Chapter 36: Obsessed Beru
Igris, Bellion and Beru brought the five Paragon to Anthony.
Anthony looked at them, not knowing what to even say to these people
"My liege, how about we use them as spies, they can feed us useful information about their plans and everything" said Beru
"That is true master" Igris concurred with Beru
"But that would be dangerous, if we need any information about anything I could simply spy for master if master orders it" said Unknown
"Who are you again?" asked Beru cautiously as he looked at Unknown and George who were on same mana rank as him.
He didn't want anybody to take away his position as a his liege right hand man, he already had Bellion on his plate.
He already bragged about being the only one their liege sent on a mission
There was no way he would give away his position.
"I am called unknown and this is George" said Unknown, beru looked at them but didn't reply, he looked at his liege waiting for his command on what to do with these people
Anthony said "There is no need for them, I have my way of obtaining information if I want to, so they have no use at all"
"How about we torture them for information they already have before killing them off" suggested Bellion
Anthony nodded as he already planned on collecting information from them but he didn't need to torture any of them.
He gazed at one of the Paragon, then he activated 'All seeing eyes' and gazed into the past of that Paragon and saw everything he had done, even the food the man ate, he saw it all, the mission he completed, the people he kidnapped to turn them to their minions, their various locations and they runes they used to hide their location.
They weren't too high up in rank so he didn't get any concrete information, but this was enough for now, as he found a location holding people even above the Paragon rank.
After getting the information he needed, he simply burned them to death, then collected their space rings from them and drolled about how rich he was now, as these were rings from paragon and Grandmaster.
After collecting all mana crystals from rings he kept them into his inventory and looked at his shadow soldiers and smiled and said
"Good work everyone, if there is anything anyone needs they should say and I can fulfil need or want" although Anthony didn't need to do this, he just wanted to do it as they all had consciousness.
"Master we are eternally loyal to you, we have transcended death and immortality, this is already the greatest gift" everyone declined as they said they had no wish
They were practically correct as they can't die if Anthony had mana to keep them with him
"My liege, I want a skill from you my liege" of course Beru won't pass on this chance he just got.
"What do you want Ant king" Anthony said
"My liege I want the shape shifting skill, I want to transform into a human form and stay by your side" Beru replied
Anthony sighed, this guy was always obsessed with standing at his right hand side but he can't go back on his word can he.
He raised his hand and a skill book materialized from thin air and he tossed it to Beru who smiled like a baby with a new toy.
Beru immediately learnt the skill, the book then disintegrated, the skill cost no mana to use, even if it did with his soldiers tapping into his infinite mana the skill can be used 24/7
Beru then shape shifted into a tall man who stood at the 6'8 height with black hair that reached his waist with golden eyes, with chiseled face and a perfect jawline and skin
When Anthony saw this he was speechless, Beru was simply too handsom, even his recent ten subordinate couldn't compare to such face Beru had.
Beru wore a long black coat, with a black shirt inside, and black trousers with black boot on his feet, with gloves covering his hands and fingers, his entire body was covered in black clothing like he was representing death itself
Only his face and neck could be seen as the cloth covered any other thing
"What do you think my liege, I tried to make myself as handsome as you but it seems I couldn't, like someone was interfering" Beru said while looking at Anthony
'How can you be as handsome as me, this face was carved personally by that being how can a mere skill dare to match it' Anthony thought but didn't say it out loud
"You look perfect if I say so, your hair matching your cloth" Anthony said
Beru was happy with this as he could now stand with his liege openly and didn't need to hide anymore
Anthony saw something on the right side of Beru' jacket, he looked closer and what he saw made him speechless
Beru had carved his face on the jacket he wore, Anthony didn't know what to say to this Ant king, he was truly too stunned to speak
'Should I take him to therapy' Anthony thought, but got rid of such useless thoughts
"Beru why did you print my face to your coat"
Beru froze and said with pride "My liege this is to remember you, I will always be here to protect you, and everyone will know I am your right hand soldier"
"Remove it or I won't allow you to transform into the human form again" Anthony replied
Beru cried and begged Anthony but Anthony paid him no ears and with a broken heart, Beru removed Anthony's face from the coat
Anthony suddenly remembered the sword Igris usually used that was gifted to him, then he opened the system shop and bought a sword for Igris
[Name: Rakasha Sword
A sword crafted by the Primordial Blacksmith God using his life force as it's main material, then he threw it into the river of time to find the one who is destined to have it.
Effects:
1: Grows with it's owner
2: Can returned to its owner when willed even if it's in another reality or sealed
3: The sword possess its own technique of all basic elements which the wielder would be able to use as the sword grows
4: Can change size and design as willed by the owner
5: Indestructible]
He had already spent most of this month point on pumping his subordinate, he used the remaining to buy the sword for Igris.
Anthony waved his hand and the sword appear on Igris's hand, the sword started vibrating with intense intensity upon contact with Igris as it recognised Igris as it's master with glee
Igris who could tell the value of the sword just from contact was too happy and showed happiness on his face, which reverted back to his normal face as if it wasn't there.
He bowed and thanked Anthony who just smiled and told him to use the sword to the utmost and take care of it.
"It's time to leave" Anthony said
"Go back into the shadow world, I will introduce you to everyone later as you can't just appear from nowhere" he said to Beru who just nodded and they disappeared.
Anthony looked at the destruction they had caused and shook his head.
He simply just waved his hand and time started moving backwards as everything moved backwards and into their place, taking the serene and beautiful forest it once hand.
He then opened his shop and was about to buy clothes but bought something different this time around with his last point
[Universal clothing
Effect:
1: Can shape shift into other clothes and design the wearer wishes
2: Indestructible
3: Forever clean
4: Soul bound]
The cloth was simply just taking shape and design of other clothing.
It doesn't act as amour for Anthony because of it's indestructible effect.
When Anthony is attack, he will suffer damages alone but the damages won't bother the cloth, the cloth won't shield him from anything, it's just a normal cloth but can't be torn apart
Anthony casted a spell and cleaned the sweat and every dirt from his body, then he changed the universal cloth to the design of the one he wore before the fight.
He then teleported out of the forest and appeared in a corner in the shopping district.
He brought out a car he bought earlier from his inventory and drove home.
Although he could teleport home, he just wanted to clear his head as he drove.
