Chapter 53: Scared

213 bronze, 174 silver, and 6 gold!!

Seeing the large number of gene points and shards, a big smile appeared on Neil’s lips.

’This is just perfect, now I just need those people to grind so I can quickly purchase the entire army.’

He could purchase a total of 100 troops. Among them, at most 25 could be giants.

The remaining 75 positions could be divided among the other two.

’But what if later on I get new and better troops? Should I save some space?’ he wondered.

But for now, he quickly made his purchase.

[You have purchased an Elven Archer!]

[You have purchased an Elven Archer!]

[You have purchased a Giant!]

[You have purchased a Giant!]

[You have purchased a Cloud Vulture!]

[Shards: 590]

After that, he gave some gene potions to Magnar and consumed the rest himself.

『

(Bronze): 800/1000

(Silver): 210/500

(Gold): 10/100

』

“Alright, time to rest for today.” After the deal was made, he walked back towards his house.

This place was going to be so fun.

As he arrived in his bedroom, Neil changed into his sleepwear.

’Right, I still need to kill to upgrade my magma armor, and for that bow, I need to participate in clash battles.’ Neil thought and decided to do that later.

He really needed a good rest.

Other people were working hard to earn shards and gene points for him.

KNOCK KNOCK

Just a few minutes later, Neil, who was about to fall into a deep slumber, was woken up by faint knocks.

“Who is it?” Blinking his sleep away, he sat up.

“My lord, it’s me.” Ileana spoke in a low, fearful voice as she gently pushed open the door.

She was hugging a pillow, still wearing the warm clothes.

“What’s wrong? It’s getting late, shouldn’t you be sleeping?” he asked.

“I- I am afraid to sleep alone, so…”

“Should I ask Fay to sleep in the healing hut?” Neil asked, thinking maybe it was because of what she told him earlier.

“No no, you shouldn’t trouble others. If you don’t mind, can I just sleep here? I- I can just sleep on the floor!” After speaking, she quickly closed the door behind her, taking a couple of steps inside.

“Uh…” Neil was speechless. He couldn’t let her sleep on the ground. This place was still too cold after all.

And the only other female here was Fay, so shouldn’t Ileana be asking her?

“Please, lord, I am afraid of sleeping alone, and Fay, she is just a kid. She is even more timid.” Ileana said quickly.

Neil rolled his eyes. Fay was older than him, if she was a kid then what was he? A newborn?

He tried his best to ignore any other meaning she might have had in this.

“Sigh. Fine, you can sleep here… for today. But the floor is too cold, so-” before he could even finish speaking, Ileana interrupted.

“Hehe, thank you lord, don’t worry, I won’t disturb you.” Throwing her pillow on the bed, she quickly climbed up.

Then she loosened the warm coat as it slid down her body. She wore tight nightwear.

Her voluptuous and curvaceous body instantly took Neil’s breath away. Her creamy cleavage and long, hot legs were clearly visible.

Then she lay down. There was some space between the two.

“Oh no, I forgot to bring my blanket. Uhm L- Lord, if you don’t mind, can we share…” she asked, blinking her eyes pitifully.

’Haa, she isn’t as innocent as I thought.’ Neil shook his head. He was tempted as he looked at her ripe, mature body, but a part of him still didn’t want to get close to any woman for now.

“Here, I have another.” He said, taking one out from his storage.

“Ah okay…” she took the blanket with a sad sigh.

“Good night lord, I have a habit of moving around in my sleep, please don’t mind that.” Ileana said as she turned to lie on her side, staring at his face.

Neil closed his eyes. For now, he just needed to focus on getting stronger.

***

The next morning, Neil was woken up by loud voices from outside.

It seemed many people who had no food had gone out to hunt beasts at night. There was an even bigger crowd outside the domain.

Opening his eyes, Neil felt his left hand being pressed against something very soft and warm.

He looked beside him and saw the gorgeous lady sleeping peacefully. She was inside his blanket.

Her breasts pressed against his arm, while her hands rested on his chest.

Her long bare legs were entangled with his.

The air was full of her sweet fragrance.

’Sigh, this woman, she is so defenceless and beautiful…’ he thought.

Neil sat up, freeing himself. He got up and decided to first go out to check things.

This time, several hundred people were present, carrying even more corpses.

“Calm down everyone, let’s start the trade.” He said loudly, then walked back as the others started the trade.

He also needed to give more shards to Ray since the previous ones were almost used up.

And for that, he first needed to take the loot.

“How many corpses do we have this time?” He questioned once all the corpses were gathered together.

“My lord, there are 366 bronze, 220 silver, and 15 gold.” Bob said in astonishment, and soon the number was only going to go up.

Neil quickly collected the loot and the number of shards increased once again.

[Shards: 38,070]

He handed 4000 shards to Ray for this time’s food purchase.

[Shards: 34,070]

As others began to carry out the orders, he consumed the gene points while handing some to Magnar.

『

(Bronze): 999/1000

(Silver): 410/500

(Gold): 20/100

』

’I need more gold ones.’ Neil thought. He couldn’t just rest in his domain, he should also hunt a bit.

“Hey Neil, is everything going fine? There is no trouble, right?” Hiroshima walked over, waving his hand.

“Yeah, for now, but I doubt that Arlo would leave me alone when I have taken his business.”

“It’s fine. Now that he has lost this privilege, even his own men will leave him.” The warden said.

They chatted for a while, then Hiroshima added, “Oh right, I forgot to inform you. Once every month, the hot and cold sides clash. There is a big swarm of beasts, be careful, things get really dangerous.”

“How much time is there?” Neil asked.

“Probably a week. Also, under any circumstance, try to stay away from that ocean.” The warden replied.

“Is it very dangerous?” Neil did feel an ominous feeling from it, but also as if something was calling to him.

“Yeah, I once saw a group of people get dragged into that ocean when they were over 5 kilometres away by a giant tentacle. Whatever is there is very dangerous.” The warden said with fear in his voice.

“Okay, I will be careful.”

After a bit more talk, Hiroshima left, though he had stationed a few men to guard the place.

“I guess it is time to enter the clash battles.” Neil walked back. After freshening up, he went to eat breakfast.

Ileana was already there. She was in a really good mood.

After eating, Neil returned to the core room, since he needed to be there to enter the clash battles.

“Nemo, let’s enter. Also inform me if anything happens outside.”

“Alright, master.” Nemo replied as several messages began to pop up before him.

[Scanning the Domain…]

[Scanning the Lord’s status…]

[Processing…]

[You are now entering the Clash realm!]
