The Legacy System

The words that they just heard seemed to be just like some Imperial Edict, or some kind of Divine Revelation, as their skin was covered in goosebumps.

But that wasn't all there was to it, as the next moment, Eric seemed to direct to the hostages on their hands, as he said in a clear voice,

"Don't you think that you have rested enough everybody? Is there any reason why you are still staying on the ground?"

There was one big reason why the Leader had left the hostages and run only to escape Eric, and that was because he had poisoned all of them.

The poison didn't not only work as a preventive and threatening reason but also weakened one. As the people poisoned would get weakened and paralyzed for a period of time.

Certainly, he had no intention of allowing these beauties to die in front of him, as they were not only great beauties that had taken his attention but also great experts.

He had already planned on not only having them serve him in bed but also in order to increase his strength and influence.

After all, it wouldn't be surprising if one day, some other guy tried to do the same thing he did. He had no intention of releasing his rule, he was going to be a monarch to these people.

But in order to do that, he first needed to work and increase his strength and power in the Nightless Stone City.

The biggest reason why an insurgence like this happened in there, was due to the quick increase in population and inability to control the newcomers.

He had no intention of returning to his superiors, and his country, those bastards would just enjoy his hard work. This was his opportunity to grow strong and big enough to matter in the world.

For that reason, he hadn't cared much about the prisoners, but hearing Eric's words at that moment, he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong and turn his head to look at them.

In front of his eyes, the 6 ladies that were supposed to be poisoned and unable to move, started to wake up and stand up like they had just gone through a relaxing sleep.

They weren't the only ones though, as even 7 kids from the group started to get up and stretch their bodies, with a clear savage expression on their face.

They hadn't acted until now because they were expecting the arrival of their Master Eric, otherwise, they would be now bathing in the insurgents' blood.

The poor Leader couldn't understand what the hell was going on, as he felt the scales slowly turn and they weren't in his favor.

"H-How!?"

"You don't need to know that! Now any last words!?"

The Leader seemed to have lost all will and determination to continue this, but the next moment his anger and rage peeked as he jumped towards Eric with killing intent, while screaming,

"Monster, I want you to die!"

This guy wasn't weak by any means, he was a Realm 1 fighter. In fact, to be more exact he was a level 153 fighter, who seemed to be able to fight at least 5 levels above his.

Too bad, that he hadn't been smart enough to realize who was his opponent, as the moment he reached Eric before his steely glove punch could even reach Eric, his arms were cut from the root.

There was no other choice for him but to actually fall on the ground with blood leaking from his shoulders and look at Eric like he was looking at his own death.

On the other hand, Eric seemed to be extremely calm, cool, and collected despite all this, as he looked at him and said,

"Death is too easy of a punishment for you! I will make sure to set an example with you!"

His icy cold tone, his attitude, his expression, his anger, and everything else made the insurgents around him lose all wish and hope to fight him.

"Aaarrgghhhh~! Demons~!"

No one knew who was the first to scream that and run away, but in a short time, it became a general thought and feeling as they all started doing their best to run away from Eric.

While most of them were running with all they had in order to run away from the demon behind them, there were certainly those that were planning for their escape and return.

These guys quickly arranged their trusted people, and some idiots from the crowd and quickly create escape teams to leave this place from the tunnel.

As long as they found their way outside, they would be able to not only find extra help but also have a chance at retaking this place.

Too bad that none of them seemed to understand the danger of the tunnel, as when they were brought inside, they were accompanied by the ladies or the core personnel.

In fact, as a security measure, Eric had made sure to instruct the ladies that no one beside them and the seven kids knew about the full power of the puppets.

While these guys might know and learn their numbers, the real power behind these puppets was something that they could have never imagined.

Certainly, there were also insurgents and lackeys that seemed to have a different thought from the escapees, and they were trying their best to surrender.

Raising their arms above their heads, they all lay on the ground with their face below, and started pleading to Eric through gushing tears,

"Please Master Forgive Us!"

Too bad that they had already surpassed Eric's limits and without caring whether they were surrendering or not, Eric just killed them all without exception.

By now, even the beauties on his side, and the kids had joined the fray and his job became much easier. They would either injure or kill their targets, as he massacred his way through.

It took more than 3 days to finish all the insurgents but at the end of the day, they were all sent to hell, without exception.

The only alive remaining people were Eric's ladies, the 7 kids, and around 3 to 4 thousand people that hadn't joined the insurgents.

When everything was over, Eric was covered in blood as he made his way towards his Mansion for a shower, followed by his beauties and the kids.

The one who was shocked the most by the whole thing was Cui La, who had never thought that she would be faced with something like this in this place.

Surely she was extremely amazed by this place, and what she found inside, but the show put in front of her upon her arrival had made her unable to resist and pass out.

Forget about her, even the Akira, Merika, Juna, and Hilda that had been beside Eric for longer couldn't believe what had just happened.

At that moment, they realized that their man wasn't only a strong and resourceful young man, but also an asura that wouldn't forgive whoever tried to cross him.

Eric was a bit out of it as well, as this was the first time after such a long time that he actually acted and did something like this.

More than the insurgence, what had made him unable to forgive these bastards was his anger and rage towards being betrayed.

As someone who had once been betrayed by his closest brothers, he hated this act down to his bones, and wouldn't allow anyone who did that to live.

As the water running down his body was washing the blood from his skin, the ladies entered inside the bathroom and approached him.

Each and every one of them was completely naked, covered in blood, which made them look more like demons than beauties, yet they all approached him and hugged a part of his body in silence.

They understood perfectly that it had not been for him, they would have ended in the hands of that limbless bastard, and only God knows what would have happened to them.

While they understood that Eric's anger wasn't only due to them, they were hopeful that there was a part of it for them as well.

Especially after seeing how he acted after Ice fell unconscious, even if it was an act they still loved what they saw.

Eric didn't say anything either, he just allowed them to hug his body, while the hot water run through their bodies.

They weren't in the mood to do anything more at that moment, but staying like this was good as well, trying to feel the warmth and presence of each other.

They had missed him for quite some time now.

It was only after a good few hours of shower that Eric and the ladies finally got out of there and went to lie on Eric's bedroom bed.

It took them more than 6 hours of sleep before finally opening their eyes. Each and every one of them seemed to have seen a nightmare or two, but they were clearly much calmer and fresh than before.

Eric had been awake earlier than any of them, but he hadn't made any noise in fear of startling them awake, and it was only when everyone woke up that he said,

"Good morning beauties!"

"Good morning Master!" x8

Each and every one of them greeted him with a kiss and tender greet, as even Cui La had joined the group some time ago when everyone was asleep.

Even though the whole mess was a bit too much for them, they still showed their resolve and character by trying to let it behind their shoulders…
