Chapter 428: Preparing for War

‘Oh my god! This is so ridiculous! As expected! Aaaah, just like I expected, I’m the only sane and normal person in this territory!’

This was the thought that passed through Minhyuk’s head.

Hell’s Gatekeeper, Cerberus, became the leader of the puppy troops! In all honesty, the impact of this was no different from when Minhyuk named them ‘Love, Hope, and Happiness’. But Minhyuk did not see that fact.

‘Ignoring that, how can the livestock achieve something like that?’

This was beyond common sense! So, Minhyuk looked at Brod’s stats window.

(Brod)

Rank: Supreme NPC

Type: Vassal

Level: 682

Attack: 7,559

Defense: 4,683

Special Abilities:

•Passive Skill: The One with God

•Active Skill: Mercenary’s Pinnacle Swordsmanship

•Active Skill: Continent’s Tyrant

•Passive Skill: Livestock Training

•Passive Skill: Livestock Communication

Potential: 135

Experience Value: 18% / 100%

Minhyuk, whose pupils were shaking, could tell that there were changes in Brod’s stats with just one glance. The first thing that he noticed was...

‘His potential increased?’

Having a high potential meant that there was a chance that they would become strong. However, growing stronger did not mean that their potential would increase. After all, potential was, for most, a stat that could not grow nor develop further.

And yet, Brod’s potential had grown from 115 to 135. Simply put, raising the livestock had opened up a new path for Brod to become even stronger than he was before.

There was one more thing.

‘His passive skill Dreaming Talent has become the passive skill The One with God...’

The effects of his original passive ‘Dreaming Talent’ were as follows:

(Dreaming Talent)

Passive Skill

Level: None

Effects: Dreaming Talent. As long as you have the passion for something, you will be able to reach the pinnacle.

That was right. Dreaming Talent was the skill that could allow Brod to reach the pinnacle of something as long as he had the passion for it. He could be whatever he wanted. For example, if he had the passion for magic, then he would be able to become a great mage. Or if he chose to become a priest, he would be able to become a pope. But this skill changed and became ‘The One with God’.

(The One with God)

Passive Skill

Level: None

Effects:

• God came to watch over the one with the Dreaming Talent, after seeing him devote his efforts to one thing more than anybody else.

• God will build him a foothold to grow further and stronger.

• As he grows further and stronger in his field of choice, God will bestow him gifts.

‘Hoo...?’

The description of the skill ‘The One with God’ had astonishing content. In fact, the contents of the skill gave Minhyuk a hint as to why the livestock was able to become special like that.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

‘So God intervened?’

Brod also had two new skills, the ‘Livestock Training’ and ‘Livestock Communication’. Minhyuk immediately checked the information of the new skills.

(Livestock Training)

Passive Skill

Level: None

Effects:

• The animals, with every training, will be able to learn and grow like humans.

• Whenever the animals train, their EXP acquisition rate will increase by 100x until they reach a certain level.

• Whenever the animals train, their stat acquisition rate and skill proficiency acquisition rate will increase by 100x until they reach a certain level.

• When they reach a certain point, the animals will ‘evolve’.

• Brod, the skill owner, will be able to see through the animals characteristics and attributes and create skills that will match them.

“Do you believe?!!!”

“We do!!!”

Then, a warmth covered their shiny and sparkling heads as Corr began to play his recorder. Among these believers stood Lauvredo, the man that once dreamed of becoming a Knight Commander. That was right! Lauvredo was also bald!

Shockingly enough, Corr’s abilities had improved to the point that he could grow hair in a day. Of course, Corr did not forget to add these words, “Lord Talmor does not wish for much. Talmor only hopes that you can give a little aid, when and only when Atlas Territory, the place where the power of Talmor originated and resides, is in danger.”

Then, a dark smile flashed on his lips.

In another place, somewhere in the wide expanse of Asgan Continent, a man with black skin and a pair of sunglasses nestled on the bridge of his nose appeared there! The moment this man sat down, a huge crowd gathered around him.

“That man is Aruvel, the author of the novel: ‘Why Did the Prince Go Out Tonight?’!!!”

“The unfortunate genius born from God! Sob, sob, sob. I did not expect to see him in person!!!”

“Mister Aruvel, please take me!!!”

Aruvel held a signing event. Surprisingly enough, among the dense crowd of his fans, there were also players! Then, he stood up from his seat and looked at the crowd. As soon as he stood up, the women fainted while the men stood in a daze.

“Aaaaaaaaah~!”

“Please give us some spoilers!”

Then, Aruvel said, “Well then, let me tell you a bit about my new work: ‘The Prince’s Magic Tools’.”

“Ooooooh!”

“Waaaaaah!”

More people gathered around him. Then, Aruvel opened his mouth, “The prince, even though he could hold any woman that he wanted, felt a deep sense of emptiness wrap around his very being every night. Growing tired of his promiscuous nightlife, he started to crave for something new. One day, the prince got his hands on an ancient book and learned about the existence of the magic tools that the ‘God of Night’ had left on earth! So, he started to look for them. These tools can help him seduce any woman. And once a man and a woman did it together then...”

“Once they did it together?”

Everyone gulped dryly as they listened intently to Aruvel’s words.

“They will feel immense pleasure.”

“Waaaaaaaah...”

“Uwoooooooo!”

Everyone burst into screams of admiration.

“In this book, the protagonist, the prince, travels around the world to acquire these magic tools and write down their uses, the best posture to use them, and much more information about them! This is my next work, the Prince’s Magic Tool!”

“I... I want to read it as soon as possible!”

“When will the book be published?!”

“I will definitely buy it!”

After hearing their warm response, Aruvel grinned and said, “I will distribute this work for free. However, in exchange, I hope that you can help me in times of need.”

“Of course!!!”

“Aaaah! Aruvel, you’re my idol!!!”

“I will drop everything and run if you call for me!!!”

Aruvel was very pleased.

At the same time, in another place.

Grandpa Ben, while combing his black hair, sat inside the lord’s castle in Eid’s Territory, a huge territory with powerful troops under Marquis Bard.

“Tsk, tsk. The lord is like a stick, so stubborn and inflexible.”

Grandpa Ben, as someone that personally taught them at one point in time, was regarded as the father of all of the spear masters.

“B... but... Cough...”

“Ho? Are you falling? Do you want me to make you stand on one arm for an entire day like in the past?!”

“N...No. Not at all, master!”

Eid Territory’s Marquis Bard felt his body, which was the epitome of ‘burying the head in the ground’, shake at the thought of everyone seeing him like this.

Then, Ghost Spear Ben said, “As a child, you did not have any talent for the spear. However, I did not give up on you. When you were a baronet, you grew until you were hailed as a ‘spear master’, a feat that allowed you to get promoted to the position of a marquis.

“I remember! I will never forget your grace and kindness!”

That was right. To others, Bard was a marquis. But in front of Ben, he was just a young and immature disciple.

“I don’t want you to help me officially. Secretly. You just need to help me secretly.”

“Then, then... even though our numbers are small, we will still come to help you!”

“Stand up.”

“Yes, sir!”

Marquis Bard’s face was flushed from the effort of maintaining his posture earlier. He was even sweating profusely. Ghost Spear Ben looked at him happily as he opened his notepad and crossed out the name ‘Bard’ on the list.

“I’ll drop by your territory sometime soon. I’ll make you a cup of cat luwak coffee.”

“Thank you, master!”

As he left the lord’s castle, Ghost Spear Ben thought, ‘Next will be Spear God Asveto’s territory.’

All of the people that Minhyuk dispatched were working hard on diplomatic activities, in their own special ways.
