Reincarnated as a rodent!WTF!!!-Chapter 126: Influence 5

"Yawn" Vice stretched his limbs as he stood up

His clothes torn rag that were practically hanging on his body

He peeked at the 3 figures in the cave, Gordon was standing alone next to a passage swinging his sword while the girls chat

He sighed and walked to a passage, Ivy side eyed but he didn't brother to look back as he felt her gaze pierce his back

He stepped into the passage looking at his status

He pressed on the skill influence

INFLUENCED: (Valeria)(Jones)(Gordon)(Scarlet)(Freya)(Lucas)(Bhadra Shin)

*********

He pressed on her name but nothing happened

'I should have known it wouldn't be that easy' he sighed with a heavy heart

He wanted to leave and he could teleport to earth and with the map only showing red dots that seemed to be grouped togather

He felt confident that they would welcome his he traded the information he knew about earth but

Leaving had a heavy loss on his end he would loss his first human experimental subject

And with the recent events that had unfolded on earth, getting other humans was a risky games

The air in the smelled foul as he stepped closer to the dime light

Then the ground felt damp beneath his feet as he looked at the bodies piled at the exit

'she must have given Gordon a potion' he kicked the bodies

"Thud"

...

.

The bodies tumbled down the slope and fresh air rushed into cave

He looked at the map and could see a few red dots at the bottom of the mountain

The rocks clatter at his every step down the slope

'I doubt killing a few goblins will impact my level' he looked at the eyes behind the tree's

He stepped closer yet their eyes seemed to get further away

'Its pretty obvious what goblins will evolve into if I use my skills on them' he sighed as he stepped past the tree's

The goblins eyes could no longer be seen as every single one of them ran from blood lust that threatened to strangle them and every muscle in their bodies told them that was the kindest thing that would happen to them by his hands

Some stumbled and were quickly trampled by other goblins as they ran they no longer cared about anything except their lives meanwhile Vice looked at the territory system oblivious to the psychological impact of his infamy on any one weaker than him

******************

'How do I expand or strengthen the territory?' He heard the gentle ripples beyond the tree's as he looked left

'I'll capture the goblins later' He walked to the lake as the leaves crackled behind him 'wait'

He stopped on the grass clearing around the lake 'they said Nate is here' he looked back at the mountain peeking behind the lush trees 'that S-Rank might know where I could find him'

'But what am I going to do to him' he walked to grey grovel shoreline 'Nate and the others have grown stronger than me back then'

He stepped on the sharp grovel with the sun high in the sky 'no matter how much I don't want acknowledged it I can't touch them unless I get stronger'

The water touched his toes 'but reaching S-Rank is impossible with my exp requirements'

'The best thing I could do is stat manipulation' he turned to the missions in his territory panel 'since It didn't provide information on what to do the best I can do to strengthen the territory is strengthen the inhabitants'

He sighed as he sat on the gravel 'then I two options if I do that mission'

The water shimmered at every ripple as he picked up a stone 'I either try to find the slimes and the rodent that left me for dead and work with them or I start everything from scratch and use the dungeons I have to build an army'

He tossed the stone into the water as he glanced at the gate control skill 'I'd prefer to start a new army but I can't summon those dungeons here, there's a chance that the dragons might be inside'

He pick up another rock 'bringing the dungeons here is risk then my other option is to run back to the traitors'

'No thats not an option either' the stone skipped on the water twice before sinking 'Gordon is only alive now because I said he is my brother to that lady'

He clenched his jaw slightly picking up another rock 'but if I do nether I'll lose free stats and will have to slave away trying to get exp'

The stone pierced into the water 'the dungeons are too risky right now with the possibility of a dragon being inside just like the humans'

'The best choice right now is the traitors' he stood up 'but I can't let everything that happened go unpunished' his vains were throbbing

He turned to the tree's 'first I should confirm if Nate is here then get my stats to S-Rank'

He walked into the tree's going back the mountain and on his way there he glanced at the map, there were a few red dots scattered at the edges of the outer region

'I have vague plan for strengthing the territory but how do I expend it?' he climbed up the slope filled with rock

'Nothing is coming to mind I'll focus on the stat for now' he stepped over the goblins bodies at the cave entrance

'It's pretty obvious that it would turn to a hobgoblin after using influence on it' he glanced back at a goblin body as he stepped into the cave

'But that only theory though' he sighed as he walked deeper into the darkness 'then it does make sense that when I use it on hobgoblins they would turn to ogres but happens if I use it on ogres'

He turned left in the dime passage 'I should first test out if theory is right but'

'Evolving too many thing does leave a problem' he heard voices at the end of the passage 'I don't if they'll try to kill me or not'

Ivy glanced at him as he stepped into the cave 'that enslavement skill the slime queen used would be useful'

He walked toward the girls ignoring the Gordon next to a passage 'but the mission for that skill is too much'

The girls went silent as he stood in front of them

"Miss I would like to ask you about something?" Bharda stepped behind Ivy as Vice spoke

Ivy said nothing but just stare at him and he spoke "are there any humans on this world?"

Ivy narrowed her eyes at him and Vice stared back fighting his urge to look at her chest

"Yes and I would like you to find a way to them" she spoke

'I would rather commit suicide than to let the association torture me' he gave a gentle nod and walked away as she waved him off

'It doesn't guarantee that Nate is here but it does boost my chances of finding him' he turned to Gordon and he snarled momentarily because of this the blood lust around him thickened as he stepped closer to Gordon

'For now I should do my best to get that enslavement skill' Gordon legs stiffened as he stared at the feet of Vice
