Chapter 5: Level 2 Unlocked
Elio ordered the cleaning of King Kard’s golden armor, wore it, replaced most of the Crescent army with his save for the 4 generals who would help him enter Crescent City without bloodshed, then left Stardret City.
Clearly, King Kard hadn’t planned for any battle because he only came with just a hundred men, well trained and formidable warriors of course, but still a few in numbers... the very reason it was easy for Elio’s men to capture them right after King Kard entered Elio’s chambers.
Now they were prisoners of a war that never happened, held as a leverage should the Crescent Dwellers decide to rebel against Elio’s occupation.
Elio had left Stardret Kingdom in the hands of General Kosanh, with Laura close by to watch his every move.
To be honest, putting her in charge was a bit of an excuse to be alone throughout the journey because he wanted to experiment more about the system.
This was why he had taken a bath alone in the first place... though nothing he tried while in the bathroom gave him any clue about the system.
The results were the same even here in the carriage that he decided to give up and order his men to bring him food; he had been focused on figuring out more information about the system that he had ignored hunger.
Did he imagine the system or something? He might have hallucinated about getting it because he knew anyone who transmigrates gets one.
’There’s no way I imagined that,’ he thought as he bit a huge chunk off a drumstick and threw it on the table. ’Are these even chickens? They’re so delicious and spicy-like.’
"Pour me more uruagua!"
The maids who were holding the table to keep it steady because the carriage was moving at full speed looked relieved that he was done eating.
