Upon seeing all of his enemy came to him, Heracles said with a disappointed expression, "You decided to gang up on me, huh? Well, that's a bummer! I better finish this battle right to have a rest earlier!"
Before any of them could reach the young prince, Heracles shouted at the top of his lungs, "UNENDING RIPPERS!"
At that very moment, he began launching numerous blades attacks that killed his enemy one by one. As the young prince slaughter his men, the enemy platoon leader rushed to escape his might, thinking to himself, 'What kind of monster does our organization invited to our doorstep!? Is this related to that attack we just did a few days ago!? I better report this to the boss because I can't deal with this shit!'
As he was escaping, numerous blade slash reached his back, resulting in him to slow down in a considerable amount of time. Before he knew it, Heracles managed to pursue him before he could escape to safety.
"You are running away, huh? I guess it is only right for me to kill someone like you who had no loyalty or whatsoever to your comrades!" Heracles said with an icy demeanor.
Upon seeing him, the enemy platoon leader said to him as he kneeled, "I beg you to spare me, great one! I will reform myself from now on! Just please spare this life of mine so I could start anew!"
Despite hearing his plea, Heracles' perspective didn't change at all. A moment later, he shouted as he drew his sword, "Majestic Lacerate!"
A powerful sword aura enveloped his heavy silver sword as he drew it. At that very moment, he used the sword to instantly behead the enemy platoon leader. 'That was fast!' Heracles thought to himself as he looked around him.
He couldn't find anyone that escape his ferocious skills. After taking a deep breath, Heracles calmly said, "System, show me the progress of my sub-quest." At that very moment, the status board of his sub-quest suddenly appeared in front of him.

'Sir Leonard finished another base that fast!? How did he get that fast? Previously, I finished a base faster than he is! Well, it's a good thing! We would be able to finish this whole thing if he gets stronger like I do!' Heracles thought to himself at that very moment.
In less than an hour, darkness began to envelop the world as the sun leave the sky above. Instead of moving forward, the young prince decided to rest for the night before fighting another base by himself the next day.
After eating some that the enemy left to their base, the young prince found a safe spot where he could sleep safely. As he lay down to sleep, the young prince was unable to forget about the day's events.
'I killed more people today! Is this the right path for me to take!?' Heracles wondered to himself as he looked toward his two hands.
In the day before, he was too tired so he could sleep as soon as he find a sleeping spot. Now that it was too early for him to sleep, he was filled with thoughts of every vicious act that he has done in just a span of two days.
As the night becomes deeper, Leonard arrived at the base where the young prince was staying. He found his hiding spot easily because he can read the young prince like a book.
'It seems like everything begins to hit Prince Heracles. I spent a few days in that state when I first killed people! It was a long battle, so I had no choice but to kill and kill until there was no one left to oppose the domain. When I stopped thinking about survival, the mental burden of being a killer of many left a scar on me! I only hope this experience makes the young prince stronger because only god knows what his future holds!' Leonard thought to himself as he guarded the prince.
He finished his job very quickly, so that he would be able to guard his liege. Before they knew it, the morning came as the sun illuminates everything in its sight. Heracles slowly woke up as the rays of sunshine reached his eyes.
Heracles sighed very deep before going up from his sleeping spot. He searched for foods on the enemy base before moving forward to his day. As soon as he finished every preparation he could think of, he move forward to the last part of his sub-quest.
Leonard followed him silently as he could. He just thought to himself, 'The Overlord Family is the most complicated family in the domain. That's why the prince needs to become more mature than his peer! This must be the reason why the system has given him this quest! He would need to learn to be more vicious if something dreadful happens!'
When he was about to reach his last stop, the young prince only thought to himself, 'Let's just get this thing over with! After this, I would face their boss, who is a lot stronger than the platoon leaders that I just fought!'
Upon reaching the gates of the last base, Heracles shouted, "IMPRUDENT BASTARDS OF TRITON ORGANIZATION! COME AT ONCE OUTSIDE YOUR BASE! I WILL SHOW YOU THE HELL YOU WANTED WHEN YOU ATTACK MY MASTER!"
The same thing happened from the previous base. One by one, the enemies came outside the gate and attack the young prince. As he was watching things to unfold, Leonard could only think to himself, 'It seems like this experience made the meek young prince into this! As his loyal servant, I can only wish that it would help him develop rather than be enveloped by the curse wrapping around the current reigning Overlord!'
"WHO DARES BE ARROGANT IN FRONT OF THIS GREAT ONE'S BASE!?"
