Carolines Conflict

To make up for the lack of combat power Dante V4 planned to change all of them into puppets! His first target was actually a Saint family run by a single Saint.

After a difficult battle and a two versus one fight Dante V4 and his assisting Saint actually defeated him and made him into a saint. And the process of occupying many counties nearby was slowly progressing.

Dante had spectated this through the hundreds of new golden ropes that were constantly forming. The other puppet clones occasionally added one, however they were all under certain restrictions.

The second most common puppet clone that actually formed puppets was surprisingly the SwordMaster. Along the way, Dante realised that the SwordMaster puppet was actually occupying many weaker sword forces and pooling them all together.

This was all because Dante could contact his own puppets, so he learnt about Dante V6s plan.

As a typical SwordMaster, he naturally wanted his own subordinates and what better targets than those who already practiced using the sword.

So far the SwordMaster had occupied five forces with the strongest being run by a single Ancient, with the four others being ranked by Fairy States and Spirit States. Although not powerful it is still reasonably influential on the continent.

He could still occupy five or six counties and control them although not as fluidly as the Underground traders. After all he doesn't have enough manpower and high level combat power to fully control them all.

With only three Ancients, the SwordMaster puppet was unable to keep complete control over the counties only accepting taxes from the forces.

As for the other two puppet clones recently created, the Phoenix Physique and the Undead Lord, they are trapped and have no intention to cultivate more puppets.

Two weeks have passed since the meeting, and Dante V4 has finally finished occupying a full thousand counties! The ancients under his control have reached an incredible 100 and the Saints have reached 5!

But he had an itch in the back of his head that he couldn't seem to shake. In these past two weeks he hasn't seen that little girl. He couldn't admit that he missed her obviously, he just attributed it to the Pink Lightning wrapped around his heart.

However now he had consolidated his power as a top force, he had no fear in his actions of going to visit her. He followed the directions from the Ancient Guard and arrived quickly at a major city in the very same Bickford Kingdom.

Over these weeks Caroline didn't seem to do much, other than staying in her own run down hut as if adapting to something. But surprisingly the Ancient felt constant influxes of energy radiating out of the room.

Clear signs that constant breakthroughs were taking place there. The Ancient predicted that she had already neared the peak of Spirit Tempering. An incredible pace for someone in that small Kingdom.

Soon Dante V4 arrived above the capital city of the Kingdom. However as soon as he arrived under the accompaniment of five Ancients, he heard a commotion erupting from below.

'You Shameless bitch, who taught you to seduce someone else's fiancé?'' A shrill voice echoed through the main commercial street.

With Dante V4s amazing eyesight he could clearly see that the one getting shouted at was his Caroline. Opposite her were two snobby teenagers, a boy and a girl. The boy had a noble aura surrounded by an entourage.

Whereas the girl held a flattering look as she looked at the boy's face, as if wanting appreciation for her action. And she received it.

The boy sent an appreciative look towards her before stepping forward and waving the flat of his palm towards the face of Caroline.

Caroline immediately had burning anger inside of her heart. Since when had the ace killer been insulted like this.

But before she could even urge her power to counterattack, she felt a fresh brush of air wrap around her body as a familiar sturdy figure dressed in a black royal robe appeared in front of her.

''Who the fuck do you think you are to touch her?'' Dante V4 or Marcus shouted in anger. He was protecting this girl with his life but there was still measly anta threatening to hurt her?

Even if he was not yet in love with Caroline, he had long since treated her as his possession. Not everyone can touch the Darklords possessions.

The snobby boy was flung backward with blood spurting out of his mouth. Just Marcus' shout was enough to stun him and half the city. Many powerhouses, having felt his aura, jumped in that direction as fast as possible.

Of course these are just powerhouses in this small kingdom. Marcus only felt one fairy state among the dozens of auras coming towards him.

''Marcus!'' Caroline couldn't help but cry in surprise. Looking at the majestic figure in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned at the sharp contrast between him and his previously mutilated state.

The noble figure in front of her radiated an unspeakable pressure countless times stronger than the presidents in her previous life. His sharp black eyes looked as if they could determine the life and death of billions.

Of course Caroline knew he could. Over her time in this continent she had started to realise the difference between it and her last world.

In her last world with a small population, any deaths would be popularised and receive countless media attention. However in this continent millions of people could go missing and no one would bat an eye.

It wouldn't even be strange if strongmen fight and billions of mortals die in the aftermath. However it was also this type of world she loved. Her heart was previously frozen cold from the betrayal and any care of human life was gone.

Over this time, her attitude got colder and colder to those around her. Even while facing Marcus saving her, she had a slightly untrusting look in her eyes. This man appeared coincidentally and she couldn't help but be suspicious.

Of course she didn't think this was planned because she knew the two people opposite her. One was her step-sister Karen Yuki, while the other was her ex-fiance Kyle Bickford, the current crown prince of the kingdom.

Karen Yuki was hailed as a powerful genius unseen in the kingdom for many years, whereas Kyle Bickford was actually accepted as a disciple of a Spirit State Warrior from outside of the county.

Naturally the original Caroline Yuki didn't dare oppose them, but the new Caroline couldn't help but fight them when they tried to steal a small relic in her hand. She found it in a small stall, as her pendant reacted violently to it.
