Chapter 82
As they approached the barrack, Fendrel and Lavender, heard a commotion from the barrack. The soldiers were cheering, Fendrel's lips arched upwards. 'I guess, Franco, succeed in becoming a Tier 2.' He thought.
Shortly after they arrived, the soldiers saluted and make way for Fendrel and Lavender respectfully. In the distance, he saw Franco was now covered in a red aura. Seeing Franco, Fendrel nodded in satisfaction. They waited for some time before the aura dissipated, and disappeared back to Franco's body.
Franco looked around until his gaze landed on Fendrel. He walked closer to Fendrel, then kneel on his knee.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Because of your guidance and the fruit Your Majesty, give me. I managed to advance to Tier 2." Franco said, full of gratitude.
Fendrel put his arm on Franco's shoulder and prompted him to stand up. "It's your ability and dedication to become stronger, that makes you become a Tier 2 today. I merely helped you a little." He smiles at him, then continues walking to the middle of the crowd.
Hearing Fendrel's words, Franco's loyalty was now on full meter, where he would do anything what Fendrel said.
Seeing Fendrel walked in the middle, all the soldiers quieted down.
"Ahem... I have an announcement, for you all, my soldiers... From now on, the first ten soldiers, that become Tier 2, will become the new captains." He said.
Hearing it, all the soldier's fighting spirit ignited. The four other captains didn't felt any displeasure upon hearing Fendrel's announcement. Contrary, they promised themselves to not waste any time and would hunt day and night, from now on. Especially Black, who was a few days late on hunting. Since he needs to recuperate his wounds.
After all that, the soldiers began to disperse. Some were teaming up to five people, while the Tier 1 soldiers were hunting alone. Since Fendrel, already told them that if they hunt alone. They will become stronger much faster, because, the strength of beasts they slay, would go to their body alone, and would not share with those with them. Upon hearing the revelation of His Majesty, all the soldiers were awed by the power of Fendrel.
Fendrel just comes up with that idea on a whim. Well, it does sound similar to a system. So, he just told that lie to his captains, and relay it to the soldiers.

"Hmmm... This should be the end of the map" Zadrum folded the map, then looked around him.
Right now, he was on top of a giant scorpion skeleton with a chair on top of it, where he was seated. With a hundred normal beast skeleton, on the back, mindlessly waiting for him. The giant Scorpion was a Tier 1, in terms of firepower. It was a product of his 'Bone Creation' skill, he can create anything he wants and give it a life, however, her creation needs to be one Tier lower than him. Furthermore, for the current him, he can only create two.
In his journey, Zadrum was killing all the living beings he sees. And because of that, he levels up to 30 levels. Along the way, he encountered two Tier 2 beasts, and five Tier 1 beasts. All of those beasts become his legion. Zadrum used a necromancy skill, on those beasts. So, they retain their skills and Tier.
If anyone would see him right now, they would shit on their pants right away. The skeletons on his back were radiating a death aura, that began corroding the surrounding area. The small mushrooms and plants began to wither. If they stay for a week in this area, then the whole place would then become devoid of life, where only skeletons and undead can survive.
"My legion should be enough for now, His Majesty said that I don't need to attract some unwanted attention, and act low profile first. However, that would be boring and not my style... Hmmm..." While he was thinking, ten normal beast skeletons on his back suddenly pounce on something. It was a normal horned rabbit, that dared to come closer, and was now dead in just a second. Shortly after it died, its skin and meat began to disintegrate until only bones left. In the next moment, it began to stand up, as though it came back to life and then proceeded to go in the crowd of the skeletons. It becomes one of Zadrum's Legion just like that, any two Tier below Zadrum's Tier would automatically become his skeleton army, because of his title's effect.
"Ohh, that's right!! I just need to conquer the town and give it to His Majesty. I'm sure His Majesty's anger would surely lessen, hehehe" Zadrum laugh, in his hoarse voice. Adding with his teeth colliding as he laughs, creates terror striking sounds, that can make any soul who heard it leave their body.
After all that he continues to walk, however, he didn't leave the forest right away. But, find a place to settle in, not far from this area.
