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

Chapter 76: Overlord will bully you back

It was the overlord’s step.

"W-What kind of magic circle is this?" Bartlo uttered in disbelief as he stared at the army of ice trolls standing behind Minato.

They were the latest addition to Minato’s world.

Their bodies towered behind their master as they were around four meters tall. Their eyes shone blue, filled with deep and dense ice crystals. Those jewels flashed with killing intent as they all wanted to prove themselves.

They couldn’t since they were the latest addition.

One could easily see how eager they were to smash their ice clubs on others!

Minato chuckled, "My boys want to prove themselves, so I hope you won’t disappoint them. If you try to run away, all of you will die. Die the slowest death that is."

Ice trolls barked at the guards, who had been clearly scared witless by their sudden appearance. It didn’t take much time to connect the dots, and most of them knew that those trolls came straight from the dungeon.

A man who summoned a dungeon race out of nowhere!

That was the man they dared to provoke.

Bartlo paled.

Unlike people under his order, he was well aware of Minato’s identity. That man was indeed the Overlord, a person whose purpose was to take dungeons and go between the worlds!

"T-They say that they will be able to leave the world only if they take all the dungeons... No wonder he has come here... I am done... I am so fucking done," Batlo rattled off the knowledge.

His eyes shifted to the ice trolls.

They were a new addition to the Overlord’s army, meaning they needed someone to face.

The Overlord wanted to test his new people, and those very same guys wanted to prove themselves. That desire would’ve been different if the ice trolls had beautiful women.

Alas, they didn’t.

The ice troll’s women matched their male representatives height-wise, and their skin was also blue and quite sharp. Even their softest parts were tough to squeeze, but that was exactly what the ice trolls liked.

Then, their faces were also pretty ugly.

For trolls, it was not, but for human’s standards and Minato’s tastes, the ice troll women were no good.

Bartlo’s imagination of those women was on the spot. Even if he was somehow not correct, those ice trolls couldn’t provide any dual cultivation benefits to the Overlord anyway.

It also didn’t look like they had any different qualities other than pure strength and rigid bodies.

"Who says that we want to run away?" Bartlo shouted, bravely taking a step forward as the commander and the strongest man from his own army, "We shall face the Overlord! Did you hear me, my people?! The Overlord! One of the existences whose fate is either to die by low-borns such as us or sit at the top throne!

We shall be the former! Lift your weapons and charge at those bastards! I shall face the Overlord and wait for your success!" Bartlo’s speech surely raised morale!

His people howled in response, showing their will to fight.

Their armors went through tremendous change, then.

Those convex armors started shrinking! They pulsed, slowly sticking closer to the men’s skins! In less than thirty seconds, all soldiers from the Hard Steel Empire became like superheroes from Earth’s movies.

Even their helmets were strikingly similar to those superheroes as if inspiration came from those movies.

That was the Hard Steel Empire’s power! Those armors made their soldiers more flexible and faster while keeping the same defenses. Many people, primarily those from other empires, jokingly deemed those soldiers monkeys.

Bartlo’s presence increased the effects of those armors!

Alas, Ice trolls laughed in response.

"We won’t have to move our clubs twice! Hehe!" They roared in tandem.

At their helm, Minato also chuckled, "I didn’t expect to see something similar to Earth immediately after leaving it. Well, that is fate. Show me what you got, ice trolls."

His voice was the signal.

Instantly after Minato’s voice died, the ice trolls rushed at the soldiers. Their weapons dug deep trails in the ground as they moved forward.

The ground shook alongside their war cries.

Much differently to those ice trolls, the soldiers from the Hard Steel Empire rushed forth without making any sound. Be it running or jumping, those soldiers didn’t make any sound.

It would be good if they could maintain it up until the end, wouldn’t it be?

However, that was only possible if their opponents were much weaker than them!

"AHHHHH!"

"I am the first one to kill a tiny human! Haha!" Ice troll happily exclaimed.

His ice club tore through the armor as if it was paper. The armor didn’t even have time to endure as it immediately snapped and revealed the bare flesh. A few broken pieces flew in every direction.

And then, the ice troll slammed its weapon on the guard’s stomach... That man died during the third strike.

Those three strikes weren’t slow, either.

After other ice trolls smashed their weapons on the guards, the battle quickly shifted in their favor. A few minutes later, those dungeon people played the baseball match with their ice clubs striking away the guard’s heads.

That kind of domination rendered Bartlo speechless.

"How come your dungeon race is so strong?" he asked Minato.

These two were pretty close as Minato casually prisoned Bartlo in his wall box.

Minato shrugged, "There’s just one enemy ahead. You. No hatred, no dungeon raiders, but more than ever, the ice trolls know that their lives aren’t at stake. They don’t have to stress about their home. Is that perhaps it?

I would say that my presence alone strengthens them, " Minato concluded.

That was indeed the case, however.

After Minato took the dungeon race for himself, he also made those people bound to his world. His world increased mana output, so people naturally grew stronger by spending some time here.

Mana made ice trolls’ bodies tougher, and their ice clubs exuded much more pressure due to it.

That was how they became so much stronger!

"You will be our tourist guide, Bartlo. First of all, lead us to your women," Minato smirked, "You dare to bully Overlord? Overlord will bully you back."
