"There is nothing to be thankful for. We just kept our promises. As for awakening your Battle Soul for the second time, it was all thanks to your willpower and luck."
Neyol shook her head and spoke. She didn't include talent in her sentence because talent can no longer measure his feat.
It would be impossible to awaken the Battle Soul twice so fast after starting their martial journey. So, she had already put Kim into a new category.
Monster!
It was a new category that only those with the strongest feat can enter. Of course, she had seen some people who could rival Kim in such feats, so she put him on this list.
It's just that she never expected her own lover to be on that list. Her heart was beaming with joy.
"Anyway, what do you want to show us?" Hinata changed the topic before Kim could speak and asked.
"Yes, I almost forgot about it. But before I can show you that thing, let's bring the dead people and burn them." Kim said.
Hearing his words, their expression changed.
"Isn't that improper? Shouldn't we bury them?" Neyol couldn't help but speak.
Kim shook his head and said.
"Different people have different kinds of culture. From where I came, burning the dead is the way to end someone's life. Their soul will be purified from the flames and go to Heaven."
"Of course, this is not exactly the reason why I want to burn them. Since we are martial artists, we aren't bound by superstition. And, what I am going to the next will be a bit hard to accept as well."
"So, let's start with burning their bodies."
Hearing his words, the three girls didn't know how to respond. Eventually, they gave up and decided to help him gather those corpses.
Tengu was also curious. He was sitting far away from them but his eyes could easily see every movement around him.
After they gathered those dead bodies in the middle, Kim put them on the dried wood and finally started burning those woods.
Looking at the flames, Kim clenched his fist.
Although it was only short, he still liked this town very much. Not only he spent so much time creating these NPCs but he also spent some time with them after coming to this world.
So, he had a deep connection with them. Now, this connection was making him angry. Because they died for him.
It was his choice.
Suddenly, Neyol and Yeosho held his hands. Hinata also felt extremely guilty so at this moment, Yeosho extended her hand and caught her.
They held each other's hand for a moment and stared at the flame slowly rising toward the sky.
After nearly two hours, the fire finally died. Everyone nervously stared at Kim as he prepared a strange symbol on his palm.
This symbol was created out of his internal energy. After creating this internal energy, he slammed his hand on the ground.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him except Tengu. His eyes were on the ground. With his Observation Technique, he could see the bones slowly coming out of the ground.
He didn't know how to describe this situation,
He had seen Kim controlling Bones but never expected him to call the bones from the ground.
And, it seemed like these bones were created out of the ashes of those dead bodies.
[Call of Undead]
His Battle Soul suddenly burst out of his body. The shadow of his Battle Soul appeared behind him and a strange cry released from his mouth.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Slowly, the ground beneath them started to shake. At this moment, the sun was already going down.
The three girls felt creepy for a moment. They nervously stared at the ground and suddenly, a hand with no skin or muscles crawled out.
It freaked them out for a moment.
The next moment, dozens of arms appeared on the surface.
"Ahhhh!"
Three girls screamed at the same. Even Neyol couldn't calm down. It wasn't something that has ever happened in this world.
The undead slowly coming out of the ground was a sight to behold. It was gloomy and disgusting. The skeletons coming out of the ground were covered in dirt.
Their bodies were rather strange.
It was nothing but a skeleton but they were standing as if they were alive. They walked toward Kim and slowly fell on one knee.
The girls were scared and shocked by the fifteen skeletons kneeling in front of Kim.
Even Tengu wasn't calm. He couldn't believe that the first disciple he ever took could control the skeleton.
And, it didn't seem like normal puppetry.
He didn't come forward though. He was afraid that girls will pass out. He was very curious about the Skeletons.
Kim nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw them. He had already got the proper introduction of these skeletons in his mind.
They were basically created out of bones like any normal skeleton. And, they also have souls.
And just like the human soul, their soul is also a container. But, unlike humans, they think with their souls.
And, this soul derives information from Kim. Basically, Kim can transmit what he wanted them to do with his mind and also how to do it.
But, Kim was very excited to test it. He thought for a moment and created mental images of things that he needed to do.
Then, he transfers these images to their minds. At the same time, he also transferred some commands to them.
Right now, they are basically empty open-source software. He could easily insert any kind of command and make them do it.
Although Kim could still ask them with his mind, he decided to talk rather than think.
"Alright, all of you clean up this entire town."
Hearing his words, three girls looked at him in surprise.
"Are these skeletons really conscious?" Neyol couldn't help but ask when she saw those skeletons nodding their heads and walking away.
Kim nodded his head and said.
"I can transfer part of my intelligence to their brain. Although they also grow their intelligence by themselves as long as they don't die."
Hearing his words, Neyol was confused as she asked.
"Aren't they already dead?"
"They did die but when their soul enters Hell, I can summon it but their soul gets purified during the process. The soul that has been purified once can't be purified twice."
"So, once it dies, it will die. It's like getting one extra life but nothing more. Of course, it is far less advantageous than actually getting one more life." Kim shook his head and answered.
"So, what exactly is your plan?" Hinata came forward and asked.
Kim took a deep breath and sat down on the ground.
He looked at them and said.
"I plan to create my own power that can rival the other kingdoms. Before, I plan to acquire more resources and train these towns and slowly increase my people."
"But, now I have changed my mind."
"Because of them?" Neyol looked at him and interrupted.
Kim nodded his head.
"Not just because of them but also because of him. Although I said that everyone person has his own weakness, I overestimated myself. Just because others have weakness doesn't mean we can exploit them easily."
"That's why I changed my plan. Normally, there would be nearly fifty to a hundred million people in one kingdom. Human Kingdom itself has over One Hundred Million population."
"But, not all of them are martial artists. In fact, only twenty of them are actually proper martial artists. And, most of them come from major families and sects."
"So, I plan to create my own organization. Instead of hiring more people, I will look for powerful and interesting people with similar ideologies as mine."
"I don't have that many ideologies nor something noble. My martial path is fixed. But, my view towards the world might change or I might even walk on the dark side."
"That's why, from today, I will select three of you as my Strength, Wisdom, and Wealth. And, also I want you to promise me one thing."
When he said that, he looked into their eyes with a serious expression.
"Since I am going to be the leader, if I ever make an unwanted selfish choice because of relationships, stop me and punish me. I know, if the three of you combine together, you will have the strength to suppress me."
"This is the task only you three can do because you three will hold my Strength, Wisdom, and Wealth."
Saying so, Kim slowly stood up. He clenched his fist and his Battle Soul burst out. His eyes changed at the same time and became the Emperor's Eyes. He looked into their eyes and spoke.
"So, on this very day of March 10, I, Kim Woo, declare the opening of my own organization known as 'Eyes of Fate'. We will only recruit people whose fate is connected with us."
At this moment, Neyol rolled her eyes and said.
"So, you just want to recruit more harem members."
Kim opened his mouth but the words didn't come.
