Chapter 35: Minato's family is having a lot of fun
Snake Concubine left a rune in Minato's Overlord Pillar.
That rune allowed him to bring out an army.
It was an army made out of her shredded skin. Of course, it was one of the highest quality materials that even the Overlord Kai's descendants would risk their lives for.
Alas, it was in its initial and weakest state.
The army didn't possess any consciousness, let alone any techniques.
They were like empty shells waiting for Minato to learn them.
One of the army's basic skills was the cockpit, however.
That ability woke up a few days after Minato's exploration.
It allowed him to equip his soldier's armor... Since that race was armor themselves, it was like Minato had entered a robot.
That was when Minato realized he could imbue moves to his soldiers.
He just needed to fight with them on!
His current army consisted of five soldiers, and all of them possessed simple moves Minato did during his training routines.
It was hard to find a strong opponent for them, however.
No one really could force Minato to wear them yet.
Still, it was not a problem!
Minato let his beloved take care of each soldier.
Before the tree monster, a fox, wolf, and spirit stood while boarding their soldiers.
Aya was the biggest since the ladies maintained their animal forms. She popped from the soldier's head and wore its helmet.
Her eyes twinkled, "I will beat this monster for Husbando Overlord! As a spirit, I can already see through its all moves! That's why! Follow me!"
In her mellifluous and sweet voice, Yuna chuckled from the side, "We will follow Commander Aya."
"Heh!" Aya took out her sunglasses, yanked the pair, then put on her little nose.
Her soldier rushed forth then!
She was pretty hyped already, but Yuna's simple words invaded her heart, bringing more excitement alongside her support. That cute spirit aimed to deal with the monster before Minato's return and fill his soldier with more experience than ever before.
Yuna's soldier kept up with Aya's pace.
Since it was Yuna operating it, the armor was faster than everyone else. It found no problems by moving and following the spirit commander.
Behind them, Bei didn't move an inch.
She kept her eyes on the tree monster, "What fire magic circle is actually the weakest? Fuck..."
Bei knew that she wouldn't be able to conjure magic circles of the highest quality through the soldier.
Bei's soldier's arm shattered on her first try due to the mana overcharge.
Minato and Yuna glared at her, and their eyes were still deeply etched within Bei's heart. It was a scar she often forgot about, but it reminded itself each time she took a seat in the soldier's armor.
Bei cursed, then summoned a flame arrow, "This shit should be weak!"
It was weak indeed!
The soldier's hand didn't overheat, and a scarlet arrow coalesced from Bei's mana above its palm!
That arrow silently flickered, then Bei threw it against the monster.
It tore through the air, drew a beautiful crimson trail, then hit the monster...
GUOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"Goddamnit fuck..." Bei stared at the monster howling in anguish.
Her mana was of the highest quality despite the magic circle coming from the low world... Once the arrow hit the monster's head, it splashed thousand flame tendrils that assailed more of its body.
To say nothing of those tendrils, the splash itself hurt worse than the devil's breath!
Aya's sunglasses slid down her little nose, "This vulgar waifu! She did a good job, but I won't lose!"
Her soldier saw countless roots going her way!
Aya pushed her sunglasses back, then her lips curled up into a sneer, "Avoid them all!"
Using her senses and good eyesight, Aya avoided all roots that assaulted her like hungry snakes.
She let out her tongue at them, then popped from the cockpit.
With her feet stomping on the soldier's shoulder, Aya shouted, "Husbando Overlord's Punch!"
Her soldier followed the wish, and a strong punch hit the tree monster's trunk! It was a strong punch that essentially kicked away some of the tree's hatred.
A punch that left the spirit satisfied as well, "Nice!"
But as if to pull a prank on her, Yuna's soldier passed next to Aya! Its speed was so fast that Aya's clothes fluttered, and she nearly lost her balance!
Once Aya's eyes retracted, she dilated her pupils and stared at the holes appearing one by one in the monster's trunk.
Its speed was so fast that it looked like Yuna's punch had left a virus on it!
Alas, a virus, it was not!
Her speed just broke common sense, leaving Aya staring at the monster.
A spirit then pouted, "Those sisters are bullying me! I won't lose! I won't lose!" She pushed her sunglasses and patted her soldier, "We are killing this bitch!"
A rare curse bypassed the spirit's lips.
From afar, many dungeon raiders gawked at the spectacle with expanded eyes and shock rippling within those hues.
What they saw defied any common sense.
It began with the monster, then soldiers controlled by two animals and one little girl.
Since no one knew about their identities, Minato's family fun was misunderstood by them.
However, it was more than just having fun. It helped his soldiers grow accustomed to the magic circles, high speed, and perception.
Of course, it would take some time to use those skills without the hosts. Still, that was a valuable experience.
Minato also saw them from afar, "Get rid of his mouth... Haha."
No way he would overlook his beloved's skills as the monster's anguish elicited earthquakes. It was a monster that emerged from the ground, after all.
Minato was in a good mood since enjoying the adventure alone would be a sin to him. He was glad his family found something to work on and that they genuinely liked it.
His eyes then narrowed, "Well balanced party."
He laid his attention on a dungeon raider's party. Upon a closer look, he found out that their balance was perfect.
In the dungeon expedition, one would take either task, damage, or protect.
Of course, the latter was not just protecting their asses, but also all stuff. People like the nice man Minato had talked to before the dungeon fell into this category.
They carried a lot of stuff on their bodies and protected it diligently. Their task was to keep a map and keep eyes on their surroundings.
Damage dealers were swordsmen, magic circle users, and others whose purpose was to deal damage.
They had a few potions and consumables on their bodies, but armor and weapons were naturally their priority.
Minato smiled and assaulted them!
He would soon get his 'humanly' life force back!
