Chapter 69: Lord Beast within the tower

Minato went beyond his limits, and he summoned an enormous magic circle. It drew all hatred to one place, then sealed it in his Evil Seed.

He turned his eyes to Ingrid, "Good work. Take care of dwarves as I clear the tower."

"Yes, Master." Ingrid bowed as usual.

Minato nodded to the surrounding elves, then left a few words to all Frost Dwarves, "I will speak with your representatives later. The Tower is my goal."

"Yes, Master," The Frost Dwarves naturally didn't dare to stop him!

They turned their eyes to the elves instead. It was time to introduce themselves and learn about their master's goals!

Since Minato said he would talk with their representatives, the dwarves believed they would soon get a new home.

And that was indeed the case.

Minato strutted toward the tower while some ice sculptures still dared to challenge him. He broke them using his absurd physical power.

At last, the tower unfurled before him.

It was connected to the dungeon's ceiling, "We have crossed so many floors! I thought it had melted already."

"You need to beat the tower for it to melt," Yuna chuckled within her mini fox form.

Minato gave a last glance to the vast tower, then stepped forward like many dungeon raiders had done in the past.

However, Minato broke the rules ever since he appeared around the dungeon.

While even the Majestic Ice Kingdom royalty needed to properly follow the rules and melt the beasts, Minato just punched them.

It was similar in the tower.

Minato climbed upstairs and broke ice traps and schemes with his magic circles.

"You have become better with magic circles, Minmin," Yuna chirped.

After she gave an approving nod, Bei added, "Dual Cultivation with the elven queen and her people has helped Minato. That, and those Overlord Enemies who pushed him to draw those circles faster."

Minato burst out laughing, "That's indeed the case. I am a hard-working Overlord. Haha!"

Ladies rolled their eyes, taking a faint glimpse at Minato's magic circles.

Before he trapped Overlord Enemies, now, Minato did it to himself.

He summoned four magic circles around himself, then carefully pushed them forward while keeping them up.

If magic circles worked well, wouldn't it mean that Minato could just stroll with his bare body?

Indeed, that was the truth!

However, the tower's ice traps spread like a disease around those circles. Minato would need to exert more strength to break them, and it would be quite toiling with his raw body.

It was easier for magic circles as Minato just punched his wall four times, then moved forward like a boss.

"It's good that I told everyone to be careful of the Evil Seed Box... That hatred's explosion was pretty big! It didn't leave any harm, but who knows what it will be in a few years?" Minato thought out loud.

That was what he used Bei's help for.

Minato's Mind Whisper warned everyone from his side about the Evil Seed, and he also told them his plan.

No casualties so far pleased Minato, and he would make sure to keep things this way.

It also looked like nothing would stop him from melting the tower!

Alas, that was not the case!

ROAR!

Within the tower, an unprecedented roar rang out. It belonged to a beast whose breath was the ice storm itself! A blue wind carried snow with itself, and it swept through the tower, slapping Minato's box in the process.

He gawked ahead of himself, then his eyes rose, "Now, I am sure of it... I've gone through all the hard steps already."

Before him, an ice eastern dragon appeared. It emerged from the highest floor and slowly made its way down to face Minato like a lord beast it was...

It was an existence made out of black iciness.

Other than the abundant hatred within, what else distinguished the beast?

"Nothing," Minato whispered, "It looks like an ice sculpture, meaning that I shouldn't receive any unique present such as Heaven Sword's Blade."

"You look down on me, human?" Lord Beast asked.

To his voice, Minato smiled, "Yes. I do look down on you. In my eyes, you look no different from all the ice sculptures I've smashed on my way here."

In short, the Majestic Ice Kingdom's royal dungeon was exactly the dungeon Minato should've stepped in for the first time. It was a dungeon that every newbie Overlord should face first...

Or perhaps, the elven dungeon was just impossible for all newbie Overlords.

Despite the dungeon origins, Minato felt like he overcame all the intricate steps in this low world. All that was left was him building up strength through the dungeon conquest.

He would build a small world after this ice dungeon!

"Conceited human waste! I was wondering why I feel so much hatred toward you! It's your arrogance, isn't it?! I will-" Lord Beast babbled, but Minato's sudden offer silenced him.

"Do you want this seed?" Minato asked as he raised his box with Evil Seed within.

Seeing that seed, Lord Beast's eyes dilated. Its dragon hues shone with fear but also uncontrollable greed.

If Minato showed a little less composure, Lord Beast would've pounced at him already to snatch that juicy seed!

Alas, Minato's Overlord Aura exerted enough pressure already.

Newbie Overlord... has grown!

Minato tilted his head, "So?"

"You want to make a deal with me?" Lord Beast asked as it lowered its face.

Minato chuckled, "I don't really have any use for this seed... I might as well offer it to you. What I want is... your obedience for a few years."

"Deal," Lord Beast immediately agreed while inwardly sneering at Minato.

Little did it know that Minato also sneered inside.

He felt even more hatred toward this energy. His emotions were so mysterious that Minato would kill this beast on the spot should he lose a little self-control...

Still, he didn't mind making the deal.

This Lord Beast was your casual low world's dungeon existence.

He was far weaker compared to the existence Minato had faced in his first dungeon!

Feeding this Lord Beast with Evil Seed might bring out the news that Minato was genuinely interested in...

News about that 'Master' who was behind the elven dungeon's Lord Beast and the whole dungeon phenomenon.

Out of all Overlords, this existence stood out...

Minato didn't want to face him, but gathering essential knowledge for the future wouldn't hurt him.

It would help him, and perhaps Minato would surprise Yuna and Bei's father with this information in the future!

Minato smiled widely as he thought about his meeting with his in-laws.
