"I am the Overlord," Minato declared.
His eyes lowered, and he gazed at all citizens from Bartlo's city. Each of them felt as if Minato precisely looked at them, their heads going down as they couldn't bear his attention for too long.
At last, Minato turned his eyes to Bartlo, "Keep everyone here. Provide them with free food. Remember. No one can leave the city yet."
"Yes, Lord Minato," Bartlo replied with royal courtesy.
He was already accustomed to the pain the scars exuded. His voice sounded normal, and his expression remained stoic. His wives were still crying and holding their faces with anguish, but he believed they would be able to get used to it as well.
Minato's words somewhat reached Bartlo.
He no longer thought of other women but about those he had in his family already. That led him to believe that a few of them would leave him due to what he'd done to them, but Bartlo thought that at least a scant would stay with him and live with those scars.
It was probably a naive thought, but Bartlo would confirm it later.
Minato didn't think much about Bartlo, "Your dungeon is mine from this day onward."
He spun around, then headed straight toward the dungeon under the eyes of many. His beautiful elf and cute Aya followed him.
They all disappeared in the dungeon.
A commotion broke then.
"Have you known anything about the Overlords? That sounds scary!"
"I haven't! But I heard about the dungeons' disappearance in the Majestic Ice Kingdom! That must've been the first place Lord Minato visited!"
"What will happen if there are no dungeons?"
"Probably... nothing?"
The dungeon raiders would turn into mercenaries that took care of the lands more than the dungeon. The easy source of treasures would be just gone, but few would think of the dungeons as easy income.
Still, nothing much would change should all those dungeons disappear.
Of course, the royalties wouldn't really accept that.
Their reaction to the Overlord's appearance would depend on how greedy their hearts were... and also on another, more mysterious factor.
-
Minato left the dungeon roughly three hours later.
He appeared on a vacant spot as he naturally took the dungeon to his world. Another race stood behind him.
It was an army that shocked the citizens and even Bartlo himself.
They were known as pebble golems. Those golems looked quite spectacular as their bodies were pebbles attached to each other, trying to look humanoid.
It was a funny concept, but that race stomped heavily on the ground and exuded a powerful aura as their little red eyes shone with menace!
Anyone who laughed at them would get their heads blown up by their pebble fists!
Minato smiled at every citizen, "You are free now."
The city's gates opened upon the Overlord's call.
No one moved, however. They gawked at the existence known as the Overlord, knowing it was their first and last time looking at him basking in the mighty aura.
Indeed, an army behind Minato boosted his presence. If he summoned all, what would those people think and feel?
They probably would've kowtowed already!
A few people outside the city had finally stepped in. They were fed up with the gates closed and wanted to complain.
Alas, the unknown pressure clenched their hearts, and they stared at the crowd with confusion. Their eyes soon located Minato and his army, then Bartlo courtesy replying to the Overlord.
All understood.
"Someone brave enough to go against the Empire appeared. He doesn't look like someone from other empires..."
"He is hiding his identity," Others inferred.
And while the word of Minato's presence and abilities slowly spread out, Minato decided to take a rest in Bartlo's mansion.
The former owner and his wives went to a little smaller house, and that was when Bartlo's life took a significant change.
"Return to my world and say hello to everyone," Minato chuckled at his new race that was known as Pebble Golems.
The patriarch of this race, Pebble Eldero, saluted and replied in a shrill voice, "Yes, Master!"
That race looked funny, but it was not the only amusing thing about them. Their voices and how they moved were also entertaining!
Of course, all who laughed at them died beneath their pebble fists!
Minato and his family were exceptions!
"Another race joins our family," Minato said out loud.
Aya saluted similarly to the pebble patriarch, "Good job, Husbando Overlord!"
"Thanks," Minato chuckled and patted her long hair.
Ingrid smiled as well, "Congratulations, Master. It was all your doing! Are we going straight to another dungeon after we rest?"
"Yep," Minato turned his eyes to Ingrid, then patted her blonde hair as well, "We will continue our dungeon circle with Bartlo in the lead. I will keep him with us so that people will know who they are dealing with."
"I understand, Master," Ingrid nodded.
Minato then burst out laughing, "I believe having you around myself would be enough, though. All admired how cute and sexy our elven queen is."
"Cute? But I wanted to give off an overly serious image," Ingrid tilted her head and thought out loud.
Aya snickered, "You are cute no matter what you do! And you are also an air-head! Hah!"
"What air-head?" Ingrid glanced at Aya with her big green eyes.
Aya once again snickered, "Minato likes you, so you will always be cute for him! Keep working hard, and I will give you a wife spot."
"Since when have you been in charge of that?" Minato rolled his eyes.
He enjoyed Ingrid's scarlet cheeks while poking Aya's cheeks with his finger.
His spirit crossed her arms and declared, "I will be the hottest woman once I get my memories back! Husbando Overlord will immediately make me his wife and I will take the number one spot!"
"You don't even know what you will look like, do you?" Ingrid poured some common sense, leaving Aya with bitten lips and angry eyes!
Minato once again burst out laughing, "Well. Let's drop that talk and have a casual dinner, okay? I also want to talk about possible enemies. I believe we will have Overlord Enemies soon enough. If not, then the empires just grew bold enough, and we will fight them with our people."
"Our people, that is?" Ingrid asked, dropping all cuteness and sounding serious.
She was still cute, so Minato casually replied, "I can only dual cultivate with elves. This gives them better standing in our world, but it also leaves other races more thirsty for achievements.
The best way to get achievements is.. battle," Minato sighed.
