Atlas checked his system as the notification of Aurex's death appeared before him. Alongside it came a prompt asking whether he wished to claim the island and the resources within it.
He briefly reviewed the island's status. Aurex had been a Rank 2 Lord and commanded a force of around one hundred and twenty soldiers. Not particularly impressive for a Rank 2.
In any case, Atlas had no need for them. Their levels were too low to be worth bringing to Gacha Haven. They would become more of a burden than a benefit to him.
He simply released them and decided to leave the island unclaimed for now, planning to merge it with his main island at a later time.
The island itself was not very large, so it would not contribute significantly to the size of his domain.
"If only the status of a Lord could be passed on to another when the previous one is killed," he thought briefly.
