Chapter 19: Overlord's Enemies
Minato usually would glare at his enemies and feel fed-up emotions surging from his chest. He no longer wanted to think about the reason as even a mere thought of it stirred him and conjured a genuine ire.
That was different within the gate as an army of mighty giants headed in their way.
Those giants were by no means just an appearance.
They gave off a powerful aura that intimidated even the baron himself.
Rudy wanted to retreat from just peeking at the towering monsters.
That brought a broad smile from Minato, and he giggled like a kid who had found his favorite toy, "I will keep you all here!"
He promptly rushed at Baron Rudy.
Although Minato's speed was clearly not his strong point, he didn't waste any second. He was already close to the baron!
Alas, Minato's punch collided with the steel shield.
It was one of Rudy's soldiers and his personal guard.
Minato smirked, "Not enough!"
To his enemy's disbelief, Minato added another punch and shattered the shield that had started cracking after the first strike.
The moment the soldier dropped onto its knees, Minato let out a kick and pushed him away. He spun around and kicked another soldier, clearing his path toward Baron Rudy.
Baron Rudy didn't expect such a smooth clean-up at all.
He gawked at Minato, "You must be from this gate! You monster! Even though you have that kind of army, you will never win against the Majestic Ice Kingdom! They will freeze you to death! Absolute Zero!"
"You are Absolute Zero," Minato chuckled.
He patted his clothes and said, "This place will be your graveyard! That's how all of you will die."
Husbando Overlord grabbed the knight by his armor, then threw him behind.
Since he had used a lot of his strength, Minato didn't turn around. He already imagined the soldier dying beneath the giant's foot.
Even though they would take some time to stomp, Minato had immobilized his enemies with his strong punches and kicks.
That was a plain but highly effective attack!
Minato changed how he spoke, "You all will follow your buddy."
He couldn't just giggle and be happy that his enemies would suffer much more cruel deaths. His appearance and how he conducted himself increased his strength after all.
He stood with a faint smile, but his eyes remained quite evil!
That was because Minato just threw a person who was semi-innocent at best. At worst, that guy could've done bad things using his authority, but the soldier was a soldier.
Every soldier should be prepared for death on the battlefield, to say nothing of dying for their master.
Baron Rudy wanted women, and he used his people for it!
He was the one responsible for their deaths, even though it was Minato who had thrown them to their graves.
Minato excused his actions, but deep inside, he couldn't care less.
That was a twisted world, and even soldiers could become a problem in the future. Be it rumors about a crazy husband and his women or just pure slander, Minato would rather avoid them all!
Baron Rudy trembled and took out his sword.
It was a beautiful sword that happened to land in the wrong hand, "And that's all about you, Baron. It's funny that a mere baron tried to put hands on my women."
No words bypassed Baron Rudy's lips as he let his weapon speak for him! Alas, he didn't even leave a scratch on Minato's body, and he failed worse than his soldiers.
Baron Rudy endured just one punch, and that punch had gone through his sword first! It was one of the easiest kills that had surprised even Minato himself.
But as he looked behind the baron's dead body, Minato saw an army shivering before his might.
That was a powerful power boost!
Minato smirked, "Don't just die. Become a valuable experience for me before I compensate myself with your equipment."
The soldiers glanced into each other's eyes and threw themselves at the husband.
They couldn't leave due to an unknown pressure keeping them in check, so they might as well just fight to the bitter end!
They threw themselves at Minato, and he used this chance to practice his defensive magic circles.
'I need to learn how to use them fast,' Minato whispered inwardly.
It was training similar to the battle against the big elephant!
This time, Minato had a lot of ants, but they had become a valuable experience in the end!
After cleaning up, Minato prepared to hoard all the equipment. He didn't forget to turn around and thank his family for their assistance.
Both Yuna and Bei helped him with the army by keeping them in check.
However, as Minato had turned around, he spotted that Bei and Yuna were worriedly looking at the army.
Yuna felt her husband's gaze, so she faced him, "Minmin... The gate has closed, and we are without any escape route... That alone is not scary, but I think our abilities have been sealed..."
Minato's eyes widened, "How is that... possible?"
That was just a low world.
How could something from this world seal the strength of both princesses of the higher world? That kind of thought hadn't even crossed his mind, and Minato rarely worried about his family's safety.
If Minato had such thoughts, then Yuna and Bei were the same, if not worse.
They didn't expect such a thing to happen, particularly at such an early stage of their adventure!
Yuna said, "Aya has been too silent. We've tried to speak with her, but she doesn't respond. Try talking to her, Minmin."
"Yes," Minato nodded.
His wife was deadly serious, so he didn't dare to lag.
Minato approached Aya, and he squatted, "Aya? Are you here?"
His spirit had been staring at the giants for a long time.
She didn't move due to the sudden influx of information.
It wasn't normal information she would see on Yuna or Bei, but more like information related to her master.
Aya whispered, "Overlord's Enemies..."
"Overlord's Enemies?" Minato repeated softly.
This time, Aya woke up from her immersion, and she turned her big eyes at him, "Husbando Overlord... This is bad! Super bad! One of Overlord's Enemies had come here through a dimensional rift! They are here to kill you and become conscious living beings again!"
"I feel like there's more to it... However, I guess I have to clean up another mess," Minato patted her hair and stood up.
He deeply inhaled, then let it all out, "No one will die here."
The husband would protect his family!
