CHAPTER 112 DOROTHY

"After your slumber, my life has not changed that much; since I have felt the power that comes from this realm, I have been trying to fix my cultivation."

Clenching her fist, she exudes a powerful aura that is different from pure strength; it has a sense of wildness in her that is similar to that of a beast.

'Oh? She actually managed to awaken the inner beast within her; if not for the fact that I am incapable of controlling my strength efficiently, I would have liked to spar with her and gauge her current strength.' Shadow thought.

He smiles and praises her for her diligence; she has truly become a force to be reckoned with. He cannot deny that he appreciates her hard work; her talent is already superb, probably even greater than that of his two friends, but this does not make her arrogant.

"It is quite heartening to hear that you have not been slacking; I am more confident in giving you this important mission."

She is startled. She looks at him in confusion. She knows that most of the time, it was him who undertook the important missions in the kingdom.

To hear that he is giving her an important mission, she is actually very happy. This means that he is no longer seeing her as just a child; she wants to prove herself to him.

"What mission are you going to give me, teacher?" She asks with a calm face, but her excited voice betrays her.

Shadow chuckles after hearing her cute, excited voice. Hearing him chuckle, her face becomes beet red, and she is embarrassed.

Knowing the importance of the mission, he coughs, trying to disperse the atmosphere. Clearing his throat, he exudes a solemn vibe.

Knowing that the mission is definitely going to be important, Dorothy is seriously looking at him, not wanting to miss anything.

"The mission that I am about to give you is related to the lower realm; I want you to use your current strength to subdue the cities that our people have marked."

Her eyes widen; she cannot believe that she is given such an important mission. She clenches her fists; she reigns her excitement in; she does not want to embarrass herself once again; she nearly cheers after hearing the content of her mission.

Taking a deep breath, she fixes herself up, nods seriously, pats her chest, and solemnly promises, "Do not worry, teacher, I will definitely complete the mission, for you and for this kingdom."

Shadow trusts her, and he then reminds her, "Our people that are now in the lower realm are going to be under you; that means that you have absolute authority over them once you arrive there. This is going to be a difficult undertaking for someone like you, so I suggest that you take some scholars that are well versed in this type of mission with you."

Dorothy nods her head. She agrees with him. Other than fighting and hunting, her ability to take charge is truly pathetic. She needs as much help as she can. This is the first important solo mission that her teacher has given her. She does not want to disappoint him.

Seeing her eyes that are filled with determination, Shadow cannot help but smile. Actually, with her strength, she is more than capable of taking some low-level kingdom or big territory, but since this will cause an imbalance, he knows that the will of this universe will definitely suppress her.

"Be careful; even though your strength can easily destroy your enemies in the lower realm, the heavens will definitely make it difficult for you. It is better for you to leave it to your subordinates or at least suppress your strength," he suggested, inwardly worried for his precious disciple.

Dorothy seriously listens to him; she is actually sensitive to this type of phenomenon; she felt it in this realm; in fact, this is the reason why she has been training so seriously in order to fix her foundation.

If she fights her past self, she can easily overpower her past self. Even if her cultivation is actually lower, the power that this realm gives to its residence is greater than that of the lower realm. It is no wonder those that are born in this realm often look down on those that have ascended.

After a lengthy discussion, Dorothy sets off for the lower realm. She first went to the academy, and it seems that she decided to follow her teacher's suggestion to take a scholar who is well versed in the art of war or ruling.

Left behind in his mansion, Shadow is feeling great; he is more than confident in his disciple. As long as the number of cities that are under his kingdom increases, the reward that he will receive from the system will also multiply.

He can increase the grade of the occupations in his kingdom, empowering the overall ability of his people. With such a boost, they are definitely going to once again experience rapid growth.

He cannot let such information spread; his allies might try to hinder their development, but he does not forget that they are only allies because a powerful force threatens the safety and benefit of their territory.

Once the Eligan Kingdom exhibits such potential, it will be perceived as a threat by the other territories, and the first ones that are going to make a move will not be their enemies but their so-called allies.

They must increase the power of their military. He might be powerful, but under the might of an army in this realm, he will without a doubt die from their attack.

He is not going to risk it; fortunately, because of his people's earnest work, they managed to obtain the trust of their allies and lower their vigilance towards them.

They might be greedy for their resources, but as long as they show their power and make it impossible for such greed to manifest fully, they are going to be fine.

The only thing that he needs to look after is how to hold back. They want to dissuade those who are greedy from making a move, but not enough to threaten everyone else.

Massaging his forehead, he cannot help but curse their inability to adapt at a much faster rate. The number of soldiers that had died during these past three years was just too much for their kingdom to swallow.

They must replenish their manpower, and as long as Dorothy completes her mission, it will be much easier for everyone to obtain cultivation resources.
