My wife's sisters want me to make a harem?!

Chapter 64: The Ice Dungeon

Everyone wrapped themselves in warm clothes, then followed the blue-haired princess maid to her home.

Many people rushed back and forth.

They were from the royal guard, dungeon raiders, and many others. All those people wore agitated expressions and hurriedly moved between the capital and ice volcanoes.

Minato caressed his chin, "If it’s Overlord Enemies, it might be more than just trouble... I don’t feel responsible for the Majestic Ice Kingdom’s survival, but I think everyone enjoyed our short say here. Am I right?"

Bei, Yuna, and Ingrid nodded.

"That’s why we will do our best to conquer the dungeon from now on," Minato said.

Out of all the people here, Minato would properly ensure Julia’s safety. Others could only rely on themselves and their treasures in the incoming and impending conflict.

Still, Minato wasn’t sure what kind of conflict lay ahead.

No one wanted to tell him, and Minato didn’t feel like bothering people with his Overlord Aura. Perhaps, using it here so casually would draw some problems, so Minato kept himself composed.

He turned his eyes to Bei, "Have you found anything?"

"A dense mana reaction beneath the castle... This low world is truly idiotic. Those twats built the castle on the dungeon," Bei replied with disapproving eyes.

Minato smiled faintly, "I agree. Anyone should expect Overlord to come at some point. But you know... They probably didn’t know about the Overlord Enemies."

Bei shrugged.

Julia had the worst reaction, however.

She couldn’t understand the magic circle floating above Bei’s palm, but the density of mana it showcased scared her witless.

"Excuse me! I must head straight to my royal father," Princess Maid bowed before the Overlord.

Her long legs flashed with magic circles. Those magic circles conjured ice platforms before her.

Julia stomped on those and secured the easiest way toward her home, which was going through the sky where no one dared to float without the royal’s permission.

Minato stared at her, "I hope you’ve marked her, Bei."

"I have," Bei threw her shiny black hair behind.

Although she cursed less, a little of her usual lofty demeanor appeared on her beautiful face. Nonetheless, it pleased Minato to say nothing of her quick action to mark Julia and secure her safety.

Minato said, "Just teleport as to this mana’s density."

"Got it," Bei smiled sweetly, then swept her hand.

An enormous magic circle appeared beneath Minato. It flashed with rainbow light that left many people speechless.

They stared at the High Spirit’s performance with dilated eyes.

No one knew what kind of mana and magic it was, but all understood that it came from someone with immense talent and background.

Minato and his family disappeared promptly after that realization struck the hearts of onlookers.

-

"Father! We should retreat!" One of the royal sons called out.

His father, Carlos, didn’t react to those words. He ignored anyone who mentioned retreat or giving up on their royal castle.

One noble already had his head rolling on the ground due to proposing such an idea.

Even if the king were left alone, he wouldn’t turn around, nor would he show his back to the enemies!

Yes, enemies.

Dungeon Monsters came out of it.

For years, the dungeon doors were closed, and only the royalties would be able to open them. The dungeon raiders naturally couldn’t enter the dungeon by whim, and as per the dungeon rules, no monster would come out of it.

Alas, a tremendous change suddenly swept through it.

The doors opened on their own...

And Ice Monsters emerged from it.

Those monsters were perfectly sculpted out of the crystal ice. The hatred and ice craft collaboration turned those monsters into tough opponents. Beneath their limbs, many dungeon raiders and royalties perished.

"Ice Gorilla? Ice Lizardman? Hatred lacks some creativity," Minato’s voice boomed from behind the king’s back.

Carlos promptly glanced behind, "Who let this commoner enter our dungeon?"

Minato wore his casual clothes.

He didn’t look like a dungeon raider, either. It was like a commoner somehow got drawn by fate into their dungeon! Moreover, it looked like Minato had already accepted his fate since he nonchalantly commented on the monsters’ appearance.

Many nobles and royal children grew livid as Minato’s words hurt them. Those ice beasts had gathered en masse, and the dungeon rules didn’t apply!

It was just a pure battle between them and monsters!

A battle where raw abilities and strength decided one’s life.

Minato smiled at the king, "I am taking this dungeon. I don’t see any problem with it... What about you?"

It sounded like another absurd question.

Alas, it was not.

Carlos shivered while looking at Minato, who just remained on one spot. Out of the blue, Minato’s presence became much different and heavier.

The King’s breathing spurted, and he trembled no end.

Minato passed through him, "I see you don’t have any problem."

The king noticed a wolf, a fox, and the bird on Minato’s body. Those cute animals were the opposite to him, their auras hidden. They just glanced at the king, then retracted their attention to the front...

Carlos broke through the sudden pressure, and he gawked at the incoming monsters toward him.

Of course, he wasn’t the target.

Minato was.

"What’s happening? Why are those monsters in a frenzy?" Carlos asked as the hatred took over the ice beasts.

His eyes then snapped, "Be careful! No dungeon rules apply here! You can’t melt them!"

"Melt? I don’t really wield flames, you know?" Minato chuckled.

Before him, an ice gorilla landed.

Its red eyes brimmed with hatred, drawing out its punch behind. In less than one second, that punch descended onto the husband.

Minato took the usual punching pose, then intercepted the fall with his own punch!

BANG!

Carlos and all royalties surrounding them gawked at that contact!

"He... He shattered the ice beast with raw body?!" An unknown and not so important royalty blurted out.

Ice Gorilla became ice pebbles after it tasted Minato’s punch.

Minato took out his Evil Seed and absorbed all its hatred.

Alas, the process lasted some time.

A time which other beasts didn’t waste!

Their vast bodies darted toward Minato at their fullest speed. From all sides, they aimed to pin him down and crash with raw and sturdy ice bodies!

Minato’s free hand wrote his unique magic circle on the side.

The word [Wall] floated just on his side, yet four walls erected around him.

BANG!

The ice creatures... shattered due to the collision.

Eyes of all onlookers stretched forward as they couldn’t believe what they had just seen.

Minato didn’t care about anyone, "Transfer."

He added another magic circle and sucked out all hatred to his evil seed.

"A few flying ice beasts had slipped out, in case you haven’t noticed," he said to the king, "I notified your daughter about it, and she knows all their location."

Bei did it, though.

Still, in a relationship, the couples share their deeds and achievements. Minato told the king about the magic circle Bei had left on Julia’s body, then he stuttered toward the dungeon gates.

Once he passed those, the dungeon doors closed.

"Overlord... It was... Overlord..." The King uttered... His eyes rose, "I pass the Royal Order to my daughter, Julia! Her words represent my will!"

The situation outside the dungeon slowly subsided as Julia guided her people. They worked with dungeon raiders and all nobles, which was half of why they succeeded.

Another part of the reason was Bei’s magic circle, which allowed Julia to predict the beasts’ movement and put them in a trap.

If the killing was not possible, sealing was!

And sealing was what Minato would like as it meant more hatred for him.

-

"Aya," Minato called his spirit.

Aya appeared with her long hair yet again tied into a long ponytail. Her dress fluttered as the cold breeze languorously passed through her.

Aya didn’t like it, however, "Cold!"

She grasped her arms, then looked at Minato.

Minato stood with Ingrid behind him.

His elf queen was part of his strength, just like Aya, so she no longer kept the bird form like before.

"It’s a new dungeon," Minato chuckled.

"Oh! I see I see! This dungeon has... Frost Dwarves!" Aya chirped as she analyzed the dungeon’s walls.

Her mind bloomed with information!

"Frost Dwarves? Sounds interesting," Minato patted his spirit.

Aya nodded, "To overcome this dungeon, we have to melt the ice tower! First, we have to find it, then we will be able to reach the top and melt it! That’s how we will enter the Frost Dwarves’ home floor."

"Hmm... This time it should be different, though," Minato pondered as he glanced at Ingrid, "Overlord Enemies should be behind this dungeon’s reaction... No Dark Frost Dwarf should come out to face us... Not alone, that is."

He chuckled, "I am also not alone anymore."

While Yuna, Bei, and Aya would surely enjoy some time in the ice dungeon by using the armors from Snake Concubine, Minato would stomp the ice floor together with the elves.

An army of adult elves appeared behind him.

"It’s our first mission together. Let’s overcome it. If someone dies, I will be very angry," Minato half-jested.

Inwardly, he did his best to accept deaths as no dungeon was a safe place.

The elves with the elven queen at the helm bowed and swore to not disappoint their master, "There will be no casualties, Master."

Ingrid swore as her eyes shone brightly!

After Ingrid lifted her upper body up and no longer bowed, she took the usual respectful stance. Her hand swept and summoned the elven magic circle.

The Elven Queen’s Forest bloomed within the ice world!
