Chapter 4
Creating more soldiers and 5 Generals, A secret attack, the unveiling power of Lord Ace
After his "Victory" over the Dungeon boss, Ace conquered almost half of the dungeon bosses and was eventually given the title by the system, "Dungeon lord," This title made him able to appoint the Dungeons with their own "Bosses" but he was the true obstacle, and was given the skill, dungeon merger, he could merge 2 dungeons at a time.
Now Ace was with Bataza in his Library, then his eyes were drawn to a jade jewel and decided to inspect the jewel.
Ace decided ask Bataza for more information, "Bataza, what's this?" Bataza replied "It's one of your father's Summoning stone, he has a lot of them, but this one is the only one that can summon people from the underworld and even from Heaven above to here,"
Ace felt so intrigued by this information that he ate it, instantly he was greeted by a notification:
******
Outside the castle walls in the bridge that separated the castle from the main islands, Ace was with Bataza as he tried, to summon, he concentrated one point which was the middle of the bridge, instantly they was a small tsunami, Ace's eyes turned red, this was the first time he concentrated on something like this, but it was going to be simple, as he thought of a portal, instantly a portal appeared, it was red in color, then as he thought of a new skeleton army, a large number of skeleton's appeared, they numbered to a few hundreds, then it was now a thousand and when it reached, 2 thousand, he stopped producing them, then he thought of generals to lead his army, a then a notification appeared in his retina:
Ace didn't know until now why anyone would follow him until now, he thought carefully of the words, then instantly the words, came to him like a stream flowing freely.
"I don't have any reason for you to join my army and be my generals I don't even know if you will live or not, but it doesn't matter, I would try, with my power to ensure that you all won't lose a single limb, if you can just join my untitled cause, I would make it worth your time."
As he shouted this, he instantly felt embarrassed about it instantly, but kept a strength face, and prayed to any god whether if they were anyone that would answer his call.
It didn't take long until, a person appeared then, another this time a female, appeared, then again 2 more appeared, were both boys, they looked at Ace with silence.
Then the male broke the silence, "You promise to make it worth our while hope you do," He smiled and walked to the castle him and the other 3 all went to the castle.
Ace asked, with outmost seriousness, "What are your names?" The man smiled and answered, "Hmm, you can't know my name unless, you fight me to prove that you are worthy to be my leader,"
Ace smiled, and said, "Would love to," He had to show this 4 people that he was worthy, even if it meant, fighting them himself, Bataza shouted, "But Master—"
Ace stopped him and said, "Bataza stop it, I will show my new generals that I am worthy don't worry about me,"
Bataza stopped his fingering into the Prince's matters.
******
In the castle court-yard, The, man stood at a platform created by the stone Gollum's.
Ace stood at one end while his opponent who was holding a sword was standing at the other end of the platform.
The man smiled and said, "I Hope dear prince you give this old man a good fight."
Ace replied, while standing still, "Same to you," Ace instantly bringing out his aura, he wanted to use his aura corruption, but he was visited by a message:
This was the first time this had happened, but Ace was not afraid, and stood still and waited for the man's response, then he heard the man's response, "mf, you tried, a simple trick like aura corruption firstly good call on trying to defeat with that or should I say scare me but that trick is too old and I need more than that for me to call you my leader."
Ace smiled, and replied, to the man's response, "Good call on repealing my aura, and thanks for telling me, now I won't use my aura, to fight you anymore, but I can still defeat you in just 4 decisive moves, just try to dodge one, then you can be the leader." then Ace placed a fighting stance.
The man thought he was bluffing, and went swiftly for the attack, but Ace disappeared and appeared at his back, and just whispered, "one," and hit him in the back, sending the man flying backwards, but the man quickly cut up with Ace's movements, and maintained his balance and came in for another attack, but Ace didn't move but held the man's sword, that was way larger than him, in comparing the two, in term of size, he twisted the sword, but the man anticipated this and rotated his body 200 degrees in the opposite direction, but his thinking was way of too just 3 milliseconds, as Ace slide his left leg keeping the man on the air, then he said quietly, "2 and 3" Instantly he was hit by a punch in his abdomen which pinned him to the ground then a kick to his right side sending him to the other side of the ring.
The man felt dizzy, but he had seen more than this, but was astonished by Ace's strength, he thought, "I wasn't a superhuman, then I might have died from just his first blow earlier, better try to find how to attack him maybe--" But before he could conclude his thoughts, Ace said, "Ok I will give you one chance to attack me, I won't attack, and I won't move but I can surprise you," The man replied, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to attack you, I promise it won't go to waste,"
Ace answered, "Ok, hope so,"
The man instantly started running, fast turning into sparks of light, and came for the attack he had to calculate perfectly or his opportunity would be wasted, he finally attacked, but Ace didn't move, but the sword, pierced straight at his neck and cut of his head, blood filled everywhere and Ace fell to the ground lifeless.
The man thought that he had won, but before he could think about his victory he heard clapping and when he looked at the sky, Ace was there with a smile on his face, his eyes closed and clapping, "You actually defeated my clone, cool, now are you ready to defeat me."
The man was surprised and asked Ace a question, "How powerful was that your clone then?" Ace replied, "The clone only possessed 25% of my power wanted to increase the difficulty but couldn't because that would just be over kill."
The man grins instantly turned moody, then he thought, 'wait, you are telling me that I was only fighting only quarter of this guy's power? How power is this guy?' After a few minutes the man answered, "To think I was arrogant enough to challenge you… please forgive me, my lord, me and my other followers would follow you and become your generals." Ace smirked and his aura flew everywhere, to show them that his dominance was now unquestionable, "Now what are your names?" He asked.
The man replied, "My name is Gawain, from now on my blade is yours, as long as your strength stay through I would follow you,"
Ace, didn't flitch and asked for the man's companions names.
The woman bowed and said, "My name is Valentina, other two companions are Garen and Gorath we are willing to serve you King."
Ace replied, "Names Ace, don't call me King, not yet any way I still have a long way to go before you can call me that but you can call me sovereign instead,"
Valentina, bowed down unconditionally. She and the two.
******
At the throne room, Ace sat as in his throne and looked at his new Generals and said, "Gawain come forward," Gawain came forward, he was a built man of stupendous height, he bowed in-front of the throne waiting for his leader's orders.
"Gawain, I put you in charge of 1000 Skeletons you are to train them in close combat, and short-range weapons,"
Gawain replied, "Would do my best not to disappoint Sovereign."
"Valentina come forward,"
She came did exactly as what, Gawain has done, "Yes Sovereign."
Ace replied, "What are you best at?"
Valentina replied, "In my country I was a mechanic, I specialized in the creation of weapons and modification of weapons as well I can also create, spaceship."
Ace asked, "So you don't have any qualities?"
Valentina replied, "Yes I did, I was also an assassin to the royal family,"
Ace asked, "Then, how powerful are you? If you were to fight me personally?"
Valentina replied, while bowing down, "Won't even last a minute against you my dear king,"
Ace asked again, "But what if I don't have any abilities then you would you be able to defeat me then?"
Valentina replied, "Even then no, I can sense that you are way powerful than me even from your appearance."
Ace walked to her and touched her head, Instantly, she began to feel much stronger, then in-front of everyone, she transformed,
Valentina asked, "Sovereign I feel much stronger now, what did do to me?"
Ace replied, "Apparently I turned you into Dark elf Assassin, so your race elves, right?"
Valentina replied, "Yes, but my father was a human and my mother was elf," Valentina couldn't put words together, to show how she was telling this stranger who she didn't know her life story maybe it was because of fear or paranoia, she couldn't place her feelings.
Ace called the remaining two, and aside them, the duty of becoming leading archers, because according to their backstory, they were once archers and were prominent with long range weapons.
After assigning the duties to his Generals a notification appeared in his Retina:
Ace decided to check the hierarchy tab.
Ace> Bataza> Gawain> Valentina > Gorath>Lathan> Skeleton army
Ace decided to leave it as it is, so has not to confuse himself.
As he walking through the halls of his palace, it felt a little lonely, but nowadays he didn't mind the loneliness and even loved it a bit.
******
In another part of the planet, in a desert area, a spaceship flew down, out of the spaceship 100 aliens appeared, they were humanoid, reptilians and they were pirates.
"Boss, we arrived at the junk planet, I heard this is where the famous doctor Owen's castle in located."
A taller reptilian with an eyepatch and pirate hat like a typical pirate smiled, "Where are the coordinates?"
The reptile replied, "The it's due 40degs to the east."
The taller reptile replied, "Alright, then let's be going I want to loot that castle,"
****
At, the castle Ace was in library reading a book of Necromancy, and after reading it he ate the book.
Instantly a notification appeared:
Ace thought of a command and figured out the name of the command, "Arise." The system dinged:
Ace smiled and said, "Finally time to show my true strength."
After saying that, Bataza, came and said, "Master, some bandits have arrived at the planet, your generals have been situated at the entrance of the castle ready to receive your orders should they attack?" Ace replied standing up from the chair, "Tell them, that I would resolve it myself." Instantly he started teleporting away but before fully teleporting away, he told Bataza, "Bataza, this is to also prove to my generals my strength in case they want to betray me later." Then he fully teleported away.
******
At the entrance, the pirates finally came to the entrance of the Great Owen's castle they were about to rampage the castle, but then a guy appeared he was dressed in royal robes, he looked ab0ut in his late 20's, he had white hair, his skin was kinder pale in complexion and he had reptilian eyes.
"I want to ask you, why are you secretly attacking my castle?"
The bandits smiled. Ace glared at them and asked again, "Why are you attacking my castle, I won't ask again?"
The bandit leader replied, "Hmph, You most be the owner of this place isn't that right?"
