragons, that meant much stronger foes were there.
The stronger the better. Thinking about this made me even drool!
Flying beasts… Just wait, your new lord is coming to take good care of you right now.
I opened a portal and jumped over to the central place of this continent. I spent two days reaching my current point. And if I took a normal flying route, then I’d waste more than a day at least.
“Come on board,” finding her wasn’t a big problem. After all, the area controlled by my forces wasn’t that huge to begin with.
“What do you think you are going to do? And where are those big guns? Those fierce gods or something!”
I got that she was asking about my fallen gods. “No need, let’s go,” I said before opening a chat with Lily, [I cleared most of the aerial monsters. Move out and control more lands]
[I noticed. I’ll press forward. Will we get the help of those you control?]
[No! Leave them alone!]
[Damn! They are so dense to block the sky and shield the sun! Why are you acting as if they are your precious kids?]
[Just leave them be. I have something else for them] I never forgot about that artefact, the one that could allow any race or living being to turn into my warrior.
Like this I planned to replenish the lost soulers. However, I don’t have to do it now. I got tens of millions of them, and that was enough for me at least for now.
So I had to use it for these monsters. Turning them into warriors wouldn’t only help me, but I could also give them to my generals and leaders.
This would be our secret weapon. However we got to secure these three continents before doing anything else.
[I’ll press forward. But if we ran out of ammo… I’ll use these forces of yours, got it!]
She reminded me. Enough days passed already.
[Where is my ammo? Where are my blueprints?]
[Old friend, can you just give me more time for these blueprints?]
[Give me ammo and energy cores first] I didn’t need these blueprints, but this was a good sign on how they were seeing me.
A fat and golden goose! That was what I was to them.
Cool! As long as I’d get my things, I’d keep laying golden eggs for you. But don’t blame me for accepting a better offer if I ever got one.
[I’m sending them over with the bill]
[I got your ammo and energy cores] Before taking a single step away, I sent this to Lily before taking out what I received from Silverlining and emptied them all on the ground.
[At last! They came just in time!]
[I left them at the eastern region]
[I got it!]
I was now ready to move. Silverlining tried to coat his way out using words. He got that I was mad, and indeed I was.
Yet this situation wasn’t going to be solved with just empty words. Besides, who said I needed your help anymore?
I got a far better one on my side, old Gan!
“How do you plan to go through this?” as I crossed a mile, we came towards a thick and densely packed zone with flying beasts.
In fact this looked like they were replacing clouds and even air! I got to see nothing at the distance through their densely packed bodies.
“Watch,” I grinned evilly. The more of them the better! I formed my technique and then left my threads to go and control many of them.
“This… Dammit! How fierce you truly are?!!” and after an hour, Isac couldn’t help but move and glare at me in such a shocking way.
She hadn’t seen me in a fight for a long time already. I got that what she was seeing right now was defying any logic she held before.
But this was my true might. I got the power and ability to control these beasts, so why would I keep my hand then?
