Chapter 439: The Dragon King
“Sister Stella, are you saying that you ate the black-and-white bead that fell from my body, and then you gained platinum-tier strength and became an angel?”
“Rose, that is the 1080th time you’ve asked me. That’s right. It’s exactly what you think.” Stella looked helplessly at the slightly dazed Rose.
It had been half an hour since Rose fainted. After she woke up, Rose kept repeating the question. During that time, Stella and Robin answered Rose’s question while asking, from her mouth, they learned the truth about the black-and-white bead.
Rose did not want to say it at first, but under the interrogation of her family, she could not explain herself. After all, Watson had saved her at the Royal Academy, and it was unreasonable for him to give her a black-and-white bead as a gift. After all, who would give someone a gift after helping them?
After being interrogated by her family members, Rose could only tell them that Watson had tried to recruit her, but she had rejected him. Hearing that, her family members all looked at her strangely, as if they were looking at some idiot. Their gazes made her cheeks burn.
“It turns out that Watson had given Rose some kind of solid potion. It was only given to Rose for her research. I thought that Rose had made a breakthrough.”
Robin sighed. He looked a little disappointed, but he was happy. Watson was able to create a potion of that level; the impact it would bring to the kingdom’s people would be no less than the King’s improvement in producing platinum-tier weapons.
No, the potions that Watson had developed would have a more significant impact than those platinum-tier weapons. After all, platinum-tier weapons only allowed people to have the means to fight against platinum-tier elites. Still, they could not truly allow them to become a platinum-tier elite. However, potions were different. Robin believed that no one would choose between a platinum-tier weapon or becoming a platinum-tier elite.
“Sister Stella, are you sure that after eating that black-and-white bead just now, you’ve become a platinum-tier angel?”
“Rose Weiser, that is the 1081st time you’ve asked me!”
Stella sighed helplessly and reached out to touch her sister’s hair. “Didn’t Watson give you that bead? If you don’t believe me, ask him for another bead tomorrow and try it yourself. How about that?”
“Even if he’s the kingdom’s strongest genius, it’s impossible for Watson to carry so many such precious things on him. Perhaps he only has one bead!” The eldest sister, Priscilla, crossed her arms as she stood to the side and looked at Stella. She was envious of her sister.
She was too cautious. If she were a reckless person like Stella, she would have swallowed the black-and-white bead that she saw on the ground earlier. Now, she was the one who had transformed into a platinum-tier elite.
There were only a few platinum-tier elites in the entire kingdom. On the surface, there were only about ten of them. Furthermore, Stella could ultimately protect the Abedor family, even if the family’s trade was in a slump. Moreover, Stella was not an ordinary platinum-tier elite but a platinum-tier angel, stronger than a human of the same level.
“You are right. Watson gave me that bead to take back to the Abedor family for research. He only gave me the right to research, but not the right to use it. Perhaps that thing is very important to him. But my sister ate it before I had the chance to study it. Watson will definitely not be happy if he knows about this. What should we do now?”
Rose came back to her senses. Her face was flustered, and tears appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Half a day ago, she had been disdainful of Watson’s offer, but she regretted it then. If she had known that Watson could develop such an epoch-making potion, she would have agreed to Watson’s proposal at that time. Her dream was to create a perfect potion with no side effects. However, Watson’s potion was not only excellent, but its efficacy was also heaven-defying. That was far beyond her dream.
Without a doubt, if she stayed by Watson’s side, she could easily obtain the method to create the perfect potion. However, she had missed all of that because of her choice.
“It’s alright, Rose. I ate the black-and-white bead. I’ll go to school with you tomorrow and apologize to Watson.” Stella patted her chest and promised her.
“That’s all we can do.”
Robin nodded. “Tomorrow, Stella and Rose will go to the Royal Academy with you. Thank Watson properly and buy some gifts to express our gratitude to Watson! Rose, I understand that you don’t rely on others and want to make the potion better. However, sometimes, learning to compromise with others is also a paramount quality. After all, there will always be someone better than you. In the Holy Dragon Kingdom, even though the Abedor family is known as a potion-making family, our ability to make potions may not be the strongest in the kingdom, so—”
“Father, you don’t have to say it. I know!”
Rose nodded her head vigorously, her gaze becoming firm. “Because of my mistake, Watson wasted a precious solid potion. In addition, he saved my life. Tomorrow, I’ll find him and tell him that I want to join him! I will repay his gift with my body.”
Robin, who was consoling her, felt a little awkward when he heard that. “Rose, what do you mean by using your body? I did not ask you to do that! Just get close to Watson as usual and be friends with him. It would be even better if you could learn advanced potion-making techniques from him and carry our family forward. As for the other matters, leave them to me.”
“The kingdom’s strongest genius has just won the Royal Academy’s competition and is openly recruiting talents within the academy. It seems like he is not as simple as only being the strongest genius.”
Robin said the last sentence in a low voice. The other people did not hear him clearly. As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the gradually dimming sky outside the window. His pupils became intense.
….
“Rose should have already reached home! I don’t know if she has researched the bead I gave her. If she can thoroughly research it, it will prove that she is outstanding in potions. She can help me in the future.”
The average person in the kingdom did not think that potions were important. They thought that potions were one-time items and would only be used when necessary. Furthermore, many people had prejudices against potions. They believed that taking too many potions would not only gain strength but also cause damage to the body.
Of course, all of those were true. However, that was the previous kingdom. With the fusion system, Watson could create potions that did not have any side effects. Furthermore, the potions’ abilities would be quite divine, and he believed that no one would be able to resist the temptation.
Creating and selling the Blessings of the Gods and Demons was Watson’s second step in conquering the kingdom. Using the temptation of becoming a platinum-tier elite, Watson would be able to quickly rope in a group of loyal geniuses by his side. When the King found out about that, he would probably be even more inseparable from Watson because of his greed for the effects of the platinum-tier potion.
While Watson was thinking, an authoritative voice suddenly sounded in front of him.
“Watson, I called you here to help me forge a weapon. Why are you daydreaming? Do you not take my words seriously, or do you not want to help me forge a suitable weapon?”
Raising his head, Watson saw King Landhar III sitting opposite him. Other than King Landhar III, Sidi, who looked like Ash, was also there, lazily leaning against the chair, “Watson doesn’t even listen to the words of a goddess like me, let alone a mortal king like you? Furthermore, you asked the three of us to act together and go to the Royal Academy to kill Watson. I’m afraid Watson is displeased with you because of that.”
“Sidi, don’t spout nonsense. I allowed you to go to Watson because you and I had an agreement in advance. I am a person with credibility, and I don’t have any intention of letting you kill Watson! Furthermore, I had already expected that you would not be a match for Watson with your strength. The fact that you are the only one who returned is proof. In my opinion, even if the six of you attacked together, you would not be able to do anything to Watson.”
King Landhar III sneered in the face of Sidi’s ridicule. “On the other hand, when you captured Watson, you actually attacked the other people from the Royal Academy and almost destroyed the Royal Academy! You attacked so rashly and still want me to clean up the aftermath for you.”
“King Landhar III, we are gods; can’t we crush a few ants? Furthermore, you’ve already admitted that you never intended for us to kill Watson from the start, so what’s the meaning of the bet you made with us?”
“I only agreed to give you a place to compete with Watson. As for whether you can fulfill your request, that will depend on your own strength!”
“Do mortals like to play that kind of word game?”
King Landhar III and Sidi argued. Neither side gave way to the other. Watson yawned and quickly looked at the hundreds of holy relics piled up on the ground in front of him.
After leaving the Royal Academy, he was immediately invited to the Royal Palace by the King. After inquiring, he found out that King Landhar III had asked for him to help him refine a starlight-tier weapon, and the holy relics were all there.
The Campbell family was the best in the kingdom in forging magical tools. However, the family only had about 100 holy relics, and King Landhar III had more than that. He even asked Watson whether that was enough. If it was not enough, he could add more.
‘You summoned me over for such a small matter. This is too troublesome. You could have sent these holy relics to the Sword Saint’s courtyard, and I could have done it there! Are you worried that I will hide the extra holy relics, or do you want to watch me make weapons in person?’
Watson speculated that in his heart. He had previously promised King Landhar III that he would help him make a good weapon, and since he had agreed, he had to do it.
“Fusion system, activate.”
Taking advantage of the argument between King Landhar III and Sidi had yet to end, Watson activated the system on the 100 holy relics in front of him.
[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing a large number of holy relics. You have obtained a peak starlight-tier tool.]
[Peak starlight-tier tool: the God-king’s Throne of Commandments.]
[Abilities: Absolute Control (words will become law and will be obeyed by others), God’s Code (the law formed by the perfection of words can restrict the ruled kingdom, the more perfect the law, the stronger the binding force), Pope (in the ruled kingdom, all the abilities released will be recorded, including starlight-tier abilities, and the user can freely use these abilities), king (can confer titles to any of the people in the kingdom, after being conferred, it will significantly increase the strength, raising the level is related to the people’s original talent and strength).]
[Additional abilities: God-king’s Army (can summon a starlight-tier soldier with the strength of a god to defend oneself), Dustless Land (activate the protective shield so that no one can get close to the throne, even if a god recklessly enters, he will be crushed), the Throne’s Commandment (the throne is an ability that surpasses the divine kingdom, those below the sovereign tier won’t be able to use it).]
As the fusion was completed, the holy relics in front of Watson instantly turned into rays of light and fused, turning into a throne more than three meters tall and emitting divine radiance.
The throne was in the shape of a mountain, and clouds surrounded the back of it. From afar, it seemed very tall, and if one were to look closely at the meteorites on the throne that looked like fragments of stars, a nebula would drift out from it and spin faintly. It made one’s mind be sucked into it, and one could not help but show an intoxicated expression.
“The starlight-tier weapon fused from hundreds of holy relics is indeed powerful! Judging from its power, it has already surpassed the weapons that I fused for my two masters and even surpassed the Books of Wisdom and other weapons that I created previously.”
Watson could not help but sigh.
As the monarch, not only did King Landhar III have a lot of holy relics, but the quality was also better than the Campbell family’s. The result was a peak starlight-tier weapon that was only a little less than the sovereign tier.
In terms of power, the God-king’s Throne of Commandments could freely set the rules in a restricted kingdom and do whatever it wanted. Even the elites who had the power of a divine kingdom would be controlled. Once they used their power, the throne would record it, thus, allowing King Landhar III to use it.
The most powerful part of that weapon was that as long as King Landhar III released the God-king’s Throne of Commandments, no one in the kingdom would be able to use even the slightest bit of power, and the attack had the protection of the God-king’s Army that consisted of sovereign-tier soldiers. The defense had a super-strong shield like the dustless land. As long as one sat on the throne, their attack and defense would be one. There was no flaw.
“It is as I expected of Watson. He helped you to create the weapon you wanted so quickly.”
King Landhar III noticed the light flashing in front of Watson and immediately stopped arguing with Sidi. He turned around with a burning gaze and came in front of Watson.
Admiring the huge throne, King Landhar III breathed heavily. If he had not been king for many years and had a firm will, he would have already pounced on the throne.
Before Watson made the weapon, King Landhar III was a little nervous. He did not know what kind of weapon Watson would make. As a king, he would lose his dignity if the weapon was not as good as the ones Watson made for Antonio and Reid. However, at that moment, after seeing the throne Watson made, he was very sure that it was what he wanted.
What else could better reflect His Majesty than a glittering throne that symbolized the supremacy of power?
“Watson, that throne that looks very good. In terms of appearance, I am very satisfied. I wonder what its effects are?”
Even though he was very satisfied with the appearance of the throne, King Landhar III still asked.
“That throne’s ability is very simple. First of all, it can write rules. Those rules are different from the rules that the kingdom currently has. It will cover all parts of the kingdom in an invisible way. At the same time, if you violate the contents of the law, you will be severely punished.”
Watson used the throne in front of him to release God’s Code. “For example, I now stipulate that women must kneel and sit in front of men in the room. If they don’t do so, they will be flogged.”
Whoosh!
With Watson’s voice, Sidi, who had been leaning against the chair with her legs crossed, suddenly trembled and rolled down from the chair, kneeling on the ground.
“Hey, Watson, you don’t have to use me to test out new weapons, do you?”
Sidi shouted and wanted to get up from the ground. However, just as she moved, golden vines appeared in the void behind her. The vines were covered with sharp barbs, like small swords, and they hit Sidie’s back hard. Soon, her clothes and her skin were torn.
“I’m sorry, Sidi. You’re a God, after all. I think it’ll be better if I use you to show off.”
Watson’s tone was apologetic, but there was no hint of apology on his face. After all, Sidi had tried to harm him many times, and he wanted to take revenge for what she had done.
“You can actually suppress a body that has the power of a god. Not bad. Does that weapon have any other magical abilities?”
“Of course. Its main offensive ability is called the God-king’s Army. It can summon a large number of soldiers. Every soldier has the power of a god, and the number of soldiers summoned depends on one’s strength.”
Watson spread his legs and sat on the throne. The moment he sat on the throne, a layer of glittering and gorgeous robes appeared on his body. The robes were painted with the sun, the moon, and stars. At the same time, a crown of falling starlight appeared on top of his head. His entire face was blurred, leaving only a pair of eyes that looked like the eyes of a god looking down on all living things.
“God-king’s Army, activate.”
Eight figures appeared around his throne. Each figure was covered in heavy armor and held a long spear in their hands. Other than the cloak made of starlight behind them, only a heavy, thunder-like whistle reverberated in the bedroom.
“That is the God-king’s Army? It doesn’t look like much.”
Sidi rubbed her back and got up from the ground. Watson had canceled the rule that had just been declared when he summoned the God-king’s Army, so Sidi no longer had to kneel on the floor.
At that moment, seeing the warrior who was covered in thick armor and covered in starlight in front of Watson, Sidi showed a nonchalant look and extended her right hand to one of the soldiers. “Perhaps I can defeat that soldier with one hand. Surely there is a difference between a starlight-tier weapon and a true starlight-tier elite like me… Ow… pain, pain, pain!”
Halfway through her words, Sidi’s expression suddenly twisted because her palm was grabbed by the soldier closest to her.
Grabbing her palm, the soldier’s armored hand exerted a little force and pinched Sidi’s hand until it deformed.
“Let go; you b*stard!”
Sidi jerked her arm, but the soldier’s hand did not move at all. On the contrary, seeing that the other party did not let go, Sidi raised her right leg and kicked the armor on the soldier’s chest. There was a loud sound, but the armor on the soldier’s chest was not damaged at all. On the other hand, Sid’s right leg was injured. She hugged her right leg and cried out comically on the ground in pain.
“That is the power of the God-king’s Army. It is not bad, worthy of its name.” King Landhar III ignored Sidi as he nodded in satisfaction.
“Next, I want to show the throne’s defensive ability, the Dustless Land.”
Watson waved his hand again, and a light screen immediately shot up around the throne, covering the sky and the sun. The ground and walls in front of the light screen were shattered. Even though the soldier, which Sidi did not manage to break with her full strength kick, was the closest to the throne, the armor on his body began to crack because of the soaring screen of light.
“The last thing I want to show is the most powerful ability—the Throne’s Commandments!”
Watson opened his hands, and an invisible wave spread out from his body. After that wave appeared, the energy wave in the entire air disappeared.
Sidi was originally in a sorry state because of the God-king’s Army. At that moment, she was shouting, “A god’s phantom summoned by a mere weapon dares to be impudent in front of me?” A divine kingdom formed by shadows and covered with tentacles appeared under her feet. Each of the tentacles held different types of potions. She was about to use the tentacles to surround the God-king’s Army and use the potions to melt the heavy armor on them.
At that moment, the invisible wave from Watson and the throne swept over her body, making the divine kingdom and the potion on the tentacles disappear.
“Huh?”
Sidi knelt on the ground again. The soldier pinched her fingers until they creaked. She grimaced in pain, “Stop pinching me. I was wrong. I was just joking… Argh!”
After testing the ability of the throne, Watson walked down from the throne. When he saw Sidi kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, he waved his hand to dismiss the God-king’s Army. “Your Majesty, those are the basic abilities of the weapon I made. What do you think about it?”
“Good, I like it very much! As your reward for making such a good weapon, you can stay in the palace to eat and get closer to my daughter, Kiana.”
“Your Majesty, let’s forget about dinner, I—”
Watson’s face turned bitter, and he secretly criticized King Landhar III for being stingy. He had helped create such a powerful weapon, but King Landhar III had only let him stay for dinner with Kiana. That was not a reward but a punishment.
However, before he could finish, King Landhar III interrupted him. “Watson, what do you want to say? Another fire at home that needs putting out? Even if your house is completely burned today, you are not allowed to leave.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I understand.”
“If you understand, then go change your clothes. Besides the royal family members, there is also a distinguished guest from abroad. You must dress up to show your respect to her.”
King Landhar III urged him with a half-smile on his face. Watson nodded and agreed, thinking that it seemed like King Landhar III did not invite him there just to let him make weapons but for other purposes.
After he left, King Landhar III looked at the throne before him, and his eager eyes gradually cooled. His expression became calm. “Sidi, what do you think of the throne? Who is better or worse than the weapons used by the real gods in the divine realm? ”
“In my opinion, that weapon is already better than the weapons used by ordinary gods. I don’t even have such a powerful weapon.” Sidi rubbed her sore arm and said unhappily, “By the way, if there is such a thing next time, can’t you get someone else to do it? I am a dignified goddess, but I was destroyed in front of Watson. Do I not care about my dignity as well?”
“What does it matter? Anyway, you have already reached an agreement with Watson, haven’t you?”
“You know about that?”
King Landhar III smiled slightly. When he had guided the three gods to the Holy Dragon Kingdom, he had been worried that Watson would not be able to defeat them, so he had secretly sent people to observe them. In the end, he had seen something interesting.
“There is nothing that I don’t know in the kingdom. Just like how that throne can seal all the divine kingdoms, I am the absolute ruler of this kingdom! Wherever I look, it is my land, and above that is my kingdom.”
Using a calm tone to say those domineering words, King Landhar III turned to look at Sidi as she secretly curled her lips. “I don’t care about your intentions. I just want to ask you one thing! Are you on my side or Watson’s side? ”
“Mortal King, watch your words. I am a god, so I will only stand on the side of the victor.”
King Landhar III was stunned for a moment before he laughed. “I am relieved to hear you say that.”
While he was talking to Sidi, a woman’s voice suddenly came from outside. “Your Majesty, I’m Emma. I have something to report.”
“Come in.”
A beautiful woman in revealing clothes walked in under King Landhar III’s orders. She glanced at Sidi, then knelt on the ground as if she did not care about her. “Your Majesty, just now, the leader of the dragon clan, Lord Fafnir, and two of her subordinates have entered the kingdom.”
“Oh? They’re already here. They’re faster than I expected. In that case, the banquet tonight should begin as soon as possible.” King Landhar III turned around and sat on the huge throne Watson had just created. His body leaned against the back of the throne and gently touched the patterns on it. His brows gradually relaxed.
“I was a little worried about how the banquet would develop tonight, but with this thing, I’m not afraid anymore.”
….
Outside the capital, on a busy main road leading to the palace.
A young girl wearing a long sky-blue dress with two curved horns in her hair was walking on the road. Her sky-blue hair was like a burning flame. Her eyes were different from ordinary people’s. They were vertical in shape, and the color was the color of blue waves. It was as if there was a violent ocean within them.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the capital. I really miss it.”
The blue-haired girl patted her hair that had been blown by the wind, revealing a thoughtful expression.
She was like a burning blue dahlia, and with the two dragon horns on her head, she became the most beautiful scene on the road. Many pedestrians were staring at her. Some were so engrossed in watching that they did not even notice the road ahead and bumped into the wall.
“Who is that? She looks so imposing!”
“And the dragon horns on her head don’t look human! I’ve heard about a group of extremely powerful existences in the Dragon Clan called the dragon kings. A dragon with the strength of a dragon king can transform into a human. Could it be…”
Whispers came from all around and reached the blue-haired girl’s ears, causing her to smile.
“Really, Olenna, what are you lamenting over there? Hurry up and come here to welcome Lord Fafnir. As a dragon, it’s really rude of you to act before your master gives the order.”
“I’m here, Sister Rem.”
The blue-haired girl immediately turned her head when she heard the voice. She ran to the front of a carriage as everyone looked at her in shock.
The blue-haired girl lowered her head respectfully and pulled open the curtain of the carriage. A girl with long pink wavy hair, about the same height as the blue-haired girl, supported a girl wearing a black Gothic gown and a black top hat as she walked out of the carriage.
The girl looked to be only 11 or 12 years old. Her tender cheeks were almost no different from those of an ordinary human. Even her pupils were similar to that of a human’s ruby-like eyes. However, she was wearing male clothing, so the girl looked somewhat boyish.
Thump, thump!
As she knocked the black cane in her hand on the ground, the girl raised her hand and tidied the brim of her hat. “I haven’t been here for almost a hundred years since I signed a contract with them. I did not expect that there would be such a great change here. As expected, for humans, even though their vitality and strength aren’t comparable to the dragons, their creativity is still very rich.”
“Lord Fafnir is right.”
The pink-haired dragon girl, Rem, and the blue-haired girl, Olena, complimented her.
They were the relatives of a few dragon kings of the Dragon Clan who took care of Fafnir, the being on the metal and fire throne. Fafnir was a particularly powerful existence among the dragon kings, and her fire dragon nest was not far from the kingdom. The Dragon Clan had always provided dragons to the Holy Dragon Kingdom, allowing the kingdom to nurture Dragon Knights. As a price, the Holy Dragon Kingdom had to seek peaceful living conditions for the Dragon Clan.
However, all of that has been broken.
“They dared to kill a dragon under my command and even turned it into meat. And King Landhar III’s explanation for that was that it was a mistake! A mere human killed one of my people, and he actually said that it was a mistake and gave me a pile of platinum-tier scrap iron. He’s too bold.”
Fafnir opened her mouth, and the air she spat out distorted the space. The high temperature made people feel suffocated even if they stood far away. Even the ground beneath her feet cracked due to the high temperature and gradually melted into magma. That made many of the surrounding residents retreat in fear.
“Lord Fafnir, the human king’s behavior is unforgivable. However, the platinum-tier weapons he sent to our nest are quite good,” the blue-haired Olenna said.
Ram, who was beside her, also said, “No, to Lord Fafnir, a mere platinum-tier weapon is not even worth mentioning. After all, we have diamonds and even more powerful weapons. Don’t you agree, Lord Fafnir? Since we’ve arrived at the royal city, we only need to find the human king, chop off his head, and hang it on the city wall. We just need to let him understand the consequences of underestimating the dragons.”
“There’s no need to act so rashly. When we entered the city, I don’t know if you felt any strange fluctuations. I felt as if my power was sealed, even though it was for a moment.”
Fafnir shook her head and withdrew the power in her body, causing the melting ground under her feet to begin to cool down.
Rem and Olena shook their heads at the same time. “I’m sorry, Lord Fafnir. We did not feel anything unusual.”
“Really? Then forget it. In short, there is some kind of powerful force in that city. We’d better be careful before meeting the human king.”
After that, Fafnir turned around and returned to the carriage. The carriage continued to move toward the palace. Rem and Olena looked at each other, their eyes filled with indifference. In their eyes, a mere royal city could be destroyed at any time.
If it were not because the dragon clan had limited numbers due to their reproductive difficulties and their warlike nature, their ancestors had set a rule of peaceful coexistence with humans to survive. Otherwise, in their eyes, humans were nothing more than weaklings and rations that could be slaughtered at will. Even with the rules set by their ancestors, they still looked down on humans.
The dragons had strong bodies, invulnerable scales, and dragon magic that was close to the runes. Humans were nothing to them. Most of the stories of the dragon-slaying warriors in fairy tales were made up because even ten thousand people at the same level might not be able to defeat a dragon, and the number of people needed to kill a dragon was even greater.
Using the advantage in numbers to defeat a dragon was one thing, but distorting reality in fairy tales and turning the credit of tens of thousands of people into one person was something that only weak humans could do.
As for the mysterious fluctuations that Fafnir mentioned, Rem and Olena did not feel them. They thought that Fafnir might have been wrong. What danger would they have in the human kingdom? Reid was the only person worthy of praise in that kingdom, but Reid was not a match for Fafnir.
Just as they were thinking about that, suddenly a youth dressed in black walked toward them with a displeased expression. The youth’s fiery red hair fluttered in the wind, and he did not raise his head. He seemed to be indifferent to the matter in front of him, but he was mumbling something.
“D*mn Watson! He made me owe 900 holy relics! I am too ashamed to return to the Campbell family. I believe that annoying Lily has already told everyone in the family about that. How do I get so many holy relics?”
The young man walking on the road was Augustus. Since he had lost the bet with Watson, he no longer dared to return to the Campbell family. However, the family had used up all the holy relics in order to transform him, but he had incurred more debts. He felt bad.
As Augustus grumbled, he was getting closer to the carriage where the three dragons were. Just as they were about to collide, Rem, who was in charge of driving the carriage, said coldly, “Human, don’t you know how to watch where you’re going? If you don’t want to die, get lost.”
‘Huh?’
Augustus, who was already upset, raised his head, and a red light flashed in his eyes. “How dare you talk to me like that? I think you’re the ones who want to die! ”
Then, Augustus’ body exploded with a volcanic aura. The powerful airflow broke through the clothes covering his body, revealing his metal arms that were shining with platinum light. The dagger-like barbs on his arms made Rem, who was about to refute it, suck in a breath of cold air. “His body is constructed with magical items. Kid, who are you?”
Not only was Augustus’ diamond-tier aura incredible, but his modified appearance was also terrifying.
“What’s wrong? Does it matter who I am? Weren’t you threatening me just now? Why are you acting so cowardly now?”
“Brat, we have important matters in the capital. We don’t have the time to tangle with a brat like you! However, since you’ve already said it to that extent, then I won’t be polite.”
As Rem spoke, she abruptly left the carriage. Her long, wavy pink hair fluttered even though there was no wind. Flower petals appeared around her body. Each of those flower petals was made of flames and had yet to land on the ground. The scorching temperature made the air emit a burning smell.
“Platinum-tier Dragon Magic, Sea of Flames!”
“It’s only platinum-tier magic. Haven’t you eaten? Furthermore, you’re playing with fire. You’re not qualified.”
In the face of a large number of pink petals that were attacking him, Augustus still sneered. He opened his mouth and swallowed all of the petals. Even Reid would not have dared to do so. After all, no matter how strong the defense of a diamond-tier warrior was, his internal organs were still very weak. In addition, the dragon’s breath was extraordinary. Augustus, whose entire body had been modified and could not even feel pain, was the only one who could withstand that attack.
After swallowing the flame, Augustus burped and said, “Not only is the temperature not enough, but its explosive power is also terrible. It’s really disgusting. I’ll give it back to you.”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Augustus spat a huge pink fireball from his mouth. It was as if a small sun had enveloped Rem.
“How could this be?”
Faced with that unbelievable scene, Rem did not even have time to dodge. Not only did a mere human withstand her attack, but he actually launched an even more powerful one against her. He was more like a monster than a dragon. What was going on?
