Chapter 61
[1st POV]
As soon as we agreed, I sensed a large crowd moving towards us on the lower floors.
"Looks like we have guests. Pam! Free our 'bodyguards.' I'll get them weapons."
"Maybe it's better to..."
"I'll handle it, Pam!"
Once again, I summoned the mixed equipment I used when repelling the attack on the convoy.
"Ding!"

I handled the group of twenty soldiers rather quickly.
A few clones, smoke tags, precise shots—they were all down.
I gathered the spoils and returned to the hotel room.
Harton and Beatrice decided to take a secret route out of the capital.
Pam, Maze, and Lucifer went with them. Meanwhile, I split myself again and set out to meet the adventures head-on...
So, I headed to the location where the guard division was stationed.
Judging by the activity, they were already preparing to set out in pursuit of the fugitives.
My clone and I created two dozen shadow clones, with half of them designated as "snipers" and stationed around the military base.
The execution of the plan went flawlessly.
Not only did I disable vehicles and injure soldiers caught in the chaos, but I also turned the area around into a pit of mud where soldiers and officers became hopelessly stuck.
Those lucky enough to escape the zone of destruction, or those who managed to avoid it entirely, were shot by my clones acting as snipers.
The other ten clones disguised themselves with Transformation Jutsu and dove straight into the fight, engaging in close combat.
They were armed with knives and various martial arts techniques, and they wreaked havoc.
The more rational sergeants and surviving officers tried to restore order after the first wave of attacks.
However, my clone and I weren't about to let that happen.
We had already agreed to use this as an opportunity to sharpen our skills in "Hand-to-Hand Combat" and "Melee Weapon Mastery."
I wielded the sword Artemis gifted me while my clone relied on bare hands to cause chaos.
I wasn't afraid of dying, and my health stats and regeneration were formidable, almost Wolverine-like.
This bloodbath lasted four hours.
During this time, I dispatched nearly ten thousand troops.
This Life in the DC world is harsh, and a player's mind shields me from the guilt that might otherwise accompany such actions.
I finally sat down on a crate to catch my breath, sending my clones to gather "trophies."
The system messages I reviewed brought a sense of triumph. I had made significant progress:
[+1 Level Up]
[+1 Level Up]
[+1 Level Up]
...
[+1 Level Up]
[Achievement Unlocked: "Blood Reaper"!]
[Blood Reaper - Grants +5 levels to "Fear Aura" and a 75% chance to bypass lines to Hell.]
[+1 "Fear Aura"]
[+1 "Fear Aura"]
...
[+1 "Fear Aura"]
I wonder if it will evolve into a Reiatsu once it hits level 50? At this rate, I'll probably find out sooner rather than later.
I completely missed the level-up for chakra techniques and abilities. I've completed the main part of the quest, but now there's a side one.
Of course, it's not mandatory, but I really want to improve my relationship with Beatrice... She's a pretty girl.
While there's still time, I can choose a few sealing techniques. I have accumulated around three hundred, including the ones I've received.
So, first, I'll choose 'Flying Thunder God Jutsu.'
With this, I can recreate this amazing technique and use it.
Then I bought more small techniques.
With the remaining fifty points, I decided to put them to use. I chose to open the Path of Genjutsu.
However, I'll have to work hard in this direction, but I think it's worth it.
I have something planned that can help me with this. The key will be to return to Gotham City...
After that, I made my way to the Royal Palace, where the uncle of the current queen resided.
I didn't kill all the guards, just placed Explosion tag in the office where he was along with a couple of his bodyguards.
BOOM!
Then, I received ten points and a bonus from the system.
I got the 'Map.' Now, I have access not just to a specific area but to the entire planet.
In theory, I could even extend it to outer space, but to track someone or something there, I'd need to set a 'Marker.'
Now, this palace is marked on my map with a golden icon and labeled. I'll always know which direction this location is in on the map.
This is simply wonderful.
An hour later, the 'rebels' stormed the capital, led by the queen.
There were small fights with some squads loyal to the late colonel, although they had already learned of their leader's death.
But in the end, Beatrice restored her power in a day with a swift attack on the palace.
Pam helped the doctors treat the few injured while I rested, occasionally interrupted by reading a book or sparring with Mazikeen.
Then I found out the opinion of some of the former 'rebels' commanders, who were now forming the new Queen Beatrice's guard, and the generals who had arrived from the training exercises.
They... fear and respect me, and the main reason for this isn't that I single-handedly won a small, quick war and destroyed an entire division.
It's because they learned that the one standing beside them was none other than Lucifer Morningstar himself, and I am his pupil...
As a result, this is their reaction toward me. However, Harton and Beatrice reacted more calmly to me.
As for Beatrice, the system explains her attitude:
Queen Beatrice 2500 (interest, attraction)
Anyway, this hasn't interfered with my life for now.
A week after more training at a small range, I was summoned for an audience that would officially introduce me to the society of Bialya as a noble and holder of the country's highest award.
They attributed many accomplishments to me: the killing of the usurper, the rescue of Queen Bee, battles with traitors, and so on.
Officially, the 'loyal people' of the queen had destroyed that division, but I don't mind.
I got what I deserved.
In the two weeks before the official ceremony, I managed to level up five more levels and made some progress in my skills, but most of my time was dedicated to advancing my chakra-based abilities.
As a result, I learned new techniques and leveled up the old ones.
