Chapter 38: The Fourth Milf?
After consuming the Blue Grade Talent Awakening Potion, the fifty individuals f opened their eyes.
All of them were filled with excitement. However, Ace couldn't help but feel a slight pang of disappointment. Among the fifty women, only three had awakened purple talents, and a single individual had awakened a gold talent.
The beautiful woman Sil had awakened the Shadow Clone talent, an ability that allows her to create two copies of herself, with a natural affinity for darkness.
And for the second and third person, it was none other than the wife and daughter of the destroyed Baron family from the north.
The wife, named Flare, had awakened the Flame Conqueror talent, a golden talent ability that amplified the learning speed of flame affinity abilities tenfold, while also granting her 90% resistance to fire elemental attacks.
Rosalie, her daughter, meanwhile, had awakened the Fireball talent, a purple ability that allowed her to conjure and control balls of fire.
Anna, the inn receptionist, had also awakened a purple-grade talent, a wood affinity ability known as Emerald Healing.
As for the rest of the recruits, all of them awakened blue-grade talents, such as spearman, swordsman, blacksmith, alchemist, and archer.
"Since all of you have awakened your talents." I want you all to reach the Second Tier Knight within a week, and I will provide you with the resources necessary to reach that level."
"After that, if you want to obtain more resources, you will need to earn contribution points by working diligently and completing missions.
When everyone heard this, their eyes widened in excitement, their hearts filled with hope and anticipation. After all, many of them were just ordinary people before, and even some of them had only awakened white-grade talents, making it impossible for them to cultivate without a proper cultivation technique.
With a pained expression hidden behind his mask, Ace bought twenty thousand blood crystals. He then retrieved the Elemental Breathing Technique from his system space.
"The three of you can make copies of this Elemental Breathing Technique and these blood crystals distribute them," Ace instructed.
"Hmm..." the three women nodded in unison, acknowledging his instructions.
Just as Ace was about to leave, a woman's voice called out to him. "My Lord, please wait!"
Nerissa, Lilia, Eureya, and Ace all turned their attention towards the woman, Ace recognized her as Flare, the woman with the golden Flame Conqueror talent.
She bowed respectfully."My Lord, can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Oh...Is it something inappropriate for you to tell me here, in front of everyone?" he asked, seeking clarification.
"Yes, My Lord."
"Alright, follow me," Ace said, gesturing for her to accompany him. He then led her to one of the guest rooms that they had reserved at the Inn for guests.
Inside the room, Ace took a seat on a chair, while Flare remained standing, her hands trembling slightly, her head bowed .
Although she was once a noblewoman, accustomed to a life of privilege and power, now that their backbone, her husband Baron Maxx Magnus, was gone, she felt vulnerable and exposed. Especially sensing Ace's overwhelming aura, she felt a great sense of danger, but in order for her and her daughter to survive in this harsh world, she knew that she needed someone's protection.
"Tell me? What is it that you want to say?"
"My Lord, my name is Flare Magnus, the fourth concubine of Baron Maxx Magnus. A few days ago, a powerful noble eradicated every member of the Magnus family, and only I and my daughter managed to survive.
"And as for the reason,it was because our husband discovered a hidden cave and obtained a valuable treasure: one was an enchanted sword, and the other one was a scroll."
"My Lord," Flare pleaded, her eyes filled with desperation, as she presented a small, ancient-looking scroll, "the treasure sword has already been taken away, but this scroll... I'm willing to give it to you, if you grant me and my daughter your protection."
Ace accepted the scroll and carefully opened it, his eyes scanning the ancient script. To his surprise, he was able to understand the words, as if the language was somehow familiar to him.
The scroll began: My name is Lowen, and I am known as the Sword Saint from the Loraine Kingdom. I reached the pinnacle of power within the two kingdoms, surpassing the Ninth Tier Knight.
And that's what I thought, but soon, a group of black-cloaked individuals invaded the two kingdoms, slaughtering the inhabitants of both Loraine and Lionheart Kingdom without mercy."
"I was confident at that time that I could eliminate those foes, but to my horror, those individuals were incredibly powerful. Many had surpassed the Ninth Tier, and some were even able to fly in the sky.
"While confronting enemies with the same power as mine," the scroll continued, "some information was leaked. One of my opponents revealed that I had reached the Earth Knight realm, while those who could fly were powerful beings who had reached the Sky Knight realm, their abilities far surpassing my own."
"My opponents also revealed that they were worshippers of one of the three evil gods," the scroll continued, "and that the two kingdoms were merely their breeding farm, used as a sacrifice for the Undead God's recovery. They believed that no matter what I did, I had no way to escape their clutches."
"Fortunately, I was able to escape, but not before witnessing the indiscriminate slaughter of the inhabitants of the two kingdoms," the scroll lamented.
"But what could I do? I couldn't do anything against them," the scroll continued, "so I recruited survivors and attempted to bypass the Blackmist Mountain Range, hoping to find a safe haven beyond its borders."
"Unfortunately, the black fog covering the Blackmist Mountain Range was incredibly dangerous, not just dangerous, but horrible," the scroll warned. "Anyone who inhaled that fog would be transformed into abominable creatures, attacking their former comrades without mercy."
"So, we decided to venture into the Endless Snow Mountain Range in search of survival," the scroll recounted, "but who would have expected the Endless Snow Mountain Range to be inhabited by numerous magical beasts and powerful beasts, with even more terrifying creatures lurking within them? With just their auras, I was certain that I would die at any moment."
"While confronting enemies with the same power as mine, some information was leaked. My opponents revealed that I had reached the Earth Knight realm, while those who could fly were powerful beings who had reached the Sky Knight realm.

"Fortunately, I was able to escape, but not before witnessing the indiscriminate slaughter of the inhabitants of the two kingdoms."
But what could I do? I couldn't do anything against them, so I recruited survivors and attempted to bypass the Blackmist Mountain Range, hoping to find a safe place to live.
"Unfortunately, the black fog covering the Blackmist Mountain Range was incredibly dangerous, not just dangerous, but horrible." Anyone who inhaled that fog would be transformed into abominable creatures, attacking their former comrades without mercy.
So, we decided to venture into the Endless Snow Mountain Range in search of survival,but who would have expected the Endless Snow Mountain Range to be inhabited by numerous magical beasts and powerful beasts, with even more terrifying creatures lurking within them? With just their auras, I was certain that I would die at any moment."
"That's when I realized how insignificant I am." In the end, everyone was slaughtered: the two kingdoms, my companions... all fell victim to the powerful beasts, leaving me as the sole survivor and gravely injured
"Before I perish, whoever finds this, I just want to warn you: the two kingdoms are just a breeding farm, used by the Evil God Worshippers as a sacrifice."
And if you want to escape this predicament, your only path is to become stronger and escape. While escaping from the Blackmist Mountain Range is possible, the Endless Snow Mountain Range offers a glimmer of hope, however faint it may be.
"So, if anyone has seen my warning, your path to survival may reside here in the Endless Snow Mountain Range, even though I know it is filled with danger.
Upon discovering that the two kingdoms were merely used as breeding farms for sacrifice, Ace's hair stood on end, his heart tightened,his face beneath his mask was filled with gravity.
Taking a deep breath, Ace calmed himself down.With this,I promise you that I'll do all I can to protect you and your daughter. However, "if you want to truly stop this problem, you must eradicate your enemies completely.
"Thank you, My Lord," Flare replied.
But eradicating those who hunted us is impossible with my current strength. Her eyes filled with sadness as she looked at Ace.
"No need for you to worry about that," Ace reassured her. "With your awakened talent, reaching the level of eliminating your enemies is not far off.
However, his eyes looked at her up and down, in order for you to improve your strength rapidly, you will need a lot of resources.
Ace was amazed by Flare's beauty, a woman who possessed a score of 96 points on the beauty scale, with a favorability rating of 35 points.
Upon seeing his gaze at her, Flare realized, in order for him to help her, she needed to offer something in return.
Recognizing the meaning of his gaze, Flare's body trembled with a mixture of fear and determination. In order for her and her daughter to survive and eradicate their enemies, she knew that she needed to sacrifice something.
"My Lord," Flare asked, her voice strained and her teeth gritted in determination, "what do you want? What must I do in order for you to help me grow stronger?"
"It's simple," Ace said nonchalantly, as he slowly removed his mask. You just need to serve me anytime I want, and in return, you'll receive your daily resources in order for you to grow rapidly.
Flare was taken by surprise when she saw his appearance. Although he wasn't as handsome as the other noblemen she had encountered, Ace possessed a unique aura that set him apart. When she looked into his eyes, Flare felt a great attraction, her face flush and her head lower in a mix of shyness and anticipation.
"What am I doing?" Flare thought to herself. "He's much younger than me, but why does he want to do something like that for an old woman like me?"
Sensing her silence and with a vague idea of what she was thinking.
"You're beautiful, nor are you an old woman," Ace said, his words meant to dispel her insecurities.
"Ahh... is what you said true?" she asked, her heart elated by his words. After all, what woman wouldn't want to be praised, especially by a young man like Ace, who was far younger than her? If her guess was right, Ace was probably not older than twenty, while she was already thirty-seven years old.
Indeed, to tell you the truth, you look like you're 25-27 years old, and that's indeed the case, he thought to himself.
Alright, as long as you help me and become stronger quickly, I'll do what you want and the fact that her husband hadn't touched her in a long time, especially after he had acquired five more younger concubines.
Then, Flare stepped forward and knelt down between Ace's legs.My Lord,I will now begin, if you don't mind.
Ace smiled knowingly and nodded in approval, while secretly activating his innate abilities. Pleasure God Hormones, an irresistible aphrodisiac, and an invisible fragrance emanated from his body, both of which were highly addictive to women and had the power to arouse their desires.
